Yes.. and no recoil effect from that neither? bs indeed.Thanks for the TL!
Insta-kill? Seriously? That's just bullshit.
To be fair, he only knew in advance that “a skilled party” would be arriving, and odds are that the skilled party would use that strategy, if they were going so far as to use the assassin to map out the dungeon beforehand. It wasn’t until the moment that they actually entered the dungeon that Rick became aware that Allen was gonna be participating in the raid, rather than “an unknown skilled party”Rick sure is kinda stupid huh. In this batch of chapters he was not only thoroughly outclassed as an alchemist but even with basic strategy. He spent how much time with an arrogant brute like Allen that relies totally on brute force and went yeah they'll infiltrate the castle. No they won't Allen's a moron of course he'll go through the entrance.
Tony's power is certainly broken but it doesn't really matter from the perspective of would he be a good hero. Allen is only as strong as Tony's base strength when his hero skill activates. Allen being the hero at all, even disregarding his personality, doesn't make sense when Tony seems a similar age and is way stronger than him at almost all times.
It’s less so “he’s fighting at his best every 28 days”, and moreso “he’s even stronger than he already is, via a trump card occurring every 28 days”, the difference being the implication of what he’s capable of achieving outside of that 28th dayIt sure sucks for Rick and Allen, but I can't imagine "I'm sorry, our hero can only fight at his best at night once every 28 days" (without any further information I'll just assume lunar cycles there to be as long as on earth) to look very useful to anyone seeking to employ him.
Well at some point Allen would've had to be chosen as the hero right? Whenever that was Tony was probably still stronger than Allen at that point. Normally these stories just make the bad hero a hero solely based on them possessing a specific skill, or chosen by god, but I don't remember if it's the case here.To be fair, he only knew in advance that “a skilled party” would be arriving, and odds are that the skilled party would use that strategy, if they were going so far as to use the assassin to map out the dungeon beforehand. It wasn’t until the moment that they actually entered the dungeon that Rick became aware that Allen was gonna be participating in the raid, rather than “an unknown skilled party”
Also, in regards to how Allen is the hero instead of Tony, even though Tony is stronger, it’s exactly because of that - Tony is literally in the middle of acquiring Allen’s position as hero, and they are directly in the middle of performing the act you mentioned. Is Tony stronger? Yes. Is Tony overall better? Yes. The emphasis is that he isn’t a hero [yet], because he’s basically just claiming all of Allen’s fame for himself. That’s my understanding, at least
Also, as an aside that’s unrelated to the reply
Holy shit, Allen is actually capable of putting his displeasure of working with someone to the side for 0.02 microseconds in order to do his job????
Thanks for the TL!
Insta-kill? Seriously? That's just bullshit.
Considering that the skill can only be activated once a month for just a 6 hour time window it's a fair trade off.Yes.. and no recoil effect from that neither? bs indeed.
That's appreciated. Because I honestly forgot who Victor was.I got lost several chapters back, so here's a party recap. (Strikemeans no longer in party)
Allen Cole Hero Party
Tony Party
- Victor Goldsmith (Tank)
Rick(Alchemist MC) Kicked by Allen due to Allen's arrogance.Matilda Olson(Mage) Died to due to Cockatrice venom, due to Allen's rash actions.Fitz Raison(Martial Artist) Retired. Lost lower leg due to Allen's rash actions.Albert Raito(Attacker) Presumed Dead. Fitz's replacement. Lost and abandoned in dungeon, thanks to Allen.Mary Plato(Healer) Left party denouncing Allen as a total non-Hero.- Dorma (Alchemist) Rick's replacement. (Short black hair with glasses.)
- Christopher Perez (Mage)
- Eirin Seeger (Healer) (Looks similar to Dorma, but eyepatch, no glasses.)
Liez Clement(Assassin A) Dead from Rick's trap + Tony's coup de grace.
Holy fuck, you would think Victor and Dorma would run for the hills after the complete and utter decimation of their group.Allen Cole Hero Party
- Victor Goldsmith (Tank)

This was somewhat explained in Ch 24, where Victor warned Dorma that the party goes through members like a man chronic diarhea goes through underwear. Essentially, the people joining were not the best, but rather good enough + desperate/driven enough to take the risk of being discarded.Holy fuck, you would think Victor and Dorma would run for the hills after the complete and utter decimation of their group.
