[North Forest — Eastern Island — Day 74 — 4:09 PM]
The angel found the forest's pattern in four minutes.
Less than the team had calculated.
The repressor processing the new geometry — the thirty‑meter trunks, the six‑meter space between them, Akari's tails as a network between support points — and adapting in real time with the same speed it had adapted to Seraph and Jessica on the open road.
The pulse smaller now: not the full radius needing all four wings but a concentrated, narrower pulse that filtered between the trunks with enough power to eliminate what it found in its path.
Akari's tails blocking the north angle.
Three of the nine — disabled by the concentrated pulse that filtered between two trunks with two hundred centimeters of space between them.
Akari with six tails.
The angel rotating toward Seraph with the freed space.

Seraph blocked the strike with her scythe.
[Seraph HP: 134,600 → 97,400]
