Characters
; : :The seventh prince of the royal family that rules the Kingdom of Saloum. Although he is only ten years old, he has an enormous amount of magical knowledge and possesses mana that even terrifies demons (his mana often manifested as a gigantic black blob-like creature with an abyss full of skulls for eyes). He has no interest in the succession to the throne, women, or love, and devotes all of his actions and desires to the study and practice of his beloved magic, which is the main reason why he tried to keep his secret as an extraordinarily powerful sorcerer a secret, since he was worried that nobles would start pestering him and distract him from his research in magic. ; : :Lloyd's familiar, a demon who manipulates ancient magic that once drove the Kingdom of Saloum to the brink of destruction. He had been sealed away in a forbidden book in the kingdom's sealed archives for several hundred years, but Lloyd freed it and they met. However, he is overwhelmed by Lloyd's unfathomable magical power and sorcery and succumbs. He changes his appearance to that of an adorable small goat and begins to serve Lloyd, although at times of emergencies, he can transform into a human-demon hybrid form called "Grimtaro" to fight. ; : :Lloyd's personal maid, bodyguard, and swordsmanship teacher. The sole heir to the House of Langlis and a former A-rank adventurer known as the "Silver Blader", she fell in love with Lloyd to the point of obsession and devoted her life for him. ; : :An A-rank adventurer and an expert martial artist, who practiced "Hyakkaken" martial arts from her grandfather. Her reason for becoming an adventurer is to "find hot guys to date". She unwittingly taught Lloyd how to use Qi while he was in disguise as "Lloberto". ; : :A member of the Assassins Guild, a group of assassins who kills only evil people that the Adventurer's Guild can't handle, and a Blighted, humans who was born with the ability to innately use magic, but are unable to control it. Her ability as the Poison Blighted allows her to excrete poison from her skin, which takes form as butterflies. :Initially, she can't control the lethality and the amount of poison she released, causing her parents' deaths and forcing her to wear a cloak at all times, but after Lloyd fixes her mana flow alongside the rest of the Assassins Guild, which allows her to reduce the poison's lethality to a mere knockout gas, she developed feelings for him. ; : :The second prince of Saloum Kingdom, and Lloyd's older brother. He's generally a charming and handsome prince, but secretly have an intense brocon towards Lloyd that rivals Sylpha's obsession, and the thought of him being harmed is the only thing that will make him lose his cool and fly on a rampage. While his combat skills are average, he makes it up with excellent diplomacy and tactical skills, making him the second favorite by the nobles to be the next king, next to his eldest brother Schneizel. ; : :The fourth prince of Saloum Kingdom and a blacksmith, owning a large smith behind the kingdom's royal palace. His dream is to create the ultimate Spellbound Sword, so that people with no talent for sorcery can use magic. Outside of smithing, he's a hot-headed meathead who often clashes with his brothers. ; : :The sixth princess of Saloum Kingdom and Lloyd's older sister. She loves animals and have an innate ability to subconciously tame and control animals with her mana flow, taming even a Lesser Fenrir. She heavily dotes on Lloyd and even kissed him on the lips at one point, which is why Lloyd is wary of her. ; : :A Bearwolf who was kidnapped by Pazuzu, a demon, after he killed his parents, and later experimented on him and put a mind control spell on him. After Lloyd freed him from his mind control and killed Pazuzu, Shiro stayed with him and became his pet. ; : :The leader of the Assassins Guild, and the Phantom Blighted, which allows him to teleport to anywhere in the world with his magic, "Shadow Wolf", but due to him not being able to control it, he would teleport at a random place in a random time, often at very inconvenient moments. He is also a noble and the third son of the Lordost clan. ; : :A member of the Assassins Guild and the Wrap Blighted, which allows him to contort and twist every part of his body. He was unable to control which part of his body that he can twist, until Lloyd fixes his mana flow, which allowed him to contort even his heart, allowing him to survive supposedly fatal attacks. ; : :A member of the Assassins Guild and the Curse Blighted, with an ability to materialize anything he says. Initially, he was unable to deactivate this power, causing him to voluntarily become a mute, until Lloyd fixes his mana flow. ; : :A sister in the Holy Church, and Saria's singing partner. Her singing voice is said to be angelic, to the point where Jihriel would give her his Divine Blessing, allowing her to use Divine Magic with her singing that heals and purifies anyone who hears it. :She joined the church with no other reason than she liked singing. ; : :The fourth princess of Saloum Kingdom, and Lloyd's older sister. She's just as obsessed with music as much as Lloyd is obsessed with magic, to the point where she would often forget people's names if they're not a musician, even her own father. Just as Lloyd have an incredible talent in magic, Saria also have an incredible talent with music, where people across the kingdom would come just to see her play, and her music would soothe people in times of chaos. ; : :An angel who oversaw the Saloum Kingdom from Paradise, a divine realm separate from the mortal world. He's capable of granting Divine Magic to anyone he deemed worthy, by giving their spirits access to the "Path". Although a supposedly divine being, he is extremely perverted and would find any opportunity to ogle at girls, especially Escher and Saria, only for Grim to straighten him out every time. After witnessing Lloyd's power, he follows him into the mortal realm, transforming into a small yellow bird to avoid suspicion from Lloyd's entourage. ; : :A mysterious priest who performs abhorrent experiments on humans and monsters under the Holy Church to create chimeras, who mysteriously have divine magic as well. :In addition to his body being composed of multiple S-rank monster parts that he can control at will, he can also use a type of divine magic called "Unholy Excalibur", which allows him to "purify" anything that he deems "evil", denoted by the symbols on the blades. If the symbol changes to a magic element, it will negate that type of magic, while if it changes to a specific person, it will instantly kill them if they are hit by it. ; : :A human-snake hybrid chimera, initially mistaken as a Lamia, and one of the mysterious priest's experiments. ; : :Pope Guitane's personal assistant and an Archbishop of the Holy Church, known as the "Lunar Priestess". == Media ==
