Meusvult

"If a sword only cuts what it wishes, is it a sword or a swordsman?"

- Ashy

Meusvult (メーオスブルト, Mēosuburuto) is an Olympus Peak and thus one of the combatants at its Coliseum. He has gained an incredible reputation for the swiftness of his victories and his incredibly precise combat form, despite his identity always being obscured due to his very rare appearances.

In actuality, Meusvult is not a Mage, or even at all. Meusvult is an enchanted pair of swords named Caelum (カエルム, Kaerumu) and Tellus (テールス, Tērusu) that have been merged into one body due to their original existence being a single entity: Meusvult. They were the blade regarded as the "Sword of Choice" (選択の剣, Sentaku no Tsurugi), a sword of such divine craftsmanship that it could enable its wielder to cut through anything so long as a conscious decision was made. However, with its incredible power came its associated consequences. The will of the blade, ingrained by its blacksmith, had to ensure that all choices were met with appropriate consequences. Thus gradually, all who wielded the blade had everything precious to them taken away.

The sword was deemed cursed and thus its power was meant to be cleaved. But the will of the blacksmith remained so powerful that the blade was not cleaved, but rather perfectly split in half. Yet even with this separation into two blades, Caelum and Tellus would always recognize and seek one another, irrespective of their wielder's choices. As generations passed, the swords were eventually antiquated in favor for more easily controlled, large-scale abilities. Nonetheless, a High Enchanter would soon gain possession of these swords and enchant them for his own benefit. Much to his surprise, the enchanted personalities of each sword fused into a single body, for all they required was a linking source.

Now in an unstable state, Meusvult uses specifically enchanted bandages to suppress the existence of both personalities at the same time. Now, either Caelum or Tellus may choose when to appear as the body they both occupy begins to further stabilize for the reunion of one of history's greatest swords. Notably, due to their debt towards the High Enchanter, Meusvult has traveled across the continents in collection of powerful magical swords in order to assist his goals. Their repute is such that they've been labelled as the "Sword Hunter" (, Sōdo Hantā; lit. "Sword-Hunting Wanderer"), a fearsome criminal being hunted by the, and Bounty Hunters alike.
