[[A Knight Does Not Die With Empty Hands (A++)]: An ability Noble Phantasm that grants the attribute to everything he holds, resulting them to become so called "Pseudo Noble Phantasms". Be it an iron pole or an aircraft fighter, it will be treated as a Rank D Noble Phantasm, even though it is considered a Pseudo Noble Phantasm, or Pseudo Phantasm for short.]
[A knight Does Not Die With Empty Hands (A++)] is basically Lancelot's Noble Phantasm, Berserker in Fate/Zero, turned into a Skill.
Any item that Drako considers as a weapon, this one will "evolve" to become a D-range Noble Phantasm. For example, Drako can use this Skill to improve his arrows when he's going to use [Gandiva].
Drako didn't know how this Skill differed from its Noble Phantasm version, but there was no point in asking the difference. Of all the skills that could be obtained, Drako was sure that this was one of the best.
And [Battle Continuation] was another very useful skill, and Drako was sure it would be useful in the future.
[Battle Continuation (A)] and [A Knight Does Not Die With Empty Hands (A++)] are two skills that Drako didn't expect at all. As a skill, he expected something like [Breath of Darkness], that is, he expected a direct attack or direct defence skill. Instead, he has received two skills that may be very useful in the near future.
Having infinite [Noble Phantasm] D-rank for only one MP point per arrow is a noticeable increase in Drako's fighting strength at this time. Of course, a D-range Noble Phantasm has its limits, but Drako is more than satisfied with what he's got.
"I wonder if I can improve the arrows even more..."
That's what Drako had in mind right now.
[Gandiva] It was the bow used by Arjuna, Indra's son, and it had amazing power. Until now, Drako had only used it as a normal bow. You could probably only show the true power of [Gandiva] by calling its true name, or that was the idea Drako had at first. But now, he wasn't so sure.
Legend says that every time an arrow was shot with [Gandiva], it lit up like a celestial being and few people could look at it. Every time an arrow was shot there was the sound of thunder.
Drako's [Gandiva] did nothing of the sort. It was as if something was still missing. As if Drako had to take one more step to awaken the true potential of the best bow ever created.
Drako didn't know what it was, but he had to find whatever would make [Gandiva] become the heavenly weapon of domination he once was, the bow that took the lives of warriors and gods alike.
.....
Once the two skills had been obtained, Drako went straight to the [Noble Phantasm] section.
Which Noble Phantasm suited Drako best at this point?
Drako didn't know much about Fate Grand Order, but he knew that the Noble Phantasm list was huge.
From a floating fortress, a sacred sword, or a demon spear.
Numerous possibilities and very few of them were bad.
In fact, were there any that were really bad?

Golden Drive?
This was a [Noble Phantasm] that Drako didn't know anything about.
Golden Drive...
Golden Drive...
Nothing, it didn't sound like Fate's anime, nor any mythology or history of the past.
"[Sage], give me the description of the [Noble Phantasm]"
[Yes]
[Golden Drive is Sakata Kintoki's cherished mount Golden Bear Mk. 1, a large motorcycle imbued with Raijin's power. Bound to him when summoned as a Rider, it possesses the ability to transform by its very nature, reconfigured in particular during this summoning to its "Super Accel Assault Mode" to perform a "super charging dash attack" during the release of its true name.
Its horsepower is two million, according to Kintoki, and it possesses as top speed of 2500 KM/H, around Mach 2. Its tires are Raijin's transformed hand drums, and their power rise with each revolution. Kintoki's Rider summoning is one in which his "disposition as the child of a thunder god has been emphasized. As such, "there is a possibility that he has turned into a more 'dangerous man' than when a Berserker as a result." It can be said that "he got caught up in the mood by driving a monster machine."]
Apparently, [Sage] is a lover of finding information and getting it straight from the internet. Who can blame him?
[Golden Drive has a special attack, called [Golden Drive - Good Night]
Golden Drive - Good Night: Night Wolf Deadly Nine - Golden Dash is a charge attack utilizing Golden Bear, wreathing itself in lightning to run down his opponents. As the tires' lighting grows more powerful as they rotate, it becomes more powerful the farther it travels, reaching a maximum speed hundreds of times that of its normal 2500 KM/S.]
"2500 KM/S?"
If the 2500 KM/H this Noble Phantasm has is crazy, the 2500KM/S is directly indescribable.
Basically, go around the entire earth in a straight line in 16 seconds.
"Is this a B-range Noble Phantasm? Impossible, it has to have some kind of limit."
Although Drako can't see it right now, he can use [Status Inspection] on the Noble Phantasm.

"900 meters. Still, that means I have a method of going almost a kilometre in less than half a second. Even without calling out the real name, this Noble Phantasm is amazing."
Drako's luck seemed to be pretty good lately. Not just the skills, but it looked like the [Noble Phantasm] was going to be pretty good.
Now, who the hell is Sakata Kintoki?
It looked like Drako was going to have to do some research in the future. He already knew who Atalante was even before he got his [Noble Phantasm], but he was totally unaware of Arjuna's existence. It was not until after some research that he discovered his position as one of the great heroes of Hindu mythology.
Now, his new Noble Phantasm comes from the legend of Sakata Kintoki. By his name, this must be a Japanese person, so maybe one of the new members of Valina's house knows something about him.
The first [Noble Phantasm] is a motorcycle, and a pretty fast one at that. Drako wasn't going to complain since he had no reason to. In fact, he was quite happy.
He didn't know why he always had a bad feeling every time he thought of the Gacha. Maybe it was a trauma from his past life? A trauma from that past life that he doesn't remember because of a certain goddess?
Leaving aside the subject of this [Noble Phantasm], Drako went straight for the second one.
Maybe on the fourth attempt, he can get a [Noble Phantasm] EX rating.

[[Noble Phantasm: Aigis (A)] obtained]
Looks like today wasn't the day Drako was going to get an EX rank on something. So far, the most he's gotten is an A++ range in one of the skills.
Now, this [Noble Phantasm] sounded a little more like Drako.
From Greek mythology, more specifically from the Iliad, it's the shield of Athena. And she later passed it on to Odysseus.
Drako assumed that this [Noble Phantasm] belonged to the Heroic Spirit Odysseus.
Clank!
Drako didn't have time to ask [Sage] for more details about this [Noble Phantasm] when metal pieces of armour started appearing on his body. The pieces were joining together, slowly forming a platinum-coloured metal armour. Finally, the armour continued to grow toward his head, ending in a kind of helmet.
Before he could react, he was wrapped in light armour. I say light because Drako did not feel the weight of the armour at all.
"[Sage], what's going on?"
[These are the results of the Noble Phantasm Aigis.]
"As expected, this is the Noble Phantasm. Instead of materializing as a shield, it's materialized as an armour. You know, [Sage], give me the information about this [Noble Phantasm]"
[Aigis: Divine Corpus Boundary Field. A defensive armament which was created by the Gods of Olympus. It has been at times referred to as a set of armour, or a shield. Originally a conceptualized defence used by the Gods, which is essentially an extremely formidable barrier. However, thanks to the affection Odysseus receives from Athena, it can be worn by him as a physical suit of "armour".
In other words, it is an invincible set of armour which carries the conceptualized defences of the Gods.
A continuously-active Noble Phantasm.]
"Just as I thought, it is a continuously-active Noble Phantasm. But why do I spend MPs when I use it?"
Yes, continuous use of [Aigis] does not waste a single point of MP. That's surprising, considering that it's an A-range Noble Phantasm. It also doesn't have a "True Name", a special ability, as do [Gandiva] and [Golden Driver]. It's just as [Sage] describes it, an "absolute" defence.
Of course, everything has its limits.
The amount of defence this [Noble Phantasm] has is amazing, but it is directly linked to Drako's magic power.

[Suggestion, you can mix the [Noble Phantasm: Aigis] with the [Special Skill Dragon: Scales]. Mix?]
"Merging a skill with a Noble Phantasm? Can you do that?"
[In order to merge a Noble Phantasm with a skill, they have to have a minimum of rapport. In this case, the function of [Dragon Scales] and [Aigis] is the same. The effects are unknown, but an estimated 99.9% improvement in the user's defensive skills is achieved].
"Fusion."
Drako didn't hesitate at all when he gave the order. If merging the Skill with the [Noble Phantasm] means improving the defence, then there was no reason not to do it.

"Skill effects."
[Attacks that are at or below the level of the user's defence will be completely cancelled. Attacks that double the user's defence will be neutralized by 70%]
Drako didn't know what to think at this point.
On the one hand, he was very happy with the outcome of this fusion. For one thing, he was virtually immune to attacks containing power on the level of a High-Class Devil. And now, the Ultimate Class Devils powerhouse is only going to do half as much damage. That's certainly not bad, considering as soon as he goes up a few levels that will extend to the level of the Seraph and Cadre.
Before, his Dragon's Scales at Lv 6 just neutralize 60% of the damage done by an attack of the same level of his defence. Dragon Scales was a skill that only levels up with Drako's evolution, so it would be really difficult to level it up later.
On the other hand, he was sure that Aigis could protect him from the attacks of at least the Ultimate-Class by himself. Or at most receive 10% of the damage at most.
[User doesn't have to think that way. If the user had chosen not to merge the skills, Aigis would be totally useless to the user once he reached a certain level of defense. Now that Aigis is merged with your body, it will grow with you until your final moments.]
"You mean [Aigis] couldn't stop a certain level of attack no matter how much my magic power grew?"
[That's right. Every Noble Phantasm has a limit. There will come the point where the user's own strength is greater than the power you can use from a Noble Phantasm. When that point is reached, bows, swords, shields, fighting techniques, etc., will all be useless in the face of absolute strength. But that's different with Aigis now that it's merged with your own scales]
---------------------
Point any mistake that you see through the all Aigis concept. I can change it in the future the whole concept.
I just thought that it was cool to fuse the ability with the Noble Phantasm.
