TAKOBOTO

Used much like the な of na-adjectives - somewhat archaic.
With my sacred sword I shall smite thee!

Add formation 

あくまめ！おれさまはせいなるけんできさまをたおす！

Foul demon! _I_ will smite you with this sacred + sword!

のエピソード４のふくだいは、「あらたなるきぼう」である。

The subtitle of Episod IV of Star Wars is "a new + hope".

Also used a lot in fantasy computer games. ;-)

P.S. Don't use 俺様 unless you happen to be a samurai from the past or egotistical hero of a bad Anime.

Amatuka

P.P.S. That's probably a horrible horrible example sentence ^^v

Amatuka

Incidently, is that 剣 read つるぎ ?

Amatuka

剣 read つるぎ and けん。You can use both way in context.

Miki

Ah, I thought that might be the case - but I wasn't sure.

Amatuka

単なる is probably a more common word.

SlyEcho

the word naru came to me in a dream...in the form of a woman and she was gorgous ...sighhhh

cary

悪魔め！俺様は聖なる剣で貴様を倒す！
スター・ウォーズのエピソード４の副題は、「新たなる希望」である。
These are both well-written.

Nick

Thank you (^o^) I am quite good at Japanese.

This shows up constantly in the (imitation?) archaic style that seems to be preferred for writing spell incantations in the fantasy genre.

Taking a few examples from spell incantations in the Slayers anime...
ドラグ・スレイブ（竜破斬） (Dragon Slave):
...偉大[なる]汝の名において　我ここに　闇に誓わん...
...I hereby swear unto darkness by thy * great name...
リカバリイ（治療） (Recovery):
聖[なる]癒しの御手よ　母[なる]大地の息吹よ...
O holy * healing hand, O breath of Mother * Earth...

Looking at 母なる大地, it seems that なる can also be used with nouns (like の in modern Japanese).
