Loki (ロキ) is the Norse god of mischief and the main antagonist of Magika no Kenshi to Shōkan Vasreus. He was the first Diva to successfully fully posses a human body, Kazuki's childhood friend, Kaya.

Appearance[]

Loki takes the appearance of a gigantic dragon. In human form, Loki takes the appearance of a young man in his teens who has neck-length silver-blue hair and jade colored eyes, he wears a white suit with a black sleeve. The suit is also adorned with black fur and red ribbons. Loki also wears two earrings and a black ornament on his head.

Personality[]

Loki has a cruel, merciless, and arrogant personality. He underestimates his opponents a lot as when he underestimated Hayashizaki Kazuki however in the end he accepted him not as just a "mere human" but as Solomon's King. He doesn't seem to care about his contractor Kaya because he was only using her to get his body back. Loki's one and only goal is to make Ragnarök happen and cause havoc around the world.

History[]

Years ago Loki made his first attempt to manifest in the world. He and his contractor fought against Hibiki, the previous King of Solomon inside the "Tokyo Sea of Trees" Haunted Ground and in the end both contractors died. After her friends Kazuki and Miō were adopted from the orphanage where they lived, Kaya was left behind and very lonely. She dreamed of having power of her own, which is why she allowed Loki to bond with her, becoming an Illegal Magician. Loki planted the strong impulse to kill those people she loved within her to twist her mind. She fought this impulse as much and she could for a long time and it drove her mad. About a year before the start of the story she destroyed the orphanage where she grew up and killed everyone there, though she tried to suppress the memory of it. She relocated to Tokyo where he predicted she would meet Kazuki and Miō again one day and became a Stigma Hunter.

Plot[]

Volume 1[]

Chapter 5:

  • Kaya had infiltrated the National Knight Academy during a rare public event and launched an attack. She was battling against Hayashizaki Kazuki and Amasaki Miō who were attempting to stop her without killing her. But no mercy was shown by Otonashi Kaguya, who used her strongest magic to target all the enemies with a deadly attack. Kaya would have died had she not in a last act of desperation surrendered to Loki (who seized control but left Kaya’s personality intact on a whim). He walked out of the flames unscathed and bragged about being the first Diva to accomplish the feat. Nearly everyone lost the will to fight at that moment but Kazuki was upset about the apparent loss of his childhood friend and stood up to him. Loki recognized him at once as the contractor of Lemegeton and Solomon’s King. Loki was surprised that he was unable to defeat this human with Swordsmanship alone. He launched a powerful attack at Kazuki that surely world have killed him. But Miō took the hit, sacrificing herself to protect him. Loki seemed to regret injuring her. Kazuki suddenly found the focus he needed to pull off a special sword technique that was only theoretical before. He used it to pierce Loki’s Defensive Magic and injure him. Loki would have retaliated but Kaguya got her resolve back and was ready to defend her junior. At that time an Illegal Magician turned up who he recognized as Midgarsormr. The two escaped together but not until he acknowledged Kazuki and a worthy King. Over the next few days he was able to rally the rogue Diva to his side by promising to show them the secret of gaining a flesh body.

Volume 2[]

Chapter 4:

  • Loki had conducted a series of hit-and-run raids on the Japanese Knight Order. But his objective was merely to cause chaos and disruption, not taking human lives. There had been no casualties so far and he was also keeping a tight leash on the Illegal Magicians so they wouldn’t harm innocent people. On his first visit to the Academy Loki had recognized the Headmaster Otonashi Tsukikurō as the vessel of Nyarlathotep. He had been visiting in secret trying to form an alliance. Kazuki was stunned to run into Kaya. Loki’s whimsical decision not to destroy her original personality was already paying dividends and he laughed at the look on Kazuki’s face. He was still recovering from his injury and Kaya was his disguise. Kazuki was having troubles with the top Knight from Germany Beatrix Baumgard, contractor of Thor. Since they had a common foe Kaya suggested teaming up. Loki demonstrated his good faith by becoming Kazuki’s temporary ally, allowing Kaya to appear as a conquest target. Kazuki hesitated but once he understood that Loki had no hostility toward humans but only wanted to cause chaos and get revenge on the Norse Mythology he agreed to work with them. Loki seemed to have aspirations of winning Kazuki over to his side, but Kaya knew that wouldn’t work.

Chapter 5:

  • When their group battled Beatrix, Loki seemed to partially materialize using Kaya’s body. Eventually the powers Kaya used exposed her identity as Loki’s contractor. Thor emerged and said their participation in the hunt for him was only a pretsense. They were only there to eliminate Lotte and in truth Odin intended to bring Loki back into the fold. Kaya voiced Loki’s response, which was critical of their restrictive Faith Doctrine and he wanted nothing to do with them. Kaya had to withdraw die to the damage taken during the fight. As a side note those negotiations with the Headmaster failed but Nyarlathotep entrusted him with a small piece of himself. Loki used that to transform Maya into his new vessel after his main body was destroyed.

Volume 6[]

Through her connections in Yamato, Kaya had the opportunity to meet with the King of China Fu Xi. The young Emperor was a pretty teenage girl. She was adorned with so many heavy ornaments she had to constantly use magic to support their weight. She offered any aid they wanted, but Loki knew such help would come with strings attached. So they said they wouldn’t ask for help unless they really needed it. Loki knew this girl’s King Authority granted her power based on the amount of territory she controlled. But the other countries wouldn’t allow them to aggressively expand their territory without stepping in. So they were forced to obscure their efforts by using careful manipulation and deceit to give their expansion the appearance of legitimacy. One such case was Yamato, who proclaimed western Japan an independent state after it was conquered by a group using Japanese Divas. But in truth their leaders were all sleeper agents loyal to China. Through this alliance they were more or less allowing China to annex them. Loki didn’t care who won the Civil War that resulted, it was the resulting chaos he was after.

It was later revealed that there were two Chief Gods of Japanese Mythology. Susanoo and Amaterasu were the Yin and Yang and totally opposite. Normally Susanoo and Amaterasu would each nominate a candidate and they would fight for the formal title of King and the ability to use the King’s Authority. Amaterasu dearly loved her contractor Kamimura Itsuki but knew she wasn’t suited for combat, so she refused to make her an official candidate. Susanoo became frustrated about this and the fact their Mythology had gotten so weak. So he made an alliance with Yamato and Loki, though neither side truly trusted each other. He arranged to have Itsuki brutally murdered by Yamato, hoping to force his counterpart to choose another candidate. Instead Amaterasu took her contractor’s soul into her own realm and was desperately keeping it intact. Susanoo helped Yamato and Loki drive his subordinates into a Wild God state.

In the meantime they rounded up all the young people with strong magic power they could find. Many of them were desperate for power and jealous of the Stigma. When they were offered a chance to form an artificial contract with a Diva they agreed. But the irrational Wild Gods no longer had the ability to form proper contracts and wound up forcefully possessing those people at the ceremony. Quite a number of them lost their sanity and became little better than Demonic Beasts, fueled by irrational hatred of all magicians. Those rejects were left behind to guard Ise Grand Shrine. Susanoo was using them to turn it into a Haunted Ground to sap the strength of his rival and destroy her. Kazuki later infiltrated the shrine and the first instinct of Susanoo’s contractor Ikōsai Aisu was to kill him to end the war. But the other side’s plan was to make Amaterasu and Itsuki subordinate to Kazuki and have him be the proxy King candidate. There were advantages for them in that scenario. Since they no longer needed to be dependent on Loki for their power their tenuous relationship with Loki soon ended.

They were contacted by Ikōsai Aisu who told them Kazuki and Kazuha had infiltrated Ise Grand Shrine. Kazuki would become the opposing candidate for King of Japan and they were asked not to interfere with him until the contest was settled. But Kaya and a few others showed up at the shrine, having never intended to honor their agreement.  She didn’t believe Aisu had the ability to defeat Kazuki. She also knew how her Power of Usurpation worked and that as soon as she defeated Kazuki would have gone after the other Kings, including her former allies. Aisu was so furious she almost surrendered totally to her Diva to seek revenge but Kazuki stopped her. He believed they could escape if they worked together. He knew Kaya could only bring a few close followers because they couldn’t let it be revealed how they had tricked the Japanese Divas into joining them. Kaya asked her followers to hold his companions back, confident she could defeat Kazuki. They were all shocked when he suddenly revealed a new skill.  

The group displayed their Summoning Magic as they ran down the stairs to intercept the force from Yamato. Aisu acted offended after getting help from Itsuki but still lined up with them. Among the masked figures facing them Kazuki recognized Maya. He also recognized other Divas from Norse Mythology such as Hel and Fenrir. But he knew from past experience that while Illegal Magicians had fast chanting speed, they tended to be limited to low-level magic. He was confident in his companions facing 3-to-1 odds and took on Kaya. Kazuki easily used his improved power to overpower Kaya, who surrendered control to Loki. He summoned dragons and Kazuki used his unique skills and experience to defeat them. They are interrupted by Midgarsormr. The Yamato guys were under attack, many of the magic users had fled and asking for help, Loki figured out how Kazuki contacted his allies to signal is success. Loki and Kaya decided to ignore it, more interested in testing Kazuki’s new powers. Kazuki was able to counter skills that worked before. When Loki used a weapon, he couldn’t block, Kazuki went for mutual destruction. Loki couldn’t believe Kazuki took such a foolhardy risk to win. Both of them were in rough shape but Kazuki was running low of magic after having fought all day. He was surprised when Loki decided they should retreat rather than finish him off. It seems they were satisfied having gotten an accurate picture of his growth. Kazuki was viewed as a necessary piece of their future plans.  

Since it became an international conflict when China chose to intervene directly, things would soon get more complicated. The other Magically Advanced Countries would soon step in and force a cease fire. They would then investigate the matter and make a judgment of which government was the legitimate ruling body of Japan. There was no way to be sure what criteria they would use. If there was a divided opinion it could become a stalemate until either Kazuki or Aisu won the battle and became Japan’s official King, which is just the kind of chaos Loki was after.
