## Overview

The sword was forged by Nargol, who has the ability to craft weapons of destruction. It is one of Nargol's Four Supreme Treasures. The Demonic Sword of Venous Blood contains the flames of Nargol that was meant to control the Chaos Grail's Sea of Chaos to create the earth.

This demonic sword is a two-handed great sword with a black sword blade and a red pattern. The red pattern squirms, it was like it was alive. The demon sword catches black flames and makes red patterns wriggle like blood. This demonic sword is the strongest weapon in the world. It was nearly three meters when Modus handed the sword to Kuroki. However it changed size for Kuroki, and eventually it was a little longer than a meter. Kuroki says it is different from a Shinai. Kuroki previously held a Japanese sword, but felt it was similar.

**Evileye** (イビルアイ, *Ibiruai*?) is a fiend.

## Overview

Evileyes are Nargol's kin group.

There are evileyes roaming in the second floor of Lavuruntos labyrinth. There are evileyes on the second floor of the underground palace of Kutar.

## Physical Attributes

Evileye is a fiend with huge eyes with optic nerve-like tentacles.

The light from the huge eyes paralyses, charms, or petrifies the subject. Then it uses its tentacles to entwine the immobile prey, capture them and drain their vitality. It is dangerous to ordinary humans. Evileye is highly resistant to magic.

## History

Shizufe warns the Hero of Light's Party about the existence of blemmyes and evileyes. They encountered an evileye, Sahoko used defence magic to protect the Beautiful Maiden Party. Chiyuki destroy the evileye with her burst bullet magic.

Kuroki kills the evileyes as he progresses through the underground palace of Kutar. Heibos is puzzled with it spawning, he thought the underground palace was wiped out clean. The evileyes are much larger than the regular ones. There are no evileyes on the third floor.

## Etymology

The **evil eye** (イビルアイ, *Ibiruai*?) is a look that is believed by many cultures to be able to cause injury or bad luck for the person at whom it is directed for reasons of envy or dislike.

Evil Eye, also known as **EYE**, is a recurring enemy in the *Final Fantasy* series. In the original Japanese version, the Evil Eye (and Death Eye) greatly resembled a Beholder from *Dungeons & Dragons*, and was even called Beholder. Outside of Japan, and for remakes in all regions, the design and name was severely changed, likely due to copyright concerns (as, unlike much of the D&D bestiary, the Beholder is an original creation of the *Dungeons & Dragons* team and is an infamously guarded part of the intellectual property, being something of a mascot monster). The original graphic of the Beholder was kept for the player icon of it in Dissidia Final Fantasy, in all versions.

The **Heyedra** (あくまのめだま, *Akumanomedama*?, originally localised as an **Evil Eye**) is a monster appearing in the *Dragon Quest* series.

Evil Eye is an enemy in *Dragon's Dogma*.

## Development

The description of the Evileye resembles the **Beholder** (ビホルダー, *Bihorudā*?), a fictional monster in the *Dungeons & Dragons* fantasy role-playing game. Its appearance is that of a floating orb of flesh with a large mouth, single central eye, and many smaller eyestalks on top with powerful magical abilities.

**Arachne** (アラクネー, *Arakunē*?, Ancient Greek: ᾰ̓ρᾰ́χνη, romanized: arákhnē, lit. 'spider', cognate with Latin araneus) is the protagonist of a tale in Greco-Roman mythology known primarily from the version told by the Roman poet Ovid (43 BCE–17 CE), which is the earliest extant source for the story. In Book Six of his epic poem *Metamorphoses*, Ovid recounts how the talented mortal Arachne, daughter of Idmon, challenged Minerva, goddess of wisdom and crafts, to a weaving contest. When Minerva could find no flaws in the tapestry Arachne had woven for the contest, the goddess became enraged and beat the girl with her shuttle. After Arachne hanged herself out of shame, she was transformed into a spider. The myth both provides an aetiology of spiders' web-spinning abilities and is a cautionary tale warning mortals not to place themselves on an equal level with the gods.

It looks dull, but it's pretty fast considering it is running at the same speed as the Chariots Corps.

## History

Nerfiti rode an Ammit called **Ammu** (アム?).

## Etymology

**Ammit** (アメミット, *Amemitto*?) was a demoness and goddess in ancient Egyptian religion with a body that was part lion, hippopotamus, and crocodile—the three largest "man-eating" animals known to ancient Egyptians. A funerary deity, her titles included "Devourer of the Dead", "Eater of Hearts", and "Great of Death". Ammit lived near the scales of justice in Duat, the Egyptian underworld. In the Hall of Two Truths, Anubis weighed the heart of a person against the feather of Ma'at, the goddess of truth, which was depicted as an ostrich feather (the feather was often pictured in Ma'at's headdress). If the heart was judged to be not pure, Ammit would devour it, and the person undergoing judgment was not allowed to continue their voyage towards Osiris and immortality. Once Ammit swallowed the heart, the soul was believed to become restless forever; this was called "to die a second time". Ammit was also sometimes said to stand by a lake of fire. In some traditions, the unworthy hearts were cast into the fiery lake to be destroyed. Some scholars believe Ammit and the lake represent the same concept of destruction.

Ammit was not worshipped; instead, she embodied all that the Egyptians feared, threatening to bind them to eternal restlessness if they did not follow the principle of Ma'at.

Alraune

**Alraune: Bewitching Flower Maiden** (妖花乙女アルラウネ, *Yōka otomeAruraune*?) is a magical plant creature.

## Overview

Alraune is said to have been born from the blood of a male god that was executed long ago.

## History

Kuroki and Kuna made a sorcery barrier to call upon them. They were sucking the miasmas out of Motgal.

## Etymology

The basis of the story of **Alraune** (アルラウネ, *Aruraune*?) dates to the Middle Ages in Germany. The humanoid-shaped Mandrake root or *Mandragora officinarum* was widely believed to be produced by the semen of hanged men under the gallows. Alchemists claimed that hanged men ejaculated after their necks were broken and that the earth absorbed their final "strengths". In some versions, it is blood instead of semen. The root itself was used in love philtres and potions while its fruit was supposed to facilitate pregnancy. Witches who "made love" to the Mandrake root were said to produce offspring that had no feelings of real love and had no soul.

## Development

The author wondered where to put Alraune and decided to make it into magic. Alraune seems to be the same as Mandrake, but the author decided to make them separately in this world. In Alraune, the pistil of the flower becomes a woman. In Mandrake, the root is a person.
