- Dragon Sword Reid: A sword used by the first Sword Saint and passed down by successive Sword Saints. The sword can only be drawn against opponents it deems worthy for it to be used against. It is the most famous blade in the world; there is no blade more holy than it, none more magical than it. It is the strongest, the sharpest, and the most beautiful in all the land. It is an enchanted blade that has drunk the blood of the thousands of dragons it butchered. It is a sacred blade, bearing a blessing bestowed by the Sword God. It is a blade thoroughly honed, forged by an anonymous swordsmith, and the finest steel tempered by the finest skill.
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius (As the Sword Saint, Theresia's stands at the pinnacle of swordsmanship,[29] and she possesses flawless battle instincts, regardless of whether it's a sacred sword, or demon sword, as long as it's connected to battle Theresia knows all their perfections and imperfections[2]. To even the skilled warriors of the Kingdom, all Theresia sees in their fighting styles are imperfections.[2] When the soldiers’ mistakes are pointed out to them by her one by one, they would eventually correct themselves, however, from Theresia’s perspective, although the way of fixing those faults may be correct, it was never enough. Has such skill that even without turning around she blocked Wilhelm's attack which came from behind her[29]. Thought Wilhelm's swordsmanship was lacking,[2] in his younger days, despite him already being the most skilled swordsman in the Kingdom. Wilhelm himself thought Theresia's swordsmanship could never be reached[9] in a lifetime or eternity. Her skill was at the same level as Cecilus Segmunt's, although she lacked his combat experience[30]) | Genius (Those on the level of Wilhelm and Theresia are masters whose skill surpassed the realm of mere humans.[13] Garfiel freaked out, after Wilhelm showed him just a fragment of the summit of strength,[31] he is aiming for. Theresia has supreme skill that she can destroy a person's leg without doing any unnecessary destruction,[24] only having the barest amount of blood on her sword. Diverted Wilhelm's attacks, making the swords look like they were dancing, a feat of genius[32])
Weaknesses: None notable
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Divine Blessing of the Reaper: Theresia's Blessing which imbues her slashes with the ability to leave wounds that are unable to be healed. The power of her Divine Blessing increases the closer she is to the target, and she can even reopen wounds others have if they are close enough and were originally inflicted by her. Also, the injury cannot be healed, even with cellular regeneration.
- Divine Blessing of the Sword Saint: An ability which maxes out her Swordsmanship, and allows her to able to draw Reid, the Dragon Sword. Also grants the user the ability to see floating white rays of battle which if they were to merely follow the rays and trace them with their sword, they would unquestionably kill their opponent. The ability grants the user battle instincts which are heightened to perfection, and they can send, and the read the trajectories of their opponents attacks.
Note: While Jiwald is a lightspeed attack and the Ex Novel characters have dodged it, there are numerous inconsistencies with them being that fast, and thus it's considered an inconsistency/outlier.
