I think I just went through 17 chapters and 21 pages to read one panel. Wow.
It's a great answer to that terrible "rapey villain" trope, too. They really cut out 100% of the bullshit; mess with someone out of your league? No hesitation, brutal disembowlment.
I don't usually pay much mind to gore, but its use here I think is particularly effective in its juxtaposition with an otherwise calm, clean, and orderly chapter, with which it becomes an absolutely explosive payoff. The lingering blood and shock from Ruti's victim haunts the remaining panels of the scene. Even with magical healing, the actions that have been done cannot ever be truly undone. The pains of the past, while no longer physically present, are forever carved into, if not their surroundings, the minds of the characters.
