Kouritsu-Chuu Madoushi, Daini no Jinsei de Madou wo Kiwameru - Vol. 9 Ch. 49 - Demise, Then...

[thegoatrider]

bruh he might as well become the master of time instead of being a master of some shitty fire

 

[EggrullMan]

...i'm sorry but what the fuck

 

[Weismann]

why doesn't he just go to the council and murder the guy while he's in a state unable to defend himself

 

[Siikalahna]

Time travel out of nowhere without triggering it on purpose? Well fuck you. Should've just ended it there. Not like the story was all that good to begin with, but seriously?

 

[ninjadoparana]

Here, I present to all of you, the almighty "Deus Ex Machina". Next chapter the protagonist will control his ability to time travel and go to the childhood of the author and tell him to become a doctor. Problem solved!

Not the same magic and he didn't do it, it literaly happened by itself.

Not sure what you mean by "not the same magic". The raws for both instances actually both say "Time Leap". And the effects were essentially the same thing - mind travels to past. We never actually saw him use the magic in the first chapter. Were there any magic circles? Did he have to sacrifice 108 virgins to activate it? Or did he use it like any other magic? Well, the only prerequisite would probably be "abundant mana" according to this chapter (and maybe emotions?).

he isn't good enough yet

The problem was that he doesn't have enough magic power on his own. He fell on his butt from casting a simple spell after first time leap. If we're to make another JRPG analogy, it's like you go to a New Game+ with all the spells unlocked, but you don't have enough MP to cast them yet at lv1. If knowledge of magic wasn't enough, then he probably wouldn't have been able to awaken nor cast any magic at all.

The asspull here was that there was abundant mana (and explosion of emotion?), and he was able to utilize it.

 

[mrmm]

of course it's a very convenient plot armor, he could just find then off him

 

[DexDK]

What a load of BS, I give up, dropped~

 

[SlyDevil]

I mean he doesn't have to "find a way to kill him"
It's pretty easy. Just go to magic spider prison and kill him before he wakes up.

 

[Villager21]

MUH TIME TRAVEL

 

[BalrogDeMorgoth]

@jonsmth The chapter and the novel both say he didn't use anything, it just started on it's own, he didn't cast anything. Unlike the magic he created.

It also didn't make a weird time mind duplicated.

 

[Xoldin]

The power scaling is bullshit although I gotta say that I was pretty entertained.

 

[legoman60]

Dropped after chapter 49. I'm okay with some level of bullshit since the MC is supposed to be OP but that was just too much for me.

 

[Cvn7]

uhh what?

 

[BrunoVilla]

L-A-M-E

 

[Hijinx]

Lol, I figured the easiest way out of that predicament was for the MC to time travel, but I didn’t expect the author to be so brazen as to have him actually do so.

 

[Hotgps]

Lol endgame vibes

 

[zarian2]

I was almost falling for it with killing Milly and Azalea. I was like ok, sure, kill off a couple, super deep tragedy, Zeff has to get through it and live on with the others. But after he chopped Redia's head off, I was like, impossible, this is either a dream or some time looper level BS.

Looper-level BS it is. Anyone know if this dude is final boss? Or is this some DBZ garbage where Zeff is also going to go into slowed time to train for 3k years and come back with power level over 9000 and beat him super easy?


Also, wow, the amount of rage-drops over this is kind of amazing. As are the people jumping to the defense.

 

[jonsmth]

@BalrogDeMorgoth
ah now that you mention it, the language does make it sound like it was a passive.
could it be that the time leap has this extra effect? maybe he was aiming for this all along, but the narration made it so dramatic? or maybe the world has a will and it decided that this wasn't his time?
well, this seems pretty inconclusive to me. there's not enough info, so i'll be on the fence for now.

He only went back 1 month, so there isn't too much difference between the him and the overwritten mind.

 

[Auyuez]

Forced plot to give the villain a dumb power up and had to use even more plot armor to counter that. Idk, probably just shouldn't have kept that character in the story.
