| “ | “You’re talking about his black armor, Dragon Deification, right? Well, that’s the one I wanted to fight. If my body remembers the attacks from that, I’ll surpass even Balberith and Verrine.” | ” |

Personality[]
| “ | It’s fun to beat the fuck out of both the strong and the weak, you know. I have this thing called overwhelming violence since I was born. That’s why I love going on a rampage. | ” |
–Gressil to Tobio Ikuse[1] | ||
Gressil enjoys fighting strong opponents and causing damage to others in order to show his power. He is completely apathetic to human life, dismissing potential casualties as easily replaceable, and grew annoyed with Tobio for trying to lecture him about their value. After winning his matches in the Rating Game tournament, Gressil started to become more arrogant in order to prove his superiority, which made him far rougher than Balberith. Like Sonneillon, he has a childish temperament, and is quick to anger when struggling in a battle or subject to provocation.
History[]
Gressil was born in the Realm of the Dead, created by Hades with Lilith’s flesh in order to use him for his army in opposition to D×D. At some point, he joined Team Black Satan of Darkness Dragon King under the leadership of Zeno to participate in the Azazel Cup.
Powers & Abilities[]
Immense Demonic Power: A special case among the hundred thousand Devils created by Lilith, Gressil’s Demonic Power is above Satan-class and he has the potential to become a Super Devil.
- Resistance (耐性, Taisei): Gressil’s signature ability that vastly raised his resistance to anything he received damage from, primarily shown as an increase in durability against whatever he adapted to. Ddraig theorized Gressil might even be able to adapt to Penetrate if he received it a couple of times. During his fight with Tobio, it was heavily implied this functions by remembering the "signature" of his attacker's aura, as Tobio countered it through continuing to alter his blade's aura wavelength between strikes.[1]
Immense Strength: Gressil was able to defeat Ultimate-class Devils and several Low-class Gods in their Rating Games in the Azazel Cup. In True Volume 3, even with a limiter on, Gressil was able to fight on par with Issei Hyoudou in his Cardinal Crimson Promotion armor (a Satan-class combatant himself) and Akeno Himejima. Later, after releasing his limiter, he was capable of briefly holding his own against Tobio in his Abyss Side Balance Breaker, who noted that Gressil quickly became stronger the more he fought despite eventually overwhelming him.
Immense Durability: Aside from his Resistance, Gressil is incredibly durable on his own. Without becoming weakened, he could take several attacks from Issei in his Cardinal Crimson Promotion and even Akeno's Holy Lightning, which has properties lethal to Devils.
Immense Speed: Gressil was fast enough to keep up with Issei using his Crimson Armor and could also dodge several attacks from Tobio in his Abyss Side Balance Breaker. Despite this, Issei described him as not being particularly fast (albeit this was Gressil with a limiter on).
Master Hand-to-Hand Combatant: Despite lacking any proper training or experience, Gressil has shown to be a formidable combatant. Despite being a Power-type much like Issei and Xenovia Quarta, he's considered a genius as he was quickly able to adapt to and match Issei, an experienced hand-to-hand combatant, despite the latter initially outclassing Gressil due to his many openings.
Flight: Being a Devil, Gressil can fly using his devil wings,
Trivia[]
