Pluto fon Croword is a character in the Karsearin: Adventures of a Red Dragon.
Information[]
Pluto is the vice-captain of the order of Karsel.
He's believed to be related because he shares the same surname with Terold Croword, who wrote The Book of Archmage, and it turned out that he's his ancestor.
He's the descendant of a Black Dragon Eyra. Obviously, since she was in her human form, no dragon blood got passed down, still, he's a descendant of a Dragon. He is descended from his ancestor, Terold Croward, and Eyra's third son with her polymorphed Eyralin.
Apperance[]
Pluto is a young, toned man with light brown tone, short black hair, and black eyes. His hair is just like his ancestor Terold Croword's Third Son. [1]
He wears black armor that covers his entire body.
Personality[]
Pluto has proven to be a rather arrogant and conceited man, although he is proud of having the title of dragon slayer, he feels some shame because the dragon they killed was a baby and not an adult one.
He has shown, unlike his companions, an extremely cruel and sadistic side as he was determined to kill Arin after he was no longer useful to them, as well as some satisfaction in killing enemies even when they are weaker than him.
Biography[]
In the garden, Ione asked him, where he's going today. He answered ... he told her not to call him that, her highness. Ione grabbed his right arm and said no one's around so it's fine, so, shere he's going today. Sernian said she should come here, Ione, she mustn't bother Sir. Ione said to Sernian that mother. Gaster and Latisse looked at them. [2]
Season 1[]
Darios briefly told Arin about himself and his comrades. He, the vice-captain of the order of Karsel. Then, Darios told Arin about fighting Grateus, the White Dragon. Darios said to Arin that that's how Grateus died, after that, the people called them Dragon Slayers. [3]
In the room where Mina took Arin, in addition to the middle-aged man, Reyses and a sturdy young man with black hair were also standing there. Suddenly the man asked this should be enough to fool them, right, him. The black-haired young man also looked satisfied. He said he really does resemble her. He asked he'll be a stand in for just a day or two at most so this much should be fine, right, Gaster. Arin, who was listening to the conversation between the two, suddenly felt interested. Arin thought Gaster and him, right, Darios told him about them in his stories. Arin shouted and asked the guy in the black hood must be Gaster, the mage of Karsel, and the black-haired guy must be him, the vice-captain of the order of Karsel. Mina, who was startled, quickly corrected his words. Mina said to Arin that he should adress them as "Misters". Gaster and he looked at Arin in confusion. He asked to Arin that hmm, waitm he know their names. Gaster asked to Arin that he heared he were uninformed about the world, where he did hear about them. Arin answered it's from Darios, he heard him all killed a dragon together. At that moment, a bitter smile appeared on the lips of the two people. Gaster let out a laugh. Gaster said hoho, he saw, if he heard it directly from him, then what he know was close to the truth. He said according to the people at the local bar, he's a superhuman who ripped the dragon's wing off with a single blow and caused it to fall. Gaster said and he apparently smashed the dragon's head with Meteor Strike, if he had really mastered a Ninth Circle spell, why he would has gone through the trouble. Arin was puzzled. Arin thought for some reason, they don't seem to be in a good mood, strange, he's sure Karstein told him that, humans kill dragons just to attain a title and satisfy their greed. Arin asked excuse him, they two weren't proud of being called Dragon Slayers. Gaster let out something that was close to a complaint. Gaster said well, sure, they're proud, but it's not exactly something to boast about, they still have trouble sleeping just thinking about those days. He continued that people thought they can easily take down a dragon or two, geez, damn it, they should see one for themselves. Gaster said he wouldn't understand just hearing about it, how terrifying its massive body was. He strongly agreed with Gaster's grumbling voice. He said sigh, Darios just had to see for himself. Arin looked at their reaction and it seemed like they were quite scared of it. Arin thought hmm, sounds like it was quite frightening. Suddenly, Arin remembered something else that puzzled him. Arin thought but, what did they mean by "fool them" earlier. [4]
Mina thought for a moment and responded politely that thank him for his generous offer, however, they weren't so weak themselves, Prince Kasler, though only one knight accompanied them, his name was Pluto fon Croword. A look of astonishment appeared in Kasler's eyes. Kasler shouted Sir, Sir the Dragon Slayer, he's here in person. [5]
At night, in the Anasteid. In one of the countless pubs scattered throughout the city, the group of five engaged in a heated discussion. He diligently cut up the steak and ate it. Kias asked Sir, it's all right for him not to step in. He chewing his steak and said, Gaster's speaking for him already, he'd rather have another bite of meat than waste his breath. [6]
Season 2[]
Largo shouted in excitement that calm down, Osteir does look like he can calm down right now, those three didn't even bother to bring an army, all they do was repeatedly ambush them, how could the so-called Dragon Slayers fight so shamelessly. [7]
Gaster thought crap... ...this is no time to be laughing, he wonder how Vera and he are doing, there's no way he'll lose in a battle of magic, but it'll take some time, but he can't afford to appear weak and boost their morale, right now... ...he must continue to look confident. Blue sword aura cut deep from below his waist. He barely managed to bounce it off with the sword and clicked his tongue and thought what's taking them so long, it's about time something happened, but all he saw was a flash of light. Largo asked what's wrong, Sir. Largo sneered he's suddenly in a rush. He sighed and thought he saw, Largo already saw through his plan, and it looked like he has a trump card, King Largo... ...forgive him for spacing out. At the same time, his Sword Aura turned black and began to fluctuate. A black air current swirled and rose along the sword. The darkness spreads out and compresses again into a single sword. He, holding it, looked like the ruler of darkness. He said he'll take Largo on seriously now. [8]
He said this is his creation... ...Dark Aura. Largo frowned and said Dark Aura... Largo laughed loudly and replied ahaha, that's the path he chose, of all the choices he had. Both his eyebrows twitched and said huh, it sounded like Largo knew about this aura. Largo sneezed and said of course, he does, it does involve... ...compressing mana dozens of times more than regular Sword Aura to boost its weight. His complexion hardened. Largo said however, it's an inefficient strategy as it consumed a lot of energy... ...not to mention it has severe consequences for his body. Largo adjusted his grip on the Storm Bringer and the blue light surrounding the sword began to swirl and he said he shall show him the right path, he fool. His expression slowly hardened as he looked at Largo's the sword, which had finally become a brilliant silver blade and thought that's... ...Silver Aura. Largo said the right way to increase the power of his Sword Aura... is to circulate it rather than compress it, it created greater power without any side effects, then again, he's descended from rootless rebels, the sages of the empire have passed down this teaching for a long time, having become a Sword Master without attaining this great wisdom, it's no wonder that he deviated from the right path. There was a deep murderous look in his eyes and he said hmph, Largo sure talk big. As he swung his Dark Aura widely, he shouted Largo never know what's going to happen until he actually fight someone. Largo stabbed incoming slash with a Silver Aura and said wrong can never win against right. Storm Bringer, shining in silver, tore apart the darkness for a long time. The Silver Aura slashed through his shoulder, shattered more than half of his armor. He shouted ack... Largo looked disappointed and said he doesn't have what it taked... ...to be called a Dragon Slayer, perhaps Darios, the greatest knight in the empire, isn't all that impressive either. He hurriedly used his mana to cover the wound, but red blood still oozed out and grabbed his shoulder. Largo laughted hahaha. He thought dammit... to think his killer move... ...is no match for the Storm Bringer, Largo didn't even use magic, this is just like... ...the first time he crossed swords with Darios... He gritted his teeth in pain and thought goddammit. [9]
It was then. Just as Largo was about to hit Storm Bringer, a huge stream of fire burned the surroundings and exploded at him. Largo shouted kugh. He turned around and saw the brown haired mage who asked still alive, him. He answered finally, what took him so long... ...Gaster. Gaster appeared, holding his head and frowning. [10]
Gaster continued to hold his head and frown and replied oww his head... he can't be any nicer, he risked his life to come save him. He asked curiously that why Gaster is gripping his head, there's a problem. Gaster answered that no, he doesn't worry, it's just a side effect from casting spells one after another. Gaster laughed and said he'll be able to use magic again in about ten minutes. He said in other words... Gaster can't use magic for the next ten minutes. Gaster said wow, he's smarter than he thought. The flame split and a silver glow suppressed the heat. The vortex of suppressed fire split long and opened a path. Meanwhile, the swordman appeared again. Largo said just what he'd expect from an Archmage, not even 12 Masters managed to stop Gaster, huh. Gaster said him... fought against that? The Storm Bringer is quite something. He said he wouldn't have struggled if Largo was such an easy enemy. Largo smirked and said Archmage Gaster, he, too, admire his skills. Largo raised Storm Bringer high and shouted loudly that however, he has the dragon's power with him, now, he shall avenge the imperial soildiers that he killed. He asked any ideas, Gaster. Gaster answered he told him he can't use magic roght now, he think of something. Pluto said he can't believe he has to die with an old, perverted Archmage... Gaster shouted hey, he should watch his mouth, he came to rescue him. At that moment, a silver flash suddenly flew through the air from above the cliff and struck Largo. It was a blow that was so sudden that Largo had no choice but to hit it squarely. Largo morned guh... He was surprised and shouted this must be... A cry close to a scream came from the mouths of the imperial soldiers that l-look up there, he could be... ...Darios fon Goldbruf... ...the Dragon Slayer. He shouted ha... about time Darios got here. Gaster said what a remarkable entrance, Darios, despite his nonchalance, he managed to appear in full view of everyone, even the lighting is perfect... He was surprised and shouted how that's important right now. He said huh. [10]
He thought damn him... ...Darios... ...he has advanced further than he imagined. He said after all the pretense of fighting fairly, Largo depended on the power of his sword. Darios said the storm is fueled by the dragon's power, it's unstoppable... ...unless they fight back with a Ninth Circle spell... Gaster said good grief... he already pushed his limits today, and it turned out he hasn't even faced the real challenge yet, since he has his mana back, he has no choice... ...but to use a Ninth Circle spell. Gaster said he shall hereby contain... ...the dragon's power... Gaster said Absolute Magic Seal. Largo was embarrassed and shouted ...what in the world, his mana... the mana flowing into the sword... ...has been blocked. At the same time, the swirling Dragon Power Wind began to lose its shape. He said dang, Gaster really was something. For an instant, his complexion hardened and shouted in panic that Gaster... Darios cut off Largo's head in one fell swoop. [11]
He had injured his shoulder and was slumped on a rock in a state of exhaustion. He said it's over, with their commander-in-chief dead, 100,000 soldiers were nothing to write home about, they should've just had Darios come alone from the beginning. Darios said the situation was certainly dire... but he also couldn't ignore Libeid either, there was a risk of a counterattack if they discovered that he was gone, he had better hurry back. He smiled and said why Darios don't take a break before heading back, he's sure he's also exhausted, and that's some good entertainment right here, dang, their army knew how to fight, they don't even have to step in. Darios asked how he can joke about such a gruesome scene. He answered why not, Darios was happy that they're winning. Darios' brow furrowed deeply and said they can't celebrate people dying, him, they may be their enemies, but show some decency, it's the least they can do. The smile on his lips grew even deeper and smiled and said Darios was saying they should grieve after killing them, then he should've been a farmer instead of a knight, he could kill their enemies a thousand times over if it meant their army's survival, Darios. Vera appeared between the rocks, dragged Scarla with her and asked oh, hey, Darios, when he did get here. He asked Vera, she's okay, what... she's dragging. Vera said oh, it's Scarla, the highest-ranked exorcist of the dawn, she put up a tough fight, she managed to win when it became an endurance contest, she brought her over in case they could use her as a hostage, but looked like the fight was already over. He sighed and said yeah, victory was theirs, then shall they return. Darios said yes... ...it's time to return to being vicious invaders. [12]
He worried and asked to Vera that if it was hard after fighting for a while. Vera answered with a hard smile that this was okay and that she had gained quite a bit of her divine power. Scarla, who was lying down, raised her head and shouted that Vera is a vicious bitch, and that was how she got that incredible divine power. Everyone turned their heads towards her sudden shout. Scarla's eyes filled with hatred leaked through her tangled blonde hair. If a look could kill a person, Vera would be torn to pieces right now. Scarla's venomous gaze is truly terrifying. Vera didn't care at all. Vera said oh, because she's a recycler. A scream came out of Scarla's mouth that it would be better to kill her. The mechanism of a divine spell is to generate one's divine power by exercising one's own sacred power based on strong faith. Piety increases the level of divine spells, and divine power increases the power of divine spells. No matter how sincere your heart is, you cannot use holy spells if you do not have mana, or divine power, which is the driving force to generate the spell. Scarla who lost her divine power was the same as losing everything. Darios said hmm... and he was appalled and looked at Scarla and Vera alternately. Will Vera be able to feel at ease even after looking at her like that? Vera said that's right, let's kill Scarla even though she's no longer useful. Vera seemed to be comfortable. It was a time when Darios was dumbfounded as Gaster watched Vera muttering calmly. Gaster, who was looking at Vera with a look in his eyes that said, now that she has cured Pluto, it will be his turn, opened his mouth that wait, Vera. Vera answered why, Gaster. Gaster said if Vera is going to recycle Scarla, let's be sure. Vera said pardon. Gaster said a body with strong vitality is useful in many ways, so a high-ranking exorcist like Scarla would have amazing vitality. Vera asked Gaster is going to experiment on humans again. Gaster asked there's a problem. Vera answered well, whatever, do whatever Gaster want. Darios, who could not hear the conversation between the two, frowned and stepped in front of them. Darios said too many people do it, really. As much as possible, Darios do not interfere with what his colleagues are doing, but this time he cannot tolerate it. Darios was about to get angry. But Darios missed the timing again. Pluto said he agreed with Darios opinion. As Darios was about to step forward, Pluto grabbed his shoulder and dragged him. Pluto said he's not a good guy, but there's no need to be such a bad guy. Pluto took the form of an edge of the hand with his right arm and drew out blue Sword Aura. A blue light passed by Scarla's neck. Scarla screamed ugh... A low voice rang softly amidst the red blood. Pluto said those who should be killed must be killed. [13]
He asked someone can't explain it in simpler terms. Inside the field tent, Gaster answered hmm, a human can grow a tail if they cast a regeneration spell on their rear. He said obviously not. Gaster said that is what it meant to disrupt an existence. Gaster hit the table with his hand and said no amount of healing will recover his arm, not even the divine spell for regenerating a severed arm will work, trying to recover his left arm is like trying to attach a tail to a human. Gaster laughed and said by the nature existence, humans cannot perform Ninth Circle spells, but he managed to, only at the cost of an arm, this is why he should've completed the Vessel of the Soul. He said a missing arm won't hinder Gaster from casting spells, somatics, they were, he heard the hand guestures were also important. Gaster concluded with a bitter tone that Fifth Circle spells and below were fine, but it'll take a bit longer to cast Sixth Circle spells and up, anything above mid-level Eighth Circle spells is impossible. He said in other words, their magic power has been reduced by half. Gaster said yes, he has got it spot-on. He came out of the commander's field tent and said anyway, Gaster should focus on his recovery, though he seemed to be doing fine except for his arm. He grumbled and asked Darios has gone back yet. On one side of a gentle hill, among countless weeds, Darios lay alone and looked up at the sky. Someone asked Darios did said he had to go back soon. Darios said him. He approached Darios. Darios said his body is still recovering from the fatigue. He sat down next to Darios and opened his mouth that no kidding, the Warrior King was a formidable enemy. He asked why Darios don't go see Ione since he's here anyway. Darios asked what right he does have. His counterattack to Darios' response came right out that he stubborn prick, what right, he wasn't the most powerful Sword Master on earth, if he was him, he'd at least try and make a move on Ione, he has got a real problem if he's getting this worked up about it since he usually doesn't give a crap. Darios asked but he knew who Princess Ione liked, he doesn't. He responded shamelessly that obviously, Ione liked him, because she has good taste. Darios said he's shameless. He snickered and responded calmly that but Ione is like a little sister to him, plus, his heart is already set on Vera. Darios said with a sigh that it's just like him... ...to be so simple but sure. Darios said even so, he doesn't have the right to love her, because what he saw in her isn't actually Ione herself... He asked with raised eyes that what Darios was rambling about, why everyone is around him speaking in riddles. Gaster walked through the bushes toward Darios and he and said there they all were. Darios asked Gaster, what he brought here, something did happen. Gaster said he has come to deliver news from the scouts, it seemed there were still around 80,000 Imperial soldiers who retreated, they can't let their guard down just yet with so many enemy troops standing bym for now, let's continue to monitor their movements. Darios asked they'll launch another assult after losing their king, with their leader gone, they wouldn't return to the western empire. Gaster answered normally, yes, unfortunately, they must go back through the Lartead Mountains, which they can't enter and leave as they wished. He muttered crap, what a pain in the neck, the Imperial army is holding them back, they also need to find the seals before Karstein found out that they messed with the hatchling. Darios asked dubiously that speaking of, Arin is really a hatchling. He answered yeah, they're dead meat now, they say messing with a hatchling can cause an entire kingdom to fall. Gaster said actually, he came up with a countermeasure, however... Gaster was angry and shouted ...his mentor is so goddamn useless. At that moment, Terold Croword appeared behind the grumbling Gaster and asked that he's talking about him, Gaster. Gaster shouted goodness, when Terold did get here, useless mentor of his. Terold was angry and said why, Gaster little... He asked ancestor, Sir, what brought him here, and why Gaster is so angry. Terold said bah, this is all because of that damn Liegis. [14]
Season 3[]
Someone said he doesn't believe it... ...Libeid, Batran, and Sarbazan had 70,000 allied forces, their enemies had a mere 20,000, how could the four of them... ...compensate for a difference of 50,000 troops... and furthermore corner them, those blasted Dragon Slayers. He ran through the enemy lines alone, spraying the blood of dozens of men with each swing of his sword, leaving the proud Libeid Knights helpless. He looked at the Storm Bringer and shouted ahaha, this is pretty darn good, the magic may be sealed, but the sword itself is well-balanced, who knew dragons could make such an exquisite sword. Gaster said wrong, the sword was created by a dwarf craftsman, the only thing the dragon did was breathe magic into it, yet they still call it a sword made by a dragon, what shameless creatures. He asked ...Gaster, remember his previous sword, he did say he crafted it. Gaster answered yeah, he breathed magic into it, though the blade itself was forged by the royal blacksmith. He said why he's always surrounded by hypocrites. Gaster laughed heartily and said in any case, victory is upon them, with this... ...they can continue their plan. In the barracks, Darios shouted they have yet to catch their leader, if they let them go, it will come back to bite them. He said that's rich coming from Darios, he wasn't supposed to be the honorable Silver Knight who cared about enemy casualties. Darios shouted it's to prevent a future bloodbath. He said that's what he's saying, he doesn't understand Darios' thought process. Gaster laughed and shouted it's time for him to enjoy a date with a beautiful lady. Gaster goes to the outside and shouted he hired a gorgeous assistant recently, now that the urgent business is taken care of, he can leave, right, Darios all should rest up too, hahaha. He said lucky Gaster. Someone shouted Gaster. [15]
He groaned. Then he collapsed on the floor and shouted argh. He slowly raised his right hand and said ...the pain is gone... He thought for a moment, he couldn't feel his right hand, what in the world is happening to his body. He clenched his fist and said ...no... he's sure it was only temporary. He said there's no way something is wrong with his body... [16]
Gaster ran with a deathly pale face and said Darios should call he and Vera, they're heading to Karsel. [17]
Gaster spread out his hands and said it's not working, the Warp Gate won't open, he can't set his coordinates. Darios said that does mean... Gaster said yes, as they feared... ...a calamity has befallen Serkarsel. Gaster shouted for now, he'll teleport them to the Al Kreed Mountains, from there, they'll head to Karsel. He said crap. A large circle was created, connecting space and space, and he said not even the almighty Gaster can afford to show off in this situation, huh. [2]
A light flashed through the dim forest deep in the mountains where people were sparsely present. Darios asked this is... the Al Kreed Mountains. Gaster answered yes. Vera looked around. Gaster said it used to be a village practicing slash-and-burn agriculture, however, the entire place was set on fire to cut off trade with Batran, and he teleported based on what he remembered. Vera asked ...a village... Gaster said. Someone said there were no traces of a village here. Darios had a pensive expression and thought if Gaster can teleport to a village that no longer existed... ...what's preventing him from locating the coordinates for Serkarsel. Gaster spoke in a firm tone that let's keep going, once they get over this hill, they'll be able to see Karsel. They walked slowly. After a while, Gaster's expression hardened. Darios asked Gaster, what's wrong, why he did suddenly... ...stop... Darios opened his eyes wide. He asked huh... they did take the wrong path, why there's... ...an ocean here. Gaster cried out in horror and trembling that dragons... ...their power is beyond imagination... [18]
There are simply not enough words in the world to truly define the complex expression on Darios' face and he said impossible... He shouted wh-who goes there. He shouted his majesty, princess Ione. Latisse and Ione appeared between the bushes. Ione looked so disheveled that it belied her status as a princess of a country, with her dress torn here and there, her red hair disheveled, and her expression looking completely exhausted, sobbed and said him... ...ugh... Suddenly Ione collapsed and burst into tears and shouted waaaah. He looked at her with a blank expression and said Ione... Gaster shouted snap out of it, Latisse dazed fool. He said Gaster, that's quite harsh considering what his majesty went through. They set up a campsite by lighting a bonfire in an empty lot. Ione was snuggled up next to him, a blanket covering her back. [19]
