'These words...'
Recalling how his consciousness had nearly been seized by the characters on the blade, Roland held his breath and focused his Spiritual Power before carefully examining the inscriptions that had appeared on the sword once more.
'They seem... somewhat similar to the writing on the scroll Graham gave me about activating the Bloodline Secret Technique.'
At that thought, Roland averted his gaze and took the Sheepskin Scroll he always carried with him from his waist pouch.
'Just as I thought...'
After a careful comparison, Roland nodded lightly.
The form of the characters on the blade and the writing on the scroll did share common traits, with only slight differences in some of the more subtle strokes and structures.
Yet, even after confirming this similarity, the meaning of the inscriptions remained shrouded in mystery for Roland.
Each distorted character seemed to be sealed behind an invisible yet resilient barrier, refusing to reveal its true meaning to him.
