Sacramentum is a Latin term, arguably derived from the prefix sacra-, meaning "holy", and -ment, meaning "mind". The latin word Sacrament has historically been translated to "oath".

A sacrament, in the Eastern Orthodox and Western Catholic traditions is one of seven rites, or ritual ceremonies, which serve as both a cause of sanctifying grace and as a sign of God's blessing/presence.

The Sacraments are baptism, confirmation, and marriage (rites of commitment); confession, penance, and anointing (rites of healing); and communion/Eucharist (the most sublime rite, signifying both commitment and healing).

In the Orthodox and Catholic traditions, strictly speaking, Deacons may perform baptisms and marriages; priests and monsignori may perform all sacraments except confirmation; bishops perform all sacraments. Baptism may be performed by anyone in extreme cases.

What exactly means Nex Sacramentum and what War in Darksiders meant by nex sacramentum is mine?

Two beings vow to that one will kill the other.

Not you." The Watcher then releases War from his magic, indicating that the Death Oath is a law he dare not disobey. It is unknown exactly what would happen if this law was broken.
