You will need to follow a set path to get to the empty room in the NE corner on the initial floor. Following the set path will spawn enemies in that room. Kill them to get the weapon. The path is, head north through the eastern corridor in the room you start in. Head to the east room, then head north till you reach the intersection just prior to the empty room. Do NOT head to the empty room yet. Instead, head to the next intersection westward. Then head north, and then east, and the enemies should spawn.

Weapon History[]
Level 1
In ancient times, this black sword once belonged to a mighty king who built a
glorious empire. Under his wise and just rule, the empire thrived and
prospered, and knew no equal.
Level 2
But a ripened fruit can only rot. Spoilt by their wealth and prosperity, the
servants of the king began to swell with pride--and fell into corruption and
depravity.
Level 3
Powerless to cease the rot, the king's summoned a wicked god into the blade of
his sword. He then began to murder his treacherous vassals one after another.
Level 4
The god inside the blade reveled in the bloodbath. When only the king himself remained, the sword slew him as well, and the silver blade was dyed by the royal blood.
Level 1
Once, there lived two generals.
One possessed supreme bravery
and the other possessed supreme
intellect. The two men admired
each other and trained together
to become better soldiers, until
one day, their hearts were stolen
by this ancient sword, Kingsblood.
They fought to decide who should
own it.
Level 2
The battle for Kingsblood led to
war. The brave general fought using
what he called “ Iron Guard”
formation – a strategy dependent on
sheer effort and hardship. It had
served him well throughout his
glittering military career. The astute
general meanwhile, used strategies
never before seen in the battlefield.
No one knew who would prevail.
Level 3
The brave general’s direct approach
dominated at first, but as time
passed, the astute general’s ever-changing strategies began to turn
the battle to his favor. So the brave
general’s army held on with dogged
determination, and managed, at
length to cancel out the astute
general’s advantage.
The war had reached a stalemate.
Level 4
After the war, a villager visited the
battlefield and said: "They were
both great generals. If only their
talents had not been polarized...
If only they had possessed a
balance of might and intellect,
we would have been spared the
tragedies of war."
