edit: FFS. they spent the past 20+ chapters on this needlessly verbose war arc just for dibel to get magically gibbed in one panel. smh

Are we finally getting back story as to why he ended up in this world...? 🤔

 

[Jamadhur]

Damn another new enemies

 

[feha]

So the writer is the secret hidden bad guy, already rewriting history at the very exact same time history is taking place, because he is the culprit.
Probably means he is the one that cursed the famine too, and only showed up cause mc was interfering with his plans and he needed to check it out personally to see if modifications to his plans were required.

What a bs unsatisfying death for Rigar

Hmm... That's an interesting theory. I thought the last page was just wrapping the arc up, and nothing that peculiar. Consequently, I couldn't really think of anything explaining what was going on. Who knows.

The end of that guy soo unsatisfactory. Should be more, but maybe it was enough so we can move on the story to the next stage

Also, did the draw is different from other? Maybe only in my mind because it was been long the story been updated

It was indeed written as if meant to be some kind of epilogue where historians look back on almus's story based on written records left by the writer.
But that makes no sense to suddenly put at end of chapter where they suddenly start hearing voices and the BBG explodes in blood, and it wasn't explicit, so I decided to rewrite things by claiming the author wasn't doing a really bad job, and that said narration instead was taking place at same time (emphasizing said fact to make it obvious I claimed something obviously false as an axiom).

That's how I saw it as well. Pretty much explaining how future generations would see the outcome of the war that acted as a cornerstone of Almus' rule.

If i remember it correctly, the reversal thing is an after effect of the "Blessing of the King" title which Almus and Dibel possess. If the "Blessing of the King (am I remember it right?)" fails, in this example, Dibel was being betrayed, this is the consequence as we have seen. The fairies were playing some kinda of like a prank on Dibel by granting him the title, if i remember this correctly

me too
because it was written as "the record of the founding" or the "kenkokuki" of the kingdom
like in the title

So it's not about the historian being the culprit like the person above said then?

But tbh it's certainly weird how the author emphasized the historian, mentioning his name few times like that. It's as if the author trying to plaster the sign "culprit" all over his face.

Given what Gilbert and Diebel's done i was kinda hopping capital punishment the minute they got caught shame. At least we can still get a chance to see Gilbert suffer

Well, I don't think it's that rare of a setting where Gods/supernatural beings basically give blessings to people and watch their antics for entertainment (more or less any "System" stories)

So at the end Almus/Yuria basically heard whatever being(s) that's been watching Almus vs Rigar rivalry and their comment on how it ended on such lame note (Rigar begging for his life, no final struggle or escape to setup future troubles, etc) while another one point out Rigar kinda did ok job as a rival.
Everything you might expect out of a rival character did kinda happen (compete for the girl, 1v1, etc) just this finishing act was far too clean.

The final comment was basically "I'll be taking back that blessing" and pop Rigar went, either as the direct impact of losing the blessing, or as a side effect of losing his blessing like how Bernard start to age rapidly after losing the effect.

I feel like it is because the translation wrote it "by you Seimei"? which made it looks like we're talking to Seimei?
maybe it should've been "by yours, Seimei" or just "written by Seimei" ?

 

[newniez]

So lame
What a letdown

almost certainly not, its just written that way because the whole story we see is a reenactment of his historical accounts. Not the first time either, we saw it early on where I forgot the exact line but something along the lines of who would later become the greatest emperor. So the author's trying to do a this is a recounting of the past while adding in alot of foreshadowing. The Tanya series does the same thing too to jump into a future time period to show what history thought about the events in a current chapter.

No, I know that it was his name is You Seimei. It's just that it feels weird.

Kinda disappointed it didn't go that way but felt relieved at the same time. MC doesn't need another tricky traitor hiding in plain sight

what was up with her eye again? some kinda magic eye or something?
