Item from cradle-wintersteel by
Ruby's black sword — a weapon of blood and sword madra that becomes part of the Phoenix Blade after the merger.
Netherclaw was originally wielded by an Archlord slaughter artist before Ruby claimed it. In Ruby's hands, it became the counterpoint to Yerin's white-bladed wintersteel sword — darkness to light, blood to pure sword madra. After the merger, Netherclaw's binding is incorporated into the Phoenix Blade that Lindon forges for the unified Yerin.
A black-bladed sword that drinks light, its edge humming with blood-aspected sword madra. The weapon feels hungry in a way that echoes the Bleeding Phoenix's nature — fitting, given that its wielder is a fragment of that Dreadgod.
