Li Na

Arc

She has not spoken to Carl since the eye (ch. 40); she gives her blood freely for Katia to ink a chain tattoo on Carl's arm (ch. 40) and climbs the clock tower to cast a touch-range dread over twenty metres of wire into Club Vanquisher: Dark Purpose, and Mork the ram pulls out his own eyes while a mantaur guard stabs himself in the throat (ch. 50, ch. 51). She power-levels through a massacre — Defile Soul, Bleeding Horror, Succulent Decay — second on the leaderboard by the interview (ch. 51, ch. 52, ch. 56), and is the one Donut begs Carl to give the second Ring of Divine Suffering to (ch. 57). She installs her dead brother's celestial eye in her own socket (ch. 69, ch. 71), hands Carl a duplicated hell-kissed potion — 'before they, too, fall victim to your chaos' — and conscripts Harpocrates without exploding (ch. 71, ch. 72). She rides the god, builds a lattice of chains for Donut's paw, and tells Donut that Li Jun's death is Donut's fault (ch. 73, ch. 75, ch. 76). She marks everyone in the ball and maxes every base stat at level 87, a thing that has never happened, but Tagg, Fang and three of Rust's harem escape her, the last to the eighteenth floor, and she can never heal again (ch. 77, ch. 82). She floats over the espresso stand glowing black and purple, chains like wings, and does not answer Elle (ch. 82); she goes into the stairwell without a word (ch. 86).
