Swords of Darkness

Swords of Darkness (漆黒の剣) was a Silver ranked adventurer group of E-Rantel.

Background
The group's name was based on its dream of collecting the Swords of Darkness, heroic weapons that were used by the Dark Hero. The members are extremely close, having braved many near-death situations together. Each member carried a black shortsword with four small jewels embedded in the hilt. These swords represented the team's symbol and determination to make their dream come true.

The Dark Warrior Arc
While Momon is attempting to procure a job from the Adventurer's Guild, the Swords of Darkness sees him and offers the same monster extermination job they were given. However, when the herbalist's grandson Nfirea comes to make a direct request of Momon, the group suggests for him to take that job instead. However, Momon stated that as he had promised to accompany them already, he should reject Nfirea's request. In the end, a compromise is made as Nfirea agrees to take both parties as his bodyguard.

As they travel to Carne Village, the party is attacked by a large group of goblins and ogres. A battle plan is made quickly: while the Swords of Darkness pick off the goblins, Ainz and Nabe would eliminate the ogres. As the fight proceeds, the adventurer group quickly realize that their companions are no mere adventurers, with Momon being able to slice an ogre in half. They look upon the two with awe, comparing their strength to the heroes of legend.

The journey proceeds smoothly after the encounter, but things are amiss as Carne Village is more fortified than usual. Sensing that something is wrong, the party advances cautiously but is ambushed by a large group of goblins, stronger than before. No fight breaks out however, as the goblins tell them that they don't want to fight. In fact, it turns out that they are protecting the village under Enri Emmot's orders.

After completing the request, the Swords of Darkness leave with Nifrea to his grandmother's house to collect the reward. However, a sinister presence is already there, waiting for them. The group is crushed at the hands of Clementine and Khajiit as they attempt to buy time for Ninya and Nifrea to escape. The members are utterly humiliated as Dine, Lukeluther, and Peter are turned into zombies while Ninya is tortured to death.

The Swords of Darkness were avenged by Momon when he crushed Clementine to death in their one-sided confrontation at the E-Rantel Cemetery. Ainz taunted her about taking time of brutally torturing Ninya so he'll do the same for Clementine.

Strength
The Swords of Darkness was a balanced adventurer party, consisting of a warrior, ranger, magic caster, and druid.
