He pays special attention to Guts who slaughtered Makara creatures under the influence of Berserker Armor,[1] and uses Hindu mythology references to describe his opponents, describing Guts as "Kshatriya of Durga" and Serpico as "Kshatriya of Vayu".[9] Eventually, the Kundalini was summoned by Daiba after Guts proved to be able to combat his abilities with the Berserker Armor and his own prowess.[9] A battle ensued, during which much property was destroyed and Guts companions' lives were threatened several times. The Kundalini was eventually slain through the combined efforts of Schierke, Serpico, and Guts.[12] Afterwards, he retires atop a Garuda, talking to himself about his failure and his wish to establish a great magic empire on the earth.
