Strange Straps
Dualistic Sword Of Faith
Rank: B+
Type: Anti-Unit
Goliath's sword. A thick and massive weapon that resembles a sharpened club more than a proper sword. Despite its inelegant appearance, the blade is incredibly sharp and can rend through most physical and magical defenses as if they were tissue paper. However, the sword's true power lies in the legends it accrued after Saber's death. Claimed by king David, the sword was passed down to his son Solomon who blessed it with holy sacraments and finally ended up in the hands of the knight Galahad centuries later.
Due to the blade's history of being wielded by Pagan giants, Jewish kings and Christian knights, it has acquired the dual attribute of a "
holy・
demonic sword". Etched with both Pagan runes and prayers to Yahweh, it is a sword that bridges the gap between Paganism and Judeo-Christianity. When invoked as a holy sword, the blade will burn with pure white light, dealing immense damage to demons, Pagans and everything unholy. Invoked as a demonic sword, the blade becomes engulfed in red and black flames that burn hotter against individuals associated with the Monotheistic conception of God.
Due to Saber's hatred of the religion that subjugated his land and people, it goes without saying which aspect he favors.
Zagan
Heart Of The Evil God
Rank: A
Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
A crystallization of the legend where Saber's heart was cut out after death and found to bear the image of the god Dagon upon it. This Noble Phantasm is Saber's very heart, the heart of a god from primeval times that still beats within his chest. Once invoked, Saber fully channels the power of his patron god into his body, effectively becoming a psuedo-avatar of Dagon. He gains the Skill
Divinity (False) and his skin becomes covered in iron-hard fish scales to defend against attack.
As Dagon was a god of water, Saber can freely command all sources of water within ten metres of his location, in a manner akin to Kayneth's
Volumen Hydrargyrum. If no water is close by Saber can also unleash a blast of highly pressurized water from his mouth, able to slice through solid steel with ease. However, due to the writings of H.P Lovecraft depicting Dagon as a grotesque fish-monster having influenced the god's conception in the popular consciousness, this Noble Phantasm has suffered a distortion akin to the
Innocent Monster Personal Skill.
The longer this Noble Phantasm is active, the more Saber will begin transforming into a horrific hybrid between fish and man. Along with the aformentioned scales, his fingers and toes become webbed, his eyes turn ink black and glassy, massive ridged spines erupt along his back and from his elbows and his jaw unhinges into a hideous gaping maw. Saber can use this transformation offensively, growing out the scales on his body to form makeshift blades or shedding them as dagger-like projectiles.
While powerful on land, Saber becomes an almost invincible existence when fought underwater. When submerged, Saber gains a rank-up to his Strength and Endurance parameters. Agility in particular is raised to A++ due to his vastly increased mobility underwater, allowing Saber to swim at extreme speeds that bely his massive girth. He also gains a powerful healing factor, constantly regenerating his wounds as long as he remains in contact with water. Even the strongest Heroic Spirits would have trouble defeating Saber in his native territory.
Saber's sanity degrades as his transformation continues, until he's little more than a beast driven by predatory instinct. His own Master would be unable to properly control Saber in this form, as even Command Seals would be overwhelmed before the sheer amount of magical energy exuding from the grotesque giant's body. Saber despises this Noble Phantasm, seeing it as a blasphemy to his god and will refuse to invoke it under any conditions. If Saber were to be by any circumstances forced to use it, his last act as a human would be to immediately kill his Master for forcing such a debasement upon him.
