Merciless ｢心無者, mujihinaru mono, lit. "Heartless Person"｣ is a Unique skill awakened by Rimuru Tempest during the events of A Demon Lord's Awakening. It was sacrificed to nurture Gluttony into the Ultimate skill Beelzebuth.
Abilities[]
Whenever an individual within range is recognized by the user as an "enemy" they come under the influence of Merciless. From that point on if they lose the will to fight or their heart is broken their soul comes under the influence of the user and allows them to reap it at any time. Even if they were allowed to escape, their soul remains under the thrall of the user and can be taken at any time at the first thought of rebellion.[1]
Sub-Skills[]
- Soul Consumption ｢魂喰, konjiki｣: Allows the user to selectively reap the souls of those that are under the full influence of Merciless. It can also be applied as a coating to the user's attacks, making their every attack eat away at the energy and Spiritual body of the target on contact like a deadly poison.[2]
