oh, so no tragic backstory? he's just a evil fuckwad because it's fun beating up the weak?

I fully hope Cross lets go of his goody-two-shoes act and actually commits to putting this one in the ground, then.
There are times when one death saves many, and he doesn't even have a complicated history worth taking into consideration.


That said, I think that's the fastest that Cross's abilities have improved mid-fight, and also the greatest increase in a given skill over the span of a fight.

He's starting to believe.

Pretty good fight really, the dude being an unrepentant asshole helps. Cross would've taken a chunk out of his stomach too which is nice.

We get a nice thematic wrap up too as he gets to help Sylphie overcome her anxieties about her power, develop his skills and completely dumpster a villain. The justification for the master's not resolving everything is sound too.

Pretty nice arc.

Thanks for the chapter!
As I've gotten older, I've found myself liking shounen battle manga less and less.

I'm not saying that it should be like a 'one-hit-KO' instant gratification manga, it's just the pacing for these fights feels tiring since the kid's on a progression treadmill and the speed keeps going up in pace with him getting stronger.
When's he going to actually snowball in strength?

Cross, be a Good Man. Follow in the footsteps of Carrot Ironfounderson. To quote the maestro Terry Pratchett,

"If you have to look along the shaft of an arrow from the wrong end, if a man has you entirely at his mercy, then hope like hell that man is an evil man. Because the evil like power, power over people, and they want to see you in fear. They want you to know you're going to die. So they'll talk. They'll gloat. They'll watch you squirm. They'll put off the moment of murder like another man will put off a good cigar. So hope like hell your captor is an evil man. A good man will kill you with hardly a word."

His battle IQ is actually decent. I actually thought he was going to pull off a power up mid fight and end it. I'm pleasantly surprised, I hoped the fight would last longer.

so, what's the bandit actual idea... he got to that dungeon, and got on the watch by the 3 monsters, even if he can escape there, how long until he gets captured or does he plan to live on that dungeon forever, like for such a smart douchebag his plan doesn't sound that good.

No it's not a good fight. Getting Dragonball dragged out 10 chapters fights vibes only to almost certainly having the MC not giving the villain his just desserts because "he is nice".

From the early chapter, he was gambling on the mountain having so many exits that they couldn't cover them all. And he'd just quietly slip away.

If villain has tragic background, perhaps in the next chapter he will lose simply because of soothing words from MC, like Naruto :kek: Losing battle just because lecture
