Ok, it seems that you either did not read the novel or has completely forgotten the contents of it. So, let me enlighten you a bit.

I don't understand why you keep pressing this button. If Est was said to be a Spirit of Steel, then she is a Spirit of Steel, not Earth. The novel never mentioned she being related to any of the 6 main elements. Why do you keep stubbornly ignoring what the novel has presented to you so far?

Please, don't try to use half-assed manga knowledge as an argument.

I know that the curses are all absorbed. Still, this does not change the fact that it's an incredible useful ability.

About the granting Kamito the Steel properties, here:

Spoiler for Vol 12 Chapter 10:

Instantly, Kamito felt his body become as sturdy and resilient as steel.
This was the blessing conferred on his physical body once the connection with his contracted spirit was restored.

Spoiler for Vol 12 Chapter 10:

Kamito was unable to use healing spirit magic. Although the sword spirit possessed the blessing of steel, its effects were limited to his body only.

Spoiler for Vol 13 Chapter 2:

"«Steel's Protection» alone is enough for guarding Kamito!"

Spoiler for Vol 13 Chapter 5:

"It'll be a huge problem if scars were left behind on a girl. And look, I still have «Steel's Protection» from Est. This kind of small injury will heal on its own."

And last but no least. Here:

A human can get close and kill the Elemental Lords easier? The only stance where a human can stand before an Elemental Lord is when they achieve victory in the Blade Dance. The Spirit War was thousands of years ago, when humans had yet to be able to wield spirits. There was no Blade Dance in that time. If I'm not mistaken, the Blade Dance is roughly as old as Solomon....

Again, your arguments completely contradict themselves. If Est were to be a part of the Darkness Elemental Lord power, how the hell would she be an Earth Spirit? Besides, an Earth Spirit stronger than the Earth Elemental Lord itself?

Spoiler for Vol 12 Chapter 10:

On a foundation of steel's affinity, inheriting the power of darkness, its name was—
The «Demon King's Sword»—«Terminus Est Zwei».

See? A foundation of Steel. Which means that the original Est is Steel. Get it now?

See? S.T.E.E.L attribute.

Phew. End of my huge wall of text. Here's my advise for you: Go back and read the entire novel again, and properly this time.
