The Amber Sword Volume 2 Chapter 166
TL: Chapter 12/12 batch. Phew, I’m super exhausted, been working on the batch full time for the past week. This marks the end of the Arc and batch release. I’ll see you guys on July 15 for a new TAS update with a short recap. I can finally draw some personal shit and pr0|\|z.
Edit: I’m actually seeing some strange links clicked on my website. If you find something weird just let me know.
Chapter 166 – Gambler’s Roulette (3)
“I’m not seeing any enemies.”
“The left street has no enemies too.”
“This alley has none of the damned skeletons either!” The yell echoed in the empty street.
Jana’s anxious eyes glinted under the dim light. Her fingers were on her rapier; her doubts in her heart were growing so deeply that she felt she was drowning. Everyone was under the same state as they searched around the streets for the undead.
When the mercenaries did not discover their presence, they regrouped and advanced in the darkness. Their hurried footsteps were not curtailed and shuffled against the soil loudly. Under the unknown presence that threatened to lurk at every corner, they felt a chill entering their soul. Fear gripped their throats as every shadow in the vicinity seemed to move.
They strained their ears to listen for the faintest hint of noise, afraid that the undead would suddenly gush out from a random alley and surround them completely.
They crossed than half of the distance required to go to the west gate and found nothing. The undead supposedly overwhelming the city was not there.
[Did that young noble judge wrongly?]
The scrawny boy was recently recruited by Jana, and he still had signs of malnourished because of his previous impoverished life. His face held a terrible pallor, mostly because of the terrible atmosphere around him.
“Commander?” The boy said.
“What is it?”
“Has that noble judged wrongly? Is the undead moving towards the north instead?”
“Impossible,” Jana immediately rejected this suggestion: “Timing is everything in a war, and undead commanders are not fools.”
“But……” The boy wanted to say more, but he was interrupted a shout.
“Commander, we found something.” One of the mercenaries ahead of them shouted: “Come over and take a look!”
Jana exchanged glances with the boy before she nodded and ran over. When she got onto the crossroads, she was stunned—
The entire road had turned into something unrecognizable, and skeletons and human bodies were found everywhere.
It was as if a terrible battle had happened there. When she looked into the distance, there were almost no stone tiles that were intact. The pavements were filled with large holes as though they had been dug out. Boulders were strewn all over the ground, and the nearby buildings were smashed full of holes as though something huge had gone through it.
Some of them looked lopsided as though the ground had sunk; when she looked closer, she discovered wooden splinters leading to smashed wooden supports destroyed with a single punch each. The damage appeared to have been caused by a Silver-ranked fighter.
If it was not for the fact that they were unable to find even a trace of the Element powers disrupting the mana in the vicinity, they would have thought it was a situation where two Golden-ranked fighters fought each other.
“Who are these people?”
When she looked at them, she discovered their clothes were no different from the citizens living outside the city, but it did not explain the destroyed skeletons. She briefly counted the number of skeletons to a body.
It was in the ratio five to one.
[If this ratio is right, that would mean the citizens have a ridiculous amount of fighting prowess. How is it possible for Graudin to live until this day?]
The mercenaries were shaking their heads in disbelief.
“Do you see their weapons?” She suddenly realized something odd.
“We didn’t find any,” said the mercenary who shouted earlier.
“You didn’t find any?” Jana took a deep breath: “Are you trying to tell me these humans used their bare fists to fight with the undead? Are you telling me these citizens are from the Silver Lineage?”
“Commander, I’m not sure if you are joking by that last remark, but the armors’ dents on the skeletons looked like they are smashed by fists—” He said in a small voice.
Jana’s eyes narrowed. The events that happened tonight were a little out of her understanding. Before long, they heard a few sets of horse hooves cantering in the street. Three riders dashed through the swirling fog. The scouts sent out earlier by her had returned.
“What did you discover at the city gates?” She broke off from her thoughts and asked.
“Commander,” the rider greeted her before he answered: “There is a fight breaking out at the city gates between what looks to be undead skeletons and humans.”
[[[What?! Are you trying to say the city’s citizens managed to push back the undead?]]]
The mercenaries who heard this answer glanced at each other and had this thought in their mind.
========== Amandina’s POV ==========
A light in the dark felt like it represented hope. Even though it was nothing more than an illusion in their minds, people were still willing to walk forward towards the light.
A fire torch was flickering in the darkness.
A young woman was kneeling on her knees in front of the light. The red hue emitted from it colored her cheeks and body. In the midst of the unsteady intensity of the brightness when it flickered, the beautiful lines of her body were repeatedly drawn.
Her lips were pursed together with a relaxed expression, and she placed both her hands on her knees without moving a muscle. Her black eyes seemed to have a light dancing in them as the fire burned unsteadily.
The sights before her eyes did not affect her at all as if she cared nothing about them.
A tremendous bang echoed in front of her. Three impossibly huge vines which needed two men to hug it emerged violently from the ground, bringing stone fragments and soil up in the air, before they whipped across the gleaming white skeletons in the darkness.
The ten-odd meters long vines easily crushed and swept across the sea of skeletons, causing a cacophony of cracking noises as the crushed skeletons were knocked high up into the air before it smashed onto the ground.
Three tall, stoic men who wore long animal hides covering their backs stood on the city wall commanded the vines. They cleared the skeletons which kept rushing in repeatedly like they were sweeping away snow. Standing near them were even taller figures with slightly hunched bodies. They were transformed Lycanthropes and stared at the sea of undead with their gleaming pupils, ready to fight off any Dark Warriors and Necromancers lurking nearby.
The battle had already lasted a full hour—
“Miss Amandina, it seems there are ally reinforcements from the city.”ย A gigantic Lycanthrope walked over with surprisingly stealthy footsteps and bowed to her. “They appear to be mercenaries.”
She got up and looked down from the city walls. She nodded after a moment and glanced at Romaine who was clutching her precious bag. Half her body was lying against a battlement as she slept soundly. She would have appeared quite a charming lady if it was not her drooling and half opened mouth and mutterings from her dreams.
Amandina walked over with a sigh and patted her cheeks.
Romaine immediately made a face and made a loud sound of displeasure with her tongue, waving her hands with small protests of complaints: “If you wish to kill Romaine, please wait till I’m done with my sleep—”
Amandina suddenly felt she needed to lie down, but not for the reason of being fatigued.
“Romaine.”
“Yes, yes,” She frowned with her eyebrows as she spoke in her dreams: “Get your queue number, next—”
When Amandina finally brought Romaine over, she found the female commander Jana in a grimace.
The latter was observing the Lycanthropes and Druids suppressing the undead with considerable ease.
Even if her mercenaries did not come, the results in the west gate would not change. Their strange appearances had led them to wonder what exactly they were and whether they worked for the young noble. If they were, did it meant that he had never trusted her in the first place?
[Perhaps that youth had also made countermeasures for Raban as well?]
She inhaled with displeasure. Even though she knew it was a common thing to do, she felt a sliver of discomfort. It was as if her determination to risk her life was denied by someone else. Despite her maturity, she had looked forward to achieving a miracle after witnessing the proof that the youth had killed Graudin. Her band of mercenaries thought the same way.
In this chaotic region, she and her mercenaries led a nomadic life. She had hoped that the young man was someone worth following, and at least allowed her followers to feel like they could swear loyalty to.
[He’s just like them. No matter how outstanding he appears to be, he’s only looking at us like pieces on a chessboard. He doesn’t trust us and sent additional forces to guard against the undead.]
Jana swung her hair back to her ears and looked silently at Amandina. The latter returned her gaze and stood calmly with showing any signs of being intimidated. For some strange reason, she found Jana and her mercenaries was staring oddly at her and the men here. She quickly came to a conclusion on what had transpired between Brendel and the mercenaries.
“May I know who you are?” Amandina was the first to speak.
Jana felt like she was being suppressed even though the person in front of her was much younger.
[Another damned aristocrat wench.]
“Jana, commander of the Mountain Swallows Company. We are sent here by Lord Gaston’s order, and who might you be, little girl?” She asked with a ridiculing tone, despite knowing who the girl possibly was.
Amandina’s expressions did not change, although she was smirking in her mind.
“I am also Lord Gaston’s subordinate. To be exact, I’m his chief advisor.” She said, and extended out a hand: “This is Lady Romaine, Lord Gaston’s fiancee.”
The merchant girl yawned as she rubbed her eyes sleepily.
A streak of disgust and disappointment flashed in Jana’s eyes. Amandina did not miss her expressions, and she felt the same feeling in her own heart.
“Although, I wish to be clear,” Amandina’s expression turned cold, her voice with slight disdain creeping in: “I might have introduced myself as his advisor, but that does not mean I agree with his methods. Tell Lord Gaston this, miss Jana, if he thinks he can avoid hurting others by acting on his own, he should cast off that naivety. I don’t know what he’s trying to become, but a hero isn’t a saint who doesn’t commit mistakes, but one who takes up responsibility!
Even if he chooses to commit a mistake, he carries not only his life but our hopes and love for him as well. I might respect his choice today, but I will never forgive the act where he abandoned his subordinates— Finally, tell him in this world, freedom, and hope cannot be obtained without going to war and shedding blood.”
The Lycanthropes who had impossibly sharp ears of hearing turned towards Amandina with emotional gazes.
Jana looked at the Lycanthropes who reacted strangely before she asked: “What does that mean?”
Amandina did not reply.
Jana cast her gaze at Romaine for answers, but the latter merely smiled sweetly in response.
“Erm Miss J—, whatsyournameagain……” Romaine muttered under her breath before she continued: “Miss Dame, may I ask if you have Magic Signalling arrows?”
The corners of Jana’s eyes twitched.
============== Brendel’s POV =============
A signal rose from the west gate. The bright fire from the arrow sailed across the sky and lit up the city brightly.
Brendel and his men stopped running when they saw it. The light felt almost like a congratulatory note, informing them they had won.
Brendel sighed heavily.
[If I’m a gambler, then I must be one of the luckiest one around. The roulette has stopped and pointed to the biggest door possible to the future. The fact that the west gate is held means that the Viridien Village has set out to defend it. Since the Lycanthropes didn’t go looking for Sifrid, it must have been Amandina or Romaine’s idea to guard the west gate. Perhaps somewhere along the way, they probably spotted the undead moving…… Regardless of how it came to this conclusion, I have won the day.]
He did not know what the future lied beyond that door, or at least he could not see that far ahead, but the chess piece he placed down had survived Graudin and Madara’s resistance.
“My lord, does this mean Dawn is finally here?” Ciel asked with a smile.
“No, not yet,” Brendel shook his head while he looked at the light: “But— I can finally see Firburh’s ending.”

June 9, 2017 @ 6:43 pm
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE MASS UPDATE!
you are the best
June 9, 2017 @ 6:50 pm
Thanks for the mass release!
June 9, 2017 @ 7:19 pm
thx u for your nice suprise
June 10, 2017 @ 2:56 am
btw according to wiki, this chapter should be last chapter of volume 2
June 9, 2017 @ 8:14 pm
Thanks!
June 9, 2017 @ 8:30 pm
Blessings to the translator for his efforts.
Since all good things come to an end… tis now time to cry that there are no more chapters and maybe throw in some whining too.
In regards to TAS once it’s over you’re gonna have to look really fucking hard to find something that’s not utter shit to translate. Few things are as good RTW, Dungeon Defense, Gate or TAS or etc…
June 12, 2017 @ 3:19 pm
I highly recommend Rakuin no Monshou since you mentioned novels involving wars and politics with a little seriousness and no comedy
June 9, 2017 @ 8:42 pm
Thank you ๐
June 9, 2017 @ 8:47 pm
Fuck that guy with his review you are the best ๐ continue with your own pace and thanks as always for great chapters :).
June 9, 2017 @ 9:01 pm
Thank you very much!!!!!!!!! This was one of the best release batches ever!!!!!!! You just got to love a massive battles, and to think that Brendel would so suddenly become an Iron-ranked Elementalists and summon so many new cards at once…….. it is just so unexpected.
Not to mention, if Brendel takes over Firburgh, he will finally have land and resources to support his Planeswalker cards. Of course, this is if I understand/remember some of the rules correctly. However, if I am right, that would mean that Brendel will be able to make Fribugh prosper and utilize more of his land and resources cards.
……..Best of all, if Brendel can go on a killing spree among the undead armies before they full retreat, he should be able to make up for some of the lost XP. It may not be on the same level as that quest clearing with the Grey Wolves Mercenarys, but thousands is a big number……….. Either way, thank you again
June 9, 2017 @ 9:02 pm
Yay, mass release!!
… and now the drought begins. *sigh*
> A streak of disgust and disappointment flashed in Janaโs eyes. Amandina did not miss
> her expressions, and she felt the same feeling in her own heart.
And here we have it ladies and gentlemen, Brendel’s true superpower: frustrating females who work with or for him.
> So whatโs going to happen in the next 1-2 years? Iโm going to find a job and get some art XP.
Wait, you mean you had to pay 25.000 USD for art school and they didn’t give you an OP growth cheat that lets you MAX level your drawing skills while you sleep? But _everybody_ gets that one, don’t they?
I think you got ripped off, dude. Either that or i need to lay off the LN for a while… Nah, definitely got scammed.
June 10, 2017 @ 3:35 am
Nope, the art schools that i know have similar price range
June 11, 2017 @ 12:39 pm
To think they still abuse art students. Haven’t they learn anything? Last time they reject an art student he started a world war.
June 24, 2017 @ 12:38 am
true true
June 9, 2017 @ 9:04 pm
Thanks for the mass release. Have fun drawing!
June 9, 2017 @ 9:11 pm
You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Those 12 releases had me rubbing my eyes for confirmation.
June 9, 2017 @ 9:14 pm
awesome chapter batch
took the whole fight and jammed it into a mass release epic fights and insanity all mixed together.
Also meeting a rival should make the following story even more interesting.
June 9, 2017 @ 9:20 pm
Thank you for all the hard work! We readers appreciate it very much! With regards to that Justbin guy, please ignore him. There always some guys who doesn’t appreciate what is given. You have a life outside translating this novel and there is nothing wrong with that. Please translate at your own pace and don’t overwork yourself. It’s always quality over quantity~
Also, good luck on your art drawings~
June 9, 2017 @ 9:22 pm
Hey don’t sweat the haters. You do an excellent job and TAS is currently tied for my favorite translation, not counting ZTJ because ZTJ is bae.
Obviously I wouldn’t say no to more chapters, but part-time and with your quantity/quality is already pretty good.
I wish I had donated to your patreon earlier, not that it would have been enough to sway your decision to full-time. I honestly thought that it would easily get enough and so wasn’t in a hurry, but I’ll def put some in later.
June 9, 2017 @ 9:30 pm
โButโ I can finally see Firburhโs ending.โ
lol
This looks like Keima Katsuragi from The World God Only Knows XD
I imagine Brendel adjusting imaginary glasses just now XD
lol
Thanks for the translation!
June 9, 2017 @ 10:57 pm
Support for all your hard work! Thanks for the release, and I will be waiting in anticipation for next month. Good luck with your art, and do your best not to mind the selfish idiots of the world. Though the world is full of whinners, there are those who appreciate your dedication. I am certainly one of them. Get out there, and have some fun while we wait for your return!
June 9, 2017 @ 11:15 pm
We eagerly wait your return Wolfie! Hang in there looking for a job! We all know the feel~
June 9, 2017 @ 11:23 pm
Finished. I wish I could sleep now and wake up to another batch release on july 15 lol. Its oddly satisfying. Thank you wolfie
June 10, 2017 @ 12:09 am
Thank you for the hard work Wolfie!
June 10, 2017 @ 12:23 am
That was a roller coaster of emotion there. Thanks fir the releases!
June 10, 2017 @ 12:28 am
I really enjoyed your TL of this novel. Great work. The only complaint I have is that…. the chapters are too dang short!!
Oh well. Still, fantastic work, lad. Catch up with you next month. {thumbs up}
June 10, 2017 @ 12:38 am
That was an incredibly satisfying ending to that arc. Thank you for the releases.
June 10, 2017 @ 1:23 am
Damn these chapters where amazing. Your translations are truly a step above others.
June 10, 2017 @ 1:59 am
Thanks For The Chapter ๐
June 10, 2017 @ 2:49 am
Thank you very much for translating, particularly for the batch release!
June 10, 2017 @ 4:41 am
Go out and have a drink, you’ve earned it son
June 10, 2017 @ 7:24 am
I’m honestly confused.
No, seriously I don’t get it.
You’ve given plenty of back ground information on what sort of effort and lengths you’ve had to go through to give us high quality (and it is high quality) translations of this story.
It’s been explained multiple times, what you’ve had to do in order to deliver each chapter as something worth reading.
The translators notes have been crystal clear how much you emphasize on quality.
I can fathom that there are people who skip all the commentary that’s not strictly plot related, even if I personally find it a bit rude. It’s sort of like junkies who don’t check to see if the needle is clean in their hurry to get their next fix.
It’s base, primal and not a great way to appreciate the work for what it is, but I get it.
No, what I don’t get is how people can consciously ignore the goodwill of translators and even criticize them for giving them free content.
Regardless of how much the translator is receiving in compensation for their efforts, whether it’s enough to fund a full time translation gig or buy an occasional cup of coffee frankly doesn’t matter. The fact that there’s no pay wall means that the majority of the readers on the site will be leechers.
I’m a leecher too, so I’m fully aware of how lucky I am to be able to benefit from the generosity of others.
However, there seems to be a disconnect somewhere along the line. Just because the translator accepts donations or has a Patreon, how does that give us the right to criticize their work?
It could be a Machine Translated series, beginning to end, straight from Google Translate (heaven forbid) and we wouldn’t have any right to complain.
No one asked you to donate.
No one forced you to subscribe to their Patreon.
No one demanded you come here and read their story.
Just as a note, I’m not telling people to stop supporting Wolfie here. You guys are awesome and I wish I was in a financial position to both support myself and the people I appreciate. However, that’s not feasible at the moment. Until then, I leech.
My point is, the money and subscribers are donating money to both show appreciation to the translator, as well as keep their interest here.
People aren’t “buying” content here. The translator isn’t being paid by the word count. You’re paying money to show the translator that this is a worthwhile effort, that they shouldn’t quit or do something else that would benefit themselves more.
The money isn’t a purchase, it’s an incentive to keep translating.
This isn’t a real obligation beyond the translators’ own sense of kindness towards those who actually show appreciation.
If the translator gets tired of this, they can just stop, they don’t owe us anything really.
People may think, “Oh, if one person stops, then I’ll just hop to something else or wait until someone else picks it up.”
Which is absurd.
If you don’t appreciate one translator to the point of insulting them, (especially one who puts a lot of effort into their work) then you probably won’t appreciate the next one, which inevitably results in a similar tragic conclusion. After all, who gives free gifts to people who insult them?
It just doesn’t make sense to me.
What are they hoping to accomplish? There’s no benefit to be gained, except maybe the small thrill some of them get for trolling. The detriment is easy enough to find. There are dozens of translators who went on hiatus or just stopped posting content because people felt so self-entitled, they forgot they were receiving a gift and treated their translators as content slaves.
I’m not usually so worked up about this, but it’s been a pretty common thing around the internet recently. Lots of quality translators are getting fed up by their ever whining and complaining readers.
For example, from Volarenovels:
http://volarenovels.com/what-translators-go-through/
Especially with Qidian International looming over the horizon, the presence of free translations is becoming threatened enough as it is.
If you don’t know about Qidian International, it’s a website which publishes edited content of various genres from Asian countries at a pretty fast pace. Sounds pretty great right? Well, it is pretty great. Except they plan on implementing their pay wall in a few months.
If you’re not familiar with the term pay wall, it means a pay-to-view system.
They’re a big group that is buying and hunting many stories which are currently free, placing them under their banner while stomping down hard on anyone who has already translated content on their site.
It’s already been released that while the content on their site is freely accessible at the moment, this is not their future intention, as per their argument with Wuxiaworld:
http://www.wuxiaworld.com/wuxiaworld-formal-response-to-qidian-licensing-issues-post/
To be fair, it is legitimate business. They found a popular market and found a way to make money from it.
However, it also means that private translators and translation groups are becoming scarcer.
After all, who wants to potentially pour hundreds of hours (and let’s be honest, it often is hundreds of hours) into a project, only to be forced to tear it all down because Qidian noticed how popular it was, purchased exclusive rights from the author and slapped down a Cease and Desist order?
Yeah. No one.
Sorry for the rant. I support all translators and appreciate the work and effort they go through in order to entertain, we, the adoring masses. I’m especially glad for the ones, like Wolfie, who work hard to raise their content to the next level of quality.
Thank you very much.
June 10, 2017 @ 7:55 am
Thanks for the chapter dump. It was amazing to have a nice great run of chapters again. So glad Brendel can finally start using his plainswalker abilities.
June 10, 2017 @ 12:32 pm
Sorry for my english, I do not speak English. I use translator.
Thank for you good job. I like you translate.
I read with Google translator, and thanks for your hard work, machine translation into my language is very good.
I read TAS somewhere from chapter 60. I saw the quality of translation growing. I do not know what is the quality of the translation in English {I think the quality is good))}. But I’ve seen the changes and I’m grateful for the excellent punctuation and position of the words in the sentences {thanks to this, machine translation improves)))}. I really do not know about the grammar of words, but even based on my knowledge, I can see the zealous attitude to your work.
I liked the translation in large packs. This method of translation allows you to better feel the work. I believe that for me personally this kind of translation will be more pleasant.
Since you can not feel so many emotions from single chapter (I would not have written this message, since I’m not very sociable, especially not in my native language)).
Thank you for the translation and good luck to you and all of you.
June 10, 2017 @ 2:33 pm
You dont need to compromise or justify your decision just give those people the cold shoulder and focus on those who appreciate your translation and hard word ๐
And thanks a lot for the mass release btw.
June 10, 2017 @ 3:56 pm
Thank you very much for what you do. Reading the translation of this series is a boost in my day ๐
June 10, 2017 @ 6:32 pm
Ah… Thanks for the chapter, Wolfie. See you later at 15th of July. Hope u got a nice job… ๐
I think I’ll reread TAS starting from ch. 1 again, but anybody have recommendations to something that has the same feel as TAS?
June 10, 2017 @ 7:49 pm
You can read the web novel, Mother of Learning, but it’s not as action pack, but there are conspiracy that makes it enjoyable. It’s an original posted on a few sites. I read the novel at https://www.fictionpress.com/s/2961893/1/Mother-of-Learning
June 11, 2017 @ 2:04 am
Same feel, if you mean battles with so much flash your eyes bleed then,
Mahoutsukai no Yoru partial english playthrough on youtube
If you like fate stay night, you might be interested in this because it’s the same author.
If you mean great battles with a huge army then,

Question about Medissa (posted here as it’s the end of the batch):
In the last couple chapters, when Medissa was hurt, she you described all the red blood that was flowing and dying here armor. The question I have is, if I recall correctly (could be wrong), didn’t the silver elves have silver blood? I thought I remembered her bleeding silver blood at least when Brendel first fought her. If so, why is the blood red now? My personal memory lapse? Or the author decided to change it? Or you decided to change it in your translation?
June 11, 2017 @ 1:54 am
If the blood is really silver then I think the author and I forgot about it lol (I can’t recall the blood being silver). The author described it as red in that chapter twice.
I change things for mostly 3 reasons
1) Author made a mistake.
2) It’s useless to the progress of the story (aka word padding)
3) I add slightly more descriptive contents in order to replenish word padding through a storyboarding process.
June 11, 2017 @ 6:22 am
I looked it up in your translations (not being able to read the original language) and it would be chapter 92 of book 2 in which it is mentioned that her hands where covered in silver blood. It was only mentioned once then.
So of course that means I cannot check to see if this chapter or the previous chapter where correct, or the author just decided to change it.
June 11, 2017 @ 6:33 am
I’m glad that there are fans out there who remember these kind of details, holy shit.
Yup, the raws wrote silver blood on ch 92. And the author made that mistake of describing it as red color in ch 156 (I think that’s the chapter). I also failed to catch that. I’ll change it to silver now. Thanks lol.
June 11, 2017 @ 12:26 pm
Thank you for the amazing chapter. ๐
June 12, 2017 @ 4:11 am
I’ll be looking forward to my after July 4th reading. Be safe and work on your career. Hobbies are one thing, life long career goals are another thing. Best of luck and enjoy! You really do make TAS a good read with your editing and translation efforts.
June 13, 2017 @ 5:09 am
WOW thank for your hard work! 12 chapter is epic, you went over and beyond effort at the start of the month and your translation is great. Again WOW!
PS I made NU remove hasbin review, it not there anymore, the domage is done but it doesn’t mean that we need to let it be, it wasn’t a review anyways just somebody unhappy for the wrong reason.
i love the work you did with amber sword your the best kind of translater there is.

all my support to you, and i believe all the silent reader do support you, it’s just that inviting envy from a hypocrite jerk is unavoidable in this world and i hope that you got the job ๐
hope god will repay you with happiness that you give to others like me
June 15, 2017 @ 2:23 pm
Thanks! This incident made me recall an old method of mine, think of happy thoughts before I draw, and condition myself at peak performance. It’s a super important rule of mine and I totally forgot all about it until this incident, so it’s not all bad. If you are preparing for a competition, maybe you can use this rule as well, good luck!
June 17, 2017 @ 4:36 am
Just started TAS 5 days ago and finally caught up. Amazing work on the translation. editing, and rewriting. Thanks for the superb work and good luck on job hunting!

Wait… if the people of Senia are strong enough to stop an undead army of at least a thousand, if not several thousands, why did they allow Graudin to trapple them? Sure, most of the undead army are cannon fodder, but Brendel said Jana’s group of 300 mercenaries would be like a rock in an ocean (or river or lake…) so the people of Senia are actually fairly strong. The only thing that makes sense to me is if they did not retaliate because they feared the kingdom’s retaliation if they killed may of Graudin’s soldiers. Still, it’s weird. The strongest person in Senia is a silver ranked brawler, so it’s not like they are all silver ranked soldiers… unless transforming makes them as strong as a silver ranked soldier while being iron ranked or lower… or they got the druids help to defend the west city wall, but that makes absolutely no sense. Why would the druids help defend a human city, when they don’t even help the people of Senia defend against the humans that want to murder them. The druids and the people of Senia are allies or at least friendly with each other, so it makes no sense for the druids to not help them, but help a human city.
