Appearance Īscalon has the appearance of a European sword with a reddish-purple grip and a golden hilt with stylized crosses at the edges of the guard. Issei received another version of Ascalon II referred to as a prototype, which no one else could wield since Ascalon II was created for him alone and stored in his tail as the Tail Blade using it as a sneak attack.

Issei had received a newer version of Ascalon from the Alchemists of the Church referred to "Ascalon II" crafted after receiving the techniques from the Three Factions, but it is considered more of a dragon sword since the aura seems to suit him more, which was stored in his right gauntlet. Later on, instead of using the actual sword Issei started to transfer the dragon-slaying ability of Ascalon to his punches and attacks. Issei was able to send Ascalon to Kiba to wield through his evil piece after his "death", thus temporarily transforming one of his pawn pieces into the holy sword to defeat Siegfried. įrom time to time, Issei has lent Ascalon to Xenovia for situations which Durandal is either unusable or unsuited to, or to use it alongside Durandal in combat. He primarily uses the sword in situations where cutting a target is needed, countering swordsmen, or against Dragons and Dragon-related beings. Issei received the sword from the leader of the Angels, the Archangel Michael, prior to the meeting of the Three Factions, after modification ceremonies from the Three Factions, Issei could wield it, and stored it inside of his Boosted Gear.

It was previously kept by the Church along with the Durandal and the Excaliburs. Ascalon is the holy sword that Saint George used to kill a Dragon.
