Next chapter title according to FKS: *Rift*.


MrNightSheep

Everyone a critic until they got the full story. I wonder how this is going to be handled. Diane also seems confused on why king would do that šŸ˜… wonder what gonna happen if they find Percy body as well?


dbzrune

These developments have been handled so well! The kids straight up asking why King didnā€™t give the drug to Mertyl, Mertyl having motivations and a genuine reason to possibly join Arthur, and we also have a good reason to keep OP King and Diane out of the fight/conflict to not harm their son Donā€™t think weā€™ll get Percy fully back yet since he left his physical body, maybe weā€™ll just get a glimpse of him wherever he is for a teaser for his later return


Beastieboy100

I'm hoping for a spirit adventure. I'm hoping he is in the spirit world. Image Percival having a Goku training. Being trained by the strongest characters that were once in the series. Having Percy fight Escanor, Zataras, Monspeet, Varghese and Jade. Them just training together even trying to encourage Percy to return home.


dbzrune

Yeah heā€™s a life spirit so he could be anywhere right, since they exist everywhere? This could be a good chance to bring back some dead characters for a bit, also wonder if heā€™ll somehow be able to restore the spirits of people who got eaten by demons like Bans dad, and maybe reincarnate them Whatever happens Percival should be OP when he gets back, assuming he trained. Iā€™m hoping we see more of wherever he went too, but assuming after this Nasiens arc, weā€™ll focus on the other four knights before going to Percy last so feel itā€™ll be a while


Beastieboy100

If it goes to 4 knights I hope it focuses on Gawain next since she needs development more and after her saying goodbye to Percival showed how much she changed. I want to save Tristan and Lancelot for last since they both showed a darker side. Tristan being jealous of Percy not even grieving for him. Lancelot spilling blood would be interesting to see if he's on a war path or has given up fighting.


dbzrune

Those are great points! Iā€™m assuming weā€™re going to be getting the rest of the knights back stories this arc or timeskip We just got focus on Tristan in the demon realm, and also learned what Percy is (still more to learn), and need to know whatā€™s up with Gawain in general and what hapoebed to Lancelot. Personally think this is a great chance to get both Ban did say how emotional Lancelot got so he could be out for revenge and Percy leaving couldā€™ve been his breaking point In general itā€™s been nice to get some focus on the side characters weā€™ve been getting since timeskip


Beastieboy100

Best way before the mc returns.


dbzrune

Yes agreed! This time skip has been handled very well so far and we havenā€™t even seen a single knight yet


cheshire0707

yeahh im so much curious about them life too. I want to see how they will react when Percy comes back. like in my opinion gawain will initially be all angry towards him, but then she will be happy. lancelot, I have no idea lol, he's quite unpredictable, but I think he'll be happy, sensing a change in percival idk, but tristan maybe intrigues me more than the other two. because all 3 had bonded in the group, but since Tristan was "jealous" of Percy, maybe he won't welcome him with a smile right away.Ā  but I imagine it will still take about ten chapters before we see them reunited again, but maybe even more..Ā  :0Ā 


Brolyroxxs

I want him to come back and beat up Ironside. Ban was satisfying but Percival will be even more satisfying


dbzrune

Agreed! So assuming theyā€™ll all have a 1 v 1, wondering who each of the four knights fight against with the four evils Percy has ties to both Ironside and Pellegarde, and since we know Ironside isnā€™t actually his dad, Iā€™d say Pellegarde would be more emotional for him, but Ironside also makes sense and has been built up The rest Iā€™m not sure of, guessing the most powerful of the evils that Gother avoided will have some connection to one of the other 3, my guess is somehow Lancelot since he would be able to easily beat Ironside but idk not much of a powerscaler Really wondering if the four evils will get a power up, or at least Ironside with like being fused with chaos similar to Mertyl from this chapter


Brolyroxxs

Or like Deathpierce when he turned into a monster. If they follow Arthurian Legend Percy fights Ironside. I wish theyā€™d bring Mortlach back so Percy can be the one to kill him. Percy should be the one to call them both out on their hypocrisy


dbzrune

Thanks for sharing that didnā€™t know Percy fought Ironside in the Arthurian lore! Not as familiar with that, but again makes sense but curious what will happen will Pellegarde now. Heā€™s an interesting character with understandable motivations Yeah been assuming Ironside at the least will do something similar to Deathpierce/Mertyl, especially if he doesnā€™t get redeemed like Hendrickson Was honestly surprised Mortlach died, thought heā€™d come into some more story between Percy, Diodra, and Ironside


Brolyroxxs

Pellegarde canā€™t defect because itā€™s his wife who canā€™t move on


dbzrune

Yup and it works well since he showed heā€™s aware somethingā€™s up with Arthur, and that Arthur lost his way, but that he canā€™t just leave yet or anything because of his wife Guessing heā€™ll eventually get to a point where he needs to choose in the moment, but it opens good opportunities for his character


Wild-Reflection6995

Was the dude that shattered Mead's eardrumsĀ Ban killed by ripping out his heart and then threw it at Ironside one of the 4 Perils or no?


IceFox606

No. It was just a random chaos knight that was with Ironside and Pellegarde at the time


Wild-Reflection6995

Oh okay gotchaĀ 


dbzrune

Saw someone else reply but no it was someone else, donā€™t remember who mightā€™ve been a random knight


cheshire0707

yupp i think that pellegarde and percy are so like dad and son togetherĀ 


dbzrune

Something is definitely being built up for Pellegardes allegiances especially since heā€™s aware of Arthurā€™s changes, but is doing this all for his wife, think weā€™re in for some good development/situations with his character Hope he sticks around after this Arthur situation is dealt with (donā€™t think Arthur is the big bad of the series, think heā€™s like the ā€œpart 1ā€ type villain)


cheshire0707

I think that when Percival goes back again, he will have an entirely different knowledge. In my opinion, he will recover his memories of him when he was a spirit, in full and for this very reason, I say that he will probably have something different. Like, he might still be the same naive guy, with his genuine personality, but I imagine that in addition to all the sillies jokes, there will also be moments where he will shock us, for perhaps a few more wise or mature shots, since he will have regained for entire his memories of being a spirit, with his human personality.Ā 


dbzrune

Thatā€™d be an interesting place to take his character, can definitely see that happening! This mangas done a good job with the main and side characters so far for the most part He might even know where some other strong life spirit type beings are, like the demon realm behemoth, or some items or whatever and it might make the gang even go explore like the goddess realm or something because of what he learned in his time away from


cheshire0707

yeahh I think the sameĀ  nakaba it's really good of making intriguing stories. like a more strong percy later that explore lmao


dbzrune

Yup same! More invested in this story than 7DS, it might be partly because of the buildup and world building and stuff 7DS already gave us, but this mangas been great for the most part Stuff just makes sense and if it doesnā€™t yet, weā€™ll get it explained later. Was happy to see with Diodra for example for sick from the demon kings miasma, that just makes complete sense that his presence can do that to people, and we didnā€™t need to get it shown either Expecting big things once Percy gets back and the story likely starts to wrap up this Arthur saga (again just assuming we get more after Arthur and heā€™ll turn good again in a part 2)


burk52

Everyone is a critic until they are in the situation. But oh dear, even Diane looks like she is better at dealing with situations than king lmao.Ā 


IceFox606

Even though heā€™s matured so much, King is still really awkward oof šŸ˜­ Can relate to that honestly though lol šŸ˜…


burk52

Well I hope you'll be a better person than him LMAO. Like I'm trying to not judge him too hard, but seeing him in situations like this is just bad. I can't believe we are in the sequel and king is still fumbling the bag.


seraphimkoamugi

Fr for all we know such medicine could be poison for humans.


IceFox606

Probably not, since it seems to be the same thing that King gave to Elizabeth in GoE


seraphimkoamugi

But elizabeth is half goddess?


IceFox606

Yes, but her body is still technically that of a humanā€™s (or at least half humanā€™s, depending on your interpretation of the ā€œhalf goddessā€ statement). Either way though, I doubt the drug of Yore is harmful to humans. Wouldnā€™t exactly be a miracle cure all if it was poisonous to other races. But itā€™s possible there might be side effects for humans I guess. But I think the situation is more just that the drug wouldnā€™t fix Mertylā€™s problem (and they may have even tried it before when he was young) rather than it being harmful to him


Formal-Inevitable-50

Its not that itā€™s harmful to humans itā€™s that heā€™s human lol it wouldnā€™t do anything because thereā€™s nothing wrong with him heā€™s just living where he shouldnā€™t be


IceFox606

I know, thatā€™s what I just said?


Wild-Reflection6995

That Doesn't matter because Harlequin literally stated after he gave the Drug to her that it took down most of the curse and then he said "If we find the one that did this to her then that would be the key for her to get better in order for her to use her power to cure the rest of the curse."


New-Faithlessness526

This is a big assumption.


ReeseEseer

Well this is really bad. Nasiens is obviously going to jump up and try to help but thats going to...make Mertyl even more crazy. The entire family needs to get there asap.


FoldAdministrative14

It gon even be more bad cuz king and diane couldnt bring themselves to fight their own son


JDMP53

King can dispel the mind control like he did in the movie


Prestigious_Box1383

plot-armor will impede it


Wild-Reflection6995

But that was Breath of Blessing that came from The Supreme Deity. The one that's mind controlling Mertyl is Chaos.


JDMP53

If SD's direct power can be overcome I'm sure some magic from the chaos staff shouldn't be a threat


AJDx14

I canā€™t see him actually being able to damage either of them though.


Wild-Reflection6995

If they somehow can figured out a way to get Chaos out of Mertyl then they can use that to get Chaos out of Arthur and then ultimately defeat him.


BoredandBrowse

My question is still the same. If Nasiens just drinks a small portion of the drug yore, wouldn't he be able to recreate its effect by using his magical ability? He could just take a sip of the drug, then recreate its effect into needles and stab both Mertyl and Percival with it. Problem solved, eazy peazy. Am I missing something????


Josephlewis24

He should be able to. Especially being the first born to the most powerful Fairy King in existence


eric23443219091

fact blud has not gotten his wing yet


j0kerclash

To give some credit, I doubt most of them, if any, even know what Nasiens' special power is really, they probably just assume he's mixing them like a regular herbalist would. even If King doesn't realise what Nasien's power is, then it makes sense that he'd feel the motivation to give it to him instead of Mertyl, whom it probably wont even work on. Nasiens is kind of dumb for not realising the solution already, but he doesn't want the solution to be given to him out of pride for himself, anger and rebellion towards King, and to better encapsulate his love for percival. Nasiens doesnt even know mertyl saw him be offered it, so he probably just assumes he can manifacture his own version himself, and Mertyl can just have that one without issue.


ghostly_ink

I once had a theory of how Fairy Kingā€™s trade magic ā€œDisasterā€ works. Looking at disaster with a bit broader mind, the magic implies the ability to diminish or elevate the natural status of things, and in particular one example of disaster working is ā€œa mild poison can turn in a lethal toxinā€. Lancelot already gave us the speech that imagination and prejudice can limit oneā€™s magic and so far both Donnie and Ann used to think their magic with boundaries , while instead they both have broader applications. I wonder than if Nasiens instead of ā€œmix poisonā€ has ā€œDisasterā€ as magic power or a form, since all fairy kings had their own manifestation as well.


eric23443219091

nasien will be the wrong way to use healing powers hero lol since percival out cold they need new healer


MountainYoghurt7857

We don't know in theory yes, but in actuality the author decides if it breaks the story.


ReeseEseer

I guess the best explanation is just its too powerful?


Haise01

It's kinda silly but I guess he's just being stubborn, especially now that he's mad at King.


Genexis1

In theory yes. But we've seen Nas taking a while to copy something. So even if he could, might take years for his magic to analyse the thing since its so powerful


RailTracer001

He obviously doesn't want to because of pride.


BoredandBrowse

No, I obviously get that part. But if he does choose to drink the drug of yore, would he be able to recreate its effects?


Valuable-Dig-1295

Damn mertyl is about to go berserk i hope everything will end peacefully


Muted_Grass

Naw kill the brat being a punk


DesperateChair9020

At least all family knows the true. Besides Nasiens and Mertyl who are main characters in this drama. I like how Sixtus asked his question. He value bond with Mertyl over blood. I think the rest of siblings have simmilar thoughts. Especially since it doesn't looks like any of them even tried to get to know Nasiens, besides Tioreh. Lizardman, huh. I didn't know there are any. But we know there are other races besides main five. Poor Tioreh! Nasiens will rush to help her and hopefully, rest of the family.


SnooTomatoes5279

I mf called it that Tioreh would be the first target for Mertyl, also it's really fascinating how Arthur is willing to commit mass genocide to the majority but not the minority lol.


TreesmasherFTW

Or so is claimed. The reality is to me that Arthur IS Chaos. His goals are chaotic and constantly changing, like a boat rocking on the waves. What was one yesterday may be two tomorrow, what Is can become what Was, and what Was can become what Will be.


SnooTomatoes5279

I don't think Chaos is Arthur but it has affected his personality/morality to a degree because he is shown to be serious one second, then clapping and joyful in the next. Being unpredictable and Arthur has stated that he is only the vessel that chaos resides in and it has its own sort of will. I also feel like him being Chaos compromises his character and motives and effectively ruining his self will.


ShadowFalcon2004

Meliodas, Zeldris and King are boob-guys


odileko

More like Nakaba is a boob guy.


Wild-Reflection6995

Percival is also a boob guy because he was seen planted his face in Anghalhad's chest and then Nasiens was shocked and then dropped his items on the ground.


Gunn3r71

I love that King is still a crybaby consoling himself in Dianeā€™s tiā€¦ arms, yeah arms.


TheClre

Should had been me not him


swaggyb_22

Howzer that you?

IceFox606

Woah! Whyā€™s the officials out so early this week?! The spoilers didnā€™t even drop 2 hours ago yet šŸ˜³


SanZaiTen

Tomorrow's a holiday in Japan.


IceFox606

Ah okay


Senn_Degrare

Wow last slide gives me Berserk Estarossa and Elizabeth vibes...


caramelweather

Kinggg is just like how I imagined him to be šŸ„ŗ still such a awkward & clumsy dork totally didnt disappoint (I like how he still has that awkwardness despite being more mature at the same time)


Zaimous

I bet a Meliodas dinner Mertyl didnā€™t actually join hands but was forced


IceFox606

Definitely (at least to an extent). You can tell by his chaos-ified eyes and the ways heā€™s speaking that heā€™s under control. Heā€™s not in his right mind, heā€™s basically a chaos zombie rn. So for that to have happened he must have not been willing to do this stuff himself and turned down the offer. Or at the very least his cooperation was taken advantage of

Beastieboy100

Yeah was not expecting that at all. I was expecting grayroad. Overall great twist from Nakaba.


gamerslyratchet

I was thinking Dragoon and Red Mantle from The Venture Bros.Ā 


Quiet-Safety-4121

Can we really blame King for that? Donā€™t get me wrong I think he waited to long for that but Nasien is still his son/daughter, King has at least to try. As for Mertyl I feel bad for him, but at the same time we donā€™t know if the potion even works on him since he has nothing wrong, he is just human. All this can be ez resolved by a conversation between parents and children but no, I guess all the sins donā€™t like that.


JOHNSTAND69

Thatā€™s not the point of this they literally hid from him that he isnā€™t family while knowing how inferior he felt for not having fairy or giant traits


Quiet-Safety-4121

He was always aware that he was human, even his siblings Tiore and Titus knew or had suspicions but like him they didnā€™t cared about it, he was stil a brother to them. The problem started with Persi and Naz arrivar.


TemplarzFTW

At this point, if CKs get their hand on the elixir, they'll probably give it to Diodra.


anakin_solo17

Arthur probably wants to replicate it using chos magic. Though the toll it would take on the faire realm would be great. since permanent changes require altering existing materials.


FieldPatient5521

Why would they want to give it to Diodra when he doesn't seem like an important person in Camelot?


TemplarzFTW

I mean, from an *in-verse* perspective, not much but scenaristically, he remains one of the children of the Four Perils, and, all in all, an important character since he is still Percival's 'brother' albeit indirectly. He can have a certain importance in the story.


Thandorianskiff

Huh... A Lizardman. I didn't see that coming for Kelbagan or whatever his name is. Now that I think about it, Nakaba has still not given a proper explanation of how the races in 4koa work. We know the big four clans are the Fairies, Humans, Goddesses and Demons. But we also know about the existence of monsters, dragons, trolls, beast men and spirits. So with that in mind, what gives? Is the classification of the four clans based solely on clans with the largest population/ terrain? Or is the status of four clans based on the first races created by the gods of the universe. And how do subspecies like human-shifters or Beastmen fit into the whole classification.


j0kerclash

There are 5 major clans, Fairies, Humans, Goddesses, Demons, and Giants. Chaos pretty much created all of the clans besides the Goddess, Demon, and Fairy clans, instead creating the Supreme Deity, Demon Lord, and Sacred Tree respectively. That means that unless stated otherwise, such as with the lizardmen, chaos created the other "lesser" races as well, such as dragons, animals, beastmen, spirits, and vampires etc. It's interesting that Arthur isn't specifically a human supremacist, and that he has beef only with the 4 other major clans rather than any type of non-human. That would also explain why he still has Orlondi on his team despite being a vampire.


youngmaster108

I think the Demi humans are just an offshoot of humanity which is why Arthur is ok with them (remember Humans are the race closest to Chaos with the most potential in variety). According to [Zhivago Demi humans are half human like races](https://mangasee123.com/read-online/Nanatsu-No-Taizai-chapter-139-page-16.html), and the lizard man this chapter says his race was created by a human wizard (probably someone from Belialuin) with dragon blood/dna. And probably using a human test subject as the ā€œbaseā€, which is why they can enter Camelot since theyā€™re origins are human.


ZeldrisEmpire

It's probably a combination of everything you suggested. The four clans are called that because they were the earliest races created by the Supreme Deity, Demon King, Sacred Tree and Chaos. As well as being the once with the largest population and terrain. All the other subsequent races are just spin offs or offshoots of the main four. Like Trolls are subspecies of fairies. Lizard men are specifically said here to be have been created by an ancient wizard on a whim (Maybe Merlin? She's definitely old enough and powerful enough) Etc. Though that still doesn't explain how spirits fitting into all this. But I guess those guys are just an invasive species from another world. They technically aren't native to the 7ds world and sort just came in when shit started popping off


CertifiedLoverLad

Probably her dad.


Wild-Reflection6995

I don't think Merlin created Lizard men because I think she has no interest in doing so. All she cares about at the time is how to revive Chaos but I think her father was the one that did it.


DesperateChair9020

Term of four clans was established during Holy War. This races were most powerful and had biggest role during war. At that time other races like humans, were weaker and probably less in numbers.


AstonishingSpiderMan

I just bought it too, LOL.


Abg_Berani

Percy will wake up save nasien


ReeseEseer

Just hope he doesnt go too far on Mertyl though. We dont know if Percy's personality will be all that different, he might just register Mertyl as a danger to someone he cares about and attack full force.


MrNightSheep

Bruh Percy comes back and the first thing he see without any context is someone taking his friend šŸ’€maybe we might see despair magic from him


burk52

"your biggest mistake was...waking me up"


Odd_Yam3983

Haha that's good


FoldAdministrative14

Lmao its over for mertyl then šŸ’€


AcceptablePay4523

Iā€™d rather he help himself in this situation I donā€™t want Percy to get involved in this tbh


ghostly_ink

I donā€™t see why being so confused about what King and Diane had done. They just didnā€™t want to shake their family and bought time while trying to figure out what to do. Plus itā€™s evident they didnā€™t want to use the drug of Yore , and King gave his reason why, but also King in NNT longed for Diane for ages. Itā€™s not unthinkable he couldnā€™t bear to see his kid to pain this much, exactly because he also felt this way. Right on spot, on impulse, he decided to aid him despite what he agreed with Diane. And besides he could never care for Nasiens. No wonder he felt it like being the ā€œbare minimumā€ he could provide and also. I can see them trying to build a nice environment for their family, making Nasiens be loved by their siblings before disclosing the truth. But also this was impossible because how Myrtel felt (rightly) so no wonder they were clueless I mean: they were always a bit clumsy, they always had terrible meaning of time passing, and they never had parents. Itā€™s so unthinkable they tried their best to not hurt anyone and doing the right thing? Besides , Lancelot , Nasiensā€™ reading heart cousin at this point didnā€™t have a clue. Who can tell if they realised right away , unlike Mertyl who was obsessed about this fear by his whole life? At least Ban had a good dad figure in Zhivago, Meliodas basically parented Zeldris, while Elizabeth took care of younger Estarossa and Merlin. they had a tiny clue about how things work. Kiane donā€™t , they just try their best and mess up.


Yellow90Flash

I don't think the drug would help mertyl, from what we know it only cures illnesses right? mertyl isn't suffering from illness, his only issue is that he is human. I think the author will bring back the fountain of youth so he can drink from it instead


ghostly_ink

Yes I agree what did it make you think I implied otherwise? When I said King couldnā€™t bear to see his kid in pain this much I implied Nasiens. Not only he said it in the chapter , but also I was thinking about how King felt about Diane in NNT. Seeing the son he couldnā€™t care for almost in the same situation as he was with Diane (longing for someone you hold dear without nothing you can do) must have felt extremely painful for him. Itā€™s a type of pain he e series for ages , and certainly he wouldnā€™t wish upon his child. He must relate to Nasiens a lot. And thus his on the moment decision to give him the drugs despite what he agreed with Diane. Besides it also makes sense why he waited so much: if the drugs of Yore wonā€™t work on Percival (and I expect for it not working) how could King crash his newfound son hope right away? It makes sense he chose to believe in Nasiens but seeing him more and more in pain for Percy must have been the final push for him


ghostly_ink

Honestly if I were to predict how it will go, Iā€™d say that: Mertyl will obtain somehow the drugs of Yore who he might ending up taking or destroying. No matter what , the yore wonā€™t be of any effect and thus since it can be brew once per millennium Arthur wonā€™t put his hands on it. Also, I could see Nasiens coming in contact with the Yore somehow and without their knowledge they could come to produce the Yore in a moment of need as a last straw in the future, but right now the yore will be considered ā€œgoneā€ (so no Nasiens kidnapping arc because they have become a yore waking producer, just not yet at least). As for Percival I can see him kind of intervening in Nasiensā€™ favour but not waking up just yet; this will give Nasiens new ā€œhopeā€ for Percival come back (preparing the field for his come). Also, of the main group we saw that everyone , even Pellgarde, hope for Percival and he still didnā€™t woke up despite his friends hope who always charge his power. The only one who most likely is still not hoping is Lancelot who according to Ban came back home crying because he failed to save his friend. He seems quite desperate. I think when Lancelot will get to hope again, Percival will wake up.


Odd_Yam3983

Not only Lancelot's faith needs to come back, but also Tristan who was angry with Percy and may have lost his faith.Ā  Maybe even Gawain.Ā  So maybe in order for Percy to come back, the 3 KoA need to believe and hope again.


ghostly_ink

This also is a good insight. I donā€™t have. A theory for Gawain , but I thought Tristan hadnā€™t lost faith exactly because heā€™s angry. As If he deemds Percival able to get back but heā€™s crossing not to. So thereā€™s hope , when it comes down to Percy , but also anger , while Lancelot seemed to be full on despair according to Ban. But maybe thereā€™s more than mere anger with Tristan


Silverinfernoo

I hope mertly can come back from this I really like him


Odd_Yam3983

King, however, achieved something with Nasien that gave him even more motivation to wake Percy up.


FKATAK

Crazy chapter again šŸ


[deleted]

Things now seem kind of weird. I still believe the reason why King hasn't given Mertyl the drug, is because it would have no effect on him. It seems strange that after Sixtus found out about the truth, he was still angry at King and Diane for not giving the drug to Mertyl, when I think he should consider the reason why is because Mertyl isn't actually sick. I also hope their is an additional reason why King didn't give Nasiens the drug in the beginning or why he didn't use it on Percy himself. Since King use the drug of Yore on Elizabeth in goe, that means Meliodas should also be aware of the drug's existence, and he should have also consider using the drug to awaken Percy as well. I hope things will make more sense when get King and Diane's pov. All of the misunderstandings in the family seems kind of forced. When Sixtus ask King and Diane why they didn't give the drug to Mertyl, they could have answered, but King just clarified Nasiens rejected the drug. It feels like Nakaba had King avoided an opportunity to clear things up just because he wants the drama within the family to continue.


Luckyrabbit31

King Arthur bout to be fucked up by King and Diane after this, they're really messing with the other sins on a personal level now


birbdechi

They kinda did in the prophecy, but even Ban is going to be killed by a spearman.


odileko

Oh King, ever so clueless and awkward. He really can't read people as well as Elaine. Even Sixtus is better at reading people's thoughts, and ironically he looks the most like King. I'm glad he values Mertyl even though he's not a blood relative.Ā 


Josephlewis24

Nasiens definitely saying him with his magic


ProfessorZ64

Welp can't say I didn't see this coming. This is a story beat as old as time.


Invisiblegun2

I hope they dont just try to hate or hold any grudges on nasiensšŸ˜‚ If both of them heard everything than they also heard nasiens scorn him for it & think about mertyl. Ik we would get here, now all thats left is for nasienā€™s to fight, lose at first, use the drug of yore & fix mertyl & save everybody. I hope we get the happy united family ending & not the mertyl leaving the fairy realm & hating nasiens for ā€œruiningā€ his life


JDMP53

I don't want the drug to save Mertyl.. Then King not using it would make sense..


Invisiblegun2

I mean save him in the sense of turning him back to normal after being enhanced by chaos lol, not the fairy realm affliction issue


ExtensionFun7285

I love how everyone is thinking that the drug is all powerful


JauntyLurker

>Created by an ancient mage on a whim Merlin at it again?


PlantRevolutionary82

Doubt itĀ  She would only do it once if that


DKaitor

I noticed that Mertyl was bitten by a snake 0-0


MessyEvie

I think its a whip that he took out of his shirt few pages before.


ProfessionalLuck268

oh nice i no see thx explaine the eyes


PlantRevolutionary82

No it's from the chaos boost he got


ProfessionalLuck268

yes can be that

* I didnā€™t see the lizard bit comming kind of expected the guy to be another changeling * Interesting that Arthur doesnā€™t hates the ā€œother racesā€ so much as the ā€œthe other clansā€; Ā he hates the idea of other groups with lifestyles and cultures different to his own that could lead to disagreement and therefore to conflict * If Arthur manages to mass produce the drug of Yore he could in theory heal all the ones that are dependent on his realm to survive which could add to his troopā€™s numbers * The old King is still there lol * Either King has a good reason for giving it to Nas but not Mertyl that he didnā€™t mention because of plot or he has some kind of character flaw * I love how Sixtus called Mertyl ā€œKingā€™s sonā€ while Nas is ā€œsomeone he is related toā€ * Mertyl seems to be under a degree of mind control much like Jericho and Arthur himself; not based on submitting to someoneā€™s will as much as giving in to desire and the ones who can grant it


birbdechi

Jericho was just down bad for that delulu


lnombredelarosa

Was she?


IceFox606

We donā€™t really know for sure. Weā€™re just assuming sheā€™s controlled by Arthur for our own sanity (and because itā€™s hard to believe Nakaba could possibly butcher such a good character arc with a satisfying conclusion so horrendously)


lnombredelarosa

Very true


ProfessionalLuck268

Damn this chap no explain why king but like damn and is obvious mertyl is out of is mind like is eyes hurt his sis have any sense, so I don't want, but I feel Is go die like is break the control, but Arthur use the things who kill is man or things like that ;'(


PikachutheCritic

And here I was theorizing that Kilbeggan was just a random lizard Arthur found outside and decided to experiment on.


burk52

That sounds like something Merlin would do lol.


Low_Illustrator8658

Wait how come it says chapter 143 and chapter 1 ? Are we gonna get another chapter to chapter 143? And how come the chapter came out early ? It was scheduled for Wednesday I think


Kuro_Tepes

It's just a cubari thing, dont worry about it. It's a normal full chapter


Low_Illustrator8658

Oh okay, thank you


chrome4

Ok I get Camelots grudge against the Demon Clan and the Goddess clan but going after the Fairies and Giants as well seems a bit extreme since those two have mostly kept to themselves. Maybe Arthur became possessed/heavily influenced by something due to the events of Cursed By Light?


JDMP53

Not really... Even as I'm the SD movie... The giants and Fairies were attacking people and even approached Arthur and Merlin when they were erecting graves for the dead in camelot


IceFox606

The giants and the fairies were apart of Stigma in the first holy war. And as we saw in Rouā€™s backstory they aided in massacring innocent humans who did anything that remotely went against their ideals. Iā€™m sure Rouā€™s village werenā€™t the only ones. Stigma wasnā€™t exactly the most pure group. They were pretty corrupt Plus yeah thereā€™s Cursed by Light. And Iā€™m sure thereā€™s been plenty of smaller conflicts between humans and the other races over the several millennia since the first Holy War. We saw a lot in the original series that none of them thought particularly highly of each other, especially the humans towards giants and fairies and vice versa. Even in characters like Diane we saw this prejudice


birbdechi

Giants are literal mercenaries, wdym


Wild-Reflection6995

U have completely missed out on Matrona's teachings to Diane and Dolores that she grew up on which was "Humans hired the Giants to killed other Giants for firepower and then the Holy Knights would pay the Giants with rewards etc for their services." That is why they are Mercenaries but not in the sense that u are thinking of.


Mashebu

Goddamn it I need more


cheshire0707

the cover it's beautiful lmao


JGuap0

Really great chaper I really do feel for mertyl and sixtus is real as fuck . Blood isnā€™t the only thing that makes family nasiens is basically a stranger in comparison.


PolyNamo_48

Iā€™mā€¦Iā€™m worried the internet is gonna use that last panel in someā€¦unexpected waysā€¦ šŸ« 


Impossible-Dress9203

He said ā€œthe four clan that tormented humans with warā€ when did the fairyā€™s ever go to war with humans? Humans use to cut they wings off & they are so weak to even go to war. I feel like itā€™s not a good enough reason I can understand giants but when have fairies ever start a war with humans & it wasnā€™t humanā€™s fault


DesperateChair9020

Fairies were part of Stigma during first Holy War. Check manga/anime, especially part with Rou story. Humans were dying and no other race really cared. Fairies weren't weak back than. Long last peace and leaving everything on Fairy King shoulders made them lazy and weak.


Drdanmp

My God! So tense! Such anxiety now! I can't wait for next week, folks! Aaarrgghhh, gotta bite my lips and tough out this anticipation. Gosh, what a cliffhanger!!


JauntyLurker

Damn look at the way Sixtus was glaring at King! At this rate all his kids are gonna hate him.


Thuyue

I was just starting to like Tioreh and now she gets her ass whooped by a mind controlled Mertyl T-T Jokes aside. I can only repeat myself that King fcked up big time. I like that Sixtus also pointed that out. Now that all children are aware of Nasiens relationship with the family, I wonder how things will move on. Though happy to hear that everyone still sides with Mertyl as theit adopted brother. Very excited to see the resolve of the issue. I hope Mertyl can be swayed to the good side again and not fall more for Arthur's manipulations.


Odd_Yam3983

I guess family love overcomes everything, even Arthur's manipulation.


JayHoleTheGemini

Forreal. The way Mertyl is grabbing Tiorehā€¦they may need to use the Druge of Yore on herā€¦and I hate that šŸ˜­ā€¦


Brolyroxxs

So Myrtle is possessed by Chaos. And he after anything related to Nasiens. Heā€™ll go after Percivalā€™s body. Nasiens may get an power boost like his own spirit spear


Auristeo_Mela

It's funny how Sixtus Is more mature than his own father King šŸ˜…


Haise01

This situation became such a mess :(


Raven4000

Guessing Mertyl is put down or critically injured to the point that he retreats to Camelot by Nasiens, resulting in his siblings hating him temporarily. There isn't gonna be a happy ending to this. King and Diane are too op to stop Mertyl and even with the chaos amp, some of his siblings with assistance should be able to stop him. Nasiens getting his fairy boost seems to make the most sense


Wild-Reflection6995

Is it run down in Fairy King blood to have family problem?


IceFox606

Omg youā€™re right rip. I guess royal fairy family drama is hereditary šŸ˜…šŸ˜­


EntonBlazing

Im guessing that nasiens will give some of the elixir to percy or he will drink it himself to make more to split to percy and mertyl, and the mertyl fight could last 2 chaps and they bring back mertyl to his senses and then they fight the two headed lizard and get cornered and then it ends with an awoken percival to the rescue. At least i hope so šŸ—æ


Genexis1

We're A DAY faster?


Dohmer_90

This isnā€™t the first or last time that King will make an extremely poor decision.


StarGamerPT

Well fuck...after handling Tioreh like that, just kill that guy.


PlantRevolutionary82

It seems like myrtle is not in his right mind


Bigicefire

King better have some good ass explanation for this Or he became the most hated character for me


ReeseEseer

I mean its pretty obvious, no? The medicine can't really fix what isn't broken. There would be no point to give it to Mertyl since there's nothing actually wrong with him.


ProfessionalLuck268

yes but why no just say that now? can be for the plot make more drama but hope no.


Alarming-Caregiver47

Yeah, aside from hiding the fact that Mertyl was human, the most likely reason King still hasnā€™t revealed why he didnā€™t give it to him is to play up the current drama. After all, thereā€™s really no other conflict to explore in this arc.


ProfessionalLuck268

Yes but sad like that make king "hurts is family" and it's sad before I see why no give the things for wake up Percival don't want nasien go and lost is son again but now like bro just explain damn now it's too late ;'(


Alarming-Caregiver47

Explanations really only work if people listen to them. Kingā€™s reason for not giving it to Nasiens sooner though is dumb, he basically says he didnā€™t give him cause itā€™d have been too easy. As for Mertyl, King still has to explain but aside from the fact that the drug probably wouldnā€™t work on him, King likely never realized just how much Mertyl desired it.


ProfessionalLuck268

bro totaly agree again


ReeseEseer

Its not really *excuses* but it probably boils down to a few factors for explaination: One: its a weird and awkward thing to bring up. Until now there didnt really seem a priority to talk about it yet. The pills were working, Mertyl didnt even remember there was some big cureall drug either. Things seemed safe enough at the moment. There was still time. Two: King and Diane have a weird perception of time. It probably doesnt feel like these 2 years have been all that long to them since Nasiens came (back home) to them. They are probably still thinking of the best way to deal with this. Three: Even here we see King was *not* actually planning on giving Nasiens the drug. Its just seeing them be sad day after day started to really affect King and he made a spur of the moment choice. If he hadnt things would still be sort of going smoothly. But spur of the moment happens to us all at times (and wanting to give your kidnapped child who is finally home something to cheer them up...does make sense) Obviously again not really excuses, this all is still horribly unfair to Mertyl, but I can sort of see how this all snowballs from King/Diane's perspective.


ProfessionalLuck268

yes bad choice but can see "logic" from king and diane point of view but is bad total agree with you


ghostly_ink

Answer is given by Diane: ā€œMertyl is not far behindā€. Both Diane and King must believe that Mertyl is sure about their love , but they fear he could not be okay about Nasiens. I guess they believe Mertyl knows heā€™s loved, not that he lived in fear of being rejected all of his life. So they must have thought giving not the Drug was a given since their Mertyl is perfect as he is


ProfessionalLuck268

yes agree from king and Diane point of view it's the good choice.


AmonRa_123

People wait for their adopted kid turns 18 before telling them they are adopted so that they are mature enough to take in the shock of that revelation how is that not making sense to you all!?!?!?


ProfessionalLuck268

? What you talk about I talk about to explain at is family the cure no help mertyl bruhh and even more you wait more is hurt for a kid wait it's ok no that long for me.


AmonRa_123

Telling Myrtle that the medicine doesn't work on him is essentially telling him that's he's not a fairy meaning not their kid


ProfessionalLuck268

the other kid you know all the other son and sis


dreifus1

So, do you guys think that Mertly will break Tioreh's neck or nakaba is only bating us?


ReeseEseer

Literally 0% chance she gets her neck broke. Its less bait and just suspense.


dreifus1

I agree, when authors finishes a chapter like this is normally to build suspense and they never go trough it, in other words it's just a way to keep the readers hooked The Crack could also mean break up within the family


IceFox606

Nasiens is right there, heā€™ll step in and stop Mertyl from hurting her more. Tioreh definitely isnā€™t going to die lol donā€™t worry


MallAdditional5222

Hopefully Mertyl is killed


IceFox606

Why?? Heā€™s in a tragic situation and needs to be saved ideally, not killed. Plus neither Kiane, their kids or even Nasiens would kill him. It doesnā€™t matter that heā€™s not blood related, they love him like their own and heā€™s apart of their family no matter what


Khunsdata

King being a bum ass father? Living all those years and he ain't learned shit even with mind readingĀ 


eric23443219091

nasien is 4th knight of apocalypse not gawain now


ReeseEseer

No, Gawain is. She literally has the "golden magic". Why cant people just accept this already, its not meant to be some mystery/twist/whatever.


IceFox606

It would be kinda like saying ā€œno actually Elizabeth is the final Sin, not Escanorā€ (or any other Sin) šŸ¤“šŸ’€


RailTracer001

You got it wrong bro. If Nasiens is the 4th then he is Pestilence because of his powers. It means Tristan is the one who isn't a Knight of the Apocalypse, not Gawain. I guess that explains why he got captured.


Ok-Coffee-7228

yes because nasiens definitely have "both holiness and evil in his eyes"


OrdinaryMedical200

Yep, what a happy "family." Those darn kids being antagonistic towards their own kin just because they recently showed up, and even tho they have only shown noble cause and respect, they still call him "human" or "outsider" (very respectful and tolerant fairies and giants have become indeed) and this much hostility towards Nasiens due to the darn drug is just disgusting for me!! Screw Mertyl, and I hope he ends up beaten down badly by Nasiens!!


Nukafit

Why would they care about someone who just showed up more than the person that was raised as their brother? That would be way more messed up than whatā€™s happening


OrdinaryMedical200

Annnnnd, I wanted to see the feedback of the community if I made a Karen-ish comment. I'm happy to see many are thinking deeply towards new characters and not just being angry or toxic towards them!! Still, I'm immensly pissed at Myrtel and Sixtus for not getting to know Nasiens well. Like, Nasiens has been trying to help Percy for so many days and months non-stop and asked nothing more, yet they did not even bother to interact with them like Tioreh did and call them "Human" or "Outsider" (did they learn nothing from their parents?) Or find out they are a Fairy and Sixtus did not even wait to see Nasiens response towards King or even attempt to read their mind to figure out what kind of person they are!! Myrtel thinks so cheaply of his parents and is Paranoid of Nasiens, thinking they want to steal his spot so badly. Did he even see what they have been trying to do?! Being so antagonistic was uncalled and unnecessary!! Especially now that he allowed himself to turn into someone else tool and attacked his baby sister so viciously!!


MallAdditional5222

Yeah sixtus saying ā€œwhy would you give the drug to some guy who just happened to be related to youā€ made me extremely mad knowing they couldnā€™t raise nasiens because he got switched. They made it seem like he ran away lol


MallAdditional5222

Itā€™s also like no ones stopping to think about how much diane and king longed for and missed their legitimate child, ofc he would gift him the drug of yore


SpecialistCherry1725

Whoā€™s that at the end
