While gravelording, a Darkwraith invaded my world. He backstabbed me with lag and killed me with a lightning weapon to my low level Gravelord in the... area i was in. Well, I then met him once again as a white phantom, as I needed Humanity, and an easy way is to help others with their thing. Well after that, I met him again, except he was a Spirit of vengeance (which means I infected him. He made the comment after the second time he killed me that we shouldn't run into each other like this. Well, I made a deal that we go 2 vs 2 against the Spirits of Vengeance, if he invades my world as a red phantom. 5 minutes later, he invades as such. So we wait, and this time I have someone to hang out with while waiting (an hour max with him). We killed one spirit of Vengeance, while the other warped out before combat (he didn't like the idea). Well, he told me that since we couldn't kill anything as a Gravelord, why not just finish the map. I said sure. He had to kill me for a quick draw, so he did (I allowed him that time). Well, when I summoned him as a White Phantom, he dropped some items as a tribute for his... inconvinence and such. He gave me a lot of spare weapons... and one of them I did not know was something I would fall in love with.
He gave me the Man-Serpent Sword. And Man... I thought it would be like that shitty Demon machete. I was wrong. Not only was it strong, but it was fast. Real Fast. Since the strength requirements for it were the same as the Gravelord sword, it was easy to use bot 1H and 2h. However, I started to never use a shield in many circumstances, because that sword doesn't need one. It's fat, it has a good stability and physical reduction, its move-sets are awesome, it is just so... beautiful. it's like a Demon Great Machete had screwed with a Katana. It was fantastic. It probably will be now my No.1 Weapon with my DGH when it comes to combat. I'll just use the Gravelord Sword if neither can be in play (which is highly unlikely. Bye sword).
