The Demon King's Fragments (魔王の欠片) are materialized fragments of Guduranis' body/soul that can manifest a portion of his power. However, only an individual they recognize as the "main body" can use the fragments directly without eventually going insane. The [Demon King Encroachment Degree] skill measures the level of this mental encroachment. When it reaches Level 10, the host' mind is overwhelmed and the body taken over by the fragment.
Though they take the form of the body parts of various species, this is due to the fragments having mutated over the 100,000 years following Guduranis' defeat to match the environment around them. This means that they do not actually correspond to individual parts of Guduranis' body.[1] At best, Guduranis' had mutation abilities that allowed him to theoretically manifest all these forms. Only Vandalieu's composite soul contains all the individual fragments he has absorbed in their current form, alongside the remaining body parts of the four champions that his soul was originally composed of.
A number of human factions have sealed the fragments inside weapons, armor or accessories to create the Demon King’s Equipment.

The Demon King’s core is needed to hold all of the fragments together and resurrect the soul as Guduranis, and the Demon King’s life, which was needed for Guduranis’s fragments to function as a part of him instead of parasitizing other life forms.
