Blessed Blade



The Blessed Blade or Bless Blade (Japanese: 祝福の剣ブレス・ブレード Romaji: buresu burēdo) is a magical sword that was discovered within the Holy Tree Flagoon. The origin of the sword is unknown; it may have been left there by the Swordsman of Light, or created by the tree itself.

When fighting mazoku, the Blessed Blade helps its wielder employ a lesser-known tactic for hurting demons: giving their strikes a spiritual charge. Conventional weapons are typically useless against astral beings, but if the wielder displays a strong will towards harming their opponent and channels it into the blade the moment it makes contact, the blow can still deal damage to the mazoku, assuming that the wielder's will overpowers the demon's. The Blessed Blade, having the effect of amplifying the user's will, makes such a feat much easier to accomplish. How deadly the weapon is against humans or other physical beings has never been demonstrated.

The Blessed Blade used to be on display at a shrine in Sairaag, but Sylphiel Nels Lahda stole it as a prank when she was young. Seeing the reactions of the elders, she was then too afraid to confess to the crime and return it. She hid the sword in the caverns around Flagoon's roots, where it remained for many years. Sylphiel later retrieved the sword so that Lina could use it against Copy Rezo.

The sword has a strong connection to Flagoon; when Copy Rezo damaged the tree, the Blessed Blade cracked as well. It is presumed to have broken when Flagoon was destroyed.
