Dungeon My Knife:
These are the knives that perished between Season 1 and the first half of Season 5.
■ Knife No. 1
● First appearance: Wof, 13 Years Old ⑤
● Demise:
My very first knife.
Cheap, but I'd sharpened it myself and used it as a kitchen knife too.
● Cause of death:
I got distracted, and the knife snapped clean in two.
Part of the leather armor I was struggling to remove had metal in it.
The blade caught on it at a weird angle, went ping, and that was that.
■ Knife No. 2
● First appearance: Ash Flower (3) · Holy Edge.
● Demise:
The knife I bought after the first one broke. It was similar to the previous one.
● Cause of death:
First, I pull the egg container out of my pouch.
I crack the contents over the blade.
The wet knife glitters and sparkles.
As a result, it couldn't cut anymore.
■Number 3
●First Appearance: The Silent One, Part 4
●Sacrifice:
A knife I splurged 20,000 oro on.
●Cause of Death:
Wof accidentally Banished it with the Relic [Banish].
■Number 4
●First Appearance: Crown of the Wonderland, Part 4
●Sacrifice:
A secondhand knife.
Simple construction, thick blade. A bit heavy. Sturdy.
●Cause of Death:
The enemy thrusts at me, but I stay calm and block with my knife.
When the blades meet — my knife's blade is severed.
"!"
No, that's wrong. I can tell. It wasn't severed. It vanished.
■Number 5
●First Appearance: The Reopened Junkyard, Part 3 — Bone-Extracting Brain-Marrow Shura Hunting Hand.
●Sacrifice:
A knife I found in the Junkyard. Some tribal knife from who-knows-where.
A large, curved black single-edged blade. A round sword guard. It looked something like the tsuba of a Japanese sword.
The handle was smooth white stone. The sheath was hard wood.
●Cause of death:
But when Raw Body A twisted and flexed its left arm, it turned the blade into a whip.
It swung downward as it charged. I stepped forward and caught it with the knife.
In that instant, the knife's blade melted.
■Sixth knife
●First appearance: Taskan Offering (2)
●Victim:
One of three I bought for 50,000 oro.
A simple knife. It was actually from the Standard Series.
●Cause of death
Pies raised its sword, and I caught it with the knife again — then let go instantly.
With a sizzle, the knife that had caught the blade clattered to the ground and I leaped back.
I just left the knife there and forgot about it.
■Seventh knife:
●First appearance: Cat and Dog ⑥
●Victim:
The second of the knives I bought for 50,000 oro. A weird knife with a single-edged blade that curved upward.
A little heavy, but thick and powerful.
●Cause of death:
Only the hand holding the knife had been frozen solid.
Wh-why!?
"Dammit, why only this one?!"
I cursed while using Banish. If I didn't hurry, I'd get frostbite.
The ice on my hand and the knife's handle vanished.
The blade dropped.
●Resurrection:
After that, Pakira found it and handed it to Wof.
It was reborn as a new double-edged knife.
■Eighth knife:
●First appearance: Grave of Death ④ — Yomido's Saturnus. Grave of Death ⑥ — Rest in Peace.
●Victim:
Elixir Knife. A knife coated in elixir, turned into an anti-undead specialty weapon.
●Cause of death:
During the fight against Saturnus, I used Silent Move.
The Elixir Knife had snapped. I'll say that again. The Elixir Knife had snapped.
The Elixir Knife I'd been gripping tightly was almost entirely missing its blade.
It wasn't a clean break in the middle — it had snapped clean off partway through.
It had broken off at a steep diagonal from the base. A huge chunk of the blade was just gone.
■ Knife #9:
●First appearance: Rank V Delver(1)
●Sacrifice:
Agaro's knife. A wide, long knife with a red blade.
●Cause of death:
The blade double-wobbled and Riv charged in.
She caught it with the knife while swinging down at the same time.
A powerful impact and pressure. At that moment, the knife felt strangely heavy.
I sensed danger and tried to pull back, but my body wouldn't move.
The blade's wobbling stopped dead.
"Crash Edge"
The knife shattered.
●Revival:
A mysterious nano-machine capsule from Riv's belongings.
The knife fragments and Unobtainium were loaded into it, and it became Agaro's Knife Mark II.
■ Knife #10
●First appearance: Arc Lab④
●Sacrifice:
A beat-up old knife found under some wood scraps.
●Cause of death:
What's going on with this? Well, I guess I have no choice but to trust it.
When I walked, there was a crunching sound of something breaking underfoot.
"What's that?"
"What is it?"
Looking down, there were wooden boards. Pieces from a wooden box.
The rusty knife that had been under these pieces of wood.
It was so worn that it snapped the moment I stepped on it.
■Eleventh knife
●First appearance: Prelude (1)
●Sacrifice:
A plain knife picked up from the storage room of the chapel at the deepest level of the Tomb of Death.
●Cause of death:
Yakiniku party at Arc Lab.
It was a completely ordinary knife found in the deepest part of the Tomb of Death, but there was nothing special about it. Alright. I'll use it.
Since the meat was thickly cut, I should thin it out. So I went for width, and the meat looked a bit tough too.
In that case, I'd bring it down in one go.
"Wait up, that meat's got a bone in it."
The blade sank hard into something with a grating crunch.
I pulled with all my strength at the same time as——crack, the knife split diagonally.
■ 12th Knife
●First Appearance: Hydrangea ⑥·Dog Search.
●Sacrifice:
Vermillion-sheathed short blade: straight sword with a black-lacquered handle. Blade pattern is inverted clove.
Double-edged knife: black half-moon guard and a pure white handle.
The double-edged blade had a metal ring attached to the pommel. Cuts well.
●Cause of Death:
Still stunned, I swung the short blade at Arveld in a blind panic.
"[Crash]"
The short blade shattered.
Before I could process it, Arveld was right in front of me.
I reflexively slashed with the double-edged knife.
"[Crash]"
The double-edged knife shattered.
■ 13th Knife
●First Appearance:
Retainer
⑨·Training Start.
●Sacrifice:
Charm knife from the goddess of knives: a beautiful knife like a pure white feather.
Souvenir from Breaking 10 Knives.
●Cause of death:
Chimera eyeballs are big. About the size of a baseball, maybe.
My knife melted when I tried to harvest one.
......
I had a bad feeling. I really did.
So when I tried to use the goddess of knives' charm knife to get behind the eyeball and gouge it out,
thick dissolving liquid oozed out from the gap with a hiss and a puff of smoke, so I pulled it out,
and the blade was dissolving, hissing and smoking.
I panicked and tossed it aside, and it dissolved completely.
■No. 14
●First appearance: Late-Night Festival (3), final battle.
●Sacrifice:
Modified Agaro's knife: a blade like blue flame.
Ripples run across it like an LCD screen.
It can cut through phenomena and concepts.
●Cause of death:
Once they got within range, they casually swung Sombre Gladius — so unlike them.
The slash was a swirling mass of black.
I blocked it with Modified Agaro's knife. The blade vanished in an instant.
"...
The tip vanished in an arc, erased clean.
15th knife
First appearance: Late-Night Festival 3 — Final Battle.
Sacrifice:
A thick, square knife: when drawn, the handle was warped into a hatchet-like shape.
It came in a leather sheath, and when drawn it had a pitch-black, square blade.
Cause of death:
The second black vortex slash claimed the knife he'd just bought.
16th knife
First appearance: Late-Night Festival 3 — Final Battle.
Sacrifice:
A silver, cross-shaped knife: something found in a desert dungeon.
Cause of death:
The third swirling sword slash obliterated the silver cross-shaped knife.
17th knife
First appearance: Avusdracdu Ruins 1.
Sacrifice:
A double-edged knife with a plain, straight handle: war spoils.
Cause of death:
Along the way, there was a broken door that looked like it was about to swing open. On closer inspection, it was warped.
I wedged 'a double-edged knife with a plain, straight handle' into the gap in the door.
After trying a few, this one was just the right thickness.
I gripped the knife's handle tightly and moved it.
With a snapping sound, the door came loose. It clattered to the ground.
Along with the knife's blade.
Clang, clatter — the broken blade fell.
#18
●First appearance: Our Journey: Preparation Arc 2 — The Way of Kaede Akima.
●Sacrifice:
A knife with a black blade
●Cause of death:
'The black-bladed knife' breaks. No — it was cut through by Kaede.
#19
●First appearance: Our Journey: Preparation Arc 2 — The Way of Kaede Akima.
●Sacrifice:
'A knife like a saw blade'
●Cause of death:
In a panic, I pulled out another... 'knife like a saw blade' and braced myself.
I deflected her slash. The serrated part of 'the knife like a saw blade' chipped off.
It snapped clean off from there. How anticlimactic.
■ Entry #20
●First Appearance: Our Journey: Preparation Arc (2) — Kaede Akima's Style.
●Victim:
'Sword Breaker'
●Cause of Death:
Her blade had completely tangled in the Sword Breaker's comb.
One twist and the blade would break. That was the mechanism.
"Shall we end it here? I'll break it."
A cheap threat. Not used to it.
Come to think of it, she's blindfolded — how is she seeing so accurately?
"...Not yet, not yet, Lord Wof. I haven't had enough fun yet. Besides, 'Oni Ichihōgen' is not the sort of"
demon
forged
weapon
"that breaks this easily."
Kaede's lips curled into a delighted smirk as she pulled her blade back.
It was clearly a suicidal move. But the moment she pulled back, it was the Sword Breaker that broke.
"—!"
The comb-like blade crumbled to pieces.
■ No. 21
●First Appearance: Our Journey: Travel Chapter (3) – Wof and the Spoils.
●Sacrificed:
A knife from the spoils.
●Cause of Destruction:
Layering it onto the first Sword Breaker.
Sliding the blade into the gap between the brush-like blades.
The gap was open just enough to catch the blades perfectly.
"Just like this, using the principle of leverage—"
Snap... the knife broke.
It broke with absurd ease.
■ Nos. 22–27
●First Appearance: Our Journey: Travel Chapter (3) – Wof and the Spoils.
●Sacrificed:
Five different knives from the spoils.
●Cause of Destruction:
Chipped blades, rust, or caked-on bloodstains — Banish.
And those coated in poison — also Banish.
■ Nos. 27–33
●First Appearance: Trading City Heizen ⑦ – The Truth Behind the Hideout, Revealed.
● Sacrifice:
Various river bandit loot knives.
● Cause of Death:
Sorting through the loot knives once again.
Every single one that was no good — Banish. About six of them, I think.
■ No. 34
● First Appearance: Full Moon Bazaar ⑥
● Sacrifice:
Elixir kukri knife.
● Cause of Death:
A scream that seemed to tear the night apart rang into the darkness.
At the same time, the Elixir kukri snapped with a sharp crack.
■ No. 35
● First Appearance: Forest Wave · Interlude (3) — Demon Straight Line.
● Sacrifice:
A large stone knife with a curved, axe-blade-like tip and a keen edge.
It was decorated with patterns reminiscent of Incan civilization.
● Cause of Death:
"—Demon Straight Line."
The drawn blade traced a line and cut clean through the mimic.
The knife I used at the same time.
'The big knife with a curved tip like an axe blade and a sharp edge' shatters.
The blade broke apart in spectacular fashion. Ahhhh.
■No. 36
●First appearance: Dungeon Rhapsody 20 · The Black Spider Woman.
●Sacrifice:
A heavily curved knife.
It had a sword guard, like a knife version of a saber.
●Cause of Death:
Attacked a Red Ant from behind. The blade snapped on the Red Ant's scales.
The heavily curved knife snapped clean in half. You've got to be kidding.
■No. 37
●First appearance: Dungeon Rhapsody 23 · Dungeon Core.
●Sacrifice:
The time knife.
●Cause of Death:
—The time knife's gone...
Come to think of it, after I stabbed that strange black body of the red mask... I don't remember ever retrieving it.
I left it behind. Forgot it somewhere nonsensical like "the end of the light of time."
■No. 38:
●First Appearance: Return Hydrangea ⑩ · Ballistic 6
●Sacrifice:
A jagged red knife that a villain would probably carry.
●Cause of Death:
The Knife Goddess fully extends her arm and thrusts hard.
From the semicircular indented part at the tip, something pale blue shoots straight out.
It hits my raised knife with tremendous speed.
"Whoa!?"
The force from the velocity is too much — the knife goes flying and stabs into the ground.
It snaps clean in half.
■39th
●First Appearance: Improvised Wolf Pack Ⅳ (3)
●Sacrifice: Blade of Truth
●Cause of Death:
Suddenly everyone rushes at me all at once. Why!?
I scramble to draw my knife. It's the one with the beautiful blade — what was it called again.
"Too slow!"
The man in front slashes with what is unmistakably a ninja sword, and my knife is cut cleanly in two.
■40th
●First Appearance: Improvised Wolf Pack Ⅳ (3)
●Lost Item: A brand-new simple knife
●Cause of Death:
Wha—!? I frantically grab the next knife. It's a brand-new simple knife.
"Still too slow!"
It gets cleanly cut once more, and I'm cornered.
May you rest in peace.
