I'm glad we're almost caught up but I'm sad we won't have any more mass chapter uploads.

I feel like once we're caught up the complete mania will subside a bit and we can treat it like a normal weekly series. It'll be liberating.

I'm assuming that online-only magazines are generally considered "lower tier" than actual printed ones, right? If that's true, it's kind of depressing that a comic as good as Helck could only get printed in one.

The various people in comments sections and what have you "shipping" Helck and Vamirio are crazy. I don't think there's been a single hint in the entire comic so far of there being any romantic tension between the two of them.

I think they'd make a cute couple, but mercenary captain is a much better match for Helck, assuming they manage to fix humanity.

Rello continues his Helck-like scanlating pace and the latest chapters are out on Kissmanga:

Chapter 57A - http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Helck/Ch-057a--Searching-Inside-the-Castle?id=261809

Chapter 57B - http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Helck/Ch-057b?id=261808

Chapter 58 - http://kissmanga.com/Manga/Helck/Ch-058--Mysterious-Girl?id=261810

In which we learn that Asuta is a very principled spy and also the best girl in the series.

Both Helck and Alicia have a piece of Hero Killer... rather worrying. A piece is enough to kill a hero and almost all humans currently classify don't they?

To the man who loves art for its own sake, it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived.
I love this. Asuta basically has all the spy related feats and skills but still uses the spy low level gear because that's what you're supposed to do.

Its weakened, and if the full, yet a bit degraded from time, Hero Killer couldnt kill Helck then I doubt the broken one can kill Helck, Cless or possibly the high compatibility Humans.
Might be more than enough for the standard troops though.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!

there are VERY FEW exceptions like murata's OPM but by and large online only manga are poorly drawn and bad in general

Not yet, but Vamiro's been handling all the fighting since then anyway to not risk Helck going berkserk fighting something unimportant.

She's older.

The fall of the human kingdom happened very recently, she's about the same age she was when we last saw her.

yea helck got sent straight to the demon world at the end of his flashback and the tournament was set to start even before then, so it might even be the same year

But Helck was only scratched with the sword, IIRC, and that put him out of commission. If he were actually deeply stabbed with it, the effect would probably be much greater.

I think a relationship between Vamirio and Helck is also almost physically impossible, so Alicia, who is the size of a normal human, is probably a better fit.

In one of the first couple chapters they say that it had been 3 months since the demon king died.

Oh yeah looks like you're right. In the bottom panel it looks sorta like a more grazing blow, but the top definitely makes it clear he was stabbed straight through.

It still has the power to at least put him out of commission though, even if it doesn't kill him.
