Anos Voldigoad

Anos Voldigoad (アノス・ヴォルディゴード, Anosu Vorudigōdo) is a powerful demon who was infamous during the Mythical Age as the Demon King of Tyranny, for his immense power and cruelty towards his enemies. After giving his life to separate the world into four, he reincarnated into the Magical Age, as he begins attending the Demon King Academy to find out how much has changed from 2000 years ago. He is the main protagonist of the series.

Appearance
Anos is a demon with black hair and black-red eyes. He's been described as being a pretty boy and is usually seen wearing his school uniform which consists of a black shirt along with a white jacket with a cross which acknowledges his status as a misfit. He also wears white trousers along with a black belt and metal chain.

Personality
Anos is the reincarnation of the man who was feared as the Demon King of Tyranny 2,000 years ago. He is resolute, stalwart, and invincible. His absolute power instils a veritable self-confidence that is only surpassed by his ego. Because of his overwhelming prowess, Anos possesses an easy going attitude and an unrivalled sense of perseverance when facing any challenge that may come his way.

Despite his title as the Demon King, Anos has a definitive moral compass and generally has a kind and caring outlook. He takes a great interest in the well-being of not only his family, but also his subordinates and followers, and is quick to reward them for their loyalty. He is willing to go through great lengths to assist in their development, in order for them to reach their full potential. Other people may see him as cruel, but his personal creed is not to kill people needlessly. Even if he would never admit it, Anos is very protective of his fellow subordinates and followers.

While Anos is not inherently evil, his chaotic and sometimes ruthless methods when dealing with his enemies, earned him his title. While he originally never proclaimed himself as the Demon King, he has openly embraced it as the rest of the world views him as such. Those who oppose him, fear his power, and are threatened by the mere fact that a single man possesses such power.

The legends of just his gaze striking fear into those who appear before him are not just a rumor either. Just using his magic eyes to control others' actions is enough for some to go mentally insane.

History
2,000 years ago, in his previous life, Anos was an orphan. Humans killed his mother while she was pregnant with him and he was born from her corpse. He said that it was something he could never forget.

During the war, Anos battled and destroyed various enemies, as he encountered the Hero Kanon on the battlefield and the two began to battle, with Kanon managing to injure Anos a fair degree while Anos would destroy all but a single of Kanon's seven sources, thus forcing Kanon to retreat. The two would continue to meet and battle each other during the Great War, as both gained an unspoken mutual respect for each others power and determination.

As the war between humans, spirits, gods, and demons raged on, Anos eventually grew tired of the constant fighting and decided that the only way peace could be achieved was by building walls between the four races, hoping they would forget their grudge after a thousand years or so. Thus he formed an agreement with the Hero Kanon, Great Spirit Reno, and the God of Creation Militia, whom he invited to his castle Delsgade and sacrificed himself to supply enough magic for the cause, saying that he would reincarnate after 2,000 years.

The unborn child which Anos would reincarnate into, was close to death while still inside his mother's womb. Because the doctors couldn't do anything, even with magic, Izabella prayed everyday for her child to be born. It didn't matter to her which divine or demonic being answered, so long as they'd help her child. While she was sleeping, the baby's heart stopped inside of her. Izabella prayers were finally answered when the child's heart started beating again. Little by little, the unborn child regained his strength and grew as Anos' source chose the unborn child to reincarnate in, thus returning life to it. He believes that it was because of his mother's sheer force of will that he was drawn to the baby.

Abilities

 * Source of Destruction: Anos possesses a unique source specializing in destruction.
 * Immense Magic Power: Anos possesses an extraordinary amount of magic power which surpasses all other beings he has encountered. His power is so monumental, that it cannot be measured by normal means.
 * Source Intimidation: Magic power comes from the source itself, so if it becomes afraid of the opponent, it causes the magic to go out of control and explode. As the Demon King of Tyranny, Anos is far stronger than others, thus it is feared by many.
 * Immense Physical Strength: Anos has displayed an insane level of physical strength whenever magic was rendered insufficient. As shown during the inter-team battle exam, where he lifted up Sasha's entire castle with a single hand, and spun it around his index finger. He also displayed his physical strength when he opened up the ginormous gates that guarded his scepter hidden beneath the castle.
 * Immense Physical Speed: Anos displays insane levels of physical speed whenever it is necessary in order to defeat his opponents.
 * Demon King Origin Magic Immunity: Origin Magic is a type of magic that borrows the power from an ancient being to cast. Being the Demon King himself, any spell cast that calls for his own power is rendered useless against him.
 * High Intelligence & Spell Theory Knowledge: Anos possesses high intelligence as shown by his many victories over his enemies as he outsmarts and overpowers them in battle. He has also mastered almost all types of magic, but he admits that he loses to Kanon in source magic. He also mentions that the only category he is completely unrivaled in is destruction magic, and that Misha could potentially surpass him in creation magic. Additionally, Anos easily creates many powerful spells on the fly and during battle. He also masterfully enhances spells previously thought to be perfect. Some examples of Anos' feats include:
 * Anos memorized and learned a complicated magic formula in 1 second which took Sasha 1 month to learn, and then proceeded to complete the formula which even the creator wouldn't have been able to do for another 1000 years after witnessing it only once.
 * Anos effortlessly deciphered hundreds of thousands of magic characters with one look which would take an accomplished mage a whole day to do.
 * Anos is knowledgeable about the atomic structure of objects, and when he uses creation magic to create an object, he doesn't just create the object but also the atoms that make up the object.
 * Anos developed numerous spells such as  and  and even invented Origin Magic, a completely new and powerful type of magic.
 * Anos is capable of utilizing Holy Magic despite being a demon, as he stated that Holy Magic is merely on a different wavelength from demonic magic. He demonstrated the ability to use  and  during his fight with Ledriano. He also demonstrated the ability to use  to create a holy sword, something that was thought impossible by the members of the Hero Academy. Anos also improved the formula for  after learning it.
 * Anos read and perfectly memorized 1,799 books in mere moments.

Magic
See: Magic


 * Magic Eyes of Destruction: These magic eyes are capable of "destroying" (disintegrating) everything in Anos' sight, including a person's mind and magic itself. Additionally, these magic eyes can put people to sleep for at least a day. These magic eyes can seemingly act automatically to "destroy" powers that attempt to affect Anos, making it the ultimate anti-magic.
 * Hell Flame Annihilation Mortar : Said to be the highest-ranking of attack fire magic within the demon race's magic system, a powerful miniature jet-black sun which can be fired off at the enemy like a comet. As is the case with all forms of magic, the more powerful the user, the more powerful the spell becomes. In the Mythical Age, one caster could use multiple , but in the Magical Age, 20 people could only reach a 20% success rate.
 * Magic Black Thunder Emperor : Origin magic that borrows power from the Demon King of Tyranny. It is a typhoon of powerful black lightning that rains destruction onto enemies.
 * Source Kill : Anos stains his fingertips in dense black magic particles and impales with his spear hand towards the enemy, this directly attacks the source, possibly destroying it permanently if the attack is successful.
 * Four Worlds Wall : The wall that divided the world into four 2,000 years ago. It was made by combining the magic power of the God of Creation, the Great Spirit, the Hero, and the Demon King. It rejects everything and destroys them. However, Melheis had taken it before it disappeared 1,000 years ago. Anos can clad any part of his body in the same wall that separated the world, to act as either a protective barrier or to strengthen his attacks.
 * Hell Flame Binding Chains Magic Formation : A magical technique that summons chains of hell flame to constrict the enemy's movements and finish them off.
 * Demon King Castle Summon <Delsgade>: This great magic that moves the Demon King Castle Delsgade, capable of emitting enormous magic power because it was originally a fixed magic tool, which was certainly impossible 2,000 years ago. However, origin magic is older, and by borrowing from an entity with greater magical power, it is possible to produce extraordinary results. If we borrowed power from Delsgade 2,000 years ago, it is not impossible to summon Delsgade of this era, which has a close relationship with it. Anos can only use <Venuzdonoa> within the vicinity of his Demon King's Castle, however, he can summon his castle anytime he wishes in exchange for using up a lot of his magic power.
 * <Superimpose>: Anos can superimpose some of his attacks on top of each other to increase its power output.

Weapons and Equipment

 * Reason Destroying Sword <Venuzdonoa>: The demon sword of the founder which can destroy all things in creation. No matter how tough, eternal or infinite it is, Venuzdonoa will destroy it alongside its reason Before this Reason Destroying Sword all reason is meaningless. Magical things like distances and dimensions are irrelevant, and it is useless to think about what Venuzdonoa can or cannot do. Venuzdonoa can only be used in the vicinity of the Demon King Castle Delsgade. The Demon King Castle Delsgade can be summoned via <Delsgade>.


 * Diamond Iron Sword: A handcrafted sword forged and gifted to Anos by his father, Gusta. Anos used it throughout the Magic Sword Tournament. While the sword does not compare to the magical power of many of his other personal items, Anos treasures it the most, as it was suffused with his father's love.

Anos is said to possess various other weapons in his treasure room.

Trivia

 * His favorite food is mushroom gratin. After reincarnation, his mom makes it for him all the time.
 * Anos deeply treasures the love and support that he receives from his parents, Gusta and Izabella, as his past incarnation was orphaned, and grew up without any family at all.
 * While both of Anos' parents are human, one of his ancestors was a demon, causing the pure-bloods to still refer to him as a hybrid or mixed-blooded demon.
 * Many royals and pure-bloods are unable to see past the fact that Anos was "reborn" as a hybrid, and conceitedly refuse acknowledge that the Demon King of Tyranny would choose to reincarnate from anything other than pure-blooded parents. Even many pure-bloods who possess magic eyes, would refuse to analyze his blood, due to this misconception.
 * Anos' title of "Misfit" has multiple meanings:
 * It refers to his designation in the Demon King Academy for supposedly scoring very low on the Magical Power Test and the Demon King Aptitude Test, thus making him an outcast in the academy.
 * He is also called a misfit due to not conforming to the order of the gods and possessing enough power to overwhelm the gods themselves.
 * He is said to have taken tyranny to its extremes and that before his gaze, even reason was obliterated.
 * Being half-asleep, he nearly destroyed Dilhade using <Jio Graze> because he was fighting Kanon in his dream. Surprisingly though, no one died because he still had that much control while half-sleep.
 * As a result of using Reincarnation <Silica>, he could only use less than one tenth of his immense magic power. He had gained his original power once the source was fully awakened.
