The Paladins 「
Overview[]
As part of his plan to bring about world peace, Lucius Zogratis has developed a method of using his Soul Magic to purify devils and their power, thereby creating a holy power, and to incarnate those devils in humans,[3][4] transforming them into new lifeforms, which he calls "Paladins". Additionally, he plans to rule over this world as the "Magic Great Emperor" 「魔法大帝 Mahō Taitei, VIZ: "Wizard Emperor"」.[2] Despite their core personalities and characterization being largely unaffected, Lucius instills them with the overriding belief in his righteousness, which forces them to act according to his wishes, even if the action conflicts with those of their own.[5]
As part of the transformation, Paladins receive winged, luminous bodies with halos and horns. Because they are hosts of incarnated devils, Paladins possess immense magic power, nearly immortal bodies, enhanced wisdom, and their devils' magic attributes.[2] Since the process alters the humans' souls, their grimoires are similarly affected, recording these new spells.[6] All Paladins are considered extremely powerful regardless of any degree of combat experience they had prior to being converted, as shown when even incomplete Paladins created from Lily Aquaria and Heath Graice can effortlessly overwhelm powerful warriors such as the Ryuzen Seven,[7] and a converted Moris Libardirt pushed Mereoleona Vermillion, commonly regarded as one of the strongest mages of the Clover Kingdom, to the brink of death.[8][9]
After Lucius connects himself to the Clover Kingdom's grimoire towers, he gains the ability not only to reconstruct the destroyed Paladins, making them more monstrous in appearance and personality,[10] but also to remotely control them, even from across vast distances.[11]
While a strong Anti Magic attack can sever the Paladin's connection to their purified devil power,[12][13] it cannot completely remove Lucius's changes and will render the Paladin comatose.[14] Additionally, because some Paladins are made before Lucius's power is complete, they lack truly immortal bodies and so can be killed with sufficiently lethal attacks.[15][16] Paladins created with the complete version of Lucius's Soul Magic can only be killed by massive spells that require the user to be at the brink of death[17][18] or with the combined force of multiple mages,[19] or be exorcised by Anti Magic.[20]
