Darian

## Summary

**Darian** is the leader of the Invincible Battalion and an antagonist from *Volume 5*. He is a reincarnated human who had been given powers by Malna-Rilna. Being the Second Prince of the Manii Kingdom, he was royalty, but had no interest in the throne. Instead, he travelled through the kingdom, enjoying the sight and helping people, leaping in to assist at the first sign of trouble.

At some point, he started recruiting other reincarnated humans like him, and with them, he eventually founded the Invincible Battalion, a group of ten people clad in a special armor made by Darian, which makes them invincible to attacks. He is exceptionally lucky, as most things that happened in his life contributed to his favor.

## Appearance

Darian is described as man possessing features similar to that of Richard's. He is clad in military uniform.

## Personality

Darian is the kind of man that always tries to follow the law, even if that means to kill people. However, he is always very polite and tries to avoid unnecessary bloodshed unless he has no other choice, preferring to resolve situations in a more diplomatic and consensual manner. His demeanor is stated to be calm and confident, truly exuding the air of a prince.

Despite being a prince, he had no interest in the throne, and decided instead to travel around the world, helping any people in need that met his sight. His ultimate goal was to save humanity. To that end, he sought to push the powers he possessed to the absolute limit, so that he could fight the existences known as Sages, Aggressors, and Dark Gods. While his ultimate objective involved acquiring power to himself, he still refused to overlook the suffering of other people.

After witnessing and understanding Yogiri's power, he deemed that the boy should not be allowed to live, as it is a threat to all living things, with Darian stating that all lifeforms had the right to criticize such an existence.

Despite being very levelheaded, he crumbled at the sight of Yogiri's true form, leading Darian to kill himself and travel to the past of another timeline to escape. However, it was proven futile, as the thing still existed even in that past, watching Darian's existence constantly, which gradually turned him insane.

## Abilities

* **System Engineer:** The first power Darian received by Malna-Rilna, the class of System Engineer from The System. An irregular class that would never appear naturally. It allows him to freely influence and rule over the Gift of other people, analyzing and negating their powers completely, and can manipulate time and space in the same way.
* **Magic Talent:** Darian was already born as innate genius when it came to magic, being able to easily cast the most complex of spells without issues. With his intellect, he was able to perform complex magic formations that enabled him to create the invincible armor, a feat that no one has ever done before. He is smart enough to properly influence the foundations of The System, which directly requires very involved procedures and complex instructions.
* **Immense Magic Power:** Darian has monstrous magic power. He was able to casually vanish an entire plane of landscape into a vast emptiness with a single magic blast.
* **Invincible Armor:** Darian is clad in an armor that makes him completely invulnerable, protecting him from physical and magical attacks. Stated to be miraculously powerful, the armor neutralizes all spells, prevents any sort of status ailment, and stops any attack element completely.
* **Bind:** Darian can manifest light chains which snakes around the target, preventing them from moving.
* **Telepathy:** Darian can pry his way into the surface level of someone's consciousness through the Gift, allowing him to read their mind to an extent.
* **Temporal Immortality:** Once Darian dies, he can go back in time as many as ten days into the past. He can choose the exact time and date to return to.
* **Time Stop:** Darian can stop time for an hour. During this time, only Darian himself can move, but he is not allowed to use magic, requiring to finish his enemies physically instead.
