Angel Halo




 * A creepy sword received from Alice. Made from 666 melted angels, it can seal monsters.


 * “That's the cursed blade, Angel Halo. The original fallen angel created that in order to bring ruin to the angels.” - Valkyrie

The Angel Halo (エンジェルハイロウ) is a special weapon wielded by Luka, replacing his Iron Sword (although he still keeps his former weapon). It is extremely grotesque-looking, and as Luka puts it, “looks like [the angels are] being tortured”. It was given to him by Alice XVI (Sixteenth), noticing he has problems fighting to his fullest as the two leave Iliasburg. Alice says it is the only one of its kind in the world.

The blade was created with 666 melted angels, bearing their power and resentment; as a result the sword does not inflict fatal injuries, but has the power to weaken and seal creatures (e.g. an Earthworm Girl twirls into a normal earthworm, an Elf shrinks, a human turns into a scarecrow, etc.), although they can return to normal once they have accumulated enough power. Alice also mentions that because it was forged from angels, it can be used against and even harm them, reducing them to their original holy state; this makes it perhaps the only weapon with which a human or monster can injure an angel. For some reason, the Angel Halo makes eerie noises, which Alice says is expected.

When Luka reached the Sabasa Kingdom, a guard noticed his sword. Luka immediately assumes that the Angel Halo just got him into trouble, although the guard assures it isn’t like that.

According to Lilith & Lilim, Heinrich was the Angel Halo’s previous wielder and sealed them with it.

As Luka begins to leave the Sealed Sinner’s Prison, the Angel Halo momentarily shines with light, seemingly reacting toward Heinrich’s spirit.

According to Valkyrie, the original fallen angel, presumably Lucifina, created the Angel Halo to counter the angel race, who are immune to anything but holy energy.

Alice later admits that she used the Angel Halo to attack Goddess Ilias when she descended to give her blessings, inadvertently ruining Luka’s chances of becoming a "hero". Although Alice managed to scar Ilias, Alice was easily defeated.

When Luka and Alice inadvertently free Heinrich from the Sealed Sinner’s Prison, he reveals that he did originally use the Angel Halo to combat against Ilias and her angels, but the sword’s holy energy eventually consumed him and thus died out of his recklessness.

Tamamo later confirms Alice’s and Heinrich’s stories of their use of the weapon, also stating Heinrich received the sword from a fallen angel, presumably Lucifina.

Trivia

 * 666, the number of angels melted to create the sword, is a reference to the Number of the Beast, often associated with the Devil in Christianity.
 * The sword’s eerie sounds, what happened to the sword after Heinrich’s failed rebellion up until present day, and how Alice is in possession of it are never explained.
