A picture showing Kaori Laennetha Hatsura at the time of her glory, meditating with the Lotus Sutra of the wonderful law, below Astharoth's three eyes. The kanji above her is the Tao, the "path".

Hakka's new powers revealed. The two kanjis used for the incantation are stylized kanjis for tào/dào which means "the Way, the Path".
By the way, the circular kanjis text written around Hakka is an excerpt from the "Heart of the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra" (Maka Hannya Haramitta Shingyō).

The English translation is:

Preamble:

The Buddha’s teaching: the Heart of the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra

Sutra:

The Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara,
while practicing the profound Prajña Paramita, the Perfection of Wisdom,
illuminated the Five Aggregates and found them empty,
by degress cutting off all afflictions and suffering.

However, it's only the preamble and the first part of the Sutra itself. The translation in English has been provided by Doug.

Poor Chancela. She just doesn't understand Hakka and Astharoth's souls sharing only one body and doesn't know who is the real owner of the very body. Also, Hakka would prevent her to get involved more deeply in her own war, who is far to be a simple battle against some guys in armor…
