Meld Loggins

Meld Loggins (メルド・ロギンス) is a character from the "Arifureta Shokugyō de Sekai Saikyō" series.

He is the Knight Commander of the Heiligh Kingdom. He was responsible for overseeing the training of the summoned heroes from the other world.

Appearance
Meld is a well-built man with short spiky hair and a short beard.

He has a small scar on the left side of his chine.

Personality
Meld is charismatic, level-headed, and brave. He is not fond of formalities and likes to be casual in his interactions. He has earned the respect of all the students and residents of the kingdom. As time passes, Meld becomes conflicted over his duty to his kingdom, and looking after the well-being of the summoned heroes.

Like all members of the kingdom, Meld is a loyal follower of the god Ehit.

Meld has great instincts, as he is able to sense that something is wrong in the kingdom when people, including the king, begin to act strange (this due to Eri Nakamura controlling them like puppets after killing them). This would be his downfall as Ehit has his Apostle Noint kill him for being too suspicious.

Relationships

 * Kouki Amanogawa - Meld pays special attention to Kouki due to the later's vocation of "Hero". He would begrudgingly prioritize his safety over the safety of the other students.
 * Hajime Nagumo - Meld is one of the few people that Hajime respects since being summoned to Tortus. Meld feels guilty for failing to protect Haime from the Behemoth in the Great Orcus Labyrinth. When he learns that Hajime had not only survived but also saved his life, Meld thanks him while also apologizing for falling him before. Meld's last thought before his death was wishing for Hajime to defeat Ehit.

Weapons & Equipment

 * Loyalty’s Promise - a magical gem that creates a powerful explosion in return for the caster’s life.

Powers & Abilities

 * Master Swordsman: Meld was considered the strongest knight and best swordsman in the Heiligh Kingdom before his death. Both Kouki and Shizuku acknowledged that Meld was superior to them in pure sword skills, despite their cheat spec. Even after his death and having grown stronger, they still wonder whether or not they could match in swordsmanship.

Spells

 * Hallowed Ground - it creates an impenetrable barrier that can't be broken by normal means, but does have some limitations. It separates a particular area from other areas and not people from people, so enemies within the AOE would not be pushed away. It also consumes a lot of mana and can only be used for a minute. “Grant thine protection to your beloved children, O God! Reject all malice and let this be a holy ground that denies thine enemies passage! Hallowed Ground"
 * Blitz Hammer - it fires a ball of compressed wind with tremendous.
 * Wind Wall - it summons a barrier of wind.

Stats
At the start of Volume 1, Meld was at level 62, with all his stats within the 300 range.

Quotes

 * (To the students): "Ngh... You kids... think only about how you’re going to survive! Do whatever it takes to stay alive! I’m sorry... for dragging you all into our war... The more time I spent with you all... the more I came to regret relying on you to solve our problems... so please, live to make it home... Don’t worry about us... From the start... this was our fight to fight!"

Trivia

 * In the Anime, Meld does not have a scar on his left chin, (but strangely Ryutarou Sakagami does).
