In another room created by Captain Paige's Safeguard Aegis, Dilla faces the harpie known as Podarge the fleet of foot.
Dillia is using her clones to fight off Podarge whos flying in the air. She uses her clones to shoot herself up at Podarge while she's flying in the air. Dillia begins to dodge all the sword swings Podarge makes. As Dillia makes her way back to the ground surrounded by her clones.
"You're a quick and nimble one, aren't you? The use of these clones is very annoying I can't which one is the real you." Podarge remarks.
Dillia stares on.
"Why don't you display some offense? All I've seen from you is your creative and strategic way of fighting. With your calculated maneuvers and dodging. It's as if you're analyzing my moveset arent you?
Dillia's eyes widen "She found that out." Dillia says. "Sorry to disappoint you mage but-"
Podarge throws one of her long swords like a spear down at Dillia on the ground. "She threw her sword?" Dillia was surprised by this unorthodox method. "She won't be able to know which one is the real on-" the sword lands right in front of her.
"There you are," Podarge says as she picks up Dillia and flies her up in the sky. At the highest point, Podarge drops Dillia and makes a straight dive into her with her swords about to make an x-slash attack.
CRASH.
Podarge slams Dillia into the ground as it making a crater.
Dillia seems to be lifeless as Podarge lifts her blades from Dillia.
"Well, that was fun. You should learn how to hide your facial expressions it's a huge giveaway from the real vs clone. Huh," Podarge was shocked Dillia blocked the sword attack with her arms.
"Very durable skin I see like a dragon," Podarge says as she creates distance between herself and Dillia.
"Are you perhaps a Drago Mage? If you are it's very interesting to one go on a reserved and tactical way of fighting. Usually, Drago Mage goes off the charts with the nonstop offense. Furthermore, aren't Drago Mages male I rarely hear of a female one."
"You see I tried to defeat you tactically and strategically first but those plans may have to change" Dillia slowly stood up dusting off herself. "It doesn't matter if I am male or female I will do everything in my power to protect Alice," Dillia says.
"Her magical energy seems to be getting stronger. Somethings coming." Podarge concerned.
"I haven't used this in a while hopefully am still good at it," Dillia questions herself. She sticks out her hand "COME to me Siegfried."
Dillia closes her eyes as she reminisces about a key memory from the past.
A young Dillia meets Alice for the first time.
"Alice this will be your knight or bodyguard if you will. Dillia Drake from the family." A stern deep voice says. Holding Alice's hand as she introduces her to Dillia.
Dillia steps forward "A pleasure to meet you milady" bows.
"Pleasures mine," Alice responds.
"Hopefully she can be of use since she is a female knight. I hope she doesn't drag your daughter down or the family down." A voice says.
Dillia's face then turned into sadness.
Moments later Dillia trains on the training ground at the mansion.
Alice walks in on Dillia's training.
"Hey Dillia are you doing alright?"
Dillia continues to strike and train.
"You know it doesn't matter if your are a female or not. Don't listen to others and stay focused on yourself. If it makes you better you can dress up as a male from here on to the public."
"Are you sure?" Dillia asks,
"Yes, anything is fine to make you feel better."
As the two bonded with one another and their connection grew close.
One day while they were training.
While training in her battle armor. Dillia gets too into the battle with Alice to the point where she gave her a cut. "Am so sorry milady I will never wield this blade again."
"No no, it's alright Dillia it's fine." Alice uses her flames to heal her wound. "See"
From that point on Dillia didn't activate Siegfried instead resorting to more stealth and tactical moves. Learning how to sneak, create shadow clones, hand-to-hand combat, and such.
"Is there a reason why Lady Dillia hasn't used her Drago Magic?" Sir Lorzeno wonders.
"It's probably because she believes she'll get to bloodlust and lose control again."
Jump forward to after the Temple incident.
"Dillia why didn't you use Siegfried against that stupid girl," Alice demands.
"I didn't want to go crazy again and accidentally hurt someone from the school," Dillia responds.
"But what about you? You have to protect yourself. If there comes a situation where you must use it. Please I dont want to lose anyone close again. When I saw your lifeless body I lost control myself. " Alice pleads. As the two share a moment.
"You are my knight Dillia, My Bodyguard, My best friend, I dont know what I would do if I lost you too" As the two hug one another.
Back to the present time.
A sword then appears in front of Dillia a silver with a dragon engraved on it.
Dillia points her sword at Podarge "This is where the differences in our strength will differ I Dillia Drake the knight of Princess Alexandria shall execute you."
As Dillia charges at Podarge with killing intent.
Creating flaming slashes from her Siegfried.
"She gained a sword not only that she seems a bit more aggressive."
"Ah "Podarge notices little burns on her. "Where is this from her sword but it didn't even touch me. Unless." Podarge examines her sword's movements closely. "Wait it's an over-."
Dillia Drake Ability Explained: Knight of Siegfried
Siegfried is a sword made straight outta dragon scales. This blade allows its user to dawn a special dragon armor. The special ability about this sword is that it has an overlay effect where whichever direction this sword is swinging there will be as if it was swung in the other. Basically, if the sword is swung right it also feels like it swung left. It can hit all directions leaving a burning effect behind.
Dillia with a crazed look on her face as she enjoys slashing and slowly chipping at Podarge's blade. "If this keeps up-," Podarge thinks.
BOOM! Dillia looks on and sees Alice's flames ignite within the tornado.
"You have grown strong Lady Alice but what of me?" Dillia questions herself.
"It seems one of your own has defeated one of my sisters. You guys must be formidable opponents?" Podarge asks.
"Yes of course we are strong. We are the ones that will stop the destruction of this world." Dillia says.
"Well if you can make it past me ." Podarge remarks.
"We're just having a normal conversation right now. I don't sense any intent of bloodlust. What is it waiting for?" Dillia looks around the environment. "Were barricaded within our section so no help is coming. Maybe she's waiting for me to make a move first?" Dillia wonders.
Suddenly Podarge energy begins to grow stronger. "What is this power?" Dillia wonders.
Podarge giggles "Ah thank you so much sister I now have the power to defeat this one".
She's now implementing wind magic to her moveset? "Dillia asks herself. As Podarge seems to have mini air currents by her. "Is it possible when the harpies get defeated they grow stronger and gain the other's attacks?"
"Well, it's time to end this" Dillia plants Siegfried into the ground.
"Awaken Siegfried!!" Dillia commands.
