Cancer: The Knight of the Crab
The Guardian of the Silver Sanctuary
Deathmask of Cancer
Deathmask is the Gold Saint who guards the Cancer Temple in the Sanctuary. He is a complex and often malevolent character, known for his belief in absolute power and his merciless nature. His fighting style is deeply connected to the underworld, allowing him to send his opponents' souls directly to the River Styx.
⚔️ Techniques
- 积尸气冥界波 (Sekishiki Meikaiha): The "Praesepe Underworld Wave" sends the opponent's soul directly to the entrance of the underworld.
- 积尸气鬼苍焰 (Sekishiki Kyōsōen): The "Praesepe Ghost Blue Flame" burns the soul with spectral fire.
- 积尸气魂葬破 (Sekishiki Konsōha): The ultimate technique that completely annihilates the soul.
🏛️ Cancer Temple
The fourth temple on the path to the Pope's chamber. It is infamous for being decorated with the faces of the warriors Deathmask has killed, reflecting his twisted sense of glory and power. The temple's trials are psychological and spiritual, challenging the intruder's connection to life and death.
♋ Cancer Traits
In astrology, Cancer is a Water sign, characterized by protectiveness, intuition, and a strong connection to home and the past. Ironically, Deathmask subverts these traits: he is a destructive guardian, uses his intuition for malice, and is obsessed with the afterlife rather than the home. His armor, the Cancer Gold Cloth, resembles a giant crab, symbolizing resilience and a hard exterior.
"The road to the Pope is paved with the faces of the dead. Your face will be a fine addition."
