In True Volume 3, Tobio used this form in his battle against the Artificial Devil; Gressil.

## Abilities

**Perfectus Tenebrae Lykaon et Fortis Densus Laelaps** is the Abyss Balance Breaker of Canis Lykaon, that Tobio awakened after mastering his original Balance Breaker; **Night Celestial Slash Dogs**. After he recites a curse-like chant, his entire body becomes covered in darkness taking form as a humanoid black beast that resembles a dog wielding a long and immensely sharp scythe that is capable of effortlessly slicing apart extremely powerful opponents such as clones of Grendel and Ladon, Evil Dragons who are known for their defensive abilities, as well as keeping his original ability Balance Breaker's ability to sprout immense blades from his extended shadows. The scythe are also show to be able to cut through magic and abilities, even those of God-class beings as Tobio was able to use the Balance Breaker to cut through Nyx's darkness barrier. Tobio also demonstrated the ability to alter the wavelength of the scythes as he was able to use that to overcome Gressil's *Resistance* ability, which allows Gressil to grow more resilient to attacks of individuals after getting hit by them.

In addition, the darkness in the surrounding area also forms enormous dogs with jet-black fur that attack opponents with blades carried in their mouths. These dogs can also move through shadows like both Tobio and Jin to attack the blind spots of their foes. even after being destroyed, the dogs can reform from the darkness that Tobio creates. Tobio can also disperse into the shadow dogs and reform into his humanoid form to ward off attacks of most opponents, except those who are true Satan-class or God-class beings.

In True Volume 3, he was able to summon a new scythe covered in black and crimson flames, which is the result of Ame-no Ohabari.

## Chants

Unlike most Balance Breakers, this form requires a chant to activate.

The chant Tobio recites to activate this form is as follows:

*<< — Behowlest the slaying of thousands of mortals and principles >>*
*<< — Besingest the slaying of tens of thousand of goblins and evil omens >>*
*<< — Mine name, which reacheth unto the farthest abyss, tis the Imitation God beguiling the Polar Night and the Midnight Sun >>*
*<< —Thou shalt be exterminated by our own jet black demonic blade >>*
*<< —Thou art merely ephemeral, oh paranormal Creator God >>*
## Trivia

* **Perfectus Tenebrae Lykaon et Fortis Densus Laelaps** is a Abyss-side Balance Breaker.
* Perfectus Tenebrae Lykaon et Fortis Densus Laelaps means "Perfect Darkness Wolf and Strong Dense Hunter".
	+ Why Laelaps means "Hunter" in this case is because Laelaps is the name of a dog in Greek mythology that always caught what he hunted and so would refer to how Tobio's dogs always catch their 'prey'.
