Background
Early Service
Before receiving her name, Videnina served Liu Zhi as a Corpse Soul Naga armed with bronze Longswords. After she developed consciousness, Liu Zhi named her “Videnina Ailanci Ider.” 47 65
Initially taciturn, Videnina assisted Liu Zhi's own sword training by offering pointers. She soon concluded that simply copying his methods was insufficient and began experimenting with multiple sword styles across her four arms to establish a path of her own. 65 68
She became Liu Zhi's principal protector in the Golden City and Underworld, repeatedly warning him away from dangers and positioning herself between him and threats. 74 76 194
Growth as a Naga
Liu Zhi equipped Videnina with Naga Universal Chainmail and gave her the Naga Training Manual, which specifically teaches Nagas how to grow from four arms to six. 114
Her attempt to absorb Ice Bone's Katana nearly froze her to death, but Liu Zhi continually used Gathering Spirit Technique until she completed the transformation into a six-armed Naga. 423 424
In Silent Ridge, Videnina found and absorbed the eyes of a deceased Eight-Armed Naga. The inherited power caused her to grow another pair of arms, giving her the eight arms that mark Naga royalty. 840
Naga Royal Status
Videnina's eight arms cause other Nagas to recognize her as a royal figure regardless of her lack of political interest. Her presence grants Liu Zhi influence over Naga factions, allows entry into the sealed Naga Imperial City, and activates its eight royal seals. 893 921 1288
Although the Nagas want her to remain as their figurehead, Videnina continues to follow Liu Zhi rather than rule the Naga Empire. 1291
Path to Godhood
Odin recognizes Videnina's potential in Valhalla and gives her guidance on both swordsmanship and the elementalization of an Eight-Armed Naga's limbs. He warns that pursuing ice alone would leave her vulnerable, advising her to develop multiple elements instead. 1185
At Level 14, Videnina faces three possible paths: Sword God, Guardian God, or Storm Goddess. During her battle against the Ghost King, she chooses swordsmanship, reaches enlightenment, and advances to Level 15 as Sword God Videnina. 1439
Appearance
Videnina is a pale, undead Naga with a serpentine lower body and eight arms, usually carrying a sword in each hand. Her appearance immediately identifies her as Naga royalty to those familiar with the race. 1142 1283
- Pale skin resembling that of the deceased. 1142
- Eight arms, the highest normal arm count attainable by a Naga. 840 1185
- A long serpentine tail suited for rapid underwater movement. 202 1287
- Normally fights with eight Longswords or Katanas held in distinct stances. 920 1452
- Can enlarge herself in battle to roughly four meters upright and nearly forty meters in total length. 1439
- Wears Naga Universal Chainmail designed to protect her vulnerable points without restricting agility. 114
Personality
Videnina is exceptionally quiet, usually communicating through gestures, expressions, or a few fragmented words. She speaks only when she considers something important enough to interrupt her silence. 74 840 1108
Her defining trait is her devotion to Liu Zhi's protection. She remains close even when he surpasses her in strength, refuses to prioritize her own quests over accompanying him, and instinctively places herself between him and danger. 799 1434 1527
Despite her reserved nature, she possesses independent judgment. She chose to forge her own swordsmanship instead of merely imitating Liu Zhi, led him to the hidden Naga city, and ultimately selected her own divine path without Liu Zhi deciding for her. 68 1287 1439
