[[caption-width-right:260:“…… I’m sorry for the late introduction. My name is Nelgliffe Neogram. I am the latest of the four high priests of Levi’s religion.”]]

Put Tropes here
* AffectionateGestureToTheHead: He oftens headpats [[OlderThanSheLooks Chloe]] on the head, embarrasing her.
* ArcVillain: [[spoiler: Of "The Demon of Palgas Village" arc]].
* BaitTheDog: [[spoiler: He shows up to aid Abel in the village, excessively heaps praise on him, discloses valuable information in an act of benevolence, revealing his past in the churchyard and history with Chloe, all to gain Abel's trust and sympathy]].[[spoiler: Just to stab him in the back after he deems him TooDangerousToLive or [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness lost his usefulness to him]]]].
* BondVillainStupidity: [[spoiler: He has one Levi follower restrain Mea so she won't interfere with executing Abel, yet he's so stupefied when Abel [[BreakingTheBonds breaks his Arogua shackles and untie his ropes using magic]], he never bother using [[HostageSituation Mea as hostage]] to force Abel to [[SurrenderBackfire comply and let himself be killed]]. Even better, he missed a chance to kill Abel while he's imprisoned, because [[EvilIsPetty he wanted to destroy the villagers' image of him]]]].
* CaptainSmoothAndSergeantRough: Nelgliffe is friendly and affable, while Chloe is the stickler to the rules, shows hostility to strangers and chides Nelgliffe for acting friendly with them.
* CoolOldGuy: He's in his 60s from Abel's description of him, loved by the Palgas village's citizens for taking care of their sick and providing them with elixirs, drawing them to the religion of Levi. Even Abel is conflicted with the fact that he belongs to Levi church. [[spoiler: Subverted, as he's actually an EvilOldFolks, who is not what people thinks he is]].
* CrocodileTears: [[spoiler: He often spills tears easily to [[ManipulativeBastard manipulate the followers from Palgas village, Abel.. and Chloe to his whims]]]].
* DeadlyHug: [[spoiler: He gives Abel a ManHug after congratulating him on hunting the Live Foggs, but was actually trying to kill him with magic. He fails, as he gets [[HorrifyingTheHorror frightened]] by [[BattleAura Abel's high frequency magic circling through his body]]]].
* DidntSeeThatComing: [[spoiler: He sets up the Livglass recipe paper he handed to Abel to crumble and destroy itself after he reads it, to either prevent Abel from actually curing Chief Heil, or to cover his own track and frame Abel with the theft of the recipe and ingredients, and had Chloe and his men search the Chief's house, [[ProperlyParanoid intent on destroying the paper]]. He didn't expect Abel to keep the paper from destroying itself then misplacing it, nor that [[SpannerInTheWorks Mea]] would find the paper and present it as evidence at the Devil's Trial.. in front of [[LiarRevealed Levi followers who are unaware of his corruption]], forcing him to reveal himself]].
* EngineeredHeroics:
** [[spoiler: He had six Levi followers accost Abel, Mea and Elia when they entered Palgas village, [[BigDamnHeroes so he would come and stop them]], to earn Able's trust]].
-->[[spoiler:'''Nelgliffe''': “Abel-dono is a reasonably skilled magician, but he doesn’t appear to be used to this kind of situation…… It’s hard to find someone easy to manipulate than that. I’ve already laid the groundwork for my previous contacts with Abel.”]]
** [[spoiler: He was the one who summoned the demon that spread the disease afflicting the village, so he would bring more Levi followers to care for the sick, after he 'destroyed' the demon. He then creates the elixir, Livglass, and [[WithholdTheCure distribute it, diluted, on small quantities, to keep the villagers dependent on his elixir]], while the demon keeps spreading the disease]].
* TheFace: Abel believes that [[UnwittingPawn he's being used]] by [[CorruptChurch Levi Church]] in their invasion on Palgas village. [[spoiler: He's wrong. He's the [[EvilAllAlong leader of the operation]]]].
* TheFarmerAndTheViper: [[spoiler: Chloe [[TakingTheBullet jumps in front of him and deflects the 'sacred fire' torch from hitting him]], but [[WomanOnFire her clothes are set on fire as a result]]. When Abel confronts him, [[DirtyCoward he accuses Chloe of being replaced by a devil]], and order four Levi followers to execute her on the spot]].
* GoodSamaritan: He came to the village after hearing of the disease the befell its citizens, stayed to heal them with an elixir that's exclusive to his church, he points Abel to the ingredient and provides him with the recipe and ingredients to heal the village Chief Heil with it, despite his hostility to the church before he fell sick. [[spoiler: Only to reveal himself as a BadSamaritan, who was [[UnwittingPawn using Abel to further his own goals]], while [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident trying to get rid of him]]. And when that doesn't work, he [[FrameUp frames him for a demon]] in order to have him killed through [[TrialByOrdeal the Devil Trial]]]].
* HighPriest: One of the Four Great High Priests of Levi Church. He announces it early to Abel during his introduction.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard:
** [[spoiler: [[BewareTheNiceOnes Abel almost inflict this]] on him after he frees himself. He decides to "resume the trial" by taking hold of the torch with the "sacred flame" using wind magic, then throws it on Nelgliffe to [[ATasteOfHisOwnMedicine check if he's a devil or not]]. Chloe ends up TakingTheBullet for him, and [[WomanOnFire the fire catches on her clothes]] instead]].
-->[[spoiler:'''Abel''':Now then, let’s resume the devil’s trial. We’ll do it your way. Let’s find out who is a crooked devil with a bad heart]].”
** [[spoiler: He manages to escape to the roof of a Levi's church. But instead of running away, he decides to [[SummonMagic to call the power of the god Levi's spear]] to destroy Abel and the village. [[EvilIsNotAToy Big mistake]], since the god Levi [[VillainTakesAnInterest wanted to see Abel himself]] and decided to [[HijackedByGanon force himself into the summoning]]. The resulting battle between Abel and Levi caused Nelgliffe to fall 3-stories high to the ground, be buried under the rubble of the Levi church he was standing on, defeated yet surprisingly still alive]].
* HolyHalo: After Nelgliffe proceeds to reveal the recipe for the elixir Livglass, Abel begins seeing him behind a halo of light, and is moved to tears.
* IllPretendIDidntHearThat: He pretends to forget giving Abel the paper with the [[PanaCea Livglass]] recipe, because [[ClassifiedInformation only the higher rank priests are allowed to see it]], so he could have Abel heal Chief Heil. [[spoiler: When Nelgliffe takes control of the Devil Trial against Abel, and holds a piece of the same paper with the recipe, that could prove Abel's innocence: [[DestroyTheEvidence he throws it and stomp on it]], and says]]:
-->[[spoiler:'''Nelgliffe''': “I taught Master Abel about it……? Hmmm, [[IronicEcho I don’t remember this]], but well, that’s not the point.”]]
* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler: When Chloe shows hesitancy after he tells her to take the lead on the framing and trial of Abel, he gives these questions to test her faith in him. Just guess what he does when she fails:]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Nelgliffe''': “…… You can cooperate, but you don’t want to be the subject? Or…… do you suspect me? That, in the worst-case scenario, [[DirtyCoward I’m going to cut Chloe off and try to escape on my own……?”]]]]
* LikeAGodToMe: After hearing from Abel of the incident with [[spoiler: Marias]] in the Fage territory, and delivering over 50 Live Fogg contained in bottles, Nelgliffe becomes enamored with Abel. Likening him to Riveran, a messenger angel of Levi, and praises him for stopping [[spoiler: Marias]]'s scheme and for helping to save the village with all the Live Fogg to use for the elixir creation, and begins spilling TearsOfJoy, and [[ManHug gives him a hug]].
* MasterActor: [[spoiler: One would be forgiven for calling out Abel for holding the IdiotBall throughout his story arc, as Nelgliffe pulls off the GoodShepherd image quite well, only the story confirms his true colors when it leads to his side-chapters. He spills TearsOfJoy after a follower thanks him for curing her husband, he showers Abel with praise as he sees him examining a patient, he gets BlueWithShock when Abel tells him the disease demon is still alive, to name a few moments]].
* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler: A particularly nasty one]]:
** [[spoiler: As Chloe puts it, he is good at [[MetaphoricallyTrue weaving truth into what he wants and let his gullible victims fill in the gaps]] with what he wants them to believe. If you lie or cheat, [[LiarRevealed you'll fall somewhere]]. If you hide your identity, you'll lose trust. And what better place to openly reveal your past than a rural area in the boarders?]]
** [[spoiler: His revealing the ingredients of the elixir, Livglass, to Abel is of benefit to him, whether he obtains it or not. If he does obtain it, [[WithholdingTheCure they'll just keep it in their storage and use their old diluted one]] to temporary cure the villagers, making them aware of it to increase their dependency, and make Abel commit to the village to make him a FolkHero. If he doesn't obtain it, they'll comfort the villagers.. '''AFTER''' they are done humiliating Abel for his failure, to [[BreakTheHaughty shatter his confidence]] and [[EmptyShell destroy his grip on the world]]. And to top it all off, the [[ObfuscatingStupidity three friendly Levi followers]] sent with him on the hunting trip.. are actually ProfessionalKillers ordered to [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident kill him and Mea]], if he proves TooPowerfulToLive for them. Sheesh]]...
** [[spoiler: When that didn't work, and instead ended with [[GoneHorriblyWrong Abel bringing enough Live Foggs to cure the entire village]] and [[OpenSecret told the village about it]], he [[WouldHurtAChild decides to dispose of Abel]]. He had his demon cause a fire in the main Levi church, where the Live Fogg was stored, then had Chloe and some of his men [[FrameUp accuse Abel]] of stealing then destroying the Live Foggs, injuring Nelgliffe, [[KangarooCourt and insist that he did it and refuse any attempt to defend himself]]. Chloe then accuses him for being a demon and initiate a [[TrialByOrdeal Devil Trial]], daring him to take it if he want to [[OnlyGoodPeopleMayPass prove his innocence]]. When Abel thought of [[ScrewThisIAmOuttaHere running away from the village]], he runs into Kamla, who secretly tells him that Nelgliffe woke up, and is planning to [[LastMinuteReprieve stop Chloe during the Devil Trial]] and save him, making Abel [[SelfRestraint comply with his arrest]]. What Abel doesn't know is, that the [[BurnTheWitch Devil Trial is rigged to kill whoever they accuse]], and Nelgliffe [[ILied lied]], because he'll be [[EvilIsPetty watching Abel's execution from a safe distance]]. And if [[XantosGambit that didn't work]]... He'll [[DivineIntervention summon the weapon of the god Levi, Levi's Spear]] to destroy Abel, the village and its Levi's followers [[SoLongSuckers and run away]]]].
* NearVillainVictory: He appears, alive and well, after Chloe's sham of a Devil's Trial is foiled, [[spoiler: only to take over the trial himself, [[SilenceYouFool silences the protesting crowd]] as he [[HangingJudge demands to continue with Abel's trial]], disregards the paper evidence, has a Levi follower restrain Mea, and orders Chloe to proceed with burning Abel with the fire. Unfortunately for him, [[LetsGetDangerous Abel wasn't as helpless as he thought he'd be]]]].
-->[[spoiler:'''Nelgliffe''': “Silence. We are in the presence of Levi-sama. Without so much noise, everything will be revealed before his mind’s eye. The pursuit of Chloe can be done afterwards. The Devil’s Trial is sacred, so there is no reason to make Levi-sama wait for nothing.”]]
* OhCrap: [[spoiler: When he sees Abel BreakingTheBonds by using his magic, despite him wearing his [[SupernormalBindings Arogua stone shackles]]. Abel notes that at that moment, [[BreakTheHaughty Nelgliffe's expression finally changed]]]].
* ThisPageWillSelfDestruct: He has Kamla hands Abel the ingredints and recipe for Livglass, but the paper is empty! After Abel let his magic flow through it, [[InvisibleWriting the writing appear on the paper]], but as he began reading it, the paper began to degrade and crumble. Abel stops it with a "Maintain" spell, noting that there are a lot of magic mechanisms implemented to destroy the paper.
* PragmaticVillainy:
** [[spoiler: After Abel over-fishes the Live Fogg creatures for the the elixir, he sets on killing Abel in a way he'll be outed as a demon through the [[TrialByOrdeal Devil Trial]]. When Chloe asks why since he blindly trusts Nelgliffe and [[UnwittingPawn the best tool to be used]], he answers:]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Nelgliffe''': “I can already see the collapse of the system. The best tool is one that can be used to kill at any time. [[ShootTheDangerousMinion We can’t sit on this slender rope any longer.]]”]]
** [[spoiler: He [[FrameUp frames Abel for injuring him and destroying the Live Fogg supply]], has [[PersonalMinion Chloe]] arrests him on the suspicion of being a demon, [[KangarooCourt to instigate a Devil Trial]], and direct the citizens' hatred to Abel, while he keeps WithholdingTheCure]].
* PrepareToDie: [[spoiler: As he prepares to summon [[BigFreakingSword Levi's spear]] to destroy Palgas village]]:
-->[[spoiler: '''Nelgliffe''': “Shudder, and praise forever! The power of the great spear, half of Levi-sama’s body! Let it be your last honor to decay before its power!”]]
* QuarantineWithExtremePrejudice: Because of the disease spreading and not showing any signs of stopping, he had the Levi followers prevents and advise the citizens from leaving the village, least they spread the disease. [[spoiler: It's a lie, as he is controlling the demon spreading the disease, and this is his excuse to [[ImpededCommunication prevent anyone from sending a message asking for help]]]].
* SelfHarm: [[spoiler: When he was a child, Nelgliffe was trained by Levi's church [[EmotionSuppression to keep his emotions from being expressed]]. When he couldn't control them anymore, he would rub his palms with his thumbs to distract himself. The last time it happened when he was ten years old. After his scheme to kill Abel failed, [[RageBreakingPoint he tore both skin and flesh off the palm of one of his hands]] to the point he drew blood, while he was shaking Abel's hand with the other and [[StepfordSmiler cheerfully smiling]]]].
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: [[spoiler: He gives this answer to Chloe, after she suffers a HeroicBSOD from learning the [[AwfulTruth truth behind the Devil Trial]]. Given how much of a MasterActor he is, it was probably just an [[FalseInnocenceTrick act to justify his corruption]] and to [[CorruptTheCutie have her comply out of sympathy]]:]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Nelgliffe''': “…… I don’t like this kind of move either. I was outraged the first time I was informed, and [[WithUsOrAgainstUs I was even thrown in jail for screaming that it was wrong]]. However, [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMean the world does not revolve around cleanliness]] …… and to prevent the resurrection of the [[SealedGoodInACan Great Evil God Kudol]], [[TautologicalTemplar we must harden our hearts]]. Chloe …… since it’s you who knows of [[TrappedInVillainy my suffering]], I thought you would understand so I told you.”]]
* VillainsWantMercy: [[spoiler: He tries it twice]]:
** [[spoiler: When Abel was about to [[ATasteOfHisOwnMedicine throw the "sacred fire" torch at him]]]]:

'''Abel''': “[[DumbassNoMore I’m not going to fall for that anymore]]! Making fun of people so much!”]]
** [[spoiler: When he's surrounded by the Levi followers and villagers [[BadBoss who he just tried to kill]] using Levi. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown They beat him up with rocks and wooden sticks]]]]:

* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: [[spoiler: When Kamla suggests using poison to kill Abel, Nelgliffe shoots the idea down, reasoning that Abel's [[BattleAura high frequency magic will most likely detect it]], causing him to vomit it out or [[NoSell destroy the poison inside his body]]]].
* WolfInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: He's the GoodShepherd of Levi's church, who'll lead you with a smile, a tear and a praise to your execution, and no one will suspect him as he gives a few diluted elixirs to a village, while holding a storage of it to himself, and keep its citizens dependent on him, because of how much of a MasterActor he is]].
-->[[spoiler:'''Abel (narrating)''': Then it finally dawned on me. From the first time we met …… no, before we met, from the first time I got tangled up with the out-of-character Levi Church, until this moment, that [[OhCrap I’ve been dancing on the hand of this guy from the start]]]].
* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler: Subverted. When Chloe calls for the punishment of [[ProfessionalKiller Augen, Kamla and Sophia]] for their failure to kill Abel, he tells her there is no need for it, as it is his fault for misjudging the situation]].
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: Contemplates getting rid of Chloe when [[EvilMentor he feels]] she's [[EvenEvilHasStandards still not comfortable with his cruel and corrupt methods]], but also [[BlindObedience more deluded about him than others]]. He later turns on her to try to save his own hide]].

* AdaptationDyeJob: Has blonde hair in the webnovel, and blue hair in the light novel.
* APupilOfMineUntilSheTurnedToEvil: Nelgliffe implies this is why Chloe is hostile to Abel, and that she's responsible for impeding the creation of Livglass. [[spoiler: He's lying. He's using [[RedHerring Chloe to distract Abel]] from his own plans to destroy him when he least suspects it]].
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: [[spoiler: Threw herself in the way of a falling lit torch with a fire that should've burned a human to death. Said fire caught in her priestess robes, spread quickly as she futilely rolled on the ground, then was doused with water. All that just got her clothes singed and torn [[https://imgur.com/a/bhOz9Yd]] here]].
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler: When [[EvilMentor Nelgliffe]] accused her of [[FrameUp being a devil after the 'sacred fire' burned her]], and ordered four Levi followers to execute her, she was astonished]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: She agrees to [[SinisterMinister Nelgliffe]]'s ways of [[EngineeredHeroics trickery]] and [[WithholdingTheCure keeping the village suffering from the disease]] to convert the citizens to Leviism, to an extent. But [[WouldntHurtAChild she's shown to be upset on the thought of resorting to kill two teenagers]], even knowing they are spies. Yet she gets angry at Kamla and Sophia for failing to kill them. She also strongly disagree on killing Abel through a Devil Trial, [[TheFettered calling it a defilement to a sacred ritual]], until Nelgliffe tells her [[PublicExecution the truth]]. Subverted as she [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope agrees to frame up Abel and hold the trial herself]]]].
* HeadSmackTheIdiot: She clubbed one of Levi's followers with her "stupidly large staff" on the head, when he tried justifying accosting Abel, Mea and Elia when they entered Palgas village, to Nelgliffe.

* KnightTemplar: [[spoiler: She completely believes that Levi church and their god are justified in their conquest of the Dinrat Kingdom, to prevent the 'Evil' [[BigGood Goddess Kudor]] from awakening and destroying their god again, no matter how dirty their hands will get. That's until she learns what [[EvilMentor Nelgliffe]] and [[GodIsEvil Levi]] are really like]].
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: Big time. She's outed for [[LiarRevealed cheating the Devil's Trial in front of a crowd of villagers and Levi followers]], the fake 'sacred fire' she wanted to kill Abel with torched her instead, her [[EvilMentor mentor]] and father figure [[DirtyCoward turns on her to save his own skin]] and [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness order her execution]], then he summons their god to [[BadBoss kill her and everyone there]] just to dispose of Abel, [[PunchOutAGod who then defeats said god]] after he proves to be a major EvilGod. Then she's arrested along with her mentor and the followers, [[KnowWhenToFoldEm who aren't resisting arrest, let alone bother to]]]].
* MagicStaff: Carries a ridiculously large gold staff. Abel wonders if she's physically stronger than him despite her size.
* OlderThanSheLooks: Due to her being half-Noir.
-->'''Chloe''': “That’s fine! …… Jeez. I’ll admit that my growth is a little slow because of the blood, but on the inside, I’m already an adult. Please don’t treat me like a child.”
* ParentalAbandonment: Orphaned in one of the many inter-wars between the Levi church factions. She was raised in a churchyard that doubled as an orphanage, that [[TheMentor Nelgliffe]] was working in as a priest.
* PointyEars: In the webnovel, Abel notes that her ears are 'a little longer than a Norcs''. Which could mean she's a [[MageSpecies Noir]], or [[HalfHumanHybrid half-Noir]].
* RedHerring: [[spoiler:[[ExploitedTrope Exploited]] by [[ManipulativeBastard Nelgliffe]]. Thanks to Chloe's insistence on attacking Abel and showing him hostility, it was made easy for Nelgliffe to win his trust. He exploits it even more, by making Abel believes that Chloe has her own faction intent on destroying him, to keep himself BeneathSuspicion]].
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: When [[SpannerInTheWork Mea]] barges in on the trial, carrying the Livglass recipe paper that Abel got from Nelgliffe, and [[ClearTheirName explains how Abel got it, proving his innocence]]. Chloe started swearing and denying ever seeing that paper, and [[PaperDestructionOfAnger tears it from Mea's hand]], only to scatter into pieces for the church members to collect and figure things out, [[LiarRevealed making them realize that something is indeed off with trial]]. Surrounded by people's questioning looks, she [[KneeFoldFallOfDefeat falls on her knees]], her face went [[ColorFailure pale like a Marren]] as Abel puts it, [[DeepBreathRevealsTension hyperventilates]], and [[TearsOfFear tears start pouring from her eyes]]. [[SympathyForTheDevil Abel actually felt sorry for her]]]].
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: Chloe disappears from the story after Palgas Village is freed from Levi Church.

* WomanOnFire: [[spoiler: After jumping in front of Nelgliffe, knocking off the torch that Able threw at him with her staff, the fire catches on her priestess robes.

When [[UngratefulBastard Nelgliffe]] order the followers to execute Chloe with water spears, [[SaveTheVillain Abel manipulates their magic circles to instead douse the flames with water]]]].

-->'''Nelgliffe''': “I’d like to introduce you these three as your companions in the search for Live Fogg…… How about that? All three of them are still young, but…… they have experience as adventurers, and we decided that they are suitable for the search for Live Fogg. They are motivated and have been under my direct supervision for a long time, so they are three trustworthy people.”

----
* AssassinOutclassin: [[spoiler: Their attempts to kill Abel ended up being foiled by him, with him [[TheFool non the wiser to even a hint of the attempt]]]]:

** [[spoiler: [[DeadlyDoctor Sophia]] tries to kill Abel by [[BloodMagic manipulating the water in his body]], disgused as a magic techinque to heal his sour muscles. Kamla stops her, fearing for her life should [[MuggingTheMonster Abel notice and retaliate]]]].
* TheCharmer: Kamla attempts sweet-talking Mea into going to live in the Riveras Kingdom, and maybe convert to Leviism, while the latter is [[ShiveringWithFear scared stiff]] and tries to pry herself from his hand on her shoulder. [[QuietCryForHelp She calls for Abel]], who just saw them, and suddenly [[CrazyJealousGuy got between them and split them apart]]!
-->'''Abel (narrating)''': It was kind of irritating to watch.
* DontTouchItYouIdiot: Augen and Sophia stops Kamla, after the latter attempts to stop Abel as he prepares an "[[SignatureMove Abel Ball]]" spell. The reason Kamla tried that, was when he feared the possibility of Abel losing control of the spell, after hearing Sophia's [[ExpoSpeak explaining what he's doing]]:
-->'''Sophia''':“I think that would wipe out all of us at …….” \\
'''Kamla''': “No, stop! Stop that sorcery!” \\
'''Augen''': “C-calm down, Kamla! If you touch brother now, he’ll lose his balance!” \\
'''Abel (Narrating)''': What Sophia said was wrong. To be precise, [[PersonOfMassDestruction if it were to go out of control, this entire mountain would disappear cleanly]].
* EliteMook: [[spoiler: These three were handpicked by Nelgliffe himself, and are acquainted with him, longer than Chloe. They excels at combat, espionage and stealth]].
* {{Fangirl}}: Sophia behaves like this to Abel, and shows it when she went MotorMouth on him when he 'showed interest' in Riveras Kingdom and Levi religion. Both Augen and Kamla pulled her away from Abel when they saw him becoming uncomfortable while she tries to reach him with her hand, and [[ClingyJealousGirl Mea]] pulled Abel away from her, telling him that [[TheMole she might be part of Chloe's group]]. [[spoiler: Given what [[EvilAllAlong she and her teammates are]], it might be either VillainsWantsHeroes or her [[HoneyTrap trying to lure him in to drop his guard]]]].
* KickTheDog: On their return to Palgas village, Kamla shoves a Levi's follower from the village into a mud puddle, just because he asked if they succeeded in gathering ingredients for the elixirs, because his sick wife is nearing her limit. When Mea gets upset for this, Sophia justifies that as they must report to Nelgliffe as soon as possible.
* MagiBabble: Sophia makes the mistake of asking Abel how his spell "Abel Ball" works, and finds herself receving a WallOfText worth of explanation, temporary reducing her into an EmptyShell that answers only: "…… Yes, I understand".
* MinionShipping: Augen tells Abel that Kamla and Sophia are [[SecretRelationship seeing each other]], and wants him to keep it a secret because they're both popular with Levi's followers. [[spoiler: [[AmbiguousSituation That or he's trying to hide why they ran off]] to think of a way to kill Abel]].
* MotorMouth: When Abel asked for information about the Riveras Kingdom, [[PsychoSupporter Sophia went and tried to sell him the Levi religion]] hoping to get him to convert on the spot:
-->'''Sophia''': “Abel-san is…… helping us to save the people of [[IWasJustPassingThrough this village that just happened to stop by]], right? It’s not something you can do very often, which I think is very great thing to do! I would say I’m in the same position…… but [[BlindObedience if I hadn’t been led by Nelgliffe-sama]], I might not have come here even if I had known about the village’s predicament…… That’s why I have so much respect for Abel-san! So that …… is one of the aspects of my candidacy as its coterie this time. I’m a little embarrassed to say this, but …… it would be great to be able to pray to Levi-sama with such an Abel-san, and I think it would be a great thing, I, I……” \\
'''Abel (narrating)''': [[OhCrap Oh no]], [[AbhorrentAdmirer this girl, she’s super scary]]. What, [[ThisIsGonnaSuck I’m gonna sit with this girl the whole time until we complete the objective?]]
* NoHonorAmongThieves: [[spoiler: Desperate to impede the hunting mission, Augen tries to destroy the supply of Live Foggs in the night, but is instead viciously attacked by a [[AttackDrone guard totem]] Abel set [[ProperlyParanoid just in case]]. The rest awaken to the racket, and Augen eyes Abel with [[DeathGlare bloodshot eyes]] and mallet in his hands. As Kamla and Sophia resolve and ready themselves to aid Augen, [[InspectorOblivious Abel]] accuses Augen for being TheMole trying to sabotage them! [[StunnedSilence Kamla and Sophia look at each other]] for a moment, [[CavalryBetrayal change their resolve, and point their weapons]] at [[FallGuy Augen]], and knock him out! When they returned to Palgas village, he was [[CagedInsideAMonster imprisoned inside a big totem]]]].
* PowerTrio:
** TheBigGuy: [[BigFun Augen]], with his BaldHeadOfToughness and StoutStrength, [[DropTheHammer armed with a big wooden mallet]]. [[spoiler: But in reality he's TheBrute]].
** BowAndSwordInAccord: [[TheCharmer Kamla]], with his AloofAlly attitude and OnlySaneMan position. [[spoiler: Who Nelgliffe uses to [[TrickedToDeath trick Abel into thinking]] that [[HopeSpot the former will save him from the Devil Trial in the last minute]]]].
** WhiteMage: [[ShrinkingViolet Sophia]] fills the role in the hunt for Live Foggs, warning of many demons that uses toxins in the mountain. [[spoiler: Also doubles as a DeadlyDoctor]].
* ProfessionalKiller: [[spoiler: Each one of them! They were ordered to kill Abel and Mea, should the former shows any sign that [[SpannerInTheWork he might becomes a concern]] to Nelgliffe. From what Chloe heard about them: It won't matter if Abel was proficient in magic if they took him by surprise, and [[WouldHurtAChild they wouldn't hesitate when they do kill him]], and they'll be perfectly calm about it!]]. [[spoiler: Unfortunately for them [[AssassinOutclassin however]]..]]
* StunnedSilence: The three sport this expression, after seeing Abel summons more than a hundred Live Foggs that were hiding, using Hamelin's [[EnemySummoner ability to call monsters]], and calls the three to help him hunt them.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: [[spoiler: The three of them begin acting shifty and suspicious, after Abel [[CurbStompBattle defeats Dantalion]], [[ImpossibleTask manages to find Liv Foggs]], creates [[TrackingSpell a way to track Liv Foggs locations]], resulting in hunting a lot to create enough elixirs to cure the entire village. They beg him to stop or slowdown, but they end up letting him hunt more, foiling the true mission they were sent for. Realizing they have no other choice, they decide to kill him]].
* TrickArrow: Kamla, when he faced Dantalion, he shot an arrow from his crossbow. The arrow, made from special material that increases elasticity with magic, was inscribed with a magic formula.. for [[StuffBlowingUp explosive magic]]. Unfortunately, Dantalion [[AttackReflector reflected it back at him]] and the [[OhCrap arrow struck his foot and was going to explode]]. Fortunately, Abel breaks the arrow with his magic, disabling it.

They even take it to extreme levels [[spoiler: when they arrests Abel for as part of a FrameUp, setting a [[TrialByOrdeal Devil Trial]] for him with [[KangarooCourt without a proper trial]]]].
* FromNobodyToNightmare: They just came to help the citizens of Palgas village, and turned the Kudor church there into a sickbay for treating them. But as number of sick people kept increasing, they turned the church into a Levi church for [[HealItWithWater his healing blessing]], and began tearing down buildings to build more churches of Levi to house more citizens for treatments. The followers kept increasing, [[TakingOverTheTown and soon the village fell into their clutches]].
%%* HeelRealization:
* {{Hypocrite}}: They deflect any of Abel attempts to point out how [[KangarooCourt one-sided the Devil Trial is on him]], by accusing him of insulting their religion and implying that Chloe is abusing the trial, when they are using the trial to kill him.
-->'''Levi's follower 1''': “Y-, you rude bastard! It is in principle to do this with holy fire, with the help of Levi-sama, you know! And of the people, you’re saying that [[CorruptCop Chloe]]-sama will break it!”\\
'''Levi's follower 2''': “[[BlatantLies She would never do such a shameless thing]]! That’s enough with the insults!”
* MiscarriageOfJustice: Invoked. Chloe initiates the Devil Trial by stating that there were eyewitnesses seeing a demon using chantless magic, and pinning it on Abel. [[spoiler: Said eyewitnesses are Levi's followers working for Nelgliffe and Chloe]].
* NotWhatISignedOnFor: [[spoiler: Once the Levi's "sacred flame" burned Chloe, the crowd was shocked and frozen on disbelief to what they're seeing. And when Nelgliffe ordered Chloe's execution, the protests and accusations increased in volume but he didn't care. But then they began shouting at Nelgliffe and what he's about to do, when he began summoning Levi's spear, and then his whole arm]]:
-->[[spoiler: “It’s not true, is it? Nelgliffe-sama, please explain yourself……. Ple-, please.” \\
“Ne-, Nelgliffe-sama! We have not heard that much! What the hell is going on ……” \\
From here and there, followers screamed and voiced their disappointment. But Nelgliffe did not show any sentiment or reaction to them either]].

* MasterActor: [[spoiler: One would be forgiven for calling out Abel for holding the IdiotBall throughout his story arc, as Nelgliffe pulls off the GoodShepherd image quite well, only the story confirms his true colors when it leads to his side-chapters. He spills TearsOfJoy after a follower thanks him for curing her husband, he showers Abel with praise as he sees him examining a patient, he gets BlueWithShock when Abel tells him the disease demon is still alive, to name a few moments]].
* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler: A particularly nasty one]]:
** [[spoiler: As Chloe puts it, he is good at [[MetaphoricallyTrue weaving truth into what he wants and let his gullible victims fill in the gaps]] with what he wants them to believe. If you lie or cheat, [[LiarRevealed you'll fall somewhere]]. If you hide your identity, you'll lose trust. And what better place to openly reveal your past than a rural area in the boarders?]]
** [[spoiler: His revealing the ingredients of the elixir, Livglass, to Abel is of benefit to him, whether he obtains it or not. If he does obtain it, [[WithholdingTheCure they'll just keep it in their storage and use their old diluted one]] to temporary cure the villagers, making them aware of it to increase their dependency, and make Abel commit to the village to make him a FolkHero. If he doesn't obtain it, they'll comfort the villagers.. '''AFTER''' they are done humiliating Abel for his failure, to [[BreakTheHaughty shatter his confidence]] and [[EmptyShell destroy his grip on the world]]. And to top it all off, the [[ObfuscatingStupidity three friendly Levi followers]] sent with him on the hunting trip.. are actually ProfessionalKillers ordered to [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident kill him and Mea]], if he proves TooPowerfulToLive for them. Sheesh]]...
** [[spoiler: When that didn't work, and instead ended with [[GoneHorriblyWrong Abel bringing enough Live Foggs to cure the entire village]] and [[OpenSecret told the village about it]], he [[WouldHurtAChild decides to dispose of Abel]]. He had his demon cause a fire in the main Levi church, where the Live Fogg was stored, then had Chloe and some of his men [[FrameUp accuse Abel]] of stealing then destroying the Live Foggs, injuring Nelgliffe, [[KangarooCourt and insist that he did it and refuse any attempt to defend himself]]. Chloe then accuses him for being a demon and initiate a [[TrialByOrdeal Devil Trial]], daring him to take it if he want to [[OnlyGoodPeopleMayPass prove his innocence]]. When Abel thought of [[ScrewThisIAmOuttaHere running away from the village]], he runs into Kamla, who secretly tells him that Nelgliffe woke up, and is planning to [[LastMinuteReprieve stop Chloe during the Devil Trial]] and save him, making Abel [[SelfRestraint comply with his arrest]]. What Abel doesn't know is, that the [[BurnTheWitch Devil Trial is rigged to kill whoever they accuse]], and Nelgliffe [[ILied lied]], because he'll be [[EvilIsPetty watching Abel's execution from a safe distance]]. And if [[XantosGambit that didn't work]]... He'll [[DivineIntervention summon the weapon of the god Levi, Levi's Spear]] to destroy Abel, the village and its Levi's followers [[SoLongSuckers and run away]]]].
* NearVillainVictory: He appears, alive and well, after Chloe's sham of a Devil's Trial is foiled, [[spoiler: only to take over the trial himself, [[SilenceYouFool silences the protesting crowd]] as he [[HangingJudge demands to continue with Abel's trial]], disregards the paper evidence, has a Levi follower restrain Mea, and orders Chloe to proceed with burning Abel with the fire. Unfortunately for him, [[LetsGetDangerous Abel wasn't as helpless as he thought he'd be]]]].
-->[[spoiler:'''Nelgliffe''': “Silence. We are in the presence of Levi-sama. Without so much noise, everything will be revealed before his mind’s eye. The pursuit of Chloe can be done afterwards. The Devil’s Trial is sacred, so there is no reason to make Levi-sama wait for nothing.”]]
* OhCrap: [[spoiler: When he sees Abel BreakingTheBonds by using his magic, despite him wearing his [[SupernormalBindings Arogua stone shackles]]. Abel notes that at that moment, [[BreakTheHaughty Nelgliffe's expression finally changed]]]].
* ThisPageWillSelfDestruct: He has Kamla hands Abel the ingredints and recipe for Livglass, but the paper is empty! After Abel let his magic flow through it, [[InvisibleWriting the writing appear on the paper]], but as he began reading it, the paper began to degrade and crumble. Abel stops it with a "Maintain" spell, noting that there are a lot of magic mechanisms implemented to destroy the paper.
* PragmaticVillainy:
** [[spoiler: After Abel over-fishes the Live Fogg creatures for the the elixir, he sets on killing Abel in a way he'll be outed as a demon through the [[TrialByOrdeal Devil Trial]]. When Chloe asks why since he blindly trusts Nelgliffe and [[UnwittingPawn the best tool to be used]], he answers:]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Nelgliffe''': “I can already see the collapse of the system. The best tool is one that can be used to kill at any time. [[ShootTheDangerousMinion We can’t sit on this slender rope any longer.]]”]]
** [[spoiler: He [[FrameUp frames Abel for injuring him and destroying the Live Fogg supply]], has [[PersonalMinion Chloe]] arrests him on the suspicion of being a demon, [[KangarooCourt to instigate a Devil Trial]], and direct the citizens' hatred to Abel, while he keeps WithholdingTheCure]].
* PrepareToDie: [[spoiler: As he prepares to summon [[BigFreakingSword Levi's spear]] to destroy Palgas village]]:
-->[[spoiler: '''Nelgliffe''': “Shudder, and praise forever! The power of the great spear, half of Levi-sama’s body! Let it be your last honor to decay before its power!”]]
* QuarantineWithExtremePrejudice: Because of the disease spreading and not showing any signs of stopping, he had the Levi followers prevents and advise the citizens from leaving the village, least they spread the disease. [[spoiler: It's a lie, as he is controlling the demon spreading the disease, and this is his excuse to [[ImpededCommunication prevent anyone from sending a message asking for help]]]].
* SelfHarm: [[spoiler: When he was a child, Nelgliffe was trained by Levi's church [[EmotionSuppression to keep his emotions from being expressed]]. When he couldn't control them anymore, he would rub his palms with his thumbs to distract himself. The last time it happened when he was ten years old. After his scheme to kill Abel failed, [[RageBreakingPoint he tore both skin and flesh off the palm of one of his hands]] to the point he drew blood, while he was shaking Abel's hand with the other and [[StepfordSmiler cheerfully smiling]]]].
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: [[spoiler: He gives this answer to Chloe, after she suffers a HeroicBSOD from learning the [[AwfulTruth truth behind the Devil Trial]]. Given how much of a MasterActor he is, it was probably just an [[FalseInnocenceTrick act to justify his corruption]] and to [[CorruptTheCutie have her comply out of sympathy]]:]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Nelgliffe''': “…… I don’t like this kind of move either. I was outraged the first time I was informed, and [[WithUsOrAgainstUs I was even thrown in jail for screaming that it was wrong]]. However, [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMean the world does not revolve around cleanliness]] …… and to prevent the resurrection of the [[SealedGoodInACan Great Evil God Kudol]], [[TautologicalTemplar we must harden our hearts]]. Chloe …… since it’s you who knows of [[TrappedInVillainy my suffering]], I thought you would understand so I told you.”]]
* VillainsWantMercy: [[spoiler: He tries it twice]]:
** [[spoiler: When Abel was about to [[ATasteOfHisOwnMedicine throw the "sacred fire" torch at him]]]]:
-->[[spoiler: '''Nelgliffe''': “Wa-, wait a minute, Abel-dono! [[BlatantLies You are mistaken! I’m just ……]]” \\
'''Abel''': “[[DumbassNoMore I’m not going to fall for that anymore]]! Making fun of people so much!”]]
** [[spoiler: When he's surrounded by the Levi followers and villagers [[BadBoss who he just tried to kill]] using Levi. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown They beat him up with rocks and wooden sticks]]]]:
-->[[spoiler: '''Nelgliffe''': “W-wait! No! I’ve been duped. It’s true! I, I’m ……! I understand! I’m going to tell you all about it! So put your arms down, please!”]]
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: [[spoiler: When Kamla suggests using poison to kill Abel, Nelgliffe shoots the idea down, reasoning that Abel's [[BattleAura high frequency magic will most likely detect it]], causing him to vomit it out or [[NoSell destroy the poison inside his body]]]].
* WolfInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: He's the GoodShepherd of Levi's church, who'll lead you with a smile, a tear and a praise to your execution, and no one will suspect him as he gives a few diluted elixirs to a village, while holding a storage of it to himself, and keep its citizens dependent on him, because of how much of a MasterActor he is]].
-->[[spoiler:'''Abel (narrating)''': Then it finally dawned on me. From the first time we met …… no, before we met, from the first time I got tangled up with the out-of-character Levi Church, until this moment, that [[OhCrap I’ve been dancing on the hand of this guy from the start]]]].
* YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler: Subverted. When Chloe calls for the punishment of [[ProfessionalKiller Augen, Kamla and Sophia]] for their failure to kill Abel, he tells her there is no need for it, as it is his fault for misjudging the situation]].
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: Contemplates getting rid of Chloe when [[EvilMentor he feels]] she's [[EvenEvilHasStandards still not comfortable with his cruel and corrupt methods]], but also [[BlindObedience more deluded about him than others]]. He later turns on her to try to save his own hide]].

Nelgliffe's disciple and a priestess of Levi faith. She is always by Nelgliffe's side, showing hostility to Abel, Mea and Elia during their stay in Palgas village, and constantly chide Nelgliffe for showing hospitality and gratitude to Abel.
----
Put Tropes here
* AdaptationDyeJob: Has blonde hair in the webnovel, and blue hair in the light novel.
* APupilOfMineUntilSheTurnedToEvil: Nelgliffe implies this is why Chloe is hostile to Abel, and that she's responsible for impeding the creation of Livglass. [[spoiler: He's lying. He's using [[RedHerring Chloe to distract Abel]] from his own plans to destroy him when he least suspects it]].
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: [[spoiler: Threw herself in the way of a falling lit torch with a fire that should've burned a human to death. Said fire caught in her priestess robes, spread quickly as she futilely rolled on the ground, then was doused with water. All that just got her clothes singed and torn [[https://imgur.com/a/bhOz9Yd]] here]].
* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler: When [[EvilMentor Nelgliffe]] accused her of [[FrameUp being a devil after the 'sacred fire' burned her]], and ordered four Levi followers to execute her, she was astonished]].
* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: She agrees to [[SinisterMinister Nelgliffe]]'s ways of [[EngineeredHeroics trickery]] and [[WithholdingTheCure keeping the village suffering from the disease]] to convert the citizens to Leviism, to an extent. But [[WouldntHurtAChild she's shown to be upset on the thought of resorting to kill two teenagers]], even knowing they are spies. Yet she gets angry at Kamla and Sophia for failing to kill them. She also strongly disagree on killing Abel through a Devil Trial, [[TheFettered calling it a defilement to a sacred ritual]], until Nelgliffe tells her [[PublicExecution the truth]]. Subverted as she [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope agrees to frame up Abel and hold the trial herself]]]].
* HeadSmackTheIdiot: She clubbed one of Levi's followers with her "stupidly large staff" on the head, when he tried justifying accosting Abel, Mea and Elia when they entered Palgas village, to Nelgliffe. [[HighPressureBlood Despite the blood flying]], he just [[HardHead lost consciousness]], and was carried away by his comrades.
* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: When she learns the [[AwfulTruth truth]] behind Levi church's [[TrialByOrdeal Devil Trial]] from [[SinisterMinister Nelgliffe]], she slumps on the floor as she tries to process what she just heard]]].
* HiddenHeartOfGold: [[InformedAttribute According to Sophia]].
* KnightTemplar: [[spoiler: She completely believes that Levi church and their god are justified in their conquest of the Dinrat Kingdom, to prevent the 'Evil' [[BigGood Goddess Kudor]] from awakening and destroying their god again, no matter how dirty their hands will get. That's until she learns what [[EvilMentor Nelgliffe]] and [[GodIsEvil Levi]] are really like]].
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: Big time. She's outed for [[LiarRevealed cheating the Devil's Trial in front of a crowd of villagers and Levi followers]], the fake 'sacred fire' she wanted to kill Abel with torched her instead, her [[EvilMentor mentor]] and father figure [[DirtyCoward turns on her to save his own skin]] and [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness order her execution]], then he summons their god to [[BadBoss kill her and everyone there]] just to dispose of Abel, [[PunchOutAGod who then defeats said god]] after he proves to be a major EvilGod. Then she's arrested along with her mentor and the followers, [[KnowWhenToFoldEm who aren't resisting arrest, let alone bother to]]]].
* MagicStaff: Carries a ridiculously large gold staff. Abel wonders if she's physically stronger than him despite her size.
* OlderThanSheLooks: Due to her being half-Noir.
-->'''Chloe''': “That’s fine! …… Jeez. I’ll admit that my growth is a little slow because of the blood, but on the inside, I’m already an adult. Please don’t treat me like a child.”
* ParentalAbandonment: Orphaned in one of the many inter-wars between the Levi church factions. She was raised in a churchyard that doubled as an orphanage, that [[TheMentor Nelgliffe]] was working in as a priest.
* PointyEars: In the webnovel, Abel notes that her ears are 'a little longer than a Norcs''. Which could mean she's a [[MageSpecies Noir]], or [[HalfHumanHybrid half-Noir]].
* RedHerring: [[spoiler:[[ExploitedTrope Exploited]] by [[ManipulativeBastard Nelgliffe]]. Thanks to Chloe's insistence on attacking Abel and showing him hostility, it was made easy for Nelgliffe to win his trust. He exploits it even more, by making Abel believes that Chloe has her own faction intent on destroying him, to keep himself BeneathSuspicion]].
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: When [[SpannerInTheWork Mea]] barges in on the trial, carrying the Livglass recipe paper that Abel got from Nelgliffe, and [[ClearTheirName explains how Abel got it, proving his innocence]]. Chloe started swearing and denying ever seeing that paper, and [[PaperDestructionOfAnger tears it from Mea's hand]], only to scatter into pieces for the church members to collect and figure things out, [[LiarRevealed making them realize that something is indeed off with trial]]. Surrounded by people's questioning looks, she [[KneeFoldFallOfDefeat falls on her knees]], her face went [[ColorFailure pale like a Marren]] as Abel puts it, [[DeepBreathRevealsTension hyperventilates]], and [[TearsOfFear tears start pouring from her eyes]]. [[SympathyForTheDevil Abel actually felt sorry for her]]]].
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: Chloe disappears from the story after Palgas Village is freed from Levi Church. But it's implied that she was arrested along with the [[KnowWhenToFoldEm Levi followers who surrendered to the villagers]] after the stunt with Nelgliffe and Levi, and were taken to the royal capital for questioning]].
* WomanOnFire: [[spoiler: After jumping in front of Nelgliffe, knocking off the torch that Able threw at him with her staff, the fire catches on her priestess robes. The fire quickly spreads on her clothes and body, shocking Levi followers as they watch the 'sacred flame' burning their priestess, as she tries to roll on the ground to smother the flame. When [[UngratefulBastard Nelgliffe]] order the followers to execute Chloe with water spears, [[SaveTheVillain Abel manipulates their magic circles to instead douse the flames with water]]]].

[[folder:Augen, Kamla and Sophia]]
-->'''Nelgliffe''': “I’d like to introduce you these three as your companions in the search for Live Fogg…… How about that? All three of them are still young, but…… they have experience as adventurers, and we decided that they are suitable for the search for Live Fogg. They are motivated and have been under my direct supervision for a long time, so they are three trustworthy people.”
Three followers of the Levi faith recommended by Nelgliffe to accompany Abel and Mea on their journey to hunt for Live Foggs in a mountain, to create enough Liveglass elixirs to cure the sick people of Palgas village.
----
* AssassinOutclassin: [[spoiler: Their attempts to kill Abel ended up being foiled by him, with him [[TheFool non the wiser to even a hint of the attempt]]]]:
** [[spoiler: Augen tried offing him with a LookBehindYou while they're attacked by a monster, only for Abel to use [[FlyingSword Lapides Sword]] to destroy [[BadassBack what could be behind him]], without turning around]].
** [[spoiler: [[DeadlyDoctor Sophia]] tries to kill Abel by [[BloodMagic manipulating the water in his body]], disgused as a magic techinque to heal his sour muscles. Kamla stops her, fearing for her life should [[MuggingTheMonster Abel notice and retaliate]]]].
* TheCharmer: Kamla attempts sweet-talking Mea into going to live in the Riveras Kingdom, and maybe convert to Leviism, while the latter is [[ShiveringWithFear scared stiff]] and tries to pry herself from his hand on her shoulder. [[QuietCryForHelp She calls for Abel]], who just saw them, and suddenly [[CrazyJealousGuy got between them and split them apart]]!
-->'''Abel (narrating)''': It was kind of irritating to watch.
* DontTouchItYouIdiot: Augen and Sophia stops Kamla, after the latter attempts to stop Abel as he prepares an "[[SignatureMove Abel Ball]]" spell. The reason Kamla tried that, was when he feared the possibility of Abel losing control of the spell, after hearing Sophia's [[ExpoSpeak explaining what he's doing]]:
-->'''Sophia''':“I think that would wipe out all of us at …….” \\
'''Kamla''': “No, stop! Stop that sorcery!” \\
'''Augen''': “C-calm down, Kamla! If you touch brother now, he’ll lose his balance!” \\
'''Abel (Narrating)''': What Sophia said was wrong. To be precise, [[PersonOfMassDestruction if it were to go out of control, this entire mountain would disappear cleanly]].
* EliteMook: [[spoiler: These three were handpicked by Nelgliffe himself, and are acquainted with him, longer than Chloe. They excels at combat, espionage and stealth]].
* {{Fangirl}}: Sophia behaves like this to Abel, and shows it when she went MotorMouth on him when he 'showed interest' in Riveras Kingdom and Levi religion. Both Augen and Kamla pulled her away from Abel when they saw him becoming uncomfortable while she tries to reach him with her hand, and [[ClingyJealousGirl Mea]] pulled Abel away from her, telling him that [[TheMole she might be part of Chloe's group]]. [[spoiler: Given what [[EvilAllAlong she and her teammates are]], it might be either VillainsWantsHeroes or her [[HoneyTrap trying to lure him in to drop his guard]]]].
* KickTheDog: On their return to Palgas village, Kamla shoves a Levi's follower from the village into a mud puddle, just because he asked if they succeeded in gathering ingredients for the elixirs, because his sick wife is nearing her limit. When Mea gets upset for this, Sophia justifies that as they must report to Nelgliffe as soon as possible.
* MagiBabble: Sophia makes the mistake of asking Abel how his spell "Abel Ball" works, and finds herself receving a WallOfText worth of explanation, temporary reducing her into an EmptyShell that answers only: "…… Yes, I understand".
* MinionShipping: Augen tells Abel that Kamla and Sophia are [[SecretRelationship seeing each other]], and wants him to keep it a secret because they're both popular with Levi's followers. [[spoiler: [[AmbiguousSituation That or he's trying to hide why they ran off]] to think of a way to kill Abel]].
* MotorMouth: When Abel asked for information about the Riveras Kingdom, [[PsychoSupporter Sophia went and tried to sell him the Levi religion]] hoping to get him to convert on the spot:
-->'''Sophia''': “Abel-san is…… helping us to save the people of [[IWasJustPassingThrough this village that just happened to stop by]], right? It’s not something you can do very often, which I think is very great thing to do! I would say I’m in the same position…… but [[BlindObedience if I hadn’t been led by Nelgliffe-sama]], I might not have come here even if I had known about the village’s predicament…… That’s why I have so much respect for Abel-san! So that …… is one of the aspects of my candidacy as its coterie this time. I’m a little embarrassed to say this, but …… it would be great to be able to pray to Levi-sama with such an Abel-san, and I think it would be a great thing, I, I……” \\
'''Abel (narrating)''': [[OhCrap Oh no]], [[AbhorrentAdmirer this girl, she’s super scary]]. What, [[ThisIsGonnaSuck I’m gonna sit with this girl the whole time until we complete the objective?]]
* NoHonorAmongThieves: [[spoiler: Desperate to impede the hunting mission, Augen tries to destroy the supply of Live Foggs in the night, but is instead viciously attacked by a [[AttackDrone guard totem]] Abel set [[ProperlyParanoid just in case]]. The rest awaken to the racket, and Augen eyes Abel with [[DeathGlare bloodshot eyes]] and mallet in his hands. As Kamla and Sophia resolve and ready themselves to aid Augen, [[InspectorOblivious Abel]] accuses Augen for being TheMole trying to sabotage them! [[StunnedSilence Kamla and Sophia look at each other]] for a moment, [[CavalryBetrayal change their resolve, and point their weapons]] at [[FallGuy Augen]], and knock him out! When they returned to Palgas village, he was [[CagedInsideAMonster imprisoned inside a big totem]]]].
* PowerTrio:
** TheBigGuy: [[BigFun Augen]], with his BaldHeadOfToughness and StoutStrength, [[DropTheHammer armed with a big wooden mallet]]. [[spoiler: But in reality he's TheBrute]].
** BowAndSwordInAccord: [[TheCharmer Kamla]], with his AloofAlly attitude and OnlySaneMan position. [[spoiler: Who Nelgliffe uses to [[TrickedToDeath trick Abel into thinking]] that [[HopeSpot the former will save him from the Devil Trial in the last minute]]]].
** WhiteMage: [[ShrinkingViolet Sophia]] fills the role in the hunt for Live Foggs, warning of many demons that uses toxins in the mountain. [[spoiler: Also doubles as a DeadlyDoctor]].
* ProfessionalKiller: [[spoiler: Each one of them! They were ordered to kill Abel and Mea, should the former shows any sign that [[SpannerInTheWork he might becomes a concern]] to Nelgliffe. From what Chloe heard about them: It won't matter if Abel was proficient in magic if they took him by surprise, and [[WouldHurtAChild they wouldn't hesitate when they do kill him]], and they'll be perfectly calm about it!]]. [[spoiler: Unfortunately for them [[AssassinOutclassin however]]..]]
* StunnedSilence: The three sport this expression, after seeing Abel summons more than a hundred Live Foggs that were hiding, using Hamelin's [[EnemySummoner ability to call monsters]], and calls the three to help him hunt them.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: [[spoiler: The three of them begin acting shifty and suspicious, after Abel [[CurbStompBattle defeats Dantalion]], [[ImpossibleTask manages to find Liv Foggs]], creates [[TrackingSpell a way to track Liv Foggs locations]], resulting in hunting a lot to create enough elixirs to cure the entire village. They beg him to stop or slowdown, but they end up letting him hunt more, foiling the true mission they were sent for. Realizing they have no other choice, they decide to kill him]].
* TrickArrow: Kamla, when he faced Dantalion, he shot an arrow from his crossbow. The arrow, made from special material that increases elasticity with magic, was inscribed with a magic formula.. for [[StuffBlowingUp explosive magic]]. Unfortunately, Dantalion [[AttackReflector reflected it back at him]] and the [[OhCrap arrow struck his foot and was going to explode]]. Fortunately, Abel breaks the arrow with his magic, disabling it.

[[folder:Levi's Followers in Palgas Village]]
Members of Levi's church brought from the Riveras Kingdom by Nelgliffe. They were tasked with healing the sick in Palgas village after Nelgliffe defeated the demon spreading the disease.
----
* ChurchPolice: They patrol the village, all dressed in the [[PuttingOnTheReich standard Levi blue garb]], who can [[PoliceBrutality gang up on, grab, surround and yell]] at any stranger entering the village, for [[AbominationAccusationAttack being a "Kudor-worshiping infidel"]]. They even take it to extreme levels [[spoiler: when they arrests Abel for as part of a FrameUp, setting a [[TrialByOrdeal Devil Trial]] for him with [[KangarooCourt without a proper trial]]]].
* FromNobodyToNightmare: They just came to help the citizens of Palgas village, and turned the Kudor church there into a sickbay for treating them. But as number of sick people kept increasing, they turned the church into a Levi church for [[HealItWithWater his healing blessing]], and began tearing down buildings to build more churches of Levi to house more citizens for treatments. The followers kept increasing, [[TakingOverTheTown and soon the village fell into their clutches]].
%%* HeelRealization:
* {{Hypocrite}}: They deflect any of Abel attempts to point out how [[KangarooCourt one-sided the Devil Trial is on him]], by accusing him of insulting their religion and implying that Chloe is abusing the trial, when they are using the trial to kill him.
-->'''Levi's follower 1''': “Y-, you rude bastard! It is in principle to do this with holy fire, with the help of Levi-sama, you know! And of the people, you’re saying that [[CorruptCop Chloe]]-sama will break it!”\\
'''Levi's follower 2''': “[[BlatantLies She would never do such a shameless thing]]! That’s enough with the insults!”
* MiscarriageOfJustice: Invoked. Chloe initiates the Devil Trial by stating that there were eyewitnesses seeing a demon using chantless magic, and pinning it on Abel. [[spoiler: Said eyewitnesses are Levi's followers working for Nelgliffe and Chloe]].
* NotWhatISignedOnFor: [[spoiler: Once the Levi's "sacred flame" burned Chloe, the crowd was shocked and frozen on disbelief to what they're seeing. And when Nelgliffe ordered Chloe's execution, the protests and accusations increased in volume but he didn't care. But then they began shouting at Nelgliffe and what he's about to do, when he began summoning Levi's spear, and then his whole arm]]:
-->[[spoiler: “It’s not true, is it? Nelgliffe-sama, please explain yourself……. Ple-, please.” \\
“Ne-, Nelgliffe-sama! We have not heard that much! What the hell is going on ……” \\
From here and there, followers screamed and voiced their disappointment. But Nelgliffe did not show any sentiment or reaction to them either]].

Put Tropes here
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: She and her father got the stigma of the villagers for refusing the free care of Levi's church from the disease, and their treatment of her took its tool on her mental health. Even her father's servants left the mansion to not lose the benefits offered or get the same treatment.
* BeautifulAllAlong: Abel notes that her face and complexion both became healthy after her father was cured from the disease, and her red hair became brighter than it was.

* ProperlyParanoid: He refused treatment of the sickness in any of the Levi churches, calling them an attempt to convert him. [[spoiler: He was right]].
