Whether the heart is weak, or legs having no bending ability, is a challenge that they want to do. These characters are given conditions which make them what they are. They are referred to those who have reached the pole, to each type of weapon. Even if they are faced with the 'Ghost Demons', which intrudes their way of swordsmanship. These warriors train every day to completely fight off the 'Ghost Demon' from their arm and keep their mind focused only on the weapon they hold in their hand. These Slayers are called the Blade Master.
The Imperial Sword Master, at the age of his early 20's, went missing a decade ago in the Screaming Cavern. Many great Blade Masters, such as Aganzo, the Greatsword Master, Bahn, the Short Sword Master, Siran, the Katana Master, and Roxy, the Berserker, wandered into the cave to search for the Imperial Sword Master. The events that took place in the screaming Cavern are very grave to not only the legendary Sword Masters, but the great swordsman Aganzo as well, losing a loved one due to the Kazan Syndrome. He works hard to find treatments for the Kazan Syndrome, so that no true Swordsman has to suffer from Kazan's curse.
The Blade Master is a Slayer who continues his vigilant training in swordsmanship in spite of the demon's interference. He can wield the powerful Lightsabre or any of the other Slayer weapons to great effect. Each weapon has unique traits available only to the Blade Master. He may choose which weapon suits him best and even gain bonuses for switching between them in combat. He is commonly known for his ability to utilize combos, and some of his most recognizable skills are Charge Crash, Raging Dragon Slash, and Illusion Sword Dance.
- At level 50, the Blade Master awakens as a Grand Master. At level 75, the Grand Master awakens as an Omniblade.
- His subclass cosmetic effect is a white-colored arm that leaves a slight illusion effect behind it when it is moved.
- His 2nd Awakening cosmetic effect is a group of blue and white swords floating around him when idle and a white glow in his eyes.

Awakening as a Grand Master
To future warriors--
I was once but a common warrior, unremarkable in skill, unimpressive in wisdom and knowledge, hardly distinguished in the eyes of my peers. I was plagued with the base impulses of jealousy, shame and despair. My inner weakness allowed the demon in my arm to seep slowly into the rest of my body. There was nothing left for me other than to surrender myself to time, the one thing that begins, binds, and ends all men.
But I refused to accept this dismal fate. I believed with a fierce heart that one's potential could be unlocked if only by strength of will and purpose; that my great power could emerge if I committed myself to training; that hidden skills could be discovered and developed if I listened to my soul. It was with this rekindled thirst for life that I lifted myself from obscurity, took up my sword once again, and became the legendary warrior I am now.
Now, as I hear the death bell toll on my extraordinary life, I see that the only skill I ever needed was the one that resisted being ordinary.
I dreamt that I was dancing through the skies with my weapon, as if fate put us together in a tragically-timed waltz. I only thank the heavens for allowing me a dance with the sky. It was a beautiful dance.

Awakening as an Omniblade
"Is there an end to the path of the sword?"
A sudden question from his senior wavered his stance.
"Your stance is wavering just from my question, that's no good."
"Sorry, I just had an old thought cross my head. An end to the path of the sword.."
Yang Ur slurred the end of his speech and sheathed his sword.
As Yang Ur sheathed his sword, Soldoros called Claris.
"Did I ask a useless question? There really is no answer... as it is a level that even you have not reached."
"No. There is an answer. There are many swordsmen who have reached our level now and we may no longer be the best swordsman. A level that even we haven't reached; The path to the next level may open to someone out there."
"A foolish talk..."
"No, I can sense it. Although we have already attained high level of strength, there's so much more left for us to learn. We simply just can't see it."
"Can't you say that you have reached a level where the next level cannot be seen? I just want to be at the very top and look down below."
"There are also great views from halfway up."
"A level without a name... It would be much easier to talk about it if it had a name. Even a mere hill has a name, so why doesn't this have a name?"
Yang Ur ponders for a moment then speaks.
"What about Omniblade? How does that sound?"
"Isn't that too grandiose of a name? What are you going to name for the level above that then..."
"We can worry about that later."
"Hahaha! We shall call it Omniblade then!"
The two finish their short break and resume training as if nothing happened.
- A conversation between Soldoros and Yang Ur.
The Grand Master must first reach level 75.
- Talk to G.S.D. in Underfoot Hall.
- Enter the Black Dragon Tournament and obtain 45 Dark Energies from the APC's.
The Blade Master's Weapons
Blade Masters, in addition to and in combination with choosing their skills, also are best served by choosing their weapon types carefully. Several skills can change based on the Blade Master's weapon in hand and Mastery skill level with that type of weapon. Of course, the Secret Slayer Technique skill also is unique for each weapon type. This listing is not meant to be exhaustive, but rather to give a general sense of each weapon's feel and capabilities.
- Zanbato weapons hit hard, but are slow to strike. Charge Crash and Draw Sword get some Super Armor properties, and are chargeable for extra damage.
- Katana weapons are fast and hit many times, and cause bleed status, but do not hit very hard. Illusion Sword Dance, Flowing Stance - Swift and Aerial Chain Slash do more hits, but may cause less damage overall. Notably, Illusion Sword Dance does half the damage an equally statted lightsabre does.
- Lightsabre weapons are fast and do appreciable damage, but have fewer "quirks" on skills to play with. Draw Sword gets a second hit (as with a katana but without the bleed effect bonus), and Thrust does an extra bit of electrocution status, but few attacks have significant alterations from "standard" versions.
- Short Sword attacks have extra range, extending a "spirit sword" out from most attacks and many skills. Damage leaves something to be desired, and it is not as speedy as some of the other choices.
- Bludgeon attacks focus on stun and hard knockdown effects, often with "splash" effects. About as slow as a zanbato but with more speedy attack sets (and greater amusement value) for Secret Slayer Technique. Illusion Sword Dance and Charge Crash have a ground-slam knockdown area effect at their end.
The Blade Master's mastery skills are influenced by Weapon Wielder's Zenith, rather than being able to upgrade the other mastery skills individually.
