During the battle, there was one thing the Sword Saint couldn't figure out.
'Why did the previous Sword Saint die here?'
'If the Trial summons the three strongest corpses, then my presence among the three means I replaced the fourth-strongest person. The enemies he faced must have been weaker, not stronger. And against enemies of that caliber, even if he couldn't win… he shouldn't have perished here. If he was besieged by three people and wanted to escape, he should have had the strength to get away. He would have been severely injured, at worst. He definitely shouldn't have died.'
At least, he believed that if he truly wanted to flee, he wouldn't have died just like that.
But it was hard to say for sure what happened thousands of years ago.
Perhaps other powerful individuals had entered the Forgotten Realm and killed the previous Sword Saint.
The dust had settled, but now it seemed the previous Sword Saint hadn't died because he couldn't defeat the three opponents.
