Who's hyped for the anime?

 

[geistchevalier]

waiting for a spinoff for the monk in an isekai manga

 

[Kurovah]

Man, sucks to be all of them

 

[ZenMasters]

Yayoi, YOU FUCKED UP.

 

[HYBRID_BEING]

I wonder if they are going to reflect on the fact that they caused a bunch of deaths.

 

[Hikineet]

Thanks for the chapter.

Sheesh for something like that couldn't they have put a reinforced concrete and steel bunker with constant camera monitoring and such around it? This feels like one of the first times that's strangely sloppy. For other ones it was just that nobody else even knew of them, lost in legends or rumor, which is understandable. Here though it was well known and actively maintained. Having a lazy little false wall with no security leading directly to the core of the seal feels stupid. But this author has often surprised with well thought out characterization. So I wonder if it'll turn out that even with the seal the monster/god was already very subtly manipulating the monks, nothing that'd tip them off like "tear down the seal" but more "yes our measures are already good enough, it's better to keep it quiet". It was playing the long game for centuries.

It was sealed however the fuck long ago, maybe there was just a limit to how much they coukd remodel it and/or bringing in construction workers deemed way too risky?

It didnt work on them but that black flash could have been considered super secure

I mean, there wasn't even a metal gate. Or hell, a sign inside. It's kind of a trope to have stuff all be sneaky and mysterious but it's also stupid. IRL sure they certainly don't have any external indication that nuclear weapons are stored in some given depot, there is an outer layer of secrecy (though mixed in with conventional weapons such that it's justified to have it be heavily fortified and defended by scary people with guns, analogy here would be if the monks put in "critical sect items and money!" in a vault there thus justifying securing it with a [public facing reason]). But the weapons themselves are clearly labeled. If anyone gets that far no point in beating around the bush on what there is.

So sure, have some disguise and then magic traps or whatever, but then if someone gets right down to that room anyway have a big freaking sign on the wall WARNING SEAL OF ANCIENT OUTER GOD ELDRITCH HORROR PLEASE CONSULT MONKS PLEASE in Japanese/English/French/Russian/Chinese/everything just on the off chance someone breaks in that far out of curiosity or getting lured in and genuinely doesn't fully understand what they're dealing with.

But "higher intelligence doing very subtle creeping corruption that waits patiently for its chance far beyond normal human thinking timescales" is rare but cool and scary to see done. Little tiny coincidences and twists that add up, how does one counter that?

Man rip to those chill looking monks, they really did them dirty like that.

 

[Levankua]

What's wrong with this city every spirit here is so fucked up haha

They don't seem to care about that all. They didn't care before why start now?

Who's hyped for the anime?

Me? Me!

To be fair to become a vengeful spirit you'd have to have some mind destroying bad life

 

[BlackwingYu]

Page 3 last panel "hospitilized" should be "hospitalized"
Page 26 5th panel "hunt us to it..." should be "hunt us so it..." ? Not sure

 

[Forikorder]

They don't seem to care about that all. They didn't care before why start now?

this is the first time an actual person has died because of them though

 

[Am0or]

That’s why you don’t insert ur hand in unknown places

 

[Nesiax]

the monk died just like that . .
bro . . .

 

[TrueGoddessReincarnation]

this is the first time an actual person has died because of them though

They sorta did nothing before on that other case and people dropped like flies before. But this is the first time they are directly responsible. (and they did not seem to care)
