Frost Scale Whip

The «Frost Scale Whip» (霜鱗鞭) is a «Divine Instrument» class whip used by the Integrity Knight Eldrie Woolsburg.

Background
The whip was originally a two-headed white snake that was the lord of the largest lake in the eastern empire. Quinella captured the snake alive and used it as a base material for forming the whip. The whip inherited the snake's agility, the sharpness of its scales and the accuracy of its aim.

Appearance
It is a long snake-like metal whip that is at least 4 meters (15 or more meters with the «armament full control» ritual) long and is gorgeously made out of interwoven silver threads with a countless number of sharp thorns sprouted along it in spirals, starting at about 1.5 meters of its length, as though it was the stem of a rose.

Abilities
The true power of the whip can be revealed by using the super high-ranking Sacred Art of «armament full control», which extends the reach of the whip several times and allows the whip to split into a maximum of 7. Additionally, with the second phase of the command, «Release recollection», it can turn into an actual snake with ruby red eyes and strike its opponents of its own free will, though the command has a very short effect duration, after which the whip returns to normal.

Alicization Turning
Eldrie decides to use this whip for his battle with Kirito and Eugeo instead of a sword, after he sees that the boys plan on using their chains as whips. Deciding to fight the boys with all his might from the very beginning, he enchants his weapon with a high ranking «armament full control» Sacred Art and immediately strikes Kirito, who is only barely able to dodge the attack, with the whip from a distance of fifteen meters. When Kirito attempts to attack Eldrie from up close, the whip is split into two and successfully hits Kirito on the chest and, later, it uses the same trick to block Eugeo's surprise attack and hit him on the chest. When Kirito uses this opening to attack Eldrie again, Kirito grabs the whip with his left hand and wraps it around his arm so that it couldn't be removed easily. When Eugeo finally gets up and attacks the Knight again while he is unable to use the whip and Kirito ensures that his posture is broken, Eldrie is forced to use the special «Release recollection» command to turn the whip into an actual snake, which bit Eugeo's chain and pulled him into the air with it, throwing him on the pavement afterwards.
