Most likely noble politics. Higher rank means better authority but also more threats from peers.
Doing that would definitely draw too much attention from other nobles and alert them that something's up.
I don't know if the curse aura will worsen it, but I'm guessing that it's a disease likely related to living near mining activities. Kyle's reaction to coughing blood implies that he's had it for a while.
I think it was mentioned that it can be cast twice or thrice without ill-effects. Though since it was also mentioned that it consumes caster's life force, the "ill-effects" is likely straight up death.
Yup, a decoy lol.
Still, I totally forgot about how his 'sad backstory' didn't match with the fact that his name is written in black (i.e. he's never killed anyone).
Impaled then cut in half. The graphic brutality feels out of nowhere, but gives the twist more impact.
Though, anyone else found it strange that Nyaru didn't speak at all from the morning onward? Her facial expression also remained weirdly static.
Well, my line of thinking is that he personally made a promise and he's from a noble family so he should've known better to maintain his own words.
But he has outstanding circumstances with looming god-tier threat and from his point of view it's been 11 years due to him spending 5 years...
Thinking about it, for Cain himself it's been much longer than 6 years thanks to the Hyperbolic Time Chamber training he had. I guess it's still understandable that he forgot.
The guy was boasting about Rurika's chest, but the picture of her in the panel seems to put more emphasis on her thighs.
As a thigh lover, I still approve.
Yes, though the word shouted was "Offset!". I think the last time I saw it used was in chapter 58, when Jangni repelled Ozu's interrogation once at the cost of all his mp.
I think someone said that in the LN Alan tells everyone present that the dragon is the one he had 'tamed' and she came because she had sensed that he was in danger.
