@littleoni: If it's about Fol's mother, knowing that it's going to be revealed eventually is enough for me. Thanks.

 

[torikun]

dang, didn't think this plot point would get resolved so well. +1 emotional, +1 story progressing, +1 it actually makes sense.

 

[BlazingMagpie]

I think he would fit butler role pretty well. You can never have too many powerful beings as part of your staff.

 

[Nafizlatan]

Okay,it's so hard to follow up if you bring an info from 6-7 months old chapters.
This is a monthly manga and on toppa that we're being asked to remember stuffs in order to follow the story.
Tch.

 

[b33fy]

The art in this is really nice, actually. -<3 pg 15+17

 

[kylie_aliah]

@blazingmagpie i agree. Ml be too OP AND also surrounds himself with powerful creatures

 

[Deathhappens]

Heh, I knew it. GRAMPS IS COOL Y'ALL!

 

[Kisato]

This kinda... one of the weaker chapters Huh.

 

[Nk9bjP4A]

I don't like misunderstandings that can be cleared up very easily.

 

[bobbybiracial]

@nobaka

So why did he charged at Fol?

 

[nobaka]

@bobbybiracial

Spoiler

he's trying to make her kill him so she feels like she got vengeance. he's charging at her open, not actually intending to attack.

@MarqFJA87
as of the lastest tled ln, she's not mentioned, ever. not even conceptually. who knows

 

[Sheruff6]

He was acting like an enemy cuz he felt guilty on the dragon's death. He wanted to die for redemption. Him charging while bullshiting "Then I have to kill you" was on purpose so that they wouldn't have to hold back to kill him. It doesn't take a genius to understand that tbh.

 

[jimmyclear]

So he's ashamed that he let his charge die right in front of him.

He's a man that wanted that guilt to be gone... forever, even it meant killing his friend's kid (Faked).

 

[cannarali]

Love me some of that elf and magician romance but some action and plot can't hurt. Thing are getting intersting.
Also, don't doubt yourself elf-san, Mc only has eyes for you. Stay by his side.
Need no harem here.

 

[Asa-senpai]

Guy who did thousand of bad things being forgiven for all he did because he didn't do one of those things. I really hated this chapter. Just kill that guy already

 

[playboibaile6y]

So... he's a major cunt who's actually reformed but still acts like a major cunt anyway???

 

[xtheconman]

now who would have ever thought that he had good intentions and also did not kill the dragon etc.......... huhhhhhhhhh...... 🙄
i mean.... dude.... this is one of the reasons why catholicism is so f***ed up - just cause u repent doesn't mean you can be forgiven - 😔 anyway, i guess this author really is unable to make a character a 'bad' guy - he has to rely on _De^Mo_Ns

 

[sylvacoer]

Figured Templar Daddy had ulterior motives, tho I'm not sure why he felt the need to prompt Zagan to kill him on the demon's doorstep - unless he assumed his death would inspire the Church to side with mages? How? Anyway, I'm sad the paladin is down. ):

@xtheconman - it's not that we just "repent," we ask for forgiveness and grace from God, then undertake penance and the effort to not sin in such a way again. Depending on the sin, we must also find some way to make amends with the person we sinned against. And we don't stop at once, we are supposed to repent and sin no more or receive the sacrament constantly because we are imperfect and sinful without God's grace.

 

[xtheconman]

@sylvacoer but what if you did something that the person who you sinned against would never be able to forgive you for? would that mean that you have to constantly receive sacraments, and does receiving sacraments then absolve you of the sin? also, (plz correct me if i'm wrong cause most of the stuff i know about the religion is historical, so i don't know much about the teachings (idk the correct word but teachings seems to fit)) from what i understand about it, if (a proverbial "you") continue to sin again and again, if you repent and i guess (from what i got from your comment) either pay penance or take sacraments, you can continue to be forgiven? i mean, like, if someone murders someone, and then (idk about what penance actually involves) idk, give them a proper burial and pay their family reparations or something, and then pray to be forgiven, and then continues that cycle, then that person will still be forgiven? cause if that is the case then it seems(at least to me) kinda messed up....

 

[sylvacoer]

@xtheconman - with regards to the human person, their forgiveness ultimately doesn't matter. If the person you sinned against never forgives you, but you never sin against them again, then you are forgiven by God for that sin. The problem in that scenario is that if the person who was sinned against commits sins in reprisal for the first sin because they couldn't forgive - they put their own souls in jeopardy, and there really isn't anything certain as to what, if any, responsibility you have from then on. A human forgiving a fellow human for something is, in the long run, for their own personal benefit rather than the sinner's.

Regarding repetition of sin: If you confess your sin in the sacrament and receive God's forgiveness, truly repent and sin no more, then God forgives that sin. If you knowingly commit the same sin again, can you say you actually truly repented and received grace? It's actually something of a theological...erm... useless discussion at this point, to ask, "Could God forgive Hitler for everything he did if he truly confessed and repented for his sins?" The doctrinal answer is "yes," but the practical considerations as well as our own human inability to truly forgive would argue every (meta)physical counterpoint to demand a "no."
