So, the LN ended in volume 15.

Some bits I heard

Spoiler for spoiler volume 15:

1 - As it turns out, the sacred sword was Aria all along (or at least she became the sacred sword after being reforged).

2 - Cecily had to use Aria to seal Vaalbanil, but that meant that Aria became the seal in the volcano. Cecily promised to Aria that she and Luke would forge a new sacred sword to replace Aria as the seal, so that Aria could be free, even if it took many years.

3 - It took like 300 years. Lisa (who is immortal since she's not human) finally forged a proper sacred sword, and went to the volcano along with two kids who are Cecily and Luke's descendants, to finally replace Aria with the sword she created. Aria was finally free. The end.


Kind of a bittersweet ending, I think, since Cecily and Aria couldn't be together during Cecily's lifetime. And when Aria was finally free, Cecily was long dead. But it sounds like a good ending nonetheless.
