Chapter 176
Judgement, Part 3 (
Summary
As Polnareff walks through the tall grass, he spots a female figure in the distance. He asks the figure if it's who he thinks she is, but he loses sight of her when two birds fly upward in front of him. He chases after her, calling her name as Judgement lingers over him, watching. As he runs, Polnareff notices the birds laying on the ground, decapitated. However, before he can react, he notices Sherry standing nearby. Polnareff asks why she is running away, and she replies that she doesn't want him to see her. He tries approaching her, but she yells at him to stay away due to the fear that he'll hate her. Polnareff denies this stating that he will always love her. As he gets closer, Sherry turns toward Polnareff, revealing a giant sore over her right eye. Suddenly she attacks Polnareff, biting at his neck. Polnareff tries to retaliate with Silver Chariot, but she flees into the tall grass. Sherry reveals that she must feed on Polnareff to regain her humanity. Polnareff yells for Cameo, and Judgement appears. Polnareff wishes for Sherry to vanish, but Judgement refuses. He mocks Polnareff for his weakness and for his desire to bring the dead back to life. Judgement also points out that Polnareff has already made his third wish, and reveals a fake Muhammad Avdol standing behind him.
