Angel Soul: Shining Cavalier

"Vanquishing evil in the name of heaven! (天怒りて悪を斬る!, Ten ikarite aku o kiru!)"

- The phrase that more often than not heralds the transformation into the Paladin of Mankind.

Angel Soul: Shining Cavalier (, Enjeru Sōru: Shainingu Kyabaria lit. Angel: Holy Paladin of Mankind's Wishes) is a Take Over spell of the Angel Soul line that enables the user to take the form of the divine existences subservient to the deities above- in other words, angels. In the case of Angel Soul: Shining Cavalier, it allows the caster to transform into the Paladin of Mankind, Argento (義侠士の人類・アルジェント, Gikyōshi no Jinrui, Arujento), a powerful angel who was formed through the collective wishes of mankind for there to be a saviour to protect them from everything deemed a threat, making Argento an exception of the "familiar of a god" rule- in any case, Argento fights with his Celestial Weapon, Goldblade, and his Angel Skill known as Holy Lightning.

Description
As mentioned above, Take Over: Angel Soul is a variant of Take Over which enables the caster to, essentially, "take over" the power of an angel and use it to assist them in the heat of combat. Angels (天使, Tenshi) are known far-and-wide as the messengers of deities. They are benevolent celestial beings who act as intermediaries between what is dubbed as the Heavenly Realm and for their deities, or as guardian spirits or a guiding influence. Angels are known for protecting and guiding human beings, and carrying out the tasks of their patron deities, meaning that they could be considered existences akin to that of a Familiar for gods of sorts. While traditionally, angels appear as the rather stereotypical pretty-looking humanoid with feathery white wings protruding from their back, a golden halo on their head, and white robes, the truth is that in terms of appearances, Angels can be considered similar to that of demons as they are highly varied, running the whole scale such as sprites, traditional looking angels, or in some occasions anything that represents organic and mechanical beings of an advanced extraterrestrial origin.

In order to initiate this magic, the user must firstly defeat a living angel, and then grab ahold of it, surging their Magical Aura into the angel, using their magical energy to enter the angel's Magic Origin and overwhelm it, quickly replacing the target's magical energy with their own, resulting in the loss of magical power causing the body to break down into eternano particles and becoming absorbed into the user's own Magic Origin. Even after being defeated, the angel that the user targets will still have some willpower left, and thus a battle of fighting spirits will begin, the user and their target fighting for dominance as the user attempts to assimilate the angel. Because Angels, just like dragons and gods, are an entirely different scale than the other monsters that a user of Take Over can assimilate, most of them are phenomenally powerful and thus are significantly more troublesome to defeat- no matter what, victory is not guaranteed. Additionally, angels, unlike many other beings which can be affected by Take Over, possess magical reserves and intelligence beyond nearly anything else, meaning that even if the user achieves victory, an angel could hex them in their final moments, possibly killing them or even worse- because of this and above mentioned factors, proper Angel Soul is rarely seen.

In any case, when bringing the power gained Take Over: Angel Soul to the very forefront, the user releases the eternano particles that are all that remained of the assimilated angel out and superimposes them over their body, solidifying them with magical manipulation and tuning their Magic Origin with the remnants of the monster, thus bringing their form into existence once more, albeit under the user's control, as they wear it as an "armour" of sorts; transformations seem to take place by tearing the user's clothes off and covering parts of their body or their whole body with many flames, which subsequently disappear, revealing the summoned part or transformation. Generally, Take Over drastically bolsters the power, strength, and speed of the magician, and in the case of Angel Soul, the form of the user will be forcefully modified to suit the absorbed angel's height, weight, and general size- not only this, they will receive an enormous boost of power all across the board while also enabling flight with wings, their current form of magic will be supercharged and converted into the Angel's special form of Light Magic that is said to be miraculous and can wash away the sins of those struck by it with a light beyond any equal- not only that, they can use the element of light in ways that are thought to be impossible by the standards of mortal keen, making them tricky opponents, befitting their status as messengers of the gods.

When assuming Angel Soul: Shining Cavalier, a burst of light envelops the caster's frame in its entirety, morphing their physiology into something more accommodating for Argento so that he can make his appearance in the physical realm. The masses of light converged upon the caster's body compress before being released in a pulse of crackling lightning which ascends into the skies, taking the shape of a golden pillar that pierces the heavens themselves before quickly dissipating, resulting in the Paladin of Mankind enveloping their existence. Argento takes the form of a magnificent armoured warrior of white and gold whose two palettes are distributed evenly- with large pauldrons of upper white and a shining golden serving as 'trim' of sorts, these golden portions curve upwards at the ends and are segmented, resembling tusks of sorts- there is a stylized "39" painted in crimson on the left pauldron- his arms are no different, being completely white with the addition of a golden bangle and grey gloves. Clad in a white metallic bodysuit, Argento also has the most gold around the portion of his body which separates his torso from his lower body, with the golden attachments spanning out to form two holsters for his Goldblade's dual-bladed form, and with two diamond-esque charms touching his legs. Adorning Argento's chest is a circular golden chest with three sections –two corresponding to his arms and the other one extending downwards- that attach to the other golden portions of the armour, and a glowing green gemstone remains in the middle- as Argento gains more and more power, it shines brighter than ever.

Of course, Argento also has golden, diamond-shaped knee plates, triangular foot-cuffs, and grey-outer, white-inner boots. Adorning the holy knight's back are a pair of large wings extending outwards- these wings are somewhat robotic in shape, and are mainly white with multiple "sections" of sorts that can unfold for higher maneuverability. These "sections" are pinned by a golden nail of sorts. Finally, Argento's helmet is predominantly golden, with a triad of curved, pointed "wings" attached –two extend from each side of the helmet slightly behind the ear part and the final wing extends backwards; the gold portion forms the outer part of the helmet, with a white portion exposed on the forehead and a dark-grey mouth-and-nose guard of sorts, leaving Argento's red eyes free to burn into the souls of those who he deems sinners, visibly intimidating anything and everything that the Paladin of Mankind faces off against. With his powerful Celestial Weapon, "Goldblade", which can split into a pair of swords or be joined into a double-ended blade, and his extremely powerful Holy Lightning from which he can forge countless structures and strike with bolts, Argento is more than a force to be reckoned with, with demonkind world-wide fearing his name and his moniker.

Powers and Abilities
.

Physical Abilities
Master Swordsmanship Specialist: As a practitioner of the Thunder and Lightning Peerless God Style (雷電無双神流, Raiden Musōjin-Ryū), Argento is known to be an esteemed swordsman. Indeed, Argento is extremely skilled with a blade; he can effortlessly cut through solid metal and concrete, and can swing the swords faster than the eye can see, striking opponents multiple times in only a few seconds, using two swords at once. Argento extremely attack-oriented and furious in battle, constantly going on the offensive to keep the opponent on-guard at all times, refusing to even consider utilizing a defensive technique or spell such as Counter and supplementary magics in favour of sheer speed and strength; his sword stance is displayed as Argento's hands outwards and bent while he holds the main sword upwards and the left is held in a reverse grip, with Argento spinning it idly when not moving; he's also relatively dexterous, sometimes even spinning one of his blades on a single finger during an attack. He strikes his opponents with great power, dealing countless aggressive bladed strikes while rocketing around the area due to his amazing speed. Argento's fighting style is fairly combo-oriented, and thus, focuses more on dealing consecutive blows instead of having single strikes which deal the full amount of damage, defeating his enemies through a continuous onslaught of two or more strikes for every split second; indeed, he often attacks rapidly side-to-side with wide, sweeping combos that leave little time to block or evade, leaving a trail of light behind in the wake of his slashes.

At the end of many combos, Argento unleashes a powerful dual-outward strike after a delay, leaving shockwaves in the process before dashing forward in order to continue his offensive game. If knocked into the air at any point during battle, Argento often spins vertically forward in midair and falls forward towards the enemy's location with his blades pointed downwards at the opponent, allowing him to retaliate instantly after landing. However, it should also be noted that Argento is extremely powerful as each and every one of his strikes is capable of slicing clean through metal and dealing astounding amounts of damage. By using a minor form of telekinesis, Argento is capable of levitating his dual swords and suspending them within the air- he can also spin them rapidly within both his hands while using the precious seconds that he is whirling his weaponry around rapidly to form a makeshift shield that can defend him against all sorts of projectiles while cutting anything that comes into contact with it. Argento can perform incredibly gentle and subtle movements that would normally be impossible for such an immense pair of blades, like deflecting the course of bullets that were aimed at him with only a slight touch. Yet as well as having the ability to use it to slice up houses or giant masses of ice just by swinging his blade, making a powerful, long-range slice, he is also graceful with the blade enough to knock bullets and change their course with little effort and at great speed. Because of Argento's sword skills, his sword is considered to be an invincible wall; that will deflect any and all attacks aimed at him while giving him a distinct advantage.
 * Thunder and Lightning Peerless God Style (雷電無双神流, Raiden Musōjin-Ryū): The Thunder and Lightning Peerless God Style is a swordsmanship style exclusive to Argento; though it could not really be called a unique beast as it is simply the combination of the blue lightning generated through his Celestial Weapon's Angel Skill and his own incredible swordsmanship skills. The Thunder and Lightning Peerless God Style involves Argento combining both his blade and his lightning by focusing the lightning upon the blade, and thanks to the positive element of lightning, the element is attracted to the negative energy that is emitted by the metal of the blade; as iron, like most metals, consists in the solid phase of a lattice of atoms that are bound together with a "cloud" of freely moving electrons in what is called the conduction energy band. The free moving electrons conduct electricity. When even the smallest voltage, or energy drop, across copper is applied, the electrons simply pass through the iron with very little resistance. In essence, the lack of electrical resistance is what allows the iron to conduct the lightning; and any conductor of electricity must provide some way for charge to move, thus it requires mobility of an electrical charge, such as an electron; Argento compresses it by using an adhesive of solidified magical power to function as a 'case'; keeping it constrained upon the Goldblade; which activates his sword's own ability to enhance his Holy Lightning—this results in a roaring and crackling aura of azure lightning erupting from the Celestial Weapon that causes it to appear twice as large as the sword actually is. By combining the Holy Lightning and his Celestial Weapon with his peerless swordsmanship, each and every one of Argento's strikes become nearly unblockable as the radiating blade can easily cut through steel. It also has the advantage of being able to be used for surprise attacks and capturing; additionally, when the enemy's body is pierced, Argento can alter the sword's shape into multiple additional blades, increasing the number of wounds. The high discharges of lightning are capable of paralyzing the opponent instantly and it is nearly unblockable as the radiating blade can easily cut through steel. Furthermore, if an opponent is stabbed, their body goes numb due to an electrical current which causes the muscles to contract, making it impossible for the opponent to move. With the Thunder and Lightning Peerless God Style, in the heat of battle, electricity can be charged in the blade and be used to make slashes and thrusts deadlier and faster, striking multiple times in the blink of an eye said to be at the speed of lightning crashing down to earth from the skies; and likewise, the electricity compressed upon the Celestial Weapon can be launched as projectiles of all shapes and sizes in different speed and strength for many purposes, but the most common one is paralyzing the enemy before landing a powerful strike in retaliation.
 * Thunder and Lightning Afterglow (雷電残光, Raiden Zankō): Thunder and Lightning Afterglow is the name of Argento's signature attack, and perhaps his most used and most powerful strike with his blades. It is said to be the strongest manifestation of the Thunder and Lightning Peerless God Style, the end-be-all and the absolute limit of how far it can progress- indeed, it is a blow without equal. Thunder and Lightning Afterglow is simply a sword slash energized by lightning coursing throughout the Goldblade, but the intensity of the lightning is pushed to the limits, meaning that it is capable of dealing obscene amounts of damage. In any case, when performing Thunder and Lightning Afterglow, Argento gathers large amounts of magical energies using Alpha and Omega's supernatural particle absorption ability, before he focuses said summoned energies into the lone circular hole on Goldblade. From here, Argento modifies the composition of these energies into that of electrons, which he can alter the movement of, resulting in the manifestation of shining azure lightning that coats the weapon in a lightning aura, enabling Argento to generate lightning for many purposes from various purposes; this lightning pulses and crackles violently near-constantly. Argento condenses the azure lightning to its utmost limit, converging at a singular point—the tip of the sword; intensifying the kinetic energy that is about to be released by convergence and acceleration; causing the lightning to swirl around his weapon, giving it the appearance of an empty hilt which has a large mass of lightning attached to what Argento is holding. Grasping the blade in one of his hands, Argento condenses the lightning to its utmost limit while the knight raises his sword clockwise until he is grasping it above his head, the sword piercing the sky. Compressing the azurite lightning, Argento grips his sword tightly, as he listens for the enemy's heartbeat, focusing his hearing as to hear the enemy's breathing patterns as to assist them in anticipating the foe's next action. Once the foe gets close enough to Argento, almost as if on instinct, Argento will move his hand to the hilt, manipulating his power into the motion of a single swing as he swings down at a speed and power beyond mortal comprehension; the motion of this swing is augmented by Argento transferring the full force of the Holy Lightning as if it were regarded as a mass through the blade, through the air, attacking with a devastating blow that splits the threads of the enemy's future into innumerable pieces. The slash itself is the medium through which the Holy Lightning travels, with the end result manifesting as a devastating strike of lightning beyond lightning released in a focused energized slash that is capable of devastating and destroying his enemy in a single blow; such is its power. The Thunder and Lightning Afterglow is capable of busting through the opponents defenses with relative ease; destroying everything in its path in order to deal a large amount of damage in a single wide swath. This attack will defeat most enemies in a single hit as the sheer force and speed of the slash coupled with the energy unleashed by the swing more often than not results in truly astounding amounts of damage dealt which can render the enemy incapable of standing up again if not killing them outright.
 * Lightning Afterglow: Five Connection Thrust (雷電残光・五連突き, Raiden Zankō: Goren Zuki): Lightning Afterglow: Five Connection Thrust is a modified version of the regular Lightning Afterglow where Argento focuses Holy Lightning upon the Goldblade in a similar manner to that of the normal spell before unleashing a series of five stabs and slashes which completely annihilate an enemy. When performing Thunder and Lightning Afterglow: Five Connection Thrust, Argento gathers large amounts of magical energies using Alpha and Omega's supernatural particle absorption ability, before he focuses said summoned energies into the lone circular hole on Goldblade. From here, Argento modifies the composition of these energies into that of electrons, which he can alter the movement of, resulting in the manifestation of shining azure lightning that coats the weapon in a lightning aura, enabling Argento to generate lightning for many purposes from various purposes; this lightning pulses and crackles violently near-constantly. Argento condenses the azure lightning to its utmost limit, converging at a singular point—the tip of the sword; intensifying the kinetic energy that is about to be released by convergence and acceleration; causing the lightning to swirl around his weapon, giving it the appearance of an empty hilt which has a large mass of lightning attached to what Argento is holding. Grasping the blade in one of his hands, Argento condenses the lightning to its utmost limit while the knight raises his sword clockwise until he is grasping it above his head, the sword piercing the sky. Compressing the azurite lightning, Argento grips his sword tightly, as he listens for the enemy's heartbeat, focusing his hearing as to hear the enemy's breathing patterns as to assist them in anticipating the foe's next action. Once the foe gets close enough to Argento, almost as if on instinct, Argento will move his hand to the hilt, manipulating his power into the motion of a serial of slashes and stabs as he strikes at a speed and power beyond mortal comprehension; the motion of the strikes are augmented by Argento transferring the full force of the Holy Lightning as if it were regarded as a mass through the blade, through the air, attacking with a flurry of devastating blows. The first strike more often than not paralyzes the enemy, leaving their guard wide-open for the oncoming other quartet of sword-derived blows that pierce and slash at the enemy, completely obliterating them without mercy- this technique is highly versatile; Argento is capable of slashing multiple targets at once and, and if he deems it suitable, the damage that he inflicts can be as fatal or as incapacitating as he wishes.

Immense Physical Capabilities: As with all Take Overs, Angel Soul: Shining Cavalier grants the caster the enhanced attributes and abilities of Argento, who they have taken over. All Angels, no matter their size, shape, and height, are well-known for their astounding physical prowess- indeed, generally, an angel possesses superhuman strength at destructive levels, increased agility and superhuman speed when compared to a human or almost any other race- even stronger than a user of Crash or a user of Slayer Magic. An angel's strength is beyond unreal- with a single downward chop, an angel is capable of manifesting a violent tremor that obliterates the ground it comes into contact with and sends their enemies careening across the landscape- their attacks generally hit like an out-of-control dumptruck; smashing their opponents into teeny-tiny pieces like they were made out of some spectacularly shitty plasticine, blowing holes in their bodies through simply thrusting their hands in their direction- the sheer kinetic force released does the rest. In addition, the endurance displayed by an angel enables them to tank spells like those of Curses and Dragon Slayer Magic like it was nothing and ignore all senses of pain—though it should be noted that this varies on the factor of how powerful the blow is; angels have shown the ability to pierce straight through any and every defense in their way, advancing constantly like a fearsome juggernaut whom can change their speeds from a 'menacing stroll' to a 'blindingly fast burst forward'. Each and every one of their strikes rends the earth in twain while stabbing at the skies in the blink of an eye, hitting hard and fast with no real way to comprehend how to properly defend. In accordance with this, angels are known to be relatively tough physically, with a reinforced bodily structure enhanced by the gods who gave them live as a thanks for their eternal servitude. It is shown that angels display no real fear of the opponent's attacks, as they possess an immunity to flinching, shrugging off each and every blow thrown their way while advancing, never slowing down no matter the power of their enemy. It is shown that while they are naturally durable to the point of being capable of surviving several consecutive Abyss Breaks as well as freezing temperatures and heat enough to melt any alloy, though whatever they cannot simply shrug off, they can simply transform into light and evade. Lastly, a body of an angel appears to be made of GOESFAST, forgoing the need for speed-enhancing magics such as High Speed and Slowing Magic, enabling an angel to outstrip almost anyone in a contest of pure speed, moving at such a pace that the untrained eye is incapable of keeping up, much less locating them- something that is only enhanced tenfold when an angel transforms into light.

Magical Abilities
Immense Magical Power: Argento was known to be in possession of truly staggering amounts of magical energy, far beyond most magicians in the current day and age; indeed, when Angel Soul: Shining Cavalier is activated, the caster of the spell has this energy superimposed over their own. As being forged via the hands of the gods, angels are known to possess truly staggering amounts of magical power- so much so, that it is said that they were only recognized as existing through the sheer amount of energy that pulsated throughout the lands whenever they descended upon the mortal plane. Being hewn from light, an angel's magical power is noted to be tremendously thick, heavy and dense, being seen as more a "force of nature" than an aura of energy radiating from their body. Indeed, when any version of Angel Soul is activated, the caster of the spell has this energy superimposed over their own. An angel is known to have natural control over the exertion of their incredible magical power, though it should also be noted that they cannot keep it compressed, instead releasing small to medium level surges constantly; in every waking moment of their existence, an angel's magical energy has a unique property in that it normally saturates the vicinity as intensely crackling golden puffs or clouds of magical power, that usually shifts from the texture of a raging red to a mystical silver; these clouds are the embodiment of an angel's thoughts, brought forth by their absolutely enormous magical power—people will perceive their magical energy all around the area, instead of it originating from the angel's body, leaving them unable to exactly pinpoint the angel's existence. When that power is at it's peak, an overwhelming amount of light is unleashed, causing the vicinity to become alight with a dazzling gold, blinding and striking fear into the hearts of those whom they deem sinners. It is so great it can be felt from a great distance and it has the tendency to make people perspire in fear. Additionally, the sheer aura radiating from the angel's person has the additional effect of affecting entire areas to the point of disrupting spells from enemies, as well as affecting others from seemingly miles away. Magic originates from a Magic Origin (魔原, Magen), which is exactly what the wording indicates—it is a special organ that is located within the body of a magician, that absorbs eternano and bunches it up into clusters, which is processed into magical power. Every magician has a container inside their body that determines the limits of their Magic Power; this is precisely what a Magic Origin is. If the case becomes empty, eternano will come from the atmosphere and enters the magician's body and after a while, their Magic Power is restored. The angels are said to have some of the greatest magical control among the races, effectively becoming one with magic. Because of this, an angel is able to ride "waves" of eternano to essentially "teleport" and fade into nothingness momentarily, as well as absorb ambient eternano in the atmosphere, essentially granting them almost unlimited magical power.
 * Magical Aura (魔力の霊気, Maryoku no Reiki): A Magical Aura is a common term given to the exertion of magical energy into a form outside of the user's body that isn't used in the formation of spells. It has been demonstrated by various mages of varying potency, and is a common means of intimidation. A magical aura is created when the body's container of Eternano particles exceeds the limits of what it contains, or is purposefully released by the user. Upon doing so, the magical energy surges around the body and is exerted outwards in the form of an aura, which holds considerable pressure surrounding it. Depending on the level of magical power one possesses and the control behind it, it can be used as a means to intimidate another individual, or as a preparation for a powerful spell. It should be noted that the density of this aura can cause physical attacks to be repelled with notable ease; Argento's aura almost consumes his in its colour, emitting intense waves of pure magical energy every waking second that it is active, leaving the pressure enough to visibly cause strain on people even from a considerable distance away from the exertion of the aura, indicating at the sheer level of power within this aura; this has the additional effect of affecting entire areas to the point of disrupting spells from enemies, as well as affecting others from seemingly kilometers away. Argento's Magical Aura is said to be around Wizard Saint level in its density, just like the amount of magical energy that he possesses- however, Argento can also surge it outwards to fulfill yet another purpose.
 * AngelSoulSeraphicCavalierAura.png to its fullest extent.]]Angel's Raiment (羽衣, Hagoromo): When Argento unleashes his magical aura to its fullest extent, it forms a thin layer of pressure that can cause people in the vicinity to become intimidated- even if the onlookers are known to be particularly powerful magicians; within the blink of an eye, Argento can surge it outwards when he gets serious. When he decides to go all-out against an attack that he could not defend against normally, by combining his Holy Lightning with his Magical Aura, Argento is capable of forging a makeshift pulsating aura of light which discharges electrical static constantly, taking the form of an ultimate defense- the aura washes over the vicinity like a tidal wave. Nothing much is known about the limits of its defensive power, though it possesses a rather immense duration and durability, more than capable of defending against a spell the likes of Abyss Break with relative ease; this shocking and illuminating shell erupts upwards like a pillar, piercing the skies as the radiance of the whole thing echoes out like a powerful shockwave, more often than not pushing friend and foe alike backwards while doing the same for all sorts of attacks, both of the physical and supernatural variety, forcing away from his body as effortlessly as blinking, making it a sort of defensive maneuver when the regular Defenser won't cut it. It should also be noted that the aura is far wider, and is generally uncontrolled; but his aura isn't limited to intimidation, and can be used for the preparation of a spell. It is also worth noting that the pressure exhibited from such an aura can form a large column of energy, leaving the pressure enough to visibly cause strain on people even from a considerable distance away from the exertion of the aura, indicating at the sheer level of power within this aura.

Alpha and Omega
Alpha and Omega (, Arufa ando Omega lit. Light Magic Variant: Divine Favour, Heaven's Judgment): Alpha and Omega is the name given to the magic utilized by the Angels, both regular and Fallen Angels. As beings hewn from light, molded through the amazing magical energies of a god, it could be said that angels are an embodiment of the arcane themselves. As such, it is well-known that they have a knowledge of magical energies of all kinds comparable to that of their masters, and the potential to use those energies in any way that they deem suitable on a level akin to that of dragonkind, making them exceptionally powerful for existences forged for the purpose of being messengers of the divine. Solely composed of magic and brought to life by the blessings of a god, all forms of magic come naturally to an angel, and while most magicians see magic as a tool to achieve their goals and desires, magic is an integral part of an angel's very being, as they see and use it as an extra limb of sorts. Casting spells and manipulating magical energies comes as easy to an angel as breathing or blinking.

Constructed from magic, all angels are shown to have an understanding of the magical arts that no-one else does- they can casually harness the ambient magical energies within the atmosphere and combine in with their own body or even their magical power to create all sorts of mind-boggling effects with no real upper limit to what can be performed, effectively granting an angel the ability to do battle with an external power. There is no need to induce the mechanics of "proper" forms of magic such as Elemental Magic and types involving weaponry- as long as they can imagine it happening, the magical energies surrounding their bodies will modify themselves to fit the angel's very thoughts. To a being constructed from the arcane itself, in this case, an angel, there is absolutely zero difference between eternano and magical power in regards to their purpose as a source of power- indeed, angels consistently have the power to manipulate all kinds of magical particles and masses to perform a multitude of abilities, whether they be offense, defense, or supplementary. In any case, once an angel gains control over any form of supernatural arcane energy, it is instantly converted into their composition- that of what is referred to as "light".

Alpha and Omega is considered a "light beyond light", a divine power that transcends the concept of an "element", going further until that "light" is considered an existence that permeates throughout all dimensions, known far and wide as the "Light of Judgment" (裁きの光, Sabaki no Hikari), a holy shine beyond mortal comprehension that descended upon those with wicked hearts, cleansing all in its wake- the Alpha and Omega is said to be miraculous and can wash away the sins of those struck by it with a divine shine. In any case, when inducing Alpha and Omega, like all forms of Light Magic, the caster activates the magic by taking the 'magic = feelings' concept to the fullest—by fuelling their magic with positive feelings, the angel is capable of initiating the usual fusion of eternano and magical power, only manifesting magical power in a light and benevolent nature; drawing from the inner feelings of the humanity to purify the world off all its evils and mistakes, like a beacon of hope. This results in incredible quantities of light being formed around their bodies, far beyond what any other form of light-based magic can generate in both quantity and quality; its power is more than enough to raze straight through any and every defense; it can be considered an existence akin to the divine light of a god raining down upon those whom are deemed sinful.

The Alpha and Omega is rumoured to be the precursor to the Three Great Fairy Magics, ', ', and . Originally, all three magics were a special art of the Fairy Tail Guild, known as the strongest Legal Guild in Fiore. The Three Great Fairy Magics were a symbol of their fierce power and warm kindness; many were wary of these powerful magics, and over the course of history, many had attempted to replicate such an incredible power, but to no avail. In the case of the Alpha and Omega, it is said to be the "origin" of the lights which deal absolute destruction to the user's enemies while guarding their allies; while it is unsure if this is true or not, one thing is for use- the magic is extremely powerful. Each and every single photonic particle that composes the rays of Alpha and Omega is said to be a merciless light that rejects the presence of any foes, burning enemies completely and utterly- against demons, as the archenemy of angels, Alpha and Omega is capable of killing most weaker ones just via contact- it can also free humans from possession by demons while destroying anything that the caster considers evil and saves all that the caster considers good, more than living up to the kanji in its name which mean "Heaven's Judgment".

It can be said that a spell such as  would not remain unscathed through direct contact with the light released by an angel. Indeed, the light unleashed by an angel can burn straight through all forms of magic-based defenses and other alloy-based structures, no matter the composition- upon contact with an opposing source of light, the light released by the angels devour them and use the miniscule amounts of energy (in comparison) in order to empower the speed and strength of the ongoing attack, busting through everything and anything in its way, ripping through any chances of defense like wet rice paper, the light released by Alpha and Omega, whether it's cipher or photons, is truly an embodiment of "divine retribution", a single strike will land without fail and vaporize anything in its way in a split second with a power output considered akin to that of the Magic Council's secret weapon, the Satellite Square: Etherion; but not only this, the process of using Alpha and Omega results in a powerful aftereffect known as Seraphic Feather (, Serafikku Fezā lit. Amnesia-Inducing Golden Plumage), which results in numerous feathers of golden light scattering from the lights- if the feathers touched anyone even by accident, they would lose their memories of the appearance of the angel. Alpha and Omega can be used in ways that are thought to be impossible by the standards of mortal keen, making them tricky opponents, befitting their status as messengers of the gods.

Celestial Weapon: Goldblade
Celestial Weapon: Goldblade (, Seresucharu Uepon: Gōrudoburēdo lit. Light-Forged Armament of the Divine: Sword of Promised Victory): The Goldblade is the name of Argento's Celestial Weapon- it is the strongest, holiest, and most majestic sword which is said to be the embodiment of the wishes of mankind. The Goldblade is regarded as a pinnacle of Celestial Weapons, and like Argento himself, the weapon was forged by the planet as the crystallization of the wishes of mankind stored and tempered within Earth Land's Ley lines. Overall, the Goldblade appears as a large oversized khyber knife with a sterling blade and a single circular hole near the hand-guard, with the blade curving inwards at the backside of the tip- the entire blade is gilded in gold. The golden hand-guard has a deep crimson lower grip and the upper part of the guard is hewn in the shape of an 'L'. Something to note is that the no matter which one of the two forms it is in, the Goldblade looks exactly the same. The Goldblade is commonly split into two and stashed on the holsters on each of the knight's golden armour plates on his hips. When separated, the Goldblade is referred to being in Dual-Blade Form (双剣形, Sōkenkei); but when combined into a single weapon, they are designated as the Single-Blade Form (一剣形, Hikenkei), at which point, they become double the size.

In any form, the Goldblade is known to be exceptionally strong and durable, cleanly slicing through all forms of magical attacks without the blade being pushed away in the slightest, making it quite effective in blocking and deflecting many sorts of incoming attacks. Even when stepped on by a giant, the Goldblade shows no signs of having withstood any amount of physical trauma, displaying immunity to being crushed. The weapon, no matter the form, is capable of cleaving straight through almost any other form of alloy, bursting any other opposing weapon that it comes into contact with- many note that just by touching the Goldblade, they feel as if their own armaments would shatter into innumerable fragments in the blink of an eye, even if they launched the attack in the first place. On occasion, Argento uses the wide blade of the Celestial Weapon as a physical shield, and as a lightning rod. Through mental command alone, Argento is capable of instantly summoning his Goldblade back to his hands if they were to fall from his grasp. Even though, as the name would indicate, the Goldblade is indeed a sword, the weapon has the capacity to be used as a rifle of sorts for the Thundering Bullet (雷鳴弾, Raimeidan) attack, where he points the weapon forward and focuses Holy Lightning at the tip of the Goldblade before launching it in the form of a pulsing sphere of lightning that flies forth at high speeds which he can direct mentally, though Argento has used it in that fashion exceedingly rarely.

Angel Skill: Holy Lightning
Angel Skill: Holy Lightning (天使術・雷光, Tenshijutsu: Raikō): Holy Lightning is the name of the Goldblade's, and by proxy, Argento's, Angel Skill; it allows him to generate large amounts of azurite lightning which he can manipulate to his own liking. When inducing Holy Lightning, Argento gathers large amounts of magical energies using Alpha and Omega's supernatural particle absorption ability, before he focuses said summoned energies into the lone circular hole on Goldblade. From here, Argento modifies the composition of these energies into that of electrons, which he can alter the movement of, resulting in the manifestation of shining azure lightning that coats the weapon in a lightning aura, enabling Argento to generate lightning for many purposes from various purposes; this lightning pulses and crackles violently near-constantly. Such distinctive "blue lightning" possesses high voltage and great destructive power, and, much like that employed in standard Lightning Magic, can be generated in places away from Argento. As a major part of the Lightning and Thunder Peerless God Style, it is well-known that electricity generated from Angel Skill: Holy Lightning can be charged in the blade and be used to make slashes and thrusts more deadly. Likewise, the electricity in the blade can be launched as projectiles in different speed and strength.

Argento is also capable of utilizing lightning from a distance, such as from the ground near him, or down from the sky. Like regular lightning magic, Holy Lightning works by electrocuting the opponents to various degrees, and there are spells that are said to be capable of completely paralyzing enemies, due to the extremely high voltage of the electricity employed in their use. Because of the high amounts of light produced with its use, Holy Lightning can also be utilized to blind opponents, albeit for a short amount of time. Argento is capable of propelling himself around at high speeds in order to gain extra momentum; as he can create lightning orbs around his blade before connecting slashes, increasing his striking power in a way similar to most other elemental magician, allowing him to move around much faster, propelling himself towards his opponents, by surrounding his entire body with lightning, and empowering his connecting strikes by summoning forth lightning from the sky to accompany his motions. In addition to these properties, the bright light from the lightning can be also used to momentarily blind enemies.

The maximum power output of Holy Lightning is around twenty billion volts; this is powerful enough to cause city-wide blackouts. Aside from this, it seems that the lightning generated by the Angel Skill is far swifter and powerful than any normal Lightning Magic, eerily similar to that of the user of Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic in both power and potential. In addition, it seems that Holy Lightning is capable of absorbing opposing sources of lightning in order to make it both phenomenally faster and stronger; making it near-invincible and making Argento an absolute terror to fight against. Because of this enormous amount of power, Angelo constantly generates electrical fields that cause sensitive animals such as cats and dogs physical discomfort whenever they are near him, and he can sense anything that approaches him when an object reflects the electromagnetic waves, granting him a sixth-sense of sorts. As a final note, the lightning generated through the Angel Skill is unable to be consumed by a user of Slayer Magic as the sheer voltage of his personalized lightning would cause it to overwhelm the opponent's lungs, making it even deadlier to the opponent than it normally is. The properties of Holy Lightning, as a slight modification to the supernatural particle absorption ability of Alpha and Omega results in the lightning possessing anti-energy properties meaning that it doesn't negate ambient magical energy in the atmosphere; it destroys it outright, making it the ultimate bane to those who solely focus on the ways of the arcane.
 * Holy Lightning Dragon (雷光龍, Raikōryū): Holy Lightning Dragon is the name of the only real Holy Lightning spell to exist- it is a mass of azurite lightning shaped like an Eastern Dragon which is directed towards Argento's opponent. When performing Holy Lightning Dragon, Argento discharges multiple surges of lightning, adding his own eternano into the mixture which binds together, creating a tight harness in order to allow Argento to draw power from the thunder clouds above the sky and controlling it with his magical power. Argento at first raises both his arms to the heavens and then summons the necessary power and shapes the lightning using his own magical power, forcing it to converge together into the form of a demonic lightning creature; a large dragon with enormous fangs and shining red eyes with a symbol, the lightning bolt, on its forehead, and also holding two lightning bolts in each of its hands. The dragon gives a mighty roar as it charges; the dragon towers over many structures; and due to its size, it is near impossible to avoid the Holy Lightning Dragon when it attacks; making it incredibly dangerous. Because the lightning delivers a powerful blow whenever it comes into contact with the opponent, to prevent constant and unnecessary catastrophe, the dragon hardens its exterior and cools the magical particles at its surface, tempering the exterior of the large lightning construct. By doing this, the dragon can move freely and come into contact with an object without exploding into a massive lightning discharge. The immense size of the Holy Lightning Dragon enables it to easily get in a position in which the opponent cannot escape the resulting dispersion of lighting such as by constricting the attacker. Because this is also natural lightning, it will travel more quickly than many warriors could dodge. Holy Lightning Dragon on the other hand is a trail of carnage carved by brute force. It can be said that the Holy Lightning Dragon is saved as a last resort because of its enormous destructive power and consumption of magical energy; it is a frightening spell and is usually undefeatable except by stronger ultimate spells. Because it requires open access to the sky, this spell cannot be used underground and due to its destructive properties it is best not used in a crowded area since anyone within the vicinity will be affected by it. Additionally, the spell can be focused into a stream to attack a single target; or splitting into four separate dragons. However, such focus requires immense proficiency with the spell beforehand. Argent can also create a much smaller version of the technique by drawing in less power from the thunder clouds than he usually would, this decreases the power of the technique but in doing so, allows him to use it several times in small amounts.

Heavenly Ascension
Heavenly Ascension (, Hebunri Asenshon lit. Supremely and Ultimately Authorized by Divine Providence): Heavenly Ascension refers to the state in which all of an Angel's powers are drastically enhanced- it is an expansion of their current form and a temporary "evolution" of sorts, considered akin to the "Force" of many Slayer Magics and a Full Body Take Over of those who practice Take Over, designated the "form of which an angel's limiters are fully released", and the pinnacle of their already outstanding power. While it is said to be similar to those modes, Heavenly Ascension can also be said to be nothing like them, as they, Force in particular, are a relic of the past, as they are quite fragile in comparison before the concept of antibodies was created to eliminate the drawbacks. In comparison to other powered-up states, Heavenly Ascension does not drain a large amount of magical energy, and a sufficiently powerful angel is capable of activating it and deactivating it several times a day.

The standard method for an angel to activate Heavenly Ascension is by absorbing more and more magical energy into their Magic Origin, causing an evolution that results in the angel's appearance and attributes changing, making it significantly stronger than it was before. Additionally, all of their physical attributes are bolstered enormously; far beyond their base statistics; their speed has been increased tremendously, they can jump much higher than usual, and an angel has improved reflexes to match their improved movements. Their physical strength is also increased vastly, allowing them to smash through large demons, break enormous metal restraints without effort, and even stun a Primordial Demon with a single punch. Heavenly Ascension allows an angel to release their full supernatural potential; and in this form, many of their physical and magical attributes are amplified, the angel has access to upgrades or even additions to their normal abilities like flying or hovering.

Lastly, the transformation enhances all of the angel's regular spells, greatly increasing their area-of-effect as well as improving their damage significantly. Additionally, the magical energy absorption ability of Alpha and Omega is exponentially increased; devouring trees, rocks, buildings, and even opposing supernatural spells in order to fuel the angel's own attacks. It should be taken into consideration that Heavenly Ascension is not a natural technique; rather, an angel must train to attain it, and even then, it is extremely taxing on an angel's stamina to keep it activated for long periods for the first few times of transformation. Despite the extreme modifications to the angel's bodies, their consciousness remains unchanged. After undergoing Heavenly Ascension, the angel gains various additions to their form, such as armour or weaponry- or their body may just change completely to the point of being unrecognizable. However, an angel can only stay in their Heavenly Ascension form until their energy is depleted, and if an angel does not absorb enough magical energy needed to maintain the form, it will not be able to retain that form for long and revert to their previous form in a matter of time.

Argento's Heavenly Ascension is referred to as Heavenly Ascension: Paladin Liberator (, Hebunri Asenshon: Paradin Ribereitā lit. Supremely and Ultimately Authorized by Divine Providence: Awakened Knightly Emperor of Mankind's Wishes); it is activated by a similar process for transforming into Argento in the first place; a burst of light envelops Argento's frame in its entirety, morphing their physiology into something more accommodating for the transformation so that all objectives can be checked off. The masses of light converged upon Argento's body compress before being released in a pulse of crackling lightning which ascends into the skies, taking the shape of a golden pillar that pierces the heavens themselves before quickly dissipating, revealing Argento in an evolved form. Argento, as Heavenly Ascension: Paladin Liberator, has his wings transform into a silver mandala of sorts as the armour he is clad in turns almost completely silver as a contrast to his regular form's abundance of gold- his body becomes far more mechanical in terms of aesthetic; while most of the bodily appearance remains, what is gold becomes silver. In this form, Argento possesses the ability to summon five replications of his Celestial Weapon, Goldblade, between each of his fingers, using them like claws. Not only this, his attributes have been pushed to their utmost limit, making him more than capable of matching and overpowering almost anyone or anything in this form.
 * Raintive Orion (, Reintibu Orion lit. All-Devouring and Enslaving Vacuum of Holy Magical Energy): Raintive Orion is an enhancement of Alpha and Omega's magical energy absorption ability, taken to extremes and to the point that it becomes a spell on its own, resulting in an extremely powerful, yet incredibly simplistic ability; that harnesses an angel's most basic ability to gather supernatural energies in the most powerful way; by enslaving it- it is a spell that is only available in Heavenly Ascension. When performing Raintive Orion, the angel unleashes a powerful pulse of their Magical Aura, which possesses such an intensity that anything that the pulse comes into contact with begins to fracture and break apart into the particles that composed them which then react with the surrounding ambient energies in the atmosphere and transform into more supernatural energies- the angel can then in a sense absorb the surrounding structures, by transforming breaking down eternano and absorbing them, including the components which make up supernatural based objects, such as those which make up anything powered by Lacrima, transforming them into their strength for an indefinite period of time. In Heavenly Ascension, an angel's absolutely precise control over the eternano is incredibly impressive, as they can break down everything that is born from eternano within milliseconds and utilize it as a fuel to power their eternano-based techniques. It can literally tear away the components which make up objects, such as those which make up magic and structures, as well as the bodies of supernatural beings- when the body of a magical being is affected by this power, the user can assume the characteristics and associated capabilities of their victim; however, some angels modify the technique so that they do not take on beastly or undesirable appearances, and rather takes on more subtle visual changes- even so, such a transformation is not permanent, as the power is eventually used up and vanishes into thin air. Not only this, as it absorbs all supernatural energies, the activation of Raintive Orion results in the sapping of the vitality of magicians who are in the vicinity, draining them of their magical power by one Edea for every second that they are in the technique's range, allowing the angel to absorb it and utilize it for themselves, essentially serving as a life-drain effect. If it is hewn from the arcane, Argento can absorb the trees, sand, rocks, and even the buildings if they are composed of magic; showing no upper limit to what he can and cannot absorb. As long as it is mystical in nature, then Argento can subjugate it to his will; even absorbing opposing magical attacks and turning them into a source of energy. For this, Argento is said to be an extremely powerful angel; with a skill far beyond that of many, many others.
