Shadow Prison

Shadow Prison, also known as the Prison of the Dragon, is the Sacred Gear wielded by Saji Genshirou of Sona Sitri's peerage. It is one of the four Vritra's Sacred Gears, which hold the soul of the eponymous Evil Dragon inside of them.
==Summary==
Shadow Prison is one of the four Sacred Gears which hold fragments of the soul and consciousness of the legendary Evil Dragon Vritra from Hindu mythology inside of them. According to Indra, it is unclear how the Biblical God managed to get a hold of Vritra's soul, though he himself has no intention to ever find out why.
Sometimes in the 1960s, the former wielder of Shadow Prison was captured and brought to the Grigori's base in Purgatory to have their Sacred Gear extracted out of their body in order to complete Azazel's Sacred Gear collection.
After the Kuoh Treaty was signed, to satisfy his own curiosity about what would happen if all four Vritra's Sacred Gears are placed within the same user, Azazel "" Saji Genshirou, the wielder of Absorption Line, and implanted the three other Sacred Gears inside of him, including the Shadow Prison.
==Appearance==
Shadow Prison takes the form of dozens of snake-headded purple tentacles with golden rings and small ruby eyes. When the user's angered or feeling threatened, the tentacles will assume a much more frightening form of massive coiling venomous serpents growing out of the user's hair and body.
==Abilities==
Shadow Prison has the ability to bind, imprison, and/or otherwise stop any object or being by completely surrounding them within an absolute darkness. While sealed within the darkness, any being imprisoned will have their body frozen while their their consciousness remains active as their life-force is slowly drained away, and after an extended amount of time, their body will disintegrate into the darkness entirely.
It is extremely difficult to break through the darkness, not even by the light created by Light Magic or by the gods' divine power, as only the intense light used in the light constructs of the angels and fallen angels are capable of this particular feat.
==Techniques==
===Vritra Promotion===
Vritra Promotion (), also known as Dragon King Transformation, is a technique Saji Genshirou created by combining all of his Vritra's Sacred Gears. It allows him to temporarily assume Vritra's giant dragon form at the cost of losing his sanity and his lifespan being shortened by a year every ten minutes he remains in this form. Upon achieving his Balance Breaker, he can now enter this state without losing his mind.
==Forms==
===Malebolge Vritra Promotion===
Malebolge Vritra Promotion (), also known as the Dragon King's Flame Prison of Guilt, is Saji Genshirou's X-Side Balance Breaker of his Vritra's Sacred Gears, which includes his Shadow Prison. It creates a black dragon Scale Mail which strengthens the user's powers and abilities, with a dark aura generated by Shadow Prison which disintegrates any weapon or attack that comes into contact with him.
==Trivia==
*Like all Vritra's Sacred Gears, it is considered a Trap-type Sacred Gear.
