Izayoi Hyoudou/Warlord Nightmare

**Warlord Nightmare**, otherwise known as "Wrath of the Extinction Queen" is a High-Tier Longinus-Class Sacred Gear. It is the first and the strongest Longinus-Class Sacred Gear that the God of Bible had created.

## **Summary**

Not much is known about **Warlord Nightmare** other than the facts that it houses the soul of Epis- an ancient being of unknown origins- and that its previous user was King Gilgamesh before Izayoi.

## **Appearance**

**Warlord Nightmare** has no definitive form as it was created long before the concepts of modern day weaponry came into being, therefore it can take any form the user desires it to.

In Izayoi's case, he had switched juggled between swords, shield and guns.

## **User(s)**

* Unknown Users
* King Gilgamesh
* Izayoi Hyoudou

## **Abilities**

**No Return:** Any wounds dealt to enemies no matter how minor or major will never heal unless the user allows it. This is a passive ability with the aim “to leave irrecoverable wounds”.

**Scarlet Extinction Flames:** Scarlet flames that embody the concepts of "Heat", “Burn” and “Erasure” capable of killing anything down to its very core leaving nothing behind. The flames are so powerful that the Biblical God was unable to seal them away.

## **Balance Breaker**

**Skeletal Panoply of Eradication:** It is the Balance Breaker of **Warlord Nightmare**.

Upon activation, a surge of energy covers the user and explodes outwards after a few seconds to reveal them in a scarlet full body armor with gold as secondary color. The armor is menacing in appearance in that, the shoulder pads, elbow guards and the knee guards are all shaped like screaming skulls with sharp teeth and sharp pointed horns coming out of the eye sockets. The gauntlets and greaves have razor sharp retractable claws at the fingertips and toes. The helmet is designed like a skull with two long forward protruding horns from the rear sides of the head, and two more horns protruding from the nape, curving around the neck protectively, stopping over the collarbones.

* **The Annihilation Armor:** The armor makes the user nigh-invincible making it extremely difficult for the enemies to wound them, let alone deal a fatal blow. At the beginning only opponents on par with Dragon Kings could deal significant damage to Izayoi, but after mastery, only Gods and opponents on par with the Heavenly Dragons could deal significant damage to him.
* **Incarnation of Death:** An aura of death spreads around the battlefield striking terror in the hearts of enemies and allies alike. This ability makes sure that should the user want, even a nick can instantly kill the enemy. The drawback is that if the enemy is stronger than them, they need to leave a severe or *disabling* wound such as cutting the tendons of a limb to kill their enemies.

## **Drawbacks**

The Balance Breaker is extremely draining and hard to maintain for long duration of time. Going over the limits would result in the user being comatose, or in worse case scenario, dead.

At first, Izayoi could use the Balance Breaker only for two minutes, but over time he could maintain it for as long as he desired.

## **Trivia**

1. This Sacred Gear has be reworked a total of three times.
2. Warlord Nightmare had two of its features removed in the third rework. The first being its form and the second being two passive abilities.
