Nice to see this return after three months. I going to guess there will be a wielder for each of the animals depicted in the mural, at least the main story is picking up now. Allen's spirit core must be a higher rank than all others and he is simply too weak to fully utilize it even after millions of years of training

Yeah, we can see Fafnir and Allen as the Ogre, then there's the Stag behind the Ogre, the Rabbit below them, and the Elephant, Tortoise, and Ice Wolf (most likely Fenrir) along the bottom. The background for the mural is a giant tree, so Yggdrasil.

Gotta wonder if it will only be influenced by Norse mythology or if it will introduce a bunch of different mythology figures

The elephant and tortoise are most likely based off of the myth that Earth is being held up by four elephants on the back of a turtle swimming through space.

Could the villan at the end be implying that Ria is Fafnir or has Fafnir inside her? Would be interesting since then Ogre and Fafnir would be together like the mural. Wonder if that could also mean other people that are near Allen could have the other beings on the mural inside them.
Maybe im just totally wrong but it is fun to speculate.

That tree looks suspiciously like the one in the mural...

Felt the pleasant talk Allen and Rio had there at the end like there was flag being raised in the background. And not the good kind...

whos Fafnir, im kinda forgot
Fafnir is (very likely) Ria's soul core. She names it in chapter 5.1.

That said, I hope all this talk about wanting to be with Ria "forever" doesn't receive some of that JP author magic and mysteriously grow an "as friends" tumor after it. Allen's showing donkan tendencies, and there's still that small-breasted musclehead girl who's also interested in him (probably for no other reason than because he beat her--i.e., the author wants to appeal to "everyone").

Seriously, I see the elements drawn from Rakudai Kishi no Eiyuutan--there are quite a few, but I can forgive that as the story's interesting (and Ria's gorgeous--that was done right). But if you're going to draw that heavily from Rakudai, at least take one of the elements that made it stand out so much--the romance that developed well and quickly without retarded BS padding it out. Fighting a life-or-death battle (the androgynous bodyguard sure didn't look like she wasn't trying to kill him) to keep a friend? Mere friendship doesn't trump the will of a parent, for one; and for another--and it's ridiculous that I've actually remarked this multiple times over my years of watching anime and reading manga--it's not normal to share a bed with your friends, especially if that friend is female.
