Truly a one-man army. I'm so happy he decided to stick it out and catch us up.

This makes me wonder what other hidden gems might be hidden in online mags...

You know, despite the name I never really considered that new world organisms were literally from a different world, much less that it was the world the dickbag duo kept leeching off of.

I like how the demons are pretty on top of things despite being such silly weirdos. It probably helps that they have had external threats and strong leadership for thousands of years.

Isn't Puiy from a remote island far to the south? It's not really part of the empire in any sense.

Uh... are they demons? I'm not really sure. There doesn't seem to be a Demon World or anything in this setting, it's just a country full of various races collectively called demons, surrounded by other countries, one of which has humans. It's not clear if the races to the south are the same either. Maybe they're actually elves or something, who knows?

We know Hyura is from a specific race the name of which I don't remember, but the only term we have been given for all sentient non-humans is demons.

Kenros probably figures if he's Helck's friend, Edil can't really be that much of a bad egg. Actually at this point all the demons are probably aware the winged humans are under a mass brainwashing spell, considering they're clearly briefed by Azudora to some degree.

Azudora doesn't know the specifics of what happened to humanity. He especially doesn't know about them going berserk if the king dies, which of course that may not be true.

I hope Azudora wins not just because I don't like Wizard Man but because it'll mean a big step forward for the story. Also it'll mean characters other than Helck are allowed to take care of high level threats.

I like that this chapter shows that the awakened humans still have a little bit of free will. Edil, for example, clearly intervened in the fight between Mikaros and Hyura to save Hyura's life. It's probably some sort of "exact words" thing going on, i.e. the king says "go and fight the demons" without any specific details. This allows the humans to follow the orders to the letter while still being able to do as they wish. I just hope Mikaros doesn't figure it out, or that loophole will be closed real quick.

yea I doubt either will die just yet. I expect azudora to win but mikaros will pull off what he came to do on some level anyway because the humans need to have a victory over the demons at some point to seem like a threat

The controlled humans pulling the old jackass literal genie routine on the king would make a lot of sense, especially that the ones with some level of personality left probably aren't exactly happy about being forced into essentially being slaves like that.

They need a victory at some point, but their threat comes from how they will never stop on account of being endlessly resurrected upon death. They're like the borg, even if you win they're going to come back just that little bit more dangerous.

Here's what I'm afraid of though

I'm afraid that the humans will march through demon territories until they hit the north so that the demons are pressed from each side by the humans and whatever it is that's SSS rank up there. And the only way out is if Helck reaches and kills the king in time in the human capital so the humans regain their senses and they stand side-by-side with the demons to defeat the northerners. The humans get victories to seem threatening, Helck gets to travel for a time and basically get put out of the way until he's needed, and everything is generated for Maximum Drama.

That's what I don't want
