Dungeon Mine Knife ③
■ Dungeon Mine Knife:
These are the knives sacrificed from Season 1 to the first half of Season 3.
■ 1st Knife
● First Appearance: Wof, Age 13 ⑤
● Sacrifice:
The first knife I owned.
It was cheap, but I’d sharpened it myself using my own methods and even used it as a kitchen knife.
● Cause of Demise:
I was looking away when the knife snapped with a bagin sound.
A part of the leather armor I was struggling to remove had metal in it.
It got caught on it weirdly, and the knife went pogi, and that was the end of it.
■ 2nd Knife
● First Appearance: Ash Flower ③ – Holy Edge.
● Sacrifice:
A knife I bought because my first one broke.
It resembled my previous knife.
● Cause of Demise:
First, I take the egg container out of my pouch.
I pour the contents onto the knife’s blade. The wet knife glitters.
As a result, it wouldn’t cut anymore.
■ 3rd Knife
● First Appearance: The Silent One ④
● Sacrifice:
A 20,000 Oro knife I splurged on.
● Cause of Demise:
It disappeared due to my carelessness with the Relic [Vanish].
■ 4th Knife
● First Appearance: Crown of the Wonderland ④
● Sacrifice:
A used knife.
Simple and thick construction. A bit heavy. Sturdy.
● Cause of Demise:
He lunged, thrusting, but I calmly defended with my knife.
When it met his blade―――the blade of my knife was severed.
“!?”
No, that’s not right. I get it. It wasn’t severed. It vanished.
■ 5th Knife
● First Appearance: Reunion Junkyard ③ – Skull-Cracking Brain-Sucking Asura Hunt.
● Sacrifice:
A knife I found in the Junkyard. Some kind of tribal knife.
A large, curved, black single-edged blade. A round sword guard, somewhat resembling a Japanese sword’s tsuba.
The hilt was made of smooth white stone. The sheath was hard wood.
● Cause of Demise:
But Blank Body A twisted its left arm, turning it into a blade.
It swung down while running, and I stepped forward to block it with my knife.
In an instant, the knife’s blade melted.
■ 6th Knife
● First Appearance: Tasan of the Ring ②
● Sacrifice:
One of three I bought for 50,000 Oro.
A simple knife. Actually, it was a standard series knife.
● Cause of Demise:
Pies swung his sword up, and I blocked it with my knife again… and instantly let go.
Baji! The knife that took the blow fell, and I jumped back.
I just left the knife there and forgot about it.
■ 7th Knife:
● First Appearance: Cat and Dog ⑥
● Sacrifice:
The second of the knives I bought for 50,000 Oro. A strange knife with a single, upward-curving blade.
A bit heavy, but thick and powerful.
● Cause of Demise:
Only the hand holding the knife was encased in ice.
W-Why?!
“Damn it, why just this one?!”
Irritated, I use [Vanish]. I have to hurry or I’ll get frostbite.
The ice on my hand and the knife’s hilt disappeared.
The blade falls.
● Resurrection:
Afterward, Pachira found it and gave it to me.
It was reborn as a new double-edged knife.
■ 8th Knife:
● First Appearance: Grave of Death ④ – Yomido’s Saturnus. Grave of Death ⑥ – Rest in Peace.
● Sacrifice:
Elixir Knife. A knife coated with Elixir, making it specialized against Undead.
● Cause of Demise:
Used Silent Move during the battle with Saturnus.
The Elixir Knife was broken. I repeat. The Elixir Knife was broken.
The Elixir Knife I was gripping tightly had almost no blade left.
It wasn’t snapped cleanly in half or broken in the middle.
It was broken off diagonally from the base; a large chunk of the blade was gone. The blade was almost entirely missing.
■ 9th Knife:
● First Appearance: Tier V Seeker ①
● Sacrifice:
Mr. Agaro’s Knife. A wide, long knife with a red blade.
● Cause of Demise:
The blade blurred doubly as Liv-san dashed forward.
As she swung down, I blocked with my knife.
A strong impact and pressure—at that moment, I felt a strange weight in the knife.
I sensed danger and tried to pull back, but my body wouldn’t move.
The blurring of the blade stopped abruptly.
“Crush Edge.”
The knife shattered.
● Resurrection:
A mysterious nano-machine capsule belonging to Liv.
The knife fragments and Unobtainium were put into it, and it became Agaro’s Knife Modified.
■ 10th Knife
● First Appearance: Arc Lab ④
● Sacrifice:
A crumbly knife found under a piece of wood.
● Cause of Demise:
What’s going on here? Well, I guess I have no choice but to believe it for now.
As I walked, I heard a baki baki sound of something being stepped on.
“What’s that?”
“What is it?”
I looked at my feet and saw a wooden board. It was a piece from a wooden box.
The rusty knife was under this piece of wood.
It was so worn out that it broke just from being stepped on.
■ 11th Knife
● First Appearance: Prelude ①
● Sacrifice:
Just an ordinary knife I picked up in a storage room of the church in the Innermost Area of the Grave of Death.
● Cause of Demise:
The Arc Lab barbecue party.
It was in the Innermost Area of the Grave of Death, but it was just a perfectly ordinary knife with nothing special about it. Alright. Let’s use it.
I cut the meat thickly, so it’s better to slice it thin. So, I’ll take a wide stance; the meat looks a bit tough too.
In that case, I’ll swing down with all my might.
“Wait! That meat has a bone in it—”
With a gagin sound, the blade bit hard into something solid.
As I pulled it out with force―――baki! The knife split diagonally.
■ 12th Knife
● First Appearance: Gentle Hydrangea ⑥ – Dog Search.
● Sacrifice:
Tanto with a vermillion sheath: Black lacquered hilt, straight blade. The hamon (blade pattern) was saka-chōji (inverted clove pattern).
Double-edged knife: Black semi-circular tsuba and a pure white hilt.
A double-edged blade with a metal ring on the pommel. Cut very well.
● Cause of Demise:
Surprised, I frantically swung the tanto at Alveld.
“[Crash].”
The tanto shatters.
While I was dumbfounded, Alveld was right in front of my eyes.
I reflexively slashed with the double-edged knife.
“[Crash].”
The double-edged knife shatters.
■ 13th Knife
● First Appearance: Tsukaeshi ⑨ – Training Begins.
● Sacrifice:
Goddess of Knives’ Amulet Knife: A beautiful knife like a pure white feather.
A commemorative gift for breaking 10 knives.
● Cause of Demise:
The Chimera’s eyeball is large. About the size of a baseball, maybe.
The knife melted during collection.
“…”
I had a bad feeling. I really did.
That’s why, when I tried to insert Lady Goddess of Knives’ Amulet Knife into the back of the eyeball and gouge it out.
A thick liquid oozed out from the gap with smoke and a sizzling sound, so when I pulled it out.
The knife’s blade was melting with smoke and a sizzling sound.
I hurriedly threw it away, and it melted completely.
■ 14th Knife
● First Appearance: Midnight Festival ③ – Final Battle.
● Sacrifice:
Agaro’s Knife Modified: A blade like a blue flame.
It rippled like an LCD panel.
Capable of cutting through phenomena and concepts.
● Cause of Demise:
Once I entered his range, he uncharacteristically swung [Sombre Gladius] carelessly.
The slash was a black vortex.
I blocked it with ‘Agaro’s Knife Modified’. Supah! The blade vanished.
“Eh?”
The tip had been erased, as if drawing an arc.
■ 15th Knife
● First Appearance: Midnight Festival ③ – Final Battle.
● Sacrifice:
Thick, square knife: When drawn, the hilt was curved, shaped like a nata (a type of machete or hatchet).
Housed in a leather sheath, drawing it revealed a pitch-black, square blade.
● Cause of Demise:
The second black vortex slash sacrificed the knife I had just bought.
■ 16th Knife
● First Appearance: Midnight Festival ③ – Final Battle.
● Sacrifice:
Silver, cross-shaped knife: Something found in a desert Dungeon.
● Cause of Demise:
The third swirling sword slash annihilated the silver, cross-shaped knife.
May they rest in peace.
