The Ring of Gluttony (悪食の指輪 Akujiki no Yubiwa?, or the Gluttonous Feeder Ring in the English Dub) is not the Ring of Solomon. This ring is an apparatus that feeds on mana, storing it for future uses for any demon that doesn't have magical powers.
The person who possesses this ring is said by the Demon King's Prophecy to be the one to rise to power and fill the empty position of the Demon King.
Appearance[]
A golden ring that looks very simplistic at first but is then edited by Lord Sullivan to have a gear-like function that switches between different modes of magic output. The modes are inscribed with the Demon World's words for Devil, Demon, Ifrit, and Pandora. These scripted words appear as shapes such as squares, rectangles, and triangles. However, Pandora mode appears more as a demonic eye similar to the demon cameras.
Personality[]
Initially, the ring was nothing more than a magic-hungry "thing" that screamed and attacked anyone with magic. Once Sullivan gave some of his magic its manifestation, it returned inside the ring and stayed quiet. However, once Iruma began to rise up in the ranks, the ring started to become sentient. Once Iruma became a Bet (Rank 2), the ring gained a sense of awareness. The ring's awareness grew stronger once Iruma ranked up to Gimel (Rank 3). Eventually, it popped out one day as Alikred, who's a generally laid-back magical being of the ring that occasionally advises Iruma and helps him when he's in danger, and sometimes does things to mess with Iruma, such as casting a spell to put him through an artificial evil cycle, which lasts for several days. After the ranking up of Iruma to Hé (Rank 5), Alikred is taller.
Functions[]
- Devil Mode: This is the lowest power output it has, able to make a small fire.
- Demon Mode: Has a stronger output than LDM.
- Ifrit Mode: The strongest mode available without special requirements can make a large fire several times larger than LDM's fire.
- Pandora Mode: The ring's final and most powerful mode that uses all the magic available, leaving the host vulnerable to all attacks. The host must say Pandora (Pandoroola in the anime) to be activated.

Libera | With an object thrown alongside when incanted, this spell creates a presumable energy-based eastern-shaped dragon for attacks that rush towards its target. When used in Pandora Mode, the color of the energy further darkens, which is strong enough to break through Kirio's enhanced barriers. | Devil Mode Pandora Mode |

Trivia[]
- The Ring of Gluttony shares similarities with "Derflinger" from the anime "Zero no Tsukaima/The Familiar of Zero."
- Both absorb magic for future usage, host a living entity, and give to the main protagonist, destined for greatness.
- Pandora came from the Greek story "Pandora's Box," where the girl Pandora is given a box containing all the world's evils, and the apocalypse will begin when she opens it.
