Alikred, or Ali, is a physical embodiment of the Ring of Gluttony.
Appearance[]
Alikred's appearance depends on Iruma's demon rank. As Aleph until Beth (1st to 2nd Demon Ranking), the form appeared like a small shadow shaped like a miasma ghost. It also had a tiny pair of arms and ears, though it could shift its size to become bigger if it wanted to. It also had a cranky, outlandish face, as if it was always hungry.
After the acquisition of Gimel (3rd Demon Ranking), Iruma gave Alikred a new form with Cherusil, Alikred's second form assumes a more human-like appearance. Alikred has only one eye, a pair of big long pointed ears that stick up from its head, and a large long tail connected to the ring. In this form, Alikred wears a black waistcoat and pants, including a matching set of gloves and shoes, with a white shirt underneath.
Once Iruma became Dalet (Rank 4), Alikred felt incredibly tired and had to sleep until Iruma became He (Rank 5). Once becoming He (Rank 5), Alikred could grow in size and be as large as Iruma himself but decided to stay small to better conceal himself, which felt more natural. He is also no longer attached to Iruma's ring but still cannot go far from Iruma (About 15-ish meters).
Personality[]
In its first form as a ghost-like appearance, it was incapable of consciousness/personality or intelligence at all, but a gluttonous and cranky ghost, as it screamed so loudly that all in the school heard the cry, much to their dismay. It was shown to have mellowed out thanks to Clara's lullaby.
Alikred eventually gained intelligence, and with it came a playful prankster personality. However, Alikred still holds his protective nature over Iruma, risking himself to prevent Iruma's true identity as a human from being exposed to the teachers at Babyls when Balam realizes that Iruma has no wing roots.
Story Overview[]
Introduction Arc[]
Alikred shrieks out loud.
Alikred comes to life after Iruma obtains the Ring of Gluttony from the ranking owl. Everyone was creeped out by its appearance, which was then made worse when it shrieked loudly enough for the entire school to hear it. It was extremely hungry and therefore attacked indiscriminately anyone who approached Iruma. Alikred drained Alice and Sabro's magical power when they tried to get near Iruma. Kalego then approaches to look at it, but it quickly retaliates by showing a threat of a dangerous illusion that it will cut his hand off if he tries to come closer.
Sullivan stops Alikred
Kalego is stopped briefly by the sudden appearance of Lord Sullivan when he is about to rip Iruma's arms off. When the creature was about to attack Sullivan, he stopped it from running amok by making it gobble a large amount of his magic power. Quickly becoming full, it shrinks down and returns to its ring, where it resides while satiated.
Relationships[]
Iruma Suzuki[]
Ali is quite loyal to Iruma as he sees him as his master since Iruma wears the ring. After acquiring the rank of Hé (5), Ali tells Iruma that they are inseparable and won't survive without one another.
Abilities[]
- Demonic Scream: When first awoken, it used a loud and piercing scream that made every demon within its radius cover their ears in pain. It is either harmless to humans or the person holding the ring.
- High Magic Absorption: It can drain magic from individuals at such a rate with a mere touch. It can incapacitate low-ranking demons.
- Danger Sense: Similarly to its master, it has a powerful ability to detect potential threats to itself.
- Shapeshifting: Being an entity of the ring, Alikred can morph his appearance to better suit his own personality or tease Iruma. Though he needed Iruma's help to envision most of his transformation, he had better knowledge of changing his appearance.
- Size Manipulation: After his master moved to rank He (5), Ali can now alter his size to even be as big as Iruma or small as a doll.
- Unnamed Personality Change Inducement: It possesses an ability that can induce a change in one's personality. Alikred uses a variant that is similar to a demon's evil cycle.
Trivia[]
- Alikred is Derkila spelled backward.
- Alikred and Derkila have the same voice actors in Japanese and English. However, there are languages where this does not happen, such as the version of the dubbing into Latin Spanish, where both characters have different voice actors.
