Excalibur Destruction

**Excalibur Destruction**, also known as the **Holy Sword of Destruction**, is one of the seven most powerful holy swords created in the Excalibur Project. It has the power to release powerful waves of destructive energy.

## Summary

Excalibur Destruction is one of the seven most powerful holy swords created by the Christian Faction after the Great War through a combination of advanced thaumaturgy by those with magic powers that reached the territory of the gods and antediluvian technology in an attempt to recreate the "true" holy swords created by Heaven.

After the Excalibur Project had ended, the sword was given to the Catholic Church along with another holy sword bearing the name [Excalibur] - The Excalibur Blessing.

In 20XX, when news of the other Excalibur swords were "stolen" by Kokabiel, it was temporarily wielded by Xenovia Quarta to retrieve the stolen swords from the fallen angel and his men. After joining Rias Gremory's Peerage, the sword was given to the Protestant exorcist, Irina Shidou, and was returned to the Vatican.

When Xenovia's holy sword Durandal was given to the Vatican to be repaired, the Excalibur Destruction, along with five other Excalibur swords, was taken back to Heaven to be reforged into powerful Enochian swords. Though, for unknown reasons, copies of their original forms were made and fused into Durandal under the orders of Raziel, who said it was a "gift" from the angels.

## Appearance

Excalibur Destruction appears as a Roman *gladius*, with an ornate hilt and a pommel resembling that of a blooming lotus flower. The guard is made out of pure gold, embedded with priceless blood-red gemstones and in the shape of a fearsome lion. The blade is around 50 cm long and is engraved with golden veins, which are, in fact, glowing angelic runes etched onto the blade.

Prior to its reforge, it had the form of a two-handed sword with an ax-like guard and a second grip with chain-like form connecting the guard with the blade, while the blade itself was huge and long that ended with three points.

## Abilities

As a named holy sword, Excalibur Destruction is a powerful holy sword capable of vanquishing dark and/or demonic creatures regardless of their origins. It is considered to be one of the "prime" Excalibur swords, seven most powerful holy swords to be created in the Excalibur Project and is the nearest to a "perfect" recreation of the True Excalibur.

The sword has the power to generate and control powerful waves of destructive energy, capable of destroying anything without leaving a single trace similar to the Bael Clan's hereditary power - Power of Destruction. Unlike said power, however, the destructive energy generated by the sword is imbued with powerful angelic energy, making it the bane of nearly anything and everything even remotely associated with demonic creatures, or simply possesses "a darkened heart, plagued by sins and evils."

Following its reforge and empowerment, courtesy of the Fifth Heaven, it gained the power to conjure an energy capable of totally annihilating nearly everything under the definition of energy saved for angelic or demonic energy due to their cosmic origins. By manipulating this energy, the wielder can nullify virtually all of their opponents' non-physical attacks by eliminating the energy within their magical, spiritual, and conceptual techniques.

As the result of having one of Kamael's feather sealed within the hilt, the sword also gains the power to generate and control fire, especially holy fire which can exterminate anything dark and/or demonic, burning them down to a subatomic level. When activating this power, the sword's blade is lit on bright golden flames and radiates a monstrous heat that warps reality yet leaves the wielder unaffected.

In addition, due to the scraps of divine metals embedded into the sword during its reforge, it becomes an Enochian sword and can be used to kill virtually all beings in existence.

## Trivia

* Despite not knowing about the reforge, Irina was able to notice the "Excalibur Destruction" imbued in Durandal was fake based on experience with the Excalibur Mimic.
* Like the remaining Excalibur swords reforged by the Fifth Heaven, a feather from a member of the Heavenly Council is sealed within the hilt. In its case, the feather belonged to Kamael, Elder Seraph of Power and Valor.
