This article is about the character Meiru. You may be looking for the Manga chapter from the "Zero" series.


Meiru Melusine (メイル・メルジーネ, Meiru Merujīne?) was a character who appears both in the main Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest series as a minor character, and in the spin-off Arifureta Zero series as one of the main protagonists.

She was a dagon-vampire mixed breed, and an Atavist with the ability to use one of the Ancient Magics from the "Age of Gods." She was also the creator and caretaker of Sunken Ruins of Melusine.

Appearance

Meiru was a beautiful woman in her 20s with wavy emerald-green hair and narrow jade-red eyes. She had a slender body along with very voluptuous breasts. Her measurements were B98 W61 H89 cm.[2] Due to her dagon heritage, she had fin-shaped ears and webbed hands and feet.

Meiru usually wore a blue and white bikini, a mini skirt in the same colors, and a large belt. She also wore a white jacket that was adorned on her like a cape, and a black and white tricorne cap. She carried a beautiful saber with an elaborate cross-guard design.

Personality

On the surface, Meiru was a kind and charming woman who was always smiling. In realty, however, she was mischievous and sadistic. She enjoyed teasing others and would torment her enemies to the point that it would look like she was torturing them. Even so, Meiru cared greatly for her allies and would risk her life for them. She was charismatic enough that she managed to recruit hundreds of pirates that would gladly lay down their lives for her. She was also a good judge of character and could easily discern those that she could trust.

Although Meiru would frequently tease those around her, she was unable to properly respond to others when they teased her.

Meiru was greedy and would look for any opportunity to get rich, including stealing.

Despite her position as a pirate captain, Meiru did not like to think about anything too difficult and would immediately lose focus whenever a topic came up that she was uninterested in. She was also very sloppy and incapable of doing the most basic household chores, such as cooking and cleaning.

Due to being in possession of ancient magic, Meiru was somewhat arrogant in her abilities and initially believed herself to be practically invincible. This would later change, however, after she failed to save Oscar Orcus' siblings with her magic, and later Miledi.

As being part dagon, Meiru loved being by the ocean and enjoyed swimming.

Powers & Abilities

  • Expert Swimmer - As half-dagon, Meiru could breathe underwater and was able to swim much faster than a human. Since Meiru could control both the current and the surrounding water pressure with her magic, she was more mobile underwater than on land.
  • Master Swordswoman - Meiru was very capable of wielding her saber in battle.
  • Master Whipwoman - Meiru was very capable of wielding her saber when it was transformed into a long whip.

  • Immense Mana - Unlike normal beastmen, Meiru possessed mana and the ability to manipulate it due to her vampire heritage and nature as an Ancient Magic wielder. She was capable of utilizing her signature restoration magic in battle without too much fatigue, as well as casting a wide array of other magics.
  • Magic Master - Meiru was very skilled with magic. She specifically excelled at water magic, while also having great affinity for all elements. She was capable of skillfully utilizing her signature restoration magic in creative ways to supplement her other spells. Even Miledi Reisen, a prodigy mage, had praised her magical ability.

  • All Elemental Affinity - A skill to use all kinds of magic.
  • Mana Manipulation - A skill to directly manipulate mana and use spells without the need of a magic circle or an incantation.
  • Restoration Magic - One of the ancient magics originating from the "Age of Gods," which allows the user to restore the state of anything to either its previous or original condition. The true power of this magic is the ability to interfere with time, meaning it has the ability to manipulate the time of anything, anyplace or anyone to a point the user desires to. It can also be used to look into the past, or potential futures based on set decision variables.

Water Magic

  • Rupture - An intermediate-rank spell that gathers water from the atmosphere, compresses it, and shoots it out as a high speed cleaver. It is possible to reduce the mana consumption of the spell by using an available water source, rather than gathering water from the atmosphere.
  • Tidal Wave - A high ranked spell which can create a huge wave to crush the enemies. For an ordinary magic-user, it would only be a tsunami around ten to twenty meters, squarely. However, a skilled mage can create a tsunami with a width of 150 meters and height of 100 meters.
  • Torrential Burst - It creates a massive sphere of water.
  • Torrential Bulwark - It creates a large dome made of water.
  • Serpent's Fangs—Infinity - It can transform a micro ocean into a multi-headed snake.
  • Aerial Sea - Meiru’s domain-creating spell. It summons a sphere of water that is 300 meters in diameter in the air, swallowing up enemies facing her and left them at the mercy of the extreme water pressure and high-speed currents within the sphere. Additionally, Meiru constantly use restoration magic to instantly regenerate the damage done to it and impide the objetive from escape.

Restoration Magic

  • Tetragrammaton - Restoration magic variant, a magic which restores everything regardless of whether it is organic or inorganic matter. It can even restore someone on the brink of death.
  • Transient Infinity - Restoration magic that can, regardless of the substance of the object, regenerate everything to the state one second ago every one second it is used.
  • Revival Reversal - Restoration magic that reproduces the wounds and destruction that an object once received in the past. Although not direct or indirect, if it’s not touched within a radius of less than 3 meters it won’t work. The wounds that can be reproduced are proportional to the amount of mana being used.
  • Past Vision - Restoration magic that shows visions of past events at a specific location. The further back in time one views, the more mana it consumes.
  • Future Sight - It provides a vague glimpse into the future for a few seconds. It consumes a tremendous amount of mana, so it can only be used once a day.
  • Stagnation - Meiru’s domain-creating spell. It consist in the creation of a 50 meters radius domain around Meiru in which the time of those she choose get slowed down. The slowing is so great that those comparable to her which can move at superhuman velocities, get slowed to a normal person’s walking speed, which at practical effects make them move at a snail’s pace at Meiru eyes. While initially the domain have a 50 meters radius, she can increase it's range.

Composite Magic

  • Leviathan Assault - A spell that combines Meiru's water magic with Miledi's "Spatial Severance" to unleash high-speed water jets.

  • Limitless Whip Blade - An elegant cross-guarded saber that was modified by Oscar Orcus so that it could transform into a long whip of metal mixed with water extending from the guard. It could elongate its size to restrain enemies, as well as unleash a powerful electric shock.
  • Treasure Trove - An artifact that was attached to her saber’s hilt. It was a ruby that was one centimter in diameter that artificially created dimensional space where things could be stored.
  • Obsidian Spectacles - An artifact that had various spells and features enchanted into it, ranging from Heat Vision, Night Vision, Mana Tracking, Magnification, Flash Bang, Farsight, Sense Magic, Soul Sight, heightened perception and immunity to dark magic. After Lyutillis had mastered her evolution magic, Oscar added the ability to analyze all information to the glasses with her help. Furthermore, Oscar would enchant the frames into a storage device to absorb sunlight and heat and fire them as a type of destructive laser (called "Super Glasses Beam"). The laser could only be used once per day, but since it didn't rely on magic, it had the benefit that it could not be nullified with magic and anti-magic measures.
  • Metal Slime Batlam - An artifact made to mimic the Bachulum Batlam, but instead of being made of slime, it was made with a strong metal liquid. It was a fusion of creation and metamorphosis magic. It would automatically defend the user from any incoming attacks and it could also be controlled by the wielder to attack or shape-shift to whatever form. However, the stronger the attacks were, or the more frequent the attacks were, the more metal liquid will be used up, which would deplete its liquid metal reserves.
  • Summoning Circle - It created a three-meter wide gate that sucked everyone nearby into it, teleporting the user to a specified location within a few kilometers. It looked like a small, transparent glass bead, and could only be used once.

Don’t be deceived by the gods’ honeyed words. Only when you live by your own free will can you find true happiness. I pray the path you walk will be forever showered in fortune."[5]
