"But if people die here they just wake up! So if it's not people in there, what is?" Apparently the answer to that is either 'don't ask' or 'a giant horde of Torments'.
At the mention of possibly having to fight something especially terrifying she gives him a tiny glare back, mostly because she's too busy fending off Torments to offer a more accurate gesture, "That's fine with me! While it's busy trying to gnaw on my leg you can stick it in the eye with your knife." After a brief pause she adds half under her breath, "Thanks for the save earlier." Zeal would be more enthusiastic about it if it wasn't for the menacing gleam on that knife.
When Chaosbringer offers up a contingency plan in case a nightmare shows up she calls out, "I have shields! ...though they're attached to me!" She doesn't have any problems interposing herself between something dangerous and someone providing fire support though. In fact, that's what she'd prefer to be doing!
As the giant electric sword sends a swath of Torments flying she notices the Torments starting to shift their focus from her, the cause of this giant mess and the one that enraged them in the first place, to Chaosbringer, who so far seems to be the greatest direct cause of their inability to reach her. He's successfully parrying and holding them off, but the swarm is so great that one torment inevitably gets on his flank. With another cry of, "Terra Shield!" Zeal rushes in, the glow of her shields leaving a streak of green as she intercepts an attack by bashing the swing directly with her shield on the windup. A few more blocking parries of her own and some bashes with her shield and it's clear that while she can clearly hold her own, she's not making much progress in damaging or driving off the attacker.
"Hey Chaos dude, batter up!" she cries, abruptly changing tactics and diving between the legs of the Torment as it attacks her and twisting around on the ground so she can spring up with a full powered jump to smash her shield into the side of it, not harming it so much as sending it flying towards Chaosbringer and his huge, powerful sword.
Hearing Sudo's suggestion to move apart she calls, "Got it!" and backpedals, trying to form a wider front with Hanako and Chaosbringer, doing her best to hold off the advance of the Torments while the two Strikers can deal some damage. Of course she gets very distracted after seeing the Torment get attacked by Sudo's creepy creature.
"Woah, cool!" Her eyes go wide as saucers, "What'd happen if you did that to me!?" To the likely dismay of everyone, there's not a hint of fear in her voice.
