Hrunting

Hrunting (フルンティング) is a sword wielded by the Knight Leader, based off a sword used by Beowulf.

Etymology
In Nordic folklore, Hrunting is a sword, tempered in blood, which was given to Beowulf by Unferth, which supposedly never failed anyone who wielded it. However during Beowulf's battle with Grendel's mother, the sword failed him and he was forced to discard it, in fact never Hrunting is never used to win the battles pivotal to Beowulf’s tale.

Appearance
Hrunting initially appears as a long-sword with a blade 3cm wide and 80cm long with a silver surface covered in dark-red. Enhanced, the sword can take on a gigantic form about 3.9m long, a similar size to William Orwell's Ascalon.

Principles
Hrunting is meant to become tougher and sharp from the blood of slain enemies. The Knight Leader has Telesma, supplied by the Curtana, act in place of blood to gather a large amount into it, giving it tremendous destructive power. Ordinary physical laws don't able to the sword in this state, with it being lighter than its original mass should, tough enough to not receive a single scratch from a weapon such as Ascalon and sharp enough to kill someone such as William Orwell should a single strike hit him.

In constructing Hrunting, the Knight Leader analyzed the patterns and laws behind various legendary weapons from different mythologies, such as the Norse Gungnir and Mjölnir, the Celtic Fragarach and Brionac, and others. He then combined and condensed them, refining them into single attack patterns which he can use, and constructing completely new spells in the process. The way in which the laws and powers have been combined and condensed to produce this evolution and power has been compared to what happens when a star grows too large, undergoing gravitational collapse and forming a black hole. Patterns used with Hrunting include:
 * Attack Range (射程距離): Produces cutting attacks which can hit the enemy from any direction no matter where they are.
 * Slicing Power (切断威力): Allows the blade to cut through anything.
 * Weapon Weight (武具重量): Gives the sword tremendous destructive power.
 * Movement Speed (移動速度): Enhances the wielder's speed so no one can catch up with them.
 * Enduring Solidity (耐久硬度): Makes the sword indestructible.
 * Special Use (専門用途): A rare pattern meant to slay certain monsters.
 * Precise Accuracy (的確精度): Automatically guides attacks towards vital points.
