Made in Abyss Chapter 011

Incinerator is the eleventh chapter of the Made in Abyss manga series.

Synopsis
Reg fires his extending arm to grab Riko, but is repeatedly blocked by other Corpse-Weepers swooping into his path. Riko is helpless, due to suffering from 2nd layer ascension strains, as she is carried toward a nest where Corpse-Weeper chicks will feed on her. Several Corpse-Weepers attack Reg together, and he blacks out briefly. Reg's body suddenly recalls its own power, and he fires a wide beam, obliterating everything in its path; killing the Corpse-Weeper carrying Riko. Reg uses his extending arms to catch her, and the surviving Corpse-Weepers fly away. Riko seems unharmed but is still suffering from ascension strain. Reg is disturbed by the realization that if his aim had been off, he would have killed Riko.

Riko wakes up, finding Reg nearby and herself topless. Greatly flustered, Reg explains that he got worried when she didn't wake up right away, so he checked her for possible wounds. Riko thanks him, then notices the nearby destruction. Instead of being disturbed by the idea that he could have killed her, as Reg feared, Riko is amazed by Reg's beam, which she names Incinerator, and has faith that he will master it one day, which she is eager to help him do.
