Inferno Slayer (weapon)

Inferno Slayer is a scythe used by a former Lumen Sage who's epithet is of the same name and used the weapon to relentlessly hunt demons.

In-Game Description

 * "A scythe used by a sage to hunt demons who wandered into human villages. His merciless killing of demon after demon earned him the name Inferno Slayer by the villagers. At first they praised him, but eventually they grew afraid of his power and expelled him from the village, no longer remembering him as a protector. No one knows what happened to the sage after he was expelled, and the scythe's whereabouts were long since lost to the sands of time. Eventually, Rodin heard rumor that a demon in Inferno possessed it; the weaponsmith claimed the scythe for himself, along with the soul of the demon. The scythe was then given the name of its previous owner, and became an instrument for slaying demons and angels alike."

History
The scythe was once a weapon used by a Lumen Sage by the nickname of Inferno Slayer, having earned this from his relentlessly killing of demons to protect human villagers from wandering demons. However, he was eventually expelled as their protector and Inferno Slayer's whereabouts and his weapon became unknown. His weapon ended up in the hands of a demon in Inferno and after hearing about it, the demonsmith Rodin claimed both the weapon and the demon's soul, giving it the name of it's former wielder. The weapon would later end up at the hands of one of the last Umbra Witch, Jeanne.
