The Seven Godslayers
Hello everyone, it's been a while. I am the author, Takedzuki Jou.
On this occasion, the publisher asked me to write up a manuscript for bonus material to be included with the manga...
As a result, contrary to my usual practice, I wanted to talk about some secret details about the background setting.
The main topic is about "The Seven Godslayers."
Possessing many troublesome abilities—mainly devilish abilities for tormenting the author's creativity.
In other words, the power to "seek victory against hopeless odds."
Rather than power, perhaps it might be more apt to describe it as "the obstinate willpower to struggle for survival."
If it weren't for this special quality, I think life would be much easier for me as the author.
For example, "Godou vs Marquis Voban—Of course the Marquis will obtain overwhelming victory!"
If that were the case, I wouldn't need to write the manga's 3rd volume or the novel's 2nd volume.
Our protagonist would have lost directly, thus ending the story.
Without a hot-blooded climax in the plot at all, it'd be super easy and relaxing to write (wry laugh).
However, those godslayers are all fellows who refuse to give the author an easy time.
This leaves me no choice but to write a bit about the character profiles I've accumulated.
The information about authorities is limited to those that have either appeared or mentioned in the original story.
Take Marquis Voban for example, he still possesses other authorities not listed here, but it is currently not the right time to
reveal them...
Sasha Dejanstahl Voban

1. Physical Endurance: super strong
2. Athletic Ability: agile as a wolf
3. Intelligence: flawlessly perfectly smart

Authorities
•
Legion of Hungry Wolves
◦
◦
◦
Capable of summoning dozens to hundreds of demonic wolves as familiars. Also allows Marquis Voban to
transform himself into a wolf or a werewolf.
Furthermore, this authority allows him to turn other people into wolves (permanently).
Occasionally, the Marquis would turn subordinates into werewolves for punishment/reward/pranking
purposes.
An ability to summon storms and control wind, rain and lightning. If the Marquis depletes his entire stamina to
invoke this authority, climate can be controlled on a country's scale.
Allows those who were personally killed by the Marquis to be turned into undead ghosts and servants.
Invoked at locations such as ancient battlefields or graveyards, it can also reveal the number and facial
appearances of the dead present. This authority allows communication with the souls of the dead and can
force them to answer questions. The Marquis has turned several divine beasts slain by him into undead
servants. These divine beasts are currently sleeping underground at the Marquis' homeland of the Balkans.
Unlike ordinary servants, these beasts cannot be summoned by teleportation due to their excessively
powerful spiritual energy.
All living organisms turn into salt crystals after being gazed upon by the Eyes of Sodom.
There is no limit to the number of targets. Thousands or tens of thousands present can be turned into salt at
the same time, but unlike Athena's petrification, this does not affect inorganic matter. When using this
authority, Marquis Voban's vision is extended to a range of several kilometers, combined with the power of
seeing through obstacles without hindrance. This move essentially cannot turn gods or godslayers into salt,
but it is possible to turn parts of the opponent's body into salt for short durations.
Upon use, the physical body enters a state of suspended animation while the ectoplasm transforms into a
giant black dragon.
The dragon is tangible and capable of extreme destruction but the original body becomes vulnerable.
Turned into a dragon, the spirit can travel to and from the Astral Plane (Netherworld, Boundary between Life
and Immortality).
•
Sturm und Drang
◦
•
Death Ring
◦
•
Curse of Sodom
◦
◦
•
Otherland's Dragon

This authority also grants Voban the ability to resurrect from death through expending a massive amount of
magical power. However, recovering the lost magical power requires at least one or two months.
Summoning heavenly fire from the sky that can even incinerate gods to nothing, it turns the entire ground into
a sea of flames.
As a minimum, the flames will spread across an area large enough to devour an entire city.
After that, Voban can stop the flames if he chooses to do so. Of course, letting them continue is fine as well.
These flames can burn for at least seven days and seven nights. An authority used for scorched earth tactics
rather than direct combat.

Notes

Let's start by introducing the Marquis who is the most senior out of the seven godslayers. Liliana has clearly
stated many times that the Marquis is a man without hobbies. Actually, he loves sports. His character profile
states that the multicentenarian Marquis frequently practices boxing on punching bags, undergoes weight training,
and rides his custom-made bicycle to become the "Speed Demon Marquis." In any case, the Marquis is an
orthodox villain and also a dark hero. One day, it'll be quite fun for me to write about the Marquis' leisurely stay in
Victorian England.
Also, one other idea I have is—Back then, the Witenagemot selected experts to form a secret organization, the
Diogenes Club, to lurk hidden by the Marquis' side.

The Power & Dragon Voice
◦
Because the authorities of divine might and ultrasonic songs are very simple powers, there isn't anything
particularly special in their backgrounds, so it's pretty much as described in Volumes 6 and 7.
The ability to create plant life in the surroundings. Effects can be controlled to the size of a small meadow of
flowers or turning the entire Japan into a jungle, with time and magical power requirements. Apart from
ordinary vegetation, man-eating or sentient plants can even be created. If Her Eminence were to invoke this
authority at full power, even turning the entire China into a Rotten Sea is no difficult task—
The area where Her Eminence Luo Hao makes her residence will automatically prosper. In the beginning, soil
will become rich and agriculture will produce bumper crops. This authority also works on an economic level,
resulting in astounding industrial development in the area. Blessed by various degrees of good fortune, the
inhabitants gradually rise in class and quality, producing stability in government. However, this authority
requires a certain level of population in an area before it can activate. Also, decline will quickly set in after Her
Eminence leaves.

Terrible Metropolis

Notes
•
Second is the transcendent beauty and the most vicious devil king, Luo Hao-oneesama, original name Luo
Cuilian. As the author, I believe she is the most moe character in the entire
Campione!
series. Readers who only
follow the manga adaptation probably have no idea who Luo Hao is, right? Please immediately head over to the
bookshop and buy Volumes 6 and 7 of the novel to see how outrageous—no, how great—she is (laugh).
Also, the authorities of godslayers are not all necessarily used for combat. Depending on their respective
personalities and interests, there are many examples of strategic, spellcraft-related or ritual-type authorities.
These tendencies are particularly obvious in Her Eminence's case. As for why she would have such tendencies,
naturally, it's because of her matter-of-fact pride.
Example: "Standing at the pinnacle of the martial path, I already have the peerless Divine Might and Dragon's
Roar, why would I need any other special moves? ...Redundant!" Since she is someone who calls herself "the
pinnacle of the martial path," naturally, she could not be bothered to collect troublesome finishing moves or attack
incantations (wry laugh).

Madame Aisha finally enters the stage in Volume 14 of the novel series. Prior to becoming a godslayer, she lived
a magnificent life worthy of a world-class play. As for her appearance, personality and authorities, I've always
wanted to write about a benevolent troublemaker and the actual result turned out great as expected. I'd be
spoiling Volumes 14 and 15 if I wrote about her authorities, so I'll omit them for now. In contrast to the gentleness
of her appearance and personality, her every action ends up causing trouble for others. Her authorities also confer
abilities that match her personality.
