Does this weapn have some special properties in regards to gaining humanity from kills while the area boss is still alive?

I know if the boss is alive in the area you can gain a humanity from a kill, and the "soul absorb" animation turns black in the center, but I just saw an animation that looked like a light ball with jagged lines connecting with an outer light ring and a different sound happened that I never heard before either. That animation happened right when I gained a liquid humanity. I was unhollow but I was also playing offline so online interaction could not have caused this.

I can't find any mention of this kind of effect though, was it the sword?
