Revision as of 22:11, 27 November 2014
Ragnarok is one of the only known Demon Swords alive.
A Demon Sword is a dark weapon whose power is equivalent to that of a death scythe. A Demon Sword is created through the overhunting of human souls (possibly 99) and eating a witch's soul.
They are extraordinarily rare, and there is currently only one in existence, Ragnarok. Demon Swords are often affiliated to the responsibility behind the birth of Kishins.
History
Demon Swords first emerged during The Grim Times, when Meisters first began breaking the sacred rule of not feeding innocent human souls to their weapons. The first Meisters responsible were those who initially worked together under Death to maintain peace and order in the world (these Meisters were those besides the Eight Powerful Warriors). However, constant battles and bloodshed left these Meisters frightened and broken, sparking the fear of death above all else, and a number took to the overhunting of human souls for more power. Very few of these Meisters and Weapons lived much longer after the creation of their Dark Weapons and Demon Swords, presumably dying at the hand of the Meisters and Weapons who had chosen not to follow the path of the Kishin. The Demon Sword Ragnarok, is possibly the only survivor.
