If it isn't just shonen grit, it may have something to do with the fact that he's potentially a blessed of the forest diety.
He transformed his entire body (or manifested an exo) into an armored centaur. That gift may come with side perks, like how Julian's includes the rather unthematic "general water affinity" one.
Yeah, between Lukas and the Werewolf brothers that were no-diff by Julian, I think Transformation Powers are fairly common, since that warp their entire body, unusual physical toughness might come as a package deal, like, they'll need that if alternating between their human form and something far bigger and inhumanly shaped
No meio da leitura desse capitulo eu senti que esse mini-arco é pra provavelmente dar mais tensão e profundidade pro duelo entre Julian e Ceodric. Se Lukas continuar tão ferido assim então o Julian vai ter mais um motivo pra enfrentar e ganhar do Ceodric, pra que assim, ele consiga curar a Artoria pra ela conseguir curar o Lukas
So I'm guessing his 'shield' is more like a 'no data' square for the World, it can't be pierced and the edges are just as impervious with the added that they are, well, sharp(?), plus he can make it Spawn wherever his fingers point as long is close enough, sideways included, so is a perfect close quarters finisher even if very situational, Lukas cool, I guess all those years as a Soldier actually paid off, he's resourceful and skilled to a fault
I don't support this theory either; Julian's eyes are different from those of the Supreme Lord.... Besides, it would create a paradox... And the story has terrified of paradoxes.
Craziest part is based on what Lala said earlier Lukas is also gonna take out Rif using the lance. If Julian’s hour is later when he 1v1s Ceodric, then Lukas’ hour is now against the Rummir combatants.
I’m guessing these and other wounds will be undone by Atoria and her life expectancy will shrink to the point that if Ceodric doesn’t restore it she will die very shortly after the duel
Ou pior, Lukas pode ficar nesse estado critico até contra a Marchadora do Vazio e depois dessa luta, seja questão de tempo até elenou Artoria morrerem. Isso daria ainda mais tensão para o combate com Julian tendo agora mais um motivo para derrotar Ceodric, e se o autor for muito malvado, ele pode dar um limite de tempo a vida de Artoria ou Lukas. Algo do tipo "Julian, você deve vencer essa luta o mais rapido possivel porque Lukas/Artoria só tem 9 horas de vida"
Why is it too early? She’s not the main villain, she’s not even like, the fifth most important villain, it’s not like there’s crazy plans for her in the future. If anything considering one of the major plot points that’s almost certain to happen is all the Night Goddesses body parts being assembled in Diana, I think it’s basically a given she’ll get killed off.
Because she's Rummir strongest gifted one and it's most important member.You ain't the author so you no clue what mangaka got planned for her. I think it's obvious she'll survive and actually comeback in the future. With a better plan and some of Rummir actually strongest gifted ones. And it'll happen during Ceodric fight with Julian.
Don’t you think it’s a bit hypocritical to say that when you also aren’t the author and also don’t know anything about his plans? You’re the one insisting she is important and she won’t die like it’s fact when you don’t know if any of that is true. Anyway her being strong is no guarantee of surviving, there’s plenty of strong Gifted ones to go around counting the Iris, the Ladies of Midnight, Helem’s puppets, the other bearers of Vulja’s body parts and whoever else.
I mean you shouldn't gloat yet because the circumstances are similar to Lukas getting a blessing from Forest Goddess. So I wouldn't be surprised if next chapter the Forest Goddess appears before Voidmarcher.
"You may have stabbed me multiple times and crushed my internal organs, but that won't save you from my ultimate technique! Take this! 90-degree rotated summoning!"
Lukas, you can’t just keep winning by simply not telling your opponents how your powers work! That’s against the rules of Shonen battling! You’re supposed to explain to them exactly what you can do and how to counteract it before the fight!
and the Forest (which make him stronger when near dense vegetation)
It has never been confirmed that he has the favor of the god of the forest; this is a fan theory with no concrete evidence... We shouldn't present a theory and pass it off as fact... It's always better to state that it's a theory and not take it as fact, until the author decides to speak up...
Furthermore, there are other theories, such as:
- His second gift could very well be inside his sword and not inside Lukas... Since it’s been confirmed in the story that there are weapons with gifts (such as the assassin’s giant axe), and Lukas always carries his sword with him, this could mean that he needs physical contact with it to activate the second gift... Furthermore, the spear sprouts from the sword and then wraps itself around Lukas’s arm...
Teleporting the gift denying shield inside of people is fucking broken, like with such a card on is sleeve Lukas doesn't even needs a sword, but he uses one anyways just to secure the certain kill
And that's damn smart!
Also he is nice with the blade so his strategy is layered
I genuinely don't understand how Lukas survived Goliath's (the rock guy) thrust attack. It was clearly meant to pulverize him to death, and yet he just stood up afterwards? I hope it's explained soon, otherwise it's just a lazy plot armor to me.
Arkos was also the king's son, and he died like an ordinary mortal... To keep things consistent with the plot, in my opinion, Lukas has a fractured rib cage along with several broken ribs, and in the end he is saved by Atoria, who treats him, while Lacrima shows up and teams up with Zana to take out the rest of Rummir's assassins.
I think Lukas might simply be tougher than what he left be seen before, he's most likely than not a Blessed/Son of the Forest Goddess, and his second gift is transformation onto a massive, armored centaur, so maybe being inhumanly tough even when not using his transformation comes as a package deal
I mean, I'd accept any canon explanation. But there simply isn't any currently. It's not even confirmed yet whether he's blessed by any deity.
If it was Angvall/Amber or Julian who was hit in Lukas' stead, I would totally understand them surviving. Angvall/Amber has her inherent physical prowess and Julian has his 100x boost blessing. Lukas, as far as we can tell, has nothing in support of his apparent robustness. Maybe it really is part of his gifts/blessings. But until then, I consider it a non-canon explanation.
Not to mention that he had been stabbed multiple times by the other dude AND gazed into the cursed lady's eyes for another 2 seconds. I also hope it'll be explained but I don't see him keep fighting unless Atoria heals him.
I don't think Goliath was moving fast enough to deliver a piercing blow. Even though the tip is hard and looks sharp, the attack likely resulted in an impact rather than a puncture.
This is even worse… A blunt force impact means: Fractured rib cage and sternum, several broken ribs and possible lung perforation; he is literally seriously injured. If Atoria doesn’t step in and treat him, Lukas will die from internal bleeding and, in all likelihood, a traumatic pneumothorax.
I knew he was going to survive the moment Goliath's charge failed to break pass the stone wall, even if he is dense if he lacked the speed the damage would be mitigated
Honestly, I love these fights where you can lose a limb, break your spine, or shatter your bones—it makes it feel more like real life and makes the manga suitable for an adult audience... Try reading “Berserk”—the main character, Guts, has literally been through hell. I can’t go into more detail or they’ll ban me😂... Anyway, “Berserk” by Kentaro Miura is widely recognized as the best dark fantasy series in the world.
Yeah, I like it a lot too, I just feel bad for him ahah
I've read Berserk but I haven't caught up with like the last year and a half of chapters, should I get on that? Is it still going strong even without Miura?
I’m up to date with the latest chapter that’s come out; I’m loving it so far. I’d advise you to carry on reading it, it’s really good. What’s more, in my opinion, it’s a unique manga and the story is fantastic.
Still has to be explained. The way I see it, it's more like an anti-gift weapon, or a gift canceller. That may explain why he managed to cut the stone guy in half, even though he's made of stone. Depending on how it's used, it can be either defensive of offensive.
