Weapon Story[]
- Attacked by the forces of darkness, the nation was annihilated in a single night by inhuman soldiers with red eyes and a group of black dragons so numerous they blotted out the sky. Having infiltrated the king's castle, the black dragons visited upon the king and queen a most horrible fate—it is said that their stomachs were torn open by the black dragons' mighty claws and the very floor they stood upon became a sea of blood.
- The prince and princess, though wracked with sorrow, escaped to live another day. The prince, spurred by the shock of witnessing his parents' tragic end, became consumed by a desire to exact vengeance.
- Obsessed with laying low his hated enemies, the prince indulges in his vengeance day after day after day. Even when faced with foes who take heel, he chases them down and tears them apart from groin to gullet. The carnage is so horrific, his fellow soldiers whisper tales of how they saw him mutilating bodies that are already long-dead.
- Perhaps because no commander can control him, the prince is sent to an even harsher battle.
- The prince's next battleground is a castle that guards a goddess. He lays waste to all before him: hacking arms, cleaving legs, rending stomachs, gouging eyes, separating heads from shoulders. But soon the injured prince can no longer tell the difference between the blood that rains down and that which comes from his own wounds, and he collapses in a heap.
- As he writhes in pain, coughing up gouts of hot blood, he lifts his gaze and sees a hated dragon standing before him.
- An injured red dragon stands before the prince—and though it is a different color than the beasts that killed his parents, he feels the need to avenge himself upon it regardless. But as he raises his sword, the dragon says, "In exchange for both our souls, human, I will save your life and grant you power."
- After some thought, the prince makes the pact. It matters not to him what he might lose in the deal or that it involves a dragon; all he cares about is that he can continue swinging his blade. So he swings and swings and swings, and with each blow, his heart fills with a desire as black as the deepest night.
- This is a story about a sad prince. A story from a long time ago. A dark force attacked his kingdom. In a single night an army of red-eyed monsters decimated it along with enough black dragons to cover up the sky. It’s been said that the King and Queen were disemboweled in the royal city under the claws of the black dragon, and the entire place was a sea of blood. The prince and his sister were able to escape, but the prince vowed to become a demon of vengeance after witnessing the disaster.
- This is the story of a mad prince. A story from long ago about an encounter with a dragon. In front of the prince was a heavily injured red dragon. The prince wished to kill it. Even though the dragon wasn’t black in color, their species was still responsible for his parents' death. The dragon spoke as the prince raised his sword. “I will let you live. We will exchange our souls, and I will give you power.” The prince thought about it long and hard, and decided to enter into a pact with the dragon. It didn’t matter what he’d lose, it didn’t matter if it is a dragon, nothing else mattered as long as he could wield his blade of vengeance. The only thing in the prince’s heart was a pitch black desire.
Trivia[]
- The weapon's description and appearance is a direct reference to the pact between Caim and the "ancient red dragon" from Drakengard. Upon close inspection, it appears to takes the shape of a level 2 Angelus.
- The weapon story is about Caim's backstory and how he met Angelus at the beginning of Drakengard.
- Unlike its one and two-handed DLC counterparts, it is not the strongest spear in the game.
