Gareus is a true threat to our protagonist, since "lion" doesn't work on him!

Page 19 gave me flashbacks of that one clown biker in Akira.
thanks for the chapter.

 

[Sandmann1st]

This artist is really good at drawing environments and filling in background details sheesh

 

[andrake]

I would've thought Garron somehow knew "muscles don't lie" as an ex-musclebrain himself and just trained Tina to not lie even through her muscles.

Yesss. Peak is back.
Also, dare I say it, more entertaining than Frieren

 

[andrake]

Yesss. Peak is back.
Also, dare I say it, more entertaining than Frieren

I've never thought about comparing the two ever. Is it just because Frieren's also fantasy?

 

[LadyTyche]

Yesss. Peak is back.

Well, it doesn't go on hiatus every other god damn month which is a plus.

I'm so greedy for more of this though that 20 pages feels like 5. 60 would fly by like 10.

 

[vangstampede]

Damn, Garron (on the new volume 5 cover) is really rocking that ponytail.

 

[Gu7]

Fraudeus couldn't see through the genius plan of goatina and peakron

 

[Keplite]

Yesss. Peak is back.

ok edgelord

 

[Alcion]

Tina is pretty smart one minute, and a total dumbass the next lol.

 

[Yuyu_yusha]

So, i put my bet on The Fist Lord gonna go to Writhing Tree Dungeon, while Mikage held captive in the other dungeon. If Garon arrives at Writhing Tree Dungeon, Fist Lord gonna give signal to his comrade to kill Mikage.

On side note, geez dude this Fist Lord name sounds like gigolo name.

This is one of those chapters that makes me glad Beast King is a decent person. A spell to suppress people's memories with the possibility of destroying their mind if those memories are triggered is like, the kind of horror I have nightmares over.

I would've thought Garron somehow knew "muscles don't lie" as an ex-musclebrain himself and just trained Tina to not lie even through her muscles.

A lot of that stuff's subconscious, I think. I doubt it could be trained out of Tina in a reasonable timeframe (and honestly, if it could, you'd think Mikage would've done long ago).

I've never thought about comparing the two ever. Is it just because Frieren's also fantasy?

IMO, there's definitely overlap between the two, and not just the fantasy aspect. A lot of times I describe the setup to this series to new readers as sort of "Reverse Frieren", specifically because of that. You've got a veteran of the Hero's battle with the Demon King, who is known and feared by their enemies, starting a new life decades later, and having to cope with having lost their old friends/allies from the war and such. It's just in this case, it's from the Demon side that lost, instead of the Hero side that won (and also, the Demons aren't inherently evil).

On side note, geez dude this Fist Lord name sounds like gigolo name.

I floated a few different ideas for his title to friends and teammates. A bit more literally would be something like "Holy Fist", but I didn't want to toss in too many implications that he was tied to some church that hasn't been shown to exist, or something, and this came off not inherently dirty-sounding, easy to say, and a nice counterpoint to "Beast King".

Fist King? Or maybe Duke Lord, but that's a slang and giving double confusing meaning. Closed Palm King, more like out of Chinese kung fu manhua.
Yeah, well, at least it's not Fisting Lord, eh? 🤣

 

[Kushikime]

Thanks for the chapter

 

[Eddnom]

I can already see that this won't be the first time he'll make Tina forget him.

 

[nisor]

For a second there, I thought Tina / Garron rigged the book with some kind of trap that needed Gareus's signature.

Sorry everyone, I had a lot on my mind and it took me a while to get to work on the cleaning and redrawing..
