The Sacred Blacksmith anime
Fourty-four years ago, survivors of the Valbanil War declared war and prohibited the use of demon contracts that had ravaged the country. Inexperienced knight Cecily cambell wants to follow her family’s lead and protect the citizens of the city with the sword that her father gave her.
The market is her first challenge. Cecily steps in to help restore order after a mad swordsman causes havoc on civilians. Her weapon breaks, and she is overwhelmed. But a skilled stranger with a strange-looking blade intervenes. Cecily is relieved and goes to the local blacksmith to repair her family’s heirloom. She discovers that Luke Ainsworth, a blacksmith, is the only one capable of performing such complex repairs. She is determined to get her sword fixed and she searches for the man who saved her.
A group of bandits attack a convoy heading towards the city, but they are not slow to stop. They appear inhuman and then an ice demon appears. Luke suspects that the demon contract was used and summons a sacred power to defeat them. A shadowy, hooded figure watches from afar, as Luke suspects the use of a demon contract. What does the appearance of this shadowy evildoer mean for the pair?
