Volume 1, Chapter 91 - Soul Pattern

Translator: Sigma

The Sakura Parasol flew up and hovered above her head to shelter her from the rain; despite the fact that she was already soaking wet from the battle prior.

“Master, the patterns on the so-called Cursed Katana took shape by utilizing the runes created from your own resentful thoughts or fixations. Those patterns are called the Soul Patterns. And precisely because of that, they are called the Demon Sword!”

“Soul Pattern?” Lily’s heart skipped a beat when she heard the term.

“The patterns on all the famous swords possessed some degree of Spirit Power. And Soul Pattern is considered one of the legendary sword patterns. Its ancient name in the language of the swords was the Soul Devouring Pattern. It means to bestow the sword with the ability to absorb and devour the soul. And more importantly, to stabilize the Anima Power absorbed by the sword. It can be called the spirit or the soul of the sword!” VịSit no(v)3lb/!n(.)com for new novels

Sakura continued, “Only a sword with Soul Patterns can permanently preserve the Anima Power. They will continue to accumulate unless they are consumed in battles. Moreover, Soul Patterns can absorb the essence of the animas separately. Those essences will be used to refine and strengthen the blade, gradually increasing the base power of the sword! When a Blade Maiden fights, there would always be an excess of soul essence, it would be a waste to not make use of them at all.”

In this dangerous otherworld, a life-threatening battle could take place at any time. There was no way people would wait for you to kill some demons to activate the Spirit Tempering skills before the fight, right?

It would seem that if Lily wanted to set off and investigate the secret that put senior sister into a deep slumber, she would eventually have to forge a Cursed Katana that exclusively belonged to her! That was how she could exhibit her full power and travel to a farther, more dangerous land.

But there’s no way a Grade-Three tamahagane and grandmaster blacksmith would be that easy to find right? Those things were beyond what Lily could hope for at the moment.

‘Let’s put that off for some other time and continue the search for Nanako’s whereabouts.’

Lily propped the parasol and continued diving deeper into the mountain.

While walking under the rain, Lily suddenly wondered why she was born a Blade Maiden. A Blade Maiden required strong resentment or fixation, but she was clearly lacking in the resentment department. Then... was it due to her fixation?

If that was the case, then it must be due to the deep affection she harbored for senior sister.
