Character Background
“ Combining magic with Blade Dance. By bringing together these once called heretic acts, I will bring justice. ”
The Empire combined the various martial arts and sword techniques over a long time and developed the ultimate sword technique.
It was called the Blade Dance. However, it's been a long tradition for Empire swordsmen to Unsheathe the Sword to declare their will to fight.
However, the Blade Dance was a type of technique where you quickly draw your sword to suppress the enemy.
Because of this, the common swordsman regarded Blade Dance as a heresy and nobody wanted to learn it.
Since then, Blade Dance was only passed down by a few nobles and it was largely considered a forbidden technique and it seemed as though Blade Dance disappeared from the world.
At least until the Sword Masters appeared.
The Sword Masters used the Blade Dance technique to create a new type of powerful technique.
They imbued the sword with magical energy from the evil hand or transformed the sword entirely into a magical sword.
The Empire contemplated whether to accept or forbid this beautiful but dangerous technique. If they accepted it, they might be able to expand their territory, but they realized that this same technique may be a threat to the empire in the future.
The Empire's decision was what was expected of them. 'Only people from the Empire are allowed to learn the 'Blade Dance'.
If any other groups are found using this technique, they will be considered traitors and will be immediately executed'.
“Flamberge.”
The unquenchable magical flame quickly flustered the cold cheeks.
She released her hand that was tightly grasping the hilt of Flamberge, and instead focused the energy of the evil hand to the protective gear.
The magic sword of flames floated by her, as if it awaited her orders.
“Galatine.”
A sharp but beautiful sword, an accumulation of frigid chill, revealed itself.
For efficient use of magic she had to refrain from using multiple elemental swords at once,
But what she aimed for was far beyond such levels.
“Stormbringer. Balisada.”
At her will the summoned ‘Stormbringer’ and ‘Balisada’ began roaming around her.
She looked down at the protective gear on her arm.
Perhaps thanks to its improved performance it was easier to control the magic despite the swords’ fiercer energy.
She focused again. Here is where it began for real.
“Laevateinn.”
The four elemental swords merged and took the form of the ultimate magic sword Laevateinn.
The pinnacle of all magic swords.
As if it boasted her strengthened magical prowess, it was of greater size than before
And from its blade overflowed with magic from the evil hand.
She carefully grasped the hilt of the strengthened Laevateinn.
Despite its almost doubled size, the stronger pledge and flow of magic made it lighter than feathers.
Taking a deep breath she imagined a point in space that she had to cleave.
And with a swing of all her strength the magical energy surrounding the blade shot out. Like the first swordplay she had learned.
From the dimensional rift created by Laevateinn emerged magic swords that covered the night sky like stars.
Amongst them were Flamberge, Gellatin, Stormbringer and Balisada as well.
The swords lined themselves up like soldiers, and she knew they would charge at her will like an army waiting for a signal.
It was merely a practice, yet the tension of a real battlefield began engulfing her.
When she brought down Laevateinn, the force of magic swords rained down like a meteor shower.
A massive shockwave overwhelmed the empty field.
When the storm of magic had calmed itself, the field was in a shape that could hardly let anyone imagine how it was before.
She smiled at her achievement.
Her sight had never left the heart of the empire."
