Xerx Lugner Respect Thread

Pre Timeskip

Xerx Lugner is the current Vice-captain of the Purple Orcas Squad, therefore he is technically a 1st Class Senior Magic Knight, just one place below the captains. This means that he is by definition a strong, competent and an effective magic knight, and considering that he is a nobleman, his magic power is greater than most of the people.

According to the anime, and based on the Heart Kingdom's power system, the vice-captains should be at least Stage One mages.

With this we can assume that he is a really strong mage, since he is just behind the stage zero, which is the highest stage a mage can achieve.

Xerx is a user of Ice Magic, which allows him generate and manipulate ice.

Throughout the manga he has only used one spell, the Ice Slicer, which creates several spikes of ice.

This may seem like an anti-feat due to how the fight played out, but when the power of his spell is doubled, it can leave someone severely injured.

It seems that all mages can use Mana Skin at some extent, which is a mana technique that protects the user from harsh environments while increasing their physical capabilities.

Elf Form

When Patry resurrected all the elves, the possessed mages gained an enormous amount of power, as the elves are known for having huge mana reserves and a greater power than humans. This allowed Xerx to surpass even royalty's power, and consequently, become a dangerous threat to the Clover Kingdom.

It should be noted that all elves are loved by mana, which basically means that mana itself favors them, as they possess extra big mana reserves and can control it much easier than the average individual.

Moreover, they can bypass powerful mana-control spells like Zenon's Spatial Mana Domination.

Unlike all humans, they can use large quantities of forbidden magic without succumbing to weg.

Thanks to the elf's power, the Ice Slicer could create much bigger spikes.

The spikes were large enough to match the height of the Raging Black Bull.

Elf Xerx could also use his ice magic to immobilize people.

He could even cover entire buildings in ice.

His ice defense was strong enough to block Magna’s fire attack.

Keep in mind that Henry boosted Magna's attack.

Alongside two other elves, he easily defeated several magic knights.

When he combined his power with two other elves, their attack was powerful enough to put on danger all the people of Hecairo, which is the greatest town in the common realm.

Thanks to his overflowing mana, he was able to use a much stronger version of Mana Skin, as he could generate a really dense barrier around him to prevent weaker mages from using their magic effectively.

Note: When the elves were exorcised, the possessed mages retained a little of the elves' vast power, which boosted their magic to a certain level.

Conclusion

There is not much to say about Xerx, but it seems that he is a competent knight despite his abusive nature, yes, he was stomped by Zora, but looking at it from Xerx's point of view, it's not every day you come across a peasant who can return your attack in an instant, after all, Zora is a trap magic user, he focuses on outsmarting people and taking them by surprise. Xerx is not that important to the story, but it would be cool to see him again.
