Chapter 29 - Volume 1
TL Edit: Ok. I didn’t want to do this but I’m going to issue a final warning. I have said many times I don’t want spoilers, but someone had repeatedly ignored them and posted information in the comments that I cannot unsee.
I have not read ahead while the people who had asked me for the raws or got it from novelupdates, did so at their own pleasure. That’s fine with me, but don’t expect me to feel pleased when you talk about the future chapters.
People have asked why I don’t post the raw link, and it’s precisely because I’m worried that spoilers might appear. I’m at most half a chapter ahead of the readers to ensure there are no translation issues, so I don’t know exactly what happens in Fortress Riedon or whatever place after that.
The only few chapters that I took a look at are in in the 100s and 200s chapters, to ensure that the amber sword doesn’t suddenly spiral down into a trashy novel or something.
I don’t deliberately stall my translations, and I’m up there with the cliffhangers with you guys who can’t read the raws.
Finally, it’s going to be the weekends pretty soon. I’ll definitely translate the next chapter at the very least.
Chapter 29 – Tumen’s Legacy.
Romaine and Freya extinguished the campfire and followed Brendel who started running. They guessed that Brendel’s sudden change in his behavior was due to that piercing light, and Freya did not understand how it was created.
[This is the result for lazing around regularly.] He shook his head.
Brendel took a deep breath. He was so tense that his body felt numb. Even though he presented himself as calm and composed in front of Freya, it did not mean he was not afraid. The enemy had the power of a strong Grade 1 rank. Without the Ring of the Wind Empress, he found it hard to believe that he could reliably match the opponent.
[4.5 OZ strength, 6 OZ physique, 2 OZ agility. Toughness and defense are extremely high. Its skin has corrosive poison, well versed in range attack, and has the ability to bind. It’s weak against fire and slashes.]
He mentally recalled the opponent’s stats. This mature Demonic Tree’s stats were not so different from the Elite Rotten Beast, but he knew there was a great difference in how they battled.
Brendel was still thinking of the opponent’s differences, while the ivy on the Demonic Tree suddenly seemed to come alive. Countless ivy branches suddenly came at him. He evaded to one side and rolled to evade the ivy branches that looked delicate, but they pierced through a boulder like steel pikes a ‘ksssh’ sound. The surface of the boulder started smoking with a hissing sound. Fear ran freely through his veins.
[A corrosive attack. This is the most frightening aspect of the Demonic Tree. Typical weapons would not be able to hurt them, and instead get ruined by their corrosive nature.]
The Demonic Trees knew that it had missed when it heard the sound. It moved its ivy to the side, and whipped at Brendel again. He hurled expletives at it in his mind but continued to evade it. The ‘Iron Whip’ continued to sweep over the surface and hurled stones everywhere.
Rock pieces struck the area above Brendel’s eyebrows, and it immediately bled. But he did not dare to utter any sounds and just grabbed the ‘Thorn of Light’ and advanced when he saw a gap.
He took a few steps forward but immediately paused.
A series of words appeared in his retina.
“Summon the Holy Sword?”
