Mystery: Becoming a Creator Through the Doorway

An Ruowang examined the short sword and felt that it perfectly matched his aesthetic sense.

He did indeed feel Abraham's sincerity.

He nodded, meeting Dorian's gaze:

"I have indeed received this sincerity."

Despite saying that, An Ruowang did not rashly accept the short sword, which was more like a ceremonial object than a weapon.

Who knows what kind of negative effects this magical item might have?

Moreover, it corresponds to Sequence 3, "Chaos Hunter".

An Ruowang asked:

"Could you please tell me about it? Perhaps due to the loss or incompleteness of records, I have never known of the existence of this magical item in any historical documents."

Dorian was not surprised to see this.

After that betrayal, the Abraham family also lost many records and histories, the most typical example being the "devil painting".

It can imprison and seal targets; it was originally created by the Abraham family for the rituals required for advancing to the rank of "Mystic".

However, many records of the demigod-level beings sealed within have now been lost.

He wasn't entirely sure how many terrifying creatures were sealed within the "Demon Painting," but he was certain there were more, and more than one.

Dorian took a deep breath and began to explain the abilities of the "Sword of Laws":

"The one who wields this sword will gain convincing charm and captivating authority, will be able to float in mid-air defying the laws of physics, and will have their physical attributes comprehensively enhanced according to their 'position' in the sequence pathway."

For example, if you are a Sequence 9 apprentice, you will have physical attributes equivalent to an 'Arbitrator', and at most equivalent to a Sequence 3 'Chaos Hunter'.

This is a passive effect of the sword; it doesn't require active activation.

The height of a fountain will never exceed that of its source.

An Ruowang nodded, indicating that she had understood and remembered it.

Seeing this, Dorian lightly touched the crystal on the sword hilt with his finger and continued his explanation:

"Its true power lies in its ability to make you act like a true 'chaos hunter,' issuing 'laws,' stripping your target of several extraordinary abilities, banishing them to the void, imprisoning them, and executing them."

"And what about its negative abilities?" An Ruowang continued to ask.

He had a premonition that the sword would have strong negative effects and would probably be quite unusable.

Otherwise, perhaps Abraham would have used it back when Butis betrayed Abraham, and then Butis, with the Aurora Society, took it away.

Dorian's tone became serious:

"This sword sounds powerful, but it has a fatal limitation—it can only be used in 'one-on-one' combat."

He paused, then explained:

"It has a certain balancing ability. In one-on-one combat, if the opponent is in a higher sequence in the Divine Path than you, you will receive a certain enhancement; however, if the opponent is in a lower sequence than you, you will be correspondingly weakened."

When you face more than two enemies, the sword's balance will completely slip out of control.

It will, in turn, interfere with you. You'll feel the battlefield fragmented, as if every enemy is in a different space, yet they're all attacking you simultaneously. Your attacks will miss, your judgment will falter, and your attacks might even hit yourself or your allies.

He looked at An Ruowang:

"In other words, if you are surrounded, this sword will not only fail to help you, but will also become a burden. It will only truly show its power when you are fighting one-on-one with an enemy who is stronger than you."

But it's not over yet.

Dorian continued:

"Secondly, and more dangerously, the person who wields this sword must always maintain a mindset of 'order'."

If the user is in a state of mental confusion, emotional out of control, or goes berserk in battle, the sword will immediately sense this state of 'disorder'.

It will consider that the holder has become a "disruptor of order" and needs to be "judged".

Then, it will automatically initiate an "execution," targeting the holder themselves.

Dorian's tone grew heavier, as if he were recalling something, and his expression even became somewhat pained:

"In other words, the more dangerous the situation, the calmer you must be. The angrier you are, the more restrained you must be. Even if you watch your comrades die in front of you, you must force yourself to remain rational. Even if you are driven to the brink by the enemy, you must not have the slightest thought of giving up."

Anger, sadness, fear, despair—these are emotions that normal people experience, but they are deadly poisons to you. Once you lose control of your emotions, this sword will be the first to 'execute' you.

An Ruowang's lips twitched.

That's not surprising.

No wonder it wasn't snatched away by Boutis and Aurora.

Alternatively, Abraham did not use the sword to fight the enemy because of its negative effects.

Either it was taken out and used, but it carried a rather painful memory for Abraham, thus having a negative effect.

However, for An Ruowang, the negative effects of this sword were not that important.

If it's really not useful, he can just eat it and unlock the collection guide for the Arbitrator path.

Having learned the story of the Sword of Law, and with no premonition of danger from her spiritual intuition, An Ruowang reached out and picked it up.

The hilt was slightly cool, the short sword was well-balanced, and the brass-colored crystal beneath his palm was slightly warm, like an eye slowly opening.

A warm current flowed in from the hilt of the sword, spreading along the arm to the whole body. An Ruowang could clearly feel that the sword in her hand had become lighter, and at the same time, her reaction speed had also increased.

Is this the physical condition of an arbitrator?

Then came an even more wonderful feeling.

An Ruowang felt as if his feet and body were becoming lighter, as if he were really about to float away, and he had the illusion that he had gained true freedom and that "gravity was losing its authority".

If he wanted, he could easily lift himself off the ground with just an impulse or a thought.

However, now is not the time to experience flying or play with toys.

An Ruowang stored the short sword in his small world, and instantly felt the damned gravity pull him back in.

Dorian was slightly surprised to see Aleister casually make the sword disappear.

But he quickly came to terms with it.

There is a mysterious and great being behind the other party—this is probably His blessing.

With that thought in mind, Dorian withdrew his gaze.

Then he raised his head, looked solemnly at An Ruowang, and spoke earnestly:

"Now, may you show yourself to me, Aleister?"

Abraham could not entrust his trust to someone who was secretive and evasive; I hope you can understand.

We need to be more open and honest with each other in order to truly be able to share our joys and sorrows.
