Diego Delacruz

Diego Delacruz (ディエゴ デラクルース, Diego Derakurusu), nicknamed DD, is an unrivaled, world-renowned bounty and magic hunter, as well as S-Class independent wizard, said to be responsible for capturing more than 300 of Earth Land's most dangerous mages and filling up more than 87% of prisons with criminals. A gifted fighter and hunter, Diego has been dubbed by the public as the "X-Cross Hunter" (X -クロスハンター, X - kurosuhantā), primarily due to his enormous "X" tattoo printed on his chest. However, Diego himself is also a criminal, hunting not only fugitives, but any powerful wizards that catch his eye, regardless of whatever affiliation or allegiance they have toward others. As such, his bounty is well over 800,000,000, officially making him an S-Class criminal wanted in over 12 different countries for crimes of murder, torture, abduction, and much, much worse. It is unknown as to what reason he abducts these special individuals or what he does to them, the only thing for sure is that they are never seen again.

Aside from his reputation as an incredible hunter, Diego is known far and wide as a prestigious swordsman, marksman and weapon collector, killing other wizards and abducting them. As a pastime, Kaido hunts incredibly rare animals and dangerous, challenging himself to only pursue and capture the most dangerous and powerful, with a minimum difficulty ranking ranging from A-Class to SSS-Class. Taking it a bit far sometimes, Diego is directly responsible for hunting nearly 48 different species of magic beasts to extinction.

Pre-Timeskip
Diego is a lean and muscular man who wears what appears to be a combination of a white-plumed cocked hat with his family's insignia decorated with gold lining on the side of his hat, while also wearing a mask over his eyes. Underneath this headgear, Diego's hair is reddish brown, with brush-like sideburns. On his broad chin, he has an "X" scar placed right in the middle, and on his chest and upper body he also has another large "X", however, this one is a tattoo rather than scar. To this day, it is unknown as to what the enormous "X" on his chest symbolizes, many hinting that it might simply represent the Roman Numeral X for 10, not the English letter, an enemy that could have eluded him, or a personal message only known to Diego himself. Most of the time, Diego will change his mask in order to hold back his ocular powers, writing magic incantations on the back of these masks and replacing them on a daily basis as a result.

The rest of his attire mainly consists of him wearing armor on his relatively thin legs and arms, donning what mainly consists of knee-high boots and gloves that go up past his elbows, respectively. The openings to both the gloves and the boots are also secured by the armor, which is rounded for the gloves and a sharp maple leaf pattern for the boots at the front of his knees. On the rest of his body he wears leather pants and a leather shirt. A belt with a large ornately designed circular belt buckle secures Diego's pants as well as his sword and axe to his waist. He also wears a black cape, which, from the inside, is crimson-colored, with a white fur lining around the neck. When traveling to regions containing cold climates, he is seen wearing a scarf that is tied around his neck, protecting his neck when entering these frozen environments. Diego does change his attire sometimes, often exchanging his armor for a simple black leather jacket, decorated with white fur along the collar, with his chest laid bare, exposing his muscles.

Post-Timeskip
After having to disappear for a few years, Diego wandered all over Earth Land, picking up new hunting techniques and weapons, while at the same time picking up a new costume. After the 4 years on his journey, Diego no longer has his bicorne, exposing his now dark orange hair spiked into a fauxhawk. As time passed, Diego learned how to get a better sense of control over his ocular powers, only wearing a single black headband with an eye-hole that is slanted so it only goes over his left eye. Much of his facial features have not changed, still sporting an "X" scar on his lower chin, however the scar appears to have gotten a bit more wider during his time traveling, and his side burns are much longer in length, reaching the furthest ends of his chin. The color oh his eyes has become prominently more darker, as well as his skin color being more tanned before his timeskip.

Most of his original choice of attire has gone through a major change, where his costume was once a bright shade of blue is now jet-black, having discarded the old colors in order to make himself unrecognizable to the authorities. His cape his much longer that it was before, with Diego now using an intense shade of red in the undercoat, his clothes now contains less metallic piercings around his arms and legs. Most notably of all his changes are the size of his muscles, being several times much larger and well endowed than in the past, further increasing his stature and level of intimidation his presence has. Much like his old costume, his leather jacket has no closing, thus leaving his chest out in the open, exposing his muscular chest, on the sides, it is decorated with white fur extending all the way from the base of his jacket all the way to his collar.

Personality
Reading News.gif on his head. He has shown in the past that he is capable of showing tremendous levels of great bravery, demonstrated by his willingness to tackle head-on life threatening situations by himself, relying solely on his skill and tenacity to succeed. As a professional hunter and killer, Diego is not the kind of person to hold a grudge, a job is a job, he knows how to keep his own life completely separate from his profession. Diego likes to keep himself informed on all the major events occurring in Earth Land, as such, he is often seen reading a news paper or magazine informing him on potential future targets.

However, when the chips are down, and it's time to fight, requiring him to use deadly force in a situation that calls for violence, it become quite clear that Diego is an unimaginably ruthless, ferocious, bloodthirsty killer. His excitement for battle and the rush of feeling he feels completely transforms him into another person, he thoroughly enjoys a good fight, often times taking his time to immerse himself in the heat of battle in order to improve upon himself and his abilities, seeing every battle as an opportunity to become stronger. He prefers to work alone rather than be put in a group, have to put the his safety in the hands of others, Diego sees others as nothing but luggage that will only slow him down, increasing the odds of him failing, or worse, dying.

Equipment
Riposte Saber (反撃サーベル, Hangeki sāberu) and Axe Edge (斧エッジ, Ono ejji): Considered by Diego as his most precious weapons in his vast collection, these two are his most preferred weapons of choice when out hunting or battling other wizards. Traditionally, since Diego has more striking power focused in his right arm, he carries the Axe Edge on his right, and since his left arm is many times faster than his right, the Riposte Sables is carried on his left side, evenly balancing the roles between powerful lunges and swift slashes. With the level of force Diego can apply behind every swing and strike when using these weapons, Axe Edge can actas both a mace and hammer to crush enemies and obstackles to dust, while his Riposte Sable can move at sound-breaking speeds capable of cutting his targets into millions of pieces in a matter of seconds. Diego himself personally blacksmithed each of these weapons himself, using Celesta Steel, widely considered as one of Earth Land's strongest metals, as the building material, ensuring that his weapons become nearly invulnerable from breaking or being tampered with magic. He had the metal dyed grey in order to give his weapons the appearance of normal tools, giving himself the advantage of surprise.

The weapons themselves are rather unnatural and unorthodox in shape and appearance, not resembling anything common weapon that a normal swordsman or warrior would willingly choose to carry with them. Axe Edge, as the name suggests, is an axe, however, it possesses 4 axe blades instead of a single one, and the length of the handle is nearly half of Diego's size in body length, giving it an extraordinary reach. The thanks to the 4 blades acting as weapon's head, no matter in what direction he swings, he is sure to cut anything regardless of how he holds it, an added benefit of this odd shape is it's ability to work as a mace in order for Diego to smash and break whatever he strikes at to pieces, delivering severe blunt and impact damage as a result. Due to Diego possessing a greater level of strength in his right arm, he can destroy nearly anything he attacks with a single swing, harnessing his destructive power solely in Axe Edge. When using his axe, Diego moves in with the intention to completely and utterly overpower his opponent's defenses by swinging Axe Edge with an inhuman level of weight and pressure backing each swing, destroying any sense of opposition that presents itself in front of him.

Although not as powerful, Riposte Saber is many times lighter and more agile when moving, thus moving much faster than it's counterpart. Riposte Saber is literally a double edged sword, being sharp on both sides of the blade, it has a light blue handle and dome-like guard used to defend against other swords. The length of the blade is a few centimeters shorter than his other weapon, meaning that Diego has to move in a bit closer to attack his foe. Although lacking destructive power, Diego has more freedom to move with his saber, swinging and defending against more intricate attacks that require more finesse and accuracy rather than a sloppy, violent approach that his other weapon specializes in. Being composed of a lighter frame and possessing less mass in it's design, this saber can move at blinding speeds, creating afterimages and even appearing invisible to the naked eye. His precision is nearly otherworldly, able to throw lunges and thrusts that always meet their mark head on without so much as missing an inch. However, Diego's single greatest skill and ability he can use is when using his saber to enter a special form known as the Riposte Zone (反撃ゾーン, Hangeki zōn), a stance in which he readies himself and re-positions his stance and foot-work in order to retort and counter any incoming attacks with all the speed and force his right arm can muster, switching stances in less than a second in order to move in and strike in a flash when the parry is successfully executed.

Prowess
Unknown Physiology: As a result of his constant use of Malice Magic, and having spent most of his natural life hunting and killing other beasts and magical creatures, Diego has absorbed most of their natural powers and adopted their genetic abilities into his own body by consuming their bodies and incorporating their magic withing himself. With so many abilities stolen belonging to the various species he's hunted over the years, his body has gone through tremendous levels of changes and alterations to the point of rendering him barely human anymore, only in appearance, in reality, Diego is the total fusion of all the creatures he's killed. With Malice Magic, Diego has stolen countless skills that he uses to make himself a much difficult person to contend with, increasing his natural abilities by using the unique characteristics of the many creatures he's hunted, effectively making him an unimaginably difficult person to kill. His entire being is comprised of hundreds of bits and pieces belonging to the vast races that make up all of Earth Land, he's killed creatures ranging from innocent Exceeds to ravenous, bloodthirsty Monsters, meaning that Diego can use the Exceed's natural ability of Aera and a Monster's tremendous level of strength and durability whenever he wishes to do so. This means that Diego has countless abilities under his belt for him to use, as well as making him immune to most forms of attack and spells that could traditionally kill an ordinary human, something that Diego no longer is. Nightmarishly Immeasurable Strength: Diego is much stronger than he would have people believe, he may appear to be a regular looking human being, but his strength is said to rival those belonging to a monster. It's not known as to how he became so strong, or what the process was that imbued him with such strength, all that should concern anyone when fighting him should be to watch out when exchanging punches with him, much less clash swords. Diego can overpower most enemies he encounters just by simply applying a small percentage of his strength upon them, crushing them or simply sending them far away with a simple punch or kick, causing tremendous damage in the process. He can easily go toe-to-toe with even the biggest and strongest of fighters that exist outside his weight class, dwarfing him in size and stature. Most of the time, Diego only applies his tremendous strength when going out hunting in different regions in Earth Land, with how high it is, Diego can hunt SS-Class magical monsters and beasts rather easily without having to fear for his life and safety, subduing them with the utmost of ease. When applying his strength in fights however, he tends to hold back his true power in order to gauge just how strong his enemy is in terms of physical power, comparing it to his own and using what he deems to be the necessary amount to overpower his foe. Notable feats of his strength are found in his willingness on being a monster hunter, considered by most as one of the most dangerous professions in the world, Diego is powerful enough to hunt and kill monsters, a race revered and feared by how physically superior they are to humans, killing them with ease. Diego has been known to hunt and kill his prey without using any tools or weapons, ranging from Wyverns, Celestial Spirits, Etherious, Exceeds, etc, ripping them apart with his bare hands. Whatever Diego grabs with his hands, there is little to no way to break his iron grip on said object, his tremendous force and level strength of strength he applies makes it an impossibility to escape from his grasps or disarm him from his weapons such as swords, guns, axes, etc.
 * Demon: Having hunted and killed hundreds of demons through the course of his life, Diego was able to steal most of their abilities, particularly the skill to harness something that is known as the "Demon Factor," unique Ethernano known as Demon Particles that gives him additional powers such as flight, enhanced speed, strength, reflexes etc. Additional, he was bestowed the use of their signature magic art of Transformation Magic, allowing him to change his appearance whenever he so wishes to do so and into whoever he wants, often using it to elude the authorities or when out hunting targets for clients. Their added physiology gives him a greater sense of durability toward Dark-type magic spells such as Darkness Magic and Shadow Magic, showing some form of resistance to the damage they deal.
 * Etherious: Truly a rare species that Diego has had the delight to hunt down whenever he has the time, it was not until very recently that he discovered that this race existed, following them to their hideout located in the Tartaros Guild and consuming nearly a dozen or so before leaving. By stealing their powers through his Malice Magic, Diego was able to channel the Magical Barrier Particles in his body, allowing him to achieve incredibly destructive feats in magic as a result. He also inherited their vast fighting abilities and distinct physical traits that make them superior to humans, such as decelerated aging, immense durability to damage, regeneration, reflexes, etc, making into a vastly stronger hunter and killer of wizards. However, the single greatest power he received was the ability to trigger a transformation known as the Etherious Form (エーテリアス・フォーム, Ēteriasu Fōmu), a form that elevates the power and magic energy in his body beyond their utmost limits, unlocking a whole new set of skills he can use to destroy anything that stands in his way.
 * Exceed: Although not offering much of a challenge in terms of hunting difficulty, Diego only killed a single Exceed in the entirety of his entire life, not bothering himself to hunt down such weak prey. As a result, he did take some of it's power, such as the ability to use Aera, allowing Diego to create magic wings he uses to soar through the sky, interestingly enough, the wings he creates are black in color, giving him the appearance of a fallen angel in contrast to angelic wings that Exceed's are known for. He can also use several of their technique at a much greater level than Exceeds, such as using Max Speed (スピードアタック Makkusu Supīdo Atakku) to move at sound breaking speeds, and enhancing the physical impact of Max Speed Attack (ＭＡＸスピードアタック Makkusu Supīdo Atakku) to the point of being able to break through an entire castle, killing and destroying whatever person or object that stands in his way with ease.
 * Wyvern: With Diego having no luck in finding a Dragon in Earth Land, he had to resort to hunting the next thing closest to these legendary creatures, and that would be a Wyvern. Said to be exceedingly large, draconian beasts, Wyverns are the closest things to Dragons that exist in the world, existing in carrying shapes, colors, and sizes, Diego made it his mission to hunt down and kill several of the varying types that exist throughout the world, hoping to find a challenge in these beasts that could rival that of their distant relative. Unfortunately, it only ended in disappointment as the beasts offered little to no challenge. On the up side, having killed varying versions of the same magic beast, he absorbed it's various magic abilities and physical properties into his body, giving him several similar characteristics resembling that of Dragon Slayers, although weaker in comparison. Diego can grow out draconian scales with a durability so great, that are able to withstand, and even repel, spells that would otherwise be considered dangerous to others, applying ground breaking strength said to be somehow related to Dragons themselves, and even breathing fire. With Diego's level of skill, he can take his mastery of this beast to another level, transforming several aspects of his body into that of a Wyvern, summoning dragonic wings, creating scales and claws in order to boost his defense and offense, and even growing a long tail capable of slamming and grabbing objects.
 * Monster: Considered the crowning achievement of all the creatures he's hunted and killed

When fighting against Diego in hand-to-hand combat, he becomes an unstoppable force of nature, literally breaking and destroying anything and everything in his path through the use of raw, unrestrained physical power. Every punch he throws, he shatters entire castle walls, every kick, he levels the ground, the impact power his attacks can produce are unnatural, creating shock-waves that reverberate throughout the environment, shaking the air violently as a result. Blocking attacks coming from him is incredibly dangerous, the backing force, momentum, and inertia that each of his attacks can naturally generate have the potential to knock a hole straight through a castle without so much as bothering him, much less injuring his hand. It is for this very reason he was given the nickname "Castle Breaker" (城ブレーカー, Shiro burēkā), having once destroyed half of the Mercurius Castle in the capital of Fiore in the heat of rage with a simple kick and a few well placed punches. To block his attack would be the equivalent of taking at least 3/4 of the total amount of damage he can dish out, resulting in broken bones, limbs, punctured organs, and permanent damage to their bodies functionality and movement. That is why it is best to either dodge or simply evade every physical blow he is trying to land onto his opponent, avoiding the chance of him successfully landing a blow. His power go's even further by being capable of channeling hundreds upon thousands of pounds of force and heavy levels weight, and throwing it behind every attack and move he produces using his body, a tactic that is commonly used by heavy weight fighters, pushing all their mass toward a single attack, Diego can use this same move but at much higher levels. Diego's physical powers are not only limited to simple brute strength, he can apply his immeasurable strength in other fields of application such as speed, agility, maneuverability, reflexes, etc. Often times known to be the fastest hunter among wizards, he can vanish at blinding speeds that make him appear naked to the human eye. This is mainly due to the level of energy and strength needed to move, bending muscles and tendons that would be ripped apart if an ordinary human even tried.

As a swordsman, his physical prowess plays a large part when he uses his swords, backing such a tremendous amount of force with every swing he takes, destroying buildings, uprooting trees, and generating air currents so compressed in force, that he can produce sharpened winds able to cut through most common elements without so much as using magic to augment the cutting power. His only do swords receive a boost in their natural, Diego is unimaginably lethal when applying his immense strength with tools and weapons, transforming even the most simple of contraptions it objects of murder. When throwing knives, they will travel at imperceivable speed, not only piercing their target but also going straight through them and whatever's behind them. When using a lance, he can throw it at a distance of 5.4979 miles without missing his shot, skewering his target in one fell swoop. When utilizing hammer-like objects, he can crush and crack even the most durable of materials and weapons with a few swings, breaking the arms of those that dare defend against him. When using an axe, Diego can cut whatever he encounters with a single swing, often decapitating anything and slashing his way through any opposition he encounters. All in all, anything Diego can get his hands on he can use as a weapon, from rocks, leaves, and even his own teeth. With the ammount of force he can throw objects, he transform simple rocks into fast moving bullets, capable of tearing a person's body apart.

With the amount of pressure and force he can apply to any point on his body, every fiber of his being is weapon he can use to kill and murder, effectively transforming himself into the ultimate weapon to use against any opponent. Diego can rip through flesh and bone using his fingers alone, enhancing the energy inside each finger muscle to superhuman levels, this is not only limited to his fingers but to every muscle in his body, elevating their effectiveness and functionality by sending his magic energy into any region in his body he wishes to enhance, transforming even a single punch into a bulldozer capable of tearing entire buildings down. This is mainly due to having spent most of his life training his muscles as well as killing other powerful foes with Malice Magic, stealing their magic powers and strength for himself, including those belonging to other races. A notable example lies in Diego having killed a Monster, stealing all of it's abilities after death, resulting in his strength being bolstered in unimaginably monstrous ways, transforming his already tremendous strength into something horrifically frightening. Inside his small frame, lies the unrelenting power and force that rivals (if not surpass) that of an actual beast, a race that lives off eating humans for countless thousands of years, a race especially known for their absolute strength and reputation for overpowering other races in terms of raw power. So long as he keeps killing, constantly feeding the malice inside himself, Diego will continue to grow stronger, stealing the life force inside his slain foes in order to increase the power his body is able to muster and produce, while at the same time extending his life-spam for additional years.

Monstrous Healing Factor: As a result of having consumed the lives of an immeasurable amount of people and creatures through the course of 500 years, as well as incorporating the physical properties that monsters have, Diego is blessed with an unnatural level of healing that renders his body nearly impervious to most conventional means of damage and harm. His healing is unlike anything that exists in Earth Land, when receiving damage, his flesh escapes from the wound and takes on the appearance of sharp wines, rearranging his mass of flesh and cells in order to immediately repair whatever damage that has been done to the damaged area of his body, producing new cells to replace the dead ones. If need be, he can increase the effectiveness of his healing factor by consuming the flesh of foreign organic beings and organisms, a feeding his body with additional nutrients that increase his overall healing abilities. The amount and degree of damage he can heal from is rather vast, from surviving a head shot delivered by a gun, to having his head decapitated, there are very little methods of attack that can't keep him down for very long. The only sure way to kill him and negate his healing is one of two ways, either reduce him to ash or completely destroy his head, however both fests are incredibly difficult to achieve given Diego's level of skill and combat prowess.

The speed in which the healing acts is astounding, taking little over several seconds to activate and less time to begin the repairing any damages done to his, regenerating entire limbs in a fraction of a second that is normally required to activate his healing factor. The healing itself can even be used as a weapon, extending his flesh in the form of thorns that consume and absorb whatever flesh it makes contact with, adding additional mass and nutrients to his body in order to feed. It has been hypothesized by Diego that this particular form of healing came as a result of him having used Malice Magic for such a tremendous amount of time, longer than any user has been recorded to use, thus causing several changes to his after having absorbed so many abilities and creatures through the course of centuries.

Sixth Sense (第六感, Dairokkan):

Skills
Etherious Form: Having stolen the powers of an Etherious through the use of Malice Magic by killing over a dozen or so in the Tartaros Guild, Diego's body was able to steal their natural abilities and physiological powers, enabling him to harness the power of Magical Barrier Particles in order to cause his body to undergo a tremendous transformation, altering his physical features and pushing his power level beyond their maximum threshold, thus unlocking a whole new set of powers to use at his disposal. The Etherious Form, in nature, is a special skill that only the Etherious can use exclusively, it is, in a sense, the power to completely unleash all of their demonic powers in order to unlock their full potential. Diego on the other hand does it differently, having killed and consumed many Etherious, he can change his body and composition in order to identically resemble and match them in terms of power and ability, thus allowing him to attain this form. When harnessing the Etherious Form, Diego's magic energy is elevated substantially, forcing his body to evolve into a form better suited to compensate for the lack of durability needed to handle such an immense increase in magic, thus giving him a much stronger body.

When the Etherious Form is activated, his power is pushed to its utmost limit, causing magic to escape from his body in the form of a malignant demonic aura that surrounds his entire environment. In this form, Diego's appearances changes drastically, donning a completely new uniform consisting of a dark leather jacket surrounded with white fur, demon-like gauntlets with sharp tips, his skin becoming pale, growing a long black tail, and his mask growing into a type of helmet. While in this form, all of his pre-existing magic spells are enhanced, as well as his natural abilities such as speed, strength, durability, etc, it gives him the power to become far stronger than any standard S-Class Magician or even in the case of stronger Etherious, gain such amazing power that they would be capable of toppling a Guild Ace. However, while in this form, Diego becomes a completely different person, both physically and mentally, he becomes much more aggressive prone to commit violence, turning his once careful, dead serious nature into a that of a playful, overconfident individual that believes he can't be beat.

While using this form, Diego only limits himself to using Guns Magic and other forms of long range combat techniques and spells, finding a tremendous amount of joy in attacking from the comfort of a safe location far away from the battlefield.
 * Garras de Oscuridad (闇のクラッチ, Yami no kuratchi, lit. Spanish for "Claws of Darkness"): Diego channels his immense demonic magic aura into the tip of his fingers and rushes toward his opponent. These claws are coated in Ethernano so compressed, that they'll burn and melt their way through nearly anything they touch, corroding anything due to the lethal levels of magic being focused at the very tip of his fingers. Diego primarily uses this technique when fighting at close quarter combat, slashing and gauging anything he can get his hands on in an instance, regardless of what or who it is. Additionally, once something is profusely cut or stabbed by his Garras de Orcuridad, it becomes infected with Magical Barrier Particles, slowly breaking down and being destroyed from the inside. Depending on the amount of magic energy the infected target possesses, they can resist and even expunge these particles from their body without suffering any negative side-effects. Should these claws attack or interact with other spells or magic attacks, Diego can easily claw his way right through, having his claws eat away at the attack's Ethernano located deep inside, thus reducing it to nothing. Should he desire it, Diego can extend the energy focused in his fingers in order to throw at his opponent, acting as a long range attack that creates 10 slashes, all tracking his target's movements and choice of location, not stopping until having skewered their target alive.
 * Puño del Diablo Infernal (拳地獄の悪魔, Ken jigoku no akuma, lit. Spanish for "Fist of the Infernal Devil"): A fire-based magic attack, said to channel the strongest flames in the demon world, Diego elevates his magic energy and channels it into his right hand, forming a fist completely composed of fire. When fired, the flame released takes on the form of a demon, circling and destroying anything it's aimed at, reducing it to ash. The temperature of the heat generated by this attack is well over 25,000 degrees, enough to melt through solid steel beams, turn evaporating entire bodies water into steam, and burning the very air and wind as it travels through the sky. Since it contains a rather large quantity of Diego's magic energy, he can focus the intensity of the flame into a single point of impact in order to double the amount of force it can produce when making contact, primarily used to destroy magic barriers, water and ice spells, and dispelling Darkness Magic by burning away it's very essence with an enormous wave of magic-enhanced demon flames. Should Diego wish to use it other than a simple projectile, he can keep the flame encased inside the palm of his hand and keep it clenched inside his fist, using it to boost his punching to incredible levels, causing anything he attacks to explode and burst into flames, burning to ash in minutes.
 * Compresor de Magia Destructora (圧縮破壊的な魔法, Asshuku hakai-tekina mahō, lit. Spanish for "Magic Compressor of Destruction"): An advanced technique that Diego only uses when he's in a pinch, he stretches out his hand and grabs the closest magic being around him, using his massive power to break down their body into pure magic energy and absorbing it through his body, thus revitalizing his body, healing any injuries, recharging his stamina, and recovering any lost magic energy. All fatigue and negative ailments are also removed, However, this technique can only be used once per battle, not because there's a limitation on the amount of times he can use it, but the simple fact that once this technique is revealed, it loses it's element of surprise, rendering the move next to useless as Diego's enemy will most likely keep his guard up in order to avoid it. This move only on opponents who are weaker than him, as the weaker foes offer very little resistance to the influence this move has, it allowing him to convert them into magic for him to feed on.

Requip: Corona Blast Buster (レキップ：コロナブラストバスター, Rekippu: Koronaburasutobasutā): Considered a weapon of last resort, Diego summons an enormous gun from his pocket dimension and mounts it onto his arm. Measuring more than 3x's the length of his arm, the gun is possesses two red scopes located on the mount of the gun, with colors consisting of black and silver making up the body. It's most unusual feature however is the mouth-like opening located at the end of the barrel, only opening when firing magic blasts. The Corona Buster is a magic weapon of terrible effect, using Diego's unique Etherious magic energy as ammunition to fire directly at whatever he wishes to see be destroyed. Due to the amount of energy that is needed to fire each shot and the immense strain that it puts his body through, he rarely finds himself having to resort to using such a weapon against his foe.

Ways of Combat
CQC Grandmaster:

Maximum Zenith Sword Master
Maximum Zenith Sword Master: Diego has achieved the the highest possible level of combat proficiency and absolute mastery in the art of the sword, Diego is capable of performing superhuman/supernatural feats beyond that surpass natural boundaries of all other creatures in Earth Land. His mastery of this ability has blessed him with a state of mental, physical, and spiritual balance, able to harmonize all three to transform himself into an unstoppable force of nature, capable of defeating enemies with only using his sharpened magic aura.

Diego's obtainment of absolute mastery in martial arts and sword related combat is nothing surprising, he possesses a thorough understanding of the human body, sword stances and forms allows him to know just which area on the body is most susceptible to a specific type of cut or stab and how to circumvent a specific sword style's defensive stances without even trying, capable of killing an enemy with a simple well-placed slash. This in turn means that no other being in Earth Land is more dangerous than him when it comes to using a sword, possessing full mastery of his fighting powers, potentially becoming one of the most powerful beings to walk the face of the earth. Anyone who has gone up against the Diego describe that his movements resemble that of a Rakshasa demon, absolutely savage and unrelenting in his charge and crusade toward absolute mastery in the ways of the sword. He can study an enemies distinct style or sword technique and dissect it's every movement, application of force, footwork, use of magic, breathing, hand movement, etc, scanning all the information and creating a an attack that natural acts as a counter in order to negate the attack and strike the enemy directly.

With this type of skill under in his belt, he is easily one of the most dangerous beings alive, easily able to fight against seemingly, overwhelming, impossible odds with the utmost ease. An unimaginably capable warrior on the battlefield, he can decimate the enemy single-handedly and with near supernatural finesse that horrifically surpasses the skill of even the greatest of experienced fighters. Diego is as deadly at long-range combat as he is at close-quarter combat, able to swing his sword with a combination of his magic aura, cutting power of his sword, and incredible strength in order to generate a slash of sharpened-condensed air able to cut anything cleanly in half. When it comes down to it, Diego will always rely on his sword skills and prowess above all other abilities at his disposal, as it is his favorite form of combat and one he excels at greatly. At his level of proficiency, no level of spell or enemy skill could ever part him his sword or disarm him. However, most of the time when he fights using his sword and axe, the Riposte Saber and Axe Edge, it is either sheathed or in it's scabbard, this is primarily done in order to give his opponent a handicap over himself, while also ensuring that the dangerously monstrous concentration of magic energy located inside the blades doesn't kill anyone not strong enough to resist it's magic volume and high Ethernano particles. Regardless whether its in it's scabbard or not, the sword is still able to cut and slash with intense cutting power, being sharpened by Diego's magic aura in order to fulfill it's role as a sword but to a minimal degree, intentionally weakening himself in order to give his opponent a fighting chance.

Santiago absolutely bans himself the use of any form of weapon that isn't either his swords or guns, viewing all other weapons in Earth Land as nothing but garbage compared to his own weapons. He will only take to using another weapon if it With his accomplished prowess, he is able to augment his body with his magic energy and quite easily destroy most spells heading toward his direction with a single wave from his hand. As a result from his years of combat experience, he possesses photographic reflexes that enables him to copy any movement or action after seeing it performed at least once and perfect it to an even greater degree than the original source, this includes acrobatics, martial arts, and other physical stunts. With this ability, Diego can master any form of sword art or technique in a matter of minutes just by simply looking at it, learning everything there is to know about it without so much as bothering to practice. Unimaginably dedicated to fighting, his love of sword fights borders on the lines of becoming an obsession, often times going on a rampage and testing his abilities on living targets like humans and animals, it is for this very reason more than 48 species of animals have gone extinct by his hand. He never forgets a a style he's seen or an opponent he has had the chance to clash swords with. His experience in armed combat is unrivaled, to the point of replicating even the most difficult and dangerous of martial art techniques with the utmost ease, he is even known to be a practitioner Kenjutsu, the historic style of the samurai, known for it's use of tactics, strategy, and through understanding of one's sword as if an extension of one's own body. His fighting style and abilities easily allows him to adapt automatically to become equal or superior to any opponents style of fighting he faces, whether armed or unarmed, making an opponents attacks useless after the first strike. His ability to adapt to whatever situation he is in what makes him an incredible fighter and warrior, being able to change up his style and combat tactics in order to provide an efficient counter-measure to deal with the situation correctly, massively increasing his odds of success. By fusing Sword Magic with his basic method of combat, simply imputing coordinated hand movements with his unique sword and axe, it is nearly impossible to accurately predict his fighting tactics, thus confusing any who dare face him in armed combat.

Diego is literally a one-man army, personally that he once took on 100,000 enemies single-handedly without any aid, literally killing them all in the blink of an eye in order to spread his reputation. With his experience in his unique line of work, an assassin, murderer, and greatest hunter alive, his very mind is a living encyclopedic bank of knowledge containing information regarding every type of martial art, blade technique, skills in murder, hunting tactics, sword styles and forms, and moves in hand-to-hand fighting styles; therefore, there is absolutely no way he is unable to understand and recognize a specific style or technique that is being used against him, analyze his opponent's style of combat and locate any flaws in their attack and defense. He can also use attacks that can automatically knock down the opponent or use the strength of the opponent to his favor, effectively turning their greatest strength against themselves. As a result of his deep knowledge of the human body, combined with his vast intellect, once he gets a taste of his opponent's attack, he can effectively measure his opponent's strength and their limitations, comparing it to himself and applying the correct amount of force needed to disarm them with a single swing. Possessing an incredible perception of talent and skill, he is fully aware of where his opponent(s) are at all times in the surrounding area around him, able to use it to his maximum advantage by extending his reach through magic slashes that will cut anything in half. He can copy or mix several types of martial arts and movements and understand how a special attack works in matter of minutes. This power has only been enhanced through the passing years along with his experience and improvement of skill. Just by simply observing a move, he can effectively counter or detect flaws on an opponents Special Attacks, be it physical of magic in nature.

The speed in which Diego can learn and master abilities in question, is incredible. Not only can he just be proficient in a technique's usage, but he can also understand it's every concept and possibilities made available, tapping into it's full potential immediately. Having mastered so many abilities gives him a wide range of creative freedom to in order to give birth to brand new concepts and techniques the likes that no normal swordsman is capable of producing, as well as becoming resistant to having his power negated, among many other possibilities. From creating techniques while under fire and in the heat of battle, rarely does Diego ever find himself surprised or caught off guard when attacked with an unknown attack coming from his foe, will study it immediately and replicate it in his own way, adding his own sense of personality and finesse to it in order to bolster the effect several times over. This is thanks to the unnatural fortitude his body has in terms of power and application of said power, able to use excess strength the likes that ordinary humans would die from trying to use when swinging a sword. Without any of these limitations limiting his body, there is little to no feat and creative move he cannot use without it negatively affecting his body, impairing his talents in the ways of the sword.

His accuracy and hand-eye coordination is what truly makes him world-renown swordsman, able to slash and cut even the most smallest of targets, such as bullets and needles in half with the utmost ease. Interestingly enough, he can achieve the same feats without bothering to pay any attention, primarily through the use of his Sixth Sense to navigate his movement without using his other 5 senses, guiding his hand and sword to exactly where it needs to be and acting upon it, using his intuition and instincts to attack objects or incoming attacks that would normally be impossible to detect through conventional means. It is because of this that Diego rarely misses his target when swinging a sword, always hitting his mark with deadly accuracy and splitting it apart into millions of pieces through sound-breaking movements. With keenly honed senses trained through years of hunting and murder, he applies their full use when fighting with his swords, using his sense of hearing to keep track of his opponents breathing rhythm and muscle contortions, using his sense of smell to locate his enemies and keep track of them through their perspiration and scent, carefully using his sense of touch to feel the vibrations flowing through the air and earth to sense any incoming attacks, using his keen perception to follow their movements and coordination, and lastly using his taste to detect any changes made in the environment.

The same move will not work twice on him, once he's seen a move once, he will memorize it and create a counter-attack in order to reduce that move's effectiveness to zero. With hundreds of years of knowledge and training, he's seen nearly every move in the book, every type of technique, style, form, nothing will surprise him as he's created countless counter measures for hundreds, if not thousands of different moves that exist. With an immeasurable amount of strength in his possession, combined with his natural affinity with speed, he can swing his weapons with an unimaginable level of force the likes which no human can produce, resulting in critical and lethal damage that results when any foe blocks or is stricken by his attacks. The pressure that each swing he delivers alone has the power to uproot entire buildings, creating a gust of winds that cuts all in the area, achieving this without even applying magic, a testament of how powerful a simple swing of the sword is for Diego.
 * Slash Zone (スラッシュゾーン, Surasshuzōn): A fusion between his Sixth Sense and natural hunting abilities and senses, Diego expands his personal space of perception, creating a type of bubble that allows him to detect anything that trespass, which he can cast with the size of 5 meters, corresponding to the reach of each of his weapons. With this bubble, he can detect anything within the vicinity of his range, sensing any incoming attacks that immediately touches the outside of his bubble, cutting it down before it even has a chance to fully enter his Slash Zone. With this technique, combined with his level of speed, he can detect hundreds of incoming attacks coming at him from all directions, attacking and countering them all without skipping a beat or allowing a single blow from reaching his body. When activated, Diego allows his Sixth Sense to take the wheel, turning all of his other senses off while keeping absolutely still, with his sword sheathed and his left hand on the sword's handle. By using his left hand, he can use the full power of his speed when using a sword, enabling him to move at immeasurable speeds beyond human comprehension. While active, anything that so much as touches this bubble will be instantaneously cut down by Diego, regardless of who or what it is. Anything that occurs inside his personal space is instantly picked up by his Sixth Sense and is transmitted to his brain in seconds, acting as quickly as possible to destroy any foreign objects that so much as make contact with his dome. This move is primarily used as a defensive mechanism should Diego's enemy escape his detection, hiding somewhere he can't detect them, taking on a defensive stance in the meantime until he can effectively find them. Should he exert his will even greater, Diego can expand his Slash Zone even further, from 5 meters all the way to 50 meters, fusing his Sword Magic and immeasurable strength within his dome in order to cut anything that touches his dome or makes it inside with pin-point accuracy and maximum force.

Sword Magic
Sword Magic (剣の魔法 Ken no Mahō) is a Holder Type Magic used by Diego in tandem with his vast strength and expertise in the field of swords. Considered one of the most common magic's in existence, Diego can channel Ethernano directly into a specially constructed magic blade that causes a chain reaction to the sword, having the blade alter it's entire structure until it reaches an unstable form of metal and magic, allowing the person to manipulate it into a solid shape that can also engage the spell that the user sees fit to use. In some cases, when the person condenses the unstable structure, they often add their own elemental affinity magic, allowing for the user of elemental sword spells to be created through the effective means of the user. During the time after the sword spell is used, the Ethernano is immediately ejected from the blade, allowing the unstability, the result from the Ethernano, to cease and transform the blade back to it's normal shape. However, there are certain risks to using this magic as it takes much mental focus and incredible magic control in order to allow the blade to be altered in it's solid shape, and to be controlled in it's unstable form. When the user often attempts to make any spell, their hand is to remain on the hilt at all time, due to the fact that unless the Ethernano is controlled and is kept at a steady flow into the blade, the blade will simply revert back to it's normal shape while the Ethernano is simply ejected outward.

Take Over
Take Over (接収, テイクオーバー, Teiku Ōbā lit. Confiscation) is an Caster-Type Transformation Magic that allows Diego to essentially, "take over" the power (or the body) of an entity and use it to fight. It can increase the his power, strength, and speed to incredible levels, sometimes even adding a new skill, such as flying or breathing underwater, to his massive roster of abilities. Unlike most wizards, Diego fully submerges his instincts and mind into the role of the beast he transforms into, meaning that he will eat, kill, and consume anything that is edible, effectively healing and regenerating his strength and stamina. Diego's choice of Take Over is unlike anything any other wizard has in the world, as a hunter, he has used this spell to take over only the most powerful and mythical of monsters and creatures this world has to other, adding them to the roster of creatures he's captured and used Take Over on.
 * Full-Body Take over: By completely immersing his entire being and mind into the beast of his choosing, Diego can change his powers and appearance in accordance to the being he is trying to summon. Once done, he has his entire body become the beast, gaining access to all of it's special abilities and unique magical applications, with Diego having conscious control over his new body. Diego's choice of creatures that he uses for his take over are not ordinary, existing outside of the very fabric of nature, he's spent nearly 500 years hunting and carefully searching out mythological creatures of legend, using Take Over magic on them in order to add them to his collection. They are dubbed by Diego as the Mythological Take Over (神話引き継ぎます, Shinwa hikitsugimasu), consisting of beasts and creatures that do not belong to any race or ordinary group of creatures that exist in Earth Land, possessing an existence equivalent to that of mythological creatures, each with a danger level equivalent to that of an SSS-Class quest. Diego himself states that a single Take Over of this caliber has the power to decimate entire cities, if not countries.


 * Monster Soul: Ogre Beast (モンスターソウル：鬼獣, Monsutāsouru: Oni-jū): One of Diego's most violent monster souls under his possession, he transforms into an enormous monster with a horrific shape and form, barely any ordinary creature in Earth Land. He resembles a human, with a large frame, dark brown fur, a monstrous face, a tail, wings, horns and an immense number of snakes in place of a left arm. In this form, his incredible size easily towers over a 2 story building, the most notable change is found in how much Diego's original personality changes, drastically becoming a savage animal hell bent on killing anything in his vicinity. It is unknown as to what exactly this creature is or what race it belongs to, Diego believing that it is a member of the race of Monster's that inhabit Earth Land. While in this form, the sheer destructive power he can muster far surpasses that of his normal form, which is saying a lot given how strong he normally is, capable of flying at tremendous speeds, and dwarfing the magic force most humans can generate. Both his physical and magical prowess in this form exceeds anything he could produce in his "human" form, said to have decimated an entire city and killing all of it's inhabitants over 200 years ago until having been slain by Diego, nearly dying during the battle, a testament of how terrifying its power truly is compared to other creatures. Diego only uses this Take Over when he desires to apply as much damage and break through the defenses of others by overpowering them with sheer raw physical power. Much like normal snakes, Diego's right arm can consume and swallow organic creatures in order to convert into additional magic energy for his body to feed on, restoring his health and stamina immediately, the size that and amount each snake can swallow can range from the size of an ordinary human to an enormous Wyvern, digesting and breaking them down in seconds.
 * Immeasurable Strength: Considered a Take Over form that Diego primarily uses to fight barehanded, this Monster Soul is capable of generating and harness an incredible amount of physical power that can tear it's way through whatever meager foes obstruct his way, consuming them with a single bite. The impact power that his left arm can focus upon launching a punch can decimate a castle wall and then some, creating powerful guts of wind with enough force to send entire houses and building flying with ease, effectively destroying and uprooting anything in front of him immediately. The same can be said about his right arm, the one completely composed of 9 snakes, each possessing the power to crush and strangle anything they wrap themselves onto to dust, as well as slamming and throwing them to extraordinary distances, and if need be, he can use as whips, cutting and splitting anything they impact in half. Once he gets moving, no ordinary force can possibly stop him, be it tidal waves, tornados, natural storms, blizzards, etc, merely shrugging off and continuing onto his objective without so much as slowing down his pace or attacks. Even his wings can be used as weapons, swinging them with such an amount of force so great, Diego can create compressed air currents so sharp that they'll cut their way through practically everything, slicing anything caught in these winds to millions of pieces. For Diego, this form is used to destroy and kill anything everything in his path, tearing anything apart, limb from limb and using his incredibly powerful claws to maim and claw all foes that dare oppose him.
 * Immeasurable Durability: Aside from it's enormous strength, Ogre Beast is incredibly resilient to most forms of magic attacks, especially those involving elements. His fur alone is strong enough to stop bullets and incoming projectile from ever making contact with his skin, let alone muscle or inner flesh, additionally having in his possession a muscle density so thick and hard that swords, magic blasts, or slashes are rendered next to useless against him. The strongest parts in his entire body however are primarily his horns, fangs, and claws, strong enough to resist even the most extreme of blunt trauma and physical contact without showing signs of wear and tear, making it their pride and joy as monster beasts. Ogre Beast can shrug off most incoming volleys of attack without so much as flinching or paying any attention, ignoring it in order to chase after it's prey, it is for this very reason that Diego decided to Take Over this creature in contrast to simply killing it, using it to add onto his own strength in order to become the ultimate hunting machine.
 * Enhanced Smell: Ogre Beast possesses a strong sense of smell, perceiving many different scents in an area and differentiating them from large crowds with absolute ease, making it easier for them to chase and hunt their prey without losing track of them when on the run.
 * Lethal Poison: One of Ogre Beat's greatest skills is producing poisons of tremendously deadly effect, killing any unfortunate soul infected with it in a matter of minutes. Diego can launch this poison in one of two ways, the first being using his snake arm to inject it directly into the body of his target through bites, or simply firing it in the form of spit and saliva, sinking through their pores and open sores located all over their body. The poison will causes excruciating pain, elevating higher as time passes until the victim dies.
 * Fire Magic: Considered the only magic ability Diego can use while using this form, he can create and generate flames of terrible effect, reducing everything they touch to ash. The fire created is mainly through his outer body, mainly through his hands and snakes, however, when Diego wants to channel the full fury of his Fire Magic, using it to it's utmost maximum power, he begins by charging his magic to the limit, he fires the fire from his mouth, in a similar fashion to that of a Dragon. The power and temperature it can reach when fired is said to almost rival that of a Dragon itself, engulfing entire cities whole in an ocean of fire, reducing anything and everything to ash immediately upon contact, insuring that no living creature survive.
 * Flight: It go's without saying, but Ogre Beast is capable of flight, using it's enormous wings and tremendous strength to lift itself of the ground floor and soar through the sky. Depending on the amount of magic energy Diego expends, he can move incredibly fast and swiftly through the air, moving at terminal velocity in seconds.
