A Silver-furred Wolf Dog who has evolved and gained new powers such as Beastification and Humanization after defeating the Black Elves belonging to the Reform Extremist faction and the Goblin Swordsman in the Ancient Forest. It’s not surprising that he and his pack of more than 40 Kobolds could be classified as Threat Level A monsters but after their success in defeating one of the Seven Plagues, “Alvesta of the Black Rain” in the royal capital, his status as a Sacred Beast excluded them from the list of monsters to be exterminated. Lately, he frequently takes on the appearance of a Silver Wolf and runs to the town of Zelgra and visits the local tavern after changing into a man.

Is considered to be the big sister of the pack who is good at taking care of others. On their way back from sending the child they picked up in the forest back to Viel village, she and her comrades were caught in the fog deployed by a “Blood Trent”, but together with her companions they created a diversion, and she and her tall and skinny childhood friend combined forces to create the spell “Holy Blaze” which defeated the enchanted tree. When she ascended the Silver Spiral, a glimpse into her past life influenced her evolution into a Kobold Valkyrie. She is currently training in Holy Magic under the World Tree Priestess Listy.

Title: Liz’s Father who has become stronger than ever

Weapon: Sabre (Main), Dagger (Auxiliary)

Armament: Black Leather

Is the head warrior of Lucua village who had lost many of his comrades in the Goblin raid. He has been putting in extra effort into his private training after he felt that he was not strong enough during the kidnapping incident that occurred in their village. Unlike the demi-human monsters who experience a drastic change, he is steadily ascending the Silver Spiral by gaining experience. He became strong enough to come head-to-head in a mock battle with Archer who was weakened by his Humanization. His skill, the Sword of Exorcism, infuses magic onto his blade which enables him to “cut through magic”. In addition, his sword-drawing stance, which he had single-mindedly perfected throughout the years, is quite popular with the young Werecat ladies which caused his wife to burn with jealousy.

Title: The Pseudo Demon Who Loves Books

He ascended the Silver Spiral after attacking the tough Black and White Kobolds living in the Ancient Forest and killing several Kobold Warriors. He used his newly-acquired power, the Breath of Light which has a high piercing power, to wound the silver-furred Kobold in the shoulder and save his friend who was in a pinch. As a result of his many experiences, he has become more compassionate towards his own kind and ultimately chooses to retreat rather than continue the fight. During his escape with Sword who was on the brink of death, he meets one of the Seven Plagues, “The Devourer of a Million Souls” who was drawn to his friend’s fading soul, and their encounter drastically changes their fate.

She is a young Kobold with a promising future who was born into the clan of Sage Gavi, the wise leader of the Largest pack in the Ancient forest. When she was leading her troops to fight the Goblins who were increasing in strength, she met a male Elder Kobold who was sitting on a rock and was leisurely fishing in the Clarsflume river. After working with him and successfully driving away the Goblin horde that was invading their territory, she asked him, “Won’t you join my pack?” which, in their race’s culture, was tantamount to a proposal, but… it seems that the silver wolfhound, who was a former mercenary in his past life, didn’t get the message exactly.

A Kobold whose settlement was burned down because they were the ones situated closest to the Goblins’ territory. During their retreat with the pups and the females, they were attacked by the Goblin Chieftain Vali, whose men killed their chief. After that, they were taken in by the pack of White Kobolds with whom they had friendly relations. He led his pack as the acting Chieftain and joined the Kobold Coalition to drive the Goblins back. With the help of his sworn ally Shiro, they used the “lose a battle, win the war” strategy and splendidly defeated their worst enemies despite sustaining a bad injury as a result. He possesses a strong sense of duty and at the request of Archer who had led them to victory, he escorts one of the Goblins’ rescued female human prisoners back to the nearby village.

Armament: Kobold’s Priestly Robes, Blue Potion (Self-made)

He is a Priest who is bad at hunting just like the other members of his pack, but this breed of White Kobolds possesses a special trait that enables everyone to use Holy attribute magic. For that reason, they have a cooperative partnership with all the other Kobold clans who are living around the area and are given prey in exchange for their healing services. His pack has taken in the remaining members of the Black and White Kobolds and thanks to them, their food situation has improved. During the battle against the Goblins, he had saved many of their brethren with his healing magic, but he was knocked out after the Goblin twin swordsman hit him with a throwing knife and used it to electrify him.

Title: The Stubborn Chieftain

Weapon: Knuckle Axe (Main / Auxiliary)

Armament: Battle Armor

He is the Chieftain of the light brown, prick-eared Kobolds. He is easily deceived due to his straightforward nature, so his parents, worried about his future, sent him to study under the Great Sage Gavi. But there, he was continuously teased by the mischievous Sage, so he grew up to be a stubborn Kobold who did not listen to others. Although he does not possess any notable skills, he is physically strong. After he received a name from the Sage, he returned to his pack and dominated the ranking battle, and became the Chieftain. During the battle against the Goblins, his pack protected their brethren and reduced the number of lives sacrificed in battle.
