Zaroth was grateful that he went with his gut feelings when choosing what kind of sword to get.
If he had played it safe, he would have gotten the all-too-familiar medium-length blade with two sharp edges.
But thanks to the fact that he went for the unknown and got the odachi, he was able to perform the attack to wound the assassin.
The odachi was bigger than the sword he was accustomed to using and was also curved.
While he still found it hard to attack and control the blade as a whole, it gave him an unparalleled advantage.
If he moved the weapon just right, the power of his strike would be so strong, so fast, and with such a large area of effect that few would be able to dodge it.
And seeing that there was a bit of blood on his blade, Zaroth couldn't help but curve his lips into a menacing smile.
At that moment, he knew that the assassin had been infected by Hellweaver poison.
It wasn't like the poison was much in volume, but that didn't matter.
