"What a pity indeed!"
The handsome swordsman, invisible to the eyes of mortals, sighed, but he showed no signs of taking action, which surprised Muria, who had thought a battle was about to ensue.
When this handsome swordsman appeared, Muria had already known his identity—one of the eight supreme gods from the local domain, the God of Slaughter.
This was information he had gathered over several months of travel from the myths and legends spread throughout the cities of this domain. Deities that exist thanks to faith naturally don't conceal much about themselves; in fact, they display everything they can, including but not limited to their divine names, combat styles, and even weapons.
The reason Muria was so surprised was that, according to legend, the deity before him was the very god responsible for slaughter among the eight supreme gods of this domain.
