Pucelle's Oracle Sword is a magic sword described in Monster Girl Encyclopedia World Guide - Side II.
Guide Book Entry
Pucelle's[1] Oracle Sword is a former holy and now fallen sword that was one of the most sacred swords of Lescatie. It was given to people who received a blessing from a summoned Valkyrie, an angel serving the providence of the Chief God. This sword allowed the hero and the valkyrie to unite their pure thoughts to carry the will of the Chief God to the people together. It was said that since it was necessary to unite one's spirit with a Valkyrie possessing a noble heart, this sword could only be used by those who were originally born a hero and possessed such a noble spirit. In other words, Pucelle's Oracle Sword was meant for the "chosen ones".
It is said that in the past this sword led the hero along with the Valkyries called to him on the path of justice; the person in whose hands this blade fell was always glorified as a noble and righteous hero. Nevertheless, when Lescatie became a mamono realm, this sword, like all other magical swords, changed its nature. Corrupted by mana mamono, Pucelle's Oracle Sowrd now summons the maiden of battle with black wings that serves the Fallen God - the "Dark Valkyrie". No matter how virtuous is one who holds this depraved blade, being "attuned" to the depraved spirit of the Dark Valkyrie, which is full of carnal desire, his spirit will become equally aroused and faithful to his lustful desires. Regardless of the new owner's innate qualities, the sword will create a "chosen one" that will possess a spirit suited to the follower of the Fallen God. This magical sword will also summon a Dark Valkyrie, which will be synchronized with the newborn Dark Hero and become his faithful companion. Led by the Dark Valkyrie, the new master of this blade will plunge into sex and pleasure. Wherever this pair will go, everywhere they will carry the teachings of the Fallen God, expand the Mamono Realms and eventually the owner of this sword will become a famous Dark Hero.
In the past, the Oracle Sword was considered a "legendary sword," a treasure bestowed upon Lescatie by the Chief God, and only heroes who were "worthy" of Valkyries could use it. However, nowadays this sword turns those in whose hands it is held into "people worthy" of the Dark Valkyrie, so anyone can wield it. Unlike in the past, Pucelle's Oracle Sword no longer chooses its master, but tends to stay away from noble heroes and instead prefers to end up with poor boys in the slums or even geting picked up by thieves who have infiltrated Lescatie. My personal assumption is that since the nature of the sword has become the opposite, Pucelle's Oracle Sword, which was originally a "sword for the strong" and talented, has become a "sword for the weak" who desire salvation. In other words, this sword favors those people who will be most attracted to the "teachings of the Fallen God" and at the same time those who need her teachings the most. This blade was once touched by a brute brigand and as a result he became a "Dark Hero" that, along with his Dark Valkyrie, turned poor villages into Mamono Realms. When he appears anywhere with his Valkyrie wife, he behaves in a very friendly and exemplarily indecent manner.
In Lescatie, run by the Order, not only this sword, but other holy swords were reserved for only a few heroes-a handful of innately talented people. But in the Mamono Realm of Lescatie, where magical swords have changed their nature with mamono mana, anyone can use such a weapon, be it a monster or an incubus. As long as you conform to the nature of the magic sword, even without showing any special talents, you can be its owner.
