Archangels

The Archangels (大天使) or the Mobile Angels (機動天使) are the spirits of the X-Laws. They are a type of Tsukumogami, created from various vehicles that gained a spirit.

About
The Archangels were created by having a priest call upon the spirits of the real Archangels and then through a hard process, fusing them with the spirits of the cars, thus giving birth to mechanical nature spirits. In truth, it was Luchist Lasso who once ventured into a higher areas within the Great Spirit, and took "pieces" of the real Archangels and brought to this world to create the artificial angels.

Michael and Lucifer were created from cars that gained their own spirit. Asakura Yoh speculates that the cause of this was some kind of importance to Marco and Luchist.

Marco himself reveals that the true form of the Archangels is their car form. Using the Over Soul, the Archangel's car form can be driven by their Shamans.

Their main ability is to shatter other spirits when they attack them, as seen when Michael impales Boris Tepes Dracula and makes him disappear.

Michael
O.S. "Archangel Michael" (O.S. アークエンジェル・ミカエル Ākuenjeru Mikaeru) Description: According to The Book of Revelation, Michael was a brave archangel that led a group of angels.
 * Shaman: Marco Lasso
 * O.S. Type: Spirit Type
 * Spirit Ally: Michael
 * Reiyoku Level: 20,000
 * Medium used: Sword No-001 "Marco Full Auto 9" - A 9mm bullet shot from a modified Beretta 93R.

In its archangel form, it has a slim body wielding a sword and carrying a large shield on its left shoulder with a weight scale and a pentagram of five stars imprinted on it. It is easily able to break Harusame, when Asakura Yoh attacks Marco to protect Bill Burton. It is first seen impaling Boris Tepes Dracula with its sword and later uses its powers to shatter his body and soul completely.

Michael originates from a red '92 Ferrari Testarossa that was so important to Marco, it gained a spirit. Marco explains that his Testarossa was created for someone who was very rich and is most likely the last of its kind in the world. Aside from its angelic powers, it can also be turned into an Over Soul shaped as the sports car it originally was.

Attacks


 * Archangels Fire (アークエンジェルズ): This attack involves Marco and the other X-Laws lining up and taking aim with their weapons and then simultaneously launching all of their Archangels at the same target. By using all seven Archangels, this attack becomes strong enough to cripple and even send almost any person into a near-death state. This attack seems to use a minimal amount of Furyoku and it happens so fast that barely anyone sees it before it is over. It is called Ray of Light in the English version of the 2001 anime series.


 * Death Penalty: Marco fires Michael from his gun, and the archangel swings its sword at the target.

O.S. "Fake Marco" Description: During Marco's final battle with Luchist, it is revealed that by using his glasses as a medium to materialize Michael, that this Over Soul can create an exact replica of Marco. However, the ability has a small weakness in the fact that the Over Soul cannot produce a shadow, meaning an opponent could make use of this to deduce who is the real Marco.
 * Shaman: Marco Lasso
 * O.S. Type: Spirit Type
 * Spirit Ally: Michael
 * Medium used: Marco's Glasses

Zelel
O.S. "Archangel Zelel" (O.S. アークエンジェル・ゼルエル Ākuenjeru Zerueru) Description: Zelel, also known as Zaphiel, Zeruel, and Zaphkiel which name means "God's knowledge", is an angelic prince named as one of the chiefs of the angelic choir of cherubim. He is also sometimes said to be chief of the thrones; the ruling angel of the planet Saturn; and a special patron of Noah, guiding him in the building of the ark and helping to ensure the survival of his family. It is possible that he can be equated with the angel Zaphkiel listed as an archangel and head of the choir of thrones-but some scholars dispute this.
 * Shaman: Lyserg Diethel
 * O.S. Type: Spirit Type
 * Spirit Ally: Zelel
 * Reiyoku Level: 10,000

Aside from its angelic powers, it is very nimble and can even transform into vehicle form for travel. Until Lyserg was given Zelel it was chained up in the X-Laws weapon storage on their cargo ship.

It made its first appearance when Brocken Meyer explained how Bill Burton was defeated and called it an angel even though none of them knew if it belonged to the X-Laws or not.

O.S. "Mastema Dolkeem" (O.S Masutema Dorukīmu) Description: This is a multiple-spirit Armor-type O.S. which Lyserg creates while in the underworld. Through the partial guidance of Pascal Avaf and his two spirits, Lyserg forges this new O.S. which integrates Zelel and Morphine with his Derringer and his "Elizabeth". The O.S. manifests as a huge pair of pauldrons and a fault connected by a strip of back armor, thus covering his shoulders and waist. Five additional armor fragments suspend themselves behind Lyserg's head for additional protection, and six burning arms of Furyoku, resembling his original O.S. Homing Pendulum, give it simultaneous defense and offense. Lyserg attributes the nature of this O.S. as a means to prevent himself from being consumed by the fires of his anger, thus attuning his Furyoku to the element of fire.

 * Spirit Ally(s): Morphine (fairy spirit) & Zelel (Archangel)
