About my favourite spell forever biggrin
The Giga Slave (Japanese: 重破斬, Kanji translation: Massive Destructive Kill, Romaji: giga sureibu) is a dangerous and highly destructive spell, one of the few which call upon the power of the Lord of Nightmares. As she is neither shinzoku nor mazoku, it does not belong to black or holy magic. It is Lina Inverse's original creation.
The Giga Slave may very well be the most powerful spell of all time, the perfect version's power annihilating anything unfortunate enough to be in its way. Even the imperfect version of the spell was able to destroy a piece of Ruby Eye Shabranigdu. Casting the spell is very dangerous, however. According to shinzoku sources, should the caster fail to cast it properly or lose control of it, the spell would destroy the entire world.
The notorious miscasting of the Giga Slave in Hellmaster Fibrizo's temple shed some new light on the subject. As the Lord of Nightmares explained herself, the spell brings her in person, not just part of her power, into the world. If the caster then loses control of the spell, the world will practically be at her mercy. Considering the Golden Lord's capricious nature, such an event needs to be avoided at all costs; because of that, Lina uses the Giga Slave only under the most dire circumstances.
Even if controlled, the spell puts an enormous strain on the caster, draining her pool capacity completely, regardless of its size. After using the Giga Slave, Lina's hair even temporarily turned white.
Lina developed this spell at a young age, presumably not entirely aware of its significance. She used some chants taken from a Clair Bible manuscript about the Lord of Nightmares and combined them with the incantation of the Dragon Slave, hence the spell's name. After learning the true nature of the Golden Lord from the original Clair Bible, Lina was able to perfect the spell, realizing its true potential.
Incantation
Japanese
闇よりもなお 暗きもの
夜よりもなお 深きもの
混沌の海にたゆたいし 金色なりし闇の王
我 ここに汝に願う
我 ここに汝に誓う
我が前に 立ち塞がりし 全ての愚かなるものに
我と汝が力もて 等しく滅びを与えんことを!
重破斬（ギガ・スレイブ）！！
The above is the Incomplete version of the Giga slave before Lina fully understood about the Lord of Nightmares. The complete version is the same but with a few changes inthe 3rd line:
闇よりもなお 暗きもの
夜よりもなお 深きもの
混沌の海よ たゆたいし存在 金色なりし闇の王
我 ここに汝に願う
我 ここに汝に誓う
我が前に立ち塞がりし 全ての愚かなるものに
我と汝が力もて 等しく滅びを与えんことを!
重破斬（ギガ・スレイブ）！！

DIRECT TRANSLATIONS:
"Darker beyond the Darkness, deeper beyond the night! Golden King of Darkness, drifting in the sea of chaos, Here I plea to thee, Here I swear to thee! To all those fools that stand before my path, with your power and mine deliver equal doom to all! GIGA SLAVE!"
Complete version:
"Darker beyond the darkness, deeper beyond the night! Oh Sea of Chaos, Swaying being, golden King of Darkness! Here I plea to thee, Here I swear to thee! Let all the fools who stand before my path, with your power and mine, deliver equal doom to all! Giga slave!!"
Software Sculptors translation:
"Darkness beyond blackest pitch.
Deeper than the deepest night.
King of darkness, who shines like gold upon the sea of chaos.
I call upon thee, and swear myself to thee.
Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed by the power you and I possess!
GIGA SLAVE!"

„Sötét világ, sötét lélek,
Ne várd meg, míg visszatérek!
Sötét káosz, sötét éj,
Gonosz szívem visszatér.
Sötétség ura hívlak téged,
Fogadd el az ellenséged!
Ígérem, hű leszek hozzád,
Jó harcosod, igaz szolgád!
Ki ellenünk van feje hulljon,
Égre sötétség boruljon!
Így ér véget a küzdelem.
Tűz ereje ím jöjj velem!
Kardom fogadd be a sötétséget!
Engedelmeskedj!
SZÖRNYBÉKLYÓ!!!”
Examples of use
* Lina Inverse used the imperfect Giga Slave in EP10 of Slayers to destroy Ruby Eye Shabranigdu. She kept it under control with the aid of the Sword of Light. She attempted to cast it once more during the battle with Copy Rezo, at Copy Rezo's urging, but was stopped from completing the spell by Sylphiel, who feared that the spell would go wrong and destroy the world.
* Lina Inverse used the perfect Giga Slave in EP25 of Slayers NEXT when she was forced to do so by Hellmaster Fibrizo. She lost control of it, but the Lord of Nightmares decided to spare the world this time.
* Lina Inverse used and successfully controlled the perfect Giga Slave in EP13 of Slayers EVOLUTION-R to destroy the "ghost" of Ruby Eye Shabranigdu. She kept it under control with the aid of the Demon's Blood Talismans; perhaps Pokota is to thank for Ruby Eye not withdrawing its power from them as Dark Star did during EP26 of Slayers TRY.
