Description
He was born from the absent minded daydreams of a child, that freed him of the shackled form tied to Reveen's image.
He was weakened by the death of that child, his soul and power sealed and stolen by a false God.
He did many things against his soul, things he burdens himself with still.
Not Merit nor no one else save me or Asuna, can free him.
He is the only one, not Karyana or anyone else.
Who could really stop me if he wanted to.
-Anarch.
I decided to try and see what would happen if I put this www.deviantart.com/theunholybo… into PixAi, I ran multiples of it and got some..varied results. This I chose out of them because of how it nailed the amount of times I wrote "Soft", Luriah is a character I reformed from being the main enemy into a sympathetic forced villain who started out as the phantom disguise of true villain Merit, cast aside only to be brought into being by a young Karyana.
Different from the World menders version and even the original version depicted by that first Nightcafe picture, this Luriah (While maybe a bit more clean and unexhausted) is the way he'll appear during the final battle of Remembered Eternity and the Nehelis final enemy. The former being a let loose assault on the weakened Merit he broke free from and unleashed the reserves of his strength to pay back all he and those he cherished had suffered, while the latter will be the last soul the trio of Asha, Apharah and his reborn self will need to help move on, grant the last of the three the body he needs to leave Nehel.
Other interesting bits, Luriah is based off of the second to last of the angel/Heavenly being heirarchy. A Malakh, who are the most common angels despite this Luriah makes his supposed betters look a far cry to him in comparison. An example of similar would be from the Pokemon anime where Ash's Pikachu is stronger than a Raichu, it's evolved form. This is a testament to his strength given normally his type of angel are incredibly power in the case they are on record to one have struck "70,000 Israelites to death and another that singlehandedly killed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers in one night."
A frightening example he is capable of topping even in his corrupted form which actually is weaker than his true power and his awakened power, the latter of which Merit was fearful of as "God" and the latter which Anarch comment would even give him trouble if not stop him.
All that power and it would be in and will be at the command of Asuna and Asha, the two people who have earned his devotion.
