Alicia's compatibility will rise and her face will go back to normal. However it will constantly shift as her evil awakened soldier side manifests itself to taunt Helck much like how Zellzion was when he first awakened. Edil becomes Bass. Cless regains consciousness and somehow finds himself able to free people from the King's rule. Azudora pops out of a flower, close to death but still alive.

Wow, one of my terrible writing predictions was somewhat kinda correct after all.

So, was Azudora's power Earth or plants?

Rafaed isn't so much edgy as he's just given in, in my opinion. He will be saved.

Also am I alone in kinda hoping Alicia's weird eye isn't fixed once she is saved? It has no effect on Helck's love and keeping the consequences of the humans' actions around once it's all over would be good.

Assuming being saved involves returning to non-superhero levels, wouldn't that end up leaving her incredibly dead?

Wow the last couple chapters were starting to slip into shounen tropes but this just turned the dial up to 11, in a really good way. This is approaching TTGL levels of BURNING SPIRIT.

edit: but I don't get what happened on this page, did the bad guy get repelled by Helck's resolve or was there an actual attack...?

Uh, which panel in particular are you referring to? There's no attack. Rafaed's charging something up on the first panel with Alicia flying above, Rafaed sees Helck's determination and how he's not giving in despite facing off against Alicia, knows he doesn't stand a chance against Helck, and then gets the heck outta Dodge.

Oh now I see that spiky energy coming from off panel is from the spell he was about to use, not from Helck.

I don't know how to feel about the direction the series is going to take after this last chapter. Not that I expected anything different, just thought it would've taken a bit longer to reach this point.
If this ever gets canceled, I wonder how the autor is going to handle exposing the rest of the world.

She's been second-guessing and doubting since the very first chapter, so it's gotta feel pretty nice to finally feel in control again.

Rafaed isn't a victim, he is one of the dudes who started all this. He has spoken to the king and Mikaros as equals in every scene they have been together.

Terper
Jun 26, 2012


If I had to make a guess on Rafaed's backstory, he was probably an idealistic young noble who thought he could fix all the world's problems, was faced with the corruption and cruelty of man and fell into despair, and Mikaros and the King basically "convinced" him further because they needed his daughter for the spell. He's so intent on having Helck give up because he sees himself in Helck and is convinced the world will destroy Helck the same way it did him. Throughout their encounters, he's been telling Helck to just leave it all behind and forget and live the rest of his life in peace.

He's not a victim of his own plans, of course, but he's a victim nonetheless.

e: Well I guess you could make the argument that he's a victim of his own plans; whereas Mikaros seems completely lost and indulgent in what's happening, Rafaed only carries a grim acceptance, saying that this was all unavoidable. An attitude that was only exacerbated when things really got rolling.

rafaed is full of poo poo, though. it wasn't unavoidable. none of this crap could ever have happened if he hadn't used his daughter. there would be a bunch of awakened humans, sure, but not the entire human population.

Terper
Jun 26, 2012


Well of course. That attitude is what makes him an antagonist and villain. But he's definitely not showing an irredeemable attitude like Mikaros is. If someone can show him the light and a way out, he can be saved.
