  1. Ok with this many people joining, how insane is the boss fight gonna be? Because royal Army is no pushover but the fights are never easy when Bjorn is involved

  2. I mean, he did expose the fact that he got not one but two single digit numbered itemes in his time in the basement floor, so what did he expect?

  3. 180 people coming in feels like a translation error since it was previously stated the max was 60 before the portal closed.

    Count Saintred is already established as someone who can contemplate an unsavoury alliance with Noark. Because the Village Chief seems like heโ€™s going for possession of Bjornโ€™s body, his intentions are perfectly in line with the Royal Familyโ€™s desire to eliminate him without a public uproar. Time is not on Bjornโ€™s side, but the information war is.

    1. i mean, i posited this possibility last chapter, but it was confirmed that, for each 3 shards that were put in, 60 people could enter, but before now, never had we been told what happened if another set of 3 shards was put in. So given its a factor of 60, they probably just collected the shards needed for entry twice, and put them in, so each group of 60 could enter. This just confirms that there may not be a true 60 person limit, but instead a 60 person per entry ticket limit, where the ticket is the 3 shards. Though, this would mean the only limit for number of people who can enter would be the amount of shards of the correct types, i guess if there was a dedicated team of people farming for the shards constantly, sending them down to a group of 60 to then enter, given the trip from the 3rd to the 1st floor thats needed, i cant imagine there ever being a chance of more than 3 groups of 60 ever entering just cause of time restraints and drop chances. though it would be interesting to see Bjorn return down here later, having recruited several groups of 60 to take all of them down there with him. if Bjorn has his own groups he can trust then who knows what he could do down here, maybe that will be saved for B2, unless theres another limit on entry via some form of a ticket for B2 also, which could be an issue

      1. I was thinking exactly the same thing. Sound theory!

      2. When his clan grows to a massive size (possibly after this expedition) he probably really could do this

  6. Trick them and send them off to meet the โ€œfriendlyโ€ monster village

    1. This. This for sure in some form or another. Either that, or during a clash he will draw them there for a free for all.

  8. Saw that coming. Wouldnโ€™t be surprised if Wolf was Jerome Saintred. That would explain why Gavrilius spared him rather than killing him in the sewers in the past.

    1. Auril Gavis was the one in the sewer. I think Gavrilius was the sage who opened the labyrinth? Might be wrong on that

      1. But Auril Gavis and Gavrilius sound kinda similar. Like Tom Riddle and Voldemort. Hmmmmmmmm?

        1. we also must remember that Auril Gavis was on Earth as well, so clearly, his lifespan is somehow not normal, and hell, maybe Gavis has some ability to possess multiple incarnations, its likely he may be immortal or something else entirely, we really dont know. I wouldnt be surprised if Gavis is Gavrilius, but its still unconfirmed at this point, Gavis could be the disciple of Gavrilius, they could be their kid, they could be unrelated, they might be them, we honestly just cant say for certain yet.

  10. Canโ€™t say I like this, I enjoyed the farming arc, but itโ€™s necessary to the story, also, fuck Saintred

    1. We need to end this manโ€™s whole life here. He had fucked up way too much of Bjornโ€™s plans in the past. Perhaps, clashing him with the Village Chief could somehow work out.

  11. Oh okay looks liked he is fucked. The past thing that could happen for now would be that he somehow manages to explore alone with his Clan + โ€œslavesโ€. If he is not able to leave the 180 man army he is not rlly gonna get a lot of merit essences and other valuable stuff. On the other hand they would be strong enough to clear the whole floor in the next month I assume

    1. Yeah, I kinda expected thisโ€ฆ well I expected theyโ€™d be a group of 60, so 180 exceeds what I thought lol. But still, they outnumber and outrank Bjorn, so either he has to fight for resources, or forfeit them to the Royal company.Iโ€™d take bets on how many chaps until a conflict :PAlsoโ€ฆ throwback to Saintred. โ€œNo way he recognized me right?โ€โ€ฆ why do I feel this is a ticking time bomb..

      1. i feel like theres no way that Saintred will recognize Bjorn right away, only cause its been 20 years, and youd expect people to change and grow older, but Bjorn is technically only like 24? 26? i forget which it is tbh, BUT tbh if Saintred feels that Bjorn looks familiar at all, and realizes that Bjorn looks the same as 20 years ago, that would be hella sus, so i think youre right, this is a ticking time bomb, How long until Saintred just puts 2 and 2 together and flips on Bjorn. Hell, if he has orders to get rid of Bjorn somehow and justify it, maybe Saintredโ€™s plan is to expose Bjorn as some evil creature or non aging monster who worked with Noark, so is therefore a traitor! Iron mask WAS on Noarkโ€™s side on paper, and what better way to justify killing off someone you want dead than painting them as a traitor. ALSO just thought of this. But Even though Bjorn didnt know him properly early on in his life, as Bjorn rose to prominence, gained fame, and more, Saintred would have already seen Ironmask Bjorn in the past, Heโ€™s a knight also, so wouldnt he potentially have been there when Bjorn earned the Knight Crusher title? therefore seeing Bjorn properly before Bjorn even WAS iron mask, but to Saintred, would have been many years later. So Saintred may have put things together before Bjorn even went to the past omg. Depending on when Saintred realized, either before now or hasnt yet, will really change what happens next i think

        1. Man, I hadnโ€™t even thought about pre-time skip Bjorn catching a sus from Saintred… Then again, he might be high up enough to not have been at the knight crusher event. Still, heโ€™d probably be at the ceremonies, etc for Bjorn's nuneeous promotions and rewards.
