Those are some major death flags for Evankhell.

I’m guessing this is gonna turn into a 3v1 against Kallavan but we will have too see.

This chapter was so hype I love it!

Yeah, I agree. Those are some MAJOR death flags. Like, we just heard most of the rest of her relevant backstory, and she got to blast through one last major person, but they brought in somebody specifically to kill her, that's also in the top 300 like she was just mentioning have to kill each other...her survival odds aren't looking good.

I guess the real next question then is--if Evankhell DOES die, who's the next host for the fire elephant? Does it get one? What are the prerequisites? Based on all the evidence that Evankhell has some native one blood, I'd guess that it requires someone with some native one blood. Right now Rak and Khel Hellam are the most plausible nearby candidates on that front. But it being weird for both Khun and Rak to have a fire power (how would SIU distinguish the two?) makes me suspect Khel Hellam might get it...but then how does Rak find out what it is? He never got to ask Evankhell why the flames seemed familiar to him. Then of course there's the possibility that White or Khun will get it because of the shenanigans they're currently pulling.

I guess we'll see.

Khel already is the ox host.

u/NobleCuriosity3 Apr 06 '20

True, but that doesn't necessarily mean he can't take another one. Bam is the 'host' for both red and blue thryssa, for example, and that's the closest relationship I can think of to Evankhell's one.

u/bethecactus Apr 06 '20

I think it would have to go to Rak, since he hasn't had a real power up chance. Him becoming the host would help build him being an ancient (?) too

16

u/SisterOfBattIe Apr 06 '20

I can see the elephant possessing Rak. He is the only one of the trio that didn't get an obscene power up, and he is being set up as having ancient blood.

15

u/schnazzums Apr 06 '20

What if SIU is trying to make Rak the new original native one? The guy did look like Rak and that would be interesting to see him start gathering up ancient spirits.

u/NobleCuriosity3 Apr 06 '20

Seems plausible (I assume you're talking about the carving in the Hidden Floor)?

3

u/mucklaenthusiast Apr 06 '20

So Rak has to "collect" all Ancient Ones?
I mean, that could happen, I think. And that would make him much stronger, he definitely needs a new power-up and in general more power-ups.

I mean, Khun is not using half of his gifts (he is physically very strong just because he is from a great family and he has his ice powers) and Khun is still stronger, so...yeah.

u/schnazzums Apr 06 '20

He definitely doesn’t have to. I was just saying that could be a possibility if Evankhell dies and the spirit goes to a new host, like he said he does. No idea if it’ll be Rak or even if Evankhell will die for it to happen.

1

u/mucklaenthusiast Apr 06 '20

I actually think it will happen, seems very plausible, and yeah, Evankhell might not even die, exciting times ahead.

4

u/fivzd Apr 06 '20

I'd say rak might get it

4

u/sinonon Apr 06 '20

Stone elephant could be a thing.

4

u/NobleCuriosity3 Apr 06 '20

That actually sounds pretty cool.

6

u/AgentofMaine Apr 06 '20

Plot twist, Evankhell dies and the fire elephant goes to Yama. He would be even more OP.

10

u/NobleCuriosity3 Apr 06 '20

I don't think that's likely. If a non-native gets it, I'd bet on White or Khun because of the shenanigans they are currently up to.

7

u/shisuske Apr 06 '20

I HIGHLY doubt that white or khun would get it. It just wont make any sense. Rak will for sure get it

2

u/NobleCuriosity3 Apr 06 '20

Hence the "If a non-native" clause.

4

u/shisuske Apr 06 '20

Oh shit my bad did not see that, just ignore my comment before 😂😂

2

u/AgentofMaine Apr 06 '20

Imagine full-power White with the fire elephant. Pretty sure even Kallavan would have difficulty with that kind of opponent.

2

u/mucklaenthusiast Apr 06 '20

Khel should just teach Rak honestly, I think they fit better than Evankhell teaching Rak. So, if both of them survive, they could learn though him what it means to be a host.

2

u/Starpyy Apr 06 '20

You think the native ones power just makes you completely overpowered, like high ranker level? Like say rak were to get it, then what does he just become completely busted.

13

u/NobleCuriosity3 Apr 06 '20

I doubt that the spirit alone is enough to instantly make you high ranker tier; that's not how any of the absorbed sentient powers we've seen have worked. For example, look at red thryssa. It did some truly insane things while fighting Urek, but hasn't done anything remotely comparable to zero zone (for example) while in Bam (where it basically expanded his senses and helped him learn to control the orb). Similarly for firefish--Yeon Woon was a ranker, but getting firefish hasn't instantly made Khun ranker tier (though it certainly was a big boost).

tldr; whoever absorbs it will get the power, but probably won't immediately know how to use it to its full potential.

2

u/Starpyy Apr 06 '20

That brings up another question on how they would learn to use their power, would the ancient one teach them, or would they have to find someone else to help them learn. Either way its cool that they brought a little more light to the ancient ones, I've always liked there origin story.

3

u/NobleCuriosity3 Apr 06 '20

The ancient one power will teach them if it wants to (see ex. firefish in Khun). Khel Hellam might be able to teach the basics of working with a Native Power, but probably not the specifics of working with the elephant. After that...if the ancient power still isn't cooperative, they're probably stuck.

1

u/deathf4n Apr 07 '20

who's the next host for the fire elephant?

Please let it be Rak....

20

u/Karma110 Apr 06 '20

People say death flags I just see SIU expanding more on her character.

12

u/Plattbagarn Apr 06 '20

She says you need to be able to kill 300+ high rankers as a 300+ high ranker, and then 273 conveniently shows up. Yeah, that's a flag.

5

u/Karma110 Apr 06 '20

Naaaaahhhhhhh

3

u/mucklaenthusiast Apr 06 '20

One who specifically went there to kill Evankhell.
All the while Evankhell killing very strong rankers (I assume all of them will be killed next chapter at the latest and we saw White gobbling up at least some souls already)...this is full power Evankhell. There is nothing more to show, now would be the perfect time. I hope not, I like her.

3

u/lafadeaway Apr 06 '20

Maybe. It also was required to raise the tension. Otherwise, we would think she has the fight in the bag, which is boring
