"According to Dal, in an even more ancient era, a kingdom called Ulashiro was struck by the Abyss, and the horrific entity known as the Master of the Abyss transformed all its inhabitants into Monsters."
"As a Wolf Knight, Artorias, along with his partner, a small wolf, voluntarily embarked on a journey to subdue the Abyss."
"His strength was formidable; he possessed the ability to walk through the Abyss and a silver necklace that could repel Abyss Spells, along with a Barrier Shield that protected him from corruption, making him the most suitable candidate."
"However, to protect the survivors, he gave his silver necklace to the Ulashiro survivors. Subsequently, Artorias sustained cumulative injuries in battle, leading him to face the Master of the Abyss in less than peak condition."
