Anos Voldigoad (アノス・ヴォルディゴード, Anosu Vorudigōdo?) is an extremely powerful demon who was known as the Demon King of Tyranny (暴虐の魔王, Bōgyaku no Maō?) during the Mythical Era, infamous for his absolute power and extreme brutality towards his enemies. After giving up his life to split the world into four, he was reincarnated in the Magical Era and began attending the Demon King Academy with his descendants, only to be branded as a misfit. He is the titular protagonist of The Misfit of Demon King Academy.

UNIFORM: White BADGE: Cross

Anos is a young man with black hair, black and red eyes, and is quite handsome. He is usually seen wearing a white school uniform, which consists of a black shirt, white jacket and pants, and a badge displaying a cross, the symbol of the only misfit of Demon King Academy. He also wears white pants, a black belt, and a metal chain.

Anos is determined, brave, and invincible. His absolute power instills a self-confidence that is only surpassed by his ego. Due to his overwhelming prowess, Anos possesses a calm demeanor and an unmatched sense of perseverance when facing any challenge that comes his way. Even as a child, Anos displayed a level of maturity that was rare, especially in the Mythic Era.

Despite being called the Demon King of Tyranny, Anos has a definite moral compass and generally has a kind and caring outlook. He takes great interest in the well-being of his family, friends, and followers and is quick to reward them for their loyalty. He is willing to go to any lengths to help them develop and reach their full potential. Other people may see him as cruel, but his personal creed is to not kill people unnecessarily. He values ​​great strength, not only in terms of power but also in terms of character. He always inspired his followers to embrace love and strengthen their bonds with their fellow human beings, given that it was very uncommon during the Mythic Age, as he himself was an orphan in his past incarnation and grew up without a family.

While Anos is not inherently evil, his chaotic and sometimes ruthless methods in dealing with his enemies are what earned him his title. He never actually proclaimed himself the Demon King of Tyranny, but openly accepted it as the rest of the world viewed him as such. Those who oppose him are terrified by his power and are shocked that a single man could possess such unfathomable power. He doesn't actually care whether those around him acknowledge him as the Demon King or not, as facts are not a matter of faith.

Two thousand years ago, in his previous life, Anos was an orphan. Humans killed his mother when she was pregnant with him, and he was born from her corpse, something he could never forget. [6]

During the war, Anos fought and destroyed several enemies when he encountered the hero Kanon on the battlefield. The two began to fight, with Kanon managing to injure Anos to a considerable degree, while Anos destroyed all but one of Kanon's seven sources, forcing Kanon to retreat. The two would continue to meet and fight each other throughout the Great War, as they both gained an unspoken mutual respect for each other's power and determination.

As the war between humans, spirits, gods, and demons continued, Anos eventually grew tired of the constant fighting. He decided that the only way to achieve peace was to build walls between the four races, hoping that they would forget their grudge after about a thousand years. Thus, he formed an agreement with Kanon, the Great Reno Spirit and the Goddess of Creation Militia, whom he invited to his Delsgade Castle and sacrificed himself to provide enough magic for the cause, saying that he would be reincarnated after two thousand years.

The fetus that Anos would be reincarnated into was on the verge of dying while still inside his mother's womb. Since doctors could do nothing, not even with magic, Izabella prayed daily for her child to be born. She did not care which divine or demonic being answered, as long as they helped her child. As she slept, the baby's heart stopped inside her. Izabella's prayers were finally answered when the child's heart began to beat again. Slowly, the fetus regained its strength and grew as Anos' source chose the fetus to be reincarnated into, thus bringing it back to life. He believes it was due to his mother's sheer force of will that he was drawn to the baby.

Source of Destruction: Anos possesses a unique source specialized in destruction.

Immense Magical Power: Anos possesses extraordinary magical power that surpasses almost all beings he has encountered thus far. His power is so monumental that a power crystal cannot measure it and even shatters. [7] Anos was able to overwhelm Ivis Necron fused with the Guardian of Time Eugo La Raviaz, while under the effects of Gyze's King class traits, which reduced his magic to less than a third. Furthermore, he was simultaneously supplying magic for Rivide and protecting the Necron twins. It should be noted that the fusion magic used to combine Ivis Necron and the Guardian of Time's Scythe also inflated his magical power tenfold. [8] During Anos' fight with Melheis Boran, it was revealed that all of the feats Anos had demonstrated up until that point were done with less than a tenth of his true power because he was not yet fully accustomed to his new body. [9]

Surpassing Destruction: Like all people, the closer Anos' source comes to destruction, the stronger he becomes. However, his source is completely powerless against Evansmana, the legendary holy sword forged to destroy him, preventing his source from growing in power.

Blood of the Demon King: The Demon King's blood gushes out from Anos' source whenever it is damaged, uncontrollably corroding whatever its source damaged, including the powers of the gods and also the surrounding area.

Immense Strength: Anos had shown insane levels of physical strength, as demonstrated during the team exam when he lifted Sasha's entire castle with a single hand and spun it around his index finger. He also displayed his physical strength when he opened the massive doors guarding his scepter hidden beneath his castle. Anos also moved the moon with his bare hands to create a solar eclipse, though he needed magic to grab the moon.

Immense Speed: Anos displays incredible levels of speed when needed to defeat his opponents. Anos was coincidentally faster than Gazel Apt Ageila, who literally turned into light and reached the speed of light in an attempt to intercept Anos.

High Intelligence and Knowledge of Spell Theory: Anos possesses high intelligence, as shown by his numerous victories over his enemies, as he outsmarts them and dominates them in battle. He is also proficient in almost all types of magic, but admits that he loses to Kanon in Origin magic. [14] He also mentions that the only category he is unrivaled in is Destruction magic and that Misha could potentially surpass him in Creation magic. Furthermore, Anos easily creates many powerful spells on the fly and during battle. He also masterfully improves spells that were previously thought to be perfect.

Some examples of Anos' exploits include:

Anos memorized and learned a complicated magic formula in a second, which took Sasha a month to learn, and then proceeded to complete the formula, which even the creator would not have been able to do for another thousand years after witnessing it only once. [15]

Anos effortlessly deciphered hundreds of thousands of magical characters with a single glance, something that would take an experienced magician an entire day. [16]

Anos has knowledge of the atomic structure of objects, and when he uses creation magic to create an object, he does not create the object but the atoms that compose it. [17]

Anos developed numerous spells such as Gyze[18] and Gatom[19] and even invented Origin Magic, a completely new and powerful type of magic.[20][21]

Anos can utilize Holy Magic despite being a Devil, as he stated that Holy Magic is simply on a different wavelength from Demonic Magic. [22] He demonstrated the ability to use Aske [23] and Teo Triath [24] during his fight with Ledriano Azeschen . He also demonstrated the ability to use Lyfid to create a Holy Sword , something previously believed to be impossible by the members of the Hero Academy . [25] Anos also improved upon De Jerias' formula after learning it. [26]

Anos read and perfectly memorized 1,799 books in a matter of minutes. [27]

Anos was able to decipher ancient runes and master ancient magic instantly, despite it being barely used in the Mythical Era due to its complexity and it took Grysilis Derro two thousand years to use it effectively. Furthermore, Anos was able to immediately detect the flaws of ancient magic and quickly deduced that it could only increase a small amount of magic power to a finite level, while Grysilis thought it could increase magic power to infinity. [21]

Thanks to Militia's teachings, Anos was able to decode and read eternal runes, which are magical runes used by the gods to communicate with each other and can only be read with the Divine Eyes. [28] He was able to peer into the abyss of Teo Aske's love magic and deduce that platonic forms of love such as love between friends, family, or master and servant can be used to enhance it. [29] He was able to accurately deduce the correct formula for Liteld to summon gods, using only the dragon that summoned Liteld and Guala Nateh Forteos as reference.[30]

"Magic eyes of destruction" (evil eye of destruction, Hametsu no Magan)

These Magic Eyes are known to destroy everything in sight of the user. In truth, they are the ultimate form of anti-magic, and destroying people and objects is a byproduct of their power. [7] People with inferior magic can be defeated with a single glance, and the power of superior users can be reduced with the Magic Eyes of Destruction. While the power of the Eyes is impressive, they have to use magic and spell formulas to destroy them. If an enemy conceals magic with Lynel, the Eyes cannot destroy it. [7] These Magic Eyes can put people to sleep for a day or even a year. [8] [9] However, the Eyes consume a considerable amount of the user's magic power when used. [10]

They are considered the signature Magic Eyes of the Demon King of Tyranny, and the only other known person to have inherited his Magic Eyes would be his direct descendant and subordinate, Sasha Necron. Due to it being a well-known ability of the Demon King of Tyranny, the Great Spirit Avos Dilhevia also possesses these Magic Eyes due to emulating the Demon King of Tyranny's power.

"The Game" (rotting to deathigloo, Igurumu, lit. "Rotting death")

A spell that resurrects the dead as zombies. Those who have been resurrected gain immense magical power. In return, their bodies burn with hatred towards their killers and the pain of their wounds torments them for eternity and also summons them into an army of zombies to fight.

"The Terror" It is when Anos expels a terrifying and strong Demonic aura that comes out of Anos to paralyze the opponent with fear, leaving him immobile with fear and nervous sweat and Anos can take advantage to attack the opponent.

"Origin Magic" (起源魔法, Kigen Mahō ? ): Origin Magic borrows power from an older, stronger existence. The older an existence is, the greater power it has. However, the older it is, the more uncertain its existence becomes, making its power difficult to control. Thus, the best way to use Origin Magic is to clearly know the existence one is borrowing power from or an object one has an affinity with. By its very nature of borrowing power from the Origin, Origin Magic is unable to affect the Origin itself. Despite being widely known in the Mythical Age, in the Magical Age, the knowledge and usage of it is exclusive to Demonic royalty. Origin Magic was developed by Anos Voldigoad.

"Ingall" (Ingal resuscitation, Ingaru, lit. "resurrection")

A spell that resurrects the dead after offering a drop of blood. As long as it is used within three seconds of the target's death, there is no risk of permanent death. Ingall can be blocked by Lu Ingall.

"Dielga" (divided soulDierga, Dieruga, lit. "Divided soul, divided body")

A spell that splits a person's source and body into two. In the end, the separated parts become one again, leaving only the original personality. It is a difficult spell to cast and has a lower success rate if cast after birth.

"Leaks" (lack of communication leaks, Rīkusu, lit. "communication of thought")

A spell that allows for long-distance communication and mind reading. It is possible for a skilled enemy to intercept the caster's messages even if the communications are encrypted. If there are difficulties in establishing a connection, Gyze can also be used to establish a line.

"Gatom" (metastasisGatom, Gatomu, lit. "Transition")

A spell that connects two spaces for instant movement. It was developed by Anos Voldigoad during the Mythic Era, though not many people could use it even back then. This was because while it doesn't require much magic to cast, it is difficult to construct its spell formula, which must be modified depending on the spaces it connects. Only Gatom's core remains fixed, which is why this spell is considered lost magic in the Magical Era.

"Egil Grone Angdroa" (Hell Realm Ash Destroyer Magic CannonEgil Groene Angdroa, Egiru Gurōne Angudoroa, lit. "Extreme Hell World Destruction Ash Magic Mortar")

A forbidden spell from Anos Voldigoad that can destroy the world. It is an origin spell that borrows the power of the God of Creation and the God of Destruction of the world from the past, from the past caster, and adds the power of the current caster to it. The caster draws a layered magic circle that forms a magic cannon as jet-black particles form a seven-layer spiral in the center of the cannon. The cannon then unleashes flames of doom that ignite the world in flames. The flames burn the incombustible, destroy the indestructible, and reduce the entire world to black ashes. However, this spell is not considered the highest grade of fire magic because although it takes the form of flames, it is not actually fire. It is of destruction magic. [14] If the apocalyptic flames are left unchecked, they unleash the power to destroy hundreds and thousands of worlds.

Origin magic is inherently difficult to control, but because this spell borrows the power of two gods, it is even more difficult. Instead, Anos combines the magic of the God of Creation and the God of Destruction at peak performance to create a stable balance. [16] For other spells with much lower performance, it would require delicate control that makes stability nearly impossible.

However, in truth, Egil Grone Angdroa is considered a profound-class great magic that was first developed in the Silver Sea by the First Demon King Amur. It is considered a rare spell, and it is speculated that only the Demon Kings of the Silver Sea could be among its users and that the number of users does not exceed ten people.

"Magic eyes of eternal darkness" (Evil Eye of Eternal Darkness, Tokoyami no Magan)

The Magic Eyes of the Great Demon King Zinnia Shivaheld, which imprisons those it looks upon in endless darkness. This prison exerts immense pressure on the enemy, and can devour incredibly strong spells such as Egil Grone Angdroa. Destroying the veil of darkness simply reveals an even deeper layer of darkness, with not a single speck of dust in sight. All five senses are rendered useless, and one cannot even tell if they are standing or upright. As a result, Anos cannot even walk to activate Gilieriam Naviem. These Magic Eyes are powerful enough to rival the Magic Eyes of Chaotic Destruction.

"Magic eyes of chaotic destruction" (Evil Eye of Chaos, Konmetsu no Magan)

The original Magic Eyes of Anos Voldigoad. These Magic Eyes are tinted mauve with a cross drawn in the abyss of the pupils. The essence of these Magic Eyes is destruction, but in a chaotic form. They have the power to destroy even the indestructible. Just by opening these Magic Eyes, the world begins to collapse and become chaotic. [19] They can destroy order and reason.

If there is a contradiction between these Magic Eyes and the reason that must be destroyed, Anos will win unilaterally. Furthermore, the contradiction becomes the power of these Magic Eyes. They can make events that are sure to happen and/or have already happened never happen, destroying reason and creating a logical contradiction, thus winning unilaterally. In other words, these Magic Eyes can nullify powers after they have already affected Anos, as if he had never been affected to begin with. This happened when Anos nullified Equis' predetermined fate set by Beld Rase Femblem using his Magic Eye of Chaotic Destruction. [20]

In the Mythic Era, Anos exchanged his right Chaotic Destruction Magic Eye with the Goddess of Destruction Abernyu's right Divine Eye of Apocalypse, resulting in both of them obtaining the much weaker Magic Eyes of Destruction, which destroy magic, and the Mauve Magic Eyes, which destroy order. Anos can still use the original power of the Chaotic Destruction Magic Eyes even after "losing" his right Eye. [19]

"Mauve magic eyes" (dark purple evil eye, Messi not Magán)

These mauve-tinged Magic Eyes can destroy the gods and their order, as well as weaken and destroy the power of any divine weapon created by the gods. [17]

These are considered to be the signature magical eyes of the Voldigoad bloodline, the King of Destruction. Only the Demon King Anos Voldigoad and his father Ceris Voldigoad are known to possess these magical eyes.

"Magic Eyes of Transcription" (Magic Eye of Transcription, Tensha no Magan)

Kostoria Arzenon's Magic Eyes. This magic eye can copy any magic with a glance, even if said magic is beyond the range of the user's ability. However, the user cannot retain said magic and only has it for a limited time. They must look at the magic again if they wish to duplicate it and use it again. Furthermore, the duplicate is slightly inferior to the original.

"Agronemt" (root regeneration Agronemt, Young Agurone , lit. "Source Regeneration")

An origin spell that uses an enemy's attack and the target's source as the origin to return the target's source to its state before receiving the attack. The caster must know the enemy's attack beforehand, so Agronemt can only be used starting from the second attack. The caster can also use Agronemt on themselves, but since spells cannot be cast without a source, they must send Agronemt into the future with Rivide if an attack would destroy its source. [8]

"Goa Grum" (Army of Rotten DemonsSad Gore, Goa Gurumu, lit. "Ghoul Soldier")

An enhanced version of Igrum that creates ghouls instead of zombies. It produces subordinate soldiers that are more powerful than the original spell could create. However, Goa Grum also corrupts its sources. [9]

"indole" (Asphyxiaindre, Indoru, lit. "Apparent death")

A spell that causes the target to remain in a state of temporary death regardless of damage taken. The target would retain their five senses the entire time and could be resurrected later. This was a common punishment two thousand years ago. [10]

Ygg Neas (Senluowanzhangyo nea, I Guneasu , lit. "Hand of all creation")

A spell that transcends distances and allows the user to grab and hold anything in the palm of their hand, no matter how far away they are. It causes their hand to glow with a bluish-white aura. The user is not limited by the number of hands and can grab numerous objects simultaneously and move them in different directions.

High (BlessingAlto, Aruto, lit. "Protect")

The magic that protects the target's life. The technique itself judges situations autonomously and uses anti-magic, magic barriers, physical strengthening and other techniques to defend itself. Very convenient, but the magic formation is complicated. In addition, since the target person's magic power is used to maintain High, if a magic person tries to manipulate the magic power by themselves, the technique will be destroyed and the effect will be lost. Despite the weaknesses in the Mythical Age, few could not control their magic powers. This is the magic that Anos developed for his mother Izabella after she was attacked by Emilia.

"Azesith" (dimensional prisonzesis, Azeishisu, lit. "Dimensional prison")

Magic that opens a door to another dimension. Only an extremely powerful magician can enter the dimensional prison.

"to Venice" (Natural manifestation of the wave body.veneziara, Venejiara, lit. "Possibility of manifestation of the wave body")

A spell that makes possibilities real. With it, contradictory events and actions can exist simultaneously. For example, the caster can stand still while a possible version of themselves, a blurry afterimage, moves to a different location. Additionally, the spell can be activated multiple times, increasing the number of alternate versions of oneself. Veneziara's contradictory forms can exist simultaneously because they are just possibilities. With this spell, Anos was able to unsheathe Leviangilma without destroying its source. It made the possibility of unsheathing the sword and not unsheathing it at the same time a reality. [34]

"Belialio" (Fierce Deep Root Piercing Demon Belialius, Beriariusu, lit. "Deep Source Piercing Magic Bullet")

Magic bullets that aim for the source and fatally injure the opponent. Once they pierce through their source, there is no way to save them. In the entire world of magic bullets, only Grand Admiral Gigi Janes can use them. [38]

"Baroque" (dimensional gatekeeper, Baroika, lit. "Dimensional Guardian")

A magic spell developed by Anos Voldigoad that mimics the Blood Border Gates of Aeges Code created by Dehiddatem. It distorts space and time and can send objects to another dimension.

"delsgade" (Demon King's Castle SummoningDelzogate, Deruzogēdo, lit. "Demon King's Castle Summoning")

An origin spell that summons the Demon Castle Delsgade, a three-dimensional magic circle that emits enormous magical power. It was impossible to move Delsgade two thousand years ago because the magic needed to move the fixed magic artifact was unattainable. But with origin magic, in which power is borrowed from an older entity with greater magical power, it is possible to produce extraordinary results. If the power was borrowed from Delsgade two thousand years ago, it is possible to summon Delsgade of the current era, which is closely related to it. The spell moves the castle for five minutes, and a replica made with Iris is left in its place. [40]

Anos can only use Venuzdonoa inside his Demon King Castle. However, he can summon his castle whenever he wants in exchange for using up a lot of his magic power.

"Giral" (magic thread william, Gireru, lit. "Magic thread")

A spell that creates magical threads.

"Greek" (fuegogrega, Gurega, lit. "Flame")

The lowest grade of fire magic.

"Jio pasta" (Hellfire Geoglazed Annihilation Cannon, Jio Gureizu, lit. "Hell Flame Annihilation Mortar")

The highest grade of fire magic within the demon magic system; a powerful miniature jet-black sun that can be launched at the enemy. The projectile is fired using a hellfire mortar created by the combined magic of multiple users, with full control granted to one person. However, Anos can cast the spell single-handedly, even without using the mortar itself.

The jet-black sun attacks your opponent like a comet. In the Mythic Era, one caster could use several Jio Graze, but in the Magic Era, twenty people could only achieve a 20% success rate.

"Schur" (NubesSeguro, Shua, lit. "Wind wave")

"Hi Noavus" (annihilate the black thunder and destroy the teeth of the Noavo, Ji Noavusu, lit. "Annihilation Fang of the Black Thunder")

An ancient spell developed by Anos Voldigoad that unleashes black fangs of lightning that mercilessly latch onto their target and tear at its source until it is destroyed. It is activated by inserting Jirasd into a magic circle drawn with ancient runes. Ji Noavus stands at the limits of ancient magic's ability to amplify small amounts of magic. [5]

"Aged" (Black Thunder Demon Emperor Jirasud, Jirasudo, lit. "Black Thunder Magic Emperor")

An Origin spell that gathers jet-black lightning in the caster's hand and grows in size and power until it is fired at an enemy. Like all Origin spells, it allows the caster to borrow a large amount of magic using risk as a springboard.

A spell that creates air waves to blow away opponents or obstacles. If an enemy is hidden with Lynel and Najila, Schur can be suppressed with a gentle breeze to examine disturbances in the airflow around him and detect them. [44]

"Gig Gaverizd Trot" (Realm of Ashes, Purple, Thunder, Fire and LightningLavia Gigue Gobernada, Ravia Gīgu Gaveryizudo, lit. "Purple Incinerating Lightning Field")

Ceris Voldigoad's signature magic attack with destructive power far surpassing that of Jirasd. Ten magic circles release violet lightning, which connect together to form a larger magic circle. The intertwined magic circle then releases an immense amount of furious violet lightning, turning everything around it into ashes with a blindingly bright explosion and a thunderous roar reminiscent of the end of the world.

"Degzegd" (Deguzuzegudo Magic Curse Destruction, Deguzuzegudo, lit. "Demonic Curse Necrosis Destruction")

A spell that causes dark snake-like marks to appear on the target's body, baring their fangs and cursing the target's magic power to go out of control. This causes their body to gradually decay, eventually leading to their death.

"Aim" (Dark Ball Destroyer, Eimuzu, lit. "Darkness Destruction Ball")

A magic spell that shoots a dark ball of light, which has the power to destroy an average small world. [50]

"I desquesis" (Equal-part fusion of rootsJ Dishaisis, Je Dishaishisu , lit. "Equal-part fusion of sources")

A spell that evenly splits and mixes sources into identical sources. When the spell is cancelled, the sources return to their original state.

"Demera" (darknessofmera, Demera, lit. "Dark Region")

A spell based on Aske's previous version, Jerga, as it imposes Avos Dilhevia's will on those who believe in his existence and empowers Avos Dilhevia and his followers by consuming the magical power of hybrid demons. Additionally, it prevents the use of Gatom and other teleportation magic.
