Eliheid SSharm. BBarn. Heiligh (エリヒド・シャルムバーン・ハイリヒ, Erihido Sharumu Bān Hairihi?) was the king of Heiligh Kingdom when the heroes from another world were summoned by Tortus's god Ehit. During the demon race's invasion in the Heiligh Kingdom, Eliheid, together with all of his high ranked ministers was assassinated by Eri Nakamura.

Appearance

Eliheid was a handsome middle-aged man with long dark-blond hair, a long beard, and blue eyes. He was usually seen wearing royal robes with a golden crown about 10 centimeters tall.[1]

Personality

Eliheid was a loyal devotee of Ehit. He becomes even more religious after being brainwashed to the point he would dismiss Meld Loggins's concerns about the "Hollowness" of the zombified knights, as well as threaten his own daughter for doubting the Holy Church.

Chronology

Eliheid welcomed the summoned heroes where he requested them to fight against the demon race. He also provided theme with various artifacts and instructors to prepare them for the upcoming battle.

When one of the heroes, Hajime Nagumo, was believed to have died in Great Orcus Labyrinth, Eliheid did his best to stop the gossip from spreading throughout the kingdom from many of the nobles to avoid upsetting the rest of the heroes. Knight Commander Meld Loggins wanted to question the students to the cause of the accident, both Eliheid and Pope Ishtar Langbard forbad him.

Not long after the envoys from the Hoelscher Empire arrived to meet the summoned heroes, one of them challenged Kouki Amanogawa to a duel in order to test his strength as the "Hero". In their duel, Kouki's opponent criticized him for his lack of resolve while fighting and called him weak, to which Eliheid became offended and started yelling at him. It was then discovered by Ishtar that the opponent was actually Emperor Gahard D. Hoelscher in disguise, much to Eliheid's annoyance. The two rulers later discussed affairs of state and Gahard promised Eliheid to offer his support to Kouki and the other heroes.

When Eliheid received the news that Hajime Nagumo was alive, while also possessing a tremendous power and various unknown artifacts, Eliheid, together with the Holy Church declared him as heretic due to his refusal to rejoin his classmates and cooperate with them in the war against the demons. During this time, Eliheid and many of the kingdom's nobles began to act erratic and frequently expressed their devotion towards Ehit. It had gotten to a point where Eliheid's daughter Liliana was concerned for him, but was reluctant to act after her father threatened to label her a heretic.

Following the demons' invasion the Heiligh Kingdom, it was later revealed that Eliheid and all of the high ranked ministers were killed by Eri, who turned their bodies to become her undead puppets, and later destroyed by Hajime.

Relationships

Luluaria S. B. Heiligh

His wife. The two of them loved each other very much.

Liliana S. B. Heiligh

His daughter. She loved him, but grew concerned for him when he became much more faithful towards Ehit than normal. When Liliana attempted to address her concerns with him, Eliheid threatened to brand her a heretic, much to her shock. She was greatly saddened by his death.

Lundel S. B. Heiligh

His son. Lundel was deeply distraught after his father's death.

Hajime Nagumo

At first, Eliheid didn't look down on Hajime like the rest, but also, due to his common job as a Synergist, he didn't expect anything from him like the others, despite being one of Ehit's summoned heroes. With Hajime's apparent death, he was respectful enough not to mock or ridicule the apparent deceased and issued an order prohibiting any insult to Hajime's memory by anyone. When Eliheid discovered that Hajime was alive, and obtained newfound strength and powerful new comrades, he branded them all as heretics due to his refusal to rejoin his classmates. Hajime did not have an opportunity to form a bond of any kind with Eliheid, as he had been killed in Eri's plans.

Ishtar Langbard

Eliheid treated Ishtar as someone with a higher standing than him and he frequently did not take action unless he gained the latter's approval.

Gahard D. Hoelscher

Eliheid and Gahard both shared a positive relationship due to them being the rulers of two allied nations. However, Eliheid was not too fond of Gahard's quirks when he challenged Kouki Amanogawa to a duel while in disguise. Gahard, in return, would consider him to be a great king and grieved after learning of his death.

Ehit

Eliheid was a loyal devotee of Tortus' god.
