Tsuki – Chapter 348: Flood and Collapse

“[Hundred Injustices]!” 

“[Zodiac Spell: Aquarius]!” 

They acted fast.

It is only the second shot; it is already the second shot.

That difference in perspective is also proof that they are professionals.

Right after Hazal and Ranina activated their Skills, a flash of light pierced them.

It can’t even be called fast.

The moment the spell was shot from her staff after a short aria, it hit everyone of Alpine as if laughing at their defenses and evasions.

“So easy. For all that barking, this is quite the cute display, Toa -Alpine.” 

“! A barrage is coming! Hazal, leave the support and interruptions for later, just don’t let up on the healing!” (Toa)

Toa gives out short orders.

They are by the side of the Golden Highway.

Alpine left the city where they made contact with the Goddess’s Apostle, Alte Barrette, and entered the Golden Highway.

Toa thought that Alte would be attacking them in around 5 minutes, so she was relieved at that moment.

That must have been similar for the other members. 

But the attack happened. 

Someone had attacked Toa’s group while they were advancing through the Golden Highway.

The moment they passed by a caravan that sold regular daily goods, an ear-piercing sound of a flute resonated.

Toa’s group instantly took battle stances and fought back the assassins that were disguised as a caravan, but a follow up group rammed right through the outer wall of the Golden Highway immediately after, driving them away from the Golden Highway.

After finishing off two more attackers, only Alte remained, but the ones getting cornered were actually Alpine.

“Louisa!” 

“No good! I can’t interrupt her aria! She is protecting herself with something!” (Louisa)

“The power of adventurers; all sturdy, and truly ugly. [Lightning Tree].” (Alte)

The light shot from Alte’s staff once again branches and accurately pierces all of Toa’s party. 

Three area of effect spells that hit everyone directly; the damage was high.

Coupled with the fact that they have fought several battles before this one, the party of Toa was breathing heavily, their movements dulled, and it couldn’t be helped that the backliner Louisa would fall on her knees from the accumulated damage.

“Geez, you’ve got quite the nice personality there. Even though you can use such outrageous spells, you didn’t show up until after the wave attack.” (Louisa)

“I don’t know much about this stuff, so I want to confirm here. What…was that? The barrier of Hazal was so useless it was like paper.” (Ranina) 

“The reason why she is attacking us in such a dirty manner…isn’t it because you provoked her a whole lot, Toa? Also, Ranina, you ‘don’t know about this stuff’? That’s probably lightning, you know.” (Hazal)

“You also provoked her quite a lot, Hazal… Also, what’s this about lightning? The thing that shines at times in the sky?” (Toa)

“Don’t make fun of me, Hazal. I have never heard of a lightning element.” (Ranina)

Toa and Ranina tried to maintain their pace with light talk, and Hazal responded to it.

“…There’s no records or books regarding the lightning element even in Rotsgard and the Academy. If she really is an Apostle of the Goddess, well, it is not that impossible of a story.” (Hazal)

“I have lived for a decent amount of time, and I do have to say that I haven’t heard about it before. An elemental magic that surpasses any of our spells thoroughly like this…” (Louisa)

Louisa stands up and once again glares at Alte.

Healing Skills and magic; she can use both of those at a high level of skill within the Alpine party.

Therefore, unless you kill them in one hit, it is difficult to defeat Alpine in the field. 

It may sound plain, but in terms of readjusting and successive battles, Toa’s party is the top of the top.

However…you couldn’t really say that it is an accurate evaluation in their current state.

Alpine has already reached the state of maturity, but everyone has completely changed their Job.

New powers, new characteristics; there were a lot of new paths now available for them. 

“There is a joke-like element like that. Isn’t that right, Alte? Do all Apostles of the Goddess use lightning? Is it the type of supreme element that can only be heard of in legends…and it is a cheat ability that wins against all elements?” (Hazal)

“It is supreme. It is not cheating. There’s no trick or mechanism. My lightning, Kandachi, pierces through everything and makes them kneel.” (Alte)

“Even though it is magic, it has a special characteristic against magic power, huh. It destroys all other spells; an unavoidable blade that reaches the enemy with no obstruction. And here I was wondering how much of that was true… This is troubling. I didn’t know about the Kandachi name at all though.” (Hazal)

“I shall answer you as an offering to the soon-to-be-deceased, Hazal. All Apostles can use lightning. Though there’s only two existing Apostles in the current era. This is unpleasant, but there’s no one aside from us who would be able to wipe out your so-called Alpine party. I have to acknowledge that. You have been hit three times by my spell, yet you can still speak.” (Alte)

“We are adventurers after all. Even if magic doesn’t work, we have Skills.” (Hazal)

Hazal was being wary of a second shot as he quickly utilized a Star Skill that is connected with his new Job.

One of the many Skills that are in the system called Zodiac.

The unfamiliar term of Constellations had a number of extraordinary Skills. 

He doesn’t know that they originate from a different world and a different sky, denoting stories he is not aware of.

Aquarius’s effect is regeneration.

The Quaker Skill that Ranina used at that same time was Hundred Injustices. 

Mitigates the pain of the party, and maintains the willpower and vitality high. 

Both of them are not spells, so even when it was hit by the lightning element spell that rules and overpowers other spells, they still maintained their effectiveness.

Healing injuries with healing magic, and maintaining high willpower and vitality while fighting so as to not lose the will to live; those are the basics of Toa’s party for survival.

“Skills… that imitation power. The gift of the Goddess to people was magic. Even though the technique of forming something from the magic power within you is what hyumans should be truly polishing.” (Alte)

It is as if Alte isn’t doubting her victory at all, and her words held conviction. 

And in reality, magic attacks aren’t reaching her.

It feels as if she already has her next round ready, and if they were to attack, it would just be intercepted with that lightning element. 

Her ability to properly utilize both of its strengths by shooting down the attacks of the opponents makes her an annoying opponent.

Toa was thinking about aiming for the time when Alte runs out of magic power, she looked at Louisa, but she shook her head to the sides.

It seems the magic power of Alte is abundant, or maybe the lightning element is also supreme in its cost. 

However, Toa still found a path for victory -a path for survival in the words of Alte.

(She is indeed strong. But…that’s not it. Alte is arrogant. If this were not Alte but that person…we would all be dead by now. It is because of how excelling she is that if we were to manage to make that crumble, we might have a chance, but…the gamble is way too risky to take. If we can’t take her down for certain, we shouldn’t take that chance away from others. That’s why we won’t make her trip. We are just going to set it up here, and escape.) (Toa)

There’s a number of uncertainties in escape as well. 

She attacked them at the Golden Highway without a care in the world, so there’s absolutely no place for respite until they return to Tsige.

But they are Alpine.

Powerhouses that have managed to return alive after exploring the wasteland for 2 and even 3 weeks. 

The mouth of Toa warped into a smile.

“I see. That’s why you don’t like adventurers? You are an unexpectedly easy to understand person.” (Toa)

Having seen that smile, Hazal felt relief flow from his whole body. 

Their leader who is still thinking about what to do and seems to have come up with something.

It hasn’t been long since she got the unknown Job of Tobikato, so her ability within the party is still weak like that of a cocoon that has yet to be shed. 

With the enemy bringing out legendary stuff like the lightning element, even Hazal would feel danger.

Or rather, he is panicking a whole lot internally. 

Even so, in order to survive, in order to have everyone return, he tries to buy time for this plan of hers.

“The Adventurer Guild is simply a caprice of a dragon after all.” (Alte)

“That’s not true! You are simply scared of your advantage not working against adventurers. It seems like you can’t erase Skills after all. No matter how strong you are against magic, if your surroundings were to all use only Skills, it would be pointless. If hyumans were completely magic dependent, I believe it would be quite the comfortable world for you.” (Hazal)

Toa was using thought transmission to tell Hazal, Louisa, and Ranina her plan. 

“You really…are one irritating man, Hazal. Aah…right. Not only did you grow impudent through the elixir that you made by luck, you had terrible experiences with women, and ended up landing in Tsige. That elixir, craquante, fetches a decent price, but it is in a position that’s not really that rare. However, when it comes to women, you were scorned, and you ended up not trusting them… How pitiful.” (Alte)

“?!” 

The past that not many people should know had come out from the mouth of Alte, and it made Hazal falter.

The result of trying to invite the anger of Alte and disturb her mind ended up rebounding on him.

“Everyone has their dark past.” 

“That he managed to make one even if by luck is still amazing.” 

“He can be decently considerate.” 

Follow-ups from his comrades came out as his mind was wavering and groaning from the mental damage. 

Well, if he were a man that can’t handle the presence of women, he wouldn’t be in a party with three women.

Just like Makoto had pointed out before, Hazal is unexpectedly a guy that has the traits of a main character.

At any rate, thanks to his sacrifice, Toa managed to relay the details of the plan to everyone in the party.

It was the time to act.

“Damn it!! Clawing at the old wounds of others! Take this! [Blizzard Whiteout]!” (Hazal)

Hazal showed a desperate demeanor and shouted the name of his spell as if dealing a preemptive attack.

Suddenly a white tornado began to rampage around Alte.

“This is stupid. A spell of this level is just…?!” (Alte)

She swung her arm once, and tried to erase the annoying blizzard.

But the blizzard doesn’t disappear.

“[True Axe Split]!” (Ranina)

“[Chronos Feeling]!” (Louisa)

Ranina and Louisa’s Skills also activate.

The ground Alte was standing on suddenly split and shakes powerfully. 

“There’s no power in it! An illusion?! The shaking is a Skill… Useless struggle! [Lightning Tree]!!” (Alte)

Right, the spell activation of Hazal was a fake.

In reality, he simply gathered magic power and activated a magic tool that has a healing effect.

There was also one other Skill activation.

But Alte doesn’t know the effect of that one well.

However, the spell she used definitely dealt damage to everyone in Alpine.

Their movements should have stopped and the illusion should dissipate soon.

The raging snow covering her whole vision disappeared, and the shaking was just in a designated area. 

She jumped out of it with deftness unbelievable of a mage, and she got out from the shaking and the cracks.

“Wa?! They are gone?!” (Alte)

Alpine is not in front of her.

There’s no one.

Even when looking around, there’s no signs of anyone.

“Impossible.” (Alte)

But Alte has the certain-hit lightning.

No matter where they hide, as long as they have already been hit, it won’t miss if they are nearby. 

She immediately suppressed her surprise, and began to chant her aria for a certain strike.

“[Swallow in Flight] Overlap!” 

“?!” 

The sudden presence made Alte take a defensive stance. 

Toa hits twice consecutively at close range.

A high power attack that comes from the swings of two daggers that are from a Wise and a Superior Dragon.

The staff that’s most likely quite the fine product was unable to endure it…and broke.

“Eh?!” (Alte)

The disposition of Alte immediately changed.

She looks at Toa with clear bloodlust.

Her reaction was fast, and it was clearly different from the patterns until now.

“You damn hyuman!” (Alte)

“Don’t go floundering now!” (Toa)

“[Lightning Clad]!” (Alte)

Toa released an attack that solely relied on physical prowess instead of a Skill.

At close range, at a distance that’s clearly that of a warrior.

Rather than using a Skill at this moment where it would be creating an opening from the activation, she decided to deal damage for certain.

But that lightning fast attack was unbelievably stopped by Alte grabbing her arm. 

“You are one jack-in-the-box.” (Toa)

“Blow up.” (Alte)

“Just kidding!” (Toa)

Toa makes a follow up attack with the hand that isn’t being grabbed and has the Doma dagger. 

“Lightning Cannon.” (Alte)

“Guh!! This is nothing…!!” (Toa)

And this time around, Alte shot a powerful and thick lightning that didn’t branch like the ones before. Toa forcefully twisted her body to avoid the attack, and had her whole arm blown away by that attack, Alte laughed, and Toa obtained freedom with her arm as the price. 

She grabbed the Lapis dagger that was about to fall to the ground with her mouth, dashed at Alte, and attacked her side with the dagger that’s still in her safe hand, dealing a consecutive attack on her again.

“You…!!” (Alte)

Blood spurts out from the side of Alte, and Toa goes into flight mode just like that.

Blood entered her eyes, moreover, the fact that Toa immediately took the action of reinitiating the close combat, and then going right into escaping after, created an opening in the decision making of Alte. 

That decided the battle here.

“[Lightning Tree]! [Lightning Tree]! …Guh…Toa, adventurers…those pieces of trash!!” (Alte)

Alte, who forgot for an instant about the absence of Toa’s party members, returned to her senses and shot an all-out attack with her lightning.

But the branched lightning didn’t pierce anybody.

Even when she repeated it, it was the same result. 

They escaped.

That reality dyed Alte in rage.

In her mind, the fight against the peak of the Superior Dragon and the Adventurer of Origin surfaced in her mind.

(That was certainly a fight brought upon by my overconfidence. Opponents I shouldn’t have fought against without gathering information. But this time was different! My wounds of that time may not be healed yet, but they were clearly the weaker ones, mere hyuman adventurers! Me, a Goddess’s Apostle, is lacking in knowledge? The staff may not have been suitable for battle, but even that staff I was given for commemoration was broken… I will definitely not forget this…Tsige….!) (Alte)

Even if she were to try and chase them, there’s several possible candidates.

One of the homelands of the party members, or Tsige.

Checking all those possibilities when a big battle is approaching wouldn’t be a good plan.

If they at least returned to Tsige, she could burn them together with the city.

Alte pledged in her heart.

That Alte received a report at that very same night about a massive defense wall that suddenly appeared in the plains, and she screamed in anger.

    1. Wow, great chapter!
      1- So lightning is that powerful? I wonder why? Also, remember that Makoto can baaaaarely use it as well!

      2- Hahaha, that Alte’s anger is fun to see!

      3- Great job Toa! Great job, Alpine!

      1. Damn Alte Barrette is just as arrogant and dumb as the Bug I hope her partner is more competent and smarter than her just so it could balance the stupid decision of this Bug with her choice of apostles. Actually, now that I think of it this is pretty much the same as the heroes one’s a dumb arrogant power-hungry easily manipulated horny piece of trash, and the other is an intelligent, multi-talented, and effective/manipulative leader for the kingdom….but she’s still a bitch.

    1. If they are powerful and smart enough while their enemy is dumb from overconfidence. Then they stand a chance. But if the enemy is too OP lets say like Tomoe well they will die.

        1. Most probably yes.
          But again i did say if their opponent is AS strong as Tomoe then its GG.
          If not it’s still doable as you said it’s possible that they are just Hyumans that have a special “Title”. Could still be a race with human looks.

  2. So this was a time skip to explain what adventurers were doing from the beginning chapters of the arc. I guess we should be provided some Makoto time now and see the apostle overwhelmed.

      1. quite literally.His archery can literally turn him into a god if he does it often.
        Makoto is OP,, but not to the point where the fights get boring since he’s still mortal.

      1. He has Shiki and mio so it’s fine. Though truly do hope he finally masters Mio’s healing ability for himself though.

    1. An arm is but a simple matter for the kuzunoha~
      when shiki can regenerate someone from just the head, and tomoe can recuscitate someone who has become blood splatters xDDD

  3. its no that i don’t enjoy building up excitement but this is getting ridiculous we are 48 chapters into a new arc after a long hiatus and is still going at snail pace and I not even including the extra chapters. don’t get me wrong this was one of the more awesome chapters, is great to see toa and crew in action with the new jobs and skills but is also kind of disappointing that the actions of toa party are more relevant that what makoto did in the whole arc. I let the chapters pile up to binge read hoping to get some plot development but is still dragging, well the plot is developing is just that my grandma is going faster

    1. Time to just let another 25-50 chapters sit then…THEN marathon/binge read them once more.

      We could always wait for 100… my read list is long enough that I probably wouldn’t notice… (including j-novel.club, LONGER!)

      1. Feels like proper summon of Tamaki will be when Makoto snaps and fights. “Fight evil with evil”, so to say

      2. She won’t be coming out anytime soon especially when she received permission to show up at Mist Town. Someone managing the Mist Town is a subordinate of Raidou, they will validate the rumors of Kuzunoha being a company of the Mist Town.

  4. apostle vs alpine: win in the fight lose at the total result Aion vs Tsige: Fall of the country’s economy and sunomata castle was built with one night Alte and Aion have lost the fight before touching the starting line and unite so only Raidou can stop the madness over wanting to win.

  5. I see the Apostles of Bug are just as stupid and incompetent as she is. Alte Barrette decides to ambush Toa’s party in a stupid location: the Golden Highway. Y’know the route that’s just a bunch of teleportation circles that a party can easily use to escape if they get an opening? And the ambushers didn’t even attempt to destroy the circles to cut off their escape routes or at least have people guard them so people don’t use them. Meanwhile Alte knows that she can’t nullify skills and that she should be cautious of adventurers using them especially high level ones like Toa’s party yet she acts all arrogant before immediately reacting like she’s completely unprepared when she starts fighting them. Then she goes ahead and tells Toa’s party that all Apostles can use lightning and that there are only two Apostles in this era which makes it sound like they can’t bring in more as reinforcements so all they gotta do is kill off just two and they’ll no longer need to worry about Apostles. And finally Alte let’s Toa’s party escape with that information and they could tell the Adventurer Guild about what happened because Alte was too stupid to not at least try to disguise herself even though she knows she can’t deal with the guild if they do something. I mean sure both sides knew Yue was just a fake name for the Apostle but if she had disguised herself then she could just continue to deny she did anything and maybe even turn the tables on the guild but since she didn’t then the guild can easily use what she did as an excuse to act against her and the Aion kingdom.

    I do hope Toa can get her arm regenerated. Either way Alte has probably just pissed off a bunch of powerhouses by taking Toa’s arm. Root, Aznoval, Rokuya, Tomoe and Makoto all are looking out for Toa for one reason or another so Alte is probably super fucked.

    1. Shiki can can use is specialty healing from his 13 step 5th step (Keto,silver arm ,airgetlam), which regenerated the torso of a (Dio) and Mio has good healing abilities as well. So a arm is no problem.

      PS Tomoe can bring the dead back from just blood. So she good.

    2. Right? Let me add to that the moment when Alte first appeared: she didn’t even want to reveal her name, now she talks about their numbers and powers? That’s a load of conceit right there!

    3. Also it should be noted that the apostle knows of there connection to makoto yet still attacks them which makoto can now use that as an excuse to break his deal with the goddess since she or at least her subordinate broke the deal first. And If y’all don’t know what the deal was it was both makoto and the goddess agreeing not to interfere or antagonize the other (in other words makoto doesn’t harm hyumans or kills the hero’s and the goddess doesn’t attack or interfere with makoto and his subordinates which let’s be honest toa and her party fit the bill of being his subordinates) so yeah goddess technically broke their deal first.

    4. I think Hazel can do that now since he has Aquarius qhich is for regeneration. It may take a while since he is definitely not as powerful as Mio or competent as Shiki.

  6. This chapter was delightful. Getting a chance to see how Alpine fights and copes with someone in their class or a little bit more power than them. So, I take it she doesn’t know who their teacher is? This could turn into a serious war, Mio and Tomo get involved that Apostle is burnt toast.

  7. Like Bug, like disciple, neither of them does much thinking. If she was smart, she would have either just walked away or set a tail on them for later action, but no, she had to go full-out mental case and try to kill them… and even failed! Even if Alpine had truly been intending to remain neutral before, they’re muuuuuch more likely to get involved on Tsige’s side now.

    Not to mention, they now have plenty of data on how Alte fights which is going to give Makoto plenty of time to prepare countermeasures. Go Team Tsige!

    Thanks for the release!

  8. Thank for the translation reigokai.

    This apostle, really acts like the goddess…

    However, I am really interested to find out how Makoto will match up against this Alte.

    Based on the prev chapters, we know that Makoto’s strength is based on his large reservoir of mana and that physical strength due to him being transferred from earth.
    So, technically, his prima mana body is kinda like a “magic” in its suspended state, or before-completion-magic…

    So, I do wonder if Makoto will hav easy time with this Alte…

    1. I think makoto can’t lvl up for his big pool of mana, as asora told him before, he can’t get any debuff as poison, sleep, tree debuff of forest’s oni for that. So maybe the status of “adventure” is as a debuff or something as that and can’t afect Makoto because he repells it. Srry my english is bad xD

    2. Alte can erase magic, I bet she cant erase Makoto’s since he got bigger mana pool. Like that thing when a glass of water (Alte’s) is poured on an ocean (Makoto’s). Makoto doesnt need those Skills anyways, he can battle Athena and trample the yokai Samal just fine without them~

      1. Didn’t someone tell him not to forgo Skills? Yes he has ridiculous amounts of Magic and has fought Athena to a “draw” but he needs more Trump Cards. I think that if Makoto can use Magic, Skills and the OP titles that he has, he could beat the Bug into submission without any of his subordinates dying and him getting permanent damage. Though I think that Makoto is going to end up becoming a minor deity by the time he fights the bug

      2. His new archery skill that brake trough the space
        sekai where ceratę various efect
        Magic armor
        He have the strongest skills so theres no need to rise level and adventurer status because its orginaly for week to help servive monster atacks and etc

        The same situation is with tomoe and mio

  9. Thanks for the chapter.

    Oh poor baby Apostle. Did wittle gewl got hewt? Don’t worry it’ll be over. Soon. When you get to Tsige.

  10. Wow, if Toa party can lead her by nose like this, she’s just a baby compare to Tomoe or Mio. I feel like even Shiki who usually rely on his magic can deal with her somehow.

  11. Se presento antes el elemento rayo? Si puede haber elementos como la luna que uso makoto y el rayo, puede haber muchos otros. Espero que toa desbloeé el elemento metal o las ilusiones de tomoe.

  12. I always feel very happy when a plan comes together in fiction. Toa’s party has had some exciting adventures for sure. They’ve grown more than the story cared to show, really. It’s also satisfying to see the Bug’s associates get mad for getting outplayed constantly.
    Thank you very much for that chapter, it brightened my day.

  13. Much information in a single chapter.

    There are only two apostle with an element superior to the others. Are these apostles the most loved by the goddess who said root? (In the academy city arch.)

    Wow Toa and her team, I thought they were at the level of lime and levi but it seems that they are beyond. Perhaps they can hunt higher dragons easily.

    The importance of skills are emerging. is another power up coming for Makoto?

    It would be very ironic, that thousands of hyumans to meet this apostle almost as stupid as Tomoki. They decide to abandon the goddess and join Makoto.

    1. No Lime is stronger,he was the top adventure back when Tsige was struggling. Before Tomoe and Mio departed there wisdom. Not sure how this job plus skill thing works since it barely showed up in the story. But I believe has not updated his adventure card if he did he would definetly be stronger. Not saying he isn’t now but it would have been shown.

      1. I agree, Lime is stronger Then Alpine. I think Lime is strong enough to fight IO on his own and best him. Alpine needs to fight in a group and I dont think they could win, maybe draw.

        1. Yeah because Makoto’s circle unconsciously iqnore the skills system for various reasons, (mainly because Makoto can’t use it). Lime has not updated is job so we do not know how strong he is as a adventurer. But he is definetly stronger.

        2. I really hope Tomoe and Mio, start using the skill system. I really want to see their jobs. Especially right now with the apostle I hope to see the same with Shiki and the rest of Asora.

  14. Thanks for the update,

    I thought makoto will deal with these apostles, but it looks like Alphine can manage it lol,

    Maybe makoto’s students will give these apostles a fight too.

    It’s been long since makoto’s fight, the hype from Lorel’s arc is still there.

      1. Not yet, until next arc at least.
        I thought Tomoe will be one to do it, so Alte would go to Hibiki. To prevent Hibiki turning into martyr for hyumans, which doesn’t deserve it.

  15. Thanks for the chapter Regokai. I really want another chap though.

    Man the evaluation I gave Alte fell to shit from her speech and conduct I can see why she is the goddess’s apostle. Truly arrogant and disgusting even looking on the humans themselves. Honestly I got no hope for anybody deeply connected with the goddess and her teaching’s.

  16. Damn alte is just like the copy of the bug goddess. “the goddess gave u all hyumans magic so u should only hone that inside of u”- i loved how toa countered her bitching. proves that the goddess just wanted all of them to remain weak and rely upon her strength all the time as well as being able to eliminate any danger if she faces any easily. Anyway i can see makoto possibly having some difficulty in his fight against the apostle since magic doesnt work on her and he cant use skills.

  17. I just wonder what would happen if this Alte person met a user of the demons’ anti-goddess-blessing ring? Especially someone with the Gen2 or Gen3 version. Would she be simply slapped silly?

  18. I wonder what could happen, if Makoto would reveal existence of other elements(other than 4 everyone on Bugworld knows) to Priestess or in Academy.
    It could get very interesting, especially when his students/pupils/pets will learn to use these as well.

    Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Light, Dark, Sun, Moon.
    8 elements = 8 superior dragons.

  19. burn Tsige ?? bitch please !! the moment she try that will be the moment where she got INSTA-SNIPED to oblivion

  20. Lightning is an unheard of element? Weird… the wizard in Ragnarok Online (the game heavily implied to be the base of Origins and The guild system has those element as a staple skills. Then again that game also weirdly classify those spells as wind element.

  21. She was planning to attack Tsige along with the Alpine.
    I hope she really do research first, because a life higher than her lives there and can whoop her to the sky…
    Ooooopppps….
    I remember when Makoto attack Root the last time, it is due to Magic Hand.
    Im thinking if Makoto will slap her butt instead…

  22. Thanks for the chapter.
    Seeing Alte being squashed like a bug by Makoto will be a delectable pleasure.

  23. Thanks for the chapter!!
    I have a question, is Toa’s group overrated or is the apostle slightly underrated? Alte still stood up to Azu san and Root and came out almost victorious…

    Makoto is a boss, he masters lightning!!

    1. Almost victorious? Heck no she was beaten up to a pulp by Aznoval and Root you can tell cuz she’s still suffering from wounds from that battle and when Aznoval came back to fight against Makoto he was perfectly fine and didn’t even mention the fight he had with the apostle a couple of hours ago before arriving meaning she was just too weak to leave an impression on him.

    2. Alte is just not an experienced fighter. She is too used to overwhelming her opponent and her lighting killing without much effort. Alpine is strong enough and has enough experience to defend themselves and do some damage and get away from her.

  24. I like toa’s ninja power up but think of how op hazel would be if he talked to makoto about the zodiac and he learned in depth about each one. He could be a one man army with attack skills like sure hit long range and close range, defense skills, healing, and support skills.

  25. Gracias Tío Reigokai.

    Cero y van dos, Alte… apóstol incompetente.

    Ahora, que el rayo sea un elemento raro solo lo veo como un nuevo camino por el cual Makoto camine y luego enseñe a otros a caminar.

    Me dolió leer que el escape le costara un brazo a Toa. Espero que no sea una cicatriz permanente, y si lo es, que sea un detonante para la Ira Santa de Makoto al ver como le maltrataron a una favorita suya que le recuerda a una waifu tan preciada. Los ultimos que padecieron esa ira aunque indirectamente fueron los infortunados habitantes de Zetsuya.

    Thanks you, Uncle Reigokai…

    0-2 you losing, Alte … incompetent apostle.

    Now that lightning is a rare item I only see it as a new path for Makoto to walk on and then teach others to walk.

    It pained me to read that the escape cost Toa an arm. I hope it is not a permanent scar, and if it is, that it is a trigger for Makoto’s Holy Wrath to see how she mistreated a favorite of his that reminds him of such a precious friend. The last to suffer that anger, although indirectly, were the unfortunate Zetsuya’s population.

  26. thanks for chap
    finally the story is picking up pace.
    What can be gathered from this chap:
    1.only 2 apostles exist,this lady and someone from hibiki’s party(my guess is the mage woody)
    2.the apostles aren’t hyuman and treat them as lower lifeforms that they should be able to do with as they please
    3.they got the lightning element from the goddess so her element is lightning(like mc’s is moon),as this gods are based on mythology ,does any lightning goddess come to mind?do comment if u get any(all the ones i know are male)
    4.the apostles seem to have followers of their own,including ceremonies etc.

    1. Wait why woody??

      He’s weak yknow?? He got almost killed and most of all, but i agree that it might be in the limia residing, one of the apostle that is

    2. in exstra tsuki ga yamaraja in Hinduism it is a man but when Susanoo calls yama with the suffix ‘chan’ which means woman then it is not strange if there is an element of lightning with mystical character which we know can be turned into a woman

    3. 1- Woody is “Limia’s moving battery”. Prince(ss) Joshua most likely mentions the Apostle when talking to her Brother Bredda, saying there is already a replacement to him. So I guess that other apostle is a frontliner like him;

      2 / 3- Hmmm, I don’t think so. Long ago, talking to Tomoe is Rotsgard, Root refered to them as “Imadai, a lineage of Hyumans capable of using an element the Goddess can’t”.

  27. So the element was that huh, I want to know is true characterist, I mean, obviously isn’t a supreme element, I also want to know between that and moon. I think the fight with Makoto should be pretty interesting, I want to see it.

  28. Holy shit, i thought lightning was a normal element, so that’s why it never appeared other than in the first few chapter when Makoto learned magic

  29. Now i get why someone thought that the Apostles were a bad match against Makoto. Lightning element: an element that can destroy magic attacks and pass through magic defenses sure sounds dangerous against a mage.

    But that same someone misunderstood something: Makoto isn’t a mage, he is an archer.

  30. Lightning? Superior? Seriously? Ahahahahahahahha. Makoto’s just gonna dig a hole in the ground for grounding or create a lightning rod while at it.

    1. Yeah. Stuff of Leyends my ass. That’s just like knowing how to make a sandwich and suddenly saying you are a Master Chef.
      Makoto can use that stuff better than her while sleeping.

    1. Most likely Azu and that pervert Root toyed with her until they got bored and Azu had to go back as Makoto & Co. were thrashing his Guild Members… so maybe she used that to get away.

      1. I don’t wanna imagine how root toyed with her… Now I feel a tinge of pity for her… But we’ll since she’s with the bug that pity can turn into absolute disgust while I’m at it

    1. There is 4 primary element water earth wind and fire. There is also darkness and I think the 6th one would be light. Only 6 element in the LN.

      1. It was mentioned dark element has a high affinity in him. But he doesn’t train it for some reason.

  31. Alte received a report at that very same night about a massive defense wall that suddenly appeared in the plains, and she screamed in anger…XD
    haha they build it in time.

  32. This apostle reminds me again of arifureta with “lightning clad”.
    Tht aside i expected more from someone who fought root and aznoval and still survived lmao.

  33. Isn’t lightning branch element from wind? And what supperior element my ass!! that makoto have all thoose on birth¯_(ツ)_/¯. I want to see him make magic armor dug to earth and become lightning rod🤣

  34. Wait… isn’t this Apostle in violation of the Goddesses promise to not interfere with Makoto? Couldn’t he use this as a excuse to not only kill the Apostles but even kill Tomoki? She broke her promise first, the deal is void. Next, maybe even the other gods will step in for Makoto.

  35. Nice, they made the apostle hate Tsige^^ Also, that Element, isn’t that what Makoto used like two times or so? I only remember him using Fire, Water and Darkness really. So he had a OP element all this time?

    1. It’s so weak he can barely produce sparks so no he can’t use lightning for combat purposes and he eventually forgot about it since his interest quickly shifted.

  36. Seeing Alte mention that she received her staff as a comemmoration makes me question… Comemmoration for what? And who gave her?

      1. Thats the question, from whom? It could be either thise two you mention or even another party not shown until now.

        But i highly doubt it came from ghe Elysium church.

        1. Bug probably but it could also be a weapon made specifically for her by some craftsman from thousands of years ago(probably an elder dwarf)

  37. They were playing with her. If Root and Aznoval had truly wanted to kill her she would have been dead 10 different times through their first conversation. Instead they gave her a warning.

  38. Exactly! If they had wanted, Alte would have been nothing more than a smear on the ground when they finished with her.
