After freeing Kevin and Ries, Uchiha Madara led everyone out of the stronghold.
In Kevin's words, if this stronghold was called a courtyard, it seemed somewhat different from the world he had created before. Perhaps the stronghold in this world ought to be called a "garden" instead. After all, this place was filled with exquisite flowers, and the air was thick with their fragrance. The scent refreshed Madara and the others, and the place was very bright, unlike the dark Hermit's Courtyard Kevin had once created.
Within that garden, they could recover their strength and even purchase all kinds of sepith and weapons. Since Yeruudu's Blade could not harm the spirit beasts here, Madara bought a sword as well. The sword had an utterly unremarkable name—simply "greatsword"—but when Madara held it in his hand, he could sense an unusual spiritual power flowing through it.
"Perhaps this is the power of orbal magic. Everything in this world seems to follow the rules of orbal energy, so ordinary swords from outside cannot harm the spirit beasts. But within this world, even the most basic weapons can hurt the spirit beasts here," Kevin said.
