The old, original version is still considered a top end Extreme Demon to this day. The unnerfed version of the level was planned to be even harder than [[Bloodlust]], but Manix648 later ordered RicoLP to nerf it to release it sooner. This level features a mostly blue, black, and white colour scheme, with the exception of two of LazerBlitz's parts, which both have some purple mixed in. | ||

*'''12-58% (Manix648):''' After this is an extremely difficult wave segment by Manix648 (again, signified by his icon). This wave requires extreme timing and consistency to pass, and the frequent switching between normal and mini sizes. Additionally, many moving structures do not make it any easier. The drop comes next, which begins with a long mini-straight-fly sequence featuring the words 'Lets Go!' right at the beginning. Three individual corridors appear, and the player must be able to straight-fly very well to get through. Afterwards, the player must fly through two rows of teeth as the text 'Pierce through all matter' appears. Next comes a short ball section with pulsing decorations and tight spaces, followed by a mini-UFO segment involving some timing and orbs. Next is a relatively long, normal-speed dual-wave reminiscent of Betrayal of Fate. Then, there is an equally long dual-ship, mainly in black and white, with a smiley face in the middle of the section. Following this is a long, fast cube with the text 'Go!' at the start. This section involves tapping numerous orbs and not holding them afterwards, or the player will most likely hit a ceiling or sawblade. After this section is a short auto that says the level's name, followed by a mixed dual, which DuaL KiKi has called the most difficult part of the level. It is immensely difficult and varied when mixing between game-modes as well. Right at the end of this hefty dual comes a short but exceptionally narrow mini-wave, which leads the player into a more relaxing part. | *'''12-58% (Manix648):''' After this is an extremely difficult wave segment by Manix648 (again, signified by his icon).

*'''58-63% (LazerBlitz):''' This is another part made by LazerBlitz. It finally slows down a bit, and the gameplay involves a slow cube as the words 'Take a break' are presented. An art piece rises in the background, resembling a solar eclipse, which flashes to the beat as the cube turns into a ship containing a gravity portal and a blue orb, and then an auto with the blade in the background. | *'''58-63% (LazerBlitz):''' This is another part made by LazerBlitz.

*'''63-81% ( | *'''63-81% (Manix648):''' Next is Manix648 again, with what is probably the most well-known part of the level; a very tight UFO section with a black hole and stars in the background illuminating the hazards, orbs and portals coming up. It will be required to hit many orbs and jump at the right time to avoid crashing into a sawblade. The part ends with a very short mini-ship tunnel featuring a couple of gears, placed to make it more difficult to reach the two final parts of the level. A portal takes the player to a remarkably tight swing copter requiring lots of well-timed clicks, as the final segment made by LazerBlitz, which switches game-modes very frequently, appears. | ||
*'''81-100% (LazerBlitz + | *'''81-100% (LazerBlitz + knobbelboy):''' LazerBlitz' final part starts with a tight normal-size triple-speed wave, which turns mini for a moment as it then goes into a short ship requiring a little bit of straight-fly, and then a UFO (used as a transition in itself) with orbs the player must hit to the rhythm of the song. It goes back into a ship, now upside-down, and then yet another wave similar to the first one, but shorter. This wave leads into a mini-ball with many orbs requiring timing. Finally, a ship segment features some moving blocks where good manoeuvrability is needed. A cube portal appears, and three orbs need to be hit to get to the last flying part, saying, 'Manix', 'LazerBlitz', 'Verified by RicoLP', and 'Blade art by Knobbelboy', as well as showing the blade at the very end. | ||

Quantum was supposed to be the first player to verify it, but it was later passed to DuaL KiKi, who made some progress on it. He later realised it was taking up too much of his time, which would soon affect his grades. He felt the best thing he could do was to pass it on. He passed it on to [[TrusTa]], who passed it on to [[Sunix]], who passed it on to Combined, who stopped pretty fast. RicoLP was unofficially practising until Manix648 permitted him to verify it. Therefore, Blade of Justice had seven verifiers in total, which, along with [[Firework]], makes it the level with the third most verifiers ever, after Quicksand by Team Geostar (12 verifiers) and Forever Asleep by Walroose (15 verifiers). | ||
*When TrusTa was permitted to verify Blade of Justice, an uproar of people complained about how TrusTa could nerf the level the way he nerfed [[Yatagarasu]]. Unsurprisingly, TrusTa did not care and continued trying to verify Blade of Justice. | *When TrusTa was permitted to verify Blade of Justice, an uproar of people complained about how TrusTa could nerf the level the way he nerfed [[Yatagarasu]].

*Manix648 stated in a knobbelboy stream that Blade of Justice would be dead if another verifier quits. Therefore, he ordered RicoLP to nerf the level to get it out as soon as possible. This decision paid off in the end, and RicoLP finally managed to verify the level. | *Manix648 stated in a knobbelboy stream that Blade of Justice would be dead if another verifier quits.
