Lore
Downfall of Castle and Country
傾城傾国（ケイ・セケ・コゥク）
Magic ItemsWorld Items
A World Item in the form of a qipao, left by the Six Great Gods and now held by the Slane Theocracy; it can mind-control even targets with complete mental immunity.
- Appearance: a qipao of silver-white cloth embroidered in gold thread with an ascending dragon; in the anime the dragon pattern glows on activation
- It can mind-control even undead that are immune to mental manipulation, such as Shalltear, but it cannot charm targets without limit (Vol. 10)
- In Vol. 3, the old woman Kaire wore it and sortied under the Black Scripture's escort, intending to dominate the Catastrophe Dragon Lord, but ended up brainwashing Shalltear
- Kaire was gravely wounded by Shalltear's Purifying Javelin in the fight and confirmed dead in Vol. 10; its current holder is unknown
- So far, the only World Item confirmed in the New World in the main story (others appear in the side story The Vampire Princess of the Lost Country)
- Its name appears only in kana, at Vol. 1 p. 297; it is one of the legacies of the Six Great Gods, who originally held it
Notes
"Kei Seke Kouku" is thought to be a corrupted reading of "keisei keikoku" (downfall of castle and country); the author said he deliberately gave it an obscure reading so the name would not give away its effect.
