For a brief time, the Morris Clan was in possession of the Vampire Killer whip, although that clan was not recognized as worthy of the whip and thus it began to slowly drain their lifeforce. Come the 21st Century, the whip, was returned to the Belmont Clan in the hands of Julius Belmont, who is the last known wielder.

"Mature Content"
This character or verse has mature themes and concepts, thus those of young age are ill-advised to look through these.


A whip that destroys all that is associated with the dark creatures of the night. As a result of an ancient blood pact, it can only be used by a Belmont.
~ Dawn of Sorrow library entry

Background

The Vampire Killer whip, also known as the Belmont Family Whip, Holy Whip, Mystical Whip, and formerly known as the Whip of Alchemy, is a recurring legendary whip in the Castlevania series.

Originally created as the Whip of Alchemy by an alchemist named Rinaldo Gandolfi, in order to slay the Vampire King Walter Bernhard, it was eventually passed down to Leon Belmont. The whip was fond of Leon and grew more powerful as a result of being wielded by him, but was still not powerful enough to defeat Walter.

Eventually, Leon found that Walter had transformed Leon’s betrothed, Sara Trantoul, into a vampire. Eager to preserve her soul in any way that he could, Leon turned to Rinaldo, who suggested that Sara’s vampiric soul be infused within the Whip of Alchemy before she died.

After doing so, the Whip of Alchemy grew a great hatred towards anything related to the creatures of the night, and became known as the Vampire Killer. Leon would go on to not only defeat Walter Bernhard, but spark up the feud with Count Dracula (then known as Mathias Cronqvist) that would last the next thousand years.

The Vampire Killer whip went on to be passed down through generations of Belmont’s, each wielding it to destroy creatures of the night. Eventually, however, Richter Belmont grew to believe that he was not worthy of the whip, and gave it away to the Morris Clan.

For a brief time, the Morris Clan was in possession of the Vampire Killer whip, although that clan was not recognized as worthy of the whip and thus it began to slowly drain their lifeforce. Come the 21st Century, the whip, was returned to the Belmont Clan in the hands of Julius Belmont, who is the last known wielder.

Other

Weaknesses: Inexperienced Belmonts cannot draw the full power from the Vampire Killer, with it taking a weaker form for them[114]. Can only be wielded by those it deems worthy, anyone who it deems unworthy, will have their lifeforce, slowly drained from them[115]. One will have a harder time using the whip to strike theose who carry the Lecarde family[116].

    It was a whip that was soaked in blood in some places.
    “I picked this up at the garden and I believe this is yours, right? Old man Julius also uses a whip. I came here just to deliver this to ya.”
    Whoosh, receiving the thrown whip, Michelle noticed that it was the magical whip that serves as Curtis’ weapon.
    “That’s great……! Curtis! With this your power-----“
    In order to shake away the confusion she had a while ago, Michelle raised her voice, but-----
    “Sorry, but…… with my current self, I could not handle it.”
    “……? What are you talking about? Curtis……”
    was he still confused, Michelle made him grip his whip.
    Snap, some kind of popping sound rang and Michelle felt a light shock in her arm.
    “Uh……!?”
    What happened, she directed her eyes on the origin of the shock-----
    A part of the whip’s handle had a rotten like disintegration-----
    A part of Curtis’ hand was burned, and that skin immediately returned back to as before.
    ----- No way……
    “Curtis……?”
    “……I am currently weak at holy magic.”
    “Eh……”"

  64. Akumajo Dracula: Kabuchi no Tsuisoukyoku Novel “I had said it before. I do not intend to bind the world with chaos.”
    “…… If so, why did you take power away from the crack in the eclipse’s seal? If you just intend to imitate like a monkey, isn’t your own power enough?”
    Those were the emotionless words of Death.
    In response, Olrox laughed his bold answer.
    “As I’ve said, I would equally gain control over the human world and the source of Dracula’s power, chaos. I do not intend to obey someone else’s mind aside from my own. That includes you who were born out of chaos.”
    “……”
    “You should be glad though to know yourself. Just by stealing power, my shameful monotonous time is over…… Even before Alucard appeared, just because I showed up and declared war on him.”
    Olrox’s voice was mixed with a tinge of thin delight. He respectfully bowed to Death who completely killed his emotions.
    “I would end the reincarnation cycle of this demon castle. I who understood and was spun out of the stains of chaos, swear to rob that power with my hands. Now, yield.”
    With Death’s reply, an explosive murderous intent rose.
    Two bronze colored scythes much larger than usual appeared; it advanced to the space in between the two men with an intention to cut off Olrox’s head.
    Kill the distance-----
    Kill the sound-----
    Just, faster, soon, die.
    It can be seen that the blades have certainly caught Olrox’s neck, but----- that is only an after image and the vampire is already at Death’s back.
    “……die.”
    That was said by the enemy who called on his servants.
    From the surrounding space, a group of purple bats rose, passed by Olrox’s arm with the speed of a bullet, attacking Death. However, Death did not show any gesture of avoiding them. He simply faced Olrox and sprayed out numerous scythes.
    The bats and scythes cancelled each other out and the entire dance hall sparkled with blood."
