Spear of Purity

> "Didn't I tell you? That the Spear of Purity is dangerous enough to threaten the world." - Luxuria (Chapter 225)

Seol Jihu's primary weapon. The Spear of Purity is a long lost, sacred artifact and divine spear created by the Goddess of Chastity, Castitas and bestowed to the founding patriarch of the Rothschear house, for faithfully serving her, and was acquired by Seol Jihu on an expedition to the Pagoda of Dreams, following Flone's guidance.

## Appearance

The weapon is described to be a transparent-white spear of extremely long length and exceedingly beautiful, with a fifty centimeter long spearhead that emits a noble and solemn light, a willow branch-like shaft that surpassed two metres and forty centimetres, and two crescent-shaped blades attached to the base of the spearhead. Furthermore, grooved along the upper shaft, are seven circular gaps. It was also said to seem as if it was carved out of ice, and resembled the twin crescent-bladed *ji* halberd wielded by the historical warlord Lü Bu in the *Romance of the Three Kingdoms.*

## Description

The Spear of Purity also houses the Rainbow (also Elemental) Spirit known as Arcus, later known as Little Chick, a Phoenix that is considered one as the same with the weapon and is a partner to, and a guardian that oversees the actions of its wielder and master. Based upon its judgement, it may awaken and grant them access to up to seven powerful Authorities that are sealed within the spear. Without their acknowledgement, the spear would actively attempt to resist the user, making the weapon harder to use, such as forcibly straying the path of their thrust, strike or cut. Historically, the only the founding head of the Rothschear family were able to bring out the full power of the weapon, said to be 'God-slaying'.

(As of Chapter 225) Unlocking just one power would give Seol Jihu strength far beyond what he is capable of. Unlocking three powers would place Seol Jihu amongst the the top ten of humanity. Unlocking five powers would allow Seol Jihu to be able to crush a Parasite Army Commander. Unlocking seven would give him a chance to stand against a god.

Additionally, the Spear of Purity itself also possesses a degree of its own sentience apart from the Arcus Spirit. Furthermore, as it possesses divine power, the General Observation of Nine Eyes is incapable of evaluating it. Both the Righteous Heart mana cultivation technique and the Crescent Blade Spear Technique are techniques designed to be learnt in tandem with wielding the spear, with the latter being synonymous with the Authorities sealed in the weapon
