The Skilled blacksmith, Father of the Demon King, Ceris/Celis Voldigoad(Past Life), Raizeo(former surname), Gardelahypt, the King of the Oblivion Sword (Self-Proclaimed) Gusta Voldigoad (グスタ・ヴォルディゴード, Gusuta Vorudigōdo?) is the father of the reincarnated Anos Voldigoad. His and Izabella's surname used to be Raizeo, but after moving to Dilhade, they changed it to Voldigoad after Anos was born, While Gusta has some demon blood in him, the scent of human blood is stronger. Therefore he is a human. Gusta used to be a chuunibyou when he was younger, a Japanese term used to describe kids who have delusions of having a hidden power or being someone important when they clearly are not. He went by the name of "Gardelahypt, the King of the Oblivion Sword", and thinks Anos is going through the same when he calls himself the "Demon King of Tyranny" though Anos ACTUALLY is the Demon King, While Gusta appears to be an ordinary, supportive blacksmith in the present era, he is revealed to be the reincarnation of Celis Voldigoad(sometimes spelled Ceris), Unlike Anos, Gusta and Izabella did not initially retain their past-life memories. This was due to Celis's final wish to the Goddess Militia: he asked her to erase Anos's memories of him (and his own potential for a full reincarnation) to prevent Anos from being consumed by a quest for revenge and rage against his killer, Graham. During the "Magic Bullet World Arc," Gusta eventually regains the Mauve Thunder Eyes, a signature power of Celis. However, even after obtaining this power, he primarily maintains his identity as Gusta rather than fully reverting to "Celis". The Magic Eye facture: The unique Magic Eyes of Ceris Voldigoad, which can project thunder that destroys possibilities. By using them, the user can negate various actions such a destroying the possibilities of someone moving to take action or destroy the possibilities of certain abilities, inhibiting their use. After removing the power of thunder from his Thunder Eyes of Mauve, Ceris Voldigoad's Magic Eyes turned into Magic Eyes of Mauve. Magic Eyes of Purple Destruction(Mauve): A inherented form of Magic Eyes to the Voldigoad bloodline that can erase the laws and concepts of gods, destroy divine weapons, and weaken gods' authorities. (universal laws and concepts). They are powerful enough to negate the effects of divine weapons, They are described as a "destructive purple" or "ash-purple" color (滅紫, messhi), representing a mix of purple and grey. In the Magical Age, Gusta, Ceris' reincarnation, would regain his signature Magic Eyes from his old acquaintance Elenesia, the previous Goddess of Creation. This version allows the user to project "thunder that destroys possibilities," effectively negating an opponent's future actions or preventing them from using certain abilities. The Thunder Sword: Gauddigemon, the Sword of a Thousand Bolts, It has the appearance of a serrated blade closely resembling thunder. The sword is infused with high magic power, purple lightning electrified with its cuts turning all slashed to ash. Gauddigemon is necessary to activate the thunder attribute destruction magic; Ravia Neold Galvarizen. Hidden Arts: • Tenth Hidden Art: Destruction Lightning Flash Blade (滅刃雷火, Metsujinraika?): Unleashes a slash that then electrifies the wound that the slash leaves behind, inflicting great damage to the slashed target, to the point it can destroy them with its power alone. Gusta acquired Ceris' sword, Gauddigemon (Sword of a Thousand Bolts), by retrieving it from his past life's grave with Anos' permission. After Ceris was defeated and killed by Graham 2,000 years ago, Graham took the sword, Gauddigemon. Anos later defeated Graham and decided to let the sword rest at his father's grave. In the present, Gusta (as the reincarnation of Ceris) was able to reclaim the sword, and it still recognized him as its original owner. Gusta now keeps the sword in his possession. History of Gusta Gusta works as a blacksmith with his wife Izabella, and they have a son named Anos. When Anos decided to attend the Demon King Academy, they moved with him to Dilhade. History of Celis/Ceris Voldigoad At some point, Ceris married Luna and fathered a child with her who carried the power of the Voldigoad bloodline. After wiping out the Hero Graham and his squad, Ceris led his Phantom Knights to the Tseilon village, where the rest of Graham's men were. Though he found humans torturing Luna, Ceris deduced that it was a trap and told the Phantom Knights to canvas their surroundings instead, much to his disciple Jeph's anger. His inaction would force their unborn child to protect Luna instead, but somehow Graham reappeared and fatally wounded her. Despite killing Graham again, Ceris was unable to save her, nor comfort her in her final moments. Luna herself understood this and told Jeph that it was fine, she was happy. Suspecting that Graham was not truly gone, Ceris began tracking down the rogue human and eventually found him. Even though the Phantom Knights were quickly eliminated, with the exception of the Jeph, their sacrifice allowed Ceris to ready his ultimate spell, Ravia Neold Galvarizen. However, Graham correctly identified Ceris' only weakness and took Jeph hostage, forcing him to cancel his spell and pierce Jeph's eye instead. This triggered his disciple's latent abilities, causing him to teleport away as Graham cut several of Ceris' limbs. Despite this, Ceris made a last stand against Graham and nearly killed him. The great lightning began burning away Graham's body as Ceris' own head went flying. He tried to use Ingall but was unable to cast any magic, so Graham quickly snatched his head and attached his own body, revitalizing it and finally becoming Ceris Voldigoad. After Graham teleported away, the Goddess of Creation Militia appeared and healed Ceris, including recreating his missing head. However, because most of his source was taken by Graham, Ceris could only exist for a short while with his consciousness alone. As a reward for fighting to create a peaceful world, Militia granted him one final wish, so he requested that she remove Anos' memories of him, as Anos was on the cusp of realizing Ceris' true identity and would be consumed by revenge if he were to find out his father was killed. As he revealed his true feelings for the first time, Ceris' source reached its limit and disappeared from the world. Though it was later reveals he was Recarnated as Gusta But doesn't retain any of his memories just like Izabella. is a well-built, fit man with brown hair, purple eyes, and a small scar over his right eye. As a dedicated blacksmith, he has a muscular frame and usually appears in simple, hardworking attire, reflecting his warm, compassionate, and family-oriented personality.

Despite being a humble blacksmith in his current life, he possesses a deep, unconditional love for his son, Anos. Deeply Compassionate: He is soft-hearted and places the well-being of his family above all else. Extremely Supportive: Unlike many who fear Anos’ power, Gusta treats him as a normal child, believing that even the strongest person needs a parent's love to grow. Comically Impulsive: He shares a trait with his wife, Izabella, of quickly jumping to conclusions—often humorously assuming any girl Anos brings home is his "bride". He finds comic joy in assuming any girl Anos brings home is a potential "bride" and often tries to create "alone time" for Anos and his female friends. Self-Sacrificing and Diligent: As a blacksmith, he is hardworking and even personally crafted a demon sword for Anos to support him in the Demon Sword Tournament. Open-Minded: Though shocked when his newborn son immediately grew into a boy and introduced himself, Gusta quickly accepted Anos as a "genius" and encouraged him to pursue his goals. Secret Heritage While he appears to be a simple human/low-tier demon, Gusta is actually the reincarnation of Celis Voldigoad, Anos’ father from 2,000 years ago. In his past life, he was a stoic, indifferent and dedicated leader who fought to end the war, contrasting with the more jovial and lighthearted demeanor he displays as Gusta. Despite his soft-hearted nature, he is fiercely protective and will stand his ground against those who threaten his wife or son, Though he was a warrior in his past life as Celis, as Gusta, he prefers a peaceful life of craftsmanship and family stability.
