 is the Noble Phantasm of Charlemagne. The holy sword Joyeuse splits and transforms into each weapon of the Twelve Paladins, which then rain down an onslaught.

But through Charlemagne’s kingly courage… That is, when showing his dignity as a king, the legends of the Twelve Paladins is infused within that 'illusion’, and one more 'Joyeuse’ is added each time. Instead of being swapped out, they join in.
