LCD The Book Eating Magician

Chapter 73: I just caught up in 2 days and damn what an ending. It's a good thing that Vince isn't there. He probably would've been one of the first to die~

 

Translator says they will be going to New Zealand tomorrow. One more chapter after today's double then no chapters for a while ...

*Hopes there isn't a cliffhanger*

FUUUUU. Oh well, there's still another chapter tomorrow

I personally don't think so, not in a sense that he'll get together with all of them. He doesn't seem like the person who is interested in pursuing a romantic relationship. Of course, that may change in the future, such as if there comes a moment where his parents are nearing the end of their lives, and wants him to provide them grandkids, then perhaps, but otherwise, I kind of doubt it.

If you're talking about a harem in a sense where he'll be surrounded by girls who may or may not have feelings for him, then I could see it happening.

 

HOLY SHAT THAT WAS INSANE. and also another one of the sins are there i wonder how they would get out of this one....

 

With MC plot armor and brilliance of course. But this looks like a tough bind that needs innovation.

 

What a bombshell for TL to leave us on for 5 days.

 

MC going to be destroyed by the new deadly sin grimoire holder. Lol

I wonder what ability the new grimoire has? I can't imagine an ability regarding that 'sin'

 

Seems like assimilation so far. Pride seems to have a parasitic relation with the host, and probably take in body parts of other races to build an ultimate species/chimera or something

 

I was thinking the same thing .... and then BAM! I hit into a cliff that's taller and ... well ... cliffier ... than the one from the last of yesterday's double post.

It's probably great for the translator to have so many people wishing she'd come back safely from her trip ...

 

Given that it's the Sin of Pride and based off it's apperance, I think it's a bit like Cell from dbz. It's after the "perfect" body.

 

omo shit is hitting the fan
We need more!

 

Full Metal Alchemist, anyone?

 

So Gluttony is the bro character who possesses the underdog who wants more power to compete with his peers. Pride is the bad guy who shows up with overwhelming strength but is probably going to let the main character go... I wonder if Lust is a book lusting after books or if Lust possesses a host and then proceeds to seduce Theo. Need more!

 

I think that Gluttony is after eating lots of books and magic tools, thus he chose a human who is almost certain to give him those things since they have the longest growth. Other species might not have much of either 'snacks' (at least in this time period) so human it is.

Pride does not want to be bound to an inferior existence (humans) and instead picked the best parts of strong creatures. (This might be the reason it is after Elenoa)

As for Lust: maybe some kind of succubus which gets stronger by taking a persons magic and/or sensitivity to magic?

 

So the 4th function was Colonel Sander's pactio ability, I'm gonna guess that Theo will have a grandpa in his mind now. If he load the wrong personality, he is gonna get overtaken and lose control of his body which I also assume will be happening in the future.

To nobody surprise, Pride's ability was basically a Chimera (lol it really get pissed off when compared to that)

 

It's hard to nail down what the 7 sins are all about in this. Gluttony seems to be hungry for knowledge and Pride seems to want to be the Apex Predator with the best quality traits.

Lust could break from the sex focus, desire for power or wealth for example. Or it could just have a daily requirement of semen intake or ejaculation.

Envy and Greed seem similar and would probably be more straight forward since coveting others possessions is pretty much all encompassing (knowledge, wealth, authority, etc) it's pretty much a toss up.

Wrath would just want to fuck shit up I guess.

 

Pride= to eat strong magic
Greed= eat anything include even weak magic
Lust= eat love magic
Envy= eat forbidden knowledge magic
Gluttony= to eat more knowledge magic
Wrath= eat dangerous or darkness magic
Sloth= eat unknown magic

 

No, the original writer did not wish for the original to be widely spread since it's still based on the lifeblood of his clan, even if he no longer was allowed to be part of it, this is why he altered it and it became slightly inferior to his full-version.
Nothing really changed this, maybe later on he can connect to the guy again and they can talk about it and he could allow him to spread it, maybe something like finding out his clan is gone?
But yeah, he'll break through the 9th circle and 'transcend' or whatever and live for so long that it's a non-issue about returning the book lol.

 

well i think this is off since pride is eating creatures to grow, and gluttony is just eating knowledge.

 

Eat the flesh
Eat the minerals (gold, diamonds)
Eat the essence (no comment lol)

True, and this would also protect them from each other since they don't contain the same base content, like one has DNA and the other Knowledge.

 

Now it's get time to get nursed by 3 beauties with varying hair colours~
Veronica is even more boss than i expected, i was thinking since the monster could adjust itself to resist fire that she'd be handicapped but this was brutal.
