so was that the real reason pheonizaku took away healing magic at that specific time? to set up the fake out?

“I do not think of you as a victim”

Good thing the medieval equivalent of Twitter/Tik Tok doesn’t exist, otherwise even in a wartime situation, saying this would cause more anger and hate than all the evil, murder, and death they have committed so far.

Seiten whipping out such a crazy strong move isn't as bad as it sounds on paper. He's been through a lot and has grown so much since he was introduced, so his ultimate skill being fatal compassion is kind of cool. I'm concerned with Chikaeru though; she didn't even do anything bad and she's dying (from the looks of it), which isn't fair. Something tells me she's the final boss.

However, bat in a slingshot...

Thank you for the scanlation

Dragon Dude is making me want to play Breath of Fire again...

 

[exxeld]

It's so fucking kino you forget this was a lewd series at times.
I'm so proud of the cast for actually stepping up and helping however they could this fight too. Seiten's got a mature ass take on that too "I do not think of you as a victim" is an absolute honest and real way to interpret this scenario bro has completely lost sight of what he should have been protecting.

she killed herself with her own blood magic so she wouldnt live long enough to lose her reason and hurt anyone else

Well, i forgot which chapter, but remember that before this arc where there's a chapter that reveal that the MC don't have mana? Where the MC fight against ace from another place?

Around that chp, there's three people who act as villain and one of them pinned down the white mage and hurt her. That white mage is supposed to be the most beloved girl of Pheonizaku, so as a punishment to "humanity", they lost phoenizaku's blessing of white magic for several hours.

I know, but there was supposed to be more warning, he suddenly determined the time only a few hours before it happened

So cool man. Can I become a forest god with the power of misunderstanding and socially awkwardness, if I start living in a forest?

 

[heronbpv]

Wow! Tokishiko being useful for once?!?
And glad we're finally seeing the end of this arc. It's very kino, and I prefer these translations to the magazine ones. Particularly the explanations of the special skills and stuff between chapters.

 

[Imatoumi]

Not the monster girl, damnit
Please

 

[Giga]

Thanks for the chapter, Kredim.

Thus the writing craters. It's not a surprise, as the story's events were headed in this direction--and because the essence of this entire incident is actually common to JP writing (or, at least, it has been for a while): if you, in innocence and especially in virtue, are trespassed against to any degree, keep your grievances to yourself and accept your mistreatment in silence. This idea is behind the fact that you can find many writers--like Hiro Mashima and Matsuena Shun--treat lethal violence like the ultimate sin unless it's a villain doing the killing to a protagonist or someone that otherwise isn't evil. Then, they become quite enthusiastic about the act--or even anything leading up to it, whether it results in death or not. To put it simply, JP authors tend to love their villains and hate their heroes; which is actually a reflection of the state mainstream society (West or East) has been in for more than a decade, now.

And so you see it here: everyone's favorite boylusting pedo Kikuru actually enlisted the aid of the accessory to Fone's murder to facilitate the killing of Hadesman. Worse, and in the style of one of the aforementioned authors, Hadesman's demeanor takes a sudden 90° turn, with his justified anger being depicted as mere mindless hate that he just has to let go of--since he just can't bear it anymore. The moralizing here is so flagrant, it'd be impressive if the author didn't torpedo his otherwise good writing to engage in it. Either way, it's disgusting.

Spoiler: For length

Then again, maybe that shift in Hadesman's demeanor is justified after all:

・The humans he truly loved turned on him over a miserably simplistic interpretation of a woeful incident
・They then killed his beloved woman over it
・There was no recourse for Hadesman regarding it because the only people he could go to for such recourse were the ones who commissioned the murder in the first place
・The circumstances were such that his very antipathy toward any human (i.e., the murderers alone) would have Hadesman branded a mindless threat to humanity by an indiscriminate monster repellent system
・The society that killed Hadesman's beloved sent its officials to kill him, too
・Those officials managed to guilt-trip a number of Hadesman's friends into turning traitor
・The officials used the power that murdered his beloved to attack him despite hearing the confession of that power's owner to aiding in Fone's murder

After that, why bother? The message Hadesman was surely getting was the same one this author, like his peers, was sending to the reader.

That said, I suspect that this was also done for yet another attempt at generating pathos in the reader: in keeping with the aforementioned state of society, people don't see value in a story in which the good guy wins anymore--they're far more interested in the villains or in stories of misery.

PEAK.

Seiten whipping out such a crazy strong move isn't as bad as it sounds on paper. He's been through a lot and has grown so much since he was introduced, so his ultimate skill

Him having some super powerful and convenient kill move is pretty contrived ngl but it's definitely very far from the worst thing the mangaka could've done

 

[PrecureHunter]

i dont have many problems with the lenght of the fight per se, maybe one chapter could have been removed or other reworked to accomodate said chapter, but otherwise its okay, just the nature of monthly manga and long arcs.
maybe some chapters from before hadesman fight could have been removed too.


this is kinda stupid and unimportant but... can anyone remind me about the "lore" in the preview for the black hands? i thought they were like an automatic force of nature to censor things but in this preview Toki seemed to control them

 

[jrocker]

I get that Hadesman had a turnaround because he finally realized, that he was leading all his friends to their death in his quest for revenge. That he never thought of what may happen to them as he was going around punishing the people unrelated to the actual murder because of ease.

I just hope that when they go back after the fight they destroy the village elders such that they have consequences. And not just for the murder of 1 girl but for the murder of all the "monsters" that were caused by their actions.
