None taken. I was hoping someone knowledgeable enough with the light novels could help make one, hm. *looks at...*

[karasu-000]

Sorry for the disappearance. I had to do the rest of my artworks AFTER the exams, which means I had tons of other things to do.

Meanwhile, I wasn't expecting that Pheles actually 'had' a child... Thanks for the explanation, CapoExecutor. I kind of... understand it now.

WHEN,WHERE,HOW,WHY!!?

I haven't know that she really had...a child. Is it only a speculation?
If not, more details about it, please.

Context info: the opening line is from the general of Seirei-den. This is a direct translation. Not summarised.

[“As I thought, I cannot defeat you if I still treat you like an honored guest. Then, let me give it my all to be your opponent. I beg of you to not die on me.]

With this strange opening line, all the armor units start to spread out. The orange flames, housed inside the otherwise empty suites, split into many smaller fragments and fly out. These small fragments then turn into the shape of bees, and gradually become a dark cloud.

Shana glances all this half-heartedly. She now only feels a power incomparably greater than she had before her capture, the power that erupts from her firmly stepping feet, her unflinchingly standing body, her furiously burning hands, and her boundless mind.

[Does the unrestricted spell come next? … have to be careful to not destroy the balance]

It can be said that her heart is here, or it can be said the otherwise. She is thinking furiously on how to control this power erupting from her. Only instinct is used to destroy or deflect the Crimson Lord that keeps appearing in front of her. Her mind is focused on controlling this power.

[Before Alastor returns to me, I can rely on no one.]

Faced with battle, how to control this limitless power that comes at will? It's not easy. Even if she wants to effectively use the power stored there, like she always did before but could never fully accomplish.

[I have to do this by myself.... as the “Flaming Hair, Burning Eyes Slayer”]

While she is concentrated on finding a way to control this unrestrained power, a clue to grasp the entire picture surfaces in her mind. Even though it's difficult to control, it's not impossible...

After all these battles, she has grasped her own true impressions of herself.

[From the basic of basics, remember the method of power control.]

Before she made the contract to become a Flame Haze, when she was still human, she had not received any knowledge regarding the form of power of the “Flaming Hair, Burning Eyes Slayer”. This is according to the education plan of not giving her any preconceptions, so that this power can be shaped as she herself depicts and desires in her mind.

[If... the power of a Flame Haze is the result of the fusion of the contractor's intense imagination and the power of the Crimson Lord]

The road of difficult battles, a beam of light quietly shines closer.

What is being sought is.

[What is the "Flaming Hair, Burning Eyes Slayer" to me really?]

That's a simple question. With it in mind, Shana inspects her appearance again.

[--Flaming Hair--]

Flying fiery dust, mixed with almost coalesced flame, overflowing.

[--Burning Eyes--]

Bright eyes shining with light, vision unusually clear.

[--Slayer--]

Swung with her hand, the katana traces lines of brilliant crimson light.

[This is... Me]

In front of the general who is trying to surround Shana, in front of the armor and bees, an aberrant sight emerges. The opponent engaged in battle has undergone a drastic transformation. She still has the appearance of a girl, but has in fact turned into a monster. No, that's a.. Fiend (魔神).

[--That which is strong to me, the appropriate symbol of my power, is myself--]

The answer that was obtained before, now reappears before her.
The feet which presses down on the ground, have unnoticeably become quicker and firmer.
The flame flowing out from her hair shoots streams of fire around her.
The light from her eyes tracks the enemies' movement unflinchingly.
The katana shines with a crimson light, keen from tip to hilt.

The Flame Haze has finally grabbed a hold of her own powers.

[Yes--The "Strong Self" is--"Flaming Hair, Burning Eyes Slayer", Shana!!]

The air collects around her in an instant, and tears.

"Wha..t?!"

The armored copies gasp in shock, instinctively covering their eyes. The bee swarm is swallowed by the heat wave. Most are burned to a crisp, the remaining pushed against the walls.

The Flame Haze at the center of the tear, "Flaming Hair, Burning Eyes Slayer", Shana, uttered quietly, "Success."

As if transformed into a small crimson comet, radiating with savage heat and light, she is surrounded with dense flame. Her flowing fiery hair spreads as if melting, and loosely covers her black coat as if it were a second coat.

<Exhale...>

Expelling breath mixed with fiery dust and shocking power, Shana closes her eyes, and then opens them at once.
With this action, a giant flaming eye materializes above and behind her with a crackle.

[I can see.]

The presence of Denizens, the structure of unrestricted spells, which up to this point had to be felt with atmosphere and impressions, are now revealed as clear forms and movements in front of her. The vision is unusually clear. To confirm its validity, Shana holds her free hand into a fist, and gives a great shout.

[Haa!]

She reaches her hand in front of her and to the side.
Where she points, a cyclone of crimson fire materializes into a giant hand. The two large pillars and the wall in front are easily obliterated as if they were nothing more than lego blocks. It's not because the flame exploded, but rather because of the impact from the manifestation of fire as a solid existence.

The ones on the other side of the wall, the awaiting troopers who plan to knock over the wall and attack together, the forward troops who rushed into position, are wiped out along with the wall from the crushing blow. Those who remain retreat in panic.

Shana, who has retracted the flame hand to examine its effects, now utters the words:

"True Crimson"

She names the power which turns crimson flame into a physical manifestation. It's not showing off. It is now merely the proper time to to use the appropriate name to help her understand this power, when the suggestions of the training supervisor is realized. Shana so judges at this moment. Of course, no gloating or self-indulging smile crosses her face. But rather, she turned to another wall. This time she concentrates slightly on the hand holding the katana, and swings it.

“He!”

Unlike before, no clear form such as a hand appears, instead the spreading flame is projected outward. Incomparable more powerful to fireballs, this flame wave, directional with the intention to destroy, slams into many more pillars, and many more walls, obliterating them along with the Denizens positioned behind them.

"Shooting Flame"

Named after the phenomenon that just occurred.

Then, with burning eyes scanning the temple interior, and the giant one behind her, she completes probing the battlefield with a single glance. A new name for a new power, from the powers of authority held by her contractor, a true god of Crimson Realm.

"Trial"

The clear vision reveals the group of armors still holding their distance, the capturing net behind the pillars, the bee swarms deploying some kind of defensive screen, and most importantly, from the pulses of the unrestricted spell, the position of the one who is controlling these puppets.

So after all it is the bee swarm outside, the one that was used to hide the the presence of the first armor units. Covered with loose clothing, standing upright, it is the general's true body.

Burning eyes fixated in that direction. Faced with this avatar of a fiend holding a katana with both hands.
[Ha?!]
[What are you doing?]
[Stop!]
[Wait...]

Realizing her intentions, the armor units race forward.
However, Shana does not even look these puppets. She merely uses her second coat of "True Crimson" to deflect or incinerate the incoming armor and bees. Protected by this defense, she thrusts her katana forward with an effortless stance, and like before, utters another name from the powers of authority, activating it.

"Condemnation"

The flame in front of the katana materializes into a giant blade.
Without deviation, the sword cuts the floor in two, and emits a intense heat that vaporizes the remains. This power far surpasses that of which was formerly called the Crimson Katana. With this affirmation, Shana presses forward.

"?!"

The true body of the general hiding behind the door that was cut open did not have time to use an unrestricted spell, indeed, he did not even have the time to scream before he was erased in an instant.

At the same moment, all the remaining armor and bee swarms turn into orange flames and disappear into the air.

Shana paid no attention to all of this.

"Haaai...!"

With this powerful shout, she swings the Crimson Sword "Condemnation" upward. The mural depicting the great snake and Denizens is split open with this movement.

"Cut...!"

A powerful strike shatters the roof above Shana.

Within the few seconds when the "True Crimson" coat is used to defend herself from falling debris.

[Time to go.]

The Flame Haze, "Flaming Hair, Burning Eyes Slayer", Shana, transforms the True Crimson coat into giant, expanded crimson wings. She transforms them yet again into jetting flames, recognizing the hole in the roof above as her path, departs with a blinding light.

[For facing Yuji... as this, my true self.]

The remaining troops had no chance of catching up to her. As if trying to transcend this world sealed by her own powers, passing through the not yet completely dissipated Fuzetsu, fast, strong, far-reaching, shining, the girl takes off towards the sky.

dear god, that sounds so good , I can't wait to see that in anime form.

[Game8910]

.........most anti-climatic impregnation....ever

[karasu-000]

What I would want to know is that whether Pheles' 'child' is a Denizen or a Lord...
There are still some events that WE SHOULD know...

Especially...

When did Pheles...um...you know...got impregnated?

[Elf song]

Yes, I did read that rep already but not understand.

Any solid information? (e.g. from what volume?) because, as far as I know, he(author) never say anything about Pheles' pregnancy before up until latest volume. I can confirm that.


Anyway, if there will be any, that child's capacity of PoE controlling will indicate his/her level of power. However, the Denizen-born could train themselves and assert the title of Lord too. (e.g. Orobas).

[TimelessEcholocation]

The whole "Pheles has a child" is just speculation in regards to her current predicament but it's a nice guess in regards to what she might be doing with all that's going on.

It's unknown on what Johan said and did to Pheles at the end of episode 15 besides what is seen superficially.

Personally, the Engage Link is nothing more than a overly-hormonal couple anyways. Even if Pheles isn't pregnant, that doesn't mean that she and Johan are virgins.

[Xet]

And to add more speculation (cos its fun and i'm bored) Pheles Part with the Hogu could be when she is summoned she siphons off all the "evil" parts of SoF or Snake Yuji into unborn child.

Unplausible but unlikely enough to happen

[karasu-000]

I wish Volume XX will have a filler for that...

But I think Takahashi wouldn't because it might ruin the whole plotline.

[Elf song]

Let's kill some time before vol.XX come out.


About Crimson Denizens having a child, I got many question popped up:

1. (IF) the "Pheles having a child" speculation is true in the future, what should we call him/her: Denizen/Human....or both?

2. whose color of flame that child would inherit from? Father's or mother's one or brand new one? In Pheles' case, amber is the one since Johan shouldn't have one(or did he?)

3. Pheles' body that we saw in "our world" is the manifestation from her using purely PoE. Inside her body there's nothing that resemble human organs. How could she bears a child in that body? AFAIK, Her race's method of reproduction is the division of both parents' existences and fuse them into one.

4. Remember Asiz? he hoped to do that but got himself destroyed beforehand though. If Pheles' having-a-child news spread to the whole world(s), won't she got hunted all over the world by Flame Hazes or some Denizens who don't acknowledge this?

4. Is her child still needs to consume PoE or not? like "Mommy, I'm hungry" things...

5. Just noticed, no events of family vacation on Earth; Father, mother and children...playing(consuming) people. What a view!


Since there's no official explanation about these, any speculation is welcomed.

Since there's no official explanation about these, any speculation is welcomed.

1) Crimson Hybrid

2) Amber but with a darker shade as Pheles is the dominant one.

3) Donations are appreciated.

4) That's why silence is golden.

5) "Sweetie, here's a nice prison filled with death row inmates for you to devour. Remember to say grace before digging in!"

6) Try a vacation in the Crimson Realm.

[Cosmic Eagle]

Vacation in Guze? You'd think that place is a hellhole rather than a vacation spot from the moanings of the Tomogara....

[karasu-000]

And I thought the Lords said that the Crimson Realm is a place of nothingness...
(Well, if there is a place of civilization in Guze, I wouldn't be surprised if there are frequent war breakthrough's'...)

[Marcus H.]

And why many powerful Guze no Oh prefer being human-like than returning to their homeworld.

Sydonay: Come join us in Earth! We have cigarettes!

Annaberg: The acceleration of human civilization! How amazing...?!

(SnH: Keep quiet and go back to the afterlife, wall clock...or speedometer...whatever you are..........)



Sorry for the Annaberg fans.

[nadini]

The next OVA is 'zeotrope'

anyone who read the S novels knows what its gonna be about?
Domocile was somewhat boring, but not overall bad.

also, are there any mentions of Yuji's upcoming baby brother(or was it sister) after volume 14?

how exactly is he gonna fit into this or is it there for something not plot relevant?

[Marcus H.]

Zoetrope is Shana's first journey as a Flame Haze. I have the entire Zoetrope scanned, but I have little to no expertise in translating. >.< Anyway, it focuses on what happened after she and Wilhelmina part ways in Hongkong after the events in the Tendoukyuu.

What I've seen is that she fights a Crimson Denizen "newborn" named Kasha and she is joined by elite Flame Haze and Great War veteran Sophie Sawallisch.

[Game8910]

actually Zoetrope came with the Shana manga vol5 released by ViZ on february, it was great, it had a bit of good action and it was hilarious to boot
