{{Card_Template}}
The Demon Swordsman (Japanese: ダークロード, Dark Lord) is an Earth attribute monster and a Weapon type card introduced in Lost Kingdoms II.
He is fought as a boss in Bhashea Castle and can also be found as a normal enemy in the Sacred Battle Arena stage in VS Mode.
Appearance
The Demon Swordsman resembles a man with red horns growing out his upper body. He wields a large sword with mysterious glowing glyph engravings on the blade.
Obtainability
- By capturing him in the boss fight of Bhashea Castle.
- Automatically obtained after defeating him in the boss fight of Bhashea Castle.
- By copying one using 58000 EXP, but only in RUNE II, the Japanese version of Lost Kingdoms II.
- By capturing him in the Sacred Battle Arena VS Mode stage when capturing is enabled.
Strategies
The Demon Swordsman is powerful as both a card and enemy monster. The card and monster forms can both use the Unrivaled Glory skill, but the attack differs slightly depending on which form uses it.
As a Card

As a Monster
The Demon Swordsman as an enemy has 300 HP and 10 Defense. Defeating him will give Tara 2700 EXP. He has two offensive skills: Unrivaled Glory and Body Cleaver.
The enemy form's Unrivaled Glory skill is a short range attack that causes 38 Base Damage, can hit up to three times per attack, and will knockback those it hits. When using this attack, the Demon Swordsman will use his sword three times; the first move a slice to the side, the second a slice downwards, and the third a stab in front of him.
Body Cleaver is a medium range attack that causes 50 Base Damage and can hit twice. When performing it, the Demon Swordsman will jump up in the air, then land a short distance closer to his target with his sword stabbing the ground. He can hit close-by opponents that he missed initially by removing his blade from the ground. While the land from the jump does not cause knockback, the removal of the blade from the ground does.
By using the Unique Skill of a Lucky Lion card while using the attack of a Banshee card as the killing blow against the Demon Swordsman, Tara can quickly gain EXP for her cards and herself, as the combined EXP boosting effects of these cards will quadruple the usual amount of EXP rewarded from his defeat to 10800 EXP.
However, if Tara levels up to the point that she entirely skips over a level where she would gain a Defense point, she will permanently lose out on earning that Defense point even though her stats will show it as if it was. To prevent this glitch, the player should avoid using Banshee and Lucky Lion cards together when battling the Demon Swordsman unless Tara is already at Level 20.

Trivia
- Since the Demon Swordsman card can't be copied in the US and PAL versions of Lost Kingdoms II, capturing him is the only way to get more than one of his card in the Story Mode of these versions. He can be captured multiple times by aborting the mission (or restarting with the same deck if the deck in use has at least one Capture Card left) before the capturing animation ends.
