[ABILITIES]

He likewise has the qualifications to exist summoned under the Rider class. Saber of Blackness is highly praised and powerful Servant and all of his concrete stats are as well very high. He is often chosen "invincible" and "immortal", by both the Masters of the Blackness Faction and Ruler alike. Lancer of Black tells Ruler that information technology would not be an overstatement to telephone call Siegfried the cornerstone of the Black Faction's entire strategy. He is amend known for having killed the rather powerful dragon Fafnir and bathing in his claret. This makes him an extremely dangerous entity to all dragonkind, as well as whatsoever Servants with dragon attributes, such every bit Artoria Pendragon.

He is able to keep Rider of Red busy for a long time, despite not being able to harm him due to his lack of Divinity. The starting time time that Sieg drew upon his power with his Expressionless Count Command Seals, he is able to best Saber of Red until her Master reinforces her with a Command Spells despite not being at full strength because of Sieg'southward inexperience as a warrior.

[ARMOUR OF FAFNIR]

Armor of Fafnir: Blood Armor of the Evil Dragon (悪竜の血鎧アーマー・オブ・ファヴニール, Āmā obu Favunīru: Akuryū no Chiyoroi?) is an ability that embodies and re-enacts the legend of Siegfried bathing in dragon-claret from Fafnir, granting him a dragon's body with invulnerability that made all weapons ineffective confronting him during his life. Having swallowed the blood every bit well, it circulates throughout his body and affects his organs, afterward affecting Sieg upon transplanting his middle into the homunculus. Dyed brown with Fafnir'due south blood and equanimous of dragon scales, his skin is compared to steel in strength, unable to be wounded by either weapons or magic except with the greatest of attacks. Called invincible in life until struck downwardly by his friend, information technology acquired him to lose the joy of battle because information technology did not allow him to feel the sensation of struggling against death, his trunk proofed against any and all attacks making information technology possible to slaughter enemies without much thought like uncomplicated labor.

His pare is able to cancel concrete attacks and magic equivalent to B-rank or lower, assuasive him to take hits to vital areas without worry.

His swordsmanship is considered to take long surpassed the realm of humanity. He is able to swing the massive greatsword at high speed, with but the smallest of movements, taking advantage of every gap in his opponent's attacks. He tin can defend against a large portion of Karna's attacks without having to rely on his durability and is able to hit Karna numerous times, to the signal that by the cease of their battle, both warriors were "covered from head to toe with a thousand light, recovering wounds", to say cipher that they had both already healed countless times during the progress of their fight, however, it is noted that Karna slightly surpasses him when it comes to shut combat skill.

He is besides skilled plenty, so that even with his powers reduced when manifesting himself using Sieg, he is able to use a disarming maneuver on Mordred, coiling his blade around hers and nearly launching Clarent from her hands, earlier following upwards with a 2-handed slash that cutting through her armor and slashed her abdomen.

Regarding his physical force, it is high enough to give Karna greater injuries than what the spears from Lancer of Black were able to give him, because that each of these spikes had no difficulty stabbing through Berserker of Red'due south armor-like muscles. He is able to have a powerful, two handed slash from Mordred with just one arm and not giving weight to her great strength.

[BALMUNG]

Balmung: Phantasmal Greatsword, Felling of the Sky Demon (幻想大剣・天魔失墜バルムンク, Barumunku: Gensō Daiken, Tenma Shittsui?) is a 2-handed, golden greatsword with a blue jewel embedded in the hilt that boasts a magnificence and enormity possible only for weapons tended to by inhuman easily.

[QUOTES]

"Ah, the state of affairs is across my control. Hagen, I am invincible and so have never once been wounded by you lot. But fifty-fifty so, if I don't have you kill me…"

"I lived and died every bit a hero. I have no regrets well-nigh that in itself. I can declare that there was non a single disagreeable thing in my life. Even and so, I can't help but think. If I weren't a prince, if I were merely an ordinary man. Wouldn't I have been able to earnestly pursue my own will? Information technology doesn't matter if I'k not best-selling past anyone. I don't mind if I'one thousand non praised past anyone. I want to acknowledge myself. I want to have pride in myself. In that location lies what I sought. What I wished for. I want to stand up on the side of what I believe in. If I could do that, then surely—I would exist able to live with my chest puffed up proudly. I won't fight for the sake of someone else. I won't fight for my ain sake either. For the sake of the benevolence that I believe in, the justice I believe in, the loyalty I believe in, and the honey I believe in. I volition take hold of this sword and fight with this body. That is my dream, my wish. I——want to be an ally of justice."
