Chapter 16: Solitary (3)
It all started by accident.
Before the regression, Vikir's hunting party, the Hound Group, was raiding the dungeons that straddled the border between the Enemy and Black Mountain when they found a strange artifact.
It was a fragment of a swords manual.
It was a single torn page.
Realizing that what was written on it was strange, Vikir memorized it in his mind.
When he handed in the page in question, Hugo immediately realized that it contained something out of the ordinary.
Hugo searched through his entire library to find a book that matched this page.
What he eventually found was a swordsmanship book titled The Lurking Ambush.
It was an ancient book, found deep in the shallow shelves of miscellaneous books, not in the restricted area where the higher martial arts were concentrated.
The sudden discovery of this sword technique, buried in an unknown location, had set the entire Baskerville Street on fire.
"This sword art is the essence of our Baskerville."
