Chapter 243 is now up. It keeps surprising me that I'm in the 240s, I keep thinking somewhere lower than that, but I'm not. I'm almost halfway through the 200s. Which reminds me that I'm still in the second arc of the story. Fortunately, things are coming to a climax now. I was able to start the next fight in the series of long fights to break out. The weird thing is that there are seven fights all happening at the same time right now, which is more than before. But I've got a bar that will keep their place in the timeline all together.

It is a slight bait and switch. Yori finally gets to have his powers accessed to him, but he is not fighting the one he wanted. However, with the way things were building up, it should be pretty obvious that since Athene was tracking them, she'd be the one that he'd have to fight. But it is not the full focus of the chapter. He takes up a good amount of the chapter, but it is the resuming of Yumi's fight with Ourias. She is the more important part given the reveal.

I finally break the seal that's been on Yumi for the last 100 or so chapters. Which will get to result in another personality showing up and taking stage. It is all building blocks for figuring out what is going on with Yumi. She's got a lot of complicated things going on. So I plan to give a few more hints about things. Though it still all just setup for later arcs.

Enjoy!
