Let's hope they keep up the 31 page chapters, eh?

00
summary of characters / story until now.

01
left vert: As if being controlled by someone else, Clare is drawn right before the fused body of Luciela and Rafaela...but just then...!?

-Stop, Jean
-Someone nearby is trying to hide themselves...
-Someone considerably powerful...

-What?

-I thought I had found you at last...
-...but here I find 2...

02
SCENE 92 - Soul Inscription

-Which one of you is Clare?

bold: Lost in the billowing sea of consciousness, Clare encounters Rafaela!

YAGI NORIHIRO (below)

03
-Rafaela...

-Stand back, Jean!
-She's no enemy you...

-Jean...?

-What's wrong?
-There was never anyone beside you

-Don't give me that!
-You yourself just asked which one was me!

04
-No, wait...
-Jean died in the Northern War...

-Kuh...!!

05
-W-WAIT!!
-What is the meaning of this?
-After all, you...

-What about me?

06
-Ngh...!

-D-damn...
-How can this be happening...!?

-I'd pay more attention if I were you. The damage you take here is proportional.
-The more injuries you sustain, the more damage accumulates, and eventually that body will be annihilated

-Losing your form here is synonymous with death...
-So if you don't want to die, you must slay me!

07
-Kuh...!

-After 7 long years' worth of extensive training...
-this is all you amount to?

-Shit!!

08
-WINDCUTTER

09
-Bastard...
-you monster...!

-Too slow...
-Far too slow!!

10 pwn'd

11

12
-Oh, I see...

-I'm inside your mind...
-You drew my consciousness into your mind...

-Drew you in?

-I am not to be accused for any of this.
-YOU are the one who barged inside

13
-I lost every shred of emotion a long time ago
-I am all that is left, a consciousness without a name
-And I, too, was vanishing...or should I say, supposed to

-While I was in deep slumber, someone made contact within me...
-And then you came and greatly stirred that awakened consciousness

-What...?

-My appearance, my form...everything is a fabrication of your memories
-Were not that location, as well as those people, properties of the memories you hold of the past?

-Thus, a person I used to be is being re-constructed by the merit of those memories
-Most likely to convey to you something of grave importance...

14
-Rafaela...
sfx bubbles: bishi (crackling)
-is trying to tell me something!?

-You are committing...
-...a serious mistake

-I-I don't understand
-What have I done wrong?

-Sorry, but there's little time left
-My physical body is in the process of Awakening...

15
-After this duel is over...
-You'll find the answer, with that mental form of yours

-If I slay your mental body,
-Then what will happen to you?

-My appearance and personality are originally a product of your borrowed memories to begin with
-Besides, my existence was fated to be destroyed the moment this creature Awakened

16
-I see...

sfx x3: Biri

-If my Windcutter was too slow for you,
-Then there's only one other technique I can think of...

17
sfx bubs x3: Biki
-My greatest technique...
-One that I sealed away together with my Youki...

-Perfect.
-Go ahead and give me all you've got

18
-But be warned:
-If that last technique of yours is unable to slay me, I will slay you
-As I mentioned earlier, the death of your consciousness is equivalent with physical death

-With the annihilation of your consciousness...
-your fleshly body, back in the physical world, will become nothing but a mere corpse

-Thank you
-But your concern is unnecessary
sfx x3: biki

-Oh?

19
-Her Youki vanished...?

-No!

-She's...it can't be...
-Her right arm alone...!?

20-21 TAKE UP SPACE

22
-You fully Awakened
-your right arm, alone...

-That was the Quick Sword. (t/n - official translation)
-The trademark technique of the former No. 2, Irene

-You don't say...

23
-RAFAELA---!!

-With this, my reconstructed mind is annihilated
---the true death of the one you call Rafaela

-...gh!!

24 not the clothes...
-...uh
-kuh...!

25 anything but the clothes!
-I give all to you
-Every last one of my memories

-My joy, my anguish, my rage...
-my hatred...and love

-And along with my surging emotions...
-Is the answer to that which you must learn

-Kuh...
-Ngh...
-Rafaela...
-You...!

26-27 poor clothes...
-Inscribe it into your soul...
-This is everything I have within me

28
-What in the world...
-At first I thought it was Clare's Youki peaking, but now...this...

-this train of emotions...
sfx bubs x3: biri
-It's like someone's entire life is flashing before us...

-Ri-
-Riful...
-Wha-!?

-You're kidding me
-This is beyond my wildest expectations...

29
-Hey, Deneve!!
-This Youki is...!
-Indeed.

-A Youki unlike one we've ever felt before...
-Something unlike Riful and Isley's...
-Something...immense...

30
-Wha-
-What the!?

-Alicia!
-Beth!

-Report to the Organization, on the double...
-There's a brand new Youki in the vicinity of Riful the Abyssal One's location

-Together with Riful,
-We will vanquish both targets.

31
-Hey, what's the matter?
-Why're you standing there?

-...born
-what??

-Something big...
-has just been born over there...

left: It Awakens. Something entirely new...

Hello! Thanks for the translation!

That said, um, you translated 「強大な。。。」 as "Something far greater...", but doesn't it just mean "Powerful..."? I'm asking because I know people use the translations to do power level discussions. Sorry to bother you.

In fact, that actually means "mighty".

The reason I phrased it the way I did is because of context. Particularly 3 chapters or so ago, there was a mental dialogue by Renee that clearly implied this new being, whatever it is, may be far stronger than even the Abyssal Ones. Perhaps it is facetious of me to assume that it is, but I feel all the signs saying it will. Take that line with a grain of salt, it's open-ended.

lol it means both mighty and powerful.

The nuance is in scale.
I can see you used jedict, which is not very comprehensive.
Here's more synonyms:

1. elephantine
2. husky
3. imperial
4. tremendous

Perception of scale can be subjective though. ;-) I went with "powerful" over "mighty" simply because "powerful" connotes a grander sense of scale for me. You could always go with words like "colossal," "titanic," "towering," etc. Those do seem more fitting.

You're right, jedict is not very comprehensive; I've experienced its limitations first-hand. And, 「強大」 translated through edict does seem as though it means roughly the same as 「強い」, but fortunately this is where the advantage of the Japanese language comes into play. The kanji 大 tells us that 「強大」 is of a far greater scale than 「強い」. (-: Also, if you have any other recommendations over edict, I'd love that.

Anyway, what I meant to draw attention to with the word "just" was that in the original Japanese, Deneve didn't do any comparison, so it felt somewhat weird that you injected that, and, what's more, that people would probably quote your translation on it as though that were written in the original Japanese.

At any rate, I don't mean to sound ingrate, so once again, thank you for translating this. :-)

No, not at all--i welcome this type of discussion. Since when do I get any critique of my translations?

To better reflect the literal script, I changed those lines to be intentionally more vague. Sorry if I've thrown fire on the power level arguments.

I think any translation can be used if it describles the word properly.

"Since when do I get any critique of my translations?"

Hehe, maybe because you translated more freely this time than you usually do. But man, I wish I got comments on my translations now and then, seems a lot more fun that way.
