@Tahu I was getting ready to send a message to the JNC staff that some of the pages didn't download until I realized "that's all folks" for this volume. I'm looking forward to volume four when Sol just says 'f--k it' and has Lu and the Elf Queen destroy the entire world (lol).

And that's another adorkable volume of diabetes down.

V11 came out as part of HJ's April line-up, so probably going to be a bit of a gap before it can prepub.

I want the next book so much.

How many more are out in Japan currently anyway???

@Travis-Butler true but I also don't think Alicia at least will pick up on that unfortunately :s

I'm still rooting for Allucia. She's known him for the longest of any female acquaintances, plus she's secretly admired him for probably the same amount of time. He's better off with her. Unfortunately he's so set in his ways and mind-set that he's probably going to die alone unless he changes.

he also has a affection for more common things (ale, taverns) and there was that waitress a couple volumes back who was making bedroom eyes at him

While Judgement Day currently costs too much mana to be spamable, 50% instant death chance is pretty good (and the heal downside doesn't matter if you use it on something with full hp), and if you find some gear that resists instant death, the full heal side is useable as well. It also might be guaranteed death when used on undead enemies, if the kill effect works and the full heal is reversed (and such an interaction would befit a pope).

@Outinthegardener
You missed the setup for them finding each other in their next lives?

wide eyes

@Rahul-Balaggan I know it hasn't been that long but did anything come out of that investigation? Or I guess I should ask if there is anything that can be disclosed?

Just finished reading the volume...man, the battle of the Twin Blades was good, but the first part was atrocious.

Guys, the novel gets a manga adaption, I still can‘t believe it!

The art looks so pretty~!!!

That was some nice background of Shumaril and Vina, and of course, the time when Asuta caught thr sickness. I like these filler sections. They kinda bring everything together.

Finally catching up, and Part 10 hits me with a gotdang Simpsons reference.

And nobody in here thought to mention it. For shame.

@HarmlessDave Well that is good to know. I have heard it has to pay new license fees for any volumes not bundled with the original. IE ones that get published after the agreements on the earlier material is made. So I had thought there are chances that low selling series might not get new volumes when they come out later.

Good I know I was wrong. That is rather generous of J-Novel Club. Its been quite a nice business to get e-books and physical books from.

@Whacka XD they even made sure to spread it around so he cant even deny it!

@El-Pampel You mean like a manga and anime? I think the manga passed the novels at volume 9, and who knows how much the anime will cover. And the anime is actually licensed and airing this season.... (though like the manga the adaptation might diverge from the novels in ways big and small)

Gonna keep it real. This series has just gotten more boring with each new chapter since he went Lvl1 Fighter. I had to fight to finish this volume.

Count Lubhuta, from Furla’s perspective: v3p4: His massive body looked soft and flabby from the excess fat, while his unseemly face was beet red. His sinister, small, sluglike eyes kept darting around.

Count Lubhuta -> Lu bhuta -> bhuta -> buta -> pig

If only more butas could be like the suave one in Kurenai no Buta: Porco.

I’ll assume that the wedding accessory that Agnes and her husband brought back from Hihime was Sonia.

@Hylebos thanks. You're the best.

@b-scot-morgan yeah I thought the same. Looking at the colour images in the epub it seems that they only have a resolution of 387x543 or 631x456 so hopefully it's just a mistake from when the epubs were created and will be fixed. I have sent an email to j-novel club support about it.

Another great volume with great fights. Glad to see how the series continues after the manga.
