## Story

### The Demon Realm's Princess

Helkart makes her first appearance when she visited Kuroki teaching Pipipolenna. Helkart asked Kuroki's permission to visit Kuna.

She travelled to Sweet Castle to meet with Datie.

She returned to the Sweet Castle and gathered the Evil Gods to kill Midou Reiji.

Helkart stop Haruses and Thores from fighting, as she states that the other gods are waiting for them to thin out the competition.

Helkart say Alphos is strong, and perhaps more stronger than Odis.

When Chiyuki, Nao, Rino and Shirone were going to support Reiji, Helkart prevented them. Helkart ask Girtalu to assist her, as watching the fight was boring, to which Girtalu reluctantly agrees to help. Helkart was the opponent of Chiyuki and Rino. Totona respectfully greeted Helkart and explained that she is here to collect Thores back to Elios.

### The Phantom Death Capital

She attends the meeting of the Nargol Pantheon in the Demon King palace.

She accompanies Kuroki and his forces to Walluchia because she feels responsible for making him going to Walluchia.

She is in charge of Kuroki's forces when he was absent.

She is displeased with Pipipolenna coming to Walluchia.

When Kuroki and Kuna returned back to the skyship, she noticed his conditions. She used the soul orb to treat Kuroki's wounds.

After finishing Kuroki's treatment, Helkart went to support Kuna. She takes over and fights against Zalbuth. She overwhelms Zalbuth. She was astonished with Kuroki's fast recovery by taking in Nargol's shadow. Zalxis summoned Motgal against Kuroki's group and they barely defended from it's attack. Helkart supported Kuroki and Kuna deploying the Black Rose Garden. Helkart, Guno and the others prevented the death kin from cutting the thorns of the Black Rose Garden.

### The Fairy Forest

She was present when Nut reported Kuroki had prevented Ferion's revival.

## Abilities

She is knowledgeable with medicines and Herbs. In that field, even Lugus; the god of knowledge, couldn't compete with.

* **Devil's Face Pox** (鬼面瘡, *Kimen kasa*?)
* **Seven Colours of Healing Light** (七色の癒しの光, *Nanairo no iyashi no hikari*?)
* **Protection of the Rainbow** (虹の守り, *Niji no mori*?)

## Development

Her original material is **Hecate** (ヘカテー, *Hekatē*?) in Greek mythology and **Heqet** (ヘケト, *Heketo*?) in Egyptian mythology.

The author thought of adding magic **Seven Colours Bell Spin Wise Holy Light** (七色鐘紡賢聖光カーネ・ボウ・チウィーク・ガーシ, *Nanairo Kanebō Ken seikōKāne Bō Chiuīku Gāshi*?), it was stopped because it was thought to be a rushed material.
