“My name is Ruud Ra Kan! I am the second son of the Demon King Sik, the true master of this world!”
 ― Ruud Ra Kan

Ruud Ra Kan was a demon in Lucid Adventure. He was the second demon prince and son of the Demon King, Sik. Along with most of the other demons, Ruud Ra Kan was sealed in the Demon World by the Ancient Knights after the demons lost the Human-Demon War.

Ruud Ra Kan was released back into the world along with other demons after the seal on the Demon World was broken by Nightmare. He served as one of the Generals for Nightmare and was told to stay in Jelly Village by No Name.

Eventually, Ruud Ra Kan engaged the Grass Roots Guild, forcing The Best Swordsman to his 100% True Awakening for the first time. After a long battle that involved Ruud Ra Kan getting Nightmarized, Ruud Ra Kan was eventually killed by The Best Swordsman.

Due to his actions and role, he is one of the main antagonists in the Beyond the Boundary Arc.

Personality

As a Demon Prince and a direct descendant of Sik, Ruud is extremely confident in his abilities. He considers himself the greatest warrior of the Demon World and always wants to be in the heat of battle. He felts slighted that he wasn't allowed to take direct action in the Great War by No Name. Immediately there was a chance to face a strong opponent, he excitedly rushed to their location.

Just like Ligos and other demons, Ruud Ra Kan looks down on humans. He feels it is an honour for the humans that face him in combat. During the Human-Demon War, he used to go on human hunts.

Ruud respects the strong, regardless of what race they are. Despite the fact that most demons look down on humans, Ruud has shown respect for the Ancient Knights because of their power.

He despises the weak and feels it is beneath himself to fight them. He was annoyed that Drip Soup and Cocomori dared to draw their swords at him despite what he considered weak swordsmanship from the both of them.

As a Demon Prince, he feels disgusted when compared to other demons that are not of his rank as he showed when he was compared to Ligos.

Relationships

Family

Sik

Ruud is extremely proud to be the Demon Prince and the son of Sik and believes that he is the true ruler of the Demon World.

Brothers

Ruud appears to have a competitive rivalry with his two brothers. He was upset that they were fighting directly in the front lines whilst he was sitting doing nothing in Jelly Village because of No Name's orders.[1]

Nightmare

No Name

Ruud begrudgingly accepted No Name's orders due to her freeing him and the rest of the demons. He felt aggrieved and disgraced that she had him sitting in Jelly Village while his brothers were fighting on the front lines which led him to refer to her as a "half-Bitch".[1]

Grass Roots Guild

When one of his underlings reported that humans were attacking them, Ruud was extremely excited to face off against humans once again after a 1000s of years. Apart from the Best Swordsman, Ruud was disappointing in the strength of the Grass Roots Guild members, especially when compared to the Ancient Knights.[1] He even felt offended that Drip Soup and Cocomori even dared to attack him with what he considered weak swordsmanship. When the rest of the Grass Roots members fled, he was intrigued by Choco Bibi's spatial magic.

The Best Swordsman

“...You're the strongest human I've ever met”
 ― Ruud Ra Kan

The Best Swordsman was the only member of the Grass Roots Guild that piqued Ruud's interest. Ruud Ra Kan was impressed with The Best Swordsman because he was able to counterattack immediately after Ruud kicked him into a mountain and also deflect his Dark Ball, although he was still a disappointed with his power when compared to the Ancient Knights. The Best Swordsman was the only member of the Grass Roots Guild that piqued Ruud's interest.

Skills & Abilities

Overview

“He has greater power than Ligos...”
 ― Choco Bibi

As the direct descendant of the Demon King, Sic, Ruud Ra Kan is extremely powerful. His power was far above that of a Named Monster. Bunny Turtle said that when he met Ruud, in the hundreds of years he had lived, he had never felt that kind of fear in his whole life. Such is his power that his rating appears as "???" and cannot be measured using the normal monster rating scale.

Choco Bibi theorised that he has greater power than Ligos, the 5* rated Demon that single-handedly defeated the Hardcore Leveling Warrior-Yopi Land-Grass Roots Alliance during the Subjugation Round. In fact, Ruud Ra Kan referred to Ligos as a lowly being.

Ruud easily overpowered the Grass Roots Guild by himself which included The Best Swordsman who had awakened 50% of his True Personal Attribute. The Best Swordsman said that Ruud Ra Kan was the strongest monster they had ever faced. Such was Ruud Ra Kan's power, that Choco Bibi had to flee with the rest of the group while The Best Swordsman had to use 100% of his True Personal Attribute for the very first time.

Physical Strength: Ruud has extraordinary physical strength. He kicked the Best Swordsman with enough force to send the No.4 Ranked player crashing into a mountain and case a small injury. He slammed The Best Swordsman with enough force to crack the ground.

Attack Speed: He was able to deliver two powerful blows to Drip Soup and Cocomori almost instantly before they could hit him with their swords, which sent the two swordsmen flying.

Speed: Ruud has displayed extraordinary movement speed and reactionary speed.

He closed the gap to The Best Swordsman who had deflected his Dark Ball instantly.

He was able to see Choco Bibi's Space Deletion.

Durability: Ruud's Durability is extremely high. He easily tanked a consecutive sword attack from Drip Soup and Cocomori as well as a holy mana shot from Tempest without suffering any damage. He caught a sword strike from The Best Swordsman who was using 50% of his True Personal Attribute and buffed his movement speed with Hero's Footsteps with his bare hands and did not suffer any damage. Tempest could not damage Ruud's body even when using his mana imbued with holy attribute that is supposed to be a demon's weakness, although Ruud did say that the shots stung.

Demonic Regeneration: Due to his Demon's Blood passive, Ruud has extraordinary regenerative capabilities. He instantly recovered from the fatal wounds caused by his own Dark Ball in just a few seconds; he was mostly broken bones and torn flesh before his regeneration.

Royal Aura: Ruud's crimson aura causes weaker creatures to feel absolute fear. The Goblins all cowered in fear when reporting to Ruud and even broke into sweats.

Immense Magic Power: As a high ranking Demon, Ruud possesses extraordinary magic power. His mana was so strong that The Best Swordsman could feel him approaching and tried warning his guild members of the danger approaching.. His magic attacks are so strong that they are even capable of completely overwhelming his own body's immense durability and resilience.

  • Overwhelming Mana: As Ruud Ra Kan drew on more of Nightmare's power, his mana grew exponentially. Cocomori said that just being in the same space as Ruud Ra Kan was suffocating.[6] Such is the power of his mana that Grass Roots Guild members that were unable to leave a single scratch on him before could severely wound him after they absorbed his mana through The Best Swordsman conceptual magic.[7]
