Provided that Nightreign normally has deadlines, due to its encroaching storm, this sword’s energy would not usually have the possibility to snowball too far uncontrolled, regardless of being a robust weapon. However Mintius managed to get the best mixture of enemy and encounter spawns to scale it so far as it may possibly go, after which even additional.
Per Automaton’s translation, Mintius hunted mobs within the Wormface encounter for “about an hour” with the Marais Executioner Sword, to see what would occur.

Mintius is outwardly going to proceed testing the Marais Executioner Sword, to see what sort of limits and bounds exist on it, in addition to the unimaginable injury potential behind it. They apparently wish to strive doing a plunging assault on a Flame Chariot, simply to see what sort of injury numbers it may possibly put up. It will in all probability get wild.
