"You keep telling everyone that Sieg has to die! Then Hilde, and Flicka, and the people of the town do whatever you say! Think for a second about what it means to be in charge! Throwing away all those lives...Stop and think about what your own words mean!"

Niebel to Miltz in "Toward A New Time"

Niebel (ニーベル, Niiberu) is a mage from Mildian the village of time. He helps the Rave Warriors fight the final battle against Lucia Raregroove.

Appearance[]

Niebel

Niebel is a slim young, rather short boy with straight blue dark hair and thin eyebrows. The bangs of his hair are particularly prominent, covering part of his forehead, and exposing a side of it, due to the lack of hair present at the location. He has large blue eyes and a small, mildly round nose. Niebel has a black mark, similar to Sieg's, under his right eye reaching up to his forehead.[1]

Niebel dons a green elaborated long sleeve open jacket, with lighter-colored edges, and golden zippers on either side of the jacket, reaching below his waist. Underneath, he wears a plain simple shirt loose around the bottom. Around his neck is a light scarf tied on the front in a large knot. Tied around his right arm is a wing-like object with three feathers springing forward. Surrounding his wrist, on both arms, are two moderately size dark-color bracelets.[1] His legs are covered by loose, oval-shaped patterned pants, with lines intersecting at the middle, reaching down below his knees. Both his boots are decorated with ribbons, and are, surprisingly, husky.[2] He is seen wearing glasses whilst flying on a Rune Wing.[3]

Personality[]

Niebel is a kind and innocent boy who displays great effort as worthiness to his character. Due to his birth outside Mildian while raised in the town, Niebel's only significance is that he does not avert the outside world while the residents follow the town consistent law for time itself. He greatly admires Sieg as his role model to the point where he bravely freed Sieg from prison after Master Miltz branded him a traitor. His admiration is profounded having observed Sieg's change of character from the outside world and his choosing to abandon his mission to kill the Etherion girl.

But despite being the youngest fighting member, Niebel exhibits admirable maturity and responsibility for a boy his age. He never holds grudges especially towards Miltz when Niebel berates him for failing to see the hypocrisy of his "congregational" words towards the town's law. In futher note, Niebel has potential bravery for standing up against the unfavorable odds when he helps defend Sieg from the whole Mildian town against him and his participation against the battle against Shakuma. This trait grew exponentially when Niebel cried greatly after learning of Sieg's fate, but still remained faithful for the Elemental Master's sacrifice and managed to put his tears aside for he followed the same steps during the final battle as he cast the "Last Ages" spell.

=He speaks to others with respect and tries his best to support his friends, as showed when he encouraged Musica to make Haru a sword. He is also rather timid and tends to add "Mr" and "Ms" at the begging of people's name when he calls them.

Niebel, disguised as master Miltz, heads to Sieg Hart's temporary prison cell, and orders the guards to let Sieg out.

As they walk through the prison hall, "Miltz" and another Miltz bump into each other. The Miltz that rescued Sieg uses a Mist spell, making mist appear, from the parent magic, Illusion Magic.

However, when they arrive they are left speechless with what they witness.[8] The three see Haja and Sieg fighting, none stop for one whole week without food or water.

Powers & Abilities[]

Niebel's Illusion Magic

Niebel's Illusion Magic

Illusion Magic: Niebel uses his Illusion Magic to take the form of another person's face, body, and even copy the person's speech, as stated by the guards that were keeping Sieg inside prison. He first uses this form of magic to rescue Sieg from prison, as Master Miltz, to fool the guards into thinking that he is Miltz himself. He is even capable of perfectly imitating the person's personality. He has greatly developed his ability to make illusions, as stated by Sieg, who was also fooled by Niebel's Illusion Magic. Niebel's illusion Magic allows him to copy exactly what that person, the one he makes himself look like, wears; shirt, shoes, pants and so on. His illusion Magic does not have a time limit as Niebel is able to make himself appear to be another person for as long as he wants, and undo the Magic at any given time. He can even copy the person's weapon. When releasing the effects of this Magic, Niebel's whole body turns to smoke and begins to regain its original form.[31]

  • Mist: After slamming the target with an object, Niebel sends a giant wave of mist towards the opponent. The effects last for a certain amount of time and leave the target's area clouded by the mist. Niebel used this spell to enable him to escape from Miltz and the guards keeping Sieg locked up in prison, proving to be efficient.[32]

Last Moment: Used only in the battle against Jiero. This magic took caster's time in exchange for power. Niebel used a variety of powerful spells with this, like "Magic of Galaxy: Sword of Seven Stars". The magic of this was capable to fight equally against Jiero, creating the necessary advantage to Belnika and Julia finish her. However, Niebel's age accelerated until his very old. After the complete cast, the user becomes deceased. [33]

Space Magic:

  • Grand Chariot

Mind Scanning: Niebel has shown the ability to be able to scan people's mind. When Sieg Collapsed on the floor, after his battle with Haja, Niebel scans Sieg's mind and perfectly finds the reason for his sudden energy drain. Niebel then explains that Sieg only needs to rest, which is what he exactly needed.[34]
