Dragon Slave
From KanzakaDex
Drag Slave or Dragon Slave (Japanese: 竜破斬, Kanji translation: Dragon Rend Kill, Romaji: doragu sureibu; formerly ドラゴン・スレイヤー Dragon Slayer) is a black magic spell that calls upon the power of Ruby Eye Shabranigdu. According to Hajime Kanzaka in the afterword of Slayers Special 28, the official romanization of the spell should be Drag Slave, in accordance with the romaji, however this is rarely used, the form Dragon Slave being the most widespread even among japanese fans. Interestingly, the creators of the anime use a third form, Drug Slave on one of the promotional posters of Slayers TRY.
This spell is known to be the strongest black magic spell normally castable by a human without amplifying his or her bucket capacity; one shot can level a mountain or even a small city. It is also highly effective against astral beings such as mazoku. It is advisable for the caster to put some distance between herself and the target, as she can be easily caught in the explosion as well. When using the Dragon Slave at close range is unavoidable, the caster usually puts up a strong barrier beforehand, which still may or may not be enough.
The spell was invented by Lei Magnus, who originally called it Dragon Slayer. However, over the ages, the name of the spell was corrupted to its present form.

That which is darker than twilight
That which is more red than flowing blood
Buried in flowing time
In thy great name,
Here I pledge myself to darkness
To the fools who stand in our way
Merge your strength and mine
Deliver equal doom to all!!
DRAGON SLAVE!

Let all the fools who stand in our way be destroyed

Darkness beyond twilight

by the power you and I possess...

Heed me, who is darker than dusk
Heed me, who is more red than blood

So that we may deliver doom to all alike!

To deliver them onto the ultimate doom!

So that we may deliver doom to all alike!
