It had been a long time since the sword in his hand had felt so heavy.
During the first year after he started wielding a sword, it had always felt heavy. Swinging around that solid chunk of metal just a few times made his arm muscles tremble, and the sharp pain between his thumb and index finger lingered all day.
Even a wooden sword used to feel heavy back then.
And now, this was many times worse than that.
Heavy.
It felt like dozens of iron weights were hanging from the blade.
If he so much as loosened his grip, the blade seemed like it would drop straight down and bury itself in the ground. The muscles in both arms trembled violently.
