[Miserys_End]

That wasn't the only person absorbed by that priest or that demon, she's just the one taken in that town.

NGL, what you're implying makes even less sense then the book spitting out only a single person. Because Laura's mother wasn't absorbed in that location either, so why whould she get special treatment other then magical hand-wave-y BS?

 

[Pandacyborg]

Well I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect the evil priest to just give up and die. I kept waiting for some reveal that he was still alive somewhere so this is a great resolution.
I’m guessing the priest only absorbed the mother but the demon has absorbed others through other people, so that demon will be the next big baddie?

I would imagine that Laura's mother was the only person absorbed by the priest, specifically--and that she was sealed in that book because the priest was using her latent magics to bolster himself, thereby requiring that he "keep her close at hand". I went back through to re-read, and saw no mention of the priest taking others beyond the mother (and attempting to take Laura herself), so I think the mom was the only one he dealt with personally.

So when he died, the demon dispossessed his body, the book lost its magic, and she was unsealed--allowing for her to return to this reality/dimension/what-have-you and be rescued by Kachua & Co.But, the others purportedly absorbed by the demon were done so independently of the priest, and therefore are "kept" elsewhere, perhaps in other objects/phylacteries/etc. That would explain why Laura's Mom came out of the unsealed book all on her own.

There might be other humans/beings like the priest that are also powered-up by absorbed humans that they'll have to deal with as well--since they defeated the transformed priest, but not the demon who'd been making contracts with him / Laura's Mom / others.

Maybe it's one per book, to use their powers, like all the other stories where someone traps people in weapons to make Demon Swords. On the other hand, it could be that each book is for collecting similar powers and abilities, and he had some open pages to add Laura in alongside her mom.

I still kind of wished Rick was the one to finish off his own story with at least an assist from Kumakichi.

While you are correct there is no specific mention of any other victims, the cultist didn't seem the type of person who wouldn't capture other individuals for his own personal power. Especially when his rise to power is a completely unknown as are his actions in the years since Rona was taken.

So while true he might have sacrificed some of his victims to appease his inner demon, there would still be those he used to augment his own power.

To me that rings hollow. He exhibits to many divergent abilities. Summoning for one, surveillance magic, along with teleportation and body augmentation. While true those could all be granted by his demon contract, it also could just as likely be corrupted versons of abilities stolen from others.

And yes I know this is just speculation, but it just feels wrong that this dud would spend literally years in pursuit of his perfection and only grab one white mage to steal power from.

did the artist took inspirations from BNHA or something ??? the artstyle is almost similar, damn...

Then maybe he still gets a lesser effect from any captive souls he sends off to his Demon, and he only had this one Holy book on him at the time, since he was trying to capture Holy powers, like from Laura and that one Holy stone from the Goddess.

True one book, but that book has many pages. Also does he ever really use white magic? There is a possible use of regeneration while he face tanks any damage he doesn’t dodge, but we never see any other form of white magic. Instead he summons demons, transforms his body into that of a demon, spies on people from a distance, and kidnaps kids with short ranged teleports.

I can't definitely prove your theory wrong, but things just don't add up. He doesn't use the power of the person we know he captured, and used no less then 5 abilities leading upto and during combat. Yet no one else is present to account for those abilities.

 

[MadlySoldier]

I see the evil priest react that way because he was expecting MC (Momain Character) to either be angry, or disgust at priest's action and 0 remorse, only to find her reaction to be sorrowful NOT because priest's 0 remorse, but that "if you have someone good guiding you in your life, maybe you won't end like this" reaction. mf only see the world in very edgy way of "me die or you die world, it's only me world" and got slap in the face with MOM mindset

 

[blablablub]

Mama saved. Demonio would be proud

 

[MtWill]

what? it only absorbed one person?

The priest captured Rino for her healing abilities and white magic resistance but had to keep her alive to maintain this. I'm assuming that the priest was going to absorb Laura too in order to strengthen these buffs.

However, these aren't all the people absorbed by the demon itself. It seems that each contractor of this particular demon has their own captives, all of whom are also captive to the demon.

I believe this mini-arc was intended to show some very basic character arcs (i.e. Laura becoming a bit more mature), yet more so to (1) give us a glimpse into Kachua's abilities using a minor mob boss, so that it doesn't feel like a complete asspull when she uses it later, and (2) introduce us to this demon as an antagonist further on.

Hence why the resolution feels quite cheap: this chapter is definitely not the end of this particular plotline, and is at most building up to the demons later on.

y'know what?
Sure, it works.

Sometimes a story is just that of love and family and bonds and beating the shit out of bad guys and everyone good comes out okay in the end.
This never promised to be anything super nuanced and complex, so acting like it should start now feels like me being silly. Every now and then you want the good guys to take home the W, or in this case, the Mom.

Thanks for the TL.

While I agree, the issue to begin with was introducing tragedy into the story, especially if it's going to have no weight.

Thanks for the translation.


Mommy saving mommy

[RanmaChaos]

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[zatchkim]

Wait so is priest guy implying the mom is possessed by the demon still?

 

[snip36]

W is just an upside-down M.
