Source:
Heretic God Euryale
User:
Issei Hyoudou
Alternative Name:
[War Trumpet]
Obtained in:
Chapter VIII
First Used in:
Chapter XII
Summary:
The Authority of Fear obtained from Euryale. Manifesting in the form of powerful soundwaves that override the fight or flight instinct of those who hear them, forcing its victims into a blind panic that causes them to run away. One could consider the 'screech' as a simple method of delivery for a fear curse, which can lead to all sorts of consequences depending on how susceptible to it the target is.
For example, those with heart conditions might suffer complications if the curse affects them.
Another would be the unique interaction it has with those with a weakness towards divine powers. Not only is the fear curse more acutely felt, it can lead to full body paralysis, completely immobilizing the targets. The effect might last anywhere from minutes to hours, with after effects akin to a strong cold. This Authority, however, is not one meant to cause damage but to avert conflict by scaring away or intimidating the foe.
The curse can also be transmitted through magical communication, as evidenced by its effects taking hold of a devil who'd been monitoring the Authority's user through a spell. However, there appears to be a decrease in effectiveness through this transmission.
Chants:
Chapter XII: 'Your joy rings like chimes. Your sadness echoes like a bell. Your song washes over the sea like foam. Like gathering clouds, swirling in the heavens, only to rumble and darken. Your rage… your grief… roars like thunder!'
Chapter XVI: "Fury of the dead, souls in Hades, prisoners of Tartarus, those who yet remain, give voice to your rage, for you are the fury of Heaven and Hell given form!"
