Excelsis

«Excelsis» is a One-Handed Sword used and owned by Kai. It was crafted by Lisbeth, from a Blessed Cornerium Ingot.

Excelsis appears in the story Truth and Ideals.

Appearance
Excelsis is a sword with a distinctive blue and silver color scheme. It has a straight, silver blade with an angular tip. It has a likewise angular guard, colored silver, shaped like a three-pointed star. A smaller, blue, chevron-like design lies under the three-point star. Its hilt is a metallic blue, and ended with a silvery pommel.

Truth and Ideals
Kirito brought Kai to Lisbeth's Smith Shop, who requested for a new sword. Realizing that any weapon outside of a boss drop was not strong enough to progress as a Clearer, Kai accepts Lisbeth's invitation to start the Raid on the Cornerstone quest to obtain Cornerium Ingots.

Upon the defeat of Monument the Lord's Obelisk, Kai and Lisbeth return to Lindarth to forge the sword. The ingot required 277 hits before it formed the Excelsis. Thinking that the sword had exceeded the stats of Dark Repulser (as well as its unique name), and thus Lisbeth's original feelings for Kirito, she attempts to confess to Kai, but is interrupted by Lind, who attacks Kai.
