> **Gilzea** to Woltekamui, Lighting God

**Gilzea** (ギルゼア, *Giruzea*?) is the Dragon Monarch of the Clawed Bloodline and the strongest dragon alive.

## Personality

Gilzea addresses herself in the highest of terms as she's the strongest Dragon alive and thus fears nothing.

Out of all the Dragon Monarchs, Gilzea is the most detached from the Dragon-Human War as she's more interested in finding worthy disciples and passing on her fighting arts to them.

As a result of this, not only does she constantly roam the Earth and rarely visits her fellow Monarchs, but she doesn't even have her own traditional bloodline of dragons, only a group of disciples.

## Biography

### Background

A few decades before the current events, Gilzea decided to entertain her curiosity on who killed one of her disciples and took their Claw. Gilzea was intercepted by Woltekamui, who felt her incoming presence from 100km, and attacked her in a flash attack but instead only he suffered injuries. Kamui, completely confused, questioned who she was and she introduced herself as the Clawed Monarch. Kamui though she came to avenge her disciples but she cleared the mistake as she only wanted to know who killed her disciple and before departing she told him he could do what he wished with the Claw. Kamui tried to sever her head from the back but it only resulted on his head being severed, in that instant he understood her magic and Gilzea congratulated him personally for his wittiness. Gilzea changed her opinion on him and suggested to him that if he wanted to cut her down he would need to sharpen his strength on someone as strong as him.

### Return to the Royal Capital Arc

Gilzea. not too far away, witnessed Woltekamui's death and recognized Ragna's attack as capable to kill even her.

### Leonica's New Journey Arc

Gilzea, after hearing Leonica's statement on her becoming the strongest, showed up and confronted her. Her presence alone wasn't without consequences, all the refugee from Lonavera simply died because of her presence and those very few who didn't completely forgot the event to keep their sanity. Gilzea invited Leonica to meet her again after 10 days and if she was able to keep her eyes on her, she would take Leo in as a disciple. Leonica, followed by Sykes, the only two who were able to keep their memories and survive, met her again and passed her challenge. Gilzea was delighted by the event and presented them her other disciples she just took in the day before, Nebulim. Afterwards they departed to the continent of America to train under her.

## Equipment

Gilzea travels around with the 2 Fangs from her collection of 8 demonic weapons created by her.

## Power & Abilities

**Superior Dragon**: The most dangerous type of Dragons, not only are they far sturdier than the more common ones, but they also possess outstanding regenerative-healing processes as well as magic powers that're beyond human comprehension. Superior Dragons harness their incredible power from their heart and blood, the source of all their magic; however, this is also the root of their weakness to sunlight and silver. Superior Dragons are also capable of changing their form, from a simple humanlike one (of which they're more accustomed) to their full draconic form which allows them to manifest their full power.

**Dragon Monarch**: A human who's been chosen directly by the Dragon God to follow its will, and the only beings capable of communicating with it. As the Dragon Monarch, they can establish their own bloodline of powerful Dragons which will support their mission unconditionally. However, Gilzea refuses to create a kin by blood, her "bloodline" being made up of anyone she deems worthy and who're learning, or have learnt, her martial arts.

**Causality Inversion Magic**: Gilzea is capable of reversing the cause and effect of any attack used against her. An example of this would be if someone were to cut her, an inversion will occur in the opponent will have been cut by Gilzea instead. The only weakness of this magic is a more powerful strike which is faster than Gilzea can perceive.

**Insanity Aura**: Gilzea's existence alone is able to drive most creatures insane; those too weak simply die while those lucky enough forget her existence in order to maintain their sanity. Only those with strong enough wills can maintain their sanity in front of her and those who can manage such a feat are the ones Gilzea deems worthy of joining her bloodline.

**Master Martial Artist**: Gilzea is the creator and master of her own supreme style of martial arts, which she will only teach to those whom she considers worthy of learning it.

**Master Smithy**: Gilzea created 8 demonic weapons, known as "6 Claws and 2 Fangs", which are considered to be the strongest weapons on Earth. The demonic weapons change their properties to accentuate the owners' strength, so they would become above average weapons in the hands of a regular person while in someone's powerful hands they would become power-type swords or in the hands of a technical fighter they would become something which would help execute the fighter's skills to perfection. These weapons are given only to the ones she considers most worthy after learning her martial arts and thus joining the Kinsmen of Claw.
