No, the adventurer’s guild doesn’t assign names, the members of Swords of Darkness chose that name themselves. The name is meant to represent their goal of obtaining the legendary swords that were once wielded by the Thirteen Heroes.

Everyone’s suspicious gaze softens when they heard it was related to religion. Maybe religion is a complicated matter in this world. Ainz offered thanks to the gods he didn’t believe in for successfully fudging it. To change the topic, he asked Peter: “You call yourself the ‘Swords of Darkness’, but it seems none of you are using one?”

As for the main weapon of the members, Peter used a normal magically enchanted longsword, Lukeluther used a bow, Dyne used a mace and Ninya had a staff. No one wielded a black sword. Peter’s main and Lukeluther’s support-weapons were swords, but their color was anything but ‘darkness’’. There was a technique that changed the color of metal by applying a special powder, so it wasn’t hard to forge a black-colored sword. Or rather, it seemed unnatural that nobody used a black sword.

“Ah, it’s that question.” Lukeluther smiled sheepishly, the smile of someone digging up his shameful past. Especially Ninya whose face turned bright red, different from the reflection of the camp fire. “That was the sword Ninya was after.”

“Don’t bring it up, I was young back then.”

“There’s nothing to be ashamed of! Having a grand dream is important!”

“Spare me Dyne, seriously.”

The Swords of Darkness group laughed heartily as they mocked Ninya who felt embarrassed enough that he wanted to find a hole and hide in it. The name ‘Swords of Darkness’ seemed to be an inside secret among members. “The ‘Swords of Darkness’ were the swords owned by one of the legendary ‘Thirteen Heroes’.” - Volume 2 2
