Allen's arm is disintegrating, but still he smiles, Tiki is a little confused. Suddenly the exorcist spits out blood. This worries Linali and she warns Allen that he mustn't let the Noah's power touch him because as a parasite type it not only harms his innocence but also his body! Allen smiles and tells Tiki that he has really underestimated the value of human beings, and that an exorcist's power does not merely come from innocence alone, but the human's will and heart to wield it. Allen's arm begins to transform and recover rather than break down. He strikes at Tiki with it and in an instant the Noah is seen ripped nearly in half. In reality Tiki was not harmed but in his mind, he felt at that instant the panic of near death. Using that moment, his psychotic demeanor returns and he starts to power up, saying that the only thing he learned from that was that ultimately he must kill Allen himself to stop his Innocence. Rodo notices that Tiki has snapped and whisks herself, Rabi and the cube a safe distance away from the incoming blast that eventually engulfs Allen. Linali doesn't understand what is going on and Rodo simply tells her that Tiki has chosen to "reject" the atmosphere around Allen and is essentially creating a vacuum that will destroy Allen's body. Tiki is taking pride in killing Allen slowly, with Rodo silently questioning if Allen will survive.

Tiki meanders over to the trapped Allen, as he is allowed to tread wherever he sees fit. He tells him to give up his fight. Allen is trying to move his arm but can't and soon passes out. Linali, seeing what's happening, desperately tries to kick through the cube even in her injured state. Allen somehow comes to with his sheer will to live and calls upon his innocence to reactivate, but before he can charge up his arm, Tiki stops him with a hand through his chest. Though Tiki is holding Allen's heart in his hand, Allen will not back down and the power he calls on is so strong that back at the Black Order HQ Hebraska is doubled over in pain saying that someone is synchronizing over 100% and reaching the critical point. According to Komui, the critical point determines who the next general will be. Meanwhile Allen's power is growing and he says the two arms he designated, one for humans the other for akumas, are actually one and his parasite arm turns into a very familiar sword!


Chapter 117

With his sword, Allen wields an attack straight through the vacuum. Tiki is blasted back as the vacuum explodes. Surprised Rodo asks if everything is alright but Tiki fears he has awakened something dangerous. Allen emerges ready for battle. A strange chill of fear runs through Rodo as she recognizes the sword that Allen is holding and a quick picture of the Earl comes to her mind that she shakes away. Linali also holds her head as she feels the immense power coming from Allen and it also fills her with dread and confusion. Tiki anticipates Allens incoming attack and readies a shield but Allen easily cuts through it. Tiki sees the blade cutting through him too and the others are astounded at the scene as he falls to his knees, but the blade has not cut his flesh! Instead Allen tells him that the target was not him..rather the Noah inside him. Almost suddenly, Tiki screams as the sacred crosses that mark a Noah appear around him. A horrified Rodo realizes that Allen's sword is the polar opposite of the Earls and it has the power to exorcise the Noahs!

The evolution of Allen's Crown Clown is the sword that exorcises evil, the pierrot that brings down the Akumas and purifies the Noahs. Rodo notices this, and Tiki's defiance, even though the Noah has left him, worries her. She jumps down to his aid but Tiki stops her. Allen tells Tiki to stand down, but he simply refuses; forcing Allen to run him through. Tiki apologizes to Rodo as he falls back, grabbing at Allen's face before he finally loses consciousness and the exorcist retreats his sword. The marks on his forehead disappear. Linali is astounded and Chaoji celebrates, but it is short lived as candles suddenly stab him in the back. Allen makes as if to move but Rodo tells him to freeze or she will stab them all. Candles surround all the captives as Rodo kneels to Tiki's side, holding him in her arms. She tells Allen that the feelings he has towards his comrades is the same she has for her family and though she likes him, she warns him that she is not herself and is capable of anything at the moment if he even thinks of taking a step. In fact her aim is to take her vengeance out on Rabi as she holds his heart within her space still. Meanwhile..Rabi hears the horde of corpses calling to him from within his own heart!


Chapter 119
LQ/MQ by bludshock (DDL1) || (DDL2) || (Online)


Allen stands helpless and infuriated but Rodo reminds him about the pain he felt the first time she stabbed his eye, so if he moves she will do the same to his companions. She tells him to just stand and watch her break Rabi down. Meanwhile in Rabi's heart he is told by Bookman that the corpses surrounding him are merely illusions described as humans in the history they write. Bookman wonders if Rabi's heart cares at all when he writes about those "humans" with his ink. He reminds Rabi of a Bookman's duty and that no matter what happens around them in the end they live on, impartial and uncaring. The Linali in his arms springs a dagger and tries to attack him with it, saying that his comrades are more than just ink on paper. The horde descends on him and he tries to tell himself that they are just illusions as Bookman encourages him to fight them off without restraint. But as he fights them, memories of the first time he arrived to the Order flood into his head. It was during a funeral and he looks on from a terrace. He estimates about 100 coffins and below he sees a hysterical Linali mourning a fallen comrade. Later in another scene, he tells himself that he will just do his best to fit in as an exorcist, as the other members are busy making a big fuss about his integration into the team, all the while he thinks about how all of them will probably never be included into history, as always. Then he remembers that after the years spent with them he begins to forget whether the Rabi he portrays is real or not. The current Rabi can't stand these memories and he yearns to stop them. Before him a vision of Allen walks up to him holding the playing card Rabi had saved to return to him. The fake Rabi appears and smashes Allen's face, reminding him that he is just a bunch of ink afterall..and that Rabi will fail as a bookman if he begins to forget that and care. But the real Rabi is horrified at the sight of the fallen Allen illusion and he lets his guard down, allowing Kanda and Linali to pierce him through suddenly, while the fallen Allen calls out to him, telling him he is no longer a Bookman.

Rabi has been pierced by the illusions of his comrades. The fake Rabi tells him that he has failed as a bookman but not to fear because soon he will take over that role and suceed in his stead. Rabi falls. Back in the real world Rabi's hand twitches. A voice tells him that he is free and he opens his eyes to reveal a strange makr under his eye. He steps out from his cube, dropping his hammer, and comes up behind Allen. Rodo tells Allen that Rabi's heart has died and if he wants to save Linali and Chaoji..he has to kill the new Rabi. Before Allen can get any elaboration, Rabi attacks him, sending him flying. Rabi stomps on him hard, but Allen figures he has been posessed by something. He runs him through with his sword expecting to exorcise whatever is inside him. Rodo laughs saying that he is not possessed, he just had a change of heart and that the only way to stop him is by changing his weapon and strike him down. He has to do it quick too or else she might just have to kill his friends instead. Rabi pins Allen against a wall and the younger exorcist tries to remind Rabi that Crowley had left the task of protecting the others to them, that his actions were hurting Linali, the one who cared about them most. Instead, Rabi punches into him saying simply he is not his comrade. Rodo is excited and tells Allen the sad truth about a Bookman's impartial existence, and that the Rabi he sees before him is the true Rabi..his true feelings. Meanwhile Rabi snatches up his hammer and unleashes his Hi-ban right at Allen!


Opinion time!
Woah, this whole showdown with the Noahs is largely my favorite part of this series. Not only are they formidable but it's really challenging the exorcists on so many levels. Tiki's sadistic nature is eye opening cause he comes across as suave and definitely more restrained than the twins, but when he gets mad..holy crap! This cute thing Rodo has for Allen..omg otp, I had wished for it since way back in volume 3..har har. Her power is kinda scary, I figured she wouldn't attack people directly..her torture of Rabi seems a bit much considering he never did anything to her at all. I never figured Rabi for being as weak minded as he is portrayed to be, but I knew this was coming from way back when Bookman said they were only on the Exorcist's side by chance. I kinda wish Rabi's personality wasn't just a facade the whole time. It seems from his reaction to what happens to Allen in his heart..he really cares for the whole group. I love Hoshino's violent fodder..it's so much fun the way she sets everyone up against each other. I wonder about Tiki, he isn't dead is he? I know the Noah inside him is..but how does that relate to him..will he be like in a coma-like state from now on? Rodo seems very worried and vengeful about his condition. I can't wait to see what happens next, likening Allen to the Earl as polar opposites is kinda scaring me right now..the fact his sword is just like the Earl's..I dunno it seems that there is so much more to their correlation.
