Exactly, what motivation do I have to obey your word policing?

That Lefany putting up a barrier or someone doing something stupid? Perhaps someone mind controlled by the parasite.

Cake?

If the guild had fled it would be the same, MC and Cat alone.

what's that from?

Well that doesn't make them silver/golden spoon babies, that just means they are a guild that has been at this for awhile and have things together very well. They most assuredly earned much wealth through dungeon crawling and realize deadly situations just come up and everyone needs to be prepared for terrible shit all the time.

They clearly see this is going to be be a dangerous battle yet they face it with grim determination.

both are "real worlds"

both are "real worlds"

So why did MC stay there if MC knew the field spell wouldn't hold? I suppose counting on the guild to actually protect with actual fighting? But MC sounded surprised they were going to fight.

Clearly a well prepared strong guild, that sounds like nonsense to me

Well no, this is stuff they already had on hand, preparing for the worst. Regular adventurers wouldn't have half this shit, they gave up armor and weapons and such.

I figured the monk rep would be good with the child being saved, not fooling anyone story.

That illusion and transformation magic somehow made MC look even more like a vampire.

And the mad god.

Haven't heard anything about the mad god yet.

Pray to the mad god?

Yes and it died in the arms of the darkness, that power fully going to the darkness instead of MC getting part of it.

Also MC didn't even know about darkness getting power with each death till after letting the whale go.

Again MC was a fool to not kill the whale.

I get that it's something like that. And there are indications this is going to be something evil, just nothing evil shown yet.

I forgot all about the destroying judgement stone thing, can someone please remind me?

Don't those physical witch abilities not get effected by the stones much though?
