Lamia/Synopsis

## Plot

Lamia first appears when she confronts her subordinate, Rebecca, after learning that several Grimzelia monsters have been destroyed, for which she demands an explanation. When Rebecca is unable to answer, Lamia grabs her with her tail and threatens to drain her bodily fluids unless she stops whoever is destroying the monsters.

### The Festival

After Lolivia, another one of Lamia's minions, is defeated by Yurina, Lamia assaults Rebecca once again as the latter begs for forgiveness. Lamia tells her that she will not tolerate any more failure and leaves her to take care of things.

Later, after Venomous Moon Jelly's plan to destroy Yurina fails, Lamia physically punishes her and threatens to kill her. However, Venomous Moon Jelly shows her three Grimzelia monsters that Ea Yuki had summoned, which catches Lamia's interest. Lamia then decides that she will capture Ea herself.

### Ea's Abduction

Disguised as a human woman, Lamia confronts Daigo, Yurina, and Ea who are on their way to Grizel Cafe. Once Ea identifies herself, Lamia reveals her true form and grabs and swallows Ea. Lamia attempts to leave, but is stopped by Yurina who wishes to save Ea. Yurina attacks Lamia with a flurry of Villager's Swords, but Lamia remains completely unaffected and even eats some of the swords. Seeing the fear in Yurina's eyes, Lamia decides to eat her as well. With one move, Lamia lands a decisive blow, piercing Yurina's body with her tail. Disappointed by Yurina's weakness, Lamia nevertheless proceeds to devour her. Once inside Lamia's stomach, Yurina attempts to destroy her from the inside out, but Lamia foils her plan by piercing Yurina with digestive tubes protruding from her stomach wall. However, before Lamia can fully digest Yurina, she is attacked from behind by Eternal Wind and is forced to spit Yurina out. Lamia then faces off against Eternal Wind and still proves to have the upper hand. After reflecting a blast from Eternal Wind's Brionac, Lamia manages to get behind her and pierce Eternal Wind with her trident. Lamia proceeds to torture Eternal Wind, but, after seeing her HP has depleted, decides to finish her off with her Head Chopper technique. Daigo and Yurina desperately attack Lamia, but she easily swats them aside. With no one left to oppose her, Lamia takes her leave. However, before leaving, Lamia senses a ghost-like being emerge from Yurina's body. Lamia turns around, but sees nothing and passes it off as her imagination.

Back at her hideout, Lamia spits out Ea and instructs Rebecca to make her summon more Grimzelia monsters.

### The Rankers

During a meeting with Venomous Moon Jelly, Lamia learns that Moth Lady has been defeated, leading her to wonder if Yurina may still be alive. Lamia and Venomous Moon Jelly also consider the possibility of a spy in their organization as many of the monsters possessing girls are being found out and destroyed. After the subject of Rebecca comes up, Lamia explains that Rebecca is vital because she is "nothing" and because humans have the capacity for growth. Lamia then dismisses Venomous Moon Jelly and meets with Kirino.

Some time later, Lamia and Kirino take stock of all the monsters who have joined up with them. While Kirino has her concerns, Lamia attempts to assure her by presenting a team of very powerful monsters, one of whom promptly discovers that Ami is the spy. By probing Ami's mind, Lamia discovers that she and a "Hero" are attempting to rescue Ea. Lamia realizes that Yurina is still alive and vows to kill her and anyone else who is helping her. Afterwards, she summons Ea.

### Ea's Rescue

After secluding Ea in a room and strapping her to a chair, Lamia forces her to draw monsters. As the Heroes invade her base, Lamia is informed that Hellfrogger has been defeated. Ea defies Lamia, stating that her friends will rescue her, but Lamia is unconcerned as the remaining Group-quest monsters are much stronger.

Later, Lamia meets up with Medusa who has defeated and petrified four of the Heroes, but has also shattered some of their bodies. At Medusa's request, Lamia consumes the shattered remains of the Heroes and reforms them in her stomach.

After the Heroes defeat Venomous Moon Jelly and rescue Ea, Lamia appears and denigrates Venomous Moon Jelly before she disappears. Lamia then leaves, telling the Heroes that they are not ready to face her.

### The Final Battle

After the Heroes defeat Rinko Yamada, Lamia appears, along with Rebecca and Kirino, and joins the other remaining monsters. Lamia and the monsters declare their intention to mate with Daigo so they may create a new generation of monsters. The monsters engage in battle with the Heroes and are ultimately able to capture Daigo. However, Lamia surprises everyone as she proceeds to devour him.

After Lamia swallows and absorbs Daigo, she transforms, becoming larger and having multiple tails with needle-like tips. She then pierces the Rankers with her tails and injects eggs into them, explaining that she absorbed Daigo's Demon King power so she could self-procreate. After Kirino explains their plan, Lamia turns on her and eats her, as she no longer has any use for her. Lamia then betrays and devours the other monsters so she can become stronger, although Rebecca has mysteriously vanished. Lamia's plan hits a slight snag as she is unable to inject eggs into Ea, Yurina, or Haruka since Daigo's will is influencing her. Regardless, Lamia continues to fight the Heroes, but her predatory mouth is forced open by a strike from Yurina and the Rankers invade her body to rescue Daigo. Lamia forcibly releases Daigo as the Rankers succeed, but the Rankers remain trapped within her and Lamia is able to hold onto Daigo's Demon King power. Also, as Daigo's will no longer affects her, Lamia injects her eggs into Haruka.

Soon after, Lamia injects eggs into Ea and Yurina as well, and demonstrates that she can use the abilities of the Rankers as she has absorbed them. The Heroes then locate Rebecca, who was hiding the whole time, and attempt to recruit her and use her Dainsleif to fight Lamia. Lamia attempts to demoralize Rebecca, but she finally stands up to her. Lamia attacks Rebecca, but is stopped by Ea, Haruka, and Yurina. After explaining the origin of monsters and Rebecca's potential, Lamia attacks and nearly devours Ea and Haruka. However, Rebecca, equipped with the Dainsleif, attacks Lamia, forcing her to spit them out. Lamia tries to fight Rebecca, but is quickly overwhelmed by her incredible strength. Outmatched, Lamia begins to retreat, but this turns out to be ruse as she pierces Rebecca with her tail while her guard is down. Lamia holds Rebecca in her grasp and explains that she always intended to devour her to absorb her power. After injecting Rebecca with digestive fluids to enhance her flavor, Lamia consumes her. Lamia absorbs Rebecca's power and transforms once more.

Stronger than ever, Lamia demonstrates her new power by sucking up pure matter with her mouth and then destroying Yurina's Villager's Excalibur. However, after receiving a special ticket from one of Lamia's former comrades, Haruka transforms into Eternal Wind. Eternal Wind challenges Lamia, though Lamia still has the advantage and easily grabs Eternal Wind with her mouth. However, Lamia plays right into Eternal Wind's hands as, once she swallows her, Eternal Wind uses her Hollow Wind skill to bring her back to the cusp of Lamia's mouth, effectively blocking it up. Although Lamia can no longer consume anyone, she still has the advantage as the Heroes have no weapons that can hurt her. However, Yurina is able to gain the Ultra Rare Chaos Caliber, which is capable of defeating Lamia. Although Lamia is able to strike Yurina with her tail, Lamia is defeated as Yurina pierces her body with the Chaos Caliber.

Defeated, Lamia is reduced to a small lizard-like creature and everyone she has consumed is released. Lamia then leaves with the other monsters girls to return to Grimzelia.
