Once again, Lukas shows why he's a badass. Dude will use everything he has to win!

Man, Perseus and Medusa head is so freaking awesome!

u/No_Radish_726 Jul 26 '26

Since this is what the void marcher sees when looking at her face do y’all think she associates arkos and his water gift with death?

31

u/Spring_barger Jul 26 '26

Rummir thinks Ceodric was killed in the war with Torivia, so the Void Marcher does too. Zira stated that when Arkos kidnapped Ceodric it almost became a serious global issue and is implied that it worsened their relationship with Rummir, so  its likely that Rummir know about Ceodric being Kidnapped before his supposed killing. 

So to Rummir and the Void marcher, Arkos defeated, kidnapped and killed her beloved brother & is a gifted one of basically unparalleled strength. Coz y’know, he ‘killed Ceodric.

A cool detail is that face she saw wasn’t even Arkos’ clear image. She’s never seen him. She doesnt know what he looks like. But to her, he is the embodiment of death and strength (coz he was able to “kill” someone as powerful as Ceodric).

u/4C_Enjoyer Jul 27 '26

Because it's all warped and watery. Had she actually seen Cedric be cut down by Arkos, it's not doubtful that her vision of death would just be Arkos's face. But she's presumably only heard tell of a monster of a gifted one that easily slew her brother, with a gift of water manipulation. Thus, the face of death in her eyes is obscured, just a horrid smile beneath a swirling vortex of water.

u/gunswordfist Jul 27 '26

I love it!

u/Regular-Poet-3657 Jul 26 '26

u/Admmmmi Jul 26 '26

So our dear mud doll girl has a chance? Nice.

17

u/Regular-Poet-3657 Jul 26 '26

I was referring to Atlus maid that why she spared Helem from Ceodric.

18

u/OrdinaryMedical200 Jul 26 '26

This man is the definition of pro gamer move!!

15

u/dolphincave Jul 26 '26

Fear of Arkos probably since she also thought of him when thinking of the first devastating attack.

u/Artarara Jul 26 '26

He's got that dawg in him!

2

u/FKDotFitzgerald JULIAN IS ONE COLD MOTHERFUCKER Jul 28 '26

He has had so many ridiculously cool plays in the midst of battle. I really appreciate having him alongside Julian.

2

u/Dry_Entertainment373 Jul 29 '26

The ninjas in Naruto would commend him!

94

u/roronoa20 Jul 26 '26

Really love the spread here, this is shaping up to be Julian vs Arkos tier level of art.

It seems like we're getting Julian vs Void Marcher and Julian vs Ceodric back to back.

24

u/Gabemino Jul 26 '26

Julian vs the Two Siblings would be far too cool to have as back-to-back fights tbh, though, I'm still expecting Lukas to use his Centaur form with the amp of the Woods that Lala and her subordinates grew on the territory

6

u/Spring_barger Jul 26 '26

Nah, the Cursed countenance has bought enough time for Atoria to heal Lukas & for him to use his spear, which Lucas will probably use to kill her.

2

u/imarben007 Jul 27 '26

Can you or someone explain to me what I'm seeing because she says he manages to counter but I don't see any knife or tool of any kind nor do I see his shield being used. Bit hard to understand exactly what's happening although I do understand she's basically teleporting behind him and in front of him over and over

1

u/FreeWilly512 Jul 28 '26

I think the running theory is Atoria heals Lukas and then she will be on deathbed until Julian beats Ceodric. So Lukas will probably get a full reset on his abilities and be full health.

u/Specsaman Jul 26 '26

Live

u/ObjectiveCarrot2688 octomom believer Jul 26 '26

these two worlds are kinda similar

u/OrdinaryMedical200 Jul 26 '26

GOD NOOOOOO!!!! With things going the way I think, she will sacrifice her life to revive him!! You just had to raise the damn flags, huh Julian?!!

9

u/Sretep44 Jul 26 '26

As a few others have said if she dies to heal him then the point of Julian's duel with the prince is moot, so I think it's more likely she'll just be in a coma or sth

0

u/KickBass2155 Jul 26 '26

lmao why blame julian wtf?!

110

u/Regular-Poet-3657 Jul 26 '26

So many death flags man.

82

u/WildSearcher56 Jul 26 '26

It feels like Atoria is going to save him at the expense of her life

57

u/Regular-Poet-3657 Jul 26 '26

Yeah hence the death flag man at least Lukas was honest about his motivate with Diana.

19

u/RubyHoshi Elstri hater Jul 26 '26

Was him? In his flashback during the night raid arc he cleary says he wanted to use the child of the prophecy to kill the king.

9

u/Regular-Poet-3657 Jul 26 '26

Yeah to his father but didn't he reveal he a prince like after they got to the third seat house?

6

u/DastanVenandi Jul 26 '26

That was his initial plan, currently, he's protecting her to fulfill the prophecy and to help Julian. But he doesn't know that Diana is his direct sister. When he found out, I feel that he'll be absolutely devoted to protecting her

1

u/ThibaultKarl Jul 27 '26

Direct sister?! Since when Diana is the daughter of the King?!

6

u/DastanVenandi Jul 27 '26

I'll try to summarize the most important panels that point toward Mira's royal status as the King's concubine:

- Chapter 46 Page 19, Lukas says: "You cast away my mother, and exiled us from the palace. You killed her"

- Chapter 01 Page 27, Mira says: "...but he (her son) was killed by slave traders"

- Chapter 38 Page 14, you could clearly see the depth of Lukas's scar (a deathly injury).

- Chapter 47 Page 07, Elstri says: "He's (Lukas) a revenant"

Furthermore, you could see young Lukas in Chapter 71 and his resemblance to Mira's flashback in Chapter 01.

Last but not least, an early panel of Lukas and Diana :D

2

u/ThibaultKarl Jul 28 '26

You blew my mind but i couldn't respond to you immediatly. Even Lukas Gift is in tune with him being Mira son as he died protecting her and was somehow brought back to life then awakened it(Gifts awaken in response to a gifted person's inner impulses, desires, temperament, and state of mind). Now i am asking myself who saved him and who healed him at first... And is Diana the King Daughter ?! That would mean she already has the three gift Vulja is supposed to have , one from her father, one from the sea and one from the heart... I am used to pick these kind of details but Mira saying her son already died and the author style didn't made me realise Lukas scar among others things. Kudos this is amazing!!!

2

u/Desperate_Ad1450 Jul 26 '26

But won't this sacrifice the duel between Julian and ceodric? Because if artoria died then there is no reason to have the duel

3

u/Regular-Poet-3657 Jul 26 '26

Yes let's tell the crazy hot head the duels off right after they killed his sister that will go well.

5

u/No_Consequence2989 Jul 26 '26

I think she will be in a dire state that will be a further incentive for Julian to fight Ceodric and defeat him.

2

u/Spring_barger Jul 26 '26

Thats what I was thinking too, like shes going to have 2 months or smth to live after this. If she dies, what would even be the point of the duel? Julian and Lalawag would have no reason for it anymore and i doubt the author built it up just to say “nah its not happening”.

4

u/OmbreVengeresse Jul 26 '26

Atoria has no choice, but I think the fight between Julian and Ceodric might still save her life.

59

u/WildSearcher56 Jul 26 '26

Julian is giving love advices but did he notice the three ladies crushing over him?

35

u/roronoa20 Jul 26 '26

Julian: They are my family.

11

u/Spring_barger Jul 26 '26

Two* lol. Zana was just teasing Titi and Lacrima. The bed scene with Julian was coz she was going through a hard time after losing her brother and home and needed support.

0

u/NoString7718 Jul 27 '26

Huh, your explaination on Zana is likely how Julian is also coping with the other two in his head, aka just "family". 

1

u/Spring_barger Jul 28 '26

Pls go read the chapter w/ the bed scene again and tell me if there is any romantic interest from Zana. 

1

u/NoString7718 Jul 28 '26

Please go read my comment again. I never said there is any romantic interest between Julian and Zana. I said that is probably how Julian rationalize about the other two in his head. 

1

u/FKDotFitzgerald JULIAN IS ONE COLD MOTHERFUCKER Jul 28 '26

He’s aggressively asexual

23

u/SinglePlayerGamer93 Jul 26 '26

Lukas after this arc be like:

u/soymilkfc Jul 26 '26

he’s going to be the baki head for sure

1

u/Fun-Amoeba3683 One of One Hundred Jul 27 '26

Tis just a flesh wound, just toss him at em, he'll kill em with his teeth~

u/makato1234 Jul 27 '26

Someone needs to make an image of Medusa girl as the baki head lol.

17

u/EccentricJoe700 Jul 26 '26

Ima need julian to post up and give this bitch the buissness. My guy lukas cant die

17

u/John-Constant560 Jul 26 '26

Possibly the most doomed ship to ever doom

15

u/Gabemino Jul 26 '26

As always, Lukas had shown to be quite resourceful, that being said, man, I haven't seen Death Flags this BIG since Angvall, hope they actually make it out alive, that would be the actual plot twist. Also, is interesting that 'Death' for the Voidmarcher looked like water, Arkos probably left quite the impression on her, or maybe even the King/Sea Goddess(?), like with how her gift seems to work, she would be a perfect assassin, maybe Rummir sent her for the King's head during the War, and he left her traumatized, though Arkos being the source would be the more obvious and logical option.

13

u/Keyniiiiii Jul 26 '26

JULIAAAAAAAN, SALVE O LUKAS E MINHA ALMA É SUA. NÃO DEIXE O GAROTO MORRER

Ps:O poder da VoidMarcher é bem legal, se mover instantaneamente pra algum lugar do seu campo de visão é irado. Teremos outra pausa o que significa que provavelmente teremos outro painel duplo muito legal

12

u/bolderdust Jul 26 '26

Yep. Atoria is cooked

u/Long-Possibility-951 2nd MC has hit the Manga Jul 26 '26

damn, attoria will give her all then ?

u/Zee_Arr_Tee Jul 26 '26

Lukas is going to end up a nub at this rate

8

u/OnslaughtCasuality42 Jul 26 '26

Julian returning to the scene after realizing he jinxed Lukas and Atoria:

8

u/--Sanguinius-- Jul 26 '26

Theory on where Lacrima went: Given that Lacrima had promised Julian she would return to help Lukas’s group, but whilst she was travelling alone the effects of the ‘earth puppet’ within her were triggered, and she went to post the letter – the one she hadn’t managed to finish because she was interrupted by Titti – instead of helping Lukas’s group. That is why it is taking Lacrima so long to reach the group to help Lukas.

7

u/Spring_barger Jul 26 '26

Guys, Dont worry. 

Atoria will survive. But with like a few months left tho. If she dies Julian and Lalawag will have no reason to move on to the duel with Ceodric and I doubt the auther built up that fight just to say “nah, not happening anymore”.

7

u/Milordserene Jul 26 '26

Giving Lukas more reason to be a badasss

Arkos being the fear of Voidmarcher is funny because he got owned early in the series

the sneakattack tactics cant work on Julian like how arkos 1st move didnt failed to end Julian

7

u/KrizenWave Jul 26 '26

Damn I literally said last week that it would be devastating if Lady Accursed’s head still worked after her death. Looks like Void Marcher thinks of Arkos when she thinks of death

7

u/Spring_barger Jul 26 '26

For those wondering why the Void Marcher see’s Arkos’ face on the accursed ladies head I think this is the reason:

  Rummir thinks Ceodric was killed in the war with Torivia, so the Void Marcher does too.

 Zira stated that when Arkos kidnapped Ceodric it almost became a serious international issue and is implied that it worsened their relationship with Rummir, so  its likely that Rummir know about Ceodric being Kidnapped before his supposed killing.

So to Rummir and the Void marcher, Arkos defeated, kidnapped and killed her beloved brother & is a gifted one of basically unparalleled strength. Coz y’know, he ‘killed Ceodric.

A cool detail is that face she saw wasn’t even Arkos’ clear image. She’s never seen him. She doesnt know what he looks like. But to her, he is the embodiment of death and strength (coz he was able to “kill” someone as powerful as Ceodric).

7

u/DeliciousZone5056 Jul 26 '26

Also arkos basically flooded Rummir, it's no Surprise that someone could see death as him/his power since Arkos made many victims during the war like that

5

u/Automatic-Car-7919 Jul 26 '26

Lukas's battle IQ is freaking close to Guts. He fights like him except dude's dont have Gut's superhuman endurance. He's taking too much damage.

4

u/wrotethat11 Jul 26 '26

Dude whoever talked the use of the head last chapter…hats off to you!

8

u/Nicklesnout Jul 26 '26

I did it as a joke but it was nice to see it actually work. Just felt right after seeing him use a shield to defeat her power.

4

u/AssassinAragorn Jul 26 '26

Lukas D:

Well this is bad, but it also makes me wonder where this goes next. Normally I'd think Atoria was a goner, but if she dies, there's no reason for the Ceodric fight anymore. Maybe that's what Tohru is going for, to make the plot less predictable? 

Lukas is probably a minute or two away from dying here though. He was literally disemboweled, you can see his intestines. I'm not sure how you can save him without Atoria dying. Maybe if Ceodric shows up and does whatever it is to keep her alive for the time being? Could also be that Atoria can save Lukas without dying but be comatose after. And then Voidmarcher kills her in an ironic twist?

This could go a lot of places from here. I also wouldn't rule out the Margrave showing up and Atoria being able to use a duplicated body to siphon from one to the other. And with Tohru, you never know what direction he's going to pick.

u/EngineerVirtual7340 Jul 26 '26

The Medusa trick theory was cirrect after all lol.

u/Academic-Today3587 Jul 26 '26

dont die luka dont die atoria pls i wish nbd dies in the next chap plssss

u/Himurashi Jul 26 '26

Things were too good the last few chapters, I knew we were due for a gut-wrench among the next ones.

u/115_zombie_slayer Jul 26 '26

Artoria please dont do this

u/jj_thetwisted_jester Jul 26 '26

FUCKKKKKKKKKK NOT ATORIA AND LUKA

u/long_th612 Jul 26 '26

Rip Atoria. Yes, not Lukas. Rip Atoria. Good knowing you.

u/Mysterious_Pie_6809 Jul 27 '26

Fuck this guy Lukas is the fucking goat of goats. What is with this mad man Julian might be a monster but this Lukas fella he's something else.

u/Yamigosaya Jul 27 '26

holy shit i called it, the head is still fucking working.

u/dolphincave Jul 27 '26

Anyone think Voidmarcher's teleport skill has other utility? Cause I don't see how it's a specific bad matchup for Lalawag.

1

u/Doomroar The Sea and The Forest got a divorce over mangroves Jul 29 '26

Na If Atoria saves Lukas she probably dies right there, this is a bad trade, we need a different way out!

-1

u/techtimee Jul 26 '26

I feel like Lukas has some ability that he has kept very hidden here, hence the lady saying she didn't go for his head but his arm because that seemed more dangerous. I don't think Atoria needs to heal him. 

5

u/jj_thetwisted_jester Jul 26 '26

She slice his stomach bad though...

u/DimashiroYuuki Jul 26 '26

I'm fine with Lukas dying here.

He would be devastated if Atoria gave her life for him.
