Exorcist

The **Exorcists** (エクソシスト *Ekusoshisuto*) are members of the Church that are tasked with killing Devils, Fallen Angels, Vampires and Demonic Creatures that can potentially harm Humans.

## History

Exorcists mainly consist of priests and nuns from the Church. All Exorcists have been extensively trained in the Church from a young age, resulting in them possessing abilities that greatly surpass that of normal humans. Occasionally, there may be an Exorcist that strays from the teachings of God and are exiled from the Church, becoming a Stray Exorcist (はぐれエクソシスト *Hagure Ekusoshisuto*). Stray Exorcists usually go to the Fallen Angel's side, though the Stray Exorcist may approach other groups as well.

Following the formation of the Peace Treaty between the Three Factions and the creation of the Brave Saint, most of the skilled exorcists were recruited into the Brave Saint, while the remainders lost their purpose in life as Devils, who were the Church's main enemies, have become their allies, with the only enemies the exorcists now fight being Monsters and supernatural beings who refuse to ally with the church. This eventually leads to a rebellion lead by Vasco Strada and Ewald Cristaldi.

## Equipment

Exorcists are equipped with many tools to help them battle supernatural beings. Among the tools that Exorcists have are Light Swords, crosses, the Bible and Holy Water, as well as guns loaded with light bullets, which are harmful to devils. Exorcists with greater skills can be given more powerful weapons such as the Holy Swords, however, these rare people would need to have a natural aptitude for them or have the Light Container implanted into them.

The Higher-ups Exorcists have holy power and can use magic and recite a chant to create a barrier of holy energy the strength of the barrier can be further enhanced by Blessing to trap their opponent.

There are also Exorcists that are born with Sacred Gears and use it as their main weapon over the usual equipment.

The **Sacred Beasts** also known as the **Five Sacred Beasts** (五神, *Goshin*), are five mythical creatures under the guardianship of the Five Principal Clans.

## Summary

Since ancient times, the Yellow Dragon, Ouryuu (Nakiri); the Azure Dragon, Seiyuu (Kushihashi), the Vermillion Bird, Suzaku (Himejima); the Black Tortoise, Genbu (Doumon); and the White Tiger, Byakko (Shrina) have been under the guardianship of the Five Principal Clans with their host being chosen by the Sacred Beasts themselves and those chosen hosts also inherit their names, as well as being the next head of their respective clans. They are noted to have such immense power that even Daiyoukais could not oppose the Five Principal Clans because of their existence.

According to Vali, one of the current hosts of the Sacred Beasts, Ouryuu Nakiri was noted to be so powerful that not even the Balance Breakers of Longinus possessors can defeat him, which is proven as even Tobio Ikuse in Balance Breaker couldn't defeat him albeit he injured him, however, the latter was barely even using ten-percent of his power.

 Black TortoiseXuánwŭ (玄武げんぶ, *Genbu*)
 White TigerBáihŭ (白虎びゃっこ, *Byakko*)
 Vermillion BirdZhūquè (朱雀すざく, *Suzaku*)
 Yellow DragonHuánglóng (黄龍おうりゆう, *Ōryū*)

## Powers and Abilities

All of the Sacred Beasts wield immense powers based upon their respective elements ranging from Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Their powers alone make the Five Principal Clans untouchable by even Daiyoukai who could rival Ultimate-Class Devils. When a Sacred Beast forms a pact with their chosen host after undergoing the ceremony to inherit them, the possessor can summon them onto the battlefield and/or enhance the effectiveness of Shinto Rituals, Eastern Magic spells and spiritual powers as shown by Suzaku and Seiryuu in the form of their auras.

Ouryuu hosts, such as Ouryuu Nakiri, the "Strongest Ouryuu in History", have access to the "Dragon Veins", which flows underneath him due to the Yellow Dragon's "Earth" Element, thus granting him an almost limitless earth-based ki, control of the earth itself, and allows him to sense the movement of others using it.

In addition to this, their host can perform a "Spiritual Synthesis", by fusing with their Sacred Beasts, transforming into a humanoid hybrid version of their specific Sacred Beast, as shown by Byakko Shinra.
