Chapter 45: Different paths
- So you think the sword is evil... – said a thoughtful Heishiro.
He and Maxi were sitting at the counter in a bar, near the Chinese harbor where they both had disembarked. They were talking to each other about their stories.
- No. I know it. – replied Maxi. – Soul Edge is the source of a horde of monsters which are devastating whole cities around the world. Do you really think a sword like that could be good?
- But...Emperor Ming and his men will use it against our country unless we find it first.
- We have to find it, but then we won't use it. We'll destroy it. What do you think?
- Do you have any idea how to do it? We don't even know where it could be.
- I'm heading to a temple's ruins in India with my crew, where Soul Edge was employed to create Astaroth and the other creatures.
- I'm going to Germany to investigate Siegfried. He's the last known wielder of Soul Edge. Maybe I can find him and he wants to help me.
- Then I guess we must part.
- I'm afraid so.
They stood up and shook hands.
- Good luck. – said Heishiro.
- The same to you.
Finally, the two men reunited their respective men and prepared to leave for their different destinations.
