Kaiten no Albus - Vol. 5 Ch. 47 - Retrograde

[Desperdb]

With this chapter released I’m pretty sure we are still far from the end. With the threat of demon king still looming in the horizon and the lost of Albus, I don’t see how the party can just give up here

 

[Chaos_Breaker]

Even a sudden axe this would be jarring if it was the end.

Thanks for translating!

Thats the thing though
It wasn't sudden nor was it axed, thats just how it ended naturally because this was a speedrun

 

[Yuu221]

Normal ending, where the true end?

 

[SpacelessRex]

Just a reminder to everyone, I am 90% sure this series was axed and that’s why the author is rushing so many things right now

Did Albus abuse something? He used revolve, which was supposed to wipe him out of existence. Even if it was cancelled, is a part of him still in another dimension, like the mage's master

Revolve is a separate power than change the world. Change the world sent Albus to his day of departure, while revolve and retrograde are different spells/ powers.

Should've used retrograde earlier

 

[TheOriginalShock]

Great hero o7

 

[Sollertia_]

Absolute cinema of a move. Pacing is arguable but I really love the writing

Massive W Albus. But guess they'll do something that rewinds again.

After his long, arduous journey that spanned through lifetimes, the hero has finally fulfilled his longtime wish, to defeat the demon king and save the single girl that changed his life, even if it was the cost of his own 🥲 Is this the future that you truly want Albus? You sacrificing buffoon!

So contrary to expectations, Albus did use his resources (ie: Gina and Aval) to research his own spell and in regards to the Demon King. And it did connect back somewhat with Auro and her dimensional magic. I guess there were some loops where he confided not only in Aval (I feel that was always a given) but also Gina with her connection to her master. Which means there was basis on why the speed run had to happen (as seen in the previous chapters)
I also think people are getting misunderstandings why Albus didn't use this earlier. First off, he just found out this spell's location. It was this current timeline specifically where the bard told him where it was, even if he was aware of it in the 16th loop. And second, it's the biggest last resort because the cost of using it is his life. He won't have a second chance after this and thus, won't be able to save Fiona if it fails.

Which does make me wonder, has Auro attempted it but instead tried to change it and thus had her body frozen instead? Maybe that'll be the key to reviving Albus!
