I wonder if they'll revisit the Toosu-men/Barbarians. The magic used there was eerily similar.

Oh poo poo yeah

When the toosu king died his underlings just threw down their weapons and left.

How would the human king be different?

Yeah one of the things that this manga has going for it is that it's been teasing a much bigger universe than we've seen so far (which is already pretty big). Wonder if we'll ever get to see "the northern threat."

Based on context it might be a shitload of new world Monsters. Or a Rival Empire.

Or what im actually expecting and its whole race of people like the Human King who just love to experiment on and puppeteer entire races.

Itd be ironic if the only thing that kept the humans living in their relative amount of safety is the Empire.

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?

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.

Speaking of swords:
Slightly cursed sword hasnt come back up, has it?

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.

So presumably this poo poo with random heroes going to kill the nearest demon king kept happening. It said the last time was 200 years ago, but some of the demons have much longer life spans so they remember it clearly. So for the previous iterations either the hero succeeded and caused an increase in monsters or they failed and were never heard from again. I'm not sure why heroes would be venerated by humans if they never produced results.

Well they could have just gone on monster purge campaigns and cleaned out the human lands before deciding to go after what they thought is the source.




Or another baseless, idle speculation

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.

No big. I don't think I single splash page that doesn't really reveal any information about the plot is a spoiler tho, it's just a cool looking page of azudora.

It reveals he wasn't always who he is.
But eh it's sorta inconsequential.


Whats REALLY interesting is that Azudora had Hero Killer. :stare:

Condiv posted:

it may be that they did not have the ability to mass awaken people at first and cless was the first test subject or a catalyst towards that end. otherwise it's kinda odd they waited so long to do the mass awakening considering mikaros existed for millennia before executing this plan

Or they didnt have the king on their side.
Since Azudora theorized that this was a form of contract magic its more probable that they didnt have someone as strong as the king to hold and create that contract (reminder here that contract magic takes life force).

My theory? The King is one of the first ever heroes.

Is it weird that I'm slowly starting to root for the evil humans, here?

I mean, they basically spent the entire story so far getting owned by demons and being dreadfully underleveled :ohdear: Even their most powerful dudes get slapped around by the demon's elite... I kind of want them to have some sort of victory and start overtaking the demons, given how much grinding they've done. They had this much buildup, time to show them as a true threat.

I believe in you, evil self-genocidal humans! You can do it!

Ehhh not really.
They were at total war with pretty much the only people keeping them safe (not intentionally).

Are they still doing that poll to see which series is getting an anime?

Last I checked the not-Baki manga was winning.

(And yeah its literally not-baki complete with :biotruths: and the mystical power of martial arts and muscle)

The second was some crap nonsensical gorefest. More of a borefest really.


Though honestly if the vote was held outside of Japan Mob would already be running and Helck would be in the works, the above might be because of the much wider reader demographics that Urasunday can reach in Japan.

Vamirio seems like she would completely overwhelm Mikaros in a fight. Teleporting around an area doesn't work very well when that area is completely on fire. Also, regenerating from wounds doesn't work very well when those wounds and every other part of your body are on fire.
