Chapter 891: Burying the Dead

With the help of Beatrice and Ellie... and the Ebon Mask tribe, really-- Coraline had defeated a Gold-Rank opponent. 

Granted, she had literally taken a mortal injury... but she was going to survive it because *ancient magic.* 

That angel person... he thought she was Sir Tycon. 

As weird as it sounded... that made sense. The first time Coraline had met Beatrice properly, she took the humanoid form of the strongest person¹ she knew... 

Once Coraline used the Ebon Mask long enough to heal, Beatrice still insisted on protecting her.

...which was really sweet.

Beatrice turned into... essentially a set of armor-- but set to attack-mode? And the form she took... was the armor Sir Tychon wore back in Whitehearth. 

Scary. 

Coraline was silently thankful that the angel guy was too stupid to hit her spine.
