PRINCESSES OF POWER! • Is that blood? "If [she] bleeds we can kill [her]!"

Nice move, George, but I don’t think that’s going to do much, either. We can see the ward absorbing the impact. Perhaps Team Annie can overwhelm it if they all strike together? Or Ayilu can break out an illusion to keep Noa occupied while they sneak past, which (no pun intended) is probably the best bet here anyway.

STILL looks like it didn't do anything, although, turning the head is not nothing, really. So, marginal progress there! But also, HELL YEAH nice attack speed there, Parley!! Certainly looks like it packs a wallop, despite Noa's impressive wallop-absorption skills. Also is that stuff by Parley's boot part of her attack, or is that like, a rotational block? I think we're meant to think the former but I'm not sure?? I like how the 'BOOM' itself is cracked, almost as if the shield is shattering the impact of the offense. Well then

I wouldn't so much say it didn't do anything as it was redirected elsewhere. Now as to where that elsewhere is... I suppose we will find out really soon.

You know, I don't think that she's even flesh and blood anymore, just a solid mass of congealed magic.

Why do I have a sinking feeling that the 'crack' in the boom is referring to her knee?

go into the ether. whatever she’s doing probably has a cool visual and i want to see it

The distraction caused by Annie's fireball has allowed Parley to approach, but will there be any effect of her hit at all? Perhaps knocking Noa's glasses off will accomplish something, while it has at least moved her head slightly from the impact. But they're in close-quarters now, so what will happen to Parley? Has she at least provided another distraction for the NEXT attack?

Well their head moved

Now I begin to wonder if she's really there, or just some holographic projection?

Immune to fire AND to blunt force trauma? Well I'm out of ideas.

Physically impervious characters are often weakest to mental or psychic fronts. Someone suggested the blue ex-fairy, perhaps that is the right track. Or maybe just... run around her? (Scarper!)

Should'a brought Jones for this kinda deal.

This won't be won by force.

bip boom her, parley!!!

Just realized they both have hime cuts lol.

Parley is gonna taste a bit of the Worg effect. She is gonna get destroyed.

Trauma as blunt as their fringes.

Well, Parley, it was nice knowing you...

I think I see what's going on here. There's some redirecting rune shenanigans going on here perhaps where all the energy/effects of our unknown opponent is being moved away.

It looks like everything that tries to deal damage to her or impacts or whatever just sort of freeze and turn white- is she siphoning the energy of the impact to feel her symbol?

Wobbuffet!

Yay Parley though that looks just about as effective... perhaps the need to edit her runes...

So focus seems to be a requirement, we shall see if there is a tipping point where Noa starts have some difficulty despite her powers.

We'd really be wondering WTF if we hadn't seen that flashback. Thanks tom!

What's that quote again? "I fear no man, but that thing, it terrifies me."

Parley needs the Soulfire Blade. Just holding it will prevent those telekinetic attacks, and will break any magical shield. Then stick it in Noa’s ‘heart’, and she’sent to Hell where she belongs.

Parley is frkkn hot. ._.

She had to tilt her head! That’s… something!

It looks like Noa is pretty heavily shielded against both Annie's beam weapon as well as Parley's ethereally-enhanced kinetic strike. They need a new attack method that Noa didn't think of when she wrote up her glyphs.

Noa your enemy.

Beast. Earn it indeed.

It's all going into the glyph! The glyph known as Noa...

NIIIIICE! Damn. Nice lettering.

Parley's knee just liquefies into jelly

There goes the kneecap...

Oh, right. This is going to be a case where the frontal assault is impossible and they need to use Aikido, Tai Chi or the art of throwing themselves at the ground but missing in order to use the attackers energy against them. Also, glad Red is not so much worried as just angry about it, lol.

Changing the Vegeta background music to the Cell Torunament one...

Time for Super Saiyan.

Parley has graduated from the Captain Falcon school of Smash

She probably wears the glasses to hide that there's no more human behind her eyes.

nora! nora! nora!

UNLIMITED PAWAAHHH

Ok, but we know she deals with things like that by redirecting them somewhere else. So I want to know where the energy is going!!!

Okay Annie, slag the floor underneath her. Trap her feet in molten rock. Make her into one of those bop-it clowns for kids.

So "stress" (by the physics definition) gets added to her Symbol. Can it be bled off? Or added in the negative?
