'She's horrifying…'
The Holy Maiden of Celestia exuded an insidious aura much like the one Vale had felt when he'd met Diligence. Only, her pressure was much more grounded in reality.
While Diligence made him feel a crushing sense of helplessness and inferiority, Rivania made him feel fear.

A fear that cared not for [Defiance].
Yet Grady steadily marched along her bridge without care.
Eric and the other two knights stayed behind — Cole maintaining his transformation — meaning once they met in the middle, it would be just the three of them facing Rivania.
While Vale hadn't even glimpsed a morsel of Grady's strength, he could tell it wasn't enough to come close to defeating the Holy Maiden.
