Ess-Kalyn (MLII)

**Ess-Kalyn** is an *Avernum*-adapted character and major Antagonist in "Miracula Luxia II", namely its fifth Chapter. She is the leader of the barbaric Slithzerikai who are responsible for the numerous attacks on Avernum and the Surface and the pain that they have caused to its residents.

She is also a minor Antagonist in the fourth Chapter who is neither seen, nor mentioned during its events, but is responsible for creating the first Unbound that is seen in the Chapter.

## Overview

*Ess-Kalyn is the leader of the barbaric Slithzerikai. She is an arrogant Slithzerikai mage, who tries to avenge her fallen brothers and sisters who died in the first war between the Humans and the Slithzerikai that happened a few years ago.*

*Armed with some of the most powerful equipment that the Slithzerikai could offer, she uses it to create something truly terrifying... and powerful. Evil as always, she uses her new servants to incinerate every town in the surrounding countryside and (hopefully) purge their residents in the everlasting fire of doom.*

*However, even the most powerful and determined villains can make mistakes which will cost their own lives. Soon, she will be the one to feel the pain that she has been causing for so long.*

## Death

### KIlled By:

* Allister *(Caused)*

Although it is not mentioned on-panel, Allister manages to stab Ess-Kalyn with his enchanted sword during the short time when he fights against her. The wound that he causes starts to slowly weaken her and she is unable to notice that due the fact that she has to stay constantly alert while fighting Jared.

Thus, Allister is directly responsible for her demise.

* Seiko Kaos *(Indirectly Caused)*

By using her spiritual energy to transform Demonslayer into Ragnarok, the legendary blade which Jared uses to kill Ess-Kalyn for good, his mother is indirectly responsible for the villain's demise.

* Jared Kaos

Jared fights Ess-Kalyn within her domain, managing to get the upper hand and making her supposedly fall to her death. Unfortunately, this proves to be false and she returns, more powerful than ever.

During their final confrontation, he uses the legendary sword Ragnarok to make his way through her unholy defenses. He succeeds and swings it at her, slowly disintegrating her into tiny bits of black, evil mist.

With a final blow, Jared completely erases the evil leader from existence, setting both the good and the evil part of her spirit free.

## Appearances

* **Chapter IV-** "One For All" *(Not seen/mentioned, responsible for the Unbound that is seen in the Chapter)*
* **Chapter V-** "*Fear The Unbound*" *(First Appearance) (Death)*
