>>291558875>>291558867Love this technique. It's so clever
>>291558791what's she so pissed about?
>>291558875bitch ass elves were just going to sit there even though they came to deal with this kind of situation
>>291558830my fucking hero...
>>291558802>those armpitskui what the fuck
end of chapter
>>291558926>wow, am i really that autistic?
>>291558802>Mithrun's eye goes back to silver
>>291558897>turns your cock to stone>no matter how hard you try you can't cum>uses you until she's satisfied
>>291558926At least there was an attempt to re-contextualize the tonal dissonance of early chapters
>>291558916>>291558926>>291558937>>291558948>>291558953>>291558964>You're the only one... who made me forget my dream>Only you...>...yes
>>291558926chapter 1 marcille was somethin' else
>>291559045>elf splatnot even 30 seconds into servitude and the winged lion already disobeys one of Marcilles wishes by killing one of them unless he knew what would happen
>>291559042>Laios! Falin smells like she just had sex. Was this your doing!!?
>>291559092>>291559102bitch ass lying lion asshole
>>291559326>smells like sexas if marcille would know. give me a break
>>291559045>>291559320I don't think mithrun is dead here
>>291558816>>291558830>>291558837Mithrun is so fucking cool. No questions, no hesitation, no shock - just goes from 0 to 100 in a blink of an eye.On the other hand, Patty completely froze up, which probably costed them the fight.
>>291559420He's not, and it's pretty cleverThe lion still tossed him with the intention to kill despite Marcille's wish, which I find interesting.
>>291559486He's the man with one (1 (uno)) desire
>>291558897This reminds me of Derrick Lewis>Hahahahahaha How The Fuck Is Illusion Magic Real Hahahaha Just Stand Up Like Nigga Just Walk Away Haha
>>291558897Casted morning tingles, hate when that happens.
>>291559045>even the cosmic horror is disturbed
>>291559029The lion is right, this is somehow worse. wtf Marcille
>>291558897God I just can't get enough of this woman.
It really feels like captain should easily have been able to just kill marcille by hitting the neck, head or heart. There were more than enough openings.
>>291558953>(a thousand years)!!>at least
>>291558802that's a highly-refined House Vari profile thereantitumblrfag in shambles
>>291559824bad depth perception but only when it's convenient for the plot pls understand
>>291559102hantan lyë avestaina
>>291558830bad luck he didn't get a pic frame or two into Marcille though, though at this point probably just offing the master doesn't help?
>>291559051the convicts can't cast magic unless ordered to (to keep them from going rogue / just turning into dungeon lords themselves)
>>291559042Damn, bitch, you live like this?
>>291558875I forgot that pattadol transforms her fairy into her staff/wandhow interesting
>>291559957Patty's a guard and the actual convicts start casting when Kabru tells them to, despite him having zero authority. They all just froze up on meeting an actual demon
>>291558791Kot
>>291558802>>291559097Her female side is showing up
>>291558948>not-Hareus came out again
>>291558837Went straight for the kill, damn
>>291559042>>291559379Ok>Laios! Why does the bathroom smell like squid? You do know that you’re living with two girls, right?
This wouldn't have happened if only Korbo was here.
>>291560057Yea, but that's Pattadol's fault. She needed to give the orders for them, because Mithrun was too absorbed (though I wonder if his desire to kil the fucking demon shouldn't make him will to order everyone to assist - he didn't have problem doing that against Sissel).
>>291560239*Kirbo
>>291558948>the shoujo facehahahah
>>291560239Kalamari had his arms bound remember
>>291560239But Karbuncle was there
>>291560057>Kabru tells them to, despite him having zero authoritythta probably only worked via Pattadol snappng back into working mode
>>291559855House Vari?
>>291559001FLEKI'S THIGHS
>>291560190>You do know that you’re living with two girls, right?marcille didn't live with falin and laios
>>291559042It's a fucking mess and Marcille is a clean freak
>>291559061>He’s an enthusiastic fan of mine>Always talking about an eye for an eye towards me…>about how his only desire is my death and so on…
>>291559320he absolutely did that. As you saw with Sissel and Mithrun the lion absolutely betrays you. At beast it is giving you time, you do not control it unless you actually do something to bind it like Sissel did until he slipped/Laios and the party removed the protections he cast.
>>291558965It's pretty classic for a regenerating monster, you see it in Þiðreks saga af Bern.
>>291558830ouchie
>>291559074>bara 8ft lion carrying Marcille like a little girlThis is a woman's fantasy isnt?
>>291560353*that you have two girls overIs that fine?
>>291560374Wait, I misunderstood what Mithrun is doing, I thought he was teleporting the cloak to block already severed parts from regenerating.
>>291559102Thanks OP
>>291560403Average woman’s “Hear me out”.
>>291560403>This is a woman's fantasy isnt?sort of. I feel like there's definitely an angle on that because of Marcille's relationship with her dad.
>>291559074Sissel had camera installed in the bath the lezzies were using
>>291560438>>291560505I meant Kui's fantasy, not Marcille
>>291558953>>291558964Once again messed up by being too nice. This all would've been over if Mithrun had just killed Marcille immediately. The demon was already out, I don't know why he was still trying to convince her.
>>291560309the surname of the nose
>>291560546Well I mean in a non-sexual way. Kui definitely enjoys drawing the Lion's anatomy in full, but I think the imagery of a masculine figure carrying Marcille like a child was deliberate and plays into Marcille's psychology regarding her hang-ups stemming from her father's (un)timely death.
>>291558964>not slashing her throat right awayi thought he was supposed to be smart...
>>291559824For some baffling reason he simply didn't go for the kill. This is a dungeon anyway, even if he's feeling merciful, they could've just resurrected her.
>>291558802I'm betting a money that Beauty and the Beast was a formative memory for Kui
>>291559061i like his pragmatism
>>291560632Marcille is her self-insert
where's my dungeon meshi-like crpg?
>>291560801doubt it, honestly.
>>291560368>>291559320>>291559509Lion is devil. When you become a Dungeon Master, you're making a deal with a devil. You're basically selling your soul for power. Of course he betrays you, it's a scam from the start. Read up on legend of Faust.
>>291559897Mithrun isn't as single minded as he thinks he is.Even last chapter, he took the time to sympathize with Marcille.
>>291558791>Kui trying to wash Laios' image .
>>291559192The Lion's goal is pretty similar to what Femto does in Berserk.
>>291560663The elves are way more considerate to the felons that try to destroy the world unwittingly, despite what Chilchuck's badmouthing makes you think.The compassion almost was the world's downfall though.
>>291559018Pattadol is so fucking useless, holy shit.>eww a spider!
>>291558837>>291558844>>291558856The fact elves have these guys is insane. Laios was in the army, and he has fucking nothing but a sword and his wits. Like ten Mithruns on a battlefield would probably demolish any human army.
>>291559029dear lord how terrifying
>>291559029>arachnofobia filter: ON
>>291560961The only moments of betrayal we see come at the end of the DM's lifetime when the demon finally turns on them to devour their desires, otherwise it is pretty good at fulfilling the wishes he grant, even when it goes against his own interest.It shouldn't want to risk losing the trust of the DM anyway by breaking promises left and right.
>>291559074In case you forgot the author is a woman.
You can cast any spell you want with enough knowledge, skill, and fundamental aptitude, right?Is Mithrun just uniquely talented at teleportation?
>>291561137yeah, but 10 mithruns specifically aren't gonna give a shit about a human army. But this is why elves are dominant in DM even when Dwarves have their strength and tech and gnomes are nearly just as good as casters as elves.
>>291558897Basically when you succeed your save rollI assume magicians are more resistant against illusions
>>291561225Read that part again. Lion covers Marcille's eyes before it tosses Mithrun. It 100% disobeyed her.
>>291561137Mithrun can only do this for a short amount of time before he fucking collapses, and he's one of the most gifted mages we've seen.
>>291561259I was also thinking about this. Was Mithrund teleportation expert before he got munched? Is there something special about him that makes him better at this? Is he some sort of genius?My guess is that getting teleportation magic loicense is really difficult, but Mithrund got a pass because of his condition.
>>291558777>Falin and Laios casually talk about killing every savage mountain person they find
>>291561259I think you need to specialize in a certain kind of magic to get as good at it as Mithrun is at teleportation.
>>291561137Do you think ten Mithruns even exist?
>>291561337Kabron... you must realize your hypocrisy. You're not better than they are
>>291561137I mean there's extreme examples of people everywhere. Like a team of 10 Lionel Messis would dominate in football. But just because you got one super good dude doesn't mean to will find 9 others just as good
>>291559124>leaves you erect, days after she finished>start your morning, arrive to work>the moment you greet your coworkers, she undoes the spell, causing an overwhelming amount of semen to dribble down your pants
>>291559045>"Dude, what the fuck?" - Satan
>>291561368>>291561313I don't know if Mithrun is even a gifted mage by elf standards. He just specialized in a very efficient form of magic, which I think anyone can do. He's stuck in the Canaries leading a squad of criminals and throwaway nobility. Granted, he was sent to investigate the dungeon, but I don't think they knew how big of a problem this was going to be. I have to imagine the court magicians that the elves are just as strong, if not stronger, than Mithrun.
>>291559824Well he got an icicle through her entire spine and out a lung, she could have easily died from a little more precision.
>>291560057Tbf one of them almost got telefragged the last time Mithrun was in action. Kaku’s order just reminded them that they have ranged attacks.
>>291559897Maybe he was far away enough and the portraits small enough where he knew he couldn't kill Marcille accurately, so he aimed to stun the lion so he could get closer and do the coup de grace. But of course you're going to need more then a few teleported items to stop the lion.
>>291560239It's impressive how many things went wrong just because Kamille wasn't the one to negotiate.
>>291558802OH NO HE'S HOT!!!!!
>>291558802I know what kind of woman you are Kui
>>291560239Krampus was bound and muted
>>291559045Marcille's face in the third panel is so sex.
>>291561487Well but spamming that many portraits at Marcille's head's general locations is going to kill her almost certainly
>>291561565>csgo recoil.webm
>>291559045>Insert stock splat sound effect
>>291559897Almost certainly he wasn't aiming for Marcille, dude has one eye and tunnel vision from hell.
>>291558802DM is a pretty light-hearted story, but there are moments where it dips into legit horror teritorry. Lion just standing there like is spooky as fuck, no wonder most of the canaries froze.
>>291559045rip mithrun. they better respawn him on the double, he carries this sorry band on his back
>>291558802vibe
>>291560779me too>you sure I can't just make a new one? would be way easier>no? okay, sorry
>>291561149Not strong enough.
>>291559045OH NOTHE CAPTAIN HE TURNED INTO MARSHMALLOW FLUFF
>>291559102
>>291561262Otta's magic seems like it would be more useful for battles army against army.Mithrun's is more suited for special operations
>>291558953>The will to live is stringer than anything!
>>291561137Alright, so you send 10 gigafucker nightmare men to kill 100 humans each in the vangard. Humans just have more people than you, eventually they either teleport away or collapse and get taken as hostages (sexual) and the remaining 99% of the human army crashes into you and has you at 5 to 1 engagements. It's the standard elf problem of "We're good outnumbered 3 to 1, these races can't match our mastery" but you are 1/6th the size of the opposing force.
>>291561337This is really extreme prejudice. Even in extreme cases of border hatred like White American ruralites vs. Indians, even with massacres being not infrequent, there was never a general policy of "kill on sight".
>>291561924How do the demographics in DM work? If the elves, dwarves and gnomes occupy all the most fertile lands how many inferiors could there possibly be?
>>291561855What is Otta's magic again?
>>291561472>they're literally describing the Pathfinder WOTR meta of using Grease to defeat 99% of encounters
>>291561629Yeah, he wasn't. But I wonder why, perhaps that would have helped more. Unless he intentionally didn't want to kill her, the absolute bro he is.
>>291561976geomancy.she had a comment a couple chapters back that implied it's difficult to do, though
>>291561976carpet fuckery. Or you mean in canaries? floor fuckery
>>291561971The elves, dwarves, and gnomes occupy the best land with the dwarves and gnomes basically cohabiting. The problem is humans take up like 70% of the land remaining. Half-feet are basically a state unto themselves. Humans don't have the best land, but they have the most land by far and they WON'T STOP FUCKING
>>291561993Oh he's definitely not trying to kill her with priority, or else she would have been riddled with way more than one spike. If she had died, the demon would likely have had to either retreat and try to get one of the party to take over or try to seduce a canary like he did with Mithrun. I'll be honest, the host of the canaries right now don't seem particularly hard to win over.>otta, infinite children to fuck
>>291561977He could upgrade to the BRAAP Cloud if he managed to earn enough levels yeah gl with Kaprun's skills kek.
>>291561781kek
>>291561971I /think/ it's been stated that tallmen are the most numerous of the human races, but are ultimately subservient to elves and dwarves because they don't have the power structures. Might end up eventually like a lot of fantasy where the jack-of-all-trades race ends up eventually overpowering everyone else, though.
>>291559092those mushrooms are cute
>>291559102>Lycion dealt with Cat without switching to wolf mode.Also, the way he seems to be holding his skirt, it's almost as if he didn't show up to the previous action because he fucked her sill.
>>291561976Manipulating the dungeon itself. She can move the terrain around. She was the one that opened the path to Thistle's house for the Canaries. Hard to tell how much she can do outside the dungeon, though. Remember, mana is limited outside the dungeon, so it gets easier to cast big magic the further down you go. We never really see the Canaries do much outside the dungeon, where magic is more limited. (the fight against the shadow lord was inside the first level)
>>291562157If it works for his rabid junkie girlfriend, it might work on cat.
I'm not racist but I find gnomes unpleasant to look at and I think the world would be a better place aesthetically speaking if we just genocided them all.
>>291562194FOCUS ON THE FUCKING DEMON YOU USELESS BITCH
>>291562125>Holy shit the Utaya barrier is HUGEmust be quite a drain to maintain for the elves
>>291562212shut up, inferior.
>>291562194The gnomes! The gnomes of the industrial council of Tarant!
>>291561137Mithrun probably can't spam like this outside of a dungeon. Normal fighters would be more useful over longer periods.
How useful would the Boulder from Avatar be as a party member?Being able to manipulate the earth of the dungeon itself seems super useful
>>291559029>>291561143lmao I love how they genuinely are more disturbing that way
>>291562327Avatar characters don't use mana so incredibly useful. Even with a mana limit it'd be very good.
>>291562125>because they don't have the power structuresLogically speaking there would be all kinds of active subversion and spook operations by the long-lived races to ensure tallmen never got too organized.
>>291559102While you were asleep, elves happened.
>>291562400depends on how much hubris they have I would suppose.They'd have to view tallmen as an actual threat first
>>291559045>I am sure to win because my speed is sup-
>>291562400The dwarves seem to do that quite a bit.
>>291562462only as a means to fuck with elven interest
>>291558992>>291559029>>291559045>>291559074>>291559092>want>want>want>want>>291559102Thanks OP
>>291561259this is kind of explained in an extra. you start off learning a bunch of different spells but over time, you'll find something you naturally vibe with. so he's good at teleportation but might have irrelevant sub-specialities the way cithis has illusion magic and all that's related, but also fire magic. otta also has two abilities but i forgot what the second one was.i'm going with he was good at it before getting eaten because he would escape and be found far away when they put him in the ward.
>>291562235They can drain me to help sustain it!
>>291562507Well there is also that throwaway in the epilogue where the dwarves try and fuck with Laios's kingdom and they get fucked by the monsters for it not to mention the dwarves basically forcing Thistle to become a lord of the dungeon. Don't trust dwarves in Dungeon Meshi, unless they're outcasts.
>>291560052>>291558875That's some mahou shoujo shit
>>291562549So does Marcille specialize in explosion magic? Cause that seems to be almost the entirety of her offensive prowess.
>>291562446They surely do. If you just leave them alone and let some super Genghis Khan arise to create a large empire, long-lived races would be fucked (literally and figuratively).
>>291562583that's not spook-ops, shit, though. that's just dwarves being barbarous shitheads
>>291562549>Otta also has two abilities but i forgot what the second one was. It’s making halfings cum [\spoiler]
>>291562583The scene where Thistle has a golem rip a dwarf in half was good. Fuck them.
>>291562583Seems like the original dwarf raiding party were outlaws rather than a military force.
>>291562431>*While you were asleep, dark elves happened.
>>291562383Of the four elements, I think most to least useful would be:>EarthYou got tons of it around you so that's useful and you can bend open walls to make a path if you get lost or need a shortcut>FireGood offensively, useful against most stuff, and you can always produce it>WaterReally good on water levels, might be a bit limited on non water levels but there's fountains so filling skins isn't hard >AirNot a ton of space to move around, usually less lethal unless you're going around asphyxiating stuff to death
>>291562591if she was a canary im sure that'd be considered her specialization lol. some canaries are in jail for illegal magic so i'm assuming there's a difference between spells you learn and what you naturally gravitate toward for offensive situations.
>>291561230I know right???
>>291559119Yeah, that's hype as fuck>>291560554Seems to me that the first time Mithrun goes for the kill is out of impulse, he acts instinctively due to his past trauma and experience of what the demon is capable of. The Lion even calls him out and says that he's going "against the rules", which I assume he means the Canaries'. Prob they're supposed to just detain the Dungeon Lord? But they can just revive whoever after the fact, so who cares
>>291562820>Seems to me that the first time Mithrun goes for the kill is out of impulse, he acts instinctively due to his past trauma and experience of what the demon is capable of.

But they can just revive whoever after the fact, so who caresHe wasn't trying to kill her at all before she became the dungeon lord, which was the problem.
>>291562591Just realized she is literally Megumin, the signs were there all along.
>>291558830>>291558837>>291558844Man, AGGRESSIVE TELEFRAGGING as a fighting style is so cool but too broken to be really explored.
>>291562706The most (only) interesting thing about the Shamalinen film was how they made creating fire a special feat to match with how the other benders can't create their elements, so the Fire army had to carry lanterns around to bend from.
>Otta adoring short lived half foot women I don't know how but Kui made an actually interesting and cool gay character that doesn't feel shoehorned in for diversity
>>291562621ghibli-ass dwarves
>>291562985Well it's because she's a wretched pedophile. Everyone hates her because she's legitimately just trying to fuck children by proxy, she even trots out talking points. She's also, hilariously, one of the most outspoken representatives of cross-species love and frequently brought up in the discussions.
>>291561946There was if you started trespassing on land to steal crops and livestock, which is what I assume is the main motive for a mountain person to risk the village.
>>291562985Ah yes, the elusive /ll/ appreciator. Very rare
>>291562985why halflings specifically? why would't otta also go after questionably legal elves?
>>291562985>uotta
>>291562591Explosions just seem like a fairly simple spell for somebody proficient in magic and with good mana capacity, but don't actually specialize in combat. Just be able to target and area and dump a bunch of mana into probably a really simple spell structure and you're doing a lot of damage. Think of how much more complicated something like earth spears must be to conjure compared to just blowing something up.
>>291563050I guess you could read it that way, but Indians and Whites still traded constantly, which Laios finds completely off the table with the Mountain Men, saying you can't even talk to them.
>>29156310160 year olds are fucking gross and expired, she wants under 30 meat. The nubile body that hasn't even seen three decades.....
>>291562985Based Otta using the DiCaprio filter
Fleki's slightly sad expression in the bottom left panel always gets me.
>>291563048>muh pedoDon't you have a Mushoku Tensei thread to shitpost in?
>>291563184Drug elf...
>>291563106>>291562591Rin uses lightning/electricity. So I think personal affinity plays into it a lot. We just never get any elucidation on why Marcille goes with explosions.
>>291563197Well she is, what would you prefer me to call her? Her strike zone is the youngest looking race who are sexually legal the earliest and she drops them before they can physically age too much.>>291563184>two suicidal (one formerly) wrecks in a relationship
>>291563048The fucking side eye the three long lived people give is hilarious
>>291563184>Funny girl is actually super depressedEvery single fucking time
I support Otta.
>>291563184>>291562985insane how much backstory and characterization Kui gives what amounts to kinda minor characters that aren't introduced until halfway through the manga, but I fucking love it
>>291563243skirting the logic by being a 18+ tallman who dates elven women who are 60-80
>>291562985It's amazing how feminine she looks despite having no tits and her boyish haircut. Her eyelashes are putting in work
>>29156334540 year old tallman going for an 80 year old (16) elf woman is frowned upon because he's too young. only half her age. but he's mature for his age so that makes it OK.
>>291563379Even the orcs in this have feminine appeal.
>>291563127Yeah but that was long after conquistadors and fur traders broke em in. It wasn't a monolith, tribes that played ball got benefits and tribes that didn't got genocided (occasionally by the tribes who played ball because they hated them and got the advantage).I imagine the mountain nomads are small in number, low in resource, can't communicate and are coming down to loot when hunting is poor. Their presence would just be viewed as a raid.
>>291563539The thing is Kabru speaks kobold, he talks to Kuro at a few points So even the idea of Kabru saying they're all dangerous and cruel doesn't seem quite true, as otherwise he wouldn't be able to speak kobold.
>>291563101>short hair>prides herself in looking androgynous >goes after “children”Could be an arrested development thing.
>>291563184>240 yearsMust have been some serious artifacts
>>291563604She was probably selling them for cheap in order to get quick money for drugs. Must've stolen a lot to get her magic mushroom gold.
>>291563584Yeah I think that's the point, Kabru is much more intolerant and biased against demi-humans. I'm not sure when he picked up the language or mistrust. Utaya may have gotten targeted a lot by kobold raids when it started being flush with dungeon bounty.
>>291563048>Everyone hates herFleki doesn't seem to, she actually clings to her repeatedly
>>291563790laios would love the kobold language. finally his barking will mean something.
>>291563790>Kabru is super racist against kobolds but he actually has had some amiable talks with them as he can speak their tongue >Falin and Laios immediately outdo his racism by talking about killing any mountain people and not even learning their languageIt's like Kabru is a casual racist and Laios and Falin are competitive ones
>>291563902It takes a lot more racism to learn a peoples language to hate them better.

>>291563539Well my point is that Indian tribes were never just dismissed as "can't communicate".
>>291559897>though at this point probably just offing the master doesn't help?It definitely does help since the demon can't do anything if someone else doesn't wish for it. That's why killing the dungeon master tends to be their modus operandi according to what we've seen.

>>291561472>He just specialized in a very efficient form of magic, which I think anyone can do.just because you are a human like Hafthor Julius Bjornsson or Eddie Hall, doesn't mean you're going to be as strong as them, even if you take the same steroids and do the same training.
>>291561313Mithrun not having any self-preservation instincts probably has him constantly in state similar to when an adrenaline rush allows someone to exceed their typical instinctual limitations too. Like when a kid is pinned under a car and their parent manages to lift it up by temporarily ignoring the damage doing that does their body, but shortly later hurt like hell as they become aware of how badly they strained themselves. Mithrun though continues to ignore any pain or exhaustion until his body is completely physically incapable of moving.
>>291561337Has anyone considered maybe the mountain people are just a bunch of brutal opportunistic outgroup sociopaths and they really should be killed on sight?
>>291564356She’s been up for an entire week and has been working with little sleep afterwards. A stiff breeze would have done the same.
>>291548504I think he might encountered Shuro's party eventually and they would've defeated the red dragon together, and given Falin a proper burial I guess since I doubt Maizuri is talented enough to resurrect her. If Thistle decides to attack them they would be fucked though.
>>291562985>>"If She's Thirty, I Ain't Thirsty"
>>291564356Marcille familiars don't come out from her head though, Fleki's link to those things is probably much deeper.

>>291561225What? He betrayed Thistle several times, he is the cause of his madness to begin with by selectively eating his desires to destabilize the kingdom since its existence goes against the demon's interests. He's just sneaky about it.

>>291564819>qrd?Sir Robert Hart, a British national in the service of the Qing Empire and oversaw their Customs Office after the two Opium Wars. He was a workaholic who transformed the once dysfunctional maritime customs into the least corrupt institution in Qing China. So efficient was his office that income from tariffs quadrupled (it otherwise would've been lost to corruption). He's credited by historians for extending the ailing Qing empire's life for a few more decades. He attained the highest honor a foreigner ever received in China. They erected a statute of him in Shanghai (which was sadly pulled down by the invading Imperial Japanese Army during WWII). The plaque on the statue read:"Grand Guardian of the Heir Apparent of ChinaInspector General of Chinese Maritime CustomsFounder of Chinese Lighthouse ServiceOrganizer and Administrator of the National Post OfficeTrusted Counsellor of the Chinese GovernmentTrue Friend of the Chinese PeopleModest, Patient, Sagacious and ResoluteHe Overcame Formidable Obstacles and Accomplished a Work of Great Beneficence for China and the World"
>>291565296An anecdote I read went like this:When they were going over the details of Hart's appointment, Hart himself offered that the Customs Office could be staffed by a mix of British and Chinese. To which Prince Gong flatly declared "employing Chinese people is no good!"

>>291562985>>291563101I think Otta as a character makes more sense when you see her in modern clothes. She's trying really hard to be this cool, butch lesbian, but she's so damn tiny the only people she's bigger than are half-foots.
>>291566031I want to see what kind of deranged dungeon lord Falin would have been.
>>291566202Her desires might be too simple for the Lion's taste.
>>291566311She's Laios's sibling and basically the same person with different genitals, there's no way there isn't complex degeneracy down in there.
>>291566202she seems the type to implement the Golden Rule to the whole dungeon and not just the inner kingdom
>>291559119>eye can go back to normal>probably tied to experiencing desiresPost-ending he's gonna look in the mirror and see it back to normal one day, isn't he?
>>291562985I like how they get along with all the chit-chatting
>>291566202for as much information we get on Falin, we don't get a good look at her inner psyche compared to Izu/Chuck/Senshi and certainly not on the level of Marcille and Laios (or Mithrun) for that matter. I think it'd legit be difficult to say what kind of DM she'd be. She has monster knowledge, but not as much as Laios. She can be excitable and make rash decisions, but it's hard to say how that'd translate. We don't really have a grasp on her desires on goals, either, other than caring a lot about Laios and Marcille.
>>291566193She looks great wearing those dresses. You can see why she drowns in halfling pussy.
>>291566055KUSO, obviously
>>291566331>there's no way there isn't complex degeneracy down in thereUltimately none of it was anything the Lion could latch onto though. It's why he didn't prey on "hey Laios you could become a monster master or a great rancher or whatever,' but instead "you're in a fucked up situation, here's a practical reality where you can save Falin, live with your friends, and fulfill your promise to Yaad; it's not glamorous but you'll live and be content." Both siblings are just curious wanderers for the most part, without any complex desires. With Laios, the Lion was pinning a lot of hope on the complexities of running his kingdom creating twistable desires, with the fantasy already slyly having some of the same manipulation he did for Mithrun and Thistle about thieves and needing prosperity. With Falin, he likely wouldn't have much to work on unless Laios was similarly in danger, although she seems much easier to manipulate in that sense.
>>291566676Why is he shouting for Kuso? He's all the way on the other side of the room with his hands still bound.
>>291566728He's not calling for him, he's blaming him for this.
>>291563101Shortstacks/goblin girl logic
>>291566193Based on comparisons with Flamela (140 cm), Otta (130 cm) may be taller than Misyl (looks to be less than 130 cm, possibly around 125 cm)
>>291566807And he's right.Fucking short-lived races, I swear.
>>291566854What is wrong with this drug addled goblin
>>291558791>Falin is pregnant!
>>291566854how are cithis and pattadol not seen as unattractive by elf standards considering how tall and broad they are? Cithis especially is built like a tallman female.
>>291567023Who says they aren't? Pattadol most likely is.
>>291566937more importantly, that is an incredibly high cut swimsuit on the brown elf. There's no way that's not a thong in the back or buttplug end, more like, the backside probably only connects in one point halfway down her back, can't see how it would be connected to the lower part.Bet she bent over to pick things from the ground in front of Flamela so that she can see her anus
>>291567066Pattadol probably has average or commonly unimpressive but passable body.Perhaps Cithis isn't perfect by beauty standards as in "artistic" canon, but she is still hot to males, like pornstars with colossal naturals and slight chub leaning are.
>>291566881Yeah, it's Kurby's fault for needing his hands bound and forcing Cithis to cast silence on him.
>>291566854no sense of personal space
>>291566854I wonder why Otta tolerates Fleki cuddling her. Doesn't seem like they get along much.
>>291558916Falin kinda looks like Laios in the bottom panel.
>>291566710One way I can see the lion worming his way into Falin's favor is through her desire to help others>wouldn't it be nice if your brother and parents got along better?>wouldn't you like to help Marcille with her research in this dungeon?Stuff like that maybe
>>291566854Patty is pure sex
>>291567073You know those things exist irl, right? Spoiler for 3dpd.
>>291566854>You still open chief?>Yeah I’ve noticed how you’ve cleaned yourself up, how you perk up whenever I’m nearby.>So are you gonna continue moping around or are ya gonna show me something fun?
>>291567312God I wish women were real
>>291567023the way they'd both be bigger and than high T gigachad tallman mithrun
>>291567503*and taller
>>291558802Wait, which one is it?>A demonor>The Demon?
>>291567679yes
>>291567679I don't think they understand it's origin yet. That or the translators didn't know.
So would you order Cithis a shrimp cocktail?
>>291561472It's probably less that teleportation itself is hard, and more that training the instincts and precision to actually use it effectively in combat is hard.I think likely every mage could do what Falin did in chapter 1, which is why the issue was a lack of license and worry that someone might already be in that spot, rather than her fumbling the spell altogether.
>>291568159Cithis isn't that much younger then the captain (he's 180 something), if he says slurs then she would as well. Also Pattadol is such a baby, not even a 100 yet.
>>291568162i agree but you could say this about every spell desu. you could teach yourself an illusion spell but can you use it like cithis? marcille made familiars but they were nowhere near the level of fleki's bird.
>>291568318Several decades is enough for several turns of the euphemism treadmill.
>>291568159why is fleki so sex?specially her hair
>>291561472if teleportation is versatile and easy to use shouldn't everyone be learning it? i don't think he's particularly gifted by elf standards either, since a court mage seems like an entirely different set of skills, but at the very least it seems rare for someone to have an affinity for teleportation spells.
>>291568531It seems like a hard skill to properly master considering how catastrophic it can go. Fuck around even a little and you've killed at least one person.
>>291568159Kui-sensei draws women in a way that wishes that I knew how to dance with enough confidence to ask ladies if they'd like to join. They'd just tell me to fuck off, tho.
Why don't the canaries carry weapons. Lycion get's a pass because he's a furry but the good captain could carry around some rocks or maybe somethin lighter like wooden balls. Pattadol looks like she could use a raiper or something.
>>291568159I would buy Cithis literally anything she wanted.
>>291568604makes sense to travel light when your race is so weak your rations just have to be shitty crackers.
>>291568531>i don't think he's particularly gifted by elf standardsI think people are looking at it the wrong way.If you watch any sport or heck, if you watch porn, you will see that there are incredibly fucking skilled people (or well endowed men for porn). However not everyone can be that guy. Most can't. The sport/industry selects for those exceptional individuals.In the same vein, the Canaries would naturally select for skilled magical users. Noble families would want their kid to survive and would not send someone weak (for example Mithrun's brother) into dungeons. As for criminals, yes they can be revived but there's a good likelihood of getting killed in a manner that you can't revive them from easily or being killed above the dungeon. When we are looking at Mithrun and the Canaries, we aren't looking at randos. We are looking at people selected and trained to be extremely powerful magic users. They're as close to everyday people as a UFC fighter's hand to hand skills are to an everyday person's hand to hand skills.
>>291568531It's not easy to use. It has potentially catastrophic results if anything goes even slightly wrong, so it's not really shocking that most people wouldn't want to specialise in it considering how volatile it can be. You also need to get a ton of certification/permit stuff in order to actually legally use it, which probably deters even more people.
>>291568604Milsiril had a sword, but that seemed to be her primary offense as her dolls seemed to be her magic. Then again she could also just swarm people with her dolls and have them stab the fuck out of something
>>291568678makes one wonder how the captain is so strong, did they come to him like>We need you to kill the demon>Demon?!?>Training Montage
>>291568604mithrun's canary squad mostly seems to operate around the captain actually fighting. which kinda makes sense because he can solo most encounters if he's prepped for them so the rest of them are for recon and other non-combat roleslugging around a sword or an axe or whatever just doesn't seem like it would matter for any of them
>>291568722>291568722I imagine being the lord of a dungeon gives you a lot more magical experience than most. You get infinite mana to fuck around with.
>>291568604Pattadol has a staff (the fairy can transform into it, iirc) but she's mostly healing/barrier focused anyway, Fleki is a non-combatant, Otta is also mostly a non-combatant and is basically just there to open doors or provide advantageous terrain, Cithis has her wand (and from what she says earlier in the story, is capable with fire magic) while Mithrun and Lycion don't need weapons for their magic/fighting style.
I wonder how strong a Tallman werebear or ogre werebear would be
>>291562985>human trafficking>by a blatant pedoShe's raped dozens if not hundreds of children, hasn't she.
>>291568722Basically what happened, Milsiril figured out that she could use the demon as a way to motivate Mithrun to get out of his catatonic state and actually start trying to physically/mentally recover.
>>291561472Mages are already rare. Places that socially accept magic/mages are rare, places that academically train them even rarer. It became kind of a joke, like Kui in her world building wisdom named the school that teaches magic "The Magic School". But no it really is THE premier magic school on the continent, the elves may have one or two but I bet for the most part it's an apprentice/journeyman/master situation. Any mage could in theory learn it but it'd be a massive pain in the ass even finding the info, and they wouldn't have the resources that Falin did with her talent and education. You'd likely need to be an elf to even have the manna pool to do repeat precision teleportation magic. And Mithrun can't teach it to anybody now.
>>291568855if thistle ended up living would he be like this................
>>291568936Unfortunately, the demon seemed to eat all of him. Mithrun got to keep seething hatred, thistle got completely husked.
>>291568960>got to keep seething hatredi wonder if hatred isnt tasty
>>291568797>takes a huge toll on the body Oh yeah this line struck me as kinda strange. Feels like it defeats the point of becoming a beastkin if taking your hybrid form fucks you up. Maybe another reason for the Izutsumi experiment, a bear with a human soul might stay in fighting shape for far longer.
>>291568960>>291568936I mean Thistle could live if you, like, hooked him up to an IV and waste removal system. But he'd basically be a vegetable, he isn't brain dead but he's quite close to it
>>291569009It's a rather complex desire. It's gonna be delicious. the demon was probably saving it for last
>>291569011Presumably it's much like performance enhancers, you're trading your late life for crazy performance for a while.
>>291569011I guess its kind of like the potential physical toll that high level competitive body builders can deal with. The strain of such a transformation + using such an artificially enlarged/muscled form, even through magic, would end up wearing your regular human body down, too, even internally.Guessing that, the more similar the animal is to your natural physical build, the less strain there is, but large bears are probably gonna be more than even most bulky tallmen could handle.
>>291569083>>291569100With steroids you can at least stop taking them. For werebears, I guess they just have to stop transforming? That kind of sucks. Maybe a weretiger would be best then for a mix of strength, agility, and longevity. And some Siberian tigers hunt bears in Russia, so you'd still be plenty strong.
>>291569144I mean steroids still fuck you up like crazy, you're being severely micromanaged by a medical professional to avoid backlash and I doubt these pit fighters have a team of elite mages to solve their hormonal issues.
>>291569144Even after you stop taking steroids, if you've been doing it long term it could've already caused a lot of damage to your internal organs + joints and ligaments due to the strain that's been put on them. I imagine its the same here. You'd have to 'retire' early and stop using your bear form almost entirely unless you want your body to degrade and die way early.
>>291569204>>291569167Yeah, the tiger or wolf probably are the better options I wonder if a big ogre could handle the werebear transformation without as much strain as a Tallman?
>>291569231probably but what's the point if they normally already outclass a bear
>>291569231Probably, though I guess in that case it'd just be WAY too rare to source an ogre for that kind of procedure. Even if they were a slave, you can't exactly expect them to behave once they're given the powers of a fucking grizzly or polar bear or something.
>>291558802Oh the slut
>>291568960I kind of wonder if Mithrun just didn't have all that tasty a desire. He mostly seemed to want companionship and not to be drafted into special ops, which aren't super weird or unusual desires. Thistle had crazy overlapping desires that had been allowed to ripen for a thousand years. It's sort of the difference between a mediocre sandwich and your favorite dessert. You might leave a last bite of the sandwich, but the dessert's plate is getting cleaned.
>>291568159I'd offer Lycion my shrimp. And get immediately rejected because that man only had eyes for Fleki.
>>291569576the blurb in the adventurer's bible about the demon says his overarching wish was either a world where no one could wrong him/a world where no one could hurt him in fan translation. i think since these are all selfish wishes no matter how you go about it, maybe the demon couldn't get very much mileage out of them.
>>291561328>>291561342It's likely a great fit for him since it's so dangerous to the user, and he doesn't feel fear in that sense anymore. It's like how many of the best in extreme sports have a lack of self-preservation, you kinda need to be wired that way to actually put in the time into something so dangerous to get really good. You will also be calmer while doing it, further increasing your chances to succeed
>>291558981Lion, contain your bedroom eyes please.
>>291569576>>291569634so if it ate everything it could regarding his past egotistic self, he survived because there are still a lot of new desires to gain that he didn't have before. which feels a bit off to me for a few reasons but overall that could explain it.
>>291569634"I just want to be left alone" and being content to live in the dungeon is pretty much a dead end ambition for the demon's goal.Thistle bringing the entire kingdom in was promising, but the lion really fucked up the preparation with his greedy nibbling and he stopped caring about making the people happy instead of just preserved, and started just telling them and the lion to shut up about wanting more/to return to the surface.
>>291567198Women are more casual about touching each other than men
>>291568855>>291568722To be honest, I absolutely love that you can lawyer yourself out of the demon eating your desires (only to an extent to be fair). That manipulation is a two-way street in a sense. Also makes me feel way more hopeful for post story marcille not ending up with other shit eating out of her
Did Senshi contribute much after the revival? He still cooks I guess but it seemed he and Chilchuck got a bit sidelined later on
>>291570002there's still a couple chapters I'd say they're important to the plot, but I do agree they get a little sidelined because here on out, this is truly the laios and marcille showactually, both are definitely important in the post-lion stuff, too.
>>291569756Its equal to not trying to fish all the fish in the pond, keep small fish in it
Eating monsters the whole journey wasn’t fun for Marcille? Maybe if there was a little bit more of elf sex/romance this wouldn’t have happened.
>>291563790>>291563902>much more intolerant and biased against demi-humans.>"You can't trust them, keep distance" - KabruVs>"Kill on sight actual humans, worse than animals" - ToudenAlso Kabru never says to kill demi-humas/Kobolds, just to watch out
What would the lion think of picrel desire?
>>291570131They don't kill all humans on sight, just mountain people. Who continued start shit even after when they were previously chased off/spared, killing trespassers on sight is not ahistorical levels of racism it's not even all that racist to kill cattle rustlers, horse thieves, and generally anyone fucking with your food security on principle. Kabru on the other hand literally goes "oh so they're some kind of demi-human?" when he hears they're dealing with violent savages, and is then mortified when he realizes they're talking about other people. He doesn't think of humans and demihumans as equals.
>>291558964>>291566055Even in the YenPress translations, his record as the only one allowed to have a potty mouth stands!
>>291569634>overarching wish was either a world where no one could wrong him/a world where no one could hurt himWhat about that isn't a common wish? Like that's what at least 3/4ths of 4chan would wish for, let alone normies.
>>291570276>racism powerscalingim caught between thinking he's got a point and liking him a little less because it's somehow abhorrent that he thinks these things secretly while putting on a pleasant face. at least the elves tell you they think you're dirt.
>>291568159Cithis being 5'5" made me do a double take. I forget that she only looks so tall because she's usually towering over other elves
>>291570333>illiteracyI didn't say it was uncommon i said it was selfish
Cithis? More like Sithis.
>>2915703655'5" is still decent for modern day women. I think the average height is 5'4" for women? So she's slightly taller than the average real life woman.
>>291570496Your post made me curious to look up the exact number.5'2.5" for JapanCithis is pretty tall by the author's frame of reference but closer to average in some other countries.
>>291569011Switching back and forth probably fucks up your body.You know how when you lose a ton of weight quickly, you end up with skin flaps, and when you gain it too quickly you get stretch marks?Imagine that, but you gain and lose your weight in seconds, and instead of just skin stretching, it's also muscles and bones.
>>291570379Since it's such a common wish, it makes no sense why the demon targeted him in the first place. The canaries are criminals. At least one of them must have a super crazy delicious desire, to have fallen into criminal activities, no? Mild plot hole detected?
>>291568396Yeah, that's definitely true.That's probably the case for most mages, where they have one big specialty, but dabble in other things that would be useful.Teleportation just has an exceptionally high barrier to entry to be useful, especially in combat.
>>291570762yeahit's likeAnyone can kick a football. Can most people kick it as well as Messi? Any English speaker can read the words of Michael Jackson's BAD. Can most people say the entire song in 20 seconds like John Moschetti Jr.?

>>291571400Yup, party's over anon. Typical manga ending wrapping everything up too quickly in one chapter. So sad, but them's the breaks. Certainly we're never going to see a manga take an entire volume's worth of chapters to slowly wrap all the lingering plot and character threads up, check in with nearly everyone, and then get even more side content rounding out the epilogue. What're you, insane? If a manga did that it'd basically be perfect. But alas, it'll never happen.

>>291570886>what girl doesn't want to be taller, strongerGirls are generally rather scared to develop muscle and the tall ones want to be short if their height rivals men and they find noone who is talker than them in heels. Saw a couple tall women cry about that or develop weird posture to appear shorter. Not every tall woman turns out to be an amazonian model
>>291571812But regular intercourse has a positive influence. And it might just give that Performance Spark you need in the dungeon
>>291564007Another way to racism-maxx is to simply work in hospitality for a few years. I don't recommend it, but at the same time I unironically believe every person ought to be required by law to put in at least 2-3 years in the service/hospitality industry.
>>291570138wife material
>>291571876Tell me stories
>>291563184>I choose not to choose lifeNice detail of Lycion putting her into a recovery position.
>>291571832i went on a date with a tall girl once. She was so self-conscious about it, and insisted she was fine dating a shorter guy when it was clear she wasn't cause she kept mentioning it to me again and again.
these extra little side pages are always so good
>>291562985Judging by that tone, her personal breakup seems unrelated to the human trafficking issue. It is a roundabout defense of pedophilia, implying that "it is boorish to meddle in someone's private romantic affairs."
>>291561069To be fair, she's already wrapped in spider silk at that point.
>>291559320It's interesting though, that Lion also says "Let's meet again, Mithrun", so he fully expects Mithrun to make a comeback.
>>291559061>"He's an enthusiastic fan of mine."Such a cheeky way of putting things. You gotta love the lion and his laid back "go with the flow" attitude. It's such a fun portrayal of an immortal being.
So uhDid Falin kill this dude?
>>291567023This is literally me.
>>291572892Death is just a setback in the dungeonIf I were in the dungeon I'd set up a tourist attraction for duels to the (temporary) deathActually that's why Lycion was involved in, wasn't he?
>>291572099Never noticed that. That's a nice detail. It's really neat how Kui uses little things to add characterization.
>>291572953stop being bald
>>291572431There it is
sex with literally all the elves
>>291572892Half of Falin's cameos involve her charging in to club something/someone
>>291572431That's the followup to the mall adventure, isn't it? It's eerie how well these modern day skits work. Obviously they're not canon, but they still give more insight into the characters and their relations.>>291566854Dat Otta blush in the leftmost image, after she got nibbled on by Fleki. On another note, those swimsuit illustrations look nice. I never get enough of how the cast looks in contemporary situations. Pic related.
No but seriously wtf do gnomes had to the world? They're like shittier elves with worst magic and they're unfuckable. Just kill them all.
>>291573364What does your existence add to the world?
>>291573364add*worse*going back to bed I'm too wasted>>291573392nothing I'd let someone kill me if they wanted
>>291573364>worse magicThe snippet we see from the wars they had said it was MAD, so it's just different>they're unfuckableSpeak for yourself
>>291559018Is arachnophobia a joke to you?>>291559029I guess it is.
>>291572431That hydra cake is probably 90% fondant and tastes like complete ass.
>>291573581But it's cool!
>>291573330>That's the followup to the mall adventure, isn't it? It's eerie how well these modern day skits work. Obviously they're not canon, but they still give more insight into the characters and their relations.I consider it the mark of good characters when you can pick them up and drop them into any setting, and they work no matter what.
>>291573330god I'd watch an entire series of the cast being reverse isekaied into a comfy slice of life existence
>>291562073Maybe his last trouble was because he impaled the previous lord with extreme prejudice, then the demon seduces him instead.
>>291571800that's clearly leomon
>>291573615I'd rather it just be an AU so they all have established in-universe backstories
>>291561337>>291562985Are you posting this material on purpose to make the thread archive sooner?
>>291559824Yeah seems like a restriction that Kui never explained
>>291573330it's kinda funny seeing mithrun's still fucked up here because that implies that he was brutally assaulted at best and raped at worst
>>291562028Seems like don't have the best land might be an understatement. I'd like to think those other lands not controlled by elves might just be savanna or outright desert. Maybe a post apocalyptic war remnant
>>291562628The bible says that dwarves are always much more decentralized and doesn't really have state authority. So difference between outlaw and military force can be quite blurred.
>>291574117dwarf ancap utopia
>>291574014I imagine the canaries in a modern AU would be a sort of civil service program for convicted felons on parole that also accepts volunteers, and the equivalent of becoming dungeon lord is becoming CEO of a grey company that just places all the blame on the current CEO, throws them under a bus, gets a new one and rebrands every time they get in legal trouble
>>291574220All non dwarves (and maybe gnomes) are not included in NAP
>>291573330I really want Senshis shirt
>>291572879It's fucking sinister as all hell. The lion knows Mythrun's situation, he's making a little ironic joke that only he gets about his suffering. What does it say that he mocks his victims internally like that?
>>291575003It says that the demon might in fact be a bit of a dick. Shocking.
The demon... is evil...?
>>291574014Fantasy races and magic still exist, why not the demon?
>>291568159>CithisI want to have passionate intercourse with Cithis
>>291567073>Bet if she bent over to pick things from the ground in front of Flamela so that she can see her anusMaybe that's the idea
Fleki is an annoying junkie who probably smells really bad she'd be an awful person to be around. I really feel sorry for Pattadal
>>291575407I can fix her. Right after I'm done fixing Yaku.
>>291575593You can't even fix yourself
Two Brats seducing King Laios Doujin when?
>>291575921halflings aren't exotic enough to excite Laios the way Orcs and Beastkin do
>>291576065That's why they're gonna seduce him!
>>291575921
>>291575921Otta wishes she was invited.
>>291567312This thing must feel awkward as hell to wear, it's almost like those dreams of going to school and realising you only have the top on, when there.
>>291576230i'm not an expert on women but any girl who wears something like this is probably an exhibitionist
>>291570365She was also on high heels in the comparison picture
>>291568604>>291568715Kui came with her relatively early, probably, she seems to be the only one using a weapon.She probably decided that elves are so specialised in magic they hardly use other stuff. Or at least in dungeons, she still put those helmet designs into the Daydream hour iirc.
>>291569204But then again they have healing magic, that can probably help,
>>291576479drug-addled sex and intense headpatting with fleki
>>291563638>>291564229>>291571466When they arrived at the island, Fleki and Lycion had the canary standard-issue capes and clothes.Few hours later, they are walking around in their underwear.
>>291575073Myth Devil wish he was half as cool as Lion
>>291572892>>291573274
>>291568396Fleki's bird is an actual real bird so when it gets eaten by a giant spider she FEELS it and shuts down
>>291573330Lycion is the uber elf on this pic
>>291568780>Otta is also mostly a non-combatantWe saw during the chimera Falin fight how useful those spikes are as an AoE spell. Otta just didn't have enough chances to show off.
>>291576708That is a fucken massive weapon for a spellcaster to useMaybe the Toudens are just naturally strong
>>291573274this is peak cleric performance
>>291575921As expected, Puck is down immediately, Fler will take money, Mayjack is the only one that hates this because she would an elf earnestly instead of playing around.
>>291569576Thistle actually had the demon sort of under control, he wasn't being kept aside as an aged treat, he had locked the demon away
>>291575921>Two BratsThey're basically hags already
>>291576739Falin is DnD cleric-coded, to sue that stupid memeword. I wish she had chain mail too, or plate.
>>291576824The demon took enough bites of him over the years to completely and totally warp him, so the bindings didn’t work well enough.
>>291573581>fondantNo way, with the amount of detail it has it must be modeling chocolate.
>>291573011Yes, and it was very illegal, but maybe if you could get away with it if you just use demi-human slaves instead of beastmen.
>>291576871I dunno if those were demon bites so much as 1000 years of absolute power while micromanaging an entire kingdom through the eyes of thousands of monsters. Thistle was a kid, after all. I think he did pretty well for himself.
>>291577072He was having a lot more trouble remembering his goals than I would expect for an un-munched man.
>>291577072Come on, Anon, you can see the demon licking him to make him forget what he wanted to do.
>>291575921Alright /a/, would you wife May, Fler or Puck?
>>291577211Mayjack, and be sure to make eye contact with Chil as I perform excessive PDA on his clone
>>291577211May 100%
>>291576479All /effay/, even Mithrun
>>291571812>but that's not gonna stop me from volunteering for the taskI'd rather imagine how Cithis would handle the task. Doujinshi of it when?
>>291577211Fler.
>>291576865>to sue that stupid memewordGood luck finding a lawyer who'd take that case, pal
>>291577365Oh shit, the Chinese are here.
>>291577169Might need a rereadBut, Thistle wasn't interacting with the lion directly when the group meets him post dragon kill. Lion was manipulating events indirectly sure but he didn't have access to Thistle
>>291564778Lovely
>>291577211May. Sexbraids and looking a lot like her dad gets me going.
>>291573330I like how stylish Falin looks in that pose. Also, Marcille's reverse chocker imprint is hot.
>>291577452because chinese don't have lawyers?
>>291577211I like May and Puck particularly but the are all cute and we don't know their personalities that much.
>>291575114demon goat is actually a gang name in this version
>>291578447>we don't know their personalities that muchMayjack is chil, Puckpatty is a ditz and Flertom is a gold digger for dwarves
>>291563184I dont have the taste for broken girls myself, but I imagine some people do and when they do they see this
>>291578625I was more under the impression that Puckpatty was a shyster
>>291578639I can't fix her and don't want to try. She can keep the wreck of a wolfman.
>>291578492kidnapped for ransom then, when the ransom was not paid on time, they...
>>291578774took his kidneys
>>291563902I think Toudens are just nordics. Laios basically qualifies as a viking, he checks out in his lifesfyle and in his ethnicity
>>291573330aaaaAAAAAAAAAH
>>291578955>run away from the army to become a legendary monster slayer and fuck an elfI think they have sagas about this.
>>291578639can confirm>t. broken girl appreciator
>>291573330Mayeb if Rin actually put in this much fashion effort, she wouldn't be rotting in the friendzone
>>291575407>Fleki is an annoying junkie who probably smells really badAlright, you've sold me on her. Where do I pick her up?
>>291576084Holy fuck good catch! Meme magic is real
>>291559051I think they were mostly in shock and the captain reacted so quickly they didnt really know what to do
>>291558897>she can give you instant boner by making you think your dick is stonewife material
>>291579137I wish I was that throne
>>291567220You're not gonna believe this...
>>291559029>arachnaphobia mode enabled
>>291572892Don't worry she revived him after, and threatened to do it again. And again. And again.
>>291568159I want to be wrapped round Cithis' finger...
>>291580208
>>291579137i think I understand why she was imprisoned. Pretty dangerous, if she's around muggles with no defenses against her illusion magic.
>>291576865>>291576923she would be so hot in armor
>>291578875Damn, both of them.
>>291580365She's that character in any penal unit story where you have to logically think "this one is actually too dangerous, better just execute".
>>291579137disappointed she didn't make Laios kiss her feet
>>291580471It gives me the impression that she could easily escape but just chooses not?I mean whats really stopping her from casting an illusion spell and going on her merry way.But then again, the elves seem to have the ability to track anyone just about anwhere so maybe running is pointless.
>>291576084Hita pipe, lmao
>>291580566she had to ask pattadol to let her mind magic laios. maybe she has on magic restrictors. kui's drawing of fantasy tsa includes making elves wear magic limiting necklaces. she also implied cithis was hiding something under the choker in an interview.
>>291581005>she also implied cithis was hiding something under the choker in an interview.either magic-augmenting tattoo or something a la Milady de Winter
>>291567679Winged Lion has been trapped for a thousand years. Unlikely the one that ate the captain and him are the same since Elves don't normally live nearly that long
>>291575407Try to be more subtle next time Cithis.
>>291581389They all share the memories and are in kind of trinity situation regarding the infinite mana realm.
>>291581389all demons share the same consciousness though so it's both A demon and THE demon
