Tarosse

Tarosse is a Ba-Serpent divine beast and full God who once guarded the lower eleven floors of the Necropolis of the Gods. Playful and irreverent around most people but obedient to Beirut, he returns to the Yulan continent as the former King of the South Seas, helps protect Dragonblood Castle from newly arrived Deities, and ultimately chooses to leave the material plane for the Infernal Realm. (Chapters 365–366, 412–449).

Biography

Yulan'S Reckoning And Mount Copper Gong

Tarosse first reveals his human identity after the survivors leave the Necropolis of the Gods. As its Ba-Serpent guardian, he had killed Saints who violated the lower floors’ rules, yet he quietly spared Barker Armand by striking him into an exit. In the form of a devilish green-haired youth, he jokes with Linley Baruch, celebrates seeing his old friend Dylin, and immediately obeys when Beirut calls him to order. His decade-long duty ends with a return to the South Seas, the home he says he has missed. (Chapters 365–366).

When Ojwin pursues Linley and Olivier Akerlund, Tarosse arrives with Dylin and refuses Ojwin’s demand that they remain neutral. Olivier has no prior claim on his loyalty, but Tarosse will not let another God dictate his choices or make him appear afraid. He disperses a surprise attack aimed at Olivier, fights Ojwin with a freezing green whip and a water-elemental crystal formation, and forces the cautious opponent to retreat. His intervention turns a near-fatal pursuit into a rescue and establishes him as one of Dragonblood Castle’s principal deterrents. (Chapters 412–416).

Ojwin later infiltrates Dragonblood Castle despite Tarosse having spared him twice. Warned by Cesar, Tarosse responds with personal anger and transforms into his enormous Ba-Serpent body. His innate Devour ability swallows Ojwin’s fire divine clone into an immaterial stomach dimension, where escape through ordinary physical force is impossible, and destroys it while leaving the light clone alive. Tarosse can nevertheless be overmatched by a stronger opponent: during the next assault, Barnas restrains him until Beirut’s sons intervene, after which Tarosse openly acknowledges that his longstanding suspicion about their concealed power was correct. (Chapters 421, 426).

Tarosse remains in the Yulan continent partly for the prospect of seeing the Necropolis’s greatest treasure, but Beirut’s decision to admit only Bluefire removes that attraction. With Adkins dead and the continent peaceful, Tarosse decides that the plane has become boring and chooses the Infernal Realm instead. Dylin, Cesar, and the War God elect to travel with him, and three days later Tarosse leads the group from Dragonblood Castle toward the Arctic Icecap. He thus ends the arc no longer as a bound guardian or a resident defender, but as the organizer of a voluntary departure into a Higher Plane. (Chapters 448–449).

Appearance and personality

Tarosse’s human form is a devilish-looking youth with green hair, usually dressed in a long green robe. His true form is the colossal green Ba-Serpent, large enough to stretch for roughly ten thousand meters when he attacks Ojwin at Dragonblood Castle. The contrast between an approachable youthful body and an immense divine-beast form mirrors the gap between his joking manner and his lethal power. (Chapters 365, 412, 421).

He is playful, proud, and openly fond of excitement. Tarosse teases Linley, Dylin, and Barker, refuses to follow an enemy’s command merely for convenience, and later leaves the Yulan Plane because its great conflicts and mysteries no longer interest him. His bravado is tempered by clear judgment: he acknowledges that Ojwin’s two clones could make a solitary fight uncertain, obeys Beirut without argument, and recognizes both Barnas’s superior force and the hidden strength of Beirut’s sons. (Chapters 365–366, 413, 426, 448–449).

Abilities and cultivation

Tarosse is a full God and a divine beast whose speed, Godrealm, and physical scale place him far beyond ordinary Saints. He can prevent nearby opponents from moving within his Godrealm, open the interdimensional gateway between the Necropolis and the Yulan continent, and contend directly with powerful God-level enemies. His encounter with Ojwin also shows a limitation: Ojwin’s separate fire and light divine clones let him hold Tarosse and Dylin to a temporary standstill, and Tarosse later concedes that fighting both alone might have produced only a draw. (Chapters 365–366, 412–413).

His water-elemental combat centers on a long green whip and control of the surrounding elemental essence. The whip can extend from a few meters to several dozen, coil around and disperse an incoming light attack, and carry a frigid aura. Tarosse also fills several square kilometers with regenerating blue ice crystals, channels energy between them, and focuses their intersecting power against a target. The source demonstrates these effects but does not name the crystal formation or explain how Tarosse learned it. (Chapter 413).

As a Ba-Serpent, Tarosse possesses the innate divine-beast ability Devour. He enlarges into his true form, isolates the target from surrounding space, and swallows it into an immaterial stomach dimension rather than an ordinary organ that can be cut open. This destroys Ojwin’s fire divine clone and yields its divine spark, but it does not affect the separate light clone outside the attack. The ability’s demonstrated success is therefore decisive against one captured body, not evidence that Tarosse can simultaneously consume every clone an enemy possesses. (Chapter 421).

Relationships

• Beirut: Tarosse served as manager of the Necropolis’s lower eleven floors under rules he could not openly violate. He treats Beirut with immediate obedience, while Beirut remembers that service and gives Tarosse a free choice about remaining in the Yulan Plane. (Chapters 365–366, 448).
• Dylin: Tarosse calls Dylin an old friend and is delighted by his escape from the Gebados Planar Prison. They later defend Linley’s circle together, remain in the Yulan continent for similar reasons, and jointly decide to continue to the Infernal Realm. (Chapters 365, 412–413, 448–449).
• Linley Baruch: Tarosse first praises Linley for reaching the Necropolis’s eleventh floor, then helps protect him and his household from Ojwin. Linley later conveys Beirut’s message and hosts the discussion in which Tarosse chooses to leave the plane. (Chapters 365, 412–416, 448–449).
• Olivier Akerlund: Tarosse admits that Olivier has no personal relationship with him, yet blocks Ojwin’s killing strike because he refuses to be ordered aside. His decision saves Olivier and makes Dragonblood Castle too dangerous for Ojwin to attack openly. (Chapters 413, 416, 421).
• Ojwin: Tarosse first drives Ojwin away and twice refrains from using his full power. After Ojwin infiltrates Dragonblood Castle, Tarosse destroys his fire divine clone with Devour, ending that clone’s cultivation and forcing the surviving light clone to retreat. (Chapters 412–413, 421).

Items

Tarosse wields a long green whip that resembles a green snake and naturally radiates a freezing aura. It expands during combat, disperses Ojwin’s light attack, and works alongside Tarosse’s water-elemental control, but the source gives it no distinct name or custody history. It is therefore recorded as a source-described personal weapon rather than promoted to a separate named catalog item. (Chapter 413).
