The decaying smell of the old man made the furnace explode like farting to the fiery stove.

thank god clevatess saved Luna, pretty much the king confessed being a puppet of the furnace, so him being attacked by the heroes was actually an order by the furnace, so why would he allow Luna to be controlled too.

Nice chapter all around, pretty cool entrance by the ice knight too, thanks for the ts as always.

Bad manipulative fireplace! No more baby for you!

 

[tobias5678]

I guess clevatess should just grow tits and provide milk to the boi baby.

All this hassle because she possessed the wrong body.

 

[goro-goro]

i bet it was the furnance who command the king to slay beast kings

Oh... it seems that there is even more to the whole "monopoly of resources" than I had thought.

And at least a few people weren't exactly blind to some of the "plotholes" in that hero "system".

Clevatess is having a blast with this, just this reveal must be making him think that sparing Luna was worth it.

I want to say one thing that I don't want to happen in this series, it is a little long-winded... Iwahara-sensei has the habit of escalating things too quickly at the end of his stories, what I mean by that is more or less this... Studio Trigger for quite some time was infamous for making the last battle in their animes always happen in space, but the setup of that was always quite forced, so much so that it became a meme, Iwahara-sensei has a similar problem, in the last part of his stories things always seem to become too big which takes away something of the "intimacy" his stories had before that point.

I don't have a problem with a bombastic finale... but he doesn't make the transition smooth, things go from "localized destruction" directly to "universal stakes", there is a middle ground that he doesn't land into before going for that explosive moment, and I think when he or any author does that... it is like they want to put a complete stop in their story like after they stop writing it... there isn't anything anymore.

I like it when authors construct a world that feels alive enough that it can "live on" even if they don't write about it anymore.

There will be new problems and dangers, but new people will rise up to the challenge even after the heroes we followed pass away because that is how life is... as long as life exists new things will happen.

So I hope that when this series concludes, Iwahara-sensei allows this world to still "exist", and I hope he can make this transition smoothly.

Wonder what the Lord of the Furnace had planned? An endless pointless war against devil kings? Preservation of an eternal kingdom? Just no idea.

Maybe it's THE Beast King slain in the legend of Hero.

Given the rise from ash theme, probably Phoenix.

And when the Hero then used its body to make the furnace, it revived and has been planning its revenge.
Like, the whole 'sacrifice the king to become king' is probably something IT introduced over time.
After all since only the king can enter this place, it wouldn't be too hard to kill one, make a copy and puppet it around.

Sending the 13 after Clev is probably either it wanting to kill other Beast King and become the sole king, or it's trying to trigger other Beast King to have them destroy humanity.
Which so far has mixed result (Clev is looking to figure out the truth, the dragon driving Dorel want to kill this thing instead)

Starting to look like MtG's New Phyrexia, The Blazing Furnace

Maybe nothing just want something burning.

 

[goodknife]

so we have beast king at home

 

[ZenMasters]

This is shaping up to be real good. LET IT SIMMER!!!

 

[tobias5678]

I knew it. No status screens are the best. Shangri-la Frontier is an epic fail.

 

[welcome2atlantis]

Furnace is destroyed, which is good riddance imo. Now the mastermind should come out as well.

 

[hgpnguyen]

There was a missing page (page 27) in the last chapter. Who hasn't read that page should read it.

 

[izumabakumatsu]

Lemme guess, the lord of the Furnace is just another asshole who wants power but doesn't want to do it himself so he enslaves these kings to do the deeds for him or something.

 

[Kushikime]

Thanks for the chapter
