The Legend of Sun Knight Volume 5: The Undying Lich, Part One

Original novel in Chinese by: 御 我 (Yu Wo)


The Sixth Misdeed of an Undying Lich: “Slaughtering the Innocent” – translated by raylight

In the middle of the night while I was sleeping soundly, there was a sudden knock on my door. I woke up almost immediately; no one would interrupt my sleep in the middle of the night unless it was for a serious matter.

I quickly yelled, “Wait, let me put on my shirt!”… But the very next second, the door was sent flying with a kick, subsequently crashing into a wall before falling to the ground.

Following that, Moon and Stone abducted me from my room, with me only wearing a pair of pants. A cool night breeze blew past, causing me to sneeze. I couldn’t resist complaining, “At least let me put on a shirt!”

Stone gave a bitter smile that looked even uglier than someone crying. He said, “Soon you’ll be blaming us for being too slow.”

“What happened?” I started to feel that the situation was very grave, for Moon had even forgotten to put on a haughty act and fear was written across his entire face.

“Judgment is dying,” Stone said concisely in simple words.

F***!

“Where?”

“The Pope’s study.”

I immediately stood firmly on the ground with both of my feet, no longer needing their support. The three of us started sprinting, fearing that if we were late by even a single step, I would be forced to use Resurrection on Judgment.

“Judgment!”

I kicked open the door of the Pope’s study, only to see Judgment lying on the floor. The Pope was kneeling by his side. The other Twelve Holy Knights were gathered in a circle, although they weren’t doing anything but staring at Judgment.

I gave an angry roar, “Pope, what are you doing? Hurry up and perform Ultimate Heal on him.”

The Pope lifted his head to look at me and then said a little blankly, “Ultimate Heal? But by the time I got to him, he already had no remaining signs of life.”

I became sluggish and nearly forgot how to breathe. Finally, I lowered my head to look at Judgment…

He lay there, very peacefully, as though he were sleeping… If it weren’t for the numerous wounds on his body, he would indeed have looked like he was sleeping. Beneath his body, however, was a pool of blood. Even though I was unable to see color, this was not something that I could have possibly missed.

Actually, I had already realized it the moment I rushed into the study. The dark element had already started to corrode him and only holy knights who were dead would be corroded away by the dark element… It was just, how could I believe it?

I found it simply unbelievable and gave a low growl, “How is this possible?! How could he possibly… He is the Judgment Knight. He’s Lesus Judgment! He’s the strongest among all of us. Anyone else dying would be a possibility, but how could he die?”

Before me, every one of the Twelve Holy Knight’s faces became… Not awful, but rather at a loss.

Actually, they don’t believe that Judgment is dead in the first place, right? None of them are responding at all… How is it even possible? He is Lesus Judgment!

However, even if I were to confirm this a hundred times, the result would still be the same.

Lesus really was dead.

He lay on the floor, hair that was usually combed neatly spread out in a mess. Both of his eyes were tightly shut, but there was nothing unusual about the look on his face, which was a solemn expression just like usual. Really, what an obstinate person, not even changing his expression before dying!

I crouched down to examine his wounds. The black robes on his body had been cut open everywhere and the number of injuries he had were uncountable. However, the fatal blow was the wound on the side of his neck. The cut was very deep, but it still wouldn’t have resulted in his immediate death… I was afraid that he had died from losing too much blood.

“Captain Judgment!” Metal suddenly started shouting. “How is it possible! Captain Judgment, hurry and wake up. Tell them that you’re not dead!”

His scream roused the others from their daze, and they all started panicking.

Stone muttered to himself, “Within Leaf Bud City, there actually exists an enemy that can kill Judgment? Recently, the undead creatures have been multiplying like flies… O God of Light! What in the world has happened? Could it be that You are no longer protecting us?”

“Captain Judgment!”

“How is it possible?”

“Judgment actually died…”

Feeling my temper rise, I stood up and roared at everyone, “Why are you guys being so noisy? Have you all forgotten that I can perform the Resurrection spell? Judgment will wake soon, so all of you quiet down!”

Hearing that, everyone finally became a little calmer, but their faces were still full of fright, and they looked at Judgment disbelievingly.

“Who was the one who brought him back?” I suddenly thought of this question. If it was the enemy who had brought him back, then I would have to think about what exactly the enemy was trying to achieve. This was because my holy light would be almost completely depleted after I perform Resurrection. If that was what the opponent was planning on, it wouldn’t be good.

Roland was a little calmer compared to the others as he said, “My platoon is responsible for patrolling this month, and Tyler heard sounds of fighting. When he went over to check, Judgment was lying in the ruins of a broken-down wooden house. At that time, he was still alive, but they didn’t have the abilities to save him.”

It was probably because my facial expression was so awful that Roland couldn’t help but defend his vice-captain. “Tyler and the others tried their best.”

I nodded my head. I too knew that these kinds of injuries were not ones that a regular holy knight would be able to treat. Even if Earth, who had comparatively more holy light, had found Judgment, he probably wouldn’t have been able to save him, let alone a member of the Hell Knight Platoon.

But, knowing that Judgment had not died at the start and instead bled to death… If I had been there, I definitely would not have let him die!

Nonetheless, since it was not the enemy who had delivered Judgment here, the chances of the opponent having an ulterior motive were slim. I turned around to tell the Pope, “Help me draw the magic circle for Resurrection.”

The Pope nodded and took a box out from the bookcase. It was a box of magic gemstones ground into a fine powder and was the best material to use for drawing magic circles. Though I didn’t really require this kind of thing to assist me, he took it out without any intention of using it sparingly. This made me feel a very rare moment of gratitude towards the old man.

The Pope knelt on the ground and started drawing the magic circle, but just as I was going to start reminiscing about the past, I was interrupted.

“You’re going to pay a price to pray for a complete revival again?” Leaf suddenly grabbed me and shouted, “Don’t pay the price; Judgment would definitely not want you to do so!”

“What else am I to do?” I stared at him, growling, “You want me to bet on only having one quarter of a chance for a complete revival? Bet and see if Judgment will become insane? Or lose an arm? Or go blind? I still have my sensing ability, but if Judgment becomes blind, what does he have?”

Leaf retorted, “But you too could possibly become mad, or lose an arm. You already don’t have your eyesight anymore. What else do you want to lose?”

I lost my eyesight for your sake… But Leaf’s expression made me shut my mouth. Thank goodness I managed to clamp my mouth shut in time. I had no wish at all to know what kind of expression Leaf would make if I had said that.

“I won’t lose anything too serious.” I said calmly, “If the God of Light still wants me to continue being His Sun Knight and serve Him, He will not take away anything that would render me unable to continue being the Sun Knight.”

“That is just your guess,” the Pope mumbled. “The God of Light never said so.”

I glared at him fiercely, and he immediately lowered his head to continue drawing the magic circle.

“B-But…”

Leaf seemed to be at a loss. However, the ones who were even more at their wits’ ends had to be the others. Metal’s expression was extremely awful. If I really didn’t intend to pay a price and just bet on a one-quarter revival chance, he would probably be the first one to object.

However, Blaze stood at Leaf’s side and started yelling loudly, “I object! Sun, you have already lost your vision. You can’t lose anything else.”

“Captain Judgment also can’t lose anything!” Metal roared in a voice that rivaled Blaze’s. “What if he were to go blind?”

“Sun has already gone blind! So what if Judgment goes blind?” While yelling, Blaze actually gave Metal a punch and even wanted to charge in to fight, but Storm and Earth hurriedly caught hold of him on each side.

Metal, who had received a punch, started taking out his knife and was about to fight back when Ice and Stone grabbed a hold of him as well.

Aside from Blaze and Metal’s attempted brawl, the others actually didn’t look very friendly either. The group was split into two: the “good, warm-hearted” faction and the “cruel, cold-hearted” faction, each of them glaring at the other party. Even Storm, Earth, Ice and Stone were no exception. Although they had caught Blaze and Metal, their expressions looked as though they themselves wanted to go up front and fight.

“Enough! All of you, shut up!” I bellowed angrily. “What are you being so noisy for?! Do you think once you win the quarrel, I’ll listen to the side that wins? Am I such an obedient person?”

Ten people… No, eleven people including the Pope who was crouching on the ground drawing the magic circle, all shook their heads uniformly.

“Blaze, go apologize to Metal.” Once I said that, Blaze showed an expression of dissatisfaction. My face darkened as I growled, “What do I usually say in such a case? You hit one of the Twelve Holy Knights in front of me and you’re being given the chance to settle this with just an apology. Are you resenting the fact that this punishment is not light enough?”

Blaze became silent and nodded his head. He walked two steps to stand in front of Metal, and just as he was about to open his mouth to speak…

“I’m sorry.” Metal instead said the words first. With an expression of dismay, he said, “It’s not that I wish that Sun would lose anything, I-I…”

“I’m sorry!” Blaze shouted loudly, interrupting Metal’s stuttering. “What Sun said was right. I shouldn’t have hit you! Anyways, since I’ve already said that I’m sorry, can we just let this go?”

Metal nodded and extended his hand. Blaze shook his hand with great force.

Everyone finally became more relaxed… At this point, Leaf asked in a small voice, “Sun, are you still intending to pay a price?”

Once I nodded, the expressions on everyone’s faces changed. Even the side that had wanted me to pay a price just now in exchange for a complete revival had worried expressions.

“Relax, nothing will happen to me.” I comforted everyone, saying, “Wait a little, and Judgment will wake up. Then, we can go find the culprit, and we’ll definitely make him pay a price even scarier than death!”

Once I said that, everyone finally calmed down… But although they had calmed down, everyone’s expression had turned from worried to “scary.” The evil glares emitting from their eyes could have been used to kill someone directly.

“Leaf, go get my Divine Sun Sword and bring it here.”

Leaf hesitated, but he still nodded his head and walked out of the study.

Now, I needed to recall my memories with Judgment. The more one lets himself be filled with memories of the deceased, the lower the chances of Resurrection failing. And for this kind of scenario where I was willing to pay a price to seek a complete revival, it was even more important to let God feel just how much I insisted on reviving the deceased person. Otherwise, why should the God of Light help us with our plight?

However, as I thought about it, I suddenly realized that I had no idea what I should be thinking about. Not because I didn’t have any memories to recall, but because I had too many memories with him and had no idea where to start.

Over twelve or so years have probably passed since I first met him, I think?

I don’t remember exactly when it was, but after I handed the handkerchief, fresh water, and the stool to the young Judgment Knight who was vomiting nonstop, I sat on my own stool. I took out some blueberry bread and started gnawing on it.

“You…” By chance, he happened to lift his head up, and looking at me, he said in disbelief, “I’m vomiting.”

I swallowed the last bit of blueberry bread and opened my mouth to answer. “I can see that. Are you done vomiting? If you vomit out everything in your stomach, you’ll get hungry! I still have bread. Do you want it?”

I dug out my bread. It was chocolate-flavored, but because I had held it in my arms it was a little squashed, and the filling had leaked out completely. But it was still edible!

However, the moment he saw the chocolate bread, he turned his head away and continued with his seemingly incessant vomiting.

I then decided to eat the chocolate-flavored bread myself, as it was from the day before. It would spoil if I kept it any longer.

This time, he only vomited for a little while before he stopped. I guess it was because there was nothing left to be puked out!

He lifted his head and looked at me, seeming not to know what to do next.

“I’m called Lesus.” After saying that, he hesitated for a while before he added, saying, “Lesus Judgment. Thank…”

Halfway through, he suddenly stopped, not saying anything more. I too understood why he had stopped: Judgment and Sun can never be pleasant in each other’s company.

With a grin, I reached out my hand and greeted him, “I’m Grisia. Grisia Sun.”

Lesus stared at my hand.

“There’s no one looking right now anyways! We don’t have to not get along with each other for real, right? As long as you and I cooperate and pretend that we don’t get along, that will do! So how about it? Happy cooperation!” I said with a grin, a little jokingly. After all, everyone knows that the Sun Knight and the Judgment Knight are as incompatible as fire and water! Where would the cooperation come from?

Lesus looked at me frankly and then extended his hand to grab mine, before he slowly nodded his head and said very earnestly, “Happy cooperation.”

At the time, I had only felt that this fellow’s way of speaking was too serious!

In the days afterwards, I gradually began to understand that this guy Lesus was not just serious in his way of speaking, rather, his entire personality was very serious. He did not say that to be polite; he was making a real promise.

Happy cooperation, so he and I became sworn enemies who were best friends.

Happy cooperation, so he would always support me silently from behind. Even if the things that I did made him say that I was being willful no less than a hundred times, he would silently support my willfulness for the hundred-and-first time.

Happy cooperation…

I lowered my head to look at Judgment and inside my heart, I was incomparably glad that I knew Resurrection. If Judgment really couldn’t be revived, how was I supposed to single-handedly support an entire Holy Temple by myself in the days to come?

Without Judgment here, do I really have the ability to support the Holy Temple?

I specialized in being locked in constant strife with the palace and was well versed in all kinds of conspiracies and ruses, but as for the regular official duties, I hardly did any of it at all. It was almost all dealt with by Judgment, almost…

“What ‘happy cooperation’?!” I roared at him. “You are always supporting me silently from the shadows, though I don’t have the faintest idea why you are so supportive of me. ‘Happy cooperation’… When in fact it was always just you tolerating me…”

“It’s not like that, Sun.”

I was stunned for a moment before I realized that Leaf had already come back. In his hand was the Divine Sun Sword.

Leaf gently said, “When the sky comes falling down, you and Judgment will still be there. Judgment blocks the enemies coming from the front, but as for the conspiracies and schemes, it is you who blocks them behind the scenes! Judgment knows this and we know this too. We aren’t afraid of anything because of the cooperation between you and Judgment.”

“I’m too used to having the two of you here!” Storm said lazily, “You and Judgment are both people that we can’t do without.”

“Don’t lose anything too important.” Earth complained, “Otherwise Judgment would definitely send punitive forces against us and blame us for not stopping you. When that moment comes, we will no longer be able to live our days peacefully.”

You think that’s something I can decide? I rolled my eyes at him, but I realized that Earth wasn’t joking at all from his expression, which was extremely serious.

I surveyed my surroundings. Every face, every figure there had actually accompanied me for over ten years. There were some whom I had especially good relations with, and there were also some that I was more unfamiliar with. However, no matter what, I was already too used to having five holy knights standing at my right side – Storm, Leaf, Blaze, Earth, Cloud; I was also too used to having six holy knights standing at my left – Judgment, Ice, Stone, Moon, Metal, Hell.

We were the Twelve Holy Knights and having a single one missing was out of the question. If one was missing, it wouldn’t be the Twelve Holy Knights anymore.

“It’s not only me and Judgment. None of you can be missing either, not a single one of you!”

I took the Divine Sun Sword out of Leaf’s hands and cut open my left hand without any hesitation.

Actually, there was not even a need for me to think about the past to begin with… How could Judgment die? Damn, if this fellow dies, then who am I going to have a happy cooperation with?

Who could tolerate my willfulness over a hundred times…? In truth, I had acted willfully much more than a hundred times in just four years of being the Sun Knight. I still had another sixteen years of my career as a Sun Knight to go. One would estimate that in total, I would act willfully over five hundred times. Besides Judgment, who else could not only tolerate this, but also support me silently from the shadows?

I raised my left hand above Judgment’s left hand, allowing my blood to flow down continuously as I recited, “Please use the blood in my left arm to move Lesus Judgment’s left arm…”

“Please also accept my blood.” Leaf extended his own left arm earnestly. On his arm, there was already a long gash sliced open and blood flowed down non-stop.

I was stunned for a moment and was just about to stop him and tell him that he need not do so, when I realized that all of the others had also cut open their left arms and dripped their blood onto Judgment’s left arm. Judgment’s left arm looked as though it was bathed in a pool of blood.

I looked at everyone but did not say anything. I only continued the ceremony and as I cut open my right arm, I said, “Please use the blood in my right arm to move Lesus Judgment’s right arm.”

Judgment’s right arm was once more bathed in blood and following that were the right leg and the left leg…

Finally, I stabbed the Divine Sun Sword into Judgment’s fatal injury on his neck and released large amounts of holy light to the best of my abilities. Then, inside my heart, I shouted unceasingly to the God of Light. Please return Lesus Judgment back to me…!

O God of Light, please return Judgment back to us! If we need to pay a price, then take it from us! Please don’t take away anything from Sun!

In the moment when I released all the holy light inside my body instantaneously, I seemed to hear everyone’s shouting, but no one had opened their mouths to speak… Their expressions, however, left me with no doubt that they were shouting these words inside their hearts, desperately praying to the God of Light.

With one breath, I released all the holy light and felt an absolute emptiness inside my body. But I still couldn’t collapse; things hadn’t truly been finished yet…

Judgment took a deep breath and then started coughing with all his might.

Only then did I relax. My legs almost instantly gave way and I would have fallen to the ground had Leaf not immediately supported me.

Judgment is all right. Except, what will I lose this time?

After coughing for a while, Judgment regained his senses. He lifted his head and the expression that he had when he saw me was so frightening that it was petrifying. He struggled to crawl up and roared, “You revived me? You paid the price again? What did you lose…”

After saying that, he suddenly lost his voice and just stared at me blankly. Actually, it was not only Judgment who did so, for all of the others were staring at me blankly… However, I don’t feel like I’ve lost anything? What have I lost?

My hearing? It’s still intact. Even though this scene is very quiet, I can still hear the sound of everybody breathing. Touch? It’s still here too, as not wearing a top makes me feel a little chilly… Could it be my voice?

In a hurry, I opened my mouth to speak. “What’s wrong?” Hm, my voice is still present too.

Judgment’s voice was hoarse as he said, “Your… Your hair…”

By reflex, I touched my head. Hair? It’s still there!

That scared me half to death. I almost thought that I had become bald. However, my hair was still perfectly fine and tied at the back of my head. It was soft and silky; even the quality of it had not changed.

“What’s wrong with my hair?” I felt a little puzzled.

Storm seemed to be a little lacking in strength as he said, “Never mind, at least it’s much better than it was with him losing his vision. I will help Sun mix hair dye…”

Hair dye? I was stunned but gained some understanding of the situation.

“Has my hair changed color? What color is it?” Could it have turned black? I was a little uneasy.

Judgment looked at me and managed to forcefully squeeze out some words. “White. Just now, the color of your hair started fading from the ends and now it has turned completely white…”

No wonder they were stunned. However, I really didn’t know what kind of reaction to have. I had lost my golden hair, but because I had already long since mentally prepared myself to lose my hearing or my voice, losing my hair color seemed rather negligible.

Moreover, I had already been unable to see my own hair color for some time. To me, it didn’t matter much whether it was golden or white. As for the hair dye that Storm mentioned, there was completely no need for it. I could directly gather large amounts of metal element1 to make my hair “look” golden.

“Sun…”

I gathered large amounts of metal element and directly covered my hair with it. Afterwards I replied, “Let’s not worry about my hair for now. Who was it that laid hands on you?”

Judgment was silent for a while before he said, “A little girl.”

“Pink?” I clenched my fists. If it was her again, no matter how close or how much of a friend she was to me, I would definitely not let her off this time!

However, Judgment shook his head, saying, “I’ve met Pink before. It wasn’t her.”

“Was it Scarlet?”

“I don’t know. I haven’t met her before.”

“It must be her!” I was ninety-nine percent sure as I said it. A little girl that is able to kill Judgment. Who could it be other than her? Even Whitey has appeared here.

“You have just revived and ought to rest more. Answer another question of mine and then go rest!”

Judgment nodded his head.

I took a deep breath, and then questioned him with a tone that was close to interrogation, “What were you doing outside in the middle of the night? You had just been injured this afternoon. What was so important that you would throw away your own life for it?”

Once I said that, Judgment’s expression immediately changed. When I finished my questioning, he became silent. And when he began to open his mouth…

“Don’t lie to me.” I said one step ahead of him.

Judgment looked at me for quite a long time before he opened his mouth to say, “Capturing a criminal.”

I stared at him and he didn’t avoid my gaze. But I know; I just know that this damn fellow is lying to me!

I glared at him, saying, “You have just revived, so perhaps you’re too tired and your memory is still a little fuzzy. I’ll give you another chance. Do you want to change your answer?”

Judgment looked at me and then firmly shook his head.

“Very well! You will be confined!” I emphasized. With a roar, I shouted, “Roland!”

Roland was given a fright and asked reflexively, “What is it?”

“Take Knight-Captain Judgment to the confinement chamber and don’t let him take even a single step out of it!”

Roland stared at me with wide-open eyes and looked as though he didn’t know what to do. Actually, it was not only him who did so; all of the others also had vacant looks about them. I didn’t have the time to care about Roland and started speaking to someone else. “Pope!”

“What?” The Pope was startled. “Don’t tell me you want to lock me up?”

“What would I confine you for? I’m going to get some sleep first. Make some preparations. When I wake up, teach me how to attack with your mind without being noticed!” Furiously, I said, “This time, I will definitely let that girl Scarlet die a thorough death, whether she is an undying lich or not!”

The Pope looked a little worried as he said, “Sun, calm down.” After saying that, he peeked at Judgment out of the corner of his eye and said, “Knight-Captain Judgment is also tired. You should all go back and rest first. As for confinement and such, we should take our time to make a decision…”

“Shut up!” I turned around and then roared in rage, “Roland, what are you doing? Hurry up and take him to the confinement chamber!”

Roland was now completely at a loss as to what to do. He looked helplessly at the others, as though hoping to get an answer from them. However, everyone’s faces had become blank, and there was no one who could give him a hint as to what to do.

Seeing the situation, I gathered water element and then coiled it around Judgment as though it were a length of chain. Then, I exerted force and repeatedly froze the water into ice. From water, it became a sturdy chain, just like when I had trapped Princess Ann before.

However, once I finished exerting that burst of strength, my brain seemed to suddenly go blank. When I was clear-headed once more, I had already nearly collapsed onto the ground. It was only the upper half of my body that was still leaning onto Leaf that stopped me from having full body contact with the ground.

“Sun?” Everyone had gathered around me, and they started talking all at once. “You alright?”

From the side came the Pope’s cold voice, “Right after casting Resurrection, he used such a powerful multi-layered spell… His not having gone to see the God of Light would definitely already be considered within the range of ‘alright’!”

“Take Judgment to the confinement chamber!” I gritted my teeth as I said, “Don’t tell me you guys want to see him slip out in the middle of the night and cause his own death again?”

After I spoke these words, Roland still did not make any movement. Instead, it was Metal and Blaze who glanced at each other and rushed to Judgment’s side. Judgment, who had been locked up in the ice chains, was like an ice sculpture. He could only let himself be lifted up with the combined strength of Metal and Blaze on both sides. Only then did he start to ask with disbelief, “Wait, you really intend to confine me?”

I coldly answered, “You don’t wish to be confined? Then you’d better answer clearly: What exactly are you hiding?”

Once I asked that, Judgment became silent again. This is really frustrating the hell out of me! What is he up to? Is there still something else that he can’t tell me?

At this moment, there came whispers from the sides.

“I keep feeling that something is strange…”

“This scene seems to be a little unnatural.”

“Isn’t this somehow wrong?”

Earth clicked his tongue twice and said, “The situation is reversed! Interrogation should be what Judgment does, and nearly causing himself to die for no reason and then refusing to say anything about it should be what Sun does!”

“Oh, that’s right!” Everyone exclaimed in realization.

“…”

“Pfffttt!” Judgment actually managed to laugh.

“Hurry and drag him away!” After I gave the order expressionlessly, I still couldn’t feel at ease, so I carefully instructed the others. “Roland, Blaze, and Metal, the three of you will be responsible for watching over Judgment Knight. Remember to lock up the secret pathway inside the confinement chamber. If you don’t know where the secret pathway is, go ask Adair.”

“Wait!” Judgment’s expression changed drastically as he shouted, “Sun, I have very important matters to do! You can’t go and lock me up for real, I…”

I ruthlessly growled, “Take him away!”

“Sun!” Judgment roared in rage. I turned my head aside, completely ignoring him.

After Judgment had been taken away, the atmosphere at the scene became extremely heavy. Everyone’s expression was very gloomy, and Storm had even covered his face, sobbing, “Could you also confine me together with him? I don’t want to have to correct Judgment’s documents as well. Sob sob sob…”

Earth walked up to Storm and patted his shoulder. It was unknown whether he was trying to give advice or to add insult to injury, but he said, “Forget it! Even if you did get confined, the only change would be that you’d be correcting documents inside the confinement chamber.”

“Don’t say it!” Storm really broke into tears.

1 “Metal element”: The text says that Sun covered his hair with the metal element, but future chapters always say that he covers his hair with the holy element.

    o.o I guess the God of Light really can’t do without the Sun Knight…
    But how could Sun cover his hair with holy element if he doesn’t have any left from Resurrection?
    I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who noticed the reversed roles.
    Storm… Is such a good person.

    I still feel shell-shocked that Judgment was… Dead…

    • [PR]lucathia

      Hmmm, about the holy element part, in this chapter, it actually says he used the metal element, but it was only ever mentioned in this instance. In later chapters, it says that he uses the holy element, which is why we translated it as the holy element. I’ll add a footnote about it!

    • @[PR]lucathia
      So about Grisia coloring his hair with an element… Is this something he can do subconsciously, or does his hair revert back to white while he’s asleep?

    • [PR]lucathia

      @黒
      I believe he has to be conscious, or else it reverts back to white.

  2. icekitty :3

    NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Sun lost his golden hair!!!!
    I wonder how Neo would react if he knew about this? …*moment of silence for Sun*…

    lol. That moment where Judgement got chained up.
    “The situation is reversed! Interrogation should be what Judgment does, and nearly causing himself to die for no reason and then refusing to say anything about it should be what Sun does!” totally made my day/ night.

    Poor Storm…so much paperwork, but I guess that Judgement is responsible, so maybe he’ll do paperwork in his chamber…

    Thank you PR! Loved this chapter!!!!! :)

    • icekitty :3

      @icekitty :3
      I see that Metal is to Judgement as Blaze is to Sun…

      BTW, what happened to Aldrizzt? Is he still sleeping or what?

  3. Gohankuten

    Lol Judgement and Sun switch roles and poor Storm cannot escape the documents lol. And Grisia is about to go on the warpath. I think whoever did this to Judgement should be quaking in fear right now.

  4. beta

    Judgement going through blood loss, death, confinement, having secrets he can’t afford to tell, yadda yadda. The true victim in all this is Storm; not only is his workload increased again, Sun doesn’t even have to bother with a constant hair dye treatment that will eventually accumulate and poison him. Life is unfair.

  5. jack

    how the table have turned hilarius stuff poor judgement gets locked up and poorer storm nd his documents

      Awaitsun already said that Scarlet, Pink, and a third Lich are the three qho are in charge of the Demon King’s birth. So, yes. Scarlet IS part of the Cathedral of the Shadow God and second only to The Demon King most likely…

    • akumaxtenshi

      @NeoWarrior
      Speaking of the third lich, what do you think is her/its [since its a corpse?] name??, we have Pink and Scarlet already [which are closely-related colors]

      @akumaxtenshi
      Just a note to readers! If you actually know the name of the third lich, please don’t comment with it.

      thank you for that!!! I really like reading comments and I would really hate it if I read a spoiler accidentally

      Thanks for the chapter PR!

    • Gohankuten

      @MnelG
      No it’s gotta be a reddish color name. Violet is blue/purple and not red so wouldn’t work. Maybe Burgandy since that is a dark red. Pink is light red, Scarlet is medium red and then it would make sense for the 3rd to be a dark red color which Burgandy fits. And Burgandy sounds like a girls name and since 2 of the 3 liches so far have been girls it stands to reason the 3rd is as well.

    • Nimue

      @akumaxtenshi
      Perhaps the third litch is actually whitey, and he’s the dad of Pink… Scarlet+White=Pink! Some wild speculation :p
      (shipping a corpse with a unicorn… the fangirl side of the force has grown strong in me XD )

    • icekitty :3

      @Nimue
      It sort of makes sense, but then I don’t understand why he would ‘eat’ holy element if he was a lich… and also, I’m pretty sure that they mentioned that it was another little girl, or something like that.

    • Ayiana

      @akumaxtenshi
      My guess would be, as strangely as it sounds , Whitey .
      Just think about it, Scarlet is dark red, pink is light red, and Whitey, is well u guess white color name while underneath, just like other 2 is actually black inside.[Poor Holy Lighthorn, he more likely wanted that name instead of Whitey which is a lot more plain name xD as in v4c7]
      White – Pink – Scarlet with Pink being center and not Scarlet =P .And don’t pick of me for naming the horse xD, that unicorn keeps stopping sun from talking to pink it seems, every time he ditches all people to run to Pink, it appears.

    • @Ayiana
      That crossed my mind at first too, about Whitey being the third lich. I ended up discarding it though since Whitey seems to be connected to Grisia. I don’t think a lich would be connected to a living being. Plus, Whitey appears to actually be alive and not a corpse.

    • Boringal

      if you think about the order the appear : pink, scarlet, it should be crimson or a color near blood

    • YukinaYorusaki

      I feel like Crimson would be a good name for 3rd Lich but at the same time I feel like it’s too simular to Scarlett. So what if we went a bit of a different route with it and the 3rd Lich’s name is Black (or some variation of it) also I don’t remember them ever specifically saying that the 3rd Lich is a girl so what if it’s a boy and furthermore what if it’s corpse is that of an Adult and is actually the Leader of the 3? Like Scarlett is just following orders and so is Pink but at the same time Pink is maybe just a little bit hesitant due to the bond that grown over the years between her and Sun…. wow I feel like my brain is gonna explode with all this thinking… I’m just gonna keep reading now to find out.

  9. MnelG

    wow! such an intense chapter! so that is why judgement is on the cover as well. though it has been hinted in the previous chapter, it was still quite a shock.
    My, i really feel kinda sorry for scarlet though, for not only will she experience the wrath of Sun, but also the rest of the holy knights. i cant wait for the next chapter. Thanks fo another great translation PR! (^_^)b

  10. Doe Johnson

    Yay!!! I knew the chapter would be intense, but I didn’t expect that!

  11. quanta

    This chapter just absoluely killed me…. Judge died, Sun revived him, Sun lost his absolutely amazing, beautiful golden hair….. Storm has more documents to correct…. so much to deal with!!!! I really cannot wait for the next chater!
    Well, anyways, thanks PR for this amazing/depressing chapter!

  12. yumeniai

    JUDGEMENT! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO SUNNNNN!!!!!
    Wah, Judgement’s death was such a shock! Nooooo! And Sun’s hair … so Neo’s only reason for choosing Grisia over Roland (well, only one Grisia knows anyway) is now negligible? Pfffft …
    But that was so sad and so touching! And the end was hilarious of course … haha, poor Storm, after all that and still have to correct documents …
    Thanks so much for the translation!

    • DellyYuki

      @yumeniai
      I think Neo choose Grisia not only because of his hair. In the some dialogue Sun and Judgement have Neo ask all candidate and Grisia Answer is the best, I think. I forgot what chapter is it but it’s already out in PR. This if I remember correcly.

  13. Cupcake

    …. I adore this chapter. I love how all the twelve holy knights standing together for each other despite rivalry and unfamiliarity, it’s so heart-touching. I also couldn’t help but laugh at the fact that Yu Wo was still able to maintain the humor in a chapter with a more serious undertone; she’s my inspiration, if I were to ever become a future author, I’d definitely look towards her novels for encouragement :) and thank you all at PR! for taking the time to translate all of this. If it weren’t for you guys, I’d never be able to read such a fantastic and creative novel.

  14. nuro

    hahahahaa…. poor storm XD…. but just who is it??????? such a bastard!!! someone actually kill judgement!!

  15. AC

    That, my friends, is what I call faith:
    “If the God of Light still wants me to continue being His Sun Knight and serve Him, He will not take away anything that would render me unable to continue being the Sun Knight.”
    I loved this chapter. It has this deep feeling of friendship among the Twelve, it’s so cute!

  16. Seink

    Now, the one who killed Judgement will see the true birth of a Demon King XD

  17. akumaxtenshi

    who might be the criminal that Judge wants to catch?, where the hell is NEO? and why isn’t Aldrizzt in the scene?!!!, it’s driving me CRAZY!!, there are so many question that needs answer!,aaahhh!!
    GO for it Storm!,
    Sun, you need some rest, seriously!
    Judge?, why are you keeping secrets from Sun?
    pope, aren’t you SUPPOSED to be high and mighty??, LOL.
    THANKS PR!!, can’t wait for the next chapter! <(^_^)

  18. AyeDuh

    I cried like a baby… and i think my heart stopped while reading this D:

  19. misy

    yaaaaaay, i’m first…………..it was awsome…………i laugh alot till my stomach hurt….thank you

  20. NyakoFCC

    Oh God of Light, my heart was broken in tiny pieces by this chapter, feeling are overflowing. Thank you very much PR! I really loved it.

    And now, let the fangirling begin *squeals*

  21. Jasae Bushae

    Wait, Judgment has met Pink before?

    But wow, I guess with all the knights pooling together, they got off with just a color alteration.

    • @Jasae Bushae
      Had to think about that one a little while. Didn’t the Twelve Holy Knights meet Pink when she used a teleportation circle to send them to Grisia and the dragon in the previous book? Roland also mentioned that Pink changed bodies to a woman who looks like she’s in her twenties, so she’s not a little girl anymore.

    • Jasae Bushae

      @黒
      hmmm….if Yu Wo does another ‘let the fans recomend side stories’ thing im totally requesting a judgment meets pink story XD

    • @Jasae Bushae
      That would be interesting. They might even get along since Judgment seems to do well with willful people like Grisia. ^^

    • Jasae Bushae

      @黒
      plus from the times pink has spoken about judgment she seemed to hold alot of respect for him and even commented that he was a real holy knight unlike grisla XD

    • MnelG

      @Jasae Bushae

      its about the time of the 4th volume, when they are looking for their wayward sun knight. around the 10th chapter, i think

    • AnnieTi

      @Jasae Bushae
      That was Pink who helped them to teleport in previous story. Though I’ve got the feeling Judgemant met Pink even before that. But when and where was that?.. Hmm…

    • Jasae Bushae

      @AnnieTi
      Yeah though judgment said that pink wasnt a little girl at the time and despite that he could tell that this little girl was not pink which makes me suspect that he had met pink in her young girl form

    • @Jasae Bushae
      I wouldn’t be surprised if Judgment and Pink had met before, but couldn’t he have just meant that the little girl who attacked him wasn’t the twenty-something-year-old Pink he saw last? After all, new bodies take a while to create.

  22. MPToki

    No Judgement died! But thank goodness he came back.
    Other than that I kept laughing while reading this chapter~
    Thank You for uploading this =D

  23. RenTheWitch

    This was way too sad and way to funny to put in words LOL, the ROLES REVERSED! SO PRICELESS!

  24. Maestro

    Just blanked out in the beginning….and then started panicking, cause my favorite character was actually DEAD. My sister stared at me as if I was a crazy homeless lady on the street xD

  25. kayue

    Poor poor Storm.
    We all knew Judgement was the likely victim, but… Glad he was revived intact. I was surprised that Sun’s hair went white, not black.
    Still its easier to dye light hair rather than dark. And easier to maintain dye over spells.
    Thank you PR.

    • Jasae Bushae

      @kayue
      well unlike before when he was cursed with darkness, this is the god of light so a lighter color makes sense

  26. Jynx3d

    I should be sleeping, got a final tomorrow, but here I am…curse Yu wo for writing such amazing stories and you guys for being awesome and translating them!!! Oh well. Anyway, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

  27. Karencita

    I cried :( and then i laughed. What is happening? :S i want answers now D:
    Thanks for the good work PR! :)

  28. abersham

    but why just the hair color? is it really just that?
    Last time, Sun lost his eyesight, now just hair color?

    • Nimue

      @abersham
      It has to be because of the strong memories, the quality of the circle and all the knights supporting the resurrection prayer…Just a guess. And we all know what a lucky dog Sun is, after all :P

  29. azalealady

    even though, i felt sorry and worry about judgement, i am kind of angry with judgement. he is the one that said to sun before that (volume 3); next time he will ask other people to not die in front of sun, because who know what price sun have to pay for another resurrection. judgement should take his own advice and note it inside his head much more than the other knight. poor sun, he already lost too many things in short time.

    • MnelG

      @azalealady
      he really doesnt have a choice on the matter. he was already too weak to destroy his own body when found by hell’s platoon (and with the fight that happened, it would surely bring anyone on the scene). and its not like he would just up and stop grisia in performing ressurection when he is already dead

    • azalealady

      @MnelG

      yea, you’re right, guess i just can’t help feeling sorry for sun.
      it is so typical in many novel or manga or movie where the friend that always vow to protect others got end up injured themselves or killed themselves in the process. not saying that everyone should be selfish and only protect themselves. but usually the after effect will be that the protected friend will end up going crazy due to sadness…in this case sun got real mad…

  30. Chris

    I’d laugh if their personality got switched as the price…. >w>;

  31. Argh! What is Judgment not telling Sun?! Whatever it is has got to be important if he won’t even say after being killed. It has to have something to do with Sun since if it were anything else, I can’t imagine Judgment keeping quiet. But if it was between protecting Sun or protecting Leaf Bud City, I wonder which he would choose.

    On a side note, Sun’s hair really turned white and not black, right? I’m probably just over thinking things, but when I read this:
    Judgment looked at me and managed to forcefully squeeze out some words. “White. Just now, the color of your hair started fading from the ends and now it has turned completely white…”
    it somehow reminded me of the time Judgment asked Sun what color the bird was. Not really a connection between the two events. Just made me think that if Sun’s hair had turned black, Judgment would’ve been quick-witted enough to trick Sun and answer the same way.

    • 15B

      @黒
      In the covers of the books, it really looks like his hair is white.

  32. The Man Behind the Curtain

    It seems like every ‘price’ ends up making Grissia a better Sun Knight. First it was his sight, which made him all seeing. Now his hair has turned white, yet will probably be more golden than ever, shining with a holy light like the Sun.

  33. 3ana

    First you lose your sight, then your golden hair.. please don’t use resurrection again Grisiaa~ T0T
    Even in such sad chapter like this there are still funny moments.. Yu Wo sure is amazing~ Thanks PR!

  34. Insanity

    NO!!! Judgement! How could you get yourself killed?
    Poor Storm. He’s bullied by everyone else…
    And Sun! Your hair, your beautiful hair! D:

  35. jeff

    Pftthhhhh Huahahahahaaaaaaaaa LOL!!! The situation had reversed.. It’s the best and the most unexpected thing I could think about the role between judgment and sun.. Thx for the hard work PR. LOVE this chapter Lol

  36. Nali

    “O God of Light, please return Judgment back to us! If we need to pay a price, then take it from us! Please don’t take away anything from Sun!”

    I feel like they should be saying ‘Please don’t take away anything from Judgement!’ – because isn’t that what the whole thing was about? Making it a complete resurrection so Judgement will come back whole? hmmm.

    I also like the Metal element more than Holy element… like an above comment, he doesn’t have any holy element left to gather, let alone ‘massive’ quantities of it. And besides, when in the sun, it’ll really shine brightly =) though I’d have to wonder if it would work indoors…

    Haha… I think of Sun losing his voice, and go “well, at least he’d be grateful not to have to mention the god of light in every sentence anymore!”

    • icekitty :3

      @Nali
      Since Sun already said that he would give up whatever it takes in order to resurrect Judgement perfectly, like last time with Leaf, the other holy knights probably do mean Sun, since they know that he will definitely ensure 100% success with Judgement and lose something in the process.

    • Nali

      @icekitty :3
      I suppose that does make sense, if thinking from ‘all the knights are thinking this’ perspective – I thought it was solely Sun, since it was only after that that he mentions the other knights too.

    • @Nali
      I think that by Grisia paying a price, whoever he resurrects will come back whole.

      Haha, if Sun did lose his voice, I think that would be his first thought. XD

  37. Xeraphina

    Oh… That was so sad. Judgement died! Poor Storm has even more paperwork to do. And Sun’s hair turned white.
    Who dared kill Judgement? I wonder if it is the third lich…
    The tension is building up. This volume is going to be epic! Thanks for the new chapter PR!

  38. kezi

    If I hadn’t read spoilers, this scene would have made me cry like a new born T_T I was bawling when Leaf died before, much less for Judge!! I want a dead lich now >:(

  39. Citarra

    Great chapter! I finally got to laugh without dread through an entire chapter again. Thank you for translating and uploading this.

  40. Ozzien

    Thank you thank you THANK YOU for the amazing chapter!!!
    It’s really suspicious that the ones causing Sun to cast so many resurrections are the liches who are responsible for the birth of the demon king. It also fits in with how this generation of knights seems unaware of the demon king while in ‘When Teacher Wasn’t Yet Teacher’, the recently promoted knights know all about it. Anyone else smell conspiracy?

    • Gohankuten

      @Ozzien
      Neo is actually the 3rd lich and has been preparing Grisia to become the Demon King from the start!!!!! And Neo brainwashed all the others into helping him.

    • @Ozzien
      You’re right, that is suspicious! If the liches are doing it on purpose, is their goal to weaken Grisia or is there something specific they want him to lose? As for the Demon King, I think some of the knights must know about it even if they haven’t said anything. Sun even mentions in volume 1 that he wonders if a teddy bear in Pink’s house has the ability to summon a demon king. Maybe they just think of a demon king as something that happened so long ago, it’s more of a legend than a possibility. Actually, I wonder when the last time a demon king awakened was.

    • Duncan Idaho

      @黒
      Their goal is to make Sun unleashed, think about it, white hair, blind, now all he needs is a scarf of sorts over his mouth and he can drink and sneak out at his heart pleasure…

      HOLY MOTHER OF GOD GRISA HAS WHITE HAIR, THE WHOLE WORLD IS DOOMED HE CAN NOW GO OUT AND NOT BE THE SUN KNIGHT!

    • AnnieTi

      @Ozzien
      I expected the liches somehow fill Sun with dark element when he’s wiped out of light. Though maybe their plan is far more going.

    • Jasae Bushae

      @AnnieTi
      I actually thought the same at first but with the other ten knights and the pope present, theres very little chance the liches would have been able to pull it off ^^;
      i think their intent was to ‘warn’ judgment off of whatever he is discerning

    • AnnieTi

      @Jasae Bushae
      You’re right this bunch of people won’t give the liches a chance to enjoy cool air ^^ Though I thought they were going to use some kind of item as it was before (I mean the Eternal Tranquillity).
      As for Judgement, maybe he’d just got in the way and interrupted their preparation for the Demon King being born. Or the liches tried to lure Sun out of the Temple, or to get him mad and do reckless stuff… Actually I think all this hardly is the point here, so I’d better stop speculating )

    • Jasae Bushae

      @AnnieTi
      One interesting thing I think to keep in mind is the last book all started because Grisla started investigating something and this also lead to a mysterious figure pounding him flat in the middle of the city in some sort of ambush.

    • AnnieTi

      @Jasae Bushae
      To your last comment (I hadn’t found reply-botton):
      You read my mind! I also was thinking about Grisia’s fight with someone unknown which ended up with his memory loss. This and Judgement’s “misfortunes” are to much alike. So I think these matters aren’t just coincidence but related somehow.

  41. Kuran Nita

    So, this is where……. The god of light took Grisia’s…. Hair color.. eh…? How sad… :(
    Even though I’ve already read some kind like spoiler but I don’t know that I’ll encounter him losing more in this book.. I feel like something weighing my heart.. Really.. *Sobs*
    Thanks for the chapter, by the way…

  42. Nimue

    This chapter is made of awesome! Many thanks for the translation!!! :D

    Oh the feels… First Judgement gets killed!!! No damn way… I nearly fell off my chair and cried at the resurrection scene…
    And then…”the situation is reversed” XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
    If this keeps up, next thing we;ll see will be Sun turning into a swordsman :P

  43. momiji

    Wow! What a chapter! Very eventful…. wonder if cloud knows what happened… also why of all the things wouldthe God of Light take his hair color? And would theother holy knights lose something too? So many questions…. thanks for the translation!

  44. rei

    I don’t think it was scarlet, I think it was the third one…

  45. Ayiana

    I wonder when will Sun actually use the 3 demands from Judgement that he gained? this occasion seems really appropriate i believe. It already caused the death of one of the 12 Holy Knights, Knowing the real reason why Judgement would die before calling help from his friends is a really good reason to use one of them. Doing it privately, after they both rest is an idea too tho.

    • @Ayiana
      I think if Judgment really didn’t want to say anything, there’s nothing Sun could do to change his mind. If Sun tried to use one of his demands, Judgment would just be evasive or possibly just refuse to answer.

    • Ayiana

      @黒
      If even Happy Cooperation was a promise from Judgement, he wouldn’t have taken his word back, he would answer

  46. Jan

    I’m so glad Judgement got revived, my heart nearly stopped when i got to the part they said that he was dying.
    Thanks! This was a awesome chapter!

  47. julchen

    It made me cry. Damn it. I know Lesus couldn’t stay dead as long as there’s Grisia… But the shock… Gaaaaaaah! Although Grisia’s my favorite, I was expecting him to lose something though. XD Intense chapter, Sun please torture the enemy. XD

  48. Over twenty years have probably passed since I first met him, I think?

    Has it really been over twenty years since Grisia met Lesus? I thought Sun was only about 23.

    • [PR]lucathia

      Ahhh, good catch. That should actually say over twelve or so years. *goes to fix*

  49. MARIA LUCY

    Thanks for this chapter; i was so upset, now i cant stop thinking on what’s going on. Please….. realise the next chapter soon.

  50. NanoLaughing

    I was thinking, what if the god of light NOT ONLY take his hair color, but made him give off sexy-male-attracted-pheromones….. My Gods, all the fanfictions I will have inspired to be created with this comment. *grins mischievously*

  51. Sasifras

    I read the first few paragraphs, waiting for Sun to “wake up.” I had complete faith he could bring him back though. If I were him, I would be like “white hair? Why couldn’t you have done that with leaf instead? Judgment is more important.”

  52. AnnieTi

    >>> In truth, I had acted willfully much more than a hundred times in just four years of being the Sun Knight. I still had another sixteen years of my career as a Sun Knight to go.
    Let’s do some maths. They retire at the age of 40 (as far as I remember), so Grisia’s 24 now. He started his Sun Knight career at 20. It’s a little bit of shock ’cause to cope with such matters and to rule whole the Temple it’s not the thing that an ordinary person at the age of 20 can do. So the Holy Knights quite awesome guys =) Thought there was the statement that they’re not ordinary human ^_^
    Mmm… Returning to the calculations, the numbers above are quite understandable, but I can’t get this:
    >>> Over twenty years have probably passed since I first met him, I think?
    Did they meet at 4??? O_o Or is it a mistake and there should be twelve, not twenty?!

    Sorry for my long speech here ^^”’

    >>> The situation is reversed! Interrogation should be what Judgment does, and nearly causing himself to die for no reason and then refusing to say anything about it should be what Sun does!
    Oh, I adore Earth’s talent to hit the nail on the head!!! =)))

    • [PR]lucathia

      The second part has already been fixed (was also pointed out above by 黒!). It should indeed read “twelve” there.

    • AnnieTi

      @[PR]lucathia
      Oh, sorry, I hadn’t seen that comment. And, shame on me, I didn’t mention this:
      Thank you for the update! The story is great and the translation is awesome! I’m waiting for each chapter with much excitement) So, cheers for PR!!! :)))

  53. jam chan

    If you take away the sight one goes blind
    While if you take away one’s hair color it would turn white
    since a dead hair is white in colour .

    I think a caster of resurrection will always loose something in return
    If the caster of the spell were able to perform a complete resurrection spell

    • AnnieTi

      @jam chan
      Because of your comment about dead hair it occurred to me that a caster dies bit by bit within each time he performs resurrection… Each time paying a price for a complete revival he looses something essential for living beings, becoming more dead then alive. …I guess I think to much >_<

  54. Anonymous

    An amusing ending.

    The whole creeping-behind-each-other’s-backs part continues to be infuriating.
    Greatly looking forward to everything finally being dragged out into the light.

  55. Silver

    Earth’s attitude towards Gricia never fails to make me laugh. XD

    Thanks a bunch, PR! :D

  56. egg_sketch

    Most exciting chapter, The whole moment I was like “revive him already Sun!”.
    Ooh..so that´s why he has white hair in the cover of one of the novels…..

  57. Noomico

    So did he put his shirt or no !!??? Did he walk half naked to The other knights XD am sure I want this part to be manga ASAP XP !!! Strange that earth didn’t say any thing about Sun again that he is homo XDD

    • [PR]azakura

      He didn’t it seems @@!! How come I didn’t catch on to that when I first read it. Eep

    • NeoWarriro

      @Noomico
      He probably though that if he said Sun was a homo now, with Stone and Moon bringing him in half-naked, he’d incur in the wrath of the moon, who cares the most about having time with his wife and would kill anyone who would endanger that. After all, if he commented on Sun’s nakedness, he’d also be saying about Moon being with him :D
      Not even Sun would get between Moon and his wife… I think he’d rather make Storm angry!

      Also, the situation was DIRE enough… Joking would be out of place… and Sun would most likely blast him to Kissinger if he dared joke in this situation (with Judgement dead)

  58. Sara

    just his hair???
    cant really buy that, I’m sure he’s gonna pay a lot more than that!!!

    • Duncan Idaho

      @Sara

      well Tvtropes has hinted a few things

      can i pm any of the staff for a doubt i have regarding the god?, as i assume that the staff is well ahead of this.

  59. Premmy

    At loss for words, this novel is so excellent! Im so dying to read next chapter. Will Sun’s dream come true? Will he save everyone? How many parts of him will he lose? So many questions?

    • Jasae Bushae

      @Premmy
      By the end of this, Suns skin will become as dark as Aldrizzt’s and he will be cursed to speak his innermost darkest feelings aloud for all to know~

  60. Miss Plum

    I WILL KILL THE BASTARD WHO DARED TO KILL JUDGEMENET!!!!!!!!!!! Although before I do, sun will already have split the person into two. SUN LOST HIS GOLDEN HAIR!!!!!!!! Run people if you do not want to face the wrath of the strongest sun knight in history!

  61. Cocytus

    Hmm, if Roland cuts himself and drips blood on Leith’s corpse just like the others do… Fortunately there are no adverse side-effects from getting bathed in Death Lord blood…

    Sun is too used to having SIX knights on his left? Exactly how long has Roland been Hell for him to get so used to -six-? Wasn’t Elijah AWOL the whole time he was Hell?

  62. Vae

    I was literally crying when I saw that Lesus died… like I could NOT believe it. My reaction was similar to Grisia’s. I was hoping that Lesus was going to wake up and just be weak and fatigued because I didn’t want Grisia to do Resurrection again… I was afraid of what he would lose this time. ;^; But he didn’t lose anything too serious, and I thank the God of Light for that. ;)

    I chuckled at the part when the knights noticed that Sun and Judgment’s roles were switched *haha* and I feel so sorry for Storm having to correct so many documents… Poor poor Storm xD

    I’m rereading this after literal years, mostly for nostalgia’s sake. In this reading, I’ve come to two conclusions thus far:
    1) Holy shit, Sun was one of my childhood role models and I never realized. I have been a nonsense-spouting despicable person with good intentions and rabid loyalty to my in-group for-actually-ever and I’m just realizing how much of that was probably based on the Sun Knight. This was really one of the cornerstones of my childhood.
    2) I hate this book the most out of all of them, I think. It’s a slog of treachery and cloak-and-dagger nonsense and I just want these idiots to be happy and the world to make sense for them. But that’s not happening, because if I remember correctly then theirs is a long downward spiral with not enough humor and far too much yelling at each other for the next, like, two books.

    Out of nowhere Lesus DIED. Was Grisia’s hair really the only price? Aaahh I have to keep reading.
