Plot[]
Volume1[]
After getting informed that there exists a person who can use Purification Magic he orders his subordinate Uliminas to find out the identity of this person and capture him.
Volume 2[]
After the failed attempts of his subordinates to capture Flio, he decided to go there himself and talk with him, since violence didn't work. He wanted to persuade him man to man. Due to the Anti-Demon Field, which Flio made, he couldn't enter their house and thus he observed them for a while. Balirossa noticed him and due to her not knowing who he was, she threatened him to go away or else he would die by her hands. He left after requesting her to ask Fenrys if they could meet and he told Balirossa his name, which was the name he uses when he is in his human-form Ghozal. Back in the Dark Citadel he talked to Uliminas about the very capable Anti-Demon Barrier. And thought of how impressive and brave Balirossa was.
On another day he stood before Flio's house and Fenrys opened him the door. He was permitted to enter and was very surprised and visibly happy after seeing Balirossa, he even sit next to her. He tried to pressure Flio to become a part of his Dark Army but he declined. After hearing from Flio that he has no interest in Fighting and isn't even from this realm, thus not even knowing why the Humans and Demons fight, he was shocked that nobody ever bothered to tell him why there is such a big war. He goes on to tell Flio about the history and the origin of the war: The war started 500 years ago, after the First Dark One arose. Why the war really began knows nobody. He goes on saying, that a very long time ago, came a powerful entity to this realm and wanted to conquer it. The Demons, who by that time were being opressed by humanity, embraced him as the First Dark One. As the war continued, the hatred between the races grew and due to the Humans seizing the Power of the Djinns, who were created by the Fourth Dark One, half of this worlds population was killed.
After hearing the story, Flio asked Ghozal if he want's to stop the fighting, to which he replied that he doesn't want to fight, but if there is something that threatens his people then he can't just sit still. While saying that he let out a powerful pressure and part of his face turned into that of his Demon-Form. He asked Flio if he wanted to join his army, but he declined again, showing no signs of fear towards his pressure.
Because that didn't work he decided to retreat for the time being and while on his way out, he noticed, that Balirossa was still conscious after him releasing his Pressure, thus he began to develop an even greater liking/interest towards her. But in fact, Balirossa was unconscious but had her eyes still open.
Several weeks later in the Dark Citadel, Ghozal is leaving to visit Flio, but he gets interrupted by Uliminas, who told him that visiting Flio is not safe, but Ghozal didn't care and flew away. While flying he thinks about his other visits and that Balirossa always had things to do when he was over, so he hoped to be able to speak with her today. He stopped mid-air, since he noticed a commotion coming from near Flio's house.
After he came out of the forest, he was shocked, that Flio and the house were gone. He was also surprised to see the new hero. He got angry at them, since they drove away something that was very important to him. He unleashed his pressure and transformed into his Demon-Form. At the same time, he let out a loud scream, calling his army. He told them to assemble and attack Klyrode.
While observing the ongoing battle, the Silent Listeners came to his and Uliminas's side. At some point, he said to Uliminas to withdraw, which surprised her. He made his forces retreat, since a purification spell was about to be casted and he didn't want any Demons to die, plus he was satisfied with the outcome.
Trivia[]
- He stated the original Demon King was a human, thus explaining why Ghozal can take an almost inconspicuous human form unlike other demons.
