"It's Sever's turn to wreak untold havoc!"

— Sever

Sever (Japanese: ザンテツ, Zantetsu) is a Special Rare Blade in 异度神剑 2. He can grant tremendous power to his Driver Malos and his allies. Sever uses the wind element, wields a Sword Tonfa, and acts as a Tank in battle.

Personality

Sever does not display much personality as he has so little screentime; he is quiet and relatively reserved, although will cackle and is during the main game quite bloodthirsty, likely an influence from Malos. He trusts Malos and acts perfectly as a standard Blade to a strong Driver. Sever displays no unique Blade powers.

Appearance

Sever is an 类人型 Blade with four limbs, a tail, and an elongated head with tiny eyes and a fish-like mouth full of teeth. He is blackish-blue with gold-edged 防具, large black 爪击 and a pentagonal Core Crystal in the center of his chest.

Story

Sever and Malos fight Rex and Pyra

Sever makes his first appearance alongside his Driver Malos when Rex first encounters Torna. He is present and active as the party explore the Ancient Ship, doing nothing to stop Jin from killing Rex when they discover the Aegis that they have been looking for. As Sever leaves with Malos, however, Pyra awakens from her stasis and resurrects Rex as her Driver. Malos and Sever attempt to kill Rex again, displaying good Blade-Driver synergy, but Nia defects and she, Dromarch, Pyra and Rex escape on Azurda. Sever accompanies Malos and Jin back to the 麒麟马 to meet Akhos, who heads back out with them to the Kingdom of Uraya.

In Uraya, Sever 加入 Malos in the Olethro Ruins where they intend to lure Pyra. Alongside Akhos and Obrona they fight Pyra and then the rest of the party, making easy work of them until 凡达姆 is killed by Malos and Mythra awakens. As soon as she appears the tide of battle turns and, using Siren, Mythra cracks Obrona and Sever's Core Crystals, destroying them for good.

Sever is a temporary NPC found along with Malos at the C.S.E.V. Maelstrom's 甲板 in the Argentum Trade Guild nation.

Sever's awakening

牵绊

Sever's 牵绊, "Lone 沃尔夫", occurs at Cape Singbreeze in Gormott Province between Sever, his Driver, and Cressidus. It is the only 牵绊 of the Tornan Blades that doesn't include the Blade's former Driver, as Malos is the only Driver of Torna who is not recruitable. In it Sever enjoys the feeling of freedom that the area brings, telling Cressidus and his Driver that he 太羡慕了 those who can live alone (as a Blade he cannot exist without his Driver; ironic given that Malos outgrew his need for his Driver) and that 其它 people are an unnecessary burden. Cressidus disagrees, and the two argue back and forth.
