Chapter 66

In the era when dragon slayers and great mages still emerged among humanity, artifacts born from ancient magic and the blessings of the gods wielded tremendous power. Some of these included cursed swords that could slice through iron as if it were paper or potions that, when consumed, could restore youth. Among them, there were even elixirs that granted immortality or relics that could allow a person to transcend the limits of mortality and ascend to the heavens.
