Holy Resuscitation

**Holy Resuscitation**, also known as the **Restoration of the Healing Saint**, is the Sacred Gear wielded by Eleazar al-Ghul of the Grigori and Diethelm Waldseemüller of Raphael's Deck.

## Summary

Holy Resuscitation is among the numerous Sacred Gears created by the Biblical God in the Great War before his death under the hands of the Four Great Satans. It is considered an immensely powerful Recovery-type Sacred Gear, but is severely restricted in its usage as its range only affects those who follow the Abrahamic faiths.

## Appearance

Holy Resuscitation appears as a silver-white aura which envelops the user's body.

## Abilities

Holy Resuscitation is considered one of the most powerful Recovery-type Sacred Gears, yet possibly the most restricted one, due to its unique power, which allows the user to heal people of various ailments through prayers, provided that they are faithful followers of either one of the Abrahamic religions.

Depending on the strength of their faiths, virtually all kinds of ailments can be healed, from physical to magical to psychological to even spiritual. The user can use it to perform a variety of miracles, such as regenerate amputated limbs, curing incurable illnesses, or simply reduce one's exhaustion and increase their stamina. According to Azazel, a former user's faith was strong enough to even heal the disabled and rejuvenate elders on death's doors.

However, to atheists or followers of a non-Abrahamic religions such as Neopaganism, Wicca, or Scientology, the Sacred Gear will be incapable of healing them. In some cases, if it senses that the target has committed any form of blasphemy (adultery, thievery, murder, idolatry...), it will place dark and terrible curses "Old Testament style" onto them.

Following Diethelm's reincarnation, his Holy Resuscitation mutated and transformed so that its healing power will now affect all those affiliated with Heaven, not just followers of the Abrahamic religions, as long as their loyalty remains unwavering.

## Limitations

Holy Resuscitation is revealed to be as dependent on the user's faith as much as it depends on the healing target's faith, as if the user's faith is wavering, the Sacred Gear's effects will not be as powerful. The user is also forbidded from committing taboos of the Abrahamic religion that they follow, such as eating pork (Judaism) or abandoning the salah (Islam).

## Forms

### Bemoaning Lazarus

**Bemoaning Lazarus** (復活した使徒の嘆きベモーニング・ラザラス, *Bemōningu Razarasu*), or the **Lamentation of the Resurrected Saint**, is Eleazar al-Ghul's Sub-Species Balance Breaker. It allows her to resurrect anyone of her choosing back to their most youthful state, curing all ailments, disfigurations, and corruptions, even if they aren't a believer of the Abrahamic faiths and regardless of how long they have been dead. However, it can only be used every four days and would require Eleazar to go under an intense purification ritual beforward.

### Fourteen Healing Salvation

**Fourteen Healing Salvation** (十四救護聖人による救済フォーティーン・ホーリー・サルベーション, *Fōtīn Hōrī Sarubēshon*), also known as the **Salvation from Fourteen Healing Saints**, is Diethelm Waldseemüller's Crest-Side Balance Breaker. It creates fourteen angel-like spirits made out of bright heavenly fire, each with four faces and six arms and ten wings with glowing eyes, all of which are armed with weapons made out of crystallized fire.

The spirits are extremely powerful and can fight against opponents who are God-class in terms of power and can smite any demonic or undead being within a 10-kilometer radius, almost killing them instantly. They can also combine with each other to form a giant spirit with a hundred heads, thousands of arms bearing a variety of different weapons formed of heavenly fire, and the lower body formed out of a giant mass of coiling serpents, who can fight on-par with a temporarily revived Ddraig, who is considered to be one of the strongest dragons to ever hold the title of Heavenly Dragon.
