Licht


 * For the leader of the Eye of the Midnight Sun, see Patolli.

Licht (リヒト) is the leader of the Elf Tribe and one of its ten Apostles of Sephirah. He was married to Tetia, a human woman and sister of the first Magic Emperor.

Appearance
Licht is a tall, slender-framed elf with white skin and somewhat effeminate facial features and gold eyes. His white hair was pulled back into a single braid.

His artificial body has two sets of tattoos: on his cheeks, a vertical line under each eye and in the middle of his forehead, four dots forming a diamond bordered by curved lines.

Personality
Licht is a kind and compassionate elf who sought peace between elves and humans.

Since his resurrection, Licht has shown little emotion and does not say much. Seeing two elves defeated causes him to remember the massacre and incites him to fight Asta and Yuno.

Biography
As children, Licht comes to Vetto's aid and tells him that they are friends and that one day, the elves and humans will understand each other.

Years later, Licht receives a four-leaf clover grimoire and saves a human woman from a magical tornado. Licht befriends Tetia's brother, who also believes that elves and humans will live in peace. Licht conceives a child with Tetia, hoping that it will unite the two peoples.

Months later, Licht marries her, but after the ceremony, the elves are betrayed and massacred by humans. Carrying his wife's body, Licht stands up among the dead and casts a forbidden Reincarnation Magic spell, which centuries later revives Patolli's soul in William Vangeance.

At some unknown point in the past, according to the Witch Queen, he also used forbidden magic to conjure a demon god. This is presumably the same demon god that nearly destroyed the humans of Clover Kingdom but was stopped by the man who became the first Magic Emperor.

Within the Gravito Rock Zone's floating dungeon, Licht's artificial body is suspended in a giant sphere of mana. As one team of Royal Knights reaches the body, Patolli succeeds in collecting all of the magic stones and placing them in the sephirot. Light pours from the stone monument, and Licht and the other elves are resurrected. Licht watches in silence as Klaus Lunettes and Hamon Caseus fight and defeat Mimosa Vermillion. Rhya brings Asta before Licht, but the leader does not react to a human using his grimoire and swords.

Seeing Klaus and Hamon defeated reminds Licht of the massacre, so he catches his brethren, carries them to the ground, and then draws the Demon-Destroyer Sword from the floor. Asta and Yuno ready themselves for a fight, and Asta draws the Demon-Dweller Sword. Suddenly Licht appears in front of Asta and takes the sword. He fills it with his magic and releases a series of flying slashes, forcing the boys to retreat. Yuno tries a counterattack, but the Demon-Dweller Sword absorbs the Spirit Storm and releases it back at Yuno. When Yuno closes the distance and uses Mana Zone to attack Licht from behind, the elf once again absorbs the spell. However, before Licht can release the spell, Asta and Yuno charge at him.

Licht deflects their attack with his other sword and lets it go. He then points the Demon-Dweller Sword at the boys and unleashes a magical blast, forcing them and Mimosa down and out of the dungeon. Rhya questions why Licht sent away his grimoire and swords, to which Licht replies that the grimoire is no longer his. Ado then appears and brings the other elves in the dungeon into the central room, and the dungeon is steered toward the Clover Kingdom and their revived brethren.

After reaching Clover Castle, the ten Apostles of Sephirah gather atop the dungeon and summon the Shadow Palace. Licht and other elves then fly into the gate.

Abilities

 * Immense Speed: Licht is extremely fast, as shown when he outpaces Asta's Ki-sensing.

Equipment

 * Swords: Three of Licht's swords later became the Demon-Slayer Sword, Demon-Dweller Sword, and Demon-Destroyer Sword. During his fight with Asta and Yuno, Licht reclaims the Demon-Dweller Sword and displays greater control over the sword's magic absorption and release property.

Tetia
After helping save Tetia from a magical tornado, Licht became fast friends with her and her brother. Licht and Tetia fell in love and conceived a child, sharing the hope that it would unite the Elf Tribe and the humans. They eventually married, but the wedding was ambushed and the elves and Tetia were massacred.

Rhya
Licht and Rhya are close friends, and Licht believes Rhya to be kind and empathetic at heart.
