Longinus

**Longinus** (聖者殺しの槍(ロンギヌス), *Ronginusu*?) is one of the Twenty World Items of YGGDRASIL currently in possession by Alessia, the queen of the High Bureaucracy. It is also referred as the **Spear of Destiny** (運命の聖槍, *Unmei Yari*?, Lit. "Holy Spear of Fate") by Godric Gryffindor.

## Description

Longinus is an *World*-class Item once under the possession by Ainz Ooal Gown. One of their guild members suggested using Longinus on the Lord of Helheim during their raid on the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

Sometime after Ainz Ooal Gown captured and made the Great Tomb of Nazarick as their guild base, Alessia confronted the guild after multiple attempts by others and proven to been one of their greatest and toughest players they encounter, with Touch Me confirming that she likely an World Champion. However Touch Me noted her behaviours instilled that she has another goal in mind and was not there to defeat Ainz Ooal Gown. Unfortunately for Ainz Ooal Gown, it was too late when they realized she came after Longinus and successfully stolen it from them, retreating from the Tomb as guild members Luci★Fer and the Ancient One chased after her.

Longinus reappeared during the final month of the War of Midgard but held by one of Alessia's trusted individual who held a grudge against Cleatus Deletus. The two fight in the outer plains which resulted in the destruction of both of them when Longinus pierced Cleatus, resulting in character deletions for both players. Soon after Alessia herself was able to retrieve Longinus after her comrade's deletion.

In the New World, Alessia used Longinus in her final against the High Lands's princess, Ezra Hyland, which ultimately lead to the death and removal of Ezra from existence. That was the only time Longinus was used in battle as Alessia confirmed her levels was taken and will take sometime to restore. She also believed if she used it a second time, more levels is taken and so much more time is needed to recover. To remove this setback, she was able to alter the Spear with the Philosopher's Stone and instead take away the levels of the wielder. Depending on the target, it can take from anywhere to 5 levels to even higher being taken.

## Appearance

Longinus takes a form of a blueish lance with intricate and complex designs.

## Abilities

The World Item, Longinus enables the user to pick whichever target to delete or remove from existence. However, it came with a cost where the user must pay the same price like the target as they had to also delete oneself. After having the character's data deleted by this World Item, unless another World Item was used for revival, there was no other way to come back alive. However upon being transported to the New World and her encounter with Brokkr and Eitri, she was able to alter its core mechanics by having linked individuals be deleted instead of herself, though she explained not any prisoner can be simply linked, requiring an additional requirement to do so, as well the fact only a single one can be linked at any given time, requiring strategic use as she can only use it once, at last it will erase her as well on the second use.

In other words, it was impossible to restore the data of anyone deleted by that World Item if one did not use the resurrection powers of other World Items. Neither Cash Items nor resurrection spells would effectively work. In case someone were to use Longinus on a Custom NPC, it would even reduce the maximum levels of NPCs created, the special feature of a guild base.

## Trivia

* According to Christian lore, the Spear of Longinus was used to stab Jesus Christ and was drenched with his blood. This name was taken from the Roman centurion, who thrust the spear into Christ's side at the crucifixion.
* Suzuki Satoru believes the Elder Coffin Dragon Lord's [Soulbreaker Breath] is comparable to Longinus.
