『虹霓剣』
ランク:A+、種別:対軍宝具
カラドボルグ。
別名、螺旋虹霓剣。螺旋剣とも。
地形破壊さえ可能とする、高威力と広範囲を誇る対軍宝具。伝承では、振り抜いた剣光が「丘を三 つ切り裂いた 」という恐るべき力が示される。
伝承には「虹の如く伸びた剣光」によって丘を切ったというが、宝具として振るわれるカラドボルグは地形破壊 兵器としての側面を色濃く有している。すなわち、大地を砕く問答無用の大攻撃。
後の時代、数多の英雄たちが手にした魔剣・聖剣の原型になったと言われている。エクスカリバー・ガラティー ンの原型である、とも。
名前の「虹霓(こうげい)」は「虹」の意味。

アルスターにクー・フーリンがいるため真の本気を出せずにいた彼だが、それでも一時はコンホヴォル王をあと 一息で討ち果たすまでに至った。
この戦いの折にクー・フーリンと交わした誓約(ゲッシュ)により、彼と再戦した場合にはほぼ無条件で勝利す る。
二度目のアルスター侵攻時には、クー・フーリンへの復讐を目論む女王メイヴによって「フェルグスの存在は邪 魔となる」と判断され、戦場には招聘されなかった。その後、嫉妬にかられたメイヴの夫であるアリル王の手に よって暗殺された。
聖杯にかける願いは「妻やメイヴとまた“仲良く”したい」。
仲良く。したい。
ちなみに妻は森の女神──神霊である。彼の絶倫にかなう相手など、人間にはそうはいない!
Fergus mac Róich
A brave warrior from the Celtic, Ulster era (Cycle).
A member of the Knights of the Red Branch, a magic sword-user that is also known as the friend and foster father of the hero Cu Chulainn.
A great glutton that possessed matchless vigor*, great generosity, who didn't felt envy nor fear-- even now, Fergus' reputation as a magnificent brave warrior has been left for posterity.
A man who established a corner of the Knights of the Red Branch, but he left the knight order out of rage from the betrayal of Conchobar, king of Ulster. At the outbreak of the greatest war in Ulster legends, he stayed beside his lover Medb, queen of Connacht, and displayed his valour.
He was kept from revealing his true prowess due the fact Cu Chulainn was in Ulster, but still reached the point where he was one step away from slaying King Conchobar.
Due the pledge (geis) exchanged with Cu Chulainn at this occasion, he will achieve victory almost unconditionally in case there is a rematch with him.
At the time of the second invasion of Ulster, Queen Medb - who was scheming her revenge against Cu Chulainn - concluded that "Fergus existence will become a bother" and did not invite him to the battlefield. Afterwards, he was assassinated by a jealousy-driven King Ailill, Medb's husband.
His wish for the Holy Grail is to "once again "get along" together with my wife and Medb".
Get along. Together.**
By the way, his wife is a goddess of the forest-- a Divine Spirit. There are not that many humans who can compare to his peerlessness!

NOBLE PHANTASM
Caladbolg - Rainbow Sword
Rank: A+
Type: Anti-Army
Also known as
Spiral Rainbow Sword. Or just
Spiral Sword.
An Anti-Army Noble Phantasm that boasts high-power and wide-range, which makes even landscape destruction possible. Its sword-shimmer when brandished "cut off three hills" - such fearsome power has been denoted in legends.
In legends, it cut a hill by means of "a sword-shimmer that extended like rainbow", but when wielded as a Noble Phantasm, Caladbolg's aspects as a landscape destruction weapon becomes pronounced. Namely, a no-questions-asked great attack that breaks the earth.
It has been said that, in later ages, it became the model for the magic swords・holy swords that many heroes obtained. Also, the model of Excalibur Galatine.
The "kougei (虹霓)"*** in its name means "rainbow".
*by the way, the original term can also be translated as "endless sexual stamina"
**this is actually a pun, as it can also be understood that he wants a three-way with the two of them.
***don't look at me! It was like that in the original!!
****I tried to find a good synonym for rainbow to put here, but it didn't work out. I'm leaving like this then.
