I’m starting to get confused about the power levels here. The Goblin king, in this form, was able to wipe out their whole goblin army, yet is struggling with this one dude? How were the blood knights ever even struggling? Surely all of the army’s power being solely focused in the king would be rather easy to exploit right?
Anyway, great chapter as always, I really like how she didn’t bother hiding when it’s no longer necessary

well, the goblin king is currently human and half or less the size she used to be, and Ish is still pretty tall like this. Ish is very much very weakened right now.

 

[GaikoTekina]

I mean, what did I expect from a chaotic protag. What an interesting approach on this. I wonder what will happen next, Ish actions are so unpredictable lol

 

[dOmOlz]

She's so hot i want her to pin me down hshshdgahgshsvdga

 

[Reina4444]

talk about emotions. is that how she draws out more power in her new feeble form?
does she need to feel more rage to hit harder?

Yeah but that’s what I’m saying. Even in that weakened state she was able to take out all of her other goblins. So assuming this guy is about the same or a little weaker than human form ish, without even using his weapon, he should be able to easily solo the entire goblin army (minus ish) as well right? At that point why even bother with the army, if the king is that much stronger than everyone else

 

[Okuu]

Man this country hospitality is something else, still sheltering and feeding a ruffian who questions even the food you make for them.

It doesn't look like she was seriously trying to kill the crimson guy, she took a punch to the face, but this hardly qualifies as a wound, it more looks like a play, she even gave him his weapon back, is she flirting? Well, I'm 100% sure, after they disembowel the goblins they will become buddies.

Ish didn't wipe out her whole army while in this form, she faced 2 goblin Saht-rias after being transformed, which she found easy and disappointing, one Bah-rin that proved to be more difficult fight but she killed him, and 4 more Saht-rias on the way out.

From what we can see she's still physically very imposing and strong for a human, but from her fight with the Bah-rin, it was clear that in raw phisicality he was stronger, she won through experience, skill and ruthlessness. If you compare her fight with the goblins and the crimson knight now, you can see a clear difference of attitude, like @Ecchikun I think she was going easy on him (which to be fair, she kinda did to the goblins she fought as well before killing them). She's also recovering from the wounds she sustained and the blood she lost, so there's that as well, we may see it more clearly on the following confrontation with the other goblins.

Info on the goblin sizes and ages on ch. 4, page 18.

Besides that, kickass chapter, interesting lore, dynamics and the action is great. I can't wait for more.

 

[Ecchikun]

So far, they haven't showed a single solo goblin that would act alone (maybe I'm wrong), they all moved in groups, they all have a hierarchy and a leader, Ish must have realized that alone he will die, and he needs a group, maybe he is testing the guy if he fits to become his underling.

 

[StormSen]

I didn't watch many episodes of it, but this series reminds me of Supernatural. Badasses on both sides; temporary alliances between enemies; complicated lore; etc. The vibe feels similar.

 

[luna367]

Why do I feel that, im just seeing a more tamed version of Gold Ship...

 

[ShilohSpirit]

This series is so damn good I can just never get enough... and there's so little too! I just wanna see more... the art style and writing are pretty damn good honestly. I like that Ish is still extremely confident even in a new body he's still very much not used to. Realistically the feller should be dead already but she seems to have some degree of luck keeping her from dying. Well that and he's crazy enough to push through any sort of setbacks.

 

[AncientWatcher]

Some people are just addicted to fighting, even when they are given an easy road to peace and quiet.

Because he lost most of his strength when he was turned into a human, in ch 5 he was even complaining about being weaker than a fledgling sath-ria

I believe he was fighting two bah-rins and two sath-rias, two of the goblins were noticably bigger than the others, I also believe there's levels to the bah-rins goblins, as that's from age
41-80, quite a few bah-rins were acceptionally powerful, like the chain fist cross guy, who overpowered several powerful crimson knights and only got taken out because of multiple gun fire

Feel like the point of that fight was to provoke a perceived enemy for ego/self-destructive reasons shown in Chapter 10 and not about actually beating him up.

As explored, she's conflicted with her new feeling of no longer being a fearsome opponent who will be remembered, most likely she wanted to die by an opponent from an organisation she respected as fearsome, the crimson knights. That's why she goes straight to bodying a goblin afterward.
