The Ancient Knight is the collective name for a series of assault rifles used by the early Descendants during the onset of the Apocalypse. These iconic weapons were made by disassembling holy relics guarded by the Knights of Humanity and implanting them into firearms.
From among them, the 47th model of the Ancient Knight,
with its mechanical simplicity and superb durability, was very helpful to the early Descendants who were learning the firearm weapons system.
The relic parts, which had a long history with humanity, also contributed to increasing the Arche synchronization rate.
These weapons happened to match tactically with Serena's Arche, which showed exceptional performance when optimized for aerial assaults.
The exclusive winged ornamentation is a badge of honor, symbolizing this optimization.
The design of these relic weapons was an experimental attempt to make technology less intimidating to a humanity that was just beginning to radically modernize. It also helped to boost performance by harnessing the Arche that had accumulated, without their knowledge, in the relics over the years.
However, contrary to the initial intentions as a desperate stopgap measure, the relic implants performed far better than anyone expected and became the ultimate weapon system that could not be mass-produced today, due to the technology involved being lost.
