reminds me of the book he read in the library that said slimes had the potential to be humans worst enemy, the book claimed slimes could absorb any property it was it contact with and questioned if slimes could absorb intelligence, makes me wonder if the black slime is a slime that absorbed something dangerous.

maybe one of the other timelines?

I understand its difficult to find someone not after money or status but if they were really motivated they could have found someone who didn't know who they were, the ernas sisters might be moderately famous but the avg farmer would have no idea who they are, realistically the majority of the population of their kingdom wouldn't know who they are it's above their social class. All I was saying is in novels when the main group start getting together it feels really unrealistic and forced. I'm just not a fan of novels making relationships feel like that.

while I do think that scenario is possible I doubt the author will waste the chance to add in a good fight scene and another tribulation chance, especially considering most of the readers probably want to see Orpal/Night get what's coming to him/her.

I have a feeling that if Solus does start dating someone Lith isn't going to be as ok with it as he thinks he is, with how depressed and alone he has been feeling regardless of all his friends and family, when Solus starts spending more time away it will just make him feel more of the same considering she is his closest friend . Don't get me wrong, I do understand why Lith doesn't want to try with a relationship with Solus and I respect it, but imo Lith is doing Solus a disservice by avoiding the situation, I'm not saying that he should get together but he should explain his reasons letting Solus keep hoping for something to happen or for Lith to make a move is almost cruel, the whole Lith x Solus being undecided and on hold is starting to feel drawn out, hopefully there will be a conclusion to it soon.

it would be hilarious if he used Verhen as his last name enough that it triggered Night's slave enchantment.

I get the metabolizing part, but the part that annoyed me was if the potion had a limit to what its effect can block? take the heat immunity one for example, I think it was said to last a few mins (3-5), for that duration is he immune to all heat? or does taking more intense heat make the potion duration go down quicker? it was only a small gripe. thanks for replying and for the novel, I've been reading it since it was it originally came out, it's still one of my favorite novels.

I would love a mass release ! but dont overwork yourself, the constant release and high quality are more important.

man, I wish I was rich so I could just throw stupid amounts of cash at the author and make him never stop writing 😁. thanks for the chapter, I love this novel.

I'm a bit disappointed by the potions, the effects lasting for a set duration makes little sense, the effects should last until metabolized or until they have been overcome, for example the heat immunity should be consumed faster the hotter it gets, the energy has to come from somewhere regardless or luck or probability, and the potion can only fuel the effect for so long. but from this chapter it seems the potions will stay active regardless of what is thrown at them for a set duration, so far this novel has taken a realistic/scientific approach at the mechanics to its magic/soul/tech, I hope it gets clarified because it's going to be a bit disappointing if said potion can just make you immune to said effect for a set amount of time regardless of how much it blocks.

Honestly I have nothing against Nalrond and I know it's just one date but if Nalrond and Friya do get together it's going to feel a bit forced/set-up , you would think it is possible to find a date outside of Faleul's class group.

I wonder if lith or some other forge master could make something that does the same effect as the balors wings ?

I hope either Xi , Lucia , or even Melkree becomes the main love interest , Ruby has had so little time in this novel she basically dosen't matter at the moment and there are many better characters with more history with Jake than her.

I wonder if lith could turn the spirits that follow him into abominations?

he must have been affected by the super dense anime protagonist syndrome .

it could be a good idea to have Marcus start making gear out of bones , bone armor and bone weapons could be healed through his necrotic energy . I also think it would be interesting to see a necromancer novel where the skeleton h can craft his own body , if his leg breaks he can replace it with the leg from a different skeleton , some skeletons might be better than others , maybe there could be runes/sigils engraved into the bones.

I like this fight better than the rare eye part. I still think it was a stupid decision on Marcus's side to try and fight a rank 5 , rare eyes or not a rank 5 should be able to make quick work of a rank 3 , the rank 5 should also be expected to have better gear and better emergency/life saving items , all together it doesn't feel worth the risk .

the "rare" magic eye thing is honestly really annoying and there way too OP , I suspect they would be less effective if Marcus was also rank 5 , but still comparing the rare eyes to physiques from cultivation novels like yin/yang bodies , the eyes feel a little too broken.

also I was curious why he didn't raise the chimeras as zombies ? they were rank 3s , at the very least they would make for decent foot soldiers/meat shields.

I'm curious how this plays out , necrotic energy might be strong but he is only a rank 3 right now , killing a rank 5 should be out of his means especially one as old as this guy.
