I really like how the author is utilizing Nell because those troll parts she put in her gave her the strength to save Luna. Granted, Nell feels too nice to actually fight, but when push comes to shove she isn't a liability at least.
Meynard really going out of his way to manipulate the townspeople is fukking insane. I mean the King was more so the reason why Clevatess killed the King and his people. Of course, just putting the blame on Alicia is an easy way to manipulate them. To be honest, just threatening them might be enough because there really shouldn't be anything they can do against Meynard & Chiffonlits.
Drell is much more dangerous than anyone anticipated. Some form of magic that can use the claw of the Dark Dragon? That will do numbers on any human opponent. Though I was surprised Clevatess made his appearance. To my understanding now is the spell that Drell used made of Dark Ichor and the body that comes out of it should be Dark Ichor as well. Though Clevatess can manipulate Dark Ichor so I can't imagine him staying for there for too long. I guess the only thing I wonder is how this Dark Ichor is different from the one Clevatess uses. Though I assume the only thing that is different is that the Dark Ichor that is inside Alicia is made from him while the magic Drell uses is different.
On a side note, Chiffonlits says she uses her Axe to fly. I wonder if this is a combination of her having the axe stick to her while using magic to also make the Axe fly?
