Excalibur Rapidly

**Excalibur Rapidly**, also known as the **Holy Sword of Heavenly Flare**, is one of the seven most powerful holy swords created in the Excalibur Project. It has the power to control the wielder's personal time.

## Summary

Excalibur Rapidly 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 Eastern Orthodox Church along with another holy sword bearing the name [Excalibur] - The Excalibur Transparency.

In 20XX, it was "stolen" by the fallen angel Kokabiel as part of the Grigori and the Four Great Seraphs' plan to create peace between the Three Factions. While being kept by Kokabiel's men, it was partially fused into a singular sword along with Transparency, Nightmare, and Mimic. After Kokabiel was defeated, Irina Shidou took it along with the other Excalibur swords back to the Vatican to be properly repaired.

When Xenovia's holy sword Durandal was given to the Vatican to be repaired, the Excalibur Rapidly, 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 Rapidly appears as an obsidian *katana* with its hilt bound in cold leather and the blade covered in angelic runes. The blade is described as being so sharp that, by mere look alone, it seems to be capable of cutting space apart with a singular cut.

Prior to its reforge, it appeared as a long *kris*, and the blade was wide with a diamond-shaped gap through it and spikes on both edges. When its powers were activated, both the sword and the wielder were covered in an orange-colored aura.

## Abilities

As a named holy sword, Excalibur Rapidly 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 possesses a powerful power that allows it to manipulate the personal time of its wielder, thus granting them an immense speed. Because of this power, its wielders can move at speeds drastically beyond what is naturally possible over all other humans, with their traveling speeds ranging anywhere from supersonic to hypersonic speed or even lightspeed and infinitely beyond.

However, following its upgrade during the reforging process, the sword gained the power to control the G-force, which can be used to manipulate the acceleration of something and its effects, to speed up, slow down, or change the direction of a moving object or person, manipulate the effects of acceleration of that object or person, manipulating the acceleration's "stress", making the acceleration more harmful or less harmful. Through this ability, the wielder's mind and senses become able to process information at such speeds that time appears to have slowed down, allowing them to perceive what would normally be moving too fast to see and respond accordingly.

The wielder can now manipulate the process of motion, slowing down a person's senses, controlling the rate of tissue growth, alternating rhythmic sequences, sensing parachronal displacements and altering the speeds a person can move at or alternate destination patterns. With this power, the wielder can freeze kinetic energy to freeze all motion and suspend a being or object in space and time. They can also reduce or cancel out movements, including that of matter and energy, at potentially atomic levels, staunching molecular movements.

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 Rapidly" 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 Zaphkiel, the Elder Seraph of Knowledge and Wisdom.
