With this conclusion, I've gotten a glimpse at how the author wishes to develop the story. I honestly like it. Congrats to the author for genuinely being able to make the story not feel like there's plot armor. On the content of the chapter, the MC didn't survive because of his own power, but the death of his temporary companion and her power up makes it all connect very nicely-it feels real.
She had three chapters of backstory, but it felt like much more. What do i mean? She was introduced to us as a source of information and genes, a little girl that had a smarty head and some knowledge about magic. That was it. Then, she said "sorry". She telled us that she was useless and worthless, and being at her side would only bring pain and suffering. She teached magic like a book - in the literal meaning -, she sacrifice a hand and got some blows, she teached about roots and emotions, felt wonder about a being that would only bring death for it's purpose, for the Collective. She didn't feared it, she trusted it, she protect it, and just before going to the Dark Place, she felt relivied that it was still alived. What i'm saying? Yes, Krala had a short and terrible life, as well a tragic end... But that is enough. Enough to tell that i feel sad about her death, that i will remember her sacrifice, that i smiled in the final; knowing that she was the only humanoid who made the Collector hesitate and... Comfort. Seriously, thanks, John. Krala was amazing, so was this arc. My grammar is terrible, i know. Sorry for that, as my english is only good for read, not write or speak. Portuguese is my strong language, hah.
