Chapter 41:
Mari
WOLFPACK AWOKE after Azumaterasu’s bolt had blown the cliffside to bits. Mari was still breathing, perhaps because the spear had missed the U.S. Eva’s core, or because Wolfpack had consumed so much of Asuka’s organic data.
However, the symbols of the tree of life remained on the Eva beast, unlike everything caught in Azumaterasu’s firing line. The debris was already starting to disappear. Wolfpack could feel itself sliding into that zone, however. It flailed and struggled, but it couldn’t break free.
“Hrrrr!” Mari growled. Ramiel’s particle accelerator ring around her waist began expanding. “Raaargh!”
Using that ring of light, Wolfpack somehow managed to break free, despite the lower half of its body still being nailed to the tree of life.
Mari directed as much power to her arms as possible. She kicked aside the debris flying at her and jumped away from the desolate space.
She hadn’t yet finished what she’d come here to do.
