[/sup][/center][/cell][cell]The Yokai Killer is an elegant yet fearsome sword, its blade emitting a mystical blue glow, inscribed with ancient runes and adorned with intricate designs of mythical creatures. This light isn't merely for show; it illuminates the darkness in which evil beings hide and thrive. The Craftsmanship on the sword is impeccable due to Connor Bray's forgery; it's next to indestructible. The primary ability of The Yokai Killer is its power to induce decay in malevolent Apparitions and Aberrations, provided by Luca Olivera's Rot. Upon striking such an entity, the blade releases decaying energy, rapidly weakening the target and causing its form to deteriorate briefly. This decay is not merely physical but extends to the essence of the being, disrupting its energies and weakening it significantly. 

Moreover, The Yokai Killer has a unique bond with its wielder, attuning itself to their spirit and intent. This bond means that the blade can only be effectively wielded by those who genuinely seek to protect and purify, making it a weapon of the righteous. The effectiveness of The Yokai Killer hinges on the user's intent. The blade senses the purity of the wielder's belief in the hostility of their target. The sword's power diminishes if the wielder harbors doubt or the target is not genuinely malevolent by their standards. In the hands of one with an unwavering conviction, the blade becomes a potent force against evil. Still, the sword will shrink back into the hilt if wielded against humans or benevolent beings, rendering it useless. This safeguard ensures that the weapon cannot be misused against innocents or in acts of vengeance, only to protect the weak.

A notable feature of The Yokai Killer, attributed to Selena Phoenix's White Lux, is its ability to sense the presence of hostile Apparitions and Aberrations. When such entities are near, the blade's glow intensifies, acting as a warning and a guide for its wielder. This response is not just a passive reaction but a manifestation of the White Lux infused into the sword. The brighter the glow, the closer and more powerful the entity. The Yokai Killer has another feature derived from White Lux that allows the wielder to see its aura through walls and other obstacles if separated. This connection manifests as a glowing outline that guides the user back to the blade.[color=2e2c2c].............................................................................[/color][/cell][/row][/table]
