Let's all fly away.
Summary:
Deneve and company arrive in time to stop Miria from awakening. Uma and Cynthia start healing/calming down Miria, while the others face off against Hysteria. Hysteria takes to the skies, but Deneve and company also "hover" using Anastasia's hair technique. Deneve and company rescue the two warriors that Hysteria had impaled and then Tabitha manages to sneak behind Hysteria and chop off her wings. Deneve and company think they've slowed Hysteria down, but Hysteria lands and states that the wings were too slow anyways. Hysteria starts to power up and Miria tells Deneve to dodge, but it's too late as Hysteria blasts into the air at blistering speed and rips off Deneve's left arm and another warrior (Nike? one of Anastasia's squadmates)'s right arm. Dietrich tries to hit Hysteria but isn't nearly fast enough and then Dietrich gets shot in the torso by some projectile. Back down on the ground, Miria realizes that Hysteria is propelling herself by firing the blades from her torso and using recoil to move herself quickly and suddenly, and that's the reason why there are suddenly so many impact craters on the ground. Hysteria's speed and movement reminds Miria of the time when Clare partially awakened to defeat Rigaldo.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The reinforcements arrive for the righteous, but as expected an Awakened no. 1 isn't going to go down without putting up a lot of fight. Hysteria's awakened form still looks ridiculous, but at least she looks more purposeful without the angel wings, and now we know what the ring of blades around her torso is for. Launching blades and using the reaction force/recoil to move is kind of neat and the flying blades are a deadly weapon, but I was kind of hoping for jet or rocket propulsion lol. Looks like Deneve and company have their work cut out for them even if they don't have to worry about Roxanne and Cassandra for now. Miria might have join in the fight again after she is healed up sufficiently.
wonder what's the purpose of the reference to clare's awakened form? maybe clare is going to return?
ReplyDeleteClare has to come back eventually, but who knows how long it'll be before she's back.
