The Unyielding Blade

Monsters, strength, rebellion, and ghosts—

These four words form the phrase The Four Supernatural Forces: the unnatural and the divine.

Confucius once proclaimed that such matters were not to be spoken of.

But what is the martial world if not a realm where the energy of nature is gathered in the core,

And The Four Supernatural Forces are wielded as tools of power?

In such a place, it's only natural that faith should exist—

Even faith in the incomprehensible.

A name that could not be spoken aloud by anyone other than the Heavenly Demon,

A being worshiped by the Demonic Cult, revered by all who follow the Heavenly Demon:

The Malefic Deity.

And the aura of the Malefic Deity was known as demonic energy—

A power gained by pledging eternal, fanatical devotion.

"Behold… this is the strength of this Sword Ghost."

The air turned heavy with oppressive demonic energy,

And everyone froze in place.
