Chapter 19: The Hell’s Advocate Dagger
"Sir Vald would kill you if he knew you complained about his creation."
"Huh? Sir Vald? Who’s he?"
"The individual responsible for the creation of this particular weapon."
"Oh, really?Well, if I ever run into him, I’m going to have to ask him what on earth was going through his mind when he sat down and created such a totally worthless dagger."
"Master Xavier, who told you this dagger was designed for hand-to-hand combat?"
"Huh? What do you mean? Aren’t all daggers made for that?"
"No wonder you consider it to be useless," said Samuel, shaking his head.
"Just tell me already!"
"Alright. Let it be known that this particular dagger was not meant for close-range combat—it was especially designed and crafted to effectively attack foes at a far distance," Samuel explained.
"Attack from a long distance? With a dagger? What does that even mean?" Xavier asked, confused.
"It’ll be simpler to show you than to explain," Samuel replied.
