Every warrior wanted to posses the power of the ancient sword. It granted supreme control over one’s enemies, essentially giving them the power of God to destroy or create anything effortlessly. The enchanting blade danced with sparkling diamond particles that hovered and gravitated around it like an air purifier capturing dust. It attracted many people to its power. Forces from near and far would descend on it like cannonballs through the iron sides of clipper ships. The arc of the covenant has to be in close proximity to the sword for its power to be activated. It is also known that a very specific 1993 silver Toyota Previa, with an enhanced body kit, must be used to transport the arc. In addition to accessing the sword from the blood fountain in which it resides, one must make the journey through the gate of the twin sphinx called “Monolo” and then defeat the final demon boss named “Badiolo.” The twin sphinxes stand guard with their glowing laser eyes, eliminating anyone who tries to pass them in an event very much inspired by a scene from the 1984 film “NeverEnding Story.”
