Hilston Blade

The current head of the Blade family. Almost single handily took out Truedream's family. Can copy and use 5 abilities at once.

## Background

The only Elder and Head of the infamous Blade Family.

His backstory is revealed by Brock in Chapter 1256.

Hilston was originally an orphan, having lived a hard life struggling to survive until he was taken in by a mysterious man. This man pampered him and showed him kindness for 2 years until he one day kicked Hilston out. Hilston initially begs to be taken back but is instead between and kicked to the curb. The mysterious man then tell him to become stronger, to become a Blade he could use.

On day, when he sees the mysterious man having taken in a new boy, Hilston decides to kill the boy to prove his worth to the man. Upon presenting the boys corpse to the man, the man is pleased and welcomes Hilston once more. However, after a year, the man again kicks out Hilston replaces him. In doing so, Hilston find himself in a cycle of killing his replacement to again gain the favor of the man. This cycle continues until the man takes in an ability user. As Hilston is trying to kill him, he realizes he too has an ability. This begins the legacy of the Blade family ability to cope other ability users.

Eventually Hilston has a family and a son to pass his ability onto. Upon seeing the big, the mysterious man's attention is then focused on Hilston's son. Hilston, feeling jealousy, decides to utilize the ability Shiro now has to Transfer Minds. Hilstons lifespan is explained as each time he found a stronger Blade, he would take over their body and kill his old one, thus ensuring he would remain the strongest Blade.

A large man bulked with muscles on top of muscles. With each step he took into the sand, his feet would sink in, and there wasn't a bit of fear on his face.

A large muscular man with a scruffy grey beard and spiky grey hair. An armor set coloured in a black and gold trim, almost demonic looking in design. It looked impressive on his body, but each piece was at the Demon tier level.

## Personality

Chaotic Neutral. Likes to fight the strong, but responsible (skewed) as head of the Blade Family. Follows the family belief: "Train beyond the limits, for Humans have unlimited possibility and strength."

## Plot

Hilston first appeared when Jack Trudream decided to take his army, and take the Shadow Ability from the Blade family. He copied the abilities of five different Chained, and fought Trudream's entire army single-handedly. He wielded the Fire ability around him, the lightning and earth ability to attack, and use the Bree family ability to tame the Demon-Tier Beast. It is later revealed that he destroyed the majority of Dreamland, Trudream's home and base.

Hilston talked a bit with Vorden after coming back from military school, and decided to send him back to the temple as a teacher. Vorden later encountered Hilston when trying to escape the Blade island with the other kids. Hilston sent Vorden into the dungeon where he was given the same treatment as the Chained living there. He decided he would come out, and declare the Blade family as a factor in the Civil War while also finding Sil.

He found where Sil was located during the Demon-Tier Beast hunt, and killed the majority of forces waiting back at the base. He later joined the other in the hunt while making it clear that he would get the crystal. Duke called him crazy to which Hilston responded by killing him remarking about how he broke easier than a toy. Supreme Commander Oscar engaged with him with his Demon-Tier weapon, and was badly beaten. The others including Owen Graylash and other people around joined the fight against Hilston to which they were easily overpowered.

Quinn realizing their situation, called Arthur who was equally matched in raw speed, strength, and stamina. His MC Points were also matched with Hilston's. Even his shadow abilities were as strong as Hilston's combined powers. Hilston was eventually defeated with Arthur's blood weapon that could use the powers of all the thirteen vampire families. His Demon-Tier chest-piece broke, and he was forced to flee and regroup.

When the Dalki were attacking all the human-owned planets, Hilston and the Chained attacked the Cursed Ship. Hilston was in search of Sil, and ran into Peter disguised as Sil. He defeated Peter and engaged with the five-spiked Dalki, Slicer. Both were about equally matched, and the fighting brought the Cursed Ship down into Caladi.

There, Bonny and Void broadcasted the fight between Hilston and Slicer. Slicer with her regenerative abilities and strong body were matched with Hilston's almost infinite MC points, Demon-Tier armor, and 8+ level abilities. Hilston's Demon-Tier set allowed him to weaken Slicer significantly, and almost beat her. His injuries got the better of him, and he became severely wounded.

Sil then crushed his heart, killing him. However, Hilston took the ability of second life, so he came back to life. Sil proceeded to crush his skull, killing Hilston for the final and last time.

In chapter 1246, Pai reveals he had once overheard Hilston grumbling about trying to find a Blade capable of using a Soul Weapon. This shocks the group as they had originally believed Hilston wanted Sil due to his ability to copy 6 abilities.

Later his body is used to create lesser wight byPeter Chuck.

## Abilities & Equipment

### Copy

Hilston had the ability to copy the abilities and MC points of other people. He took the Chained (variety of the strongest ability users ever known and other rare ability users) to give him a wider range of abilities, and many MC points at his disposal. The effects probably disappear after 24 hours like the rest of the Blade Family.

### Qi

Hilston had managed to harness the power of Qi and use it in his attacks. He put himself and his family members in life-or-death situations to activate their Qi, and make their bodies stronger.

### Demon-Tier Armor

Hilston owns a set of full Demon-Tier Armor. The armor has a special set active skill called Disruptive Pulse which would freeze his enemies in place or stop their abilities. It is immensely powerful, and only a few people can resist it.

## Trivia

* Hilston is actually the biological father of all the other Blade family members
* He can tame the Demon-Tier dragon underneath the Stone Tablet
* Even he was said to struggle while fighting Demon-Tier beasts.
* Given Hilston's possession of the Chained with Shiro's current ability, Mind Transference, Sil being able to wield 6 abilities and a Soul Weapon would have made him the most likely candidate of Hilston's next takeover.
