All Of Us, Alive (
Synopsis[]
Emma and the others finally beat Leuvis; Mister and Lucas reunite; Oliver wanted to sacrifice himself to save the dying Emma.
Plot[]
This chapter picks up shortly before where last week’s left off, with the dramatic defeat of Leuvis. After numerous casulaties and failed strategies, Emma and her allies finally manage to take down the strongest demon at Goldy Pond. Leuvis smiles as he dies, happy to have found targets capable of standing up to him.
We get a brief glimpse at several of Leuvis’s memories before he dies. There’s a beautifully rendered page consisting of glass shards adorned by images of the past, and they hint at connections to previously established characters and concepts. For example, both Musica and Sung-Joo are present in Leuvis’s flashbacks. Though those two helped the Grace Field House kids escape, it’s been revealed that they’re far from sympathetic to humans’ plights.
With Leuvis out of the way, the heroes can set their sights on the next tasks at hand.
Unfortunately, things are complicated by the group’s injuries. Emma desperately needs medical care that isn’t available at Goldy Pond. She’ll need to be hurried back to the Mister’s bunker for treatment, but the party is too large and fatigued to lead over quickly enough to save Emma’s life. Someone’s going to have to stay behind–and with an unknown number of demons still attending to Lord Bayon’s estate, whoever does is in mortal peril. No matter what decisions they make, the heroes are risking death on all fronts.

Research Elements[]
In this chapter we have the following Research Elements:
- 94.1 - As Leuvis' life flashed before his eyes moments before he collapsed. Several people, demons and locations were shown in his flashback.
- 94.1.1 - Leuvis seemed to know, or at least met Sonju and Mujika at some point in his life.
- 94.1.2 - Humans dressed in labcoats were shown. They resembled a human who worked in the premium farms back when Krone stealed a pen the human dropped in Chapter 23.
- 94.1.3 - A young Bayon was shown with Leuvis in his private garden. It is the same garden and argubly the same year (about 800 years ago) when the two interacted back in Chapter 84 in Bayon's flashback.
- 94.1.4 - The location, Cuvitidala, was shown. It was further explored later in Chapter 99 to Chapter 101.
- 94.1.5 - Nous, Nouma and Luce were shown. The scene with the three in Leuvis' flashback reflected how they are allies and teammates in poaching.
- 94.1.6 - Leuvis' pet Palvus was shown without its little crown.
- 94.1.7 - A group of humans armed with spears were shown. They resembled the humans that Sonju mentioned to Emma and Ray back in Chapter 47.
- 94.2 - The deceased siblings of Theo's, Jake and Monica, were shown once again in Violet's flashback.
