Ludociel「リュドシエル」 is the leader of the Four Archangels of the Goddess Clan.[2] He is also the leader of Stigma.[3]

Appearance

Ludociel full appearance
Ludociel's full appearance

Ludociel is a tall, muscular man with long blue hair and four angelic wings protruding from his back. He wears full-plated golden armor with a set of robes adorned on his body.

Personality

Ludociel seems to be polite, kind, and welcoming shown when the humans enter Stigma's safe haven, he rejoices how the Great War was soon to come to an end. Also, despite his immense power and status among the Goddesses, Ludociel does not discriminate inferior Goddesses, at least his family, as shown by the fact that he never laughed at his younger brother for being a coward and unable to harm a single insect and instead had a good relationship with him. However, his kindness seems to end where the Demon Clan is concerned, wanting to ruthlessly destroy them in the name of bringing peace to the other races.

According to Nerobasta, Ludociel lost his family and friends in pursuit of Stigma's goal, and thus cannot afford to fail. He is a man willing to give up everything in order to achieve a single objective, and Gowther compares him to Meliodas in that regard.

Surprisingly, despite Elizabeth's betrayal of the Goddess Clan, Ludociel apparently has no grudge towards her, as he acts cordially towards her. However, Ludociel possesses some humor, as he called on Elizabeth not wanting to face Meliodas due to Meliodas now being evil.

History

Memories of the Holy War arc

Ludociel is first seen welcoming the humans when they arrived at Stigma's base which is located in the Fairy King's Forest.[4] He was aided by the Divine Lance Corporal Nerobasta, and she seems to have acted as his assistant in his schemes. There, he declares his intentions to end the Holy War by exterminating the entire Demon Clan. Elizabeth is reluctant towards his ideas, saying that he himself said that there should be peace among all the clans. Ludociel replies that the demons are nothing but disgusting beings who can not be compared to them, telling Elizabeth that she must sever her ties with Meliodas, who is the heir of the Demon King. When Elizabeth leaves, Ludociel tells Nerobasta not to go after her since he can not do anything to prevent the plan that has already started.

When the Ten Commandments appear in the forest, Ludociel reveals that he had been the one who kidnapped hundreds of demons including innocent civilians and had locked them inside a gigantic Ark to use them as bait to attract the Commandments and eliminate them. After revealing them, Ludociel then proceeds to eliminate them all.

When Sariel and Tarmiel fail to eliminate the Commandments, Ludociel decides to join the battle, ordering Nerobasta to protect the gate. There, he manages to incapacitate the demons without problems, forcing two of them to assume their Indura transformation, managing to stand up to the Archangel. When Elizabeth intervenes, Ludociel tries to convince her to help him defeat them, but she declares that she will save them. Ludociel insists that they must be eliminated to obtain peace and tries to convince Sariel and Tarmiel to support him, but the other two Archangels end up helping Elizabeth to finally free the Commandments from their transformations.

Sometime later upon the conclusion of the Holy War, Ludociel lost his physical body like the rest of the Goddess Clan and was sealed away in a modified Druid Altar within a chasm near the sight of where Danafor was built upon. He laid dormant there for more than 3,000 years.

Plot

Prelude to the New Holy War arc

Margaret vessel

Ludociel inside Margaret's body

When Ludociel feels the presence of someone with an appropriate soul to be his vessel, he calls her to the altar on which he was sealed. There, Ludociel makes a deal with the young princess of Liones, she would grant him her body to be his vessel in exchange for saving Gilthunder. After this, Ludociel takes the body of Margaret and offers Hendrickson and Dreyfus in becoming members of his new Stigma and eradicating the Demon Clan.

In order to fulfill the deal with Margaret, Ludociel transports himself to the Druid Altar where Gilthunder was held captive by Vivian. Once there, Ludociel pierce Vivian's throat with his rapier, affirming that his promise to eliminate the sorceress and to free Gilthunder was fulfilled, being able from that point to take the complete control of Margaret's body. Feeling the presence of a member of the Demon Clan near the altar, Ludociel releases a powerful attack against Zeldris who was in the middle of a negotiation with Merlin, claiming that it was a welcome greeting. Ludociel mentions how satisfied he is in Margaret's body, while Gilthunder asks why he chose her and demands that he release her, but Ludociel states that Margaret sacrificed herself to save him. When Zeldris emerges once again furious at the return of the Archangels, he launches his Dies Irae against Ludociel.

Elizabeth making official the alliance with Stigma

Ludociel and Elizabeth form an alliance

Later, Ludociel reunites with his fellow Archangels, Sariel and Tarmiel, who had also been revived in the bodies of Solaseed and Arbus. The three return to Liones with Dreyfus, Hendrickson and Gilthunder at the same time as Elizabeth and the Seven Deadly Sins. There, Elizabeth recognize Ludociel in Margaret's body, just as Ludociel recognizes her as the Elizabeth he knew 3,000 years ago. King Bartra asks Ludociel to release Margaret, but Ludociel told him that his daughter voluntarily surrendered her body. After presenting themselves as the Four Archangels of the Goddess Clan, Ludociel requests to form an alliance between them and the Knights of Liones as well as the Seven Deadly Sins in order to fight against the Demon Clan. Ludociel also mentions that Meliodas betrayed them, causing Elizabeth's anger. Ludociel affirms that Meliodas is an enemy that is plotting a dark plan with his brothers and his masters and that Stigma and the Sins must unite in order to eradicate them, telling Elizabeth that if she does the Supreme Deity could break the curse that she put on her. Elizabeth affirms that she intends to rescue Meliodas, not kill him, but that it is not possible to do it only with her power or that of her current companions. Finally, the alliance is officially formed.

Ludociel using Breath of Bless

Ludociel uses Breath of Bless

During the banquet that night, Ludociel gives a speech in front of all the knights affirming that Britannia will never be taken by the demons and that the Four Archangels will lead Stigma to victory. In that, Hendrickson asks him about the whereabouts of the fourth member of the Four Archangels, causing great anger in Ludociel, as well as in Tarmiel and Sariel. There, they are interrupted by the Pleiades of the Azure Sky, who show their doubts towards Stigma because of the death of their leader, Denzel Liones, because of the goddess who possessed him. Deathpierce claims that the Goddess Clan does not have blood or tears, but Ludociel states that they are not unlike humans in that. In order to gain his loyalty, Ludociel uses his Breath of Bless to give the Pleiades some of his power. Afterwards, he reveals to Hendrickson that the fourth Archangel, Mael, was killed by a member of the Ten Commandments.

Ludociel attacking Escanor

Ludociel attacks Escanor

After drinking all night, Ludociel leaves and is in the streets of Liones with Escanor and Hawk returning from doing errands. The Archangel shows an interest in Escanor, who moves to a roof stating that he prefers to be seen from below. Ludociel recognizes him as the individual he saw the night before and asks him how he concealed the great magical power he possessed at that moment, which leads Escanor to reveal the nature of his Sunshine power. Before this, Ludociel attacks furiously to Escanor questioning who took that power, which Escanor misunderstood. After avoiding his attacks, Escanor tries to catch him, but Ludociel moves at such a high speed that he avoids it and also cuts his clothes with his sword. There, Ludociel reveals the nature of the Graces that the Supreme Deity gave to the Four Archangels and that the Grace of the late fourth Archangel, Mael, was precisely Sunshine, which was lost after the death of Mael. Ludociel requires Escanor to get rid of the Grace since the body of a human would end up destroying itself upon receiving it, but Escanor refuses, claiming that Sunshine is the power he has from his birth that consecrates him as the strongest. In the end, Ludociel and Escanor reach a mutual understanding, claiming the Archangel to be useful and Escanor warning him not to get in his way.

New Holy War arc

Ludociel attends to the meeting to decide the battle strategy for the Holy War, there he states that Sariel and Tarmiel will command the "Search-and-Destroy Force" as representatives of the Four Archangels. Ludociel respectively recalls that Elizabeth is not part of the "Assault Force" with him to avoid confronting Meliodas, but Sariel and Tarmiel defend her by stating that they need Elizabeth on the battlefield. Ludociel requests that Hendrickson accompany them as his bodyguard, telling a reluctant Dreyfus that this is Hendrickson's wish. Gilthunder requests to go also in order to protect Margaret, to which Ludociel agrees affirming that they are allies.

During the march towards the battle, Ludociel tells Hendrickson that he can go to fight with Dreyfus if he wants, but Hendrickson says he has no regrets in the way he chose. Before leaving to Camelot, Ludociel promises the entire army victory in the war.

Ludociel using Sanctuary

Ludociel protects the Assault Force

When arriving at Camelot, the Assault Force discovers the castle of Camelot covered by an enormous field of darkness, product of Meliodas. Merlin asks him for some idea to enter, Ludociel engages in a telepathic conversation with her, revealing that he is aware that Merlin planned the conformation of the group knowing that it would require his power to penetrate the field of darkness. Ludociel warns him to stay attached to the Commandment she possesses and to make sure it does not fall into enemy hands.

Ludociel comments that Escanor's force will undoubtedly be indispensable in the battle with the demons, also that Hendrickson and Gilthunder will be useful for their devotion to protect Margaret, despite their lack of strength. Ludociel reveals that he is interested in Hendrickson given his judgment and control in comparison to those affected with Breath of Bless, awarding him that he can use him as a shield or even a substitute to be his vessel.

Ludociel assaults Chandler and Cusack with his Grace

Ludociel assaults Chandler and Cusack with his Grace

Ludociel invokes his Sanctuary, creating an Ark barrier around him, Merlin, Escanor, Hendrickson and Gilthunder, being able to cross the field of darkness thanks to Merlin's Commandment that wants to enter and join the others. Ludociel declares that once inside they cannot leave until they kill the creator of the dark field, Meliodas. However, Merlin declares that there is another way: to return Melidoas to normality. Upon entering where the cocoon of Melidoas is found, the five are received by Zeldris, Cusack and Chandler. Ludociel personally confronts Zeldris, saying that it is the first time they come face to face, to what Zeldris says will be the last.

When the battle begins, Ludociel watches as Escanor attacks Meliodas' cocoon, and while the demons are distracted by Merlin's Double Impact, Ludociel assaults Cusack and Chandler with his Grace. Ludociel happens to confront Zeldris, noting that his sword speed is the fastest in all of the Demon Realm. After a swift exchange of swords, Ludociel receives a cut on his cheek, while Zeldris receives the same injury plus a large cut on the arm. Ludociel calls him rude for hurting a woman's face. He is later saved from Cusack's attack by Hendrickson, Ludociel calls him an idiot for trying to save him when he had already read his attack, but still appreciates his concern for him and heals the wound he received on his leg.

Ludociel using Gold Shining

Ludociel attacks Zeldris

Ludociel intercepts the advance of Zeldris with his Gold Shining. He is slightly surprised when Zeldris emerges unscathed, assuming it is the magic power of the Demon King.

When Zeldris assumes the position that releases his original magical power, Ludociel asks Hendrickson to step aside because he could no longer protect him from there. Ludociel claims that the victory in the Holy War will be for the Goddesses, but Zeldris tells him he has no interest in petty games like that.

Zeldris then proceeds to use his original power Ominous Nebula, creating an incredible force of attraction, which draws the Assault Force towards him. Zeldris claims that they must get out of their way, releasing an attack that leaves Ludociel, Escanor, Hendrickson and Gilthunder wounded against the wall. Zeldris creates another force of attraction, but Escanor and Ludociel manage to hold on to it, while Hendrickson and Gilthunder are kept away in safety by Merlin's teleportation.

Ludociel recieves a blow from Zeldris's power

Ludociel recieves a blow from Zeldris' power

Ludociel is carried away to attack Zeldris, sure to have deciphered Zeldris's sword technique. However, is only repelled and embedded against the wall as last time. After being attracted again, Ludociel clings to Escanor to sustain himself. Escanor gets upset asking him to keep distance, to which Ludociel says he did not intend to fall on his back, proceeding to an argument between the two.

Escanor helps Ludociel

Escanor helps Ludociel

Ludociel asks Merlin for the identity of Zeldris' power, leading Merlin to explain how the Ominous Nebula has three characteristics: the ability to draw things towards Zeldris as its center with an incredible power of attraction, including only living beings and that no physical attack manages to reach it, being them hit by an unknown attack instead. Merlin points out that none of the magical attacks that she and Ludociel used previously affected Zeldris, which must be due to the powers of the Demon King. Merlin declares that Zeldris has an attack from which it is impossible to defend himself and on top of that resistance to both physical and magical attacks, which will make the battle harder than they could have imagined.

Ludociel asks Escanor to help him, surprising him when he refuses. Ludociel shows himself insigned by claiming that a miserable human must obey him as the greatest being on earth, to which Escanor replies that he does not care. When Ludociel is finally caught in the power of Zeldris, Merlin asks Escanor to give him a hand, and he immediately catches Ludociel. He asks if he did not follow orders, to which Escanor tells him that Merlin's orders are another story. When Escanor asks him if he has any plans, Ludociel tells him that only if he obeys his orders.

Escanor and Ludociel gets wounded

Ludociel and Escanor gets wounded

Ludociel uses his Ruby Shine to blind Zeldris with a bright light while Escanor causes a huge explosion with his Cruel Sun to camouflage their presences. Convinced that Zeldris will not be able to counterattack without being able to anticipate them in the same way that Full Counter, Ludociel and Escanor launch themselves on him, but to his surprise both are rejected in the same way once again.

Ludociel does not fully understand why his attack does not work when he is once again absorbed into Zeldris' vacuum, who declares that it is time to stop wasting time and get serious, then increase the pressure and speed of his power. Then, when Escanor releases his Crazy Prominence, Ludociel reproaches him that his attacks also reach him.

Ludociel returns to throw against Zeldris creating a great Ark sword in its arm. He remembers how he sacrificed everything, his love and friendship, in order to fulfill his duty to win the Holy War. However, Zeldris rejects him once more, being Gilthunder who saves him by receiving the attack himself, but being both crushed against a wall.

Ludociel fighting Cusack

Ludociel fights Cusack

However, when Zeldris is finally seriously injured by Escanor as The One, Ludociel manages to take advantage of the seconds Zeldris would have take to recover, to obliterate it again with his Gold Shining, this time, managing to wound him. Ludociel claims that his doom was blinking at him.

When Ludociel was about to finish Zeldris off, Cusack intervenes by stopping the Archangel with his swords. When Cusack asks Zekdris to let him take care of him, he agrees as long as he does not allow anyone to disturb Meliodas. 

Cusack is skewered in his fight with Ludociel, exchanging powerful and rapid blows between his swords and Ludociel's Ark blade. In the end, Cusack manages to destroy Ludociel's clothes, receiving a fulfillment of this, boasting Cusack of having been the one who taught Zeldris how to use a sword. Ludociel manages to strike him in the abdomen surprisingly warning him not to get cocky, but Cusack manages to resist without injury and responds with a headbutt. Seeing that Ludociel's power diminishes, Cusack deduces that this is the limit of the human vessel.

When pushed back with several wounds, Ludociel asks Merlin why nothing he does has any effect on the two demons, wondering if it is because of their magical powers. Merlin reveals that at some point in the past, Chandler and Cusack sealed their original magical powers for some reason, but even so they continued to be considered the most powerful demons after the Demon King just for being strong, fast and hard as anyone else.

Ludociel finish Zeldris off

Ludociel finishes off Zeldris

After healing his wounds, Ludociel observes with shock that Cusack and Chandler have been wounded, even slightly, by Merlin's attacks. When Merlin declares that she should create weaknesses in Cusack and Chandler, Ludociel tells her not to bluff with his teammates. However, when Merlin manages to wound the two demons using the elemental powers of her Double Impact in conjunction with the spell that decreases the resistance of the opponent and her Infinity, that makes the resistance of both will continue to decrease with each attack, Ludociel is surprised, thinking that he should never become enemy of Merlin.

Ludociel recovering his memories

Ludociel realizes that Estarossa was actually Mael

Ludociel asks what kind of bizarre magic that is, Merlin affirms that she does not understand it either, but that she multiplied "transparency", "undetectability", "automatic search" and "Infinity" in two types of magic attributes. Ludociel says that is just dirty. Hendrickson ask Ludociel to heal Gilthunder as he take the attack to save him. However, Ludociel states that Gilthunder don't did it to protect him and that he must save as much of his magic power as he can, leaving Hendrickson astonished.

When Zeldris manages to intercept Merlin's magic attacks thanks to his God, Ludociel sees an opportunity to attack him weakened, slashing him with his Ark blade. Having the three demons practically defeated, Ludociel claims that they have won and that he has put an end to the Holy War. Looking at the sky, Ludociel tells his brother Mael that he kept his word. However, thinking about Mael, Ludociel can not remember his face, seeing instead the face of Estarossa.

Ludociel being expelled from Margaret's body

Ludociel being expelled from Margaret's body

There, the spell that Gowther had used 3,000 years ago began to fall apart due to Meliodas and the Demon King discovered the truth. Ludociel, like all those who were under its influence, begin to suffer the effects of the spell that kept their memories altered. Thus, Ludociel realizes that "Estarossa" was actually Mael.

Ludociel begins to suffer a great impact and suffering because of the broken spell, refusing to accept the truth behind the disappearance of his brother. Being the closest to Mael, the impact of the spell affects Ludociel more than the rest, leaving him in a vulnerable state.

When the battle against the Original Demon takes place, Ludociel talks about Mael being alive and desesperately ask Hendrickson to take him with Mael, pointing that he is unable to flight or move by himself and that he can laught at him is he wants. Showing his pity for him, Hendrickson finds the opportunity to use Purge to expel Ludociel from Margaret's body since the Archangel was debilited enough.

Ludociel asking Hendrickson to survive

Ludociel ask Hendrickson to survive

Ludociel shows furious for his actions, but Hendrickson offers his body to be his new vessel.

When the Commandments appears to be absorbed by Meliodas' coocoon, Ludociel says that all is over. Hendrickson insist that Merlin is plotting something, Ludociel states that even if she is able to use the forbidden Chrono Coffin spell to stop time, she will be killed before completing the spell since Escanor no longer have enough power within him to face the Original Demon and King is unable to deal with Zeldris and the Original Demon at the same time despite his incredible power up that allows to manipulate Chastiefol from such a long distance. In top, Ludociel afiirms that if Meliodas revives as the Demon King, it will be impossible to match his power now that the Supreme Deity is gone.

Hendrickson recrimines him for being a coward, reminding him the stories about the Goddesses encouraged and guided humanity through the hardest and most dire times. Ludociel gives him reason, stating that in such times in which the humans blindly believes in the Goddess Clan, he lost his head in the situation becoming someone arrogant, conceinted and overconfident who only thinks in others as pawns to use, but states that everything he did was for archieve the victory in the Holy War, even if that means that people turns his back to him. Ludociel laments to have falling that down, upon finding someone like Hendrickson who also revered him as an ecstatic little child. 

Ludociel protects Merlin

Ludociel protects Merlin

As Hendrickson says that he still admiring and adoring him, Ludociel thinks that he is trying to fool him again, but Hendrickson insist that the Goddess Clan was the very dogma for the Druids, guiding them to victory above all else. However, Hendrickson admits that he is also dissapointed with the form in which he treat Gilthunder and Margaret and how he brokes upon discovering that Mael was alive, which infuriates Ludociel. As Hendrickson affirms that he is happy to know that he is not perfect and in fact is just like them, Hendirkcson rushes Ludociel to turn him in his vessel. Despite both says that are out of dudes, Ludociel instead uses Invigorate to heal all of Hendrickson's wounds. Ludociel calls him a naive, simple and gentle-heathed fool who always thinks in others instead of himself, comparing him with certain friend he have in the past who dies protecting the life of someone else. Hendrickson ask why he don't make him his vessel, and Ludociel says that he could not be able to use his powers properly with him as his vessel. As his final words, Ludociel tells Hendrickson to don't die.

As Escanor is defeated, the Original Demon prepares himself to end Merlin. However, before he could kill her, the Original Demon is stopped by Ludociel using Ark to hold onto his weapons. Ludociel claims that he can not resist too much without a vessel, but that he will endure as long he can for Merlin to finish her magic.

As Ludociel manages to contain all his attacks, Ludociel prepares to show the power of the leader of the Four Archangels and the Original Demon receives great damage from his Lighning Spree. The Original Demon responds with Hellblaze Omega, but Ludociel easily undoes his attack and hits him with Super King Drive. The Demon launches another Hellblaze Omega that this time gives more work to Ludociel to contain. Irritated with his smile, Ludociel deals several attacks with Ark and the Original Demon then launches a third Hellblaze Omega  that manages to push back Ludociel who accidentally knocks down Merlin.

Ludociel can not understand why the power of the Original Demon continues to increase when he should suffer more and more damage, but there he realizes that his body is not only damaged but is truly breaking down, leading this to reveal his power Climax that makes him stronger as his life runs out. He explains that by going against his punishment and returning to his original form, his flesh and bone is approaching its imminent destruction, so Ludociel says that is a constest of stamina in which he will break down or they will die first. In launching himself against Ludociel, the Original Demon notices the darkness that had been invoked over Camelot being eliminated by a great power of light. As the responsible is revealated to be Mael who arrives accompanied by the Seven Deadly Sins and Elizabeth, Ludociel is moved.

Abilities and Equipment

As the leader of the Four Archangels, Ludociel is extremely powerful. His mere presence is enough to startle King (while in Gloxinia's body) and Diane (while in Drole's body).[5] King states that he possesses an immense amount of magic power and that his power is on par or even greater than the Ten Commandments.[6] Possessing superior intelligence, magic power, and charisma, Ludociel reigns supreme amongst the Four Archangels.[7] His younger brother and the strongest of the Four Archangels, Mael, states that he possesses the same level of power as Meliodas.[8]

Like all members of Goddess Clan, he has a pair of wings that grants him the ability of flight. He has shown the ability to summon his wings at will.[9]

While using Margaret's body, Ludociel is still extremely powerful. He easily pierces Vivian's neck without being noticed,[10] fires a massive Ark beam at Zeldris through the tip of the rapier he wields,[11] and later brushes off Zeldris' Dies Irae attack as if it were mere "child's play".[12] In his original body, Ludociel's power is far greater than when he uses a vessel, as shown when he not only fights with the Original Demon on equal grounds, but overwhelms him on a few occasions.[13]

Ludociel possesses immense levels of durability and endurance, receiving only minor injuries and able to continue fighting after taking multiple hits from Derieri (who destroyed an entire forest with a single swing of her tail) in her Indura form.[14] He is also extremely skilled in swordsmanship, as shown when he pressures Escanor with his sword skills,[15] and fights evenly with Zeldris who is known to have the fastest sword speed in the Demon Realm.[16]

Abilities

Main article: Ark
  • Ark聖櫃アークSeiki (Āku); literally meaning "Holy Chest"」: An archetypal magic technique of the Goddess Clan that counteracts darkness by disintegrating it with light particles. The target is enveloped in a dazzling sphere of light that breaks apart their body.[17] 
  • Breath of Bless祝福の息吹ブレス・オブ・ブレスShukufuku no Ibuki (Buresu Obu Buresu)」: Ludociel gathers light in his palm to create a heart-shaped symbol and after blowing it over his desired target, they get a magic power boost. The Demon Clan refers to this technique as Cheat Hopeペテンの光チートホープPeten no Hikari (Chīto Hōpu); literally "Scam Light"」 [18] because it is also a brainwashing spell that turns the targets into fanatical zealots loyal to the Goddesses with no regard to their injuries so they may keep on fighting until they're broken and dead.

Grace

Main article: Flash

Ludociel has been bestowed a Grace by the Supreme Deity known as FlashせんこうSenkō」.[19] This power allows Ludociel to move at immense speeds which appears as a form of teleportation.[20] 

Power Level

While in a human vessel, Ludociel's power levels are as follows:

Total Magic Strength Spirit
201,000[21] ? ? ?



Relationships

Mael

Mael is Ludociel's younger brother. While Mael was looked down by others for being unable to harm an insect, Ludociel always encouraged his younger brother and never laughed at him. Ludociel hoped that Mael would surpass him, feeling proud when he became the strongest of the Four Archangels. Ludociel also promised to try to arrange things between him and Elizabeth. After Mael seemingly died, the mere mention of his brother caused him to look angry at Hendrickson. He seems to lament his brother's apparent death.

Nerobasta

Though never acting much differently with her than with another of his allies, seemingly being ignorant of Nerobasta's feelings, Ludociel is actually aware of her feelings.[22]

Elizabeth

Ludociel is aware that Elizabeth's curse is still active. Despite her betrayal, he still acts towards her as he used to 3,000 years ago. The two complained over Meliodas and his brothers but the two eventually came to a decision to form an alliance. Ludociel suggests to Elizabeth that her mother might lift her curse if she helped them defeat the demons.
