Background

Himmel tried to pull the sword out and failed. Even so, rumours spread that he defeated the Demon King with it, and only a few people know the truth. Himmel's blade was a replica, first commissioned by a merchant and forged by the dwarven smith Kiesel; he received it as a boy after saving a peddler near his hometown. The replica was a real weapon that killed many monsters, the Demon King among them. The true sword fills monsters with an urge to destroy it, yet they also fear it. 'Sword of the Hero' is also the title of Chapter 114 of the manga.
