Drasion
Drasion is the 11th Great Demon and the fallen form of Archangel Sariel. Long before the main raid, Sword Saint Muller defeated Drasion and the demon's White Fang passed to a later swordsman. Drasion eventually returns at the head of a cursed army and brings several nations into a single campaign. During the defeat, white wings and lost memories reveal that Sariel was cast from Heaven for condemning the gods' sins. Sariel survives and is subsequently appointed one of Grid's divine messengers. (Chapters 241, 1344, 1348–1353, 1355–1357, and 1361)
Biography
Recurring role and later consequences
Drasion's history first appears through White Fang, a sword obtained from the great demon after Sword Saint Muller defeated him. That old defeat establishes both the demon's rank and a previous cycle of destruction without explaining his origin. When the 11th Great Demon emerges again, the threat is continental: armies and powerful individuals converge, and the campaign against Drasion becomes the next great-demon raid after Botis. The scale of mobilization contrasts with the first intimate glimpse of the awakened demon, who opens his eyes beneath golden clouds and wipes away tears he does not yet explain. (Chapters 241, 1344, 1348, and 1361)
The battle initially gives humanity every reason to see only a demon. Drasion rises, spreads black wings, and releases feathers that blanket the battlefield with destruction while curses turn soldiers into hazards for their own allies. The bird monsters under his command close the distance and shatter morale by slaughtering knights. His servants turn the raid into a war of attrition rather than a simple duel with one boss. Drasion's tears remain an unexplained fracture in that monstrous role. (Chapters 1349–1353)
As the attackers survive the curses and damage Drasion, the conflict enters a final phase. Doom can be interrupted and followed by a period in which the curse is no longer continuously maintained, while divine purification restores affected soldiers and changes the battlefield's balance. Drasion is wounded, yet an apparent celestial intervention complicates the raid: white feathers appear among the black, angels descend, and the entire heavenly order seems invested in controlling what happens to him. The sight of white wings agitates memories that the great demon identity had buried. (Chapters 1355–1356)
Amoract supplies the missing history. Drasion was Sariel, one of the noblest angels, charged with guarding human souls from sin. Sariel turned that vigilance toward the gods, condemned them for the seven sins, and was expelled from Heaven after the rebellion of the Seven Malignant Saints made such scrutiny politically dangerous. In Hell, the fallen angel lost those memories and lived as the demon whose acts now horrify her. When Sariel's transparent skin, golden hair, and white wings emerge through Drasion's dying body, the accompanying panorama exposes both the old service and the divine punishment to the humans present. (Chapter 1357)
Sariel does not use the revelation to deny Drasion's crimes. She identifies herself, acknowledges failing to expose the gods or aid the seven people who opposed them, remembers hurting humans as a demon, and asks humanity to punish her. Grid instead blocks the angels trying to erase the witnesses, allowing the truth to survive. By the next documented scene, the Drasion raid and the confrontation with Heaven have become the foundation of a new religious order, and Sariel has already been selected as one of Grid's messengers. The recurring threat consequently becomes a living witness against Heaven and a servant within the human-centered divinity that protected her testimony. (Chapters 1357 and 1361)
Appearance and personality
As Drasion, Sariel occupies an enormous, rough-skinned demonic body with black wings, large enough to dominate the battlefield from the sky. The awakening scene unexpectedly shows this form crying. During the revelation, the demon's exterior cracks to expose transparent skin, golden hair, large golden eyes, and white wings—the recognizable features of Archangel Sariel beneath the identity imposed in Hell. (Chapters 1348, 1350, and 1357)
Drasion's battlefield conduct is destructive and commanding, but the corpus ultimately frames that personality as inseparable from lost memory and forced transformation. Sariel had been noble enough to monitor the gods on humanity's behalf and, after remembering, responds not with self-exoneration but grief, confession, and a request for punishment. The unexplained tears at awakening foreshadow a conscience that survives beneath the great demon. Her latest documented role suggests acceptance of responsibility and service, though it does not erase the victims of Drasion's army. (Chapters 1348, 1353, 1357, and 1361)
Abilities, classes, and skills
Drasion possesses the status and power of the 11th Great Demon. He can fly, command a vast army of bird monsters, spread destructive black feathers across an entire battlefield, and impose curses that corrupt soldiers and multiply the danger within enemy formations. Doom is a central large-scale curse, while the summoned army extends his reach and shields the distant aerial body. His past defeat by Muller and the need for a multinational raid indicate exceptional power across separate incarnations or appearances. (Chapters 241, 1344, 1349–1353, and 1355)
These powers have interactions and limits rather than being absolute. Purification can free cursed soldiers, Doom can be stopped and enters a recovery period, and concentrated attacks force Drasion into a wounded final phase. Celestial intervention awakens Sariel's angelic traits, but the angels' Trinity and annihilating light are not feats that should be attributed to Drasion alone. The decisive progression is an identity restoration: black-winged demon gives way to the white-winged archangel whose original function was governing and protecting human souls. By chapter 1361 Sariel is alive and chosen as a messenger, although that chapter does not demonstrate a complete post-transformation combat repertoire. (Chapters 1355–1357 and 1361)
Relationships
Grid leads the human resistance at the moment Drasion's true identity is exposed. He prevents the descending angels from silencing Sariel and the witnesses, choosing to preserve her testimony rather than treating the defeated demon as disposable. Sariel's later appointment as his messenger converts that rescue into an ongoing religious and political bond. (Chapters 1357 and 1361)
Amoract knows Drasion's origin and wants humanity to witness it because the revelation will damage Heaven's prestige. Her explanation identifies Sariel's old duty, condemnation of the gods, expulsion, and memory loss. Although Amoract's motive is strategic, the information allows Sariel's confession to be understood rather than dismissed as a demon's last claim. (Chapter 1357)
Braham supports Grid's forces during the final battle and confronts the heavenly intervention that follows Drasion's defeat. His involvement belongs to the coalition around the raid rather than to a personal bond with Drasion, but it helps create the conditions under which Sariel's identity can be revealed publicly. (Chapters 1355–1357)
Damian contributes holy power that counters the demonic battlefield effects. His intervention demonstrates that Drasion's curses can be disrupted by appropriate divine force and helps move the battle toward the phase in which Sariel emerges. (Chapter 1355)
Items
- White Fang: A sword associated with Drasion's earlier defeat by Sword Saint Muller. It later passes to another swordsman, making it evidence of the great demon's prior appearance rather than an item in Sariel's current custody. (Chapter 241)
