Weapon Story[]
- The craftsman's weapons were neither flashy nor attractive, but they never once failed in battle. This reliability afforded him a never-ending stream of loyal clients.
- Yet something nagged at the craftsman. Though he'd forged many a weapon, he'd only tested them on pigs and cows. He wondered what it might feel like to use them on another human being.
- The craftsman took a sword to a battlefield and slashed at corpses, disappointed at how easily the sword slid through them. It wasn't satisfying at all. He wanted to really feel like he was ripping through flesh.
- The craftsman modified a sword in search of that feeling, not thinking at all of the pain it would cause—until one night, a bandit broke into his home, snatched the weapon up, and showed him exactly how effective it was.
Trivia[]
- Devola and Popola are shown to wield this weapon, true to its description.
- The Type-3 Sword slightly resembles the pair of swords that Kainé uses, albeit without the curved blade.
