Kernid
Kernid, called the Dark Purple Warlock, is the first official Grade A Super of the Light Rune Civilization and one of its most important protectors. His disappearance reveals that an unknown group is abducting prominent Calamity Grades.
Biography
Mutation Disaster and the Secret War
Kernid is attacked during a holiday and fights desperately with rune armor and purple magic, but his assailants reflect his strongest attack and capture him. The Light Rune Civilization and his brother Kemas seek outside help, while Han learns that Kernid is one of many targets on the same hunting list as Jayne. Imprisoned beside Lagi, Kernid fails to escape and fears becoming a specimen. Han's intelligence later enables allied forces to free the captives, and Kernid returns gratefully to his organization. No later death or assignment is established. (Chapters 629, 632, 634, and 639–643)
Appearance and personality
Kernid's species and ordinary appearance are not described. He wears high-end rune armor and is first shown wounded, sweating, and desperate. He remains proud of his civilization's determination to recover him, but captivity and Lagi's relentless pessimism leave him frightened and exasperated.
Abilities and class
Kernid is a Calamity Grade Mage skilled in rune magic. He senses magical waves, fires arcing purple beams, gathers tightly controlled magical force, and launches attacks strong enough that an ordinary Grade A would avoid meeting them directly. His captors' ability to reflect that power defeats him; the source does not name his individual spells.
Relationships
- Han Xiao: Han supplies the information that leads to Kernid's rescue, earning strong gratitude and goodwill.
- Shana: Shana participates in the organization that captures Kernid, and he recognizes her in prison.
- Lagi: Lagi occupies the neighboring cell and overwhelms the other captives with pessimistic predictions. They are fellow prisoners rather than established allies before capture.
- Jayne: Both are high-profile Calamity Grades pursued by the same hunters; no direct meeting is shown.
Items
Kernid wears high-end rune armor that supports his magic, but it is torn and blood-covered after his attempted escape. Its name, creator, and post-rescue condition are unknown.
