Holocaust Scripture

Holocaust Scripture (聖典) is one of the Six Scriptures of the Slane Theocracy. Their job is conducting assassinations, guerrilla warfare, and counter-terrorism.

Background
The Holocaust Scripture is a military unit tasked with the role of protecting the home soil of the Theocracy.

Given their name and elemental significance to the Six Great Gods and the Six Scriptures, it's likely that the Holocaust Scripture follows the teachings of the God of Fire.

In the past, the Scripture used to have a member who reached the Realm of Heroes, but was transferred to the Black Scripture.

The Craftsman of Dwarf Arc
The Holocaust Scripture had been deployed by the Theocracy to assist in the war against the Elf Country, to help speed up their advance. Due to the elves being masters in forest warfare, they initially severely impeded the Theocracy's advance in the Great Forest of Evasha and holding the line. The elves were able to successfully prolong the war's progress longer than the Theocracy's expected at first until the Holocaust Scripture was deployed. upon the Holocaust Scripture being dispatched by the Theocracy, the war's progress rapidly shifted back to their homeland's side and the elves have now been gradually losing ground as a result.

The Half Elf God-kin Arc
A four man team lead by vice captain Schoen were dispatched on a mission to eliminate an obstruction blocking the Theocracy’s advance. They were sent to scout ahead of the main Theocracy force of 40,000 soldiers that were being hindered by a single young elven child who used a magic bow to rain a shower of many arrows over the army. To eliminate the obstacle to the elven capital, the team under the cover of invisibility, then used [Magic Arrows] to snipe the girl to death. Schoen was just about to loot the corpse of the magic bow, when the Scripture's primary target, Decem Hougan, arrived and informed him that the girl was his child. Though his child laid dead at his feet, the elf cared naught for her demise and only wanted to retrieve his bow and quiver he lent her. Despite their concealment magic, the elf was still able to see, and while he did not wish to avenge the death of his worthless child, Decem believed that killing them would relieve his boredom and so summoned Behemoth to attack the team. Schoen seeing that he was the closest to the Elf King and wishing to save his subordinates, sacrificed himself to buy them time. Though the vice captain attempted to block the summon's attacks, he was still beaten to a pulp.

Strength
The Holocaust Scripture is specialized in assassination, guerrilla warfare, and counter-terrorism. Though nothing is known about this group's strength, their power speaks volume for themselves as they were assigned the role of defending the Theocracy. Particularly, their primary defensive military force was dedicated for their homeland.

Their abilities as counter-assassins and anti-guerrilla warfare specialists are also seen during their deployment against the Elf Country. The Holocaust Scripture showed their proficiency in this specialty during the apparent dead lock in the Theocracy's advance to the elf capital. This was where after they officially entered into the battle, their contributions immediately increased their conquest's progress by a considerably greater margin than ever before. Further emphasizing the Scripture's skill in covert, guerrilla tactics to be superior to the Elves.

Furthermore, there was a member of the Scripture who had advanced into the realm of heroes. However that member was transferred to the Black Scripture. While currently there were no hero level members in the Holocaust Scripture, one of the main specialties of the Scripture was eliminating those who reached the realm of heroes through working as a team.

Holocaust Scripture was entrusted with assassination and counter-terrorism work that required them to be flexible. Their teams consisted of at least four members, each with different jobs, similar to the adventurers' tactics in the Kingdom and the Empire.

Furthermore, all members of the Scripture are magic casters and are required to have the job class Arcane Devotee.

Trivia

 * The name known as "Holocaust" written for this scripture group could refer to either destruction by definition or real life, historical event that had horribly transpired in Germany.
 * It is more likely, however, given that "Holocaust" itself translates as "wholly-burnt" from the Greek 'holos' ("whole," "entire") + 'caustos' ("burned," from 'kaiein', "burn") and its origins in Biblical convention to describe holy sacrifices purged in fire, that this Scripture group is concerned with the element of fire.
 * In the English publication of the Light Novel, Holocaust Scripture's name was translated as Firestorm Scripture.
 * Due to the Adventurer's Guilds were in fact created secretly by the Theocracy, and the adventurers used similar tactics to the Holocaust Scripture, it could be said that both organizations were brothers-in-arms.
