Here we are the inevitable encounter with Jacob and Annie/Gullivette.
Nice opening with detailed descriptions of the location we are in, makes you feel as if you could be there. Gullivette's intuition about this location seems to be telling her ambush. O’Dais is a criminal and liar so heeding this warning is paramount.
Seeing Jacob for the first time in so many years could easily disrupt Annie’s train of thought and put her at a disadvantage. At this point you wonder will Jacob’s ability have any effect on Annie as she can just grow back to normal.
We are now reading how Jacob feels about her betrayal and abandonment all those years back. She could have gone back to make sure he was safe. Makes you wonder if her making a different choice could have changed Jacob’s trajectory.
The interaction between Annie and Jacob is most interesting and enlightening. I was engrossed reading their discussion. Great job at creating a believable interaction between the two.
I knew Avaramix wanted O’Dias dead, but I guess I didn’t know it would be handled so abruptly and low key. Nice touch though shows how unimportant Avaramix and or Jacob thought of O’Dias.
Now the battle begins, and it doesn’t look promising for Gullivette with the technology being used against her. Another intense battle taking place puts you on the edge of your seat.
The horrific action by Jacob solidifies the hatred you feel for him. The unadulterated evil this man has become. The feeling of dread and hope fading as you read hoping for some form of saving that may never come. So very intense and saddining.
The brutal attack from Jacob on Annie was intense and I felt as if she would not overcome this battle.
Although Annie/Gullivette is amazing and once again has shown she can harness her abilities to heights unheard of.
I am totally now a Gullivette fan, I was skeptical of her at first, but she has earned a place in my mind the lofty position along with Jinshin and now Blaire. “Our trio of heroes”
Great job with this chapter I am totally blown away and saddened at the loss of those from the team but am happy that Gullivette and Ghywin have survived to fight another day.
Now that Gullivette and Ghywin understand who they are up against they should be better prepared to confront the next interaction. They need to limp back to their base and recoup and plan for their next battle as it most definitely will be more intense than this one.
It will be interesting to see how Avaramix will take the loss in this battle. Although I’m sure Jacob could care less what Avaramix thinks as his power is much more intense than anything Avaramix could obtain now.
Now we are left wondering how Jacob will react when he finds out Blaire knows about his nefarious actions. We also now wonder what special abilities Blaire holds. Looking forward to the next chapter.
I could go on and on with what this chapter has brought forth but will leave it at this for now. Another fight scene equal to that of Jinshin and Deita's fight.
Author's Response:
Yeah O'Dias had a purpose and it was fulfilled in this chapter. Sadly he was in the hot seat and Avaramix didn't trust him to keep quiet so they used him to set the trap and then offed him lol.
This entire battle was exactly how I imagined it. I was very happy with the end result of this chapter indeed.
Now we know just how powerful Jacob really is. Being able to counter Annie's size and strength to such a deafening extent must have been a shock to the entire task force. Sadly, that force has been annihilated nearly entirely. Will have to see how many other team members survived if any.
This chapter did Annie a lot of justice, especially since she's been arguably the least developed character in the story imo.
Very much wonder just how far Gullivette managed to throw Jacob deep into the desert lmao, and what condition he is in xD
Thanks for reading!
