So there you go everyone who was mad over a superior weapon made by an animasmith being a katana, it literally upgrades into not a katana. (Go back to the comments for chapter 14 if you don't remember this.) @jonsmth
Nine months late, but it does appear to have a pommel which you can unscrew to yeet at your opponent to end him rightly.

Same reason they're fine with killing off Mills as well, whatever information it is they both want it and don't want anyone else knowing about it either.
Not gonna lie, the entire rubric for whether or not the assassin was gonna be needlessly forgiven and assimilated into the party was whether or not they had outrageous endowments.
Also what bull did Mills do to get off'd? Like, I know she pulled some strings, but it didn't look like she had lost her backing last we saw her.
@icarushector She basically used Dylan and his information as a bargaining chip to buy time. Of course the Church wasn't going to let her off so easy, hence the assassin sent to collect the information before she got it.
@Kurogwane Don't worry, its final form will be a katana again.
