Comiak, I find the Total Mana Control 1000/1000 VERY interesting.

Bad Dog

This was EPIC!!!! I love it!!

Starfall20

It is interesting that she specifies a 3D version of the skill. Is it different than the normal version of the skill?

ShotoGun

Isn’t one of the requirequirements witnessing a superstorm? That took like 100 legendary beings dying in a week. I guess she could somehow share the memory though.

Nematrec

She said "Kayafe could have done it" in reference to keeping the *mana* away

Jemini

@Jeanean I will point out for the sake of your proposed scenarios, Comiak has made a statement that no being is naturally born legendary. Dragons can be spawned legendary, but dragons who are hatched from eggs will be born exalted. This same deal goes for any child of a Legendary+ exalted-tier race. (This is why I'm pushing for the idea that Alysara has a race that is born minor tier but has the OP ability to 1. guarantee a race-tier evolution every 5 years of life, and 2. does not require points to level up race past legendary up till whatever tier Alysara was when she started having kids. Best part, if this is true, there won't even be a world announcement when members of this OP race start going legendary (at least in their race.))

Squirtle

I agree, Aly just doesn't seem interested at all in anyone what soever

Randy Marks

Thanks Imp!

Imp

The runalymo church just called Kayafe a saint there, not explained it as a title.

Hpez

Tbh I'd very much prefer she didn't end up with anyone at all. And even if she does I'd prefer it to be anyone but Tana tbh. There's just too much going on, and then we have the reality eater to contend with eventually, I just don't know when we'd throw in a child raising arc. It also feels like there's no one out there even close to being able to match her, and if someone did magically catch up like that I feel like it'd feel artificial. Aside from that the 'broodmare bad ending' has been hanging over our heads with the elders and more recently Klaman that the idea just makes me feel gross tbh.

Randy Marks

Yeah, I did a search, and it was in the $10 tier, Water 4 chapter, apparently, but it may not be a title there.

Robert Mullins

This is the first time a saint/saintess title has appeared in the story.

Straven

Completely new to me, then again though my memory the last month+ hasn't been very good. I know this Ping! update one is deff very much new and first time popping up!

Randy Marks

Has the title of "Saint/Saintess" been explained anywhere so far?

Squirtle

She reminds me a bit of Alyssa Filigree from Reborn from the Cosmos

Straven

I just remembered the chapter where her talking partner who taught her there language experienced just as she was about to finally eat something good....only to hear a PING! and read said info and know she didn't have time to eat! I think this time might just be even more 'AHG'!

Squirtle

Probably yeah lol

DarthWaffles

Is it a coincidence that the Royal Road got the Eldrich Gazer chaper today?

Pawzom Lz

And from this chapter onwards the new one will also be wrong.

Jeanean

I noticed it a while ago, but Royal road has the wrong version of the cover art where Aly's Ears and boobs are too small.

Sky

Especially the Emperors.

Squirtle

I think Kayafe is a better friend/colleague than a potential lover. Tana has the drive to become Legendary along with Aly. I think Tana is the closest possibility out of who we know at the moment. But still, she's got way too much on her plate to even care about that right now.

Pawzom Lz

And artificial insemination would be baiting a major cursed being event far too much. Just swallowing a bit of blood from someone of the same species or taking in a bit of their mana seems to be enough for someone to become a cursed being, which begs the question why mothers and their children dont become cursed beings during pregnancy while the mothers heart is beating for the child. This might be because its considered a natural process? If so it would also explain why a woman does not become a cursed being upon being impregnated with her partners sperm, or just exchanging some saliva while kissing. Because its a natural process. If so artificial insemination between 2 of the same gender would not be considered a natural process and would probably trigger a cursed being becoming born. We dont really know enough about this stuff yet.

Pawzom Lz

Tana and Uloru in their current state arent fit for her either, but they could always change, we dont know what Comiak has planned(I am a fan of the way Tana approaches dungeons as if they are a game, but this also shows how immature he is in comparison). Kayafe though is just wrong, as shes essentially Aly's ancestor + your point of age difference earlier does not work as Aly only have memories of her current life + a few from her previous while she was alive, the rest are basically a fast forwarded movie thanks to Yrania so they would not change her much. So with Kayafe having spent centuries with the human emperor and the 2 others travelling between realms, the reason she and Aly cant be together would be the same reason for why Aly is not a good fit for anyone from her current generation either due to being too mature due to the additional memories. In order for Aly to find a partner I suspect it will be up to whoever that partner is to go through quite a few things so they can mature far beyond their age or something, maybe end up in a different realm where time flows a little faster and experience some hardships there? Would fit with the new enemies that has appeared.

Jeanean

Really hoping here we get Version 2, or at least something similar, because fuck save but boring, and I'm really not that big of a fan of either Tana or Uloru, who are currently the only options available.

Jeanean

At this point, there are two ways I see this story developing in this regard: Version 1: -Alysara evolves to Heroic. -Tana gets "redemption" arc (probably including longwinded travel and adventuring on a certain foreign continent) -Tana returns as a "true man" after becoming Exalted shortly after Aly becomes Exalted too -They get together and have kids -Bam, new naturally Exalted race, and everyone is happy Version 2: (My favorite because its much more fun, chaotic, and generally not the safe but boring choice.) -Alysara and Kayafe get closer while working together and generally saving the Runalymo time and again -They manage to push back the gods attempts at having a go at Aly and become a couple in the process -By the time they get some peace, Aly is Legendary -Alysara and Kayafe settle down to get a well earned vacation and decide to have kids (Because Aly's Heirloom Race is basically a Chekhov's nuclear warhead) -They develop artifical insemination, because they are intelligent women who can easily find a workaround for the problem of none of them having a dick -And once the kids are born (accompanied by a Legendary worldannouncement), the gods come knockin' for round two, because none of them wants to deal with a naturally Legendary race that isn't also a race of natural loners, but instead natural Caster-mages, who are most well known in most places for their ability to Channel spells in groups and punch up significantly. Even more so if they also multiply at the same rate as any other race that normally only lives for 100 years on average, and without the mitigating factor of people dying of old age at that. -LET THE CHAOS ENSUE!!!!

Moon Winchester

God I hate this cliffhanger. I want to see everyone’s reactions.

Nematrec

Funny thing. We asked Comiak that on discord... He hadn't thought of *what* it would do. Speculation is rampant

Pawzom Lz

While Aly has a significant amount of memories, they have been compartmentalised into something more along the line of a video that she has watched thanks to Yrania, so it does not translate to age in the traditional sense. Only the memories she recovered naturally counts towards that I think. BUT we are all forgetting something very important here. Didnt realise it at first either myself because of how the Runalymo species looks, so we probably just overlooked it. Both Alysara and Kayafe are female. Neither are hermaphrodites(futa). We know this for a fact in both due to having followed Aly all along and Kayafe was born before the Runalymo resided in the nexus, where they got the milk trait due to lack of food. In other words, since Kayafe looks like a woman, she is one.

Squirtle

Theres also a lot more people who need help as well. But yeah its basically just a catalyst to get Kayafe out

MadGod

There's the fairy queen in hiding whom she'd probably actually get along with.

Jeanean

Sorry, forgot for a moment that Fafnir and co. ar also on the table. Still though...

Jeanean

So what? regarding the difference in age, you have to remember that Kayafe spent basically the entirety of the 10.000 years until Alysara came around inside the Mana Arc, "sleeping". And if you want to start splitting hairs, NO ONE is gonna get even close to Aly in terms of Age difference. She could MAYBE date the Realm Eater, but who would want to see that?

MadGod

Lifedrop necklace + Ripped out liver = Healed dad. The sacrifice was unnecessary, though I get it was all just an excuse to free Kayafe.

Pawzom Lz

Was when the cursed being was still in the process of manifesting after the ruins was disturbed, Safyr mentions that Kayafe would have been able to deal with it with Manipulate Magic.

Pawzom Lz

Was it not mentioned at one(or several) point that they were descended from Kayafe, with royal blue hair colour being a sign of them being her descendants?

wolfsrule90

Yeah, so Aly is going to hook up with some scrub who won't even live 1/10 as long as her when she gets Legendary. Maybe someone catches up in 50 years to Aly, but then you run into the same thing. Also, I don't think Kay had a mate. Did we ever learn that? I got the impression she was like Aly in the lonely princess club. Sacrificed herself for her people.

Robert Mullins

What are you doing step-great^50 grandma?

Jemini

Err... I just recently re-read that chapter about the cursed being, and Syfer never said anything of the sort about Kayafe dealing with it.

wolfsrule90

Does anyone else think Aly and Kayafe will get together? I can't see any other person connect with Aly the same way Kay could.

Robert Mullins

Safyr already mentioned in the last 2 or 3 chapters that she was planning to gift Aly with something to replace her kyhosa.

TaylorTot

I am thinking that once everyone sees what Aly gave up to heal everyone, many will come together and make her a new gift.

Squirtle

Tbh, im the most interested in Kayafe and Sylana the Fairy Queen meeting and playing around together with Aly. Also, Aly FINALLY has an actual 'friend' that she can share her achievements with her magic studying!

Squirtle

I mean, Aly can literally just teach her all the needed breakthroughs for Sense Magic, it wouldnt really take much time compared to using a LP just to do what Kayafe can do. It would be interesting to test it at the very least

Jeanean

But Kayafe would need a very high level of Sense Mana/Magic before she could do that. It would be much better if Alysara just "cleaned" her Manipulate Mana, incorporates it in her Race, and enhances it, and then regularly "cleaned" her other cursed Skills herself.

Pawzom Lz

Does Alysara even need Legendary points anymore to deal with cursed skills? Manipulate Magic can deal with miasma, and with Kayafe free, cant Kayafe just straight up remove the miasma in her cursed skills now which can be followed with her incorporating them into race/classes? Safyr said if Kayafe was free during the cursed being event she could have dealt with the miasma and stopped the cursed being from forming in the first place, so I dont see why dealing with a little bit of miasma inside of a cursed skill would be a problem if she gets the necessary breakthroughs. Only downside to doing it this way would be if there is a LP(or better) gained from first one to cure a cursed skill then it would go to Kayafe instead of Alysara.

Katherine

Yay~

Jeanean

Just realized something. It was hinted several times that Safyr is using her Title to summon a Dragon strike commando. Which basically implies that Titles give you some kind of special power, at least in some cases. Question is now, what is Alysara going to get out of it?

Pawzom Lz

I doubt she will get an exalted option due to her legacy race being upgraded to a unique one, as that means her requirements are way higher than before. She can take the best available race option to her and then upgrade it with the LP she just got, or maybe save the LP for when she eventually gets exalted so she can jump it up to legendary? Ofc this is assuming the point is legendary, if it is fabled then she definitely needs to save it til shes legendary as that point combined with her mythic one would allow her to just straight up become mythic the second she becomes legendary, and pass all of this on to her descendants. And now with Kayafe free she will have someone to rely on who is willing to take a more hands on approach to help her get stronger once she recovers her strength.

Jeanean

Well, it might be quite the same, but Safyr did say she would give Alysara one of her scales as replacement, and I think that might cause some of her Kyhosa's history to get carried over to the new item. So I see a good chance that it becomes a Magic Item as well. Never mind that, with Kayafe's help and her Manipulate Mana getting an upgrade to Manipulate Magic, it might even become a Legendary item, albeit not a growing one.

Pawzom Lz

She wont get a LP from completing the mana arc as she did not build it herself from scratch, and neither will Kayafe get one since she did not make it by herself either. What caught me off guard though is the fact her title just appeared out of nowhere without granting her a LP, but maybe it is just different? We dont exactly know much about titles yet.

Jeanean

I'm pretty sure that was a Legendary worldannouncement, meaning Alysara got a Legendary point. Now, between her new title, the healing of her Cursed Skills, her achievement of finishing the Mana Arc, and basically everything else, I'm gonna be a little worried if she doesn't get an Exalted tier race, because I have absolutely no idea what the hell else she is supposed to do to reach Exalted otherwise. Also, if her new race can incorporate all three of her cursed Skills, its gonna go a little nuts with how powerful it is...

Starfall20

World notification I believe. Also what’s his name the human king is still around and now will try and find her again.

Stubbsee

If you think about it, this might actually be two legendary feats, the first for freeing kayafe and the second one for completing the mana arc. Still a bit unsure, but it would deffinately solve the problem of having a pain to cleanse her skills, and a point to evolve her race, although she likely won't achive legendary for a decade or so

Ex Caseus Fortis

Was that last bit a personal notification or a world notification, because that does seem a bit important.

Comiak

Probably felt rushed from the Eldritch invasion, which tbh is fair and a little truthful, I probably could have foreshadowed it a little more. But, I did sprinkle several symbolisms and foreshadows for how Kayafe gets free.

Jachin Nelson

Well probably cure Manipulate Mana first

Ninetails

Time to go back and check up what her old race evolution options were. Anyone that can remember the chapter we last saw them?

Luboš Hemala

So this was what Safyr and Kayafe foreshadowed? And a legendary point to boot! I was wondering if she could have used enchantments akin to the Lifedrop Necklace.

Collateral_ink

Damn. I agree that this feels a bit rushed, both in the chapter and in the set-up leading to this specific event being what leads to Kayafe's freedom, but (and this is an important but) the bones are there. The reasons behind the decision all work and are in line with the world and the characters. Perhaps in the future a few rewrites to add more foreshadowing of this moment a bit to more fully support it wouldn't be out of line. Regardless, this is a good moment we have been waiting for and I look forward to what happens next. That announcement feels like a Legendary action (or even Fabled) but more interesting than the announcement itself is the TITLE. She is now titled by the system itself, which I doubt is common. I am VERY curious to see what that might mean going forward.

D

-2000% boost + -75% boost to wisdom and intelligence, dang, shell feel week as hell after that one.

AClassroomSpider

i am more interested seeing papuyo's side tbh. .

Peplum

Alexander is gonna be one happy/confused human

VidDav FerDeL

Purifying a cursed skill should give her a legendary point and she already have a legendary point saved up if I'm not mistaken

Signspace

I get that feeling as well. I like the chapter, but it does feel like it came a little out of the blue.

Signspace

She has a body of Vitality, it isn't much of a step to go from Vitality > Flesh, as that's the way it usually works, that's why Aly prepared some in advance for Kayafe's soul to match on to. With Manipulate magic, I doubt Kayafe will be in a mana like state for long.

Bad Timing

I did like the chapter, but it felt a bit rushed, especially for something that has been expected for quite some time. Also, is the title supposed to be a pun I don't get, or a spelling mistake?

Colm Ryan

Loved it

Jemini

Oi! Now that's a SERIOUS legendary point! That one would be powerful if she used it to enhance her race. I know purifying her manipulate mana is a big deal too, but seriously, WOW! Now I kind of want her to wait and hold off on the skill purifying.

VidDav FerDeL

That has to be a legendary point

Necrotyr

So kayafe now has a body made of pure mana? Shell probably need a real body if she ever wants to leave the Nexus then :)

Catberry

I got goosebumps reading the notification at the end, can't wait to read the next chapter!

AClassroomSpider

thank you for the chapter!. .
