Chapter 77: Lake of Stars

— In the time Makoto is sleeping —-

An unfitting young kid was dragging one of his feet in the battlefield as he welcomes the companion that was returning from the sky.

“So is it over?” (Lancer)

“Probably. I went to the highest foothold you prepared after all. This was my first experience overlooking from the top of clouds. Don’t you know how to hold back?” (Sofia)

The woman that landed didn’t mind about the scolding tone of the kid and just answers.

“To think my sword would break that way. It was as if I was in a nightmare. I admit I was a bit panicked” (Lancer)

“I was literally the one who experienced it, so I was even more startled. The weapon a pervert holds is also in the pervert level huh. It was an unshapely dagger I have never seen before though” (Sofia)

“I don’t remember seeing such a dagger either. If possible, I wanted to collect it and duplicate it in our base but…” (Lancer)

The kid-shaped supreme dragon looks at the sword that’s on his hands. Only a bit of the base is left from the blade.

“So you retrieved it. Thanks. I totally thought you were frozen in ice and died from the shock. It seems that wasn’t the case, nice going” (Sofia)

“It is a part of me, so it is obvious I would do so. However, the moment it was broken, I felt a pain as if my whole body was being torn apart. Even though I was inside an annoying case of ice, the pain resuscitated me and I felt like dying” (Lancer)

“Well, sorry to hear that. Now, let’s give the advance signal to the demons and take it easy. As expected, I am unable to fight for some time” (Sofia)

“… Your sword was broken and your armor destroyed. You are even more tattered than when you fought against me. That your fighting spirit hasn’t weakened is commendable, or more like shocking” (Lancer)

Lancer’s words smelled like sarcasm. And at the same time, he was also praising the ability of his partner Sofia.

“In your case, you killed my companions, right? Well, they were reckless people that were gathered to kill a dragon anyways” (Sofia)

“Fumu, this time no one died huh” (Lancer)

“Yeah, almost all of my equipment is a goner and my body is all rattled. Even so this is probably better. We were able to take care of that pervert called Raidou or something like that. In a country without a hero, we will be able to provide enough damage to cease the functioning of Limia” (Sofia)

One could feel the amazement in Sofia’s words. Even for the girl named the Dragon Killer that has passed numerous battles, the self-called merchant Raidou was an existence she couldn’t comprehend.

An anti-magic sword that was filled with a supreme dragon’s power against a barrier. In that attack that she gave her all, she was only able to offset the barrier. An incredibly strong barrier. And despite all that he took his time to reform his own barrier.

Using an amount of time that could be called way too long in a battlefield to confirm the situation, and on top of that, his indecisive part which only though about escaping from the very beginning. After that, using a homing magic that Sofia hasn’t seen before. Thinking about the cost and performance of homing functions, it is an inefficient act no one would perform.

His sword skills were like a newbie who was growing his pubes. For his skills with the dagger to be like that, it was awful. It was to the point one would think he was making fun of the battlefield. At least, that’s how Sofia felt.

(But that last attack… For some reason, at that one time, Raidou stepped forward. Even though he was taken aback and was showing signs of retreating. Because of that, he was able to properly clash swords with me, moreover, he broke my sword) (Sofia)

In those movements, she felt like it wasn’t his own will but an instinctive action that kicked in. A movement that went against the predictions of the Dragon Killer.

The thoughts of stepping forward against an upcoming weapon is an action that is practically impossible for a magician. Even if he is a so called merchant. However, Raidou did it. It made Sofia wonder if Raidou actually has experience in swordsmanship.

(Are you telling me in that situation his body was able to remember those movements and connected his actions? He didn’t give me the impression that he trained so much to be able to do something like that though. That means…) (Sofia)

“Oi, something is…” (Lancer)

Lancer’s whisper-like words returned Sofia’s consciousness to reality. She soon understood why he was looking at the sky with a distorted expression.

From the sky, several dozens of blue lines came raining down from the sky. Breaking through the clouds, they all came down without distinction.

Each one was thin and were piercing the ground like a buckshot. If the barrier of Lancer wasn’t there, the bullets would have hit where the two of them were. The power of the bullets were on a level Lancer’s defense was able to defend against, but it was an attack that didn’t weaken. Thinking about the numbers, it was in a level that would rain for 10 minutes or so in the battlefield.

The demon army that had resumed their march, seeing the blue lights falling, one could tell that they were falling into chaos. Luckily, it didn’t seem like there would be a second round falling, but it was a situation where they can’t relax.

“?! This is!” (Sofia)

“Damn Raidou, is he telling us he will take us all along to his grave?!” (Lancer)

“I am going! I will go and obstruct him. If this continues, the army will be affected!” (Sofia)

“Sofia, you can’t! With the attack just now, the blades working as foothold were all destroyed. To think he would be able to destroy that amount of blades!” (Lancer)

“Then create more now. The next round might… wait” (Sofia)

The words of Sofia urging Lancer were stopped midway.  Her eyes were looking at the sky again. Looking at the clouds that were blocking the view of the one man that should be there.

“… An attack to destroy the footholds for the sake of not pursuing him. That one just now was for that reason right, Raidou? You are telling us your real attack is coming now” (Sofia)

Lancer’s expression was filled with bitterness. Sofia was staring up as well.

This attack just now was practically thrash for Makoto. Even with that, it was a magic with wide area of effect and with more than average power. And in truth, the demon army that received this attack had their formations disturbed.

Its element was water. Lancer looks at one of his legs. Unable to completely stop his attack, he received the magic and was now frostbitten. He wasn’t sure if he will be able to use it anymore, but at least he was sure that this level of wound will not let him use his leg in this battlefield.

“Just how much will he make me laugh, that guy. This isn’t an amount of magic power a single person should be able to create! And you are telling me he still has something up his sleeves?” (Sofia)

“Water element huh. One can tell he is quite confident in his ability with water” (Lancer)

(But what does this mean? A water spirit hasn’t lend anyone its powers in this place. Not only that, the magic power in the area is practically unused. There is no way he was able to create these spells without utilizing the magic power in the area…) (Lancer)

The supreme dragon Lancer notices a strange point. A big amount of magic power is needed in order to do wide area attack magic. Of course, one would need the help of a spirit and also the magic power in the surroundings. Because it is impossible to do so with your own magic power.

“Water. In that case, with this…” (Sofia)

Hearing Lancer’s whisper, Sofia was enlightened and she holds a necklace in her hands.

This is a product that lets one gain the assistance of a water spirit, and Lancer also knows of this property. However, the usage is only one time. In terms of water, one would probably obtain omnipotence over it. An incredibly high-grade tool. It’s so valuable they didn’t use it against the “arrow” of Raidou. Because Sofia and Lancer were confident they could manage without it. As a result, Lancer received an injury and when thinking about the current situation, it might have been the correct decision to save it.

(Certainly, with that we would be able to erase the influence of a water spirit from his spells. And normally it could even make him misfire. No matter what he tries to shoot, with the water spirit prohibiting his skills, the attacks he will be able to shoot are going to be limited. But… what’s with this bad feeling?) (Lancer)

“Lancer, I am counting on you for foothold. I will go where the effective range is and destroy his magic” (Sofia)

“… That is, you can’t Sofia” (Lancer)

“Why?” (Sofia)

“Because it is not certain. We will use that, however, it will be for defense” (Lancer)

Believing in his instincts as a supreme dragon, he gives instructions to Sofia.

And then he contacts the commander of the demon army. The commander that was trying to calm down the disorder received a contact from the two who took the front and fought against that person who was summoned by that annoying light. He soon reacted to his message.

Even when seeing the golden light that is characteristic of the Goddess, the commander wasn’t controlled by hatred and just concentrated on arranging for the new situation. Since the ones who headed to the light were Sofia and Lancer, controlling the army was easier. Anyways, he is a capable one.

‘Prepare for an incoming attack in the surroundings and create a defense barrier as quick as you can’

One could tell the demon army reacted to the orders promptly. As expected, they are really well trained, is what Lancer thought in admiration as he overlooked the situation. But there wasn’t much time left. A straining magic power is beginning to converge. Like an idiot who only knows of one thing, he predicted that another of those “arrows” was coming.

“Defense, huh. Understood. Certainly, I have a bad feeling about this” (Sofia)

“That’s how it is. You are able to go over there right?” (Lancer)

Lancer points at the demon army. He already deployed his glittering blades in the vicinity.

“Your preparations are fast. Then, I’ll be going” (Sofia)

“I’m counting on you” (Lancer)

Sofia nods at Lancer’s words. While cradling him on her arms, she exchanges positions with a blade.

A great noise pricks the ears of the two. They were in the middle of the troops so it is to be expected. The two of them hurry to the inside of the defense barrier.

“And? Should I use this now?” (Sofia)

Sofia holds the necklace and asks Lancer.

“Let’s see. In this part should be fine. Sofia, use that only to envelop us. Just in case” (Lancer)

“?!”

“If it is placed on top of the barrier, my heart won’t settle” (Lancer)

“… Even though we have shared a table with them for a few days. How cruel” (Sofia)

“It’s not like we have become companions. You also, I don’t feel guilt in you though?” (Lancer)

“We are in the battlefield after all. In terms of position, we are mercenaries. It is obvious to think about our lives as priority. I will follow the decision of my partner” (Sofia)

Sofia sends magic power to the indigo blue jewel necklace. The jewel glitters and crumbles, enveloping the two of them with the same blue glittering the jewel produced.

“It’s coming” (Lancer)

Lancer says.

“Really, we are like a bush snake” (Sofia) <ホント、藪蛇だったかしらねえ>

Sofia’s words sound as if she was regretting something, but her expression showed an interest in what was about to occur.

“We got no choice. If we were to look at the situation just as it is, the demons would have all rushed to that golden light and we would be unable to resume their march. That color which represents the Goddess is a symbol of fear and hatred for the demon race. If the troops we finally managed to put in order cause an insurgence, we wouldn’t be able to achieve our objective” (Lancer)

“And then, this is the result. Wouldn’t it have been easier if we just let them rush to that Raidou guy and have him kill about half of them in order to tie them back in fear?” (Sofia)

“If it’s just about the result. Well, objectively speaking, we might have been able to negotiate with him” (Lancer)

“What do you mean?” (Sofia)

“That he might actually be willing to cooperate with our objectives, and for that sake Raidou would be tolerant. Is what I assumed” (Lancer)

“I see. An impossible alternative huh” (Sofia)

“You… you should have noticed that he at least has hostility towards the Goddess right? But its fine to see it as that being all it is” (Lancer)

“It did feel that way. If he is someone that doesn’t care about the methods in order to achieve an objective, this attack would be the rising of the curtains. Ah, it’s coming” (Sofia)

“Umu. You have perception on the level of a demon race. As expected of you. Right on the mark” (Lancer)

It seems normal demon soldiers were beginning to sense the incoming attack. Something similar to screams were heard from here and there.

(What scary magic power. If it comes down just like that, even the hyumans that scattered will be caught in it! Ah, I see. What’s strange was the magic power. There’s no doubt what is coming is that arrow magic. It’s not a wide area magic. That means, he is not using the magic power dispersed in the world nor is he using the support of a spirit. He is using his own magic resource to create magic of this scale. Then don’t tell me the amount of magic power he has in himself is already…?!) (Lancer)

His thoughts were cut off at that moment.

A blue light illuminating his body.

—-

A blue distorted arrow opens a hole in the clouds.

The size isn’t that big. To the point one can’t comprehend how it bore such a big hole in the clouds.

In the beginning, seeing the difference between the size and the magic power they felt, they were as if all their tension was gone.

But the change took only an instant.

No one knows what happened inside the arrow, but a circle shaped ripple was born from inside it. It was as if an object had fallen into a water surface that ripple spread into the sky.

A few noticed the arrow swelled and accelerate.

Drawing a ripple in the sky once, the clear blue arrow repeats the same reaction.

3 times, 4 times. As the ripples increased in the sky, the arrow increased its size and speed.

It had already became a giant spear that released blue light. The spear pierced an area a bit away from the center of the demon army.

The army should have created a defense barrier in the vicinity. However, as if saying there was none, spears began piercing the crown of the troops’ heads.

A final reaction occurs. But this time, it wasn’t in the sky. It was because the spear was already in a state where it is pierced in the center of the army. It blows away the soldiers in its surroundings and when the distortion returns to its origin point, a freezing gale takes its place and rages. The devastating wind instantly converts the demons at a wide scope into frozen sculptures. The spear that had already created a disaster, in place of the ripples, it now accelerates and burrows completely into the ground.

A moment of silence.

From the feet of all the demons, no, in the whole ground itself a light is emitted. In the beginning it illuminated the whole battlefield and extended to the sky like a line, next, innumerable amount of lights of differing thickness followed. In a short amount of time, the landscape and sky were painted by the light.

A magnificent view. This was the only word that described this attack.

The spell caster, Mitsumi Makoto, probably wouldn’t expect such a spectacle of this level would occur.

Makoto? He is most likely thinking this only amounted to pestering the battlefield.

He didn’t notice…

That the brid he fired onto Sofia and Lancer was on a size totally different from when he shot it in the far off skies. A magic that he activated while experiencing the battlefield, moreover, in a state where his mind was totally filled with a danger to his life. A magic he slowly created while concentrating more than the normal. The difference in power is big. There’s no doubt one of the reasons was because he was able to be in a normal state of mind in the far off sky, no, it was because this was the second time he was experiencing that misfortunate occurrence he was able to manage.

Moreover, he is using as a reference the power of the ring explosion that destroyed the clone body of Tomoe and the Arke that was barely saved. And it only caused the chain explosion of 4 rings. Mitsumi Makoto evaluates his own magic power way too low.

Whenever a ring was broken, the brid rapidly increased the range of its power by leaps and bounds. Makoto wouldn’t even dream that it would create ripples in the sky and turn into a giant spear, piercing into the ground.

That everything he saw, the river, stream, forest, woods, the meadows where the demons were in and even the far off dried brown earth as well.

Everything was being enveloped in light. The hyuman army that was retreating was no exception. In the place they were was also in the diameter of the light that spear created.

Everything it touched was frozen and at the same time, being basked by that enormous energy, they break into dust. Turning into dust, they didn’t even leave a shadow behind and just dye the place in blue color. The spear that fell down from the sky had already created a destruction dome in its hemisphere.

In an instant that felt like eternity, the light steadily disperses.

At the site one could see the devastation as if the place was grinded… or not.

A big accumulation of water that was slightly smaller than the dome, but bigger than a pond. A single “lake” was created.

Just how much power is it needed to achieve this? At least not in the scope that a single person would be able to possess. It was fitting to call it a tactical weapon.

In the place where a forest was there and a prairie as well, a single surface of water reflects the sky as if it was always there to begin with. Water flowed into the several rivers that were in the vicinity, and they flow downstream again. It was an attack that changed the map.

On its lake surface, it was sparse, but there was the shadow of something floating in the air.

It practically didn’t move from its place. It wasn’t a soldier that survived miraculously. Most of them had barely any part of their body left and the state of their corpses varied. No, to be able to retain a part of your body in that destruction is enough to call it a miracle.

But that shadow was shaped as a person. Not only did it retain its whole body, while trembling, it put its right hand on its face and moves the wet hair that was blocking its eyes.

It was the Dragon Killer, Sofia Bull.

When looking carefully, close to her, one could also see a kid who lost one of his legs. Lancer.

“… Lancer, are you alive?” (Sofia)

“…..”

“Hey, that necklace. If used as defense, even if it is only one time, isn’t it supposed to protect the user completely from water element magic?” (Sofia)

“……”

“My “substitute” was destroyed, my order-made armor was destroyed and practically everything related to defense was blown away though? Look at me, I am naked, NAKED” (Sofia)

Just as she said, right now she was practically naked. Her shirt was torn apart and only a miserable amount remained, but there is no way one could expect any effects aside from working as cloth.

“… I see. It took one of my legs” (Lancer)

The leg he was dragging was gone. He wasn’t left unscathed.

“Raidou, that bastard is dead right?” (Sofia)

“… Probably. He might be floating just like us though” (Lancer)

Without exchanging looks, the two of them look at the sky while talking. They aren’t even touching the topic about why they are floating. It must be because somewhere in their mind, they understood they miraculously survived. That is what their eyes told as they look into the distant sky.

“… I think we should look for him and kill him before he grows up. If he learns competency and foundation, all hope will be lost” (Sofia)

“He is dead. He fell and died. For now just leave it at that. Anyways, even if we look for him now, there is no assurance that we can kill him. First we have to heal our wounds and prepare our equipment. I wouldn’t be able to handle having a mysterious body, who I don’t even know its origins, destroy our itinerary” (Lancer)

“Maybe he was not going all out?” (Sofia)

Sofia’s expression grew a bit fainthearted. She felt like Raidou was probably not being serious. Of course, he fought against the Dragon Killer. He was most likely serious, or so she wants to believe. It was a slight doubt she had in her heart.

“I don’t understand. I don’t understand anything at all. It’s as if we were blindfolded by the Goddess. I don’t know what happened and I can’t explain it at all. Being like this, I really want to press some questions to that Goddess. Maybe we should have shown him, that way we might have heard it someday. About who was the one that called him” (Lancer)

“Raidou huh. I thought about playing with the heroes for a while, but now I won’t be able to do that” (Sofia)

The same belligerent smile she showed to Raidou once again appeared in her lips. Even though it was a situation where they are practically unable to move, she was already thinking about fighting.

“Leave that for later. Finish my task first before going after Raidou. After putting in order your equipment and restored your strength, you can go have your rematch” (Lancer)

The grieving Lancer proposes a plan.

“… You are right. I understand Mitsurugi. My cards are not enough to hunt that yet” (Sofia)

“First of all, we have to regain our stamina and return to land” (Lancer)

“Yeah, we are splendidly unable to move” (Sofia)

The two laughed on the water surface.

At this day, from the 10 or so that miraculously survived this tragic event, a single rumor was born between the hyumans and demons.

About a person wearing red garments, the third envoy of the Goddess. It is said that he possesses a tall figure and peerless beauty and his age is that of a young one.

The small whispered rumors were proved true by that lake and word slowly spread into the world.

“The Devil”

That he is called like that, Mitsumi Makoto still doesn’t know.

  2. “he possesses a tall figure and peerless beauty”
    lmao!
    what have they been smoking
    hahaha

    But I will admit that nick name, “The Devil”
    is perfect.

    1. They probably confused him and the 2. Sophia for the height and looks, Mitsurugi for the age. But then, considering that the only way to survive that was to be somewhere far away and very lucky, it’s probably that the survivors did not get anywhere close enough to see the situation firsthand.

      1. Hell no. Whatever that shit they’re smoking is.😝 Must be damn good to have that kind of hallucination.😇😈 As you can see, both angels and devils approve it.😉

  3. >”tall figure and peerless beauty”
    Lies and slander. Now nobody will believe he is who he is…

    My thanks to you.

    1. tall and peerless beauty refers to sofia, young boy refers to lancer.
      they don’t know what really happened there, so some think the “Devil” is the red-cloak, some think it’s sofia and some think it’s lancer.

    2. the ones who said it probaly only saw fron affar, and Sofia and Lancer are probaly keeping his aparence as secret so that they can hunt him alone

  4. Nice chapter thank you Reigokai.
    How scary makoto is. That destruction is created when he get serious accidentally lol.

    1. if he remove all his restrain, the battlefield will most likely to be gouged out or turn into a ice tundra. tatsuya’s relative?

    2. “Serious”
      He himself considered it as a warning shot and not as a powerfull attack…
      All he did was overcharge fours rings and fire them.
      He didn’t actually put much of his own magic power in it.
      Now, imagine what would have happened if he was really serious and had used a consequent part of his own magic power.

      1. Well in this chapter said makoto accidentally using more concentration when he falling. That accidentally seriousness (i don’t know how to better express it lol) make serious consequences. Now imagine if he put more effort in battle.

    1. I think she not yandere, but battle junky with no shame (a battle pervert!?). Will chase makoto and become pain in the ass :3

    2. she’s going to be like the alternate universe mushoku tensei’s Eris where she always followed rapist rudeus and fights him.

  5. All right… this is a lot better than when I tried to read the raw for this with Google Translator. Still, that title is fitting for Makoto. A being who is not yet on par with the bug (goddess) yet stronger than the demon king, the devil. That alone is making me like Makoto as an MC even more than I already was. And trust me, I liked him as an MC from the beginning.

    Now for the next chapter, it’s what we’ve all been waiting for. I’m not going to say what it is, but most of you should already know XD

  6. I hate Sofir, she just want to battle and is not using her brains. Her dragon is also idiot, he admits that he could feel Makotos hate to godness and that they could talk to him and become allies. But no, wemust kill everybody who we cant unnderstand. I am looking to see what Tomoe, Mio and liinch would do to them. I hope that both of them would be scared to death to even think to touch Makoto again.

    1. they probaly mean that leting such un anomaly free might rinder their plans later on, and in the beggining they didnt know the extent of his powers, and though that it would be faster to just take him out

    1. I was thinking that maybe the demons would regain Makoto fingers and to clone him or something like that … but now I think they have become water although there is still a possibility.
      — powered by Google Translate ^_^

  7. I hope that the author doesnt make a magical artifact that is able to defeat Makoto -.- Its always like that. Some1 OP gets beaten by a human\demon made OP artifact.

    What im hoping for is that Mio and Tomoe will be able to wipe the floor with them! They are after all in a contract with Makoto, also they got the dwarfs equipments!

      1. But didnt that fight maniac girl and that cheeky dragon manage to pull it off? You also need to remember Tomoe is the strongest dragon and Mio even has a higher lvl than Tomoe, dont know abuot Mio’s skills and abilities tho. +They get buffed by Makoto’s insane magic power

      1. Oh… But what i meant was that. Regardless of how powerful gets. The enemy will be ble to make a convenient artifact, which will be able to counter Makoto or the girls….

  8. And there we have it. 🙂
    Limia’s now armyless, my guess on their defence forces surviving was wrong.

    And the golden light was the Goddess’s teleport, not the nuke that I thought the rings would produce.

    And instead of the BOOM!! that we expected, the rings actually super boosted the power of the spell it was contained in, so instead of a nuke, we get an absolute zero temperature field. With the same results. Everyone (except for 8 soldiers. And 2 idiots.) dies.

  9. There was this guy, trying to run for his life but anihiliating two armies in the mids of battle in process. Turning a whole forest into a lake.

    The third envoy they said?

    Tall and beauty they said?

    Red cloak they said?

    Dont make me laugh!

    Thos guys toke my finggers! My finggers!
    How in the world am i do, you know what guys need to do alone, when i dont have finggers to hold my stick?!!!

    Magic stick

    1. Think the “Master” has parts of his servant’s powers, like Tomoe’s Mist Gate, so he probably has Mio’s regeneration.

  10. “tall figure and peerless beauty and his age is that of a young one” welp if thats how the world sees raido then there wont be any more problems plus pretty sure raido/Makoto would develop that thing that stops the goddesses influence that way the goddess a.k.a Bug cant scoop him up everytime she wants too 😀

  11. I have two hypothesis on why they say he’s dead.

    It’s either he’s in Asora after he changed the map, or He fucking powered up again.

  12. The goddess favours beauty. The more beauty they have, the more blessings they’ll get, equal to more power. Thus, the hyumans are favoured rather than demons.

    So, a hero with so much (goddess) power that destroys the whole army, leaving a lake in the aftermath, must be someone with peerless beauty lol.

    Nobody knows the true story except sofia and lancer, but their conjecture makes sense. Hell, even the duo that fights Makoto directly didn’t know what they are going against.

    Thanks rei, been a blast reading the past few chapters. Keep it up.

  13. Yeeaaaaaah! That was badass.

    A devil to rebel against a bug goddess, perfect. Funny that they’d give someone presumably her representative that kind of name though.

    The hyuman and demon deaths are unfortunate, but the message of not taking either side’s shit is clear.

  14. He was just battlling against devil king army, so why did he was called devil ??
    I think to make him not like one the devil army, you should just change the title such as ‘satan’ maybe. indeed it maybe looked like he is far more evil than devil, but at least it could differentiate them.

    1. Some say that of demons or devils, one group were the original inhabitants of hell created to be like prison guards, while the other was the fallen angels and were supposed to be hell’s first inmates. Which is which is usually up for interpretation.

      1. A devil is a supernatural entity that is the personification of evil and the archenemy of God and humankind and a demon is an existence like a fallen spirit or a fiend

      2. There is also the point on linguistic drift. Originally, “Devil” was supposed to be a singular reference to a specific person, but for some reason or other (I suspect games), it was spawned into something similar to a race when it was actually a reference to a single entity.

      3. @Owl True. Somewhere along the way, devils became an entirely different race. Then again, I’m still confused on whether or not Satan and Lucifer are the same person, or two different people. That question might as well be a Gordian knot for all the clues I’ve found that might answer it.

  15. About a person wearing red garments, the third envoy of the Goddess. It is said that he possesses a tall figure and peerless beauty and his age is that of a young one.

    Poor Makoto maybe he could create a complex if he know what other peple talk in his back >o<

  16. thank you! I hope the MC fingers can be healed. So does Sophia and Lancer have the same relationship like Makoto with Tomoe and Mio and the lich?
    80-20 (master and servant) doesn’t seem to look like it.
    so 60-40/70-30 (parent and child), I guess?
    50-50 (equal) doesn’t seem.

    1. I wanna say master and servent, since Lancer has the body of a small child…and I think only master and servant changed the servants race to the master. But consider that, sophia was like lvl 900, maybe 1000 tops and she is the master in that relationship, consider how much stronger makoto is since he’s the master of two creature who break past sophia’s lvl by a mile

  17. i can imagine that scene pretty well even down to the effects and sound i think it would have….. seems fucking epic :O

    Thanks for the chapter 😀

    1. I keep imagining Final Fantasy’s Diamond Dust but at high speed. Especially when the ice crystal goes *PING!!!* and shatters to shards, and everything frozen in the area turns to dust.

  18. Anyone know how many chapter before we can see again :
    Sofia and lancer
    demon armies and IO
    or goddess POV

    i want to know their reaction so much mouHahahaha

  19. 3 envoy… she sure thinking twice before teleporting him again, cause not only he destroyed the place but doomed hyuman army and demon army, and she could not perceive hes power because of the especial ring against her, but she sure didint like know that he blew everything on the way.

    devil fits for now since he dont have allies, nut later maybe god killer?

      1. Sophia: “Damn it Raidou! 100 rounds and I still can’t beat you!! What does it take!!”
        Tomoe: “Maybe you should try changing battlefields, challenge him in bed.”
        Sophia: “You’re on!!!”
        Makoto: “I’m not sure whether to reward you Tomoe or strangle you…”
        Tomoe: “Evil Magistrate!!!”
        Makoto: “Strangle it is.”

        🙂

  20. Damn its killing me that this is a Japanese novel, so just throwing it out anyway but is there a Chinese translation of this perchance?

  21. calmly waiting for the day that makoto realizes that he basically did the equivalent of dropping a nuke on both armies involved in a war XD. guess that’s one way for a quick resolution. if everyone there is dead the fighting obviously ends roflmao.

    1. He’s still not on my level though.
      If he can kill 75,000 men with one magic then he’ll catch my full undivided attention.

        1. Why not? Sheeps are kinda cute in my opinion, especially when they have tentacles protruding from their back.

      1. lol. not fair of an evaluation yet. Makoto only used water magic derived from the brid(beginner level) by changing the attribute to water as harassment, while you used La-Shub Niggurath to summon the goats(?)/ sheeps(?) dark young.

      2. AHAHAHAH, People who live in glass houses should not throw stones !
        Both of you are still too weak to be my opponents, break stars and you will have my attention.

        Thanks for the chapter !

      3. Those sheep don’t belong to Ainz. They are birthed by a goddess that Ainz has to pay sacrifices to in order for the goddess to allow her children to help Ainz.

        Ainz is not god level at all.

  22. i honestly think the best part about this is that the random citizens probably think the goddess is playing a mutually assured destruction card ROFL

    “if you push me far enough i unleash this guy, both sides are f’ed. back off” – the goddess(as viewed by her subjects)

    1. Funny thing is, that if you look at it rationally, this serves as an enormous deterrent to all 3 sides, hyumans, demons and the goddess.
      Hyumans: Goddess is angry at our fighting and can even damage us with this secret weapon. We better stop fighting…
      Demons: Goddess has some secret super nuke monster thats God Tier in strength. K, just 1 goddess was trouble enough, looks like we’re screwed now.
      Goddess: So…summoning that thing (probably doesn’t remember his name and literally saw him as below bacteria in their first encounter) means he’ll harm my beautiful hyumans too….better stop…..

      Ofc, that’d end all fighting so its not gonna roll forward that way. But it would if they were all rational. xD

      1. If the goddess is rational the she would not have attractiveness as the main criteria in choosing a hero. It is war they are fighting not a beauty pageant.

      2. Technically for instance (for some millenium), the hero are given cheat power and could win without life threatening match against the demon, but they represent the Goddess on ‘earth’ so the Goddess chose them like symbol and you must recognize that look become important in this case.
        And for the level of Makoto I think it’s more about is class : it’s clearly a sort of ‘god’ and god don’t have level (like in Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka?).
        I like your analysis “BestGirlNeverWins”, it’s the first time that a third party enter the conflict. And it will be interesting to see who side with who ^^

      3. “If the goddess is rational the she would not have attractiveness as the main criteria in choosing a hero. It is war they are fighting not a beauty pageant.”

        …You know, I could say the same thing about elections. 🙂

        “If humanity was rational they would not have attractiveness as the main criteria in choosing a government. It is a government they are electing not a beauty pageant.”

        😛

  23. So … if the bug’s “Blessings” were removed, does that mean, what with everyone who was just killed, that he’s no longer level 1 … ?

    1. It might not have been the bug’s curse but rather his consciousness reconstructing resurrection thingie that he does before the archery practice.

      1. He used no such thing. He just removed his rings. And as was explained above, its just that unlike usual, he was actually in a dangerous situation and concentrating hard on the attack. In other words, without his magic limiting rings (but still wearing the magic limiting coat), he was going all out in that attack as opposed to an attack launched from a more relaxed state (ie his previous attacks).

      2. While that’s a great theory, I don’t think it’s accurate. After leaving the ruins of the 1st town, and before reaching Tsige, he killed a number of things that any normal level 1 would’ve leveled several times from (The Ruby-eye Bee thing and a few others). Yet, when he registered at the Guild a few days later, he was still level 1. I could be wrong, but I’m pretty sure he hadn’t done his little exercise in that interval (I didn’t re-check as it’s somewhere between chapter 26 and 43), but I could easily be mistaken. The way I see it, the only differences between this time and back then is any effects the bug may have placed on him and the number of kills

      3. Possible. As Sath said, it’s a good theory but with some loopholes. I suspect his level is so low because his “Character Class” is so wacked out he needs huge amounts of Exp just to level.

        The other possibility is that to level, you need to fight/kill tough opponents and Makoto is so OPed that not much qualifies as a “tough” opponent, so he keeps getting 0 Exp.

        I just remembered the racist girl. If she killed Tomoe’s clone and an orc (and her 2 friends), shouldn’t she have gotten an insane amount of exp and levelled up?

    2. Nah, wanna know my theory? it´s simple overflow :p like in a game, you rach level 9999 and then it resets to 0 because there is no higher level, so those papers that judge level are the ame? they judge your level by the energy level or whatever, so, he´s already strrong enough to enlave a bunch of supreme dragoons and mio which are all around lvl 1300-1500m right? Whichs means is level would need to be somewhere in the 10 000s if he can contracts hordes of these levecap-monster. maybe the paper just can´t measure it? instead of error it says 0 or Nil for NOT IN LIST and shows the same colour as it would for lvl 1 :p
      After all he has God tier power, you can´t expect that people who normalle at max reach somewhere aroun lvl 200 have the fitting technology to measure his strength :p

    3. Hmm someone come out with this theory. (Not mine)
      In the pervious chapter(somewhere far beginning of the story) Tomoe found out Makoto’s archery style is too dangerous as it is like Makoto going to suicide(or something like that). So it makes his level refresh everytime. (Maybe)
      I think this theory makes sense as Makoto did not check his level anymore after that. So it’s totally possible!

    4. All of this talk of level is meaningless, though. The level system either grants strength, or it measures strength. If it’s the former, Makoto has discovered a way to increase his power outside of leveling. If it’s the latter, the number is meaningless for anyone who knows him, or faces off against him. After all, what does a godling need of levels?

      Keeping him at level 1 also keeps our protagonist in conflict with this world that only judges things superficially. It’s one of the major themes to date.

      1. Yeah, i think it become running gag in this series: look he have 2 beautiful attendant with absurb level but lol he just level 1 noobs.

      2. The only ones who underestimate Saitama are the ones too weak to sense his power and the presence of death that clings to him like a love struck puppy. Carnage Kabuto and Boros were able to see him for what he is quite easily.

  24. Thanks for the chapter. I hope Makato doesn’t go into denial about he whole experience when he wakes up. I want to see him practice and try to get stronger or at least have better control and efficiency of his power.

  25. Thanks for the chapter, Reigo-sensei!!

    Seriously, I thought that Brid was a Fire spell. but this is a lot more awe-inspiring! Not only freezing all within the vicinity of impact, but freezing then disintegrating everything in a large area underground detonation, then expending the remaining magical power into so much water it created a lake. Worthy of being compared to Galveira, the Bow of Light and Tatsuya! Hell, those two only converted matter into energy, this one had enough remaining power left to CREATE matter!….and he wasn’t even very serious.

    Man, even though I don’t go THAT way, I’d ask for a chance to wipe his D…

  26. > Getting their legendary grade weapons destroyed by one swing of our MC
    > Getting showered by numerous magic arrows which need impossibly huge amount of magic
    > Experiencing a tactical nuke attack in close proximity and barely surviving
    > Seeing everyone dead
    > MC didn’t even go full batshit, just trying to run away all along

    First thought of the self proclaimed Dragon Killer, Sofia Bull(shit): “Lets kill him before he gets too strong!”.
    How in the world do you think you might even have a chance to that after experiencing all that?
    Does the author of this story really want to let every enemy of the MC look like brainless idiots?

    Why would they even fight him when he clearly says that he has no friendly ties to that Goddess? How about aquiring him from the get to before decimating his fingers…
    Man, this makes me irrationally furious…

    1. Its completely normal for that to happen. The simple fact is that, even compared to other “isekai” stories, makoto is OP as hell. Chapter 77 and he is already God-tier strong, probably stronger than all the other characters except the obligatory “secretly OP boss character” (maybe the bug/goddess, maybe someone else becomes that strong, who knows). And Lancer/Sofia think that he is a summoned hero like the other 2, of course they wouldn’t expect him to be so far above their level. And after that it kinda snowballs. “He used up this much magic…without relying on his surroundings…he simply MUST have reached his limit, there is no way he could possibly have more…”, “falling from this height is sure to be fatal or at least wound him grieviously.” After the frigging nuke he just threw, its rational to think that it was a last resort all out desperate attack. Not to mention that they don’t know about the ring and the coat sealing his power. As far as they’re concerned, they believe that he was cursed by the goddess and that the blessing removal item they used powered him up. They are making bad choices ofc, but thats because they’re obviously lacking crucial information. You can’t expect characters to make the most rational decisions they can, since that requires them to know things that they have no way of knowing yet storywise.
      As for fighting him, heck, he was summoned by the Goddess’ light. Its not very convincing when a well above average human shows up from the Goddess’ summoning and says “I’m not related to her, don’t fight me please”. The rational conclusion from that is that he is a hero who might be trying to catch them off guard. Also, if he was as strong as the heroes or below, there wouldn’t really be a need for them to try acquiring him in the first place. A supreme dragon like Lancer is probably well above both of the heroes combined. A single hero wouldn’t make a large difference in their force.

      1. The author decided to make him OP and then tried to pair him up with enemies but the problem is that….There is only 3 total beings (in the raws) mentioned in that world (hint hint) that actually match up with him in pure power at the moment of which one is the goddess….soooo how is author-san suppose to make him go through any fight and not steamroll it? Thus the creation of the battle focused idiot that in reality can’t fight him but for the sake of the story-line didn’t want to get rid of just yet. On a side note for like the last 7 months the raws updates have been short chapters and generally very on and off updates because in my personal opinion the author is having writers block from where he wants to take the story. Since makoto as of the latest chapter is basically at god strength but, the author doesn’t want him to kick the goddess ass just yet. Oh the woes of a writer who wants his characters overpower but,still wants them to have opponents

    2. I think they are smart enought to trying kill makoto asap,after all makoto right now weak with cqc and that sofia can be said one of the strongest in cqc,it has been proven that makoto can only react to the last attact and he deffend it pure with instinct and you sure know that you can not battle with strong enemy only with instinct. If he can overcome that weakness, then they won’t have a chance to win against him after all

    3. They are thinking . We atack him now hi maybe is going to fight for the humans or for revange so lets kill him before he becomes even more stronger even if we have 1% chance for win.

    1. Nah, Sofia sounds like harem material. Plus, Lancer hasn’t met Tomoe. He(?) has to at least see Tomoe being Makoto’s slave for the obligatory shenaningans before he is allowed to die.

      1. Sophia is a bitch who should die. MC has more reason to kill Sofia than the adventurer girl he killed.

        Both MC and the adventurer didn’t know his rings could turn into bombs because the stupid dwarves never told MC that the rings not only sucked magic but could one day turn into bombs.

    2. The worst of it is that those two are the ones that provoke him in the first place. He would have just escaped if they leave him alone.

  27. Congratulation BUG, you earn yourself an ASH AT YOUR FACE, BLOODY WATER DOWN YOUR HEAD, and NO CONTRACT LAKE. LOL, this is really bomb Both side as I imagine it would happen except my opinion on Meteor than Spear falling into the battlefield. But still, totally worth reading “What happen if you make a wrong decision in battle?” after knowing will become a result of MANY DEMISE as it happen even if it was in MANGA/ANIME.

    ASH AT YOUR FACE – Hyuman and Demon turn into dust as mock of god foolish
    BLOODY WATER DOWN YOUR HEAD – Creation of many death of Hyuman & Demon Sea of Blood
    NO CONTRACT LAKE – No bound of making a lake in the middle of battle as BUG’s non-result VICTORY

    1. well, technically it’s a win for the goddess here:

      no summoning: hyuman army defeated, fort invaded, demon army continuing

      summoning: hyuman army defeated, fort saved, demon army defeated

      sure the method was brutal, but the results are there, would use again

  28. “About a person wearing red garments, the third envoy of the Goddess. It is said that he possesses a tall figure and peerless beauty and his age is that of a young one.”

    I laugh hard at this…
    thir envoy, well literally yes, he is summoned at third
    BUT
    TALL FIGURE . . .
    PEERLESS BEAUTY . . .

    what a sarcasm to Makoto :v

    1. I can’t imagine a normal person’s reaction to Makoto at this point. Seeing him for the first time be like, “Ewww, what a short and ugly person!” *seconds after, finds out he is The Devil* “Oh SHIIIIT….”

      Them Fear-Glasses make people see him so differently, haha

  29. Thanks for the speedy chapter Rei. We love you!! 😉
    Really… A lake. Not even a crater, but a damn lake.
    Makoto did all that and didn’t even realize what he had done. Clearly unintentional.
    Okay. Right now he has no knowledge of the consequesces of his actions. Later on however, I hope he will he able to (after Academy Town arc possibly) because if not, it would be irresponsible. An irresponsible MC is not good.

      1. I don’t think he would be suspected as one who done it. Even if some people would say he is the one people would just see it as crazy talk.

  30. Wow… Just wow… MC greatly exceeded my expectations. I’m sure he won’t learn about his own attack for a long time. And it’d be very hilarious if someday he hears rumors about the ‘Devil, the third of Goddess’ envoys after wondering ‘What a lake is it? I don’t remember anything like that’. Lol.

  31. MC team :
    1 supreme dragon
    1 calamity spide
    1 high hyuman (formerly lich) CMIIW
    1 star powered MC

    Goddes team
    2 hero : 1. reasonable girl hero 2. crazy horny scum hero

    demon team
    1 : still don’t know how much and how large

    Sofia team
    1 dragon slayer
    1 supreme dragon

    let’s do royal rumble.

  32. Thank you~ Reigokai-San!
    Just that, the TOC has not update at all, for me who keep the TOC as a fav page, it’s difficult to keep track (I don’t check my mail often to subscribe)…
    It’s fine if you are busy to update… ≧x≦

      1. Use “an” before unsounded “h.” Because the “h” hasn’t any phonetic representation and has no audible sound, the sound that follows the article is a vowel; consequently, “an” is used.

        an h-bomb

  33. They managed to survive that yet they’re still going after Makoto,yare yare. they already fucked up when they didn’t try to negotiate with Makoto,they just missed their only chance (0.1%) to defeat Makoto here. oh well let’s see how long both of them will last on Tomoe and Mio (if you’re wondering where’s Shiki,he’s beside Makoto shivering).

  34. “hey, girl, I saw you’re really thirsty for blood, so I gave you water. a LOT OF WATER. Happy now?”

    appear out of nowhere clad in red, obliter 2 armies in 1 strick and now is called the devil. Mmmm… Ok time to learn magic other than beginner level, wait what?

    1. Technically, the lake contain bloods of the armies that died even if it is just in a metaphorical sense since they turn to ice dust.

  35. oh NOW they realise that conversation was an option?
    it’s like the old saying: “one doesn’t believe in settling things peacefully untill a mosquito lands on one’s balls”

    thanks for the chapter

  36. I summon thee, oh i beg of ye, hail down oh rays of light from the frozen thundra, envelop everything with the calming and soothing color of death, disintegrate everything you touch in to dust of pure white, let this countless corpses grace this new body of water that shall be place to this very land. Grace your eyes upon this grand spectacle.

    Azure Lance of Destruction

  37. Thanks for the great work!
    Wouldn’t have noticed that chapters 76 and 77 were out if I didn’t look at the comments.

  38. Just who called him beautiful and all? the only one who see makoto was sofia and the dragon the rest was away, so how in the hell they got to call him 3 envoy, beautiful and all?

    1. It’s probably a mix of 3 rumors, people saw Sophia, Lancer and him at the scene, so it’s like the “blind men describing an elephant” scenario, one feels the tail and says elephants are thin and long, another feels the leg and says elephants are thick etc.

      Different survivors individually saw Sophia for the looks, Lancer for the age and Makoto for the red clothes, so it got mixed into “a young beauty wearing red”.

  39. I’m having a hard time understanding the MC’s thoughts. He wants to go into medicine and be a merchant and expand his business throughout the hyuman civilization, but he doesn’t want to help when a Capital is about to fall that will change the world map?

    I miss the MC that ran to a Superior Dragon to plead for a single Orc’s life.

    1. because the entire war is pointless for him to intervene

      the demons literally NEED to reclaim their stolen land, but to get it they have to completely crush the hyumans as they are to racist to share.even if there are hyumans who are sympathetic, the goddess and her religion favors the eradication of demons.

      the hyumans will never accept demons and will strike them down whenever possible. it doesn’t help the fact that they don’t speak demi-human language, raised in a culture where beauty = status, and adventurers steal/loot.plunder from demi-humans as if it’s the most normal thing (the worries of the dwarves and extinction of rare medicinal herbs).

      the war simply has no justice in it. people are just going to die no matter what. helping the hyumans means condemning the demons and vice-versa.

      makoto can take the demons into asora, but he still has yet to accept the forest ogres. it may take a while for the demons to get a shot and especially after almost killing him when they could have left him alone.

      1. There is a point for him. His whole business shares its fate with the hyumans. He’s acting like it has nothing to do with him. Even though he’s trying to avoid the war, sooner or later those hyuman cities that he thinks aren’t the front lines will become the front lines at some point. Academy City, Tsige.. Are no exceptions.

        There’s no justice in letting a whole city full of non combatants die either. Especially when you have the power to do something about it.

      2. not exactly. he isn’t actually just helping hyumans, but anyone who is suffering from an incurable disease/curse like the hyumans who were turned into trees.

        right now, only the hyumans are highlighted as potential customers but that is only because he is currently exploring hyuman territory. demons, too, can also get sick and he may even set up a branch shop in demon territory as well. I believe there are also elves, but they have been largely ignored so far ironically (most stories would have an elf appear by now).

        also, Makoto is considered a demi-human, ugly, or a chimera by hyuman standards. the fact that he employs demi-humans for his store also antagonizes the hyumans according to Rembrandt’s thoughts. One of his primary objectives is to reduce the discrimination towards demi-humans, but that is not going to happen without Makoto fighting against lots of hyumans to protect demi-humans.

        although the demons might try to eradicate all of the hyumans, they still have to destroy the capitals of the last 2 hyuman kingdoms, overcome the gritonia princess’ schemes, kill the fairies and dragon blessed by the goddess, and defeat (which is not going to happen) or negotiate with the 3rd envoy of the goddess. none of those is going to be accomplished anytime soon and we all know the demons will eventually end up in asora as that world is gradually being made into a paradise for demi-humans (the entire set-up for the demons to war with hyumans can be solved in an instant if they make a deal with Makoto). this also does not include what the other races that are not involved with the war will do. Makoto has more than enough time to do what he needs before the demons crush the hyumans, especially if Sophia is no longer leading the assault forces

        regardless of the outcome in this war, it will not affect Makoto’s business.

      3. One of those hyuman capitals was about to fall if not for his last attack which wiped out the armies of both sides. Although he doesn’t know this.

        You’re going off on a tangent and making things way more complicated than it is. Simply put, this guy is establishing hyuman relations for his business, he’s establishing hyuman trade routes for his business, he’s buying land from hyuman governments. It’s obviously a huge blow to his business if the governing landscape changes. Let’s not forget about him trying to find out about his parents.

        Point being the war very much has to do with him. Regardless of that. My biggest point was the fact the MC seemed so detached from the fact that an entire city was about to be slaughtered. Does to seem like the same guy who went to face a superior dragon to save a single Orc.

      4. well I don’t think he changed that much it’s just that the MC who dislike(hate?) the goddess don’t want to do what the goddess want him to do. and he pretty much doesn’t know anything that is happening, he doesn’t have a single relation with that empire/kingdom while in ema case he already know their problem and want to help them from his own will, not because being forced by the goddess and he’s practically was just being thrown in the middle of battlefield without knowing the capital is attacked by the demon. and the scene that he first see doesn’t indicating an attack at all just a battlefield. beside not every hyuman is as nice as the orc why must he save them when he doesn’t even know them as he is not obliged to.

      5. Did you forget the demons hate the demihumans as well and were behind the near extinction of the Highland Orcs by tricking their females to die? And the demons were trying to manipulate the ogres as well?

    2. Problems with your complaint:
      Makoto doesn’t know the capital is about to fall – his previous location is over a months travel distant from the battle lines in a completely different country. Its entirely possible that he does not know that there are major battles happening.
      Makoto doesn’t know that he was summoned to the capital battle – He went from transporting between two cities to suddenly being in a forest with communication with his servants cut off. Behind him he sees some hyumans running, in front of him he sees what looks like an army of demons on the otherside of a shallow river.

      Makoto can’t even see the walls of the Capital from where he is, as far as he knows he was dropped into a random battlefield somewhere in the world and that the hyumans are retreating or reforming, he can’t even really tell how many are taking part in the battle. Before he could figure out where he was and what was happening he was attacked and lost several fingers, at that point he started to panic. Complaining that he was not trying to defend the capital is asking him to know where he is in the world at all times and to know the status of all combat on the front, the Goddess certainly didn’t bother to explain to him where she was dropping him. Its entirely possible that the Goddess dropped him there to try and get him killed while acting as a distraction, I really doubt she expected him to affect the battle the way he did.

  40. Ya so Mokoto pretty much destroys both the demon and hyman armies with this sky high bombardment. And like 10 people survive. Thats got to be a horror story for them. I reminder the mc from tensei shitara slime datta ken doing something similar to an army of 10000 when they tried to invade his country. Its not on the same level since Mokoto didn’t intend for it to happen. Still good times.
    Lancer saids that if Mokoto sides with them he can be tolerate. He is wrong it is he who is being tolerate. Two other then Lancer and Sophia how could have spread the rumor about the mc. They don’t look as the type to give out information like that or spread rumors and if they report the information, I don’t imagine a leak. There should have been no other witness.

    1. Yeah, I remember what Rimuru did to become a demon lord. That was brutal, especially because they thought it was pure magic and thought the barriers they had against magic would protect them. The poor fools didn’t even understand what happened to them.

      1. well,makoto dont ned to save the hyumans every time,and more when they killed the people from asora,the goddest brainwash most of human to hate demi-humans to death because they are ugly.

  41. I think that comment about the “Bush Snake” was supposed to be a comment about how they went to prevent the danger of the goddess summon and it boomeranged back at them. When I did a machine translate of the sentence I got something about boomerangs so that’s my conclusion.

  42. So until the end Makoto and Sofia & Mitsurugi played the fool and the goddess played the smart role..
    Makoto lose = Makoto Die = Goddess Win
    Makoto win = Demons are stopped = Goddess Win..

    Author will probably make a chapter where she looks like a “smart” goddess..

  43. Author confirmed for shitty writer.

    The biggest attack Makoto launched so far after leveling up multiple times since he beat the dragon and the spider and some shitty necklace allowed these two allied demon mercenaries to survive almost undamaged when this attack is even more higher level than the one he fired at Mio?

    Guess author won’t let MC manage to kill anyone anymore.

  44. It is as of they are pulling a Shiba Tatsuya on us… Is this another scortched Halloween? hahaha Frozen Seige? maybe since the whole battle was suppose to be the a siege.

  45. Freaking plot device, god damn it, freaking plot device! First those miraculous rings, now this miraculous necklace straight outta a Yu-Gi-Oh! episode!

    This sucks, seriously sucks! How awesome it would have been if Makoto actually killed these two idiots, actually helping hyumans without wanting to, and causing the balance turn in favor of the Bug, again!

    Also this Sofia girl, she is the most stereotypical girl who just happens to be on the level of a hero? WTF?!

    Rant over: but anyway, thanks for the chapter guys, I appreciate it.

  46. (At this day, from the 10 or so that miraculously survived this tragic event, a single rumor was born between the hyumans and demons.

    About a person wearing red garments, the third envoy of the Goddess. It is said that he possesses a tall figure and peerless beauty and his age is that of a young one.) It’s a LIE! Mikoto’s ugly.

      1. Keeping track of map, units, political situation, wonders built.

        Note: Doesn’t help to keep track of “The Devil”!

  47. They can only blame themself for not listening to him and being so stubborn. Though it leaves a kind of bad aftertaste that Makoto ended up helping that bug in the end. :/

    Thanks for the chapters 🙂

    1. I’d say the aftertaste of accidentally helping the mindcontroller and his puppetmaster is worse though. Makoto not only wiped out the demon army, but also the human army of their ally…. who they will probably turn on after they finish off the demons.

  48. Damn that was one slow fall. I mean even if it was super high up. For both sides to have that much time to talk and consider things…

  49. Is there a mistranslation here-> pervert this and pervert that. Seems to be used like over powered or something.

    1. No.. Thats the another meaning of pervert though.. Not because its using the word pervert it would be like a sex maniac or whatever related to sex.. I mean pervert may also means out of the world?? or something like that..

      1. Very late reply, but the original meaning of pervert means outside the norm. It’s also a verb, to pervert something is to change it (usually in a bad way). In like manner, the Japanese word, hentai 変態 can mean metamorphosis, or abnormality as well as pervert, and the base 変 can mean change, (henshin is transform) or strange/odd.

        Pervert isn’t often used that way, but it’s a perfect word to use for something odd or weird.

      2. One definition of pervert is “something outside of the norm.” The Pervert that most people think of is just an individual with sexual desire or fetishes that are out side of the norm.

  50. How tall is Raidou? I always assumed he’s somewhere between 5’7-5’8, average height of a Japanese

  51. I wonder what will be the reaction of the other two “Heros” when they hear about *The Devil*?

  52. Come on if I was the MC i would be researching stuff about magic etc. He has massive amounts of mana but has no way of effectively using it. If he had, these people wouldn’t hold a candle on him.

  53. Welp, Waka-Sama … Those Sofia & Lancer already put you in their KILL LIST (At Least Sofia’s Kill List).

    If you wan’t to reduce Collateral Damage (At least to your people) … You know what to do.

    Your Naiv… Ehem, Inability to adapt might cause second tragedy.

    … Remember the Asora …

  54. Yet another chapter ruined by poor grammar, syntax, use of passive voice, and overall bad quality translation.

  55. What is “presentiment” ? I’m just wondering but does the translator ever put any of the paragraphs through office word? There are so many grammatical errors, I can’t even count them. Like I understand if English isn’t your first language, as the writing level seems to match that, but you do realize that office word is a useful tool to fix mistakes when you use the wrong word, misspell a word, or write a sentence with incorrect grammar. Is office word just not something that can be obtained on someones computer normally? I’m so confused.

    It would take maybe 5 minutes to fix 90% of the errors in these chapters. It sucks because I love the story, but as someone with a moderate understanding of English grammar, constantly having to fix the grammatical mistakes within the writing in my own head is so tiring. I would recommend investing in office word if you don’t have it, for some reason. Its very useful.

    1. Firstly, the text is fine. The syntax is somethings strange-sounding, but that’s just how the story goes, and it’s far from difficult to read. If there are any specific errors, then address that and it can be fixed.

      Secondly, why spend money on Microsoft Word when you can just downloard Grammerly or something.

  56. Yeah, this is awesome, the think of what will happen if Makoto learn to fight is exciting. They saying that he is super beatiful and tall is really irritating, they are searching for a fight huh.
