12s audiobook was fantastic! 11/10

Alex

Turns Jake into 2 shadow Jakes for a moment. And both are real/unreal, so it doesn't matter which one is destroyed, real Jake will be the remaining living one. And both can attack. Its the mythic skill that Jake made with Eternal Hunger, aka his cursed weapon and Sim-Jake

Parker Bond

Remind me what Eternal Shadow does?

Trumangolorian

Lolol 2 b grades back to back. Tyftc

Phil Ritter

And today we learned why monkey genocide is wholly justified. Be they shit flinging or not they are assholes

Xien

The angriest bird strikes … ambush the ambusher 😈

Chloe

It's a BoGo sale. Buy one get one free. Tyftc

John Durrett

tyftc. The arms reaching out at the end reminded me of Pitou's death nen.

John Durrett

Jake was not impressed either. He simply acknowledged the grind before him.

Beef Wrench

Dirty birdie surprise attack

Great chapter!! I think there is an old Chinese proverb that is fitting for the end of this fight; the snake hunts the cicada unaware it is being stalked by the robin…(but we should at one more line to it that represents Jake) which is lured in by snake that is really a baby dragon looking stretch it’s wings for a true fight.

Casper Høll Andersen

I keep forgetting that I'm 7 hours ahead of my usual time zone (and Zogarths I guess), so I'm constantly confused why the chapter for the day isn't uploaded yet

Thanks for the chapter

JJB4345_80_815

Yes, thank you for the chappy Zogarth!

It was explained in a previous chapter that shroud does nothing to prevent Jake from being tracked by normal means. Even if that doesn't explain why its possible, its a "Rainbowfeather Sovereign," so maybe the sovereign part allows it to cheat the system the way all the main powerhouses do. For example, its been stated many times that a C-Grade cannot produce void magic, yet Arnold and Miyamoto have both done so, and Arnold tricked Jake's perception with his robot body or whatever it was, meanwhile Eversmile is unable to. These are just theories for why it may be possible. Zogarth has a habit of writing in inconsistent material and then explaining it away later when commenters point it out, so we'll see if he explains this one in more detail. P.S. The comment about Zogarth is not an insult nor a complaint, merely an observation, and I am fully aware that a story of this size written chapter by chapter will inevitably have flaws.

david fulmer

Just a question but how can a B grade bird get past a divine skill backed by the viper? Shouldnt shroud keep any karma or marking put on him from actually working?

Zogarth

Fixed stuff

Austin Barton

Favorite comment but we all know this means the cliff will be massive when we get there

brjenness

Combination of pressure, desperation, and time aspects of moment = step 1 in concept of the time archery?

Joshua Little

Thanks for the chapter.

Jason Hardman

At least if he applies his perception to his own moment ability he may gain a deeper understanding of time that is already aligned with him.

Michael Ferguson

I've read a lot of week underdog characters. The only bitch move was dieing when he had other options. Getting help from someone stronger, with a grudge, is a valid strategy.

Michael Ferguson

Ow shit! The bird didn't bring an army. This fight is going to be good. Don't disappoint Jake now.

Melchisedec Bailey

Jake gonna use Moment, and get a power-up. That's what he's been searching for, a situation to push himself. This is it. Jake is tired, and dealing with a powerful sneak attack all while another defeated challenger burns his life force out to hold him still. Moment will activate and Jake will have an epiphany, and turn super sayan.

TwistedVanity

EDIT. That monster had been incredibly POWER, fast Should be POWERFUL

Hotep Saxis

Nah, he can just use his wings escape skill for this.

Thenais

last line has been omitted, it was Jake saying "Thanks for the challenge !" also : perfect time to incorporate time into your archery jake in slow motion style, releasing full speed arrows ? would be fun.

Dave Powell

At least it's not Friday

Jason Hardman

By your act you have doomed your race to extinction.

A Flashy BR

Uh oh tyftc

Zuuuuuri

Or learn about concepts

Zuuuuuri

Riddle me this, when was the last time Jake ran?

Austin Richins

Ah, no need to worry. Sorting this mess will take but a "Moment"!

C. Adkins

Same Tom, same

Jordan

Great chapter. Part of me wonders if this will be the moment where Jake is actually going to die and his bloodline fully explodes to an even greater degree than it did in the Colosseum of Mortals. I kinda expected /or hoped this would happen during the Ell Hakkan fight but maybe we'll see it here.

kinglemur

Dishonor on yooo Dishonor on your famerily

Kasey Lindenmayer

You lacka honor!

MarineDebris

You just had to say it, didn't you?!

Andyr98

The warlord is such a bitch for that

Rewdan

OMD let’s go! Tomorrow is too far away

SmokeJam

2 typos: 2nd paragraph: That monster had been incredibly power,[...] -> powerful 28th paragraph: [...] that a B-grade’s stats all had a higher efficiently -> efficiency Tftc!

Xander

but, but, this is DBZ :) Its rude to interupt your enemy when they are powering up for a final attack.

Apollo Greed

Dishonorable. Smh

James Lucas

Sneak attack!! Bye bye birdie...

SunStar

I’m sure it will be argued that Jake meant to do that, but standing around, letting the enemy monologue and stall is painfully idiotic and cliche. Finish the damn kill rather than listening to blathering.

Jordan Rogers

Typo Even if one counted the fact that a B-grade’s stats all had a higher efficiently—-should be efficiency

PatienceHoney

Yeah, the fight was too easy. He didn't come close to needing to bring out the smelly pot.

Samuel Nelson

The Sovereign sure is exemplifying the qualities of Rainbowfeathers... Gonna laugh my ass off if it dies within a chapter, warning all the other B-Grade to back off.

Xander

TFTC :) Heres hoping I get a new Phantom Shade Panther fight to enjoy :) The Simivitas have been coasting so far. Then again they are a good match for Jake since they are just about solid melee combat and numbers rather than anything too fancy. Looking forward to seeing if the Rainbowfeather brings something new to the table. Suggested edits: "That monster had been incredibly *power*, fast, and even if" should be "powerful" "show its *true* power in combination with his *true* boosting skills" repetitive phrasing "Arcane Awakening *sprung* to life as" should be "sprang" "His explosive release of power made the Warlord" might just be me but i feel "This explosive" fits better "he’d attacked the Hammermaster with a similar attack" repetitive phrasing "enough in technique to *catch out Jake*." should be "to catch Jake out" "Jake felt the impact as his arms buckled and *powerful force* coursed through his" This seems like weird phrasing to me. Possibly "aftershocks" instead of force ? "*And* in this case, the structure wasn’t even that impressive" You dont need to start this sentence with "And" "a B-grade’s stats all had a higher *efficiently.*"should be "efficiency" "You have ** truly tested the limits" maybe missing word "never" "Jake would have *an* a lot harder time " extra word. Also maybe "much" instead of "lot" "He didn’t have time to truly *look at* it" phrasing is odd here. Maybe "apprehend" instead or "understand what he saw" "with *all* the spectral limbs that surrounded him on all sides" ditch the first "all"

Samuel Nelson

Finding himself completely surrounded, Jake let out a sigh as he smiled. Let’s *do* this. Jake decided to be honest as he answered. “You didn’t do well, no. You have *never* truly tested the limits of your power, but coasted through existence, relying on the natural advantages of being a B-grade. All you truly managed was to make me a little tired.” Zogie, thank you for the chappie!

KenTX325

I think he is about 308 but he has titles, a bloodline, and an altered soul. He is also maxed out on elixirs. The question is how much of a bump is a B grade evolution?

Namorat

"power" should be "powerful", I believe

KenTX325

Or used pride to suppress the spirit attack.

Nathan Holliday

There are two moves he can use to get out at minimum using shadow or an arcane mana wave plus he also has moment meaning that bird is going to have an “at that minute moment they knew” moment.

Nathan Holliday

Will Jake even have to use moment or shadow to get out of that. I wouldn’t be shocked if he just sent out an arcane mana wave and side stepped the bird while grabbing its neck with touch. Honestly, they both probably dead within three paragraphs.

Cyranosaurus

Dang!! Serious plot twist. Bird battle tomorrow or does Jake escape and recover!?!?

Sylphie

REE!

ABTelford

Uh oh, real danger!….yay! 😈

One Winged Angel

"RESPECT THE 1V1 YOU SNIPING BIRD BITCH!!!!"- Jake, Slayer of the Monke

PatienceHoney

Suggested Edit: >Jake had approached this fight with a lot of expectations and *foresight.* >Jake had approached this fight with a lot of expectations and *forethought.* Although the two words are somewhat considered synonymous, in a world with magic I think foresight has connotations of magically seeing the future rather than just thinking about the future.

Fix

Pretzel Warrior

Well was supposed to be one b grade but is this gonna be a unplanned islands culling by one dude lol hopefully the other b grades are smarter clearly the rainbow isn't thinking he has the advantage attacking Jake after a fight

Omar Jimenez

“Let’s go this.” Doesn’t really have much of an impact. Sounds weird.

joel southard

Thank you for the chapter

Tom C

2 for the price of 1. Jake gonna stomp that birdbrain into the floor as well. Fucker is asking for a healthy dose of death!

Shai182

TFTC! Another Spicy Chiken for the gril!

Alexander C Hyde

“Your level... is it a lie?” the Warlord asked after several minutes passed, and the green fur of the B-grade was (not) matted with blood. ( Delete selected word.)

C0bra$

Thank u for the story

Daniel is ŁØNE

Wow the rainbow feather is going to really fucking regret this.

Andyr98

Atleast he didn't pull this on Friday

Kristopher Hanson

*TYPO* When warlord summons army and boosts himself jake says "LETS GO THIS" should be lets do this right lol?

Tom C

Ahh I get it. Simivita - simian vitality Hence the high vitality stat. Don’t mind me, just a bit slow on the uptake!🤦‍♂️😂 TFTC 👍

Kelvin Garcia

Come on Jake you had to see that final attack coming!

Imox

Tyftc

Mohammed Sheekh

Is a level 349 jake, stronger than weak b grades but equal to mid grade?

Jules Deathwish

Was that your comment a few chapters back? I'm to lazy to go hunting for it, but someone guessed this exact scenario.

Imox

"Even if one counted the fact that a B-grade’s stats all had a higher efficiently" -> efficiency

MistuhBogan

You bastard!! It was just getting good!

Imox

"let's go this" -> "let's do this"? Or "let's go with this"

Temlat

OMV, double B’s!

Ty Cooper

Lol I guessed this would happen and i am so looking forward to it! The build up makes me think and hope this fight will give him some upgrades. Tftc!

Daniel Jackson-Woods

MrCynical

Wow. I think the rainbow feathers did the impossible. They managed to be bigger assholes than Geese.

Jaydan Man

Now that's good writing. I thought the bird would have been a little while away. This is now definitely a fight where he can make his skills evolve.

Rocotrap

Welp that Ape just couldn't do it so he did a baton pass

Brandon Arrowood

I love this series so much!

Phoenixdrop

Welp looks like Jake will get a half decent fight out of this after all but yeah really I just hope he continues his trend of killing something higher grade than him in one shot even if it is pretty weak for its grade like that C-grade rabbit thing was like once you start hitting B-grade that’s got to start giving titles

Thorias

"Finding himself completely surrounded, Jake let out a sigh as he smiled. Let’s go this." Should be "Let's do this."

Dan

Here's that difficult B grade fight he wanted. I'm REALLY looking forward to the rest of this week's chapters now!

brjenness

It can be a help to zog, but I dislike two types. The late ones hours after post and it been mentioned 25 times. And the ones where they write 3 paragraphs to suggest 1 word be changed.

Admorias

Finding himself completely surrounded, Jake let out a sigh as he smiled. Let’s go this. Should be (Let’s do this.)

Clint

Let’s go this!

Jake decided to be honest as he answered. “You didn’t do well, no. You have (not) truly tested the limits of your power, but coasted through existence, relying on the natural advantages of being a B-grade. All you truly managed was to make me a little tired.”

Uh oh.

Let's do this!

HPSCAR

It is efficiency, in earlier books it was explained that in higher grades each stat point you have works more efficiently and does more

Abdulaziz ALRumaih

Damn, Did not expect this fight so soon.

Cory S.

Uh oh. Eternal shadow to get out of the grasp of the ape and avoid the attack of the bird?

Sammot

Tftc!

Thanks for the chappy

Eric Shivak

Your level... is it a lie?” the Warlord asked after several minutes passed, and the green fur of the B-grade was (not) matted with blood

Eric Shivak

Even if one counted the fact that a B-grade’s stats all had a higher efficiently. (Efficiency)

Pheo

- " Let’s go this." ->Let’s do this. (My bad) - Even if one counted the fact that a B-grade’s stats all had a higher efficiently. - Should probably be 'efficiency'?

PDDG Glaser

Let's do this

Eric Shivak

Finding himself completely surrounded, Jake let out a sigh as he smiled. Let’s go this. (Let's go! ??)

Arrogant Savant

I can't feel any tension from Jake as he was being "restrained"

Arieh Sochaczevski

Thanks for the chapter! So… a brawler with a ghostly army at his command? Is Jake fighting Sung Jinwoo?

GuyWhoReadsALot

Probably meant "Let's do this" not "Let's go this."

IntenseSushi

Tftc and b-grade sandwich

Eden

tftc, but there were quite a few spelling mistakes, hope you fix them before publishing it

Doodlenoodle

TFTC! Correction. You have (NEVER) truly tested the limits of your power, but coasted through existence, relying on the natural advantages of being a B-grade.

Unwillingmainer

Looks like someone is interrupting the party to get some revenge. Let's hope this next fight is better than the last.

Straat Junon

Oh boy. Guess his time stop ability might be needed here. Tyfc

Unlisted Pokémon Hudson

Jake getting jumped makes sense I guess. Needs some challenge.

Bob Fight

A new challenger appears

Winterspite

> green fur of the B-grade was not matted with blood. I think this should be "now" instead of "not"

Straat Junon

"Even if one counted the fact that a B-grade’s stats all had a higher efficiently" should say efficiency? Not 100% sure

Canis

Gotta give props for Jake's honest assessments of the fight.

SCHWING PAPI

B-GRADE SCHWING!!

That monster had been incredibly power(ful)
