He starts killing many people until he finds out he needs a weapon. He finds Hibiki Takane's father, a master blacksmith and orders him to make him a powerful, unbreakable sword. For eighty days, Hibiki's father wouldn't eat or sleep in order to create the blade. When he finishes it, he passes away.
