Is Murphy truly dead

<< < (18/18)

--- Quote ---For Mira’s point remember Murphy was awake the shoe fetishist Anduriel was listening in on them all the time.

Her falsehood was likely for Anduriel’s benefit, it was her Goodman Grey, the Sword was disguised as a rocket launcher, something which could have killed Blood on his Soul (except maybe not given he was a Denarian on top of his own prodigious healing ability).

I don't know if it exactly went like that, but you've solved the mystery of what happened that day.  Anduriel listening in on the conversation between Murphy and Harry, knew what was said and relayed it to Nic.  Andriel could also relay to Nic that Murphy had hidden the Sword in a rocket launcher case and taken it with her. With this information Nic could set up the breaking of a Holy Sword, while tip toeing up to the line, but never cross it as far as his bargain with Mab goes. Thus he planned and played Murphy to a tee so that she would produce the Sword and attack him.  Then knowing exactly what she'd do and what would happen to the Sword if she tried it, gave himself up to her.  It was the perfect plan to get a Holy Sword broken and Harry's right hand woman out of the picture.  What Nic hadn't planned for was how far Uriel was willing to go so that the mission would succeed.





--- Quote ---It’s exactly the same as Harry treated the Spear in BG, just as a common knife.
--- End quote ---

No, he didn't.  He kept the Spear hidden and secret until he was ready to use it.  He had the tip of his staff remade to handle the Spear.. He never took it out to brandish it at anyone, and he was in plenty of fights with heavy weights up until he needed it to deal with Ethniu.
