Chapter 401.2: Strange Freak Wants to Retire

Chapter 401.2: Strange Freak Wants to Retire

“Sorry, Kryhi, but I have my goals. Since I helped you, you will have to accompany me.” (Cry)

“Yeah, of course! Mechanized soldiers are perfect for trying out all sorts of things. I think there’s still room for my lightning to evolve, so I’d be happy to help you with your work, however little I can!” (Kryhi)

Cheerfully answers Kryhi Andrichhi, the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》. This man...... Is he still planning to evolve more? Moreover, even though I asked him for a favor, he would happily help me without even asking me what it was――.

Kool and the others have smiles on their faces, but their eyes aren’t smiling. As for Elise, her eyes completely look the other way. I am sure he had helped people here and there with a similar level of enthusiasm, which led him to attack Code as well.

Now, although I said I would ask for his cooperation, I wonder what I should make him do...... If I ask him to do something reckless, it will probably lead to a terrible situation.

To start with, I sit down in a chair, cross my hands, put on a badass smile, and say something random.

“Fuuuh...... Things are finally getting a little interesting!” (Cry)

Kaiser, Saya, we are all set here. Please join us quickly.

“The 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》...... I never thought he would be able to fight to this extent within Code.” (Angus)

I, Angus Code, sigh as I review the details of the war that had broken out in the prison.

I manipulated the prison’s military forces by rewriting the rules. The operation went according to my strategy.

The timing of rewriting the rule was near perfect, and Nora changing it back was unexpected but still within the tolerable margin. It was surprising that Nora would give up on the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》, but oh well.

The only thing that had completely exceeded my expectations was――The power of the 《Lightning Emperor (Raitei)》.

Magic structures within Code are disrupted. In particular, offensive Magic has little effect as it is dismantled by the city the moment it is released.

To think that he would bypass it with such a method――Indeed, Code’s system can dismantle Magic, but it cannot dismantle the lightning that is generated. To think that he could repel the prison’s weapons so easily......

However, there is no way that Code would just leave it alone after knowing his own weakness. In the first place, the current mechanized soldiers can deal with a certain amount of lightning without any problems. If a lightning user with a higher level of power than expected appeared, it is simply just a matter of strengthening its countermeasures.

So they skipped the 1st wolf fight... Bummer I wanted to see the Yami Nabe Party cooperation fight (Went to check in the manga and novel but it also skipped the fight, so it wasn’t cut content) Level 8 Divine Strategy (Shinsan Kibou), everything is according to (Cry’s) keikaku! I was thinking what kind of Relic Tino would have when she said to not count on Relic, but then I remembered what happened a few novels down the line XD

That Doppler Cry yell and the fact that Cry said that Tino can use the other as shields when she just said that she wouldn’t XD

Oh okay they did make the Phantom disappear immediately after dying... Wait the “blood” is blue!? Is it Mana Material or censure...? Yoooo! Master~ wa kami! And in the background, you have the other still fighting XD

It is true that Gilbert’s flashback helps to understand his character growth, but I am like meh I don’t really care about that guy. When we got the wolf closeup, did anyone think that the wolf would counterattack Gilbert after being cut? The music and the mood were perfect to have Gilbert die after realizing that having companions is nice. Same comment as Gilbert’s flashback for Greg’s flashback.

In another timeline, Greg stagnates as a Level 4 Hunter forever, Gilbert goes Solo and maybe dies and Ruda joins some unknown Party and will never level up. Yo, never thought we would get another Master~ wa kami!

Lol Ruda got picked because of her boobs XD 4 Barrier rings used during the flight

Tino got some amazingly cool evasion shots during the fight! And Ruda, why do you think she isn’t afraid of it? It’s because she spars with something even scarier than a mere Phantom.

Ok, there is blood, so blue blood is Mana Material blood. Oh, I just understood why Tino put the ring on her pinky. It’s because Cry put the ring on his pinky when he had it. Always thought that it was weird why Tino put it there.

Human missile to the rescue! And that cloak flips, so badaaaass! Too bad they didn’t emphasize the wolf being unharmed by making a cartoony look or face. But it is funny how afraid they are of Sytry’s Slime

Wait whaaat we also get a Tino flashback!? We are eating good! Damn that Strange Grief theme song coming back, so badaaaaass! The day when City Girl Tino learned about Strange Grief and join the Master~ wa kami cult Haha the sweet voice Tino made to appeal to Cry

Oh, I finally understand what they are doing in the next episode preview, they are rapping Let’s go, we have 1st view of Liz in the preview!

TL;DR A nice episode before the climax of the 1st Arc.

The fight wasn’t crazy but we got character growth for Gilbert and the explanation of Cry’s choice of the Yami Nabe Party. Love the Strange Grief and Tino flashback, the Strange Grief theme song popping during the flashback is reaaaally good.

So with this episode, it is kind of confirmed that we are going to have 3 novels animated. It is a good pace, so nice. I was afraid when they showed Strange Grief’s seiyuu, I thought they were going to anime 5 novels but 3 is okay, although the 3 first novels aren’t really the best arc.

Let’s go for the next episode next week, I want to see Liz go crazy!
