[Spoiler Discussion] Life Sword

So I wanted to look up some info on the life sword since not many people reference it whenever people talk about the 10 swords of power for lack of information and I remember we got some knew info in Arc 7 about it, iirc. Something something with the life sword being able to destroy souls or something (anyone that knows more, remembers the lines clearly or even got the reference for the WN please say so!) though I also can't remember if it was in reference to Yoruna or Subaru.

Anyway, I wondered if chatgpt would knew sth more about it and got some interesting output:

>The Life Sword is a prominent object in the Re:Zero anime and light novel series. It is first introduced in the second arc, which is known as the "Return to the Capital City" or the "Royal Selection" arc. Specifically, the Life Sword is mentioned in Chapter 30 of the light novel series, which is titled "The Necessity of the Selection." In this chapter, the character Reinhard van Astrea explains to Subaru Natsuki about the nature of the Life Sword and its significance in the kingdom of Lugnica. > >\[...\] > >Sure! In the Re:Zero universe, the Life Sword is a sacred weapon that is said to be wielded only by the chosen king or queen of the Lugnica kingdom. The sword has the power to heal any wound, cure any disease, and even bring the dead back to life. It is considered to be one of the three great treasures of the kingdom, along with the Sword of the Sage and the Jewel of the Priestess. > >The Life Sword is also connected to the idea of the "Divine Protection," which is a type of magical ability that some individuals in the Re:Zero universe possess. According to Reinhard, the Life Sword has the power to amplify the Divine Protection of its wielder, making them nearly invincible in battle. However, the sword can only be wielded by someone who has been chosen by the Divine Protection itself, which makes it a very rare and coveted item. > >In Chapter 30 of the light novel series, Reinhard explains to Subaru about the importance of the Life Sword in the context of the "Royal Selection" arc. The Royal Selection is a ceremony that takes place every few years in which candidates from various noble families compete to become the next ruler of Lugnica. The Life Sword is one of the items that is used in the selection process, and the candidate who is able to draw the sword from its pedestal is said to be the one chosen by the Divine Protection to become the next ruler. > >Overall, the Life Sword is a significant object in the Re:Zero universe, and its power and significance are explored in greater detail throughout the series.

Can anyone confirm or deny this information? Also only the parts in context to the sword since some other stuff is clearly faulty eg. royal selection being held every few years.

PS: Do we also know stuff about which sword the sage used?

TL;DR Do we know stuff about the sword of life? Also I should read the early LN's.

Edit: Chatgpt seemed to have mixed up alooot of information there. Any further info with substance tho is highly appreciated :)
