Dungeon Battle Royale ~ Since I became a Demon King, I will aim for World Domination-Chapter 172: ☆ Character Introduction ③
Chapter 170 – ☆ Character Introduction ①
About the abilities of 【Body】…Strength, Endurance, Agility, and Reaction Speed are going to remain masked (I have no plans to divulge them). Since Body’s rank is decided by the accumulation of those values, there exist cases where an individual with Body C might exceed someone with Body B in Strength. (Example: Red’s Body is C, but his Strength is higher than Saburou’s at night).
Since I’d likely dig my own grave by using the detailed stat values…I’ve been going with a rough estimate reflected in ranks, but since I’ve run into a wall of not being able to explain the power relationship by simply lining up the ranks, I’ve added a value called 【Index】 this time around which uses Shion’s abilities as reference at 100. Besides abilities, 【Index】 is also largely affected by special abilities (especially the A ~ E value behind a skill) and combat experience. I’d be most delighted if you could regard it as simple grading to estimate power. (【Index】 hasn’t been introduced in the actual story)
【Shion’s Forces ～Demon King Edition～】
Name: Shion
Race: Demon King → Demon King (Vampire) → Demon King (Vampire Lord)
Index: 100 (50 underneath daylight)
Abilities: Body B – Mana C – Knowledge E – Creation B – Alchemy B
Strongest Weapon Type: Spear
Strongest Magic Attribute: Darkness
First Appearance: Prologue
The protagonist of this book. During his time as human he was more of an indoor type with gaming and reading as hobbies. He tends to be strong at deliberation, and possesses a character of treading carefully. He has the habit of quantifying all kinds of phenomena. As he also quantifies the value of his subordinates (their lives), he’s capable of making calm and cruel decisions.
Name: Kanon
Race: Demon King → Demon King (Fairy) → High Pixie
Index: 45
Abilities: Body D – Mana C – Knowledge B
Strongest Weapon Type: Wand
Strongest Magic Attribute: Earth
First Appearance: Side Story (Kanon)
The mascot of this book. She was a Demon King ruling over a Domain adjacent to Shion’s, but as a result of being on the verge of death after getting invaded by humans, she begged Shion to save her life, and surrendered. She’s aiming for the position of strategist, but currently she holds the position of 『Google-chan + Conversation Partner』. She’s the first person Shion spoke to after becoming a Demon King, thus she knows him for a long time. She had been leading a life where her loneliness only got worse, and basically hates all humanity, but she takes a friendly stance towards Rina, who has been talking with her, and the monsters who have been nice to her. (It’s not mentioned in the main story, but Kanon has problems dealing with Sarah and Takaharu and avoids both). It’s her back-setting, but she’s really good at sewing, and sewed her own underwear…in preparation for Shion’s punishments.
Name: Yataro
Race: Demon King → Demon King (Devil) → Archdemon
Index: 70
Abilities: Body E – Mana B – Knowledge C
Strongest Weapon Type: Wand
Strongest Magic Attribute: Wind + Fire
First Appearance: Side Story (Yataro)
The one in charge of the Domain’s defenses. He ruled over Uchinada as Demon King, but got invaded by Shion, and chose to surrender in the end. Since he has a broad view of things and excellent thinking capabilities, Shion highly values him as a strategist, but…he also has the fatal flaw of being a Gacha addict. He’s favoring Saburou, who’s part of the defense team and a former Demon King just like him, as if he was his own child.
Name: Saburou
Race: Demon King → Demon King (Vampire) → Vampire → Vampire Noble
Index: 90 (45 underneath daylight)
Abilities: Body B – Mana C – Knowledge E
Strongest Weapon Type: Rapier
Strongest Magic Attribute: Darkness
First Appearance: Chapter 92
A youth who grew up without forgetting his boyish heart (= a Chuunibyou patient). I planned to have him enter the stage casually with the idea of having an enemy character with some individuality, but…since he ended up becoming a nicer character than I had expected, he became a regular as a rare character (lol). His abilities during nights rank at the highest levels among Shion’s subordinates, but for some reason his true strength remains under the radar. He loves Kanon, but because he has troubles choosing between her, the elves, and Sarah, Saburou’s feelings of love…are scheduled to end in vain.
Name: Takaharu
Race: Demon King → Demon King (Beast) → Beast King
Index: 110
Abilities: Body B – Mana E – Knowledge E
Strongest Weapon Type: Unarmed
Strongest Magic Attribute: none ※ He has special abilities such as Coercion etc.
First Appearance: Chapter 116
A meathead Demon King who spent all his BP on Body. He ruled a Domain in Unoke as Demon King, but chose to surrender in the end after getting invaded by Shion. He has a rough, belligerent character – a pure battle junkie who desires to fight against formidable enemies. Coupled with his superior Body and his extraordinary fighting intuition, he’s one of the strongest, if not the strongest, among Shion’s subordinates. Besides combat, he likes touring. What pleased him the most about becoming Shion’s subordinate seems to be the pleasure of enjoying good food. Among the Demon Kings he’s also the character the easiest for me to write because of his lacking quirks.
Name: Sarah
Race: Demon King → Demon King (Elf) → Elemental Elf
Index: 90
Abilities: Body D – Mana B – Knowledge C
Strongest Weapon Type: Wand
Strongest Magic Attribute: all
First Appearance: Chapter 111
Gal. Expert in magic. She ruled over a Domain in Tonami City as Demon King, but during her repeated invasions, she eventually ended up invading Shion’s Domain, and lost. She became Shion’s subordinate through 《Contract》. She’s considered very outgoing by her flashy appearance and gal-like way of talking, but she also got a past trauma of having failed at her high school debut. Writing the way how gals talk is difficult, so I don’t think that you’ll get to see Sarah’s PoV.
Name: Akira
Race: Demon King → Demon King (Dwarf) → Dwarf Smith
Index: 30
Abilities: Body D – Mana E – Knowledge C
Strongest Weapon Type: Hammer
Strongest Magic Attribute: none
First Appearance: Chapter 128
Shion’s long-aspired Dwarf Demon King (in charge of smithing). She ruled over a Domain in Hakui City as Demon King, but she chose to surrender after getting invaded by Shion and negotiating with him. She looks like a little girl, but she’s very intelligent. Since she takes joy in making things, she’s satisfied with her life as Shion’s subordinate. She’s a character I’m expecting to get more screen time in the upcoming domestic affairs arc.
Name: Hibiki
Race: Demon King → Demon King (Beast) → Beast Noble
Index: 95
Abilities: Body B – Mana D – Knowledge D
Strongest Weapon Type: Unarmed
Strongest Magic Attribute: Water
First Appearance: Chapter 139
A former Demon King serving as a tank who made a timely appearance towards the end of the prefecture’s north unification arc. He ruled a Domain at Koiji Beach as Demon King, but as result of getting invaded by Shion and receiving a harsh reprimand by him, Hibiki chose to surrender. He has a keen mind and gentlemanly conduct. Unlike the offensive hand-to-hand combat style of Takaharu, he excels at handling enemy attacks by skilfully using his gloves. He’s a subordinate useful in all kinds of settings! The sole fly in the ointment is the little issue with his appearance and character. Back when I came up with Hibiki as a character, he was a character that made my heart race…wondering whether he’d become popular…or get totally flamed.
Name: Rina
Race: Human
Index: 110
Class: Warrior → Swordswoman
Abilities: Body B – Mana H – Knowledge G
Strongest Weapon Type: Sword
Strongest Magic Attribute: none
First Appearance: Chapter 13
One of the heroine candidates of the main series (However, since the author sucks at writing about romance and heroines…it’s undecided yet whether she will actually become a heroine). She was a normal university student in Kanezawa who was good at kendo, but after getting invited by her friend (Saori), she invaded Shion’s Domain. As if being guided by the 『Black Iron Sword』 she obtained back then…she grew into a hero approved of by Kanezawa. Even though she had piled up achievements as a hero, she eventually invaded Shion’s Domain a second time, and lost. As there was also the circumstance of her getting abandoned by her party, she accepted Shion’s 《Contract》. Afterwards she became very helpful to Shion as a core member of a team invading other Domains. She’s one of the main characters, but also a character I’m struggling to write about with her weak individuality.
Name: Kotetsu
Race: Human
Index: 120
Class: Warrior → Samurai
Abilities: Body B – Mana G – Knowledge H
Strongest Weapon Type: Katana
Strongest Magic Attribute: none
First Appearance: Side Story (Sayama Kotetsu)
Rina’s grandfather. He was extolled by mankind as 『Sword King』. He has the strongest combat abilities in the series so far, but because of his age, he has low stamina. He hates crookedness, but he also understands that it’s necessary to be flexible in his views thanks to his many years of life experience. He has the resolve to abandon everything, if it’s for the sake of protecting his last, remaining family member ― Rina.
