Synopsis

The chapter centers around a discussion about the protagonist's demonic sword, which is shown to be sentient and in pain. The protagonist explains that the sword enhances his strength by devouring enemies, but he feels a sense of humiliation and reliance on it. He explores the possibility of removing his ownership of the sword but finds it not feasible at the moment, and a possible death sentence. He also questions whether he is weaker than the sword and if his current strength comes from it.
