Chapter 86

Battle Power is the eighty-sixth chapter of The Promised Neverland Manga.

Synopsis
Ray and Mister helped Violet kill Nous ; Leuvis waited patiently for his comrades to arrive, but to no avail.

Plot
These are unknowns that surround their reemergence amidst the conflict between the Goldy Pond Resistance and the Poachers. Nevertheless, both Ray and Mister are quick to pick up on Violet's predicament and enact a plan to finally defeat Nous.

Lewis' conversation with Emma is a telling one. There are clear indicators in his speech pattern, and mindset that mark him as decidedly intellectual. His demon physiology allows him to freely overpower his enemies, but he derives a greater pleasure from psychological combat. This mindset has been evidenced by his earlier bet against Lucas - a tactic that is now mirrored by Emma - and his deep-seated desire to relive actual hunts. In truth, the current capabilities of the Goldy Pond Resistance were largely enabled because of his position as an apex predator and his personal fancy for excitement in an otherwise droll lifestyle.

The chapter sees the start of the end as Emma faces down Lewis in a final fight for survival. Distressingly, the majority of the Resistance members have been injured, and while Lewis may no longer have any backup it is clear that his combat abilities are more than adequate to take on our young heroine. With Nigel rushing to her aid, and Ray back in the picture, there is a small glimmer of hope still visible to us.
