This is confusing... I almost think that she wants him to kill them, even though she says "No." Like some twisted way for him to how much he actually cares or something.
She is very fucked up herself after all.

But, you know, maybe she's just not an evil person and doesn't want people to die

Some of what she will become is bleeding through.
Willing to do anything to get her way, because she believes it's right

Should have punched him at least once.
Psycho deserved it. What if it was just a normal civi?
Climbing onto a roof isn't exactly hard

Isn't breaking someone out of enlightenment a tabbo in the martial arts world?

He really did give her a final mercy, I'm just surprised it was as merciful as it was

TIME FOR A HANGING! EVERYONE GATHER AROUND!

Dumbass, you should have had a small army protecting you

A double cross impact from using 2 swords? That's too op to ignore. He's gonna have to get another sword.

Who needs DEX when your STR and CON is so high?

This arc sucks :(

I keep saying it but holy hell the art in the fight scenes are amazing. The classical ink painting style looks so good

Boo hoo, your lover died in a war, not because he wanted to help people, but simply because he wanted to become stronger.

This isn't a tragic tale, no matter how they frame it.

This is a creature who slaughted countless innocents because her lover died in a war.
For them, death is too much of a mercy

I mean, look at the sort of person she is.
She's a fucking sociopath.
Whatever Maelyns real reason was, abandoning her was the correct choice

She's made out of soil in that form?
Too bad theres no character who can control soil

YEAAAAAAH, FUCK THIS TREE AND ARROGANT WOMAN!

Ehhhh, traitors should be punished as an example. Letting them off the hook just because they are useful is fucked.
Force them to work as slave labour, and inflict pain whenever they don't do well enough.
It'll lower their effectiveness, but it'll also send a pretty powerful message

She can't be that good of a person if she's using an innocent guy as basically a meat shield.
"Shes not like that," I mean, she did it, so clearly she is

He has a fucking dragon as a wife. The fuck are you doing idiot?

So, this is a video game world right? That seems clear.
I'm just wondering if it's a world that got converted into a video game, or if it's just a normal video game with advanced AI characters

Fair enough
