Jug of Death

Jug of Death is a weapon in SINoALICE.

Weapon Story
The adventurers searched the ruins, where they discovered an exquisite jug. Next to it was a piece of parchment that read, "Here lies sealed the Jug of Death, a cursed and sacred treasure that ends the life of its holder." They took both it and the parchment to a merchant and sold them off for a hefty sum.

A man who'd heard rumors of the jug bought it on the spot. The butler to a noble family, he was engaged in an affair with his master's wife, and so he plotted to kill him. "I found this for an incredible bargain," he told the master of the house, who gleefully took it from his hands to display in his bedchamber. Yet the noble remained the very picture of health no matter how much time passed. Nothing seemed to threaten his wellbeing. Annoyed, the butler snuck out with the jug and returned it to the merchant.

Another man bought the jug next. A knight serving a provincial lord, he wished to visit divine punishment upon his master who so persecuted his subjects. Yet he could not bring himself to kill the man to whom he once devoted his sword. Only a natural death would do. He gave the jug as an offering to his lord, who gleefully took it from his hands to display in his parlor. Once again, this would-be victim remained in perfect health. Disappointed, the knight resigned his post and returned to the countryside.

After being passed through countless hands, the jug was returned to the original merchant. Having witnessed its failure so many times, he decided to keep it for himself. That night, his wife discovered his adulterous ways and sent him to the afterlife with a dagger between the ribs. How could the merchant have known of the mysterious, unsolved deaths visited upon the noble with the unchaste wife and the greedy provincial lord? Indeed, the Jug of Death's curse was as real as it was inscrutable.
