| The Battle of Ceipheed and Shabranigdo |
| Ceipheed. Shabranigdo. These two powers fought for control of the staff that supported the Slayers world for thousands of years. Neither force could surpass the other, but neither was going to surrender. Although no one knows exactly how long they battled, it is said that the fight finished about 5000 years ago. Flare Dragon Ceipheed managed to fire a blast that split Shabranigdo into 7 pieces, cutting down his power considerably, and then sealed the Dark Lord away for several more thousand years. However, Ceipheed, exhausted by the effort, sank into the Sea of Chaos; so, in reality, Shabranigdo is now better off than the Flare Dragon. Although Shabranigdo's 7 pieces have the power to be resurrected, Ceipheed, as far as I know, can never be called back. The 5 dark lords created by Shabranigdo and the 4 gods created by Ceipheed are what constantly battle in place of them. Shabranigdo's servants will always try to bring the 7 pieces of the Dark Lord back to life, while the gods are supposed to protect the world, and cease any efforts to revive Shabranigdo. From the battles of the mozaku and shinzoku, demi-humans and monsters started appearing, such as trolls and berserkers. Thus, the battle has never truly ended. |
