Granberia

Granberia, also known as the Swordswoman of Fire, is a member of the Four Heavenly Knights, taking part in the Monster Lord coronation battle royale in which a series of unfortunate events took place involving Alma Elma forfeiting the battle on a whim before Tamamo and Erubetie knocked each other out, but was defeated by Alice at the end. She was a dragonkin (dragons with humanoid appearances) abandoned at a young age, left in care of Salamander. She takes pride in her swordsman skills, and is said that no one can match her abilities. Granberia is also a master at the Cursed Sword style, which served as the basis for all of Luka’s skills, though its quite clear their mastery in it is far different from each other. She is also 24 and is easily the youngest of the Heavenly Knights.

An expert in the arts of fire, she douses her blade with it to deal sharp damage. However, despite her title and main elemental attribute, Granberia is also capable of using wind, earth and water, having mastered the power of water at the age of five as well as showing mastery of the wind and earth. She mentions that these abilities are “natural” for a warrior, and the “attribute it’s associated with is meaningless”.

She also despises the weak being bullied. When Luka faced her for the first time, she did not go all out on him. She also saved Sara from being raped by a Scorpion Girl.

As a swordswoman, she continuously holds back on her power and does not prefer killing others. She also longs to battle a powerful warrior.

Unlike the other Heavenly Knights, Granberia is the only one seen upholding her duties. She is known to be fiercely loyal to Alice, and most of Granberia’s actions are done under the Monster Lord’s will. However, like the other Knights, the monster swordswoman sometime does things under her own will, some of which Alice does not approve of.

Sara is in love with Granberia, and took the Sphinx’s Dragon Seal Trial in order to become her wedded wife (by law, a dragon can only marry if the human has passed the Dragon Seal Trial). The current Sabasa King does not seem to mind his daughter wanting to be with the Heavenly Knight.

Biography
Luka first meets Granberia when she attacks Iliasburg, believing that Ilias Village is a birthplace for heroes and a source of evil. Granberia demolishes two Guards while the third one chooses to flee. Luka is a bit peeved at this, since there is a “powerful boss in the first city” and not “something a little more… mid-bossy”. He has a choice: to confront her, or to stay hidden.

If he stays hidden, Granberia will tell him that what he did was wise and leaves to take over Ilias Village. Luka never sees Alice again and he decides to head home, thus receiving a Game Over.

Luka ultimately decides to confront her, only to tripped and mocked. He then uses Demon Decapitation, which surprises Granberia for such an “immature” boy to be able to learn a Cursed Sword skill. Granberia then asks Luka who taught him the technique, but he refuses to answer her. She delivers a powerful strike, but when Luka still refuses to give up information, she attempts to kill him, only to be stopped by Alice. She then berates Granberia for her actions (for attacking Iliasburg and preventing her from savoring the town’s Ama-ama Dango) and orders her to leave.

According to Alice at the very end of the Treasure Cave, Granberia views Heroes as some form of evil and wishes to take over Goddess Ilias’ shrine.

After Luka defeats Alma Elma on the voyage to Sentora, Granberia does not believe this fact until Tamamo confirms it. Granberia then leaves to test him again. Tamamo comments that Granberia is attempting to stop a nuisance before it grows, which seems unlike her, although Alma Elma thinks she is merely testing Luka.

The Dragon Swordswoman appears in San Ilia and demands Luka shows his strength. During the battle, Guards A, B, and C interfere only to be defeated nigh instantly, leaving Guards D and E in shock. Luka proves himself to her by using Demon Decapitation, Thunder Thrust, and Demon Skull Beheading. With that, she sees that Luka posesses some potential and leaves just as quickly she invaded.

Sometime later, Alice unintentionally sets the San Ilia library on fire, Luka lies to the guard, saying that Granberia was the one who burnt it.

At the Pyramid, Luka encounters Sara, unaware of her true colors. She reveals that she has fallen in love with Granberia after she repelled a Scorpion Girl, though the dragonkin merely replied that she doesn’t like the weak being bullied and leaves after revealing her name. Sara takes the Sphinx’s Dragon Seal Trial in order to marry her. With the help of Luka, they succeed, and she is one step closer to marrying her love.

She then attacks Luka again in Gold Volcano, who has “advanced twenty years” having acquired the elemental powers. Ignoring Alice and her duties as a Heavenly Knight, she no longer deems Luka as a nuisance hero to be crushed, but a worthy opponent to be faced. In battle, Luka uses the Serene Mind, causing Granberia to change tactics and also use Serene Mind, revealing herself to be only 24 and having mastered that technique twenty years earlier.

She then dominates Luka with her famous move, Vaporizing Rebellion Sword, despite Luka’s attempt to counter with Death Sword Chaos Star, and is left with severe burns and lacerations. With her opponent defeated, Alice convinces Granberia not to take off with him; rather, “not to harvest the fruit before it’s ripe”.

She appears again, by coincidence, when the Queen Elf attempts to kill Sara, and prepares to execute the Elf for disobeying the Monster Lord’s orders. However Sara stops her, stating that the Monster Lord would disapprove of her subordinates fighting each other. The Queen Elf then confirms her alignment with the Monster Lord, while Granberia states that the Monster Lord is trying to work on these issues. Queen Elf also gives information about a suspicious character named Black Alice, which Granberia then sheds some light on.

Luka and Granberia comment on how they have changed over the passing time, and she wishes to fight him. As Granberia prepares to leave, Sara jumps after her and is warped along with her as well. The Sabasa King reveals that he is aware of his daughter’s intentions all this time, and does not mind the next generation being ruled by a lesbian couple. Luka promises to return Sara in one piece.

At the Monster Lord’s Castle, Granberia acts as Luka’s final opponent. She asks him to show her the power of the Four Spirits. After seeing the powers, she is very impressed and compliments how his power is close to Heinrich’s and that he should be proud of it, however there is nothing to be proud of if he cannot win, especially with a foggy serene mind. Now even more determined to win, Luka boosts the power of Undine and is finally able to fight Granberia on even terms. Feeling bored, Granberia wants to see his true power, and orders Luka to use his strongest technique; Luka replies that Quadruple Giga takes too long to prepare, but she passes up her guaranteed victory and is eager to see his ultimate skill, waiting patiently and calmly studying his movements as he loads each spirit onto his blade. Being impacted with the power of the four elements, she collapses on her knees and promises her pledge of coexistence.

After Luka revolts against Ilias, the goddess lays siege on the Monster Lord’s Castle. Arc-En-Ciel easily crushes Granberia, as Promestein modified her to exploit the weaknesses of the cursed swordswoman.

Granberia (1)
''“A powerful monster of the dragon race, she is one of the Four Heavenly Knights. Devoting herself to the sword, there is nobody in the world who can match her flaming sword. Swearing loyalty to the Monster Lord, she takes great pride in her position. With a chivalrous spirit, she avoids useless violence against the weak.''

''Those of the Dragon race have an omnivorous diet like humans, but prefer semen. Even though Granberia generally doesn’t feed on semen, unlike fellow members of her tribe, she sometimes cannot help herself playing with defeated men in the rush of battle.''

''Believing strongly in her chivalry, she only chooses to associate with the strong. With an unmatched swordswoman like Granberia, it’s hard for her to acknowledge someone.”''

Granberia (2)
''“One of the four Heavenly Knights, Granberia is a powerful magic swordswoman. A relatively young monster, she has devoted herself to the sword. Widely known for her power, human soldiers tremble at her name. She’s proud of her skill, but has found capable opponents lacking recently. She’s anxiously looking for a capable opponent in which she can use all of her techniques against.''

''On the other hand, she dislikes weak people who take up the sword anyway. Due to the increasing number of poor soldiers, she has become worried.”''

Granberia (3)
''“The Dragon Swordswoman who is one of the Four Heavenly Knights. Skilled in flame-based sword skills, she devotes herself to her own training. Her weapon skills are said to be the most powerful among all monsters, with nobody coming even close.''

''Though most dragonkin raise their young, Granberia was left alone at a very young age. Along with Salamander, she traveled the world as a vagrant. As Salamander taught Granberia swordplay, she became like her adoptive parent. Though Granberia is more powerful than Salamander now, she has never lost her repsect or gratitude toward her.”''

Granberia (4)
''“The most powerful Cursed Swordswoman Dragonkin and one of the Heavenly Knights. Unmatched in the control of flame, even above her teacher Salamander, Granberia has no equal when it comes to fire based sword skills. Though it appears she has difficulty battling against Alma Elma for some reason.''

''Though she's incredibly powerful in her physical abilities, she seems to have an inferiority complex regarding her sexual skills. Due to that uneasiness, she appears to become a little too aggressive when humiliating men after their defeat. In truth, her sexual skills are top-notch, and her natural instinct as a Dragonkin along with her body itself could leave any man gasping in ecstasy.”''

First Battle
In the first battle, Luka must attack; she’ll disappear and then trip him and comment on his tactic. Enraged, Luka uses Demon Decapitation, however she avoids it. Dialogue insures, and Granberia leaves.

Using Guard, Wait, Surrender, or Request does nothing in particular and is merely lines of dialogue. If Luka Guards, Granberia asks why the hell he’s just standing there, and Luka adds on that it’s like he’s just waiting to be killed. If he Waits, Granberia believes that he’s screwing with her and beckons him to come. If he tries to Surrender, she won’t allow it for having challenged her. If he chooses Request, she’d ask if he’d think she’d listen to anything he says. Additionally, if Luka attempts to attack twice, he knows that half-assed attacks won’t work and he has to use Demon Decapitation.

If Luka uses Flail Wildly, she gets annoyed and renders him helpless with one blow, then picks him up to snap his spine. Her breath against his skin causes an erection, which Granberia notices. She rapes him with a handjob, then takes him back to the Monster Lord’s Castle to be used as a sex slave by its inhabitants.

Second Battle
In the second battle, she only wants to see his offensive techniques, so Luka needs to use Demon Decapitation, Thunder Thrust, and Demon Skull Beheading. Most of the time, she will just quietly hold her sword, but will progressively use dangerous attacks. After Luka satisfies her desires, she leaves.

After Luka normal attacks, Guard A will appear, only to be defeated by her Upper Slash while taking 287 damage and crumpling on the floor. Attacking a third time, Guards B and C jump in, and meet the same fate as Guard A; with Cleave, B takes 389 damage and C takes 375 damage. Guards D and E are shocked and do not attempt to interfere.

Using Meditation or Flail Wildly will only provide extra dialogue. For Meditation, she is slightly curious for being a healing technique, and she becomes a bit annoyed with Flail Wildly for fooling around.

If Luka continues to chip off her health, she’ll be disappointed and use Demon Skull Beheading * Blaze, instantly defeating Luka. This technique is required to complete the Monsterpedia and the achievement Took the Flames of Granberia’s Demon Skull Beheading * Blaze.

If he fails to put up a fight, the Guards run away and she rapes him with a footjob, then keeps him as a sex slave.

Third Battle
In the third battle, Luka must use Serene Mind; every other attack will end up being dodged. She Cleaves, but Luka dodges it, and attacks with Blade of Still Water. Shocked, Granberia also does Serene Mind and Cleaves, managing to hit Luka. After another Blade of Still Water, Granberia will hit Luka with Dragon Butcher Attack.

After the scuffle, she then attempts to end the battle with Vaporizing Rebellion Sword. Salamander chimes in and tells Luka that he cannot evade or block the attack; he must use Death Sword Chaos Star. Despite his attempt, Luka falls defeated, though this allows the story to progress.

If he fails to put up a fight, Granberia gives Luka a blowjob and makes him her lover.

Fourth Battle
In the fourth battle, Granberia demands that he shows her the power of the Four Spirits.
 * With Undine, she uses Cursed Sword * Decapitation and knocks him out of it, as it is still not in her region.
 * With Sylph, he may be fast, but she’s faster in reading his movements, and attacks with Bloody Fissure Thunder Thrust * Gale.
 * With Gnome, she uses Dragon Butcher Attack and reveals to be able to cut through defenses. Reminding Luka of the Monster Lord’s coronation, she had difficulty with Tamamo, and since then she trained hard enough to cut through a mountain.
 * With Salamander, she calls out for him to do Vaporizing Rebellion Sword. She then offsets all his attacks with Death Sword Chaos Star successfully. She explains his Vaporizing Rebellion Sword is merely an inferior copy of hers.

If Luka tries normal attacking, she’ll dodge it. If he tries a Cursed Sword Skill, she’ll do the same and hit hard, though she cancels out his Vaporizing Rebellion Sword.

With all Four Spirits’ powers shown, Luka’s determination increases Undine’s power. He uses it, and their real battle begins; he recovers all health and SP. She then goes all-out with non-elemental Cursed Sword Skills (Cursed Sword * Decapitation, Bloody Fissure Thunder Thrust * Gale, Demon Skull Beheading * Purgatory, and Death Sword Chaos Star), so return the blows with Serene Demon Sword and recharge SP with Salamander if necessary.

After chipping away half her maximum health, Granberia calls out for him to use Quadruple Giga. She waits for him to load it completely, and attacks with Vaporizing Rebellion Sword. Luka counterattacks and defeats her.

If Luka tries anything else, he becomes mercy to her whirlwind of barraging flames.

If Luka were to be defeated by Granberia, she carts him off to her room and gives him a tit fuck, then makes him her lover.

Granberia (1)
''“You were beaten by Granberia, one of the Four Heavenly Knights…? Unfortunately, there is no way you can beat her. However, if you use your strongest technique, you might open a road. …I can’t easily forgive a hero who uses the skill of a monster, though. Only for you, Luka, will I overlook it. Now go, oh brave Luka. Someday you will be able to defeat those four…”''

Trivia

 * Despite that Alice mentions no Heavenly Knight is stronger than the other, Granberia has mastered all four elements after losing the battle royale, and thus is speculated to be the strongest of the four. That said, she is said to specifically have difficulty fighting against Alma Elma in her fourth encyclopedia entry.
 * Currently, Granberia is the only of the Four Heavenly Knights whom has yet to rape Luka through vaginal intercourse.
 * Currently, of the Four Heavenly Knights, Granberia is the one with the most battles, being fought four times in the story.
 * Of the Four Heavenly Knights, Granberia is the only one who is not classified as royalty, because she is not (mentioned as) the leader / queen of her race.
 * Whatever happened to Sara after she was warped by Granberia has yet to be revealed.
 * If Luka loses in the third fight, despite the ending describing Luka becoming Granberia’s lover, the record count for “Endlessly sucked as food” is increased.
