Here it comes. Watch out!

W-whoa! This is ridiculous!

Even its wings are
made of swords!

This is it!

...Is it over?

Did we do it?!

Looks like the system's
completely shut down.

This blastia can absorb
skills from weapons.

It must have been giving
those skills to the sword.

Then, the blastia absorbed skills
from all the weapons here?

Gettin' loads of weapons with
these kinda skills ain't easy.

Whoever was tryin' to get all those
skills inta one sword musta really
wanted one hell of a sword.

You mean, kind of
like Dein Nomos?

It sounds like something
Alexei would do.

He did end up making
a kind of Dein Nomos
imitation, after all.

It's not beyond reason
that this was also a part
of that experiment.

Then...was Alexei the one
who stole this sword?

Who knows?
We'll never know
for sure now.

Even if it wasn't Alexei,
whoever made this was
definitely up to no good.

There. Now the blastia
won't activate again.

I've removed all the skills
it collected, too.

Aw, I wanted to see
the ultimate sword.

No way! That sword's
creepin' me out!

I mean, that's no ordinary sword
even on its own, ya know?

Yes. I can feel how
threatening it could be
just by holding it.

Anyway, the sword is fine now,
and it's in our possession. Are
you sure you don't want it?

While fighting to get the sword
back, I kept wondering.
What exactly is a true knight?

I haven't found the answer yet,
but this sword gave me the
chance to think about it.

That's more than
enough for me.

You're so generous,
despite your age.

Perhaps...

The sword's original creator
and all its previous masters
were testing you, Flynn.

Ooh, I like that.
It's kind of romantic.

How can you believe such
an unscientific theory?

...

But you know, if those twins did
quit the knights, wouldn't it be
bad to give the sword to them?

It belongs to the knights, right?

As long as we know where
the sword is, I don't think
it's a problem if they keep it.

Besides, I don't think you need
to be a member of the knights
to be a knight, in the truest
sense of the word.

I'm sure we can trust them.

Yeah. Let's hurry and
give it to them.
