Summer Queen

* Dragon Body
* Human Form

**Ismenios** also more well known as the "**Summer Queen**" is the third strongest individual in the Tower after All-For-One and Nayu. She is also the founder and ruler of Red Dragon, formerly the strongest clan in the Tower.

## Appearance

As a human, she is stunningly beautiful and has silky, long blue hair. Originally her hair was red, but after her dragon heart was broken by Cha Jeong-woo, she started to lose her power. Her hair started to lose its original crimson red color and slowly degrade into its darker colors as her power faded, with her hair first being light blue, then becoming silver and eventually degrading into black.

As a red dragon, she is over 15 meters tall and 30 meters long. Her body is filled with thick red scales that could even repel the strongest attacks of weaker Rankers.

During her younger years first climbing up the Tower, The Summer Queen's Dragon Body was shown to be considerably smaller, having been able to fit inside the Shadow Dojo without a problem.

Later upon having the husk of her soul summoned into her Skeletal Dragon body, The Summer Queen was shown to still have the ability to transform into her human form, with her now only having black hair.

## Personality

As seen during her first appearance, the Summer Queen was shown to exude an air of grace, mysteriousness, seductiveness and elegance that added to her natural charisma. Despite this initial appearance making it appear she was somewhat of a non-threat, the Summer Queen was shown to also subtly emanate an aura of power and authority as well that made any who was before her subconsciously sense that she was a being of majesty. As seen where she was able to maintain the continued loyalty, devotion, and respect of Red Dragon for over a thousand years. Furthermore, a majority of her own clan members see her in an almost godly deified way that only deepens their devotion to her.

Due to her being a dragon, the Summer Queen was stated to be a natural leader and possesses incredible cunning and intelligence in running and ruling over her clan. As seen where she maintained full control over it ever since its founding and despite her slowly losing her powers due to her crumbling Dragon Heart. She still managed to remain in control and prevent any rebellion or betrayal through sheer cunning.

However, underneath her normally calm and wise exterior disposition, the Summer Queen is shown to possess an immense ego and sense of arrogance that bordered on complete and extreme narcissism. These traits were further exemplified by her current erratic and destructive behavior due to her damaged Dragon Heart making her more frantic and paranoid to quickly find a replacement for it. This extreme pride and arrogance was constantly stated by her rivals to be the most prevailing trait that only deepened their immense dislike for her.

Her arrogance, ego, and sense of pride were so strong that even the very thought of asking for help from others that were not her servants/subordinates infuriated and enraged her. As seen where she was stated to have greatly despised having to have asked and accepted the help from the other top 7 clans of the Tower to destroy Arthia. And again needed help to kill Cha Jeong-woo due to being unable to finish him on her own and even then to only lose her dragon heart. This damages to her pride were stated to have continued to enrage her despite technically achieving her objectives that even went as far as causing her to have severe nightmares and sleep deprivations due to having dreams about Jeong-woo continuing to mock her. Resulting in her harboring an immense hatred for Jeong-woo for having damaged her pride and frequently causing her to curse at him to vent her frustration.

And due to her pride, The Summer Queen was also stated to have developed a strong grudge against both All For One and Nayu due to the both of them damaging it. With All For One repeatedly defeating and barring her from ascending any further up than the 76th Floor of the Tower and preventing her exuviation, despite having attempted to overcome him for over a thousand years that cemented her place as the second most powerful Ranker within the Tower. Also, her feelings of immense hatred and jealousy towards Nayu for successfully reaching her level of power despite not even being a hundred years old in comparison to her and his own constant belittling and insults towards her.

For some reason, The Summer Queen was also stated to completely and utterly despise and hate her own race and loathes the fact that she was born a Dragon. This was shown during her private thoughts were it was one of the top three reasons for her stress and nightmares. Her hatred for her race was so strong that she refused to have or give birth to biological children due to not wanting to continue the Dragon race. Despite the military benefits having more dragons within her clan would bring.

The Summer Queen has also shown a level of immense hypocrisy in this matter as well. As seen where despite despising her own race and curses her fate as being born as a dragon. She herself takes immense pride in her immense powers and abilities exclusive to being a Dragon and would take full advantage of these abilities for her own benefits regardless. And despite refusing to give birth to dragon children due to not wanting to spread or restart the dragon species. The Summer Queen showed no hesitation to create dragon humans using her powers using the same method create by Kalatus to restart the dragon race.

Additionally, it's been shown that despite her hating her own race, the Summer Queen has shown contradicting feelings of immense pride at being the final "True" Dragon left within the Tower. This is seen during her attempts to acquire the Philosopher's Stone. In this instance, she felt that it wasn't right for her as the last Dragon, to die in such a pathetic manner or lose her Dragon Heart and be reduced to an overgrown lizard. Later upon being killed by Yeon-woo and her soul being captured by him. The Summer Queen again displayed her pride in being a dragon by feeling anger and humiliation. Mainly because she was killed by him and felt agony at the prospect of her body being butchered for armor, weapon, and magic materials. The Summer Queen was also shown and implied to possess contradictory feelings of loneliness of being the last of her race. During her rare vulnerable moments contemplating her fate due to being the last true dragon within the Tower and was shown to be confused by these feelings due to her hatred for her race.

However, despite her largely negative personality traits, the Queen has showcased a few honorable traits to her personality as well. This is seen where the Queen is shown to be indeed capable of possessing a level of admiration and respect for others if they prove themselves worthy to her. This is seen where she admitted to feeling a strong sense of admiration towards the One-Horned Tribe. Due to their strong sense of independence upon rejecting the divine powers given to them by their patron God. Furthermore, she was awed by their ability to still become a powerful force despite these disadvantages. She had even ordered her subordinates to avoid getting into direct, unnecessary conflicts with the Tribe out of her admiration and respect for them. The Queen has also stated to respect the Rankers who have proved themselves to be truly exceptional such as Erzsebet Bathory, De Roy, Faust, and the Chimeric Beast Lord, and took special note to remember them.

The Summer Queen has also shown to have a strong sense of honor after defeating a worthy opponent. In her own words, it was only right to leave their bodies undisturbed upon killing them and grant them a proper funeral and last rites as a final sign of respect for them.

As seen in her relationships with Waltz and Tom, Ismenios had a loving-mother-like relationship with her adoptive children. This is seen where she had her tender moments with her eldest adoptive daughter Waltz. Here, she entrusted her with her long-standing wish and was stated to have loved and trusted her the most of her adoptive children and has the most expectations and faith in her abilities to take her place as the Tower's ruler. She was also stated to have spoiled her youngest adoptive son, Tom, and gave him numerous of her priceless artifacts from her horde of treasures in comparison to her other children. This was due to him being her youngest child to help him bridge the gap in power between him and his 8 older siblings.

However, as admitted to her after observing the Last Dragon King Kalatus, whose actions ruined the Dragon Species due to losing his son. Ismenios herself made it clear that she loved and care for her adoptive Children is purely due to their necessity to her as her subordinates to control Red Dragon and helping her fight off her numerous rivals and adversaries and accomplish her goals, rather than a feeling of unconditional love a parent feels for a child born out of genuine love. With her finding Kalatus's actions of leading their species to ruin in an attempt to revive his son to be foolish and not a feeling or motivation she wanted to understand nor emphasize with.

Despite her disdain for familial relationships getting in the way of her path to power and domination, its has been shown that Ismenios harbors some strong, complex feeling regarding her twin sister, Harmonia.

As observed by Edora and Shanon, it's been implied that Ismenios harbors romantic attraction bordering on love for Cha Jeong-woo. This is seen where a majority of her actions upon becoming an unofficial familiar to Yeon-woo was that she herself is secretly desiring to properly reunite with him if the latter successfully resurrected his brother. She would later become enraged at Elohim and Bayluk after seeing their casual disrespect for Jeong-woo through their usage of his homunculus clones as disposable soldiers and her contempt for Viera Dune, with her stating that she never liked her before violently attacking her with her [Breath].

Later, Ismenios has hinted that she has now developed a level of attachment to Yeon-woo and is secretly plotting to revive herself and return to life using his power as the Black King.

## Background

During her early youth, the Summer Queen had survived one of the Obelisk's Great Wars, specifically the **"Great Second Dragon Extermination War"**. This war occurred hundreds of years ago that happened when the Dragon Species was the most dominant race within the Tower and ruled it as their territory. The War itself was started by the Dragons with the goal of opening a path back to the 98th Floor of the Tower and regain their race's status as Supernaturalists. Another part of the endeavor was to kill All-for-One, who was blocking everyone and anyone from advancing any farther than the 77th Floor.

This war ended with the complete extermination and near extinction of the Dragon Race. This event would have been considered wiped out and extinct if not for the young Ismenios and her twin sister Harmonia, who had both somehow managed to escape the carnage with their lives. And thus became the last living dragons known to exist within the Tower.

Since then Ismenios had continued to grow in power and soon become known as the "Summer Queen" and become infamously known as the second most ancient Ranker in the thousand-year history of the Obelisk. She was also confirmed to be one of the most ancient of Rankers to have entered into the Tower in order to try and ascend into Godhood. During her time climbing the Tower, she was confirmed to have joined a group of Rankers who had teamed up together in order to try and overpower All-For-One, who had been barring anyone to go up any further than the 77th Floor. Eventually like every other attempt, this raid ended in failure and the survivors were pushed back to the lower floors. Angered by this, the Summer Queen soon took over this group of survivors and formed her own clan that named themselves after her, "Red Dragon".

Eventually, during her thousand-year existence within the Tower, the Summer Queen soon made herself known as one of the most powerful Rankers in the Tower's entire history. She earned the notoriety of being the second most powerful Entity (outside of the Gods and Demons of the 98th Floor of the Obelisk) within the Tower only surpassed by All-For-One. And despite their being numerous contenders that could possibly overpower her, she persevered and maintained her position as the second most powerful ranker.

During the course of her thousand-year struggle, The Summer Queen was stated to have challenged and battled All-For-One numerous times, both by herself and with the support of her subordinates in Red Dragon. So far, all attempts to get past him and beyond the 77th Floor had ended in failure. Within every attempt she made, she was repelled by him and continuously pushed back in either defeat or being forced to retreat every time she challenged him.

Despite being defeated by All-For-One over and over, the Summer Queen persisted in her endeavors to beat him and her entrenching herself and her clan on the 76th Floor until she could beat him. The Summer Queen has stated that she had to battle numerous other Rankers who rose to power in the hopes of defeating her. She had fought against Vampiric Lord, Erzsebet Bathory, the Chimeric Beast Lord, De Roy, the Demonic Scholar/Hunter, and the Despiser of Light/Black Alchemist, Faust. All of whom left a lasting impression on her due to the unique powers they had in an attempt to overpower her. Erzabet with her energy drain ability, the Beast Lord and his qualities as a Chimera, and both De Roy and Faust having used the unique powers and knowledge gained by entering into a pact with High-Level Demons. However despite the plethora of unique powers and skills obtained by them, the Summer Queen, nonetheless managed to defeat them all in battle when they arrived at the 76th Floor to challenge her.

During her thousand years in the Tower, the Summer Queen had come to develop a strong sense of respect and admiration for the One-Horned Tribe due to their Independence and abilities. Originally the Tribe had been a species on par with the immense power of the Giant and Dragon Races within the Tower. They were also given immense Holy Power, Mugong Martial Arts, and Psychic Abilities by their original ancestor via his pact with the "One-Horned God". As such originally possessed immense standing and territory within the Tower.

Yet despite the immense power afforded to them. The One-Horned Tribe had instead chosen to abandon their holy power and leave the Tower willingly and settle within the Tower's outer districts. They did this, in order for them to free themselves from their ancestor's pact with their Patron God and instead chose to make their own destiny. And despite the obvious disadvantages and privileges lost to them, the Tribe nonetheless cemented their place as one of the Tower's Top clans using their own strength and ability. This instilled such a strong sense of admiration in the Summer Queen for the Tribe. She ordered her own Clan to avoid getting into unnecessary conflict with them when they didn't need to as a sign of respect.

However, this changed when the Current Martial King, Nayu began making his strides into the Tower. Originally the Summer Queen thought very little of him and considered him nothing more than a newbie beneath her. However, as he began gradually made accomplishments within the Tower, the Summer Queen began to slowly feel a sense of dread due to how fast he was developing. The immense progress he was making accompanied by her now starting to feel that someone else for the first time, since her reaching the 77th Floor and fighting against All-For-One and losing repeatedly, with the capability of becoming her equal was emerging.

Eventually, the two would indeed meet on the battlefield, where Nayu then made a point of enraging the Summer Queen by calling her an "Old Lady" and a "Dragon Thingy". Eventually sparking a destructive battle that actually damaged some of the Lower Floors and caused the Queen and the Martial King to develop a rivalry with each other. Resulting in the Queen beginning to lose her initial focus on overpowering All-For-One and get past the 77th Floor and instead begin focusing on the Lower Floors to fight the Martial King.

Eventually, the Queen realized that she had lost her original focus and goal due to her rivalry with Nayu. This caused her to then swallow her pride and restrain herself from continuing to fight him and refocus herself on defeating All-For-one and moving past the 77th Floor once again. Although despite re-prioritizing, the Queen still retained her desire to defeat and kill Nayu.

Eventually, after the Rise of Arthia and the other top clans banding together to destroy it. The Summer Queen and Red Dragon joined the coalition of clans and waged a united war against Arthia.

She was one of the five people that killed Cha Jeong-woo, where she had successfully contributed to the final killing injures to Jeong-woo and even managed to tear off one of his arms. However, during the battle, Jeong-woo had succeeded in severely wounding her and inflicting an irreversible injury to her Dragon Heart, an organ of paramount importance to a Dragon.

Since then the Summer Queen has been searching frantically for anything that she can use to replace her failing Dragon Heart, during which she became aware of the Philosophers Stone being created by Cheonghwado in secret via their subgroup, Arang. Desperate and running out of time as she had begun rapidly losing her power, she ordered Bahal to search and retrieve it for her.

## History

### **Volume 5**

She appeared at the 11th-floor headquarters of Red Dragon after changing her appearance.

She turned into a large red dragon and invaded Cheonghwado's headquarters, along with her entire clan, through the portal opened by the dying Saber God. As soon as she appeared, she triggered her Dragon Fear which neutralized all enemies below Semi-Rankers. She then let loose her Dragon Breath which annihilated half of Cheonghwado's headquarters, incinerating everyone in its path, even Rankers.

Enraged, Sword God, Spear God and Bow God attacked her giant body.

Eventually, as she battled the three Martial Gods, she immediately sensed the death of Bahal through their dragonic contract. This leads her to go berserk due to her only lead to the Philosopher's stone disappearing alongside him. Growing tired of having to battle them and losing patience the Summer Queen then secretly gave the signal for the Bow God to now turn against the other two martial gods. Leading him to activate his God Killing Skill against them and the two then teamed up together to kill the Sword and Spear Gods.

Eventually, after the war against Cheonghwado was won, the Summer Queen immediately ordered the Bow God to search for any leads for Bahal's sudden death. Simultaneously, she began to frantically search for any information on the Philosophers stone or any other equivalent item to replace her cracking Dragon Heart before she loses all her powers.

### Legacy

After her death, her clan Red Dragon soon dissolved due to infighting amongst its members despite repelling the invasion of the other Top Ten Clans of the Obelisk into their territory. Eventually being cut up into White Dragon, Black Dragon and Green Dragon, all of whom are currently fighting over the Queen's inheritance.

After her death, her soul would then be devoured and assimilated by Cha Yeon-woo in order to increase his power and potential. Kater her corpse would be butchered in order to create several items using her dragon bodies scales, blood, bones, teeth, and eyes. Her Skeleton itself would then be used by Yeon-woo as another addition to his undead army as a Skeletal Dragon.

### Undead Visage

During Yeon-woo confrontation against Bivasbat upon inheriting Hades's position as *King of the Underworld*, Yeon-woo would summon Ismenios's visage to combat him and save Jeong-woo's thought double. Ismenios's visage would then fuse together with her skeletal dragon dead body and combat her old enemy, successfully connecting to Yeon-woo's Philosophers stone to power her magic and displaying her full might when alive.

After Yeon-woo's confrontation with All-for-One, the Summer Queen is shown to be able to make small use of a small portion of the Black King's power in order for her visage to manifest in the living world. With her visage still having an anchor in the world of the living due to her slight attachment to Cha Yeon-woo, her strong attachment to Cha Jeong-woo and her grudge against All-for-One. This is seen where she apparently made a point of coming and going from the living world to gloat/argue with Yeon-woo out of boredom.

Later after Arthia officially revived itself as a clan, Ismenios agreed to help Cha Yeon-woo by operating the sky castle, **Laputa** for him while he and his allies visited the One-Horned Tribe's village. Ismenios stated that she agreed to help him under the pretense of wanting to learn more about the ancient magics and artifacts used by Kalatus. In truth secretly hoping to meet up with Jeong-woo once again, as noted by Edora.

Its been speculated by Hanryeong and Shanon that Ismenios is currently scheming to somehow resurrect herself from the dead using the Black King's power possessed by Yeon-woo.

## Powers & Abilities

As the founder and leader of the oldest and most powerful clan, Red Dragon and on top of also being a Dragon and the second eldest being within the Tower. The Summer Queen possesses absolutely monstrous power that easily surpasses the overall power levels of Rankers and Semi-Ranker within her clan. It even surpasses the power of the other six members of the "Nine Kings" with the exception of Nayu and All-For-One. The Summer Queen's powers and abilities were powerful enough that even when her Dragon Heart was destroyed, her being barely able to keep it from collapsing from inside itself and becoming severely weakened as a result, she still possessed enough power to fight on par with Spear God, Sword God and Bow God of Cheonghwado with ease and actually overpower two of them.

The Summer Queen was also stated to possess the ability to pass on or give her powers and skills to her subordinates. Having been known to lavish the members of the **81 Eyes** with a variety of different skills, powers, and abilities to empower them.

### **Dragon Authority**

As all born into the Dragon Race, the Summer Queen possess all the Authorities, Skills, and Powers of a Dragon. Furthermore, as a "Red Dragon", Ismenios was stated to have powerful volcanic and fire attributed draconic qualities and traits.

* **Dragon Body:** As a member of the Dragon Race and one of the most ancient Rankers, Ismenios's Dragon Body was stated to be immensely powerful. This is seen where her dragon body possess extreme physical strength to easily kill High Rankers with ease using her brute strength and even overpower members of the Nine Kings. Ismenios's Claws and Teeth were stated to be incredibly sharp and were fully capable of tearing apart almost anything. Her scales were stated to be so incredibly durable that they were outright to invulnerable to the attacks, spells and skills to average rankers and even High Rankers.
* **Dragonic Fear/Pressure:** Allows the Summer Queen to exert immense pressure on her surrounding area and make it her "Territory", with her Draconic Fear being strong enough to paralyze and throw even the most powerful Rankers into confusion and mentally attack them and her Draconic Pressure allowing her to exert immense force in the physical plane by just exerting herself.
* **Draconic Eyes:** Like all Dragons, the Summer Queen has access to their innate Skill of Draconic Eyes that allows her to see the flaws, weaknesses, secrets, emotions, and thoughts of whoever is within her line of sight.
* **Dragonic Wisdom/Knowledge:** It's been stated that the Summer Queen has access to the same innate wisdom possessed by the Dragon species. This grants her enhanced intelligence, analytical abilities, and tactical insight that greatly helped her in ruling over the Obelisk. The Summer Queen was also stated to access by the state of **Hochma** and access the immense collective knowledge compiled by the Dragon Race.
* **Dragonic Territory/Domain:** The Summer Queen has shown the ability to create her own "domain" within the localized area she is and gain complete control over the area's land, sky, sea, and mana to manipulate as she pleases. This is seen where she managed to take complete control over the entire sub-space of the Endless World of Night and make it her domain during her final battle against the Martial King.
* **Dragon Breath:** As a dragon, Ismenios possess the draconic ability to breathe out a powerful breath attack from her jaws while in her original dragon body. Her breath attacks were noted to be extremely powerful, with her being capable of emitting immensely powerful blasts of fire from her mouth capable of incinerating multiple Rankers with little effort and even overpower other members of the Nine Kings with little effort. Ismenios herself is capable of emitting and breathing out several types of fire from her breath attacks, as seen where she was able to use **Hellfire Flames** to incinerate the higher ranking members of Cheonghwado.
* **Draconic Contracts:** The Summer Queen was shown to possess several **Draconic Contracts** with her subordinates working under her in Red Dragon, specifically the top upper echelon and leadership hierarchy of the **81 Eyes**. These contracts seemingly gives the Summer Queen the ability to sense and feel the emotions of the 81 Eye's members. As seen where she was able to immediately detect Bahal's death due to her contract with him having immediately disappeared. Given that her contracts allow her to feel the emotions of her subordinates, it's also likely that the Summer Queen can also exert a level of control over them should she wish. Later as seen with Troy, The Summer Queen can look through her subordinates eyes and senses to see and sense what they are seeing, as seen where she looked through Troy's eyes and even used his skill's to see the Prototype Philosopher's Stone made by the Magic Tower and use his skill to see its legitimacy. Later it would be revealed that Ismenios herself had implanted her own draconic energies into each of her **81 eyes**, empowering and strengthening each of them.
* **Dragon Blood:** Similarly to Kalatus, The Summer Queen also possess the ability to imbued a normal human/demi-human with her blood as a dragon, effectively granting them the abilities of a half-dragon humanoid and drastically increasing their powers due to them now having access to the skills, knowledge, and powers unique to the species. The Summer Queen in particular is known to monopolize this unique ability to drastically increase her military power by constantly empowering her subordinates. As seen where several members of her 81 Eyes, the Nine Dragon Sons, have been transformed into Dragon Humans. Its been stated that the Summer Queen could freely alter and adjust the amount of Dragon Blood within her created Dragon Humans however she pleased, with her being able to increase the amount to increase the powers of her subordinate Dragon Humans or decrease the amount to weaken them. It's even been stated that she could completely drain them of the Dragon Blood completely and revert them back to normal humans. It was stated that due to the sheer vastness of her power, the Summer Queen had in fact divided up her power and gave its pieces to her dragon humans, effectively making them her "shadows". As seen during Trigger's death at Tom's hand and his power being taken by him, the power that the Summer Queen gave out to her dragon humans normally returns to her when they die unless it's taken by someone else. This in turn implies that the Summer Queen can forcibly take back the power she gave to them to revitalize herself. Currently she has transformed the following into Half Dragons: Waltz, Chimmy, Wales, Triger, Hyall, Leeso, Bahartan, San, Tom.
	+ **Spartoi:** The Summer Queen possesses the dragonic ability to create familiars using her flesh as a Dragon, with her being stated to have the ability to create powerful soldiers either through her dragon teeth or her dragon blood. As stated by Yeon-woo, the Queen had also further empowered her "Nine Dragon Sons" by also turning them into her Spartoi.

However, upon her Dragon Heart Organ being damaged by Cha Jeong-woo, The Summer Queen has begun to gradually lose her ability to access these skills and powers due to no longer being able to generate the necessary Mana to use them without a core mana generating organ.

### Skills

Tom stated that the Summer Queen could also freely manipulate these flames however she pleased and was stated to be able to use multiple different kinds of fires at the same time.
	+ **Hellfire Flames:** As seen during her battle against the Sword, Spear, and Bow Gods, the Summer Queen can utilize Hellfire Flames to completely disintegrate her targets. As seen where she completely annihilated a vast chunk of Cheonghwado's High Ranker soldiers during her confrontation with the Martial Gods.
* **Wind:** The Summer Queen also displayed mastery over the Element of Wind.
	+ **Wind Whip:** The Summer Queen was shown to be able to create multiple powerful whips made out of wind that possess enough speed, strength, and range to easily massacre multiple opponents with little trouble. As seen where the Summer Queen used it to slaughter Aether's entire regiment of subordinates who were all Elite Rankers from Elohim without batting a sweat and Aether himself barely escaping alive from the whips when he fled.
* **Polymorph:** The Summer Queen was stated to have the skill to freely morph her body into different forms. With her being able to shift into a humanoid form to interact with her clanmates and her being able to shift to her dragon form at will.
* **Spiritual Power:** The Summer Queen also showcased the ability to directly access the energies of her soul in order to forcibly convert and awaken her losing magic power. This is seen during her final battle against Nayu, who was in a panicked rage to acquire her much needed Philosopher's stone and being poisoned and weakened by her crumbling Dragon Heart and being poisoned by Demon Poison and losing a majority of her powers, the Summer Queen was able to temporarily reacquire her lost powers and abilities by accessing her Spiritual Power, allowing her usage of her abilities and temporarily regain her full power. However, this skill came at the extreme risk of her separating her soul from her physical body.
* **Blue Summer:** This Skill was stated to be a Legendary Skill possessed by the Summer Queen. As an Ultimate Skill, it's been stated that [Blue Summer] itself is a skill that is completely and utterly unique to the Summer Queen and the skill itself could not be fundamentally be taught, passed, or inherited to anyone else and was a skill belonging to Ismenios alone. It's been stated that should Ismenios successfully exuviate, this skill will immediately evolve into its own unique [Power] and transform into her own [Divine Authority].

### Magic

Due to her status as a Dragon and one of the most powerful ones in existence, the Summer Queen has access to all of the basic elements and has shown to have extreme mastery over them when casting spells to the point that she could easily cast and use several of the most powerful and destructive spells at the same time at the peak of her power.

* **Blizzard:** The most powerful and destructive Ice-type magic.
* **Inferno Hell:** The most powerful and destructive Fire-type magic.
* **Meteor Strike:** One of the most destructive magics within the Tower that allows its caster to literally summon and hurl a meteor towards their opponent(s)
* **Power Ward of Kill:** The most powerful Ward magic that presumably kills whoever's caught up in it.
* **Dispel Magic:** The Summer Queen also possessed her own version of Dispel magic that allowed her to dispel the magic of others. The Summer Queen was able to pass this magic on to her eldest daughter,Waltz.
* **Loop of Subordination:** The magic that she used to bind and control her **81 Eyes**. This magic allowed the Summer Queen to gain a level of control over her subordinates, even allowing her to remotely kill them should they go against her or if she deems it necessary. However, in exchange, this magic was stated to allow her to share some of her powers with them.

### Holiness

During the last years of her life, Ismenios was able to successfully acquire her own holiness through thousands of years of training, research, and combat experience after evolving herself into a suitable level. Holiness itself was a condition to acquire "Ascension" into godhood, hinting that Ismenios had already begun ascending to becoming a transcendent being.

### Undead Spirit

Later after being killed and her soul collected by Cha Yeon-woo, The Summer Queen was stated to have lost a chunk of her original power. However, despite her state as nothing more than a spirit, The Summer Queen was still noted to be fantastically powerful. As seen where she had managed to struggle when trapped inside the Despair of the Black King and actually retain her own independent thoughts from Yeon-woo and actually communicate with him despite not being called upon.

Later upon being let out of the bracelet, the Summer Queen was noted to still retain a few of her skills despite her power loss, as seen where she was still able to use her Draconic Eyes to identify Yeon-woo as a separate individual from Jeong-woo. Her corpse would then be used by Yeon-woo to create powerful undead and later her visage would be called upon by Yeon-woo.

* **Skeletal Dragon:** Later her body would then be used by Yeon-woo for resources, with her bones, meat, blood, scales, eyes, and teeth being completely separated from her corpse and her skeleton transformed into a Skeletal Dragon as an Undead Minion for Yeon-woo usage under Boo. As noted by its first battle against Iron Lion, The Queen's corpse has still retained its power and was able to project powerful **Dragon Fear** to paralyze and slaughter several Rankers. Later combined with Shanon, the Skeletal Dragon was shown to be powerful enough to fight against Iron Lion's Leader Ivan and nearly kill him by using **Poison Breath**.
* **Visage:** Later upon having the husk of her soul summoned by Yeon-woo from the afterlife and her fusing with her Skeletal Dragon Corps to fight All-for-One, The Summer Queen was able to completely showcase her extreme power as one of the Nine Kings and had access to all of her magic, skills, and powers when she was at her peak. She was then able to pressure and fight off All-for-One together with Faust. Upon escaping All-for-One, the Summer Queen showcased that she could also transform into her human form and later was able to heal Yeon-woo of his divine sickness fever. As revealed later in the story, The Summer Queen is shown to be able to use a small portion of the Black King's power for her visage to manifest in the living world once again. With her making a point of coming and going as she pleases in order to pick fights with and annoy Yeon-woo out of boredom. Yeon-woo himself has stated that he was powerless from stopping her from doing so. Ismenios herself has been stated to be bound to Yeon-woo and she has now unofficially become one of his familiars, albeit it is evident that she is not as tightly bound to him as the rest of his familiars and she is free to refuse and reject his orders if she desires.

## Items

Ismenios was noted to have hoarded and gathered an extremely large horde of priceless artifacts that she collected and obtained over her thousands of years of life within the Tower. So much so that she possessed several storage sub-space Internians filled with treasures that her losing one or two of them was considered a negligible loss. Brahm himself was amazed at the number of artifacts, materials, and books of magic that she had collected after seeing just the contents of just one of her Internians.

The Summer Queen had also given numerous powerful Artifacts to her youngest adoptive son, Tom to help him bridge the gap in power between his older adoptive siblings.

## Trivia

* Originally the Summer Queen's hair was bright red, however, upon having her "Dragon Heart" damaged during her final battle against Cha Jeong-woo, her heart was damaged by him. Resulting in her gradually losing her power, with her hair having turned blue and continued to change into darker colors as an indicator of how weak she was becoming.
* For some reason, the Summer Queen is stated to despise and hate her own race. This hatred was stated to be so strong that she outright refused to have or give birth to biological children of her own in order to revitalize the now extinct dragon race, despite the advantages and immense military power of having other Dragons/Dragonic Humans as members of her Clan.
	+ However despite this, just like the Ancient Dragon Kalatus, she has instead passed on her "Dragon Blood' to other compatible humans in order to empower them. Having so far transformed and empowered Nine members of her Clan into Dragonoid Humans.
* Its been stated that Red Dragon cannot function without the Summer Queen due to a large amount of their power and influence primarily came from her leadership and her empowerment to her subordinates with special skills that only she could provide, resulting in the Clan becoming increasingly destructive and frantic in saving her and replacing her lost dragon heart.
* The Summer Queen's True Name "**Ismenios**" is seemingly based on the Greek Myth of the The Drakon Ismenios (Ismenian dragon), a giant serpent/dragon which guarded the sacred spring of Ares near Thebes who was also Ares's Draconic Son.
	+ Ismenios's twin sister Harmonia also shares the same theme, as Harmonia was the goddess of harmony and concord and also a daughter of Ares, who was transformed into a serpent alongside her husband, the Greek Hero Cadmus.
