So he should go FPS style and steal some dead soldier's weapon?
Don't know really. SC masked itself as the Krita-Yuga for a very long time so whether there's a true holy sword out there isn't really known. I think SC was known as the holy sword since it was purified by the Zassy's tribe and the Dvapara Yuga as well as the Kali Yuga kept a hold on its powers, thereby forming the trio of holy item.
:Those who wield SE are enemy of mankind. I will save you and protect this world.

Nice observation Pyrrus. That's very similar to my line of thinking. For me, here's how Soul Edge and Soul Calibur manipulate its wielders.
Soul Edge----> Fears. The sword preys on the wielder's fears to manipulate them. Siegfried killed his father and from the immense guilt, he lied to himself and believed that his father's killer was out there. After obtaining Soul Edge, the sword fed into his fear by making the deal that if Sieg gave it more power, it would resurrect his father. If his father came back, his sin would be gone and everything will be well. He won't need to fear the haunting truth of the horrible murder he committed. Pyrrha was afraid of being alone and Soul Edge promised her it would stay with her forever if she gave it souls. But yes, in the end, it destroys the wielder's mind and makes them insane like you said ;D
Soul Calibur---->Lies of salvation. This is tricky since it's not very touched on. Pat wants to save his sister and SC seems to have twisted the words by saying that by giving his sister 'death', will she be saved and found peace. He himself is convinced he's saving her.
His mind isn't clouded really. SC just made him believe that he is saving Pyrrha and the world by killing her. For comparison, it's like Le Bello using his silver tongue to trick someone xD
Conclusion, she offers her wielders their 'wish' in a very twisted way and that's how she controls them.
Soul Calibur seems to be infatuated with the idea that death is salvation and continually calls herself the light of humanity or something. Where SE represents chaos, she represents order. True order is death, ironically. There's no lies, no anger, hate, wars, etc if everything in this world is dead. A world that's icy cold and devoid of life is her twisted idea of peace and salvation. The two sword's methods in the end is the same really, just lies.
Kilik killed everyone in the Ling Sheng-Su temple during his rampage when the Evil Seed event happened. Lol, Edgemaster, Kilik, Seong-Mina, Xiba and Xianghua's dad are the only ones who knows the fighting arts of the the temple or anything about it. And remember, SC was created from SE itself. It was merely purified but Algol's hate in the end prevent from being truly holy. It didn't matter if it was left in the void.
I am aware about that part but what I should've mentioned was before the events of the Evil Seed episode. So that's where the original source of SC's corruption came from, it was within Algol's hate. You also mentioned something about doubting the possibility of creating a holy Krita Yuga, which kinda rules out any chance of a holy sword being created unless it was created by shamans or holy warriors. Since the Dvapara Yuga isn't a weapon, and Talim isn't around, unless she returns. So, the only holy fighter we got left is Kilik but he has SE energy within him, so it's kinda dicey with trying to rid of the soul swords, and him trying to close the gates of Astral Chaos at the same time.
We have another holy fighter in this roster. Too bad she doesn't even know about it. She's too busy being hyped about how the outside looks.
You mean the one that ran away from her home twice when she was a teenager, only to be pawned twice and dragged back home?
Ah yes, thanks for the reminder Hikari. But if I remember, it was a pretty sad weapon. It cracked just from being near Raphael's evil town so I doubt its powers. Since the holy ore came from that idiot of a Greek god, Hephaestus, I'm very distrustful lol.
You mean Leixia? Well, she is on her way to finding Kilik isn't she? Maybe he can help her out with developing purifying abilities.
I believe in Cassandra case was because she was too blunt with her set, Sophitia was able to purify just fine, but I guess is just because she was you know not " Going all out. "
