Cold open[]
Clare's right arm is missing. Desperate, she tries to escape Ophelia.[6]
Final showdown[]
Clare stops for a moment and tries to replicate Deneve's Instant Reproduction. But she fails to regenerate her missing arm.[7]
Ophelia finds Clare. She again explains that Clare cannot regenerate her arm, since she is an Offensive type. Clare tries to hide up in a tree, but Ophelia easily spots her and brings Clare crashing to the forest floor.[8] Without her right arm, Clare is nearly helpless. Then Ophelia cuts off Clare's left hand. Clare is about to die.[9]
Mysterious intruder[]
Cannot forgive[]
But a cowled figure approaches the pair. Clare tries to warn away the stranger.[10]
Mysterious stranger
Ophelia cannot forgive being interrupted. She attacks the stranger. But the stranger counters the Rippling Sword with another technique. Unable to believe what is happening to her, Ophelia is defeated by hundreds of cuts.[11]
From Clare's past[]
The witch cape falls away and someone from Clare's past is revealed—"Quicksword" Ilena.[12]
Additional details[]
Notes[]
- Ilena is the first of a series of "Back from the Dead" characters, which continues with Miria, Cassandra, Roxanne, Hysteria
- This trope is suggested to some extent by the later reemergence of Galatea in Rabona and Clare from the cocoon, as well as the appearance of Riful's daughter
