Flaming Sword

**Flaming Sword**, also called the **Lightbringer**, is the personal divine sword carried by Lucifer himself, hence its name. This sword is immensely powerful, so much so that it is one of the most powerful weapons in all of creation. Being in the possession go Lucifer, this means that he is one of the only two archangels that has a weapon that is not an archangel blade, with his older brother Joshua being the only exception.

## Background

Eons ago, Lightbringer was created by God for Lucifer when he ascended into being a commander of one-third of the Heavenly Host. Due to being forged with the remaining finest of the divine gold, it reinforces Lucifer's authority and power even further, to the point where not even the Cherubim would dare challenge Lucifer and only the other archangels would challenge their brother and his new weapon, as well as being surpassed in eminence among angels only by his older and naturally stronger brother Joshua, who was armed with the Lance of Joshua, which is the only weapon who slightly exceeds Lightbringer in power, and Oracle's original angel swords and blades, being one of the only three weapons of heaven who could surpass Lucifer's new sword.

Upon the War in Heaven, Lucifer used this sword against numerous angels, all who were killed by Lucifer until Joshua arrives and armed with the Lance, due to it being the only weapon who could match Lightbringer, which was used by Lucifer, as Raphael was busy fighting other Angels and therefore unable to fight Lucifer and use his original angel blades to defeat Lucifer, as well as Joshua being the only angel who could overpower Lucifer.

Lucifer used Lightbringer's full power against Joshua's equally powerful weapon, but ultimately after a great battle, Joshua's superior skills and power combined with Lightbringer being matched with the Lance of Joshua gave him an edge. Ultimately, Joshua defeated and cast down Lucifer but not before he took hold of Lightbringer and broke the formerly mighty weapon of god into 2 halves to prevent Lucifer from using it again. However, upon the failure of the second rebellion, Lucifer's forces were able to find the location of both pieces and fix it.

## Characteristics

Lightbringer is a large longsword that is fully covered by divine fire. It has Enochian runes written on it, which roughly translate to, "*I, Lucifer, the Morningstar, will bring fiery light down upon my enemies without fear*."

## Powers

Lightbringer is powerful enough to kill humans, monsters, witches, pagans, fairies, demons, angels, and even archangels. While already an extremely powerful divine weapon, God would later increase it's holiness and power to the point where it is now powerful enough to be used against a Primordial Being and was so powerful it even harmed Amara.

* **Immense Power:** As the symbol of power of the most favored archangel of all, Lightbringer is an immensely powerful divine weapon, surpassing the Bow of the Greatest Messenger, and the Archangel Blades. The Sword has almost equal power to the Lance of Joshua, allowing Lucifer to contend with Joshua before being defeated. It has such power that it could easily kill anything lesser than an archangel and even kill Archangels.
	+ **Dark/Light Blasts:** By aiming the sword at a target, Lucifer can send out projectiles of dark energy that could easily shatter concrete and cleanly hit and injure the likes of Joshua. It's later revealed the sword was once able to emit holy blasts, but Lucifer's fall made it dark. Upon God restoring Lucifer's status and amplified Lightbringer, the blasts became blue again and they are powerful enough to harm Amara herself.
	+ **Dark/Holy Barriers:** The Sword is able to erect a powerful barrier made of dark energy that could block holy magic attacks from Magicians and even Angels and even reflect them back with ease. However, the shield cannot block attacks from Joshua, as he easily penetrated it. Upon God redeeming Lucifer and upgrading the sword, Lightbringer became able to emit blue energy barriers made of holy energy that are powerful enough to block attacks from even Amara.
	+ **Extreme Sharpness:** Lightbringer is one of the sharpest swords in existence, said to be sharp enough to pierce through stone and armor. It was said to have damaged Joshua's wings during the Rebellion.

## Weaknesses

* **Lance of Joshua:** Due to being slightly weaker than the Lance of Joshua, Lucifer's sword cannot penetrate the Lance of Joshua direct combat and while Lightbringer is powerful enough to block most of its attacks, it could still potentially destroy the sword, as when Joshua disarmed Lucifer in their battle, by channeling his divine energies to empower the Lance, it proved able to easily break the sword into 2 pieces.
