Additional information
Oathbreaker also gives Lessing immunity to Burning Breath and debuffs that can be resisted by Status Resistance. If Oathbreaker is used while Lessing is under the effect of a Negative Status, the Arts damage is dealt first, then the Status is removed, and the rest of the effects are applied. The Arts damage is treated as a self-inflicted damage and can knock Lessing out.

Description

The youth wraps the untied bindings once more. They were bound into thick layers, concealing the heavy sword—though it could hardly be called concealed, given its size, and its outline was clearly visible even completely covered. Its crossguard was wider than most people's arms, and its blade longer than most people were tall. The sealed sword showed nary a hint of edge, and while it was unable to kill in this state, the sight of it was enough to send a shiver down anyone's spine—perhaps this was its purpose, perhaps the youth who carried the blade did not wish to take anyone's life. He simply wished to have a sword, for merely having a sword was itself a message to his opponents. That a bloody death was at hand, that all that it would take was to remove some flimsy bindings—so do not remove those bindings. This really was what the youth thought. He deliberately wrapped his sword in bindings, hid its edge, concealed it, placed it where no one could see it. The blade required patience. Patience could avoid wearing it down, patience could avoid bloody carnage. Yet even if you remain patient for years, even if you placed it where no one could see it, it would still show its one true use at a glance. And so the youth treated the sword this way, just as the youth treated himself. He said "I am the sword, I am its cutting edge, but I must be hidden away and concealed." He used to carry himself as such, taking his anger, his torments, his suffering, his joy, his excitement, his inspiration, and burying them within the thick layers of bindings, body and soul both stretched taut. But now, it seems like everything has changed. Enemies appear from all directions—though it could hardly be called appearing, for the youth had already imagined them deep in the dense forests of Einwald, below the rainclouds of Sturmland, within the great lakes and rivers of Wasserland, entrenched atop the mud and stones of Erdenherre, their silhouettes doing their dealings amongst the spires, darting between the palaces, the academies, and the mansions. So these were hardly a surprise to him, but he simply did not expect today's situation. When a time comes where push truly comes to shove, might he find that he can no longer see their faces clearly, or know where they were? The enemy is not yet at hand, yet he knows that they are everywhere. He had clearly bound the wrapping in thick layers, yet why did he feel so exposed these days? He had anticipated, prepared for this day. Had known it would come. Fremont had already warned him earlier: this is a battle you chose yourself. It is a battle I chose myself, the youth thought, his sword sealed anew.

Description

为了感谢莱辛一直承受老师的怒火，趁他这次前来，巫妖们决定定制一套“放松解压”行程，让莱辛毫无压力地度过一段休息时光—— 1.去顶级餐厅用餐。已完成！效果：这家伙说什么也不肯好好坐下来享受一次高级服务，我们拼命扯着他衣服上那些带子把他拉回来、固定在座位上，他才愿意张嘴吃饭。唉，我们之前那个可爱的小弟弟不过离开了我们一下，怎么就变成了这个样子？ 2.送他一身新衣服。已完成！效果：原来给孩子买新衣服是这种感觉啊，还不错，这家伙居然也挺像个天生的衣服架子的。就是我们给他量尺寸的时候他看上去很不乐意，吓唬了一下说“再动就用我们的丝线给你量”之后他就老实了。 3.帮莱辛完成老师新给他的工作。已完成！效果：怕这家伙不放心，我们让他好好坐着，当着他的面一件一件把那些没完成的事情都做好了，每件事也都问了他满意不满意，他说很满意。呼！他的压力一定都被我们消解了，我们真是一群好哥哥姐姐。 4.特大喜讯！老师刚说这段时间给我们放假，他要自己做研究，想清净点，这下可以彻底放松了！快把这件事告诉莱辛！ ——等等，他拔剑干什么？ 博士告诉止颂，巫妖们问他能不能偶尔去一下卡兹戴尔，还说绝对没有让他应付老师的意思，于是他踏上了旅程。但这次止颂遇到了一些让他觉得有点奇怪的事—— 1.巫妖们从未如此热情地请我吃饭。是不是他们在老爷子面前捅了什么娄子，想让我解决？ 2.巫妖们临时给我定制了一套衣服。一看就是突然捅了什么娄子，想拜托我解决。 3.巫妖们居然替我干活！事出反常，看来捅的娄子还不小！ 4.老爷子居然消失了！难道这件事甚至波及了老爷子......？ 面对一脸欣喜围着自己的巫妖们，莱辛像从前一样绷紧了身上的束缚带，做好了准备，挥舞着手中的大剑—— “结束了吗？说吧，你们要我去解决谁？” 弗莱蒙特为了拿梳理胡子的小梳子重新回来时，看到的就是这样一个场景：莱辛的巨剑呼呼生风，身上的束缚带也被大力崩开。小巫妖们抖抖索索缩在角落，小声提问：“所以你现在压力都消解了吗......？” 莱辛看着惊慌的巫妖们，又看了看散落一地的礼物，总算明白了今天到底是什么情况。他双手撑住大剑，长长地叹了一口气：“......消解了吧。”
