Notable Attacks/Techniques:
The Malleus Maleficarum I – Caligula: A Relic Eater, a special Magical Heritage used by the Inquisition’s Dullahans that is specialized in anti-magic combat and designed for the eradication of witches. Caligula takes the form of a large black-colored five-shot revolver that shoots 50 cal sized bullets. A Relic Eater user can summon their Relic Eater to their side at any time. The Relic Eater also helps them during combat by analyzing the enemy and their magic. Caligula’s magic property is "Tyrant", the only naturally destructive magical property besides "Dragon". As part of the contract, Caligula demands "strength", it will suck its user’s life force as payment. As the test type for Relic Eaters, it doesn’t have an anti-magic property.
*Intrinsic Performance: The destructive power of Caligula’s jet-black magic bullets depends on the user’s life force, allowing Hayato, who has an unnaturally high life force due to his status as a hero vessel, to shoot bullets that hold much more power than their size would suggest, with the gun’s shots sounding more like an anti-ship cannon or artillery fire. However, in exchange the user has to manually load every bullet on the gun, and they cannot reload it until they have spent all five bullets. By increasing the gun’s power Hayato can shoot huge bullets that look like black lightning and cause large explosions.
*Tyrant Enchantment: Caligula's intrinsic magic. Three jet-black magic circles appear on Hayato's elbow. His fist is clad in pitch black lightning swirling around it, building up the destructive Tyrant-type magic for a powerful punch.
*Regeneration: A Relic Eater can heal their user’s wounds using magic, being able to heal things like cuts or crushed bones in an instant.
*Telepathy: A Relic Eater can communicate with their user via telepathy, and they can also connect the user to a third party by using magic resonance.
*Witch Hunter Form: A intrinsic magic shared by all Relic Eaters where the Relic Eater forms a magic armor around the user’s body, significantly enhancing their power and all body functions except for brain activity. In Caligula’s case, Hayato is covered in jet-black armor.
The Malleus Maleficarum II – Maximilien: A Relic Eater, a special Magical Heritage used by the Inquisition’s Dullahans that is specialized in anti-magic combat and designed for the eradication of witches. Maximilien takes the form of a large single-shot silver revolver. A Relic Eater user can summon their Relic Eater to their side at any time. The Relic Eater also helps them during combat by analyzing the enemy and their magic. Its personality is female and its magic property is “Revolution”.
*Intrinsic Performance: Maximilien shoots a single silver-colored and pea-sized magic bullet. This bullet is enchanted with the ability to diffuse all energy it touches. Magic, magical power, physical force, all energy is instantly converted into magical power and harmlessly diffused into the air in the form of silver particles. Even armor made using magic like Witch Hunter Form and buffing spells like Haunted’s brain acceleration magic can be diffused by its bullets. However, since Maximilien only holds one bullet, it must be manually reloaded after each shot.
**Explosion: Hayato can pull the trigger before reloading Maximilien. In this case, Maximilien's offensive application is used. The silver particles previously diffused into the air rush the enemy, condensing and concentrating into a small silver light before detonating into a brutal explosion. Hayato can regulate the power of this attack. At full power the explosion is comparable to a nuclear reactor meltdown or a nuclear weapon, though contained to a much smaller area.
*Heaven's Decree, Reformation — Resistance: Maximilien's intrinsic magic. Maximilien only allows use of this magic when its wielder is at a definite disadvantage, when they are both physically and mentally cornered. Given his strength, Hayato had never used it before being mortally wounded during his fight with Haunted, where he lost both his legs, right arm and half his face to Haunted’s Tindalos summon. Once activated, this intrinsic magic causes all the damage suffered by Hayato to disappear as if it had never happened in the first place, while also undoing any negative magical effects currently applied on his body. All of this damage and magic is converted into energy and multiplied dozens of times, filling Maximilien’s muzzle with an incredible level of energy before shooting a small light filled with tremendous destructive power. Although it resets all events hurting him to truly bring him back from a helpless situation, after using it Hayato is left completely drained of power.
*Witch Hunter Form: A intrinsic magic shared by all Relic Eaters where the Relic Eater forms a magic armor around the user’s body, significantly enhancing their power and all body functions except for brain activity. Hayato has only used Maximilien while simultaneously using Caligula, which adds silver color to Caligula’s jet-black armor.
