Also known as the Red Dragon Emperor's Gauntlet, it is one worn by users of holy gears. Listed as one of the original thirteen Longinus, specifically a mid-level Longinus, he has the spirit of the Welsh dragon, Ddraig, residing within him. In the past, Ddraig fought his arch-rival, the Vanishing Dragon, Albion, in a battle that was interrupted by the Angels, Demons, and Fallen Angels who were at war at the time. The two dragons dared to attack the leaders of the Three Factions, which led to their two bodies being destroyed and their souls being sealed into two Sealed Sacred Gears, with Ddraig Boosted, or "Equip Boosted", a Sacred Gear that is increasing if it is became one of eighteen varieties of Longinus.
Y Ddraig Goch[edit]
Ddraig is one of the Two Heavenly Dragons and the arch-rival of Albion. He is called the Red Dragon known as Welsh Dragon, Y Ddraig Goch, Red Dragon Emperor and Red Dragon Emperor of Domination, who resides within the Longinus, Boosted Gear wielded by his character. He is feared among Angels, Fallen Angels, Demons and the various other factions of the world for his destructive powers, said to be capable of killing gods and satan.
