«Fell Crescent» (フェル・クレセント, Feru Kuresento?) is a high-level, 1-hit, One-handed Curved Sword category Sword Skill in Sword Art Online, New ALfheim Online and Project Alicization.
Description[]
«Fell Crescent» is a charge-type skill that allows the user to cover "a distance of four yards in … 0.4 seconds" [1] and consists of a single slanted[2] slash from bottom-right to top-left.[1]
The skill is activated by drawing a curved sword behind one's back.[2] While in motion, the weapon in use glows "a brilliant orange;" possibly "flashing." [1]

Volume 1, Chapter 1 | Episode 08 | Aincrad Manga Stage.002 | A Lizardman Lord — wielding a scimitar — used this skill to close in onto Kirito, who intentionally retreated from the lizard to induce it into using this skill, allowing Kirito to counterattack with «Horizontal Square». |
Trivia[]
- In the anime, as the skill is activated, it is shown that the Lizardman Lord still has its arm behind its back, most likely preparing to do a slanted slash from bottom to top, but in the scene where Kirito activates «Horizontal Square», it is shown that the Lizardman Lord's sword is atop its shoulder, going for a downward slanted slash, which should not be possible in just one swing based on the Sword Skill's initial motion.
