Sorry for getting off topic, but probably you're referring to Rakshasa, gigantic races who can fight toe to toe against god.
Yes, power differences among dragon indeed very exaggerated, especially in Ramayana tale, which depicts dragons as incarnations of sun (Hell, that's way too crazy for a creature)[/QUOTE] Nope. Rakshasa is a very powerful race that dominates the world once. Indrashit, Ravana's son defeated Indra and humiliated him greatly. But this race still exists even after losing to Rama in Ramayana. Hanuman can eat the sun... He's too powerful. Garuda's very existence is like a swirling fire whirlwind that the gods have to beg him to suppress his own power before he destroy the universe. Naga represents the sea, while suparna (the Garuda race) represents the sun. It means curb-stomp battle. And suparna feeds on naga. It's so normal for a bird to catch snake as prey, with almost no chance for snake to harm the bird. ^^ Talk about over-exaggeration. ^^ The race I'm referring is a race of underwater celestial beings that are really good at using magic. Indra begs Arjuna (his own son) to wipe this entire race out of existence using the strongest astra Brahmastra. I don't think it's possible to compare Tigre to the heroes from Hindu myth. Also, Arjuna and Karna are demi-gods. Rama is an avatar of Vishnu. Hell, Chinese myth has a legendary archer that shot down 9 suns, leaving 1 left for us. The legendary figure who solves our global warming in the past. |

Element : Probably earth element, or water (but we already have ice, does it belong to water?) Form : I hope it's some kind of mace or hammer (weapon with over-destructible hit) |

Too bad no viralts in bow form. I wanna see the last Vanadis as bow wielder and making archer pairing with Tigre. |

Agree. I can't help but imagining her as busty blonde onee-sama from Queen's Blade. |

Finally hit Volume 5 Chapter 2. Elen discussing her plans concerning Lightmeritz (her territory) with Alsace in mind, as well as the economical and political ramifications of her goal for Tigre at the end of Chapter 1 (before the report of Lutetia's burning came in) was definitely noteworthy. Just when I thought this series couldn't surprise me more.

Besides, they're not meant to be used in general warfare, against normal humans. Veda skills are meant to be used against enemies that transcend human limits and recognition; against those enemies, armor is pitifully useless (dragons, other Vanadis, Roland's Durandal, Voljenoi/other demons) and will only help slow down and be more of a detriment than a benefit to a Vanadis. Think about it. Why would you bother standing there and exposing yourself completely defenseless to several soldiers wasting time gathering power for a single off-attack when you can just dance around them and cut them all down effortlessly?

Spoiler:
I'll come up with more when I actually do finish reading Volume 5. Duke Ganlon can crush a dragon's head with his fist if he ever felt like it; and judging from the context of the scene he mentioned it, he wasn't joking. His only fear is the 10,000 to 1 chance should Tigre use the power of the bow and blow him to kingdom come, as unlike Voljenoi he can't recover. That said, he's not "new", he's just passing the time and "having fun".
