The beginning of Priscilla vs. Luciela/Rafaela. Cutting the twin goddesses down to size. Summary: After disposing Dauf, Priscilla once again chases after Deneve and Helen and quickly gains ground on the two warriors. To try to hold off Priscilla, Deneve throws one of her swords forward to provoke a counterattack from Luciela/Rafaela. Priscilla is hit by Luciela/Rafaela's tendrils, but she returns fire with her own tendrils and shreds Luciela/Rafaela's outer shell. Luciela/Rafaela falls apart after Priscilla's attacks, but it soon transforms into a dark, grotesque, writhing mass that starts shooting out in all directions. All the trees that are touched by the dark tendrils instantly start to shrivel, and Deneve and Helen realize that Luciela/Rafaela's has the power to absorb the life force of everything it touches. While Deneve and Helen try to dodge the dark tendrils and stay alive, Priscilla flies towards the centre of the mass and unleashes her full power in an attempt to exterminate Luciela/Rafaela. Meanwhile, Deneve loses her right arm to the dark mass and cannot regenerate her arm. Deneve then turns back and notices that Helen has unknowingly dropped Clare. Helen and Deneve try to retrieve Clare, but it's too late as the dark tendrils from Luciela/Rafaela gets to Clare first. The tendrils pierce Clare and start to consume her body. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Looks like the clash between the two titans is finally under way. Priscilla has finally had enough of Luciela/Rafaela and has decided to get rid of the giant Awakened One once and for all. Luciela/Rafaela's twin goddesses form didn't last very long, but you can tell it's not really a combat ready form. A big immobile target isn't going to fare too well against Priscilla. I'm not too impressed by Luciela/Rafaela's new form, mostly because it's not terribly original. I've seen similar monsters in other series. Hopefully it'll still be an epic battle though. As for Clare, she is in even more trouble than before and is being consumed by Luciela/Rafaela. Given that half of Clare's body is already gone, I'm guessing Clare will have to save herself somehow (another mindscape chapter maybe). Or else someone will have to help Clare regenerate her body, and there aren't that many characters with that kind of skill. We all know that Clare can't die yet though. I wonder what's happening with Dietrich and her band of Abyss Feeders...
