Chapter 55 < Samurai Hearts - The One Who Cuts Through Darkness (4) >
“The first head of the family…”
Black Wolf nodded slowly.
He knew at least a little about the first head of the Atsuragi Family.
The young lord, Atsuragi Tatsuki, often said that he respected him and wanted to be like him to lead the Atsuragi Family’s revival.
“The one who purified the Atsuragi territory, which was full of monsters, and founded his family on that land is the first head of the Atsuragi Family.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“But isn’t it strange? How could a mere human fight and win against the monsters that covered an entire territory alone?”
“That’s…”
Black Wolf, who knew well the power of monsters, couldn’t answer.
The idea that one person could defeat so many monsters was too far-fetched.
Tengu nodded as if he expected that and continued.
“We thought that the reason why the Nagamatsu Clan, under the rule of darkness, attacked the Atsuragi Family was there. So, after searching through old documents, we found one important thing.”
Tengu took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
It was quite old and worn out, and on it was a detailed drawing of a sword.
Black Wolf quietly recited the name of the sword written on the paper.
“Monster Severing Sword.”
“That’s right. Monster Severing Sword. It’s the sword said to have been used by the first head of the Atsuragi Family. But the important thing is not this sword. Look closely at this.”
