“

With each stroke, my sword paints the vast sky red... Perhaps this will be my masterpiece.

”

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 and is able to attack faster than any of the other Slayer subclasses. At level 48 the Blade Master awakens as a Grand Master.

His subclass cosmetic effect is a white-colored arm that leaves a slight illusion effect behind it when it is moved.

Becoming a Blade Master

The Slayer must first reach level 20.

1. Bring 60 white cube fragments to Loton so he can construct a Regulator.
2. Clear Shadow Thunderland on expert road or higher.

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.
