After all, splitting one blade into two did not necessarily mean gaining two blades.
The same went for the Death Legion.
Dividing it in two meant it could no longer unleash its full strength.
Of course, whether a legion could display its strongest combat power also depended on the commander's ability.
If they were merely mediocre, even the finest blade could not achieve its ideal effect.
