True Dragon Sword

History

Jaehwan obtains the True Dragon Sword on the eighty-fifth floor of the Tower of Nightmares. By the time he is the Tower's last active Walker, it is one of the pieces of inherited and acquired equipment that allow him to endure his decades-long fight with the Ice Dragon Velkisus. He entrusts the blade to the blacksmith J for maintenance while supplies from the lower floors dwindle. (Chapter 2)

Jaehwan later draws the True Dragon Sword alongside the Ice Dragon Sword when he confronts Beastrein. The two blades carry his spiritual power as he attacks the Tower's administrator, although Beastrein can stop the True Dragon Sword in one hand. Jaehwan still has it after entering Chaos, where he draws it from his Dimensional Bag during the hostage crisis involving Mino. The corpus does not identify a destruction scene or later owner; it simply recedes from use as Jaehwan's weapons and Stab evolve. (Chapters 5–9, 15)

Properties and use

The True Dragon Sword is a durable high-floor weapon associated with Jaehwan's conventional two-sword fighting before his later reliance on the evolving Ice Dragon Sword. It withstands prolonged use against Velkisus and can channel the sharp spiritual power gathered around Jaehwan's attacks. No named intrinsic effect, forging history, or independent intelligence is established in the supplied chapters. (Chapters 2, 9)

Its limits are shown by the scale of Jaehwan's opponents. The blade is useful against Tower monsters and in early Chaos, but it provides no decisive advantage against Beastrein, who catches it during Jaehwan's rapid assault. Later weapons and world-level techniques replace it in the narrative without a formal transfer or disposal. (Chapter 6)
