Cecilus Segmunt

==Summary==
Cecilus Segmunt is the first-ranked member among the Nine Divine Generals of the Vollachian Empire and Emperor Vincent Vollachia's sword. He's is widely considered to be the indisputably strongest person within the Empire, and is ranked among the five strongest people in the world, possessing martial skill said to be on par with the Sword Saint of Lugunica and the Admirer of Kararagi.
Cecilus was born in the Vollachian Empire as both the son of a Stargazer and as a Stargazer himself. Upon being born, his father Rowan Segmunt– whom in an attempt to produce a child that could reach the Heavenly Sword had already killed eight of his own children– pressed a blade to an infant Cecilus' neck, causing the child to giggle, and proving to Rowan that Cecilus was a success. Despite being a Stargazer that received countless commandments from the Observers for as long as he could remember, Cecilus did not listen to them at all and was unaffected by their power, instead viewing them as an audience for his leading role as the Star Actor of the world.
Even from childhood Cecilus was a transcendent being beyond normal living things. He was born unconsciously exercising the Flow Method to improve his body's abilities with Mana, and possessed such talent for swordsmanship that his skill as a small child had already far surpassed that of his father's, and of most people's in the world. In his youth he was discovered by a young Vincent Abellux, who upon seeing his power immediately had him join his bid for the Imperial Throne of Vollachia, providing the future Emperor with greater combat strength in a single boy than the rest of the nation possessed in all it's soldiers– allowing Vincent to easily win the Imperial Selection.
Although Cecilus enjoyed his life, he never felt pushed in terms of power or skill, and stagnated– even with the second-ranked Divine General, Arakiya, constantly trying to kill him. This stagnation would end when another General's rebellion during a diplomatic meeting with Lugunica allowed Cecilus to cross swords with the Sword Saint, Reinhard van Astrea. Cecilus, lacking any knowledge of the knight's identity, would fail to go all-out and was immediately defeated with a single strike from the weakened Sword Saint. Both upset by his loss and hoping to show Reinhard that he wasn't alone as the strongest, Cecilus would illegally cross the border to challenge Reinhard, allowing an official diplomatic match to be set up which supposedly ended in a draw.

If there had been more of them, he could easily have cut his way through an entire town, the entire capital, an entire country. Even while in the process of being cursed to die, showed neither fear nor pain on his face. He continued to fight with a smile even after half of his body was charred black by fire. He was able to operate without issue after having his leg blown off. He showed no signs of pain even when cursed thorns were piercing his heart. Continued to fight with a wound so deep that his heart was nearly exposed)
Range: Tens of Kilometers≈20 Kilometers (Easily sliced apart the clouds overhead while sitting on the ground)
Standard Equipment: 
*Murasame, The Fiend Sword: One of the most exceptional swords in his collection. It is his number one sword and an enchanted blade with a long and storied history. It is a sword which specializes in cutting the concept of anything's "Point"— the very essence of an object, phenomenon, or concept— which can be used to erase Curses, break Contracts, nullify attacks, sever Magic, and it even cut the "Point" of its own scent. Wielding Murasame requires compensation that can leave even the greatest of warriors feeling drained, and most people attempting to grasp it would outright perish. This sword is capable of cutting the very world itself. As an enchanted blade, it requires blood to satisfy it's hunger for violence, and must be used as a killing tool fairly often. It emits bloodlust even while sheathed.
*Masayume, The Dream Sword: One of the most exceptional swords in his collection. It is his number two sword and an enchanted blade with a long and storied history. It is a sword which eats away at it's wielder's soul with even a single swing. This sword is one that is sheathed within dreams, and therefore can be drawn at any time if dreamt. The Dream Sword has the ability to make the dreams of its wielder into reality, in exchange for the blade consuming the dreams and motivation of the wielder, making them forget what allowed them to hold the sword in the first place. As Cecilus' dreams and motivation can never run dry, he is Masayume's ideal master. Like Murasame, Masayume is permitted to cut things beyond the logic of the world. As an enchanted blade, it requires blood to satisfy it's hunger for violence, and must be used as a killing tool fairly often. It emits bloodlust even while sheathed.
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius

Cecilus is a monster in terms of combat, in his early teens, he single-handedly slaughtered an entire army that was sent to kill Vincent Vollachia. His swordsmanship is far beyond human limits, even as a child his skill was unfathomably superior to his own father's, who trained his entire life in an attempt to reach the Heavenly Sword, slayed numerous people, learned from many schools of martial arts, absorbed and combined their techniques, all in order to culminate an ultimate sword-flash– which Cecilus considers to be a flashy display with no actual usefulness.
By watching Al fight just a single time, he was able to correctly guess that he possessed an Authority and what that Authority does through sheer intuition, and his intuition also correctly informed him that killing too many Zombies would be a bad idea. He is a transcendant being that stands at the top of the Nine Divine Generals, and his skill stands upon the steps to the Heavenly Sword. As a child he single-handedly defeated every soldier in a Vollachian Fortress with just his bare-hands, all while ensuring he didn't kill anyone. Cecilus possesses a perfect memory– he never forgets a place or object he has seen before. He was also able to weave through a rain of invisible sniper-fire by sheer guesswork, and is said to possess the talent to reach Reid Astrea's level of skill.
Cecilus' brain possesses incredible processing power, he is constantly taking in information from his surroundings in order to grasp the location of everyone and everything nearby, and his analysis of physicality and behaviour allows him to accurately predict the location of everyone in the vicinity without focusing on them. His mastery of the Flow Method allows him to actively control each and every one of his senses, as well as accelerate his own thoughts in order to process the world in extreme slow-motion; such that in the middle of avoiding a flurry of deadly projectiles, he was able to mull over his feelings regarding the current battle, cause a second Cecilus to be born from his accelerated thoughts, conversate with the second Cecilus, and then battle with the second Cecilus to determine which will return to regular time as the true Cecilus. His mental processing even allowed him to, upon wielding a sword for the very first time, train with the blade for days upon days within his mind, swinging it hundreds of millions of times, all within a fraction of a second in reality, and then utilize the fruits of his efforts immediately in combat.
Cecilus completely wiped the floorAssassin Sisters Diary with Elsa Granhiert in single-combat, who has such incredible intuition that even with her senses cut off by Shamak, she was able to accurately aim at a target's vitals and avoid an attack that blew away the entire room she was in,Volume 11, Chapter 2 and her intuition also allowed her to counter or avoid any attack she has already seen, even if performed in great numbers. He is stated to have martial prowess that rivals Halibel and Reinhard van Astrea, and is described as Reinhard's equal.Volume 28, Chapter 2
His swordsmanship has also been compared to Wilhelm van Astrea's at his peak, who was able to surpass Theresia van Astrea, despite her flawless swordsmanship and battle instincts as the Sword Saint, which couldn't be surpassed in a lifetime nor eternity. Theresia's ability to intuitively grasp her opponents most vulnerable point, and see white rays of battle which she need only trace to inevitably kill her opponent, had no effect on Wilhelm, as his superior skill caused Theresia's predictive rays to be constantly severed.
|-|Oboreru IF=
After accepting the Purge King's offer and honing his skills for 3 years, Cecilus has surpassed himself and reached the point of being just a single step away from the Heavenly Sword, the very pinnacle that all warriors strive to reach, yet most never even place a single step upon the path towards it. His swordsmanship has reached Reinhard's level, who stands in a dimension all on his own, incomparable to even those who could surpass previous Sword Saints, who themselves stand at a level that cannot be reached in a lifetime or eternity of training.

Weaknesses: He never listens to people
Notable Attacks/Techniques: 
*The Flow Method: Cecilus was born naturally exercising the basis and pinnacle of martial arts; the Flow Method. This is a technique in which a warrior consciously uses the Mana within their Gate to amplify their physical abilities– strength, speed, senses, motor-functions, and more– achieving transcendant, superhuman characteristics.
*The Divine Miracle of Empty Sky: A sword technique Cecilus picked up from his father. By flicking his wrist with extreme speed, the force of his drawn blade rises into the sky and splits the clouds overhead. Cecilus described this cloud-cutting technique– which his father spent his life devising– as a mere flashy performance with no real usefulness whatsoever.
*The Star Actor's Stage: Cecilus utilizes his brain's extraordinary processing power and imagination in order to craft a theatre within his mind. He views his surroundings as a stage, others as supporting characters, and himself as the leading actor. Through this method, he maintains a mental note on the locations of everyone and everything within his vicinity, such that he can put on a fantastic show with the best use of supporting characters, props, and timing. He can also train himself within his own mind, living out days of hard work and performing hundreds of millions of practice swings all in a single instant of real time.
