Countless legends surround a sword known as
Soul Edge. Some claim it was the ultimate weapon. Others refer
to it as the "Sword of Heroes." …A phantom sword
with immeasurable power of the spirits…the key to eternal
youth…treasure without equal…a panacea to cure all illness…
There are even those who consider it the "Sword of Salvation."
Although no one could ever be certain of the
sword's whereabouts or true identity, various rumors and folklore
spread across the world. In reality, Soul Edge was comprised of
twin blades that fed on human souls.
In the latter half of the 16th century, a warrior
on a divine mission for the ancient god of forge successfully
shattered one of the evil blades. Tragically, shattering the sword
produced the opposite effect of what was intended. The balance
of power between the swords was destroyed, and the evil of the
blades spiraled out of control; its malevolent energy diffused
into the sky in a form of eerie light. The phenomenon, which later
became known as the Evil Seed, scarred the world with its evil
legacy.
The remaining sword possessed the body of a
man who took the evil blade into his hands and embarked on a killing
spree throughout Europe. Macabre accounts of merciless killings
spread fear throughout the entire continent.
Yet the massacres ceased after three years.
Four more years passed, and the horrors became a distant memory
and people felt safe once again.
…No one knew.
Four years before, a spirit sword named Soul
Calibur 2 appeared from the East, as if to answer the call
of the raging Soul Edge. No one witnessed the final battle to
the death where Soul Edge was shattered. No one knew that the
spirit sword was left behind in the vortex of evil to stop the
demon sword's powers.
Most people were oblivious to the fact that
the peace that followed was the result of this battle, and the
spirit sword's existence remained a mystery.
Unfortunately, the peace was merely a facade;
the evil blade began spreading its influence, quietly yet surely,
throughout the world once again. People unwittingly transported
the sword to every corner of the world in the form of metal shards.
These pieces of Soul Edge still embodied evil powers. With Soul
Calibur 2 lost in the void, it was only a matter of time before
the evil sword's dark powers infected the entire world.
The following tales of swords and souls are
of those who pursued Soul Edge for their own convictions and reasons.
