The chapter opens with a description of the hades-like sword, which is like a death god in that it gives off its evil energy when it is attacked. This is why the protagonist is afraid of using the sword. He recalls the time when he used the sword before, when he felt as if he was being manipulated by evil thoughts in his head. Fortunately, he is his brother, so he does not feel the same way. The protagonist decides to practice using the artifacts. He uses the blood of the divine dragon to summon its power, and then he uses the ring of protection to protect him. He is amazed at how powerful this barrier is. He tells his brother that he has already mastered all the ways to use the three artifacts, and now he can use them against the assassin guild.
