Madan no Ou to Vanadis

[shinta|hikari]

Actually, Vanadis aren't that all powerful. They are pretty vulnerable to assassination, for one.

This isn't a spoiler because it already happened in the first episode, but the details were cut out. I will tag it anyway and keep it in white text.

Not really a spoiler:

Tigre actually almost killed Elen in their first encounter. The only reason she was able to block his arrows was because he aimed straight at her forehead, twice. Elen deduced where he would aim there because that was where he shot the horses. If Tigre had aimed at her horse or her body, she would have been killed.

#fafafa matches the background. Observe!

You say that, yet she routinely blocks those types of shots with her sword's wind barriers. She can detect the disturbances in the air directly. She did nothing to activate the barrier besides invoking it, but it hit the exact spot the crossbow bolt came it at. Without her moving at all.

Maybe the others are vulnerable to assassination, but we haven't seen any of them yet. I don't believe for a second that Eleonora shares that weak point.
