As a Swordsman, Having Two Swords Makes Perfect Sense

As a swordsman, it’s only reasonable to know how to use all kinds of weapons.

Many years later, when faced with the will of fate that he was about to bring under his command, Ian would still look back on how it all began: that long night when he and Caroline faced a horde of goblins.

Back then, he didn’t even know what an Emblem was. Relying only on the bonds he shared with his weapons, he carved his way through the goblin army and scored a kill against an elite goblin.

Back then, he wasn’t the “Ranged Swordsman,” the “Light-Pollution Archer,” or the “Power-of-the-Sublime Shieldbearer” in everyone else’s eyes.

Nor was he the “Torture Lord” who was so good at defending that he wore down his enemies’ patience...

Many people accused Ian of hoarding powerful weapons for his own use and having no sense of the bigger picture. No matter how many times he explained that they were all just replicas, no one believed him.

But Ian would say: Just because you’ve never seen something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist!

Isn’t it only natural that conceptual weapons I summon directly with magic should be stronger than physical weapons?

Is magic really such an inconvenient thing?

People see only Ian’s flawless victories. They have no idea how much effort and sweat he puts in to collect each new weapon!

I’m just an ordinary person. I don’t have the overwhelming power of those heaven-blessed prodigies!

So I’ll say this just once:

Witness the bonds between me and all my weapons!

Villains, do you have enough HP to take this?
