Noce

A powerful elder Dark Lord from an old forgotten era, originally born as an Earth Dragon, Noce was turned into a Dark Lord by Demon King Gele and was completely loyal to her.

He was one of the four elite dark lords during Gele's era, but stepped down after Gi became the Demon King to keep a low profile. He later spent the following centuries training himself for the time when he would be able to release his master. He claimed to be loyal to Hornet but this was all a farce to use Dark Lords Ithere and Satella to release Gele.

Personality and Appearance
Noce was completely loyal to Gele and was plotting the way to release her since the day she was taken down by Gi. He had a very scheming and cruel mindset, usually backstabbing allies or individuals he believed could be potentially dangerous to his plans.

He showed no concern in his allied Dark Lords and used the Hornet faction in order to advance with his plans, which at the end of the day weakend said Faction.

He was a malevolent schemer that would use everyone for his own purposes and killed them when they are not of use anymore with no regrets. The only one he cared about was his master Demon King Gele, however this feeling wasn't mutual at all since after she was revived she didn't seem to care about Noce at all and barely aknowledged his existance.

He had a huge body of 283cm tall and his body was hard and tough like a rock and weight 500kg total. He was very corpulent and muscular, with very big arms and fingers and clawed teeth. He usually hid his body with robes when he wanted to deliberately go unnoticed. He had something that resembles a red cristal on his forehead and a big moustache.

Abilities
Noce was certainly very powerful and fought primarly with his fists. In the final battle against him, it took the best of Leazas (Rick, Leila, Barres, Maria, the sisters Milli Yorks and Mill Yorks, as well as dozens of soldiers) to stall Noce so Rance's party could recuperate, until he was finally slain by Rance and his party.

He has the ability to evolve and become more powerful the more he fights. For example, the more damage he takes, the harder his skin becomes. He also probably has a high magic level because he can cast high level spells such as Great Fire Ball and can summon undead soldiers. He also has the ability to transform into a giant earth creature, growing inmensely in size and power. As a former dragon his strength cannot be ignored.

Noce has no known Apostles.

Personal History
Noce was born somewhere during either Kkulf Kkulf's or Avel's era as an Earth Dragon, wether he was one of the original dragons or if he was born from Kamilla it is unknown. Ludo-Rathowm decides to replace the dragons and orders Ragnarok. An army of Gods descends to The Continent and the dragons are wiped out. Noce managed to survive and hides himself.

Millenniums later during Gele's era, she finds Noce and gives him her blood. Noce becomes a Dark Lord and pledges loyalty to Gele. At some point, he's considered powerful enough to carry the title of Elite Dark Lord. During the end of Gele's era in the year GL1004, she is sealed in another dimension by Gi using Chaos, who ended up becoming Demon King and starting the GI era. Noce steps down of the elite dark lords and starts formulating a plan to release Gele. He starts training until the right time comes.



The Dark Lord War breaks out with the Holy Magic Sect in the year GI0420. Noce actively takes part in the war and competes with Dark Lord Lexington on how many Toushin Cities they could crash. However, Noce betrays him and kills him in the Toushin Toshi Upsilon and concealed the act by making it look like he died under the falling Toushin City.

During the war Noce also fought Toushin Theta for 70 days straight in a fist fight. Theta was very quick and an excelent fighter that could predict and evade every attack. She could evade all of Noce 's attacks, but her attacks on him were only hardening his body. Theta wasn't able to take away the smirk from his face for the whole battle, but in the end her real body was attacked from behind and she stopped in front of Noce. He got so angry for not being able to finish her off that for the rest of the war he rampaged so much to be know as the Toushin destroyer.

In the year GI1015 Noce comes across Dark Lord Berksham, and while he was immobilized, he stabs him to death. Noce considered anyone trying to make Little Princess the next Demon King an obstacle in his plan to bring back Gele.



Gi dies around the same time and the Monster Realm is divided into two factions. He joined the Hornet faction, simply because he thought that faction would be easier to deceive in his plan to restore Gele from her imprisonment.

He saw an opportunity and he left Hornet 's side to set his plan in motion. He deceived Dark Lords Ithere and Satella to come with him and used Patton, the prince of Helman, to bring Leazas to its knees. As planned, Demon King Gele was successfully unsealed and he even managed to break Chaos, the sword that sealed her, in half. He was later taken down in a fierce battle against most Leazas' strongest commanders and Rance wielding the repaired Chaos. Noce is reduced to a mere Demonic Blood Soul and is absorbed by Gele inmediately after to recover some strength, bringing an end to Noce's existance.

he was one of the main antagonists of rance 03.
