Clarifying some specifics from SO7 about Revis vs Finn, and Revis vs Ais

親指が、疼いた。 「────」  かつてないほどの疼痛。  指が引きつるほどの虫の知らせ。  同時に、フィンの耳はそれを捉えた。  付近の『扉』が開く重々しい音を。 (──これ、は)  危機を察知する『勘』を有するフィンでも、ままならない事態がある。  知覚できようとも指示が間に合わない、肉体が追いつかない、個人と集団の処理能力を超過した『異常事態』。何度それで『深層』の遠征中、部下を失ったことか。  その脅威の前兆が今、絶対零度の悪寒となって降りかかった。  

His thumb throbbed.
────
A pain unlike anything he had ever felt before.
An omen so intense that his finger nearly cramped.
At the same time, Finn’s ears caught it.
The ponderous sound of a nearby “Door” opening.
(—This is…)
Even Finn, who possessed the instinct to sense danger, sometimes faced situations beyond his control.
“Abnormal situations” where, even if he could perceive them, orders could not be issued in time, the body could not keep up, and the processing capacity of both individual and group was exceeded. How many times had he lost subordinates during expeditions into the “Deep Levels” because of that?
Now the portent of that threat descended upon him as a chill of absolute zero.

In brackets are the official TL (The sound of a door rumbling open nearby.
This is…
Even for someone with a sixth sense for danger like Finn, this was too much, too fast.
There was no time to give orders. His body simply couldn’t react fast enough. This was an Irregular neither he nor the rest of the party had the capacity to suppress. The type of Irregular he’d already lost countless men to on expeditions to the Dungeon’s depths.)

直後、フィンが据わるパーティ中衛の真側面。凶暴なモンスターの群れが、一斉に縦に割れる。  あたかもかしずくように、王の代行者に道を開けるように。  十字路の先の『扉』が解き放たれ、風を裂いて突撃してくるのは──。 (──赤髪の)  緑の双眼、黒塗りの不気味な長剣、鮮血のごとき紅い髪。 『扉』の奥で気配を殺し、その時を待っていた猛襲者。  

Immediately afterward, directly beside Finn, who stood in the party’s middle rank, the savage horde of monsters simultaneously split apart in a single line.
As though paying homage—making way for the king’s proxy.
The “Door” beyond the crossroads burst open, and charging through the air was—
(—the red-haired…)
Green twin eyes. A sinister black longsword. Hair crimson like fresh blood.
The fierce assailant who had concealed its presence beyond the “Door,” waiting for this moment.

(When suddenly, from immediately to his side…
The entire pack of hellish beasts parted in a single flash of movement.
Almost as though opening a path for their revered king.
They revealed the door at the end of the crossroads, now open, and a figure cut through the shadow—
—That red hair.
Green eyes, an eerie black longsword, and hair the color of freshly spilled blood.
All at once, the figure disappeared.)

The official translation doesn’t fully capture that Revis made her move as the monsters were parting and the door had just opened, or that she had been concealing her presence immediately beforehand.

怪人──レヴィスは瞬時にフィンの眼前へ急迫した。 「っっ!?」 「また会ったな、小人族」  冷ややかな声とともに振り下ろされる黒剣の一撃。  それを防いだフィンに走り抜ける、凄まじい衝撃。  甚だしい威力、速度、小さ過ぎる体では受け皿たりえないほどの破壊力。  

The creature—Revis closed the distance to directly before Finn in an instant.
“!?!!”
“We meet again, Pallum.”
With that icy voice, the black sword came slashing down.
As Finn blocked it, a tremendous impact coursed through him.
Overwhelming power. Speed. Destructive force so immense that his small body could scarcely serve as a receptacle for it.

(An instant later, the creature, Levis, was directly in front of Finn.
“Ngh?!”
“So we meet again, prum.”
The frosty voice descended upon him at the same time as her obsidian sword.
She followed through even as he blocked the strike, nearly blasting him backward from the incredible shock. She had power, speed, and a destructive force more powerful than his small body could take.)

剣戟を交わすことたった三合、それだけでフィンの体勢が死んだ。

They exchanged sword blows for only three crosses.
That alone destroyed Finn’s stance.

(After only three crosses of the blade, his strength simply gave out.)

「18階層の借りを、返しておくぞ」  以前見えた時とは比べものにならない威圧感。ありえない戦闘能力の上昇。  敵は怪人、そして『強化種』。  一体、どれほどの『魔石』を喰らって──。 (──『魔法』を)  使わなければ負ける。  しかし、フィンの頭に一抹の危惧が過ってしまう。 凶猛の魔槍は能力を激上させる『魔法』。だが代わりに漲る好戦欲に支配され、まともな指示を下すこともできない凶戦士に成り果ててしまう。  この状況でラウル達が自分の指揮を失ってしまったら──。  上に立つ者であるが故の一瞬の懊悩。  そして、そのたった一瞬が、勝負の明暗を分けた。 「死ね」  フィンが抱いた迷いは、今の化物にとって致命的な隙に他ならない。  猛烈な弧を描いた黒き剣身が、フィンの体を斬り裂いた。 「づっ────」  構えるも両断される槍の柄、矮小な身に刻まれた深過ぎる刃創。  夥しい紅血が散るフィンの視界から、無感動のレヴィスの顔が遠ざかっていく。  冒険者達の間から一切の音が消え、時の流れが緩慢になる中、断たれた勇気の槍とともに小人族の体がぐらりと後方へ傾いた。

“I’ll repay the debt from the Eighteenth Floor.”
The pressure she exuded was beyond comparison to the last time he had seen her.
An impossible increase in combat ability.
The enemy was a creature—and an “Enhanced Species.”
Just how many magic stones had it devoured—
(—Magic…)
If he didn’t use it, he would lose.
Yet a trace of concern crossed Finn’s mind.
Hell Finegas was a magic that drastically raised his abilities. But in exchange, he would be ruled by surging battle lust, reduced to a berserker incapable of giving proper orders.
If Raul and the others were to lose his command in this situation—
A brief hesitation born from being the one who stood above the others.
And that single instant alone decided the outcome.
“Die.”
The hesitation Finn harbored was nothing less than a fatal opening against the monster he now faced.
The black blade traced a ferocious arc and tore through Finn’s body.
“Guhh────****”
Though he raised it to defend himself, the shaft of his spear was cut clean through, and an excessively deep wound was carved into his diminutive frame.
As copious crimson blood scattered, Revis’s emotionless face receded from Finn’s vision.
All sound vanished from among the adventurers, time itself seemed to slow, and together with the severed Spear of Courage, the Pallum’s body slowly tipped backward.

(Her sword carved a ravenous arc through the air before connecting with Finn’s body.
“Gngh—!”
It divided the handle of his spear as he attempted to raise it in defense, before finally plunging into his tiny frame.)

「ッッッ!!」  管の床を蹴り付け、荒ぶる風となる。  脳裏を真紅の色にかき乱されるアイズは、猛然とレヴィスへと斬りかかった。 「お前から仕掛けてくるのは、初めてだな」  

“HHH!!”
She kicked off the tube-lined floor, becoming a raging wind.
With her mind thrown into turmoil by a deep crimson color, Ais fiercely slashed at Revis.
“This is the first time you’ve made the first move.”

初手から全力を込めたアイズ渾身の斬撃を。  レヴィスは、難なく弾いた。 「っ!?」  剣身を伝う衝撃とともに驚愕に見舞われるアイズは、すぐさま次の攻撃を放つ。  レヴィスはこれも容易く対応した。【剣姫】が誇る剣技に、純粋な『力』と『速度』をもって斬り結ぶ。  両者の剣劇に耐え兼ねたように、レヴィスの黒剣がビキッと破片を飛ばした。

Ais’s opening strike, delivered with every ounce of her strength—
Revis knocked it aside with ease.
“!?”
Shocked by the impact transmitted through her blade, Ais immediately launched another attack.
Revis dealt with that just as effortlessly. Against the swordsmanship the Sword Princess prided herself on, she met it with nothing but pure “strength” and “speed.”
As though unable to endure the clash between the two swords, Revis’s black blade cracked with a sharp bikii, sending fragments flying.

(Levis noted calmly as Aiz came at her with everything she had—
—before being batted away.
“?!”
The impact rippled through her arms, and shock colored her features as she immediately prepared herself for the next attack.
But Levis blocked it just as effortlessly as the first. One after the next, she deflected each of the Sword Princess’s patented strikes with undiluted power and speed.
In fact, the dance of swords was so fervent that Levis’s sword gave a sudden crack! as a chipped piece flew through the air.)

The Japanese allows for two readings, and from the context I think it leans toward the former: either it was summarising only what had already been narrated, the two sword exchanges, or it was describing a brief continued exchange. The official TL adds stuff and makes it lean toward the latter, making the fight sound like a prolonged sequence of repeated attacks and parries.

「……ああ、そうか」  レヴィスは何かに気付いたように己の得物を一瞥する。  無造作な薙ぎ払いでアイズを弾き飛ばし、間合いを置いた。  戦慄するのはアイズである。今も残る手の痺れが物語っていた。以前24階層と戦ったレヴィスとは、能力が桁違いであると。 「危なかったな。これでは殺してしまう」  戦く少女の眼差しを他所に、レヴィスは砕けた呪いの剣を放り捨てる。  代わりに、腰に佩いていたもう一振りの長剣を引き抜いた。

“…Ah, I see.”
As though realizing something, Revis glanced once at her own weapon.
With a casual sweeping blow she knocked Ais away, opening the distance between them.
The one overcome with dread was Ais.
The lingering numbness in her hands told the story.
Compared to the Revis she had fought on the Twenty-Fourth Floor before, this one’s abilities were on an entirely different order of magnitude.
“That was close. At this rate I’d end up killing you.”
Ignoring the trembling girl’s gaze, Revis tossed aside the shattered cursed sword.
Instead, she drew another longsword that had hung at her waist.

(“…Aha, I see,” she mused, glancing down at her sword as if she had realized something before stepping back from the reckless rain of blows.
But despite the damage to Levis’s weapon, it was Aiz’s heart that was beating out of control and Aiz’s hands that prickled with a numbing pain. The Levis she was fighting now was on a completely different level from the one she’d faced on the twenty-fourth floor.
“That was close. I’ll simply have to kill you with this.” Levis ignored Aiz’s tremors as she tossed aside the broken sword and drew a second longsword from her belt instead.)

This part gets a lot wrong. “I’ll simply have to kill you with this” is effectively the opposite of what Revis was saying. She was saying that if she had kept using the cursed weapon, she’d accidentally kill Ais, so she changed swords.

「『風』を使っておけよ、アリア」  直後、女の身に纏う空気が一変する。 「死なれては──あとで面倒だ」  レヴィスは地を蹴り砕いた。 「──っっ!?」かき消える速度の肉薄に、アイズの目が見開かれた。  衝撃、轟音。防御に構えた剣ごと横手に吹き飛ばされる。  踏鞴を踏む彼女に秒を待たず迫る剛撃。『技』をもって咄嗟にこれを往なすも、レヴィスの乱舞に捕まった。  霞む斬撃に何本もの金の髪が散り、衝撃によって管ごと床石が巻き上げられ、器材も巻き添えを喰らう。  視界に広がる圧倒的な破壊の光景を前に、アイズに選択の余地はなかった。 「【目覚めよ】!!」  発動する【エアリエル】。風の付与魔法が解放される。  研ぎ澄まされた風の剣と鎧を身に纏い、アイズは怪人に応戦した。  

“You’d better use the Wind, Aria.”
The very next instant, the air around the woman’s body changed completely.
“If you die… it’ll be troublesome later.”
Revis crushed the ground beneath her feet.
“—!?”
Ais’s eyes flew wide open at the speed with which Revis closed in, so fast it seemed to erase herself from sight.
Impact.
A thunderous roar.
Together with the sword she had raised to defend herself, Ais was blasted sideways.
Before she had even a second to recover her footing, another crushing blow bore down on her.
She instinctively diverted this with technique, but was trapped in Revis’s wild dance.
Several strands of golden hair scattered beneath the blurring slash, the impact tore up even the floor stones together with the pipes, while nearby equipment was caught in the destruction as well.
Faced with the overwhelming spectacle of devastation spreading before her eyes, Ais had no choice.
“Awaken!!”
Ariel activated.
The wind enchantment was released.
Clad in a sharpened sword and armor of wind, Ais fought back against the creature.

(“Your wind, Aria. I want to see it.”
In that instant, the aura around Levis changed.
“I wouldn’t want you dying too quickly on me.”
She leaped, splitting the ground beneath her.
“Hngh?!”
It was too fast, invisible almost, and Aiz’s pupils dilated in disbelief.
Then came the impact and, with it, a roar that shook the entirety of the room. The sword she’d raised in defense was nearly flung from her hands.
Levis didn’t stop there, her next strike hitting before Aiz even had a chance to find her footing. And though she managed to parry just in time thanks to her skill, the crazed dance kept her confined to one place.
The attacks came at her in a blur, sending locks of her golden hair flying; the ground, the pipes, everything crashed and tumbled around her as the glass of the tanks shattered beneath the frenzied blade.
Aiz could barely think, let alone plan out any sort of strategy as the room around her transformed into a scene of utter carnage.
“Awaken, Tempest!!” she cried out, activating her wind enchantment, Airiel. She leaped at the creature, armor of wind engulfing her body and honing her sword.)

“I want to see it” is off too.

が──。 「人間共は、本当に仲間の死に敏感だな」  呼応するようにレヴィスの速度が上昇する。  風の鎧を前に、もう全力でぶつかっても命を奪う心配はなくなったかのように。

But—“You humans really are sensitive about the deaths of your comrades.”
As though responding to that, Revis’s speed increased.
As if, now that the armor of wind stood before her, she no longer had to worry about killing Ais even if she attacked with her full strength.

(Only.
“You humans. So affected by the death of your companions.”
Levis’s speed simply rose to meet hers.
It seemed that even before Aiz’s armor of wind, she was no longer worried that one full-powered hit could very well end her life.)

Revis increasing her speed more clearly shows she hadn’t been going all out against Ais, unlike against Finn, where her intent was to execute him.

「動揺が透けて見えるぞ」 「────」  吹き荒ぶ風の隙間を縫って攻撃を織り成し、アイズの視界を圧迫する。  そして振り上げられた長剣が、力任せにアイズの剣を弾いた。  気流から千切られる風の残滓、消失する防御。  生じた隙を摑み取り、レヴィスは容赦なく渾身の袈裟切りを放った。 「私の勝ちだな、アリア」  風の鎧を断ち、斜め一閃に刻まれる赤の軌跡。 「あ──」  胸当てが斬り裂かれ、体から大量の血飛沫が舞う。灼熱の激痛とともに、必殺の一撃がアイズに叩き込まれた。

“Your agitation is plain to see.”
────
Weaving through the gaps in the raging wind and attacking, Revis pressed in on Ais’s field of vision.
Then the raised longsword struck, batting Ais’s sword away through sheer brute force.
Fragments of wind were torn away from the air currents.
Her defense disappeared.
Seizing the opening that appeared, Revis mercilessly unleashed a full-powered kesa-giri—a diagonal cut from shoulder to opposite hip.
“My victory, Aria.”
The armor of wind was cleaved apart, and a crimson line was carved in a single diagonal flash.
“Ah—”
Her breastplate was split open, and a great spray of blood burst from her body.
Together with searing agony, the decisive, killing blow was driven into Ais.

(“Your emotions betray you.”
“”
Her attacks came at carefully timed intervals now to slip between the gaps of the raging gale dominating Aiz’s field of vision.
With one well-placed strike, she sent Aiz’s sword flying.
Her wind was reduced to feeble shreds, leaving her with no defense.
Levis seized the opening, directing one powerful downward strike toward the defenseless Sword Princess.
“I win, Aria.”
Cutting through what remained of her armor of wind, the sword carved a diagonal crimson slash in the air.
“Ah”
It was a direct hit, plunging through her breastplate in a cascade of blood.
Like fire, the searing pain overtook her body as Levis’s killing blow struck home.)

The Japanese says fragments of wind were torn away from the air current, but the official TL says her wind was reduced to feeble shreds. JP says cutting through the armor of wind, but the official TL went with “cutting through what remained of her armor of wind.” Nothing implied the armor was mostly gone. “No defense” should simply be referring to Ais’s sword arm being flung away.

This might be my least favourite scene so far. (Maybe across both Wistoria and DanMachi)

I didn’t like how Will was so oblivious here. He questions it for a grand total of one panel, but basically spends the whole time as a gag character.

In the Japanese raw, Workner doesn’t say “A mirage spell…? Really now?” but rather, “A mirage spell…? No but, I’m sure that was…”. This makes it worse for me somehow, the way the whole thing is sincere rather than ironic or highlighting Elfie’s brazenness in showing up as a clone.

When I see Rosti looking heartbroken over Will’s trauma during their hug, it feels performative. Why is Elfie still hiding the truth at this point? (Not criticising Elfie here, but the writing.)
