@ShinRinyoku
Same, this run looks pretty stable

 

[rrolo1]

Let's if this time Skellebro actually ends up protecting someone

Ok, I need to rant a bit. Skip this comment if you don't wanna hear it.

I want to say first, that I do like this story.

That said, some writers need to learn that having a whole lot of things going on at once and not explaining anything doesn't make a story "intriguing" or "interesting" or anything. It only makes it confusing and tedious to read. They aren't playing to their strengths. I like the characters and the concept, but please just tell me what's going on! And everything is of course made worse because the story loops on itself with time travel (sorta? It, like everything else, is not explained)

Also, cut back the characters by like half. Most we only met once anyway, and yet you expect me to remember everything about them?

 

[0neDragon]

will he meet rena too ?

I totally forgot what assimilation rate means in the context of this manga.... can someone explain this to me?

 

[dkuro]

Thanks for the chapter.
It's been years, finally we saw Rubia again.

 

[Nnsnnrbt]

Thanks for the chapter

I guessed from the start the Skeleton was from someone special, though I was thinking that the assimilation rate reaching 0 was a bad thing but it might actualy be making him closer to what he was before death.

 

[caseo78]

I do not like seeing the % drop. I am worried.

@Bellaxus
You forgot to precise that the translation is as good as a google translated one !

@Youn0
Same feelings. Power levels were just getting over the top to fast. I hope going back to start would mean slowing down and focusing on other characters like Rubia without rush.

@Hades3x
Nobody knows for sure what the assimilation rate means, though we theorize that it's not a good thing that it's dropping.

 

[Lanfear]

Rubia is too wholesome for this world.

@AnimefangirlX

TBH I'm not so sure that the assimilation rate droppping is a bad thing ... and this chapter hints that it is the other way around. As Skellebro says himself, it looks like we had been kind of sealed ( or similar ) and that the dropping of the assimilation rate has partially restored him to ... whatever he is suposed to be. That, added to the fact that he is the skeleton of someone important ( Isacc said so , and would say of who if author ex machina had not intervened at that point ) sugests that whatever Skellebro is suposed to be, there was a force trying to assimilate him into the first timeline events ( the one where Rubia summons him and gets killed ASAP and after a war between demons and humans , his new master gets killed as well ), probably by force and, by what we see in this chapter, not out of goodwill with Skellebro.

@rrolo1
I agree. I said "we theorize" because till now we haven't been shown clearly what it does, just that it goes down every time he moves. So the theory was that he would no longer be able to reset or he would die or something similar when the counter hit 0.

It's this chapter that finally shows that a lower rate unlocks his seals and several other options. Looking forward to seeing the story develop from there.
