I've been confused this whole chapter. I mean, I generally get what's going on and sort of guessed it's probably an illusion but for some reason, the transition of events just seem so... weird...
Wow that's one of the most awkward "everything was an illusion/dream" arc I read in a long time.
If the webnovel version is as bad as this I understand better why the novel's translation was dropped.
There is a lot of confusing stuff in this manga, such as why he reacts weirdly to some stuff only to later mention that it is because of habits being mistaken but forgetting to foreshadow properly.
But what confused me the most, is probably why the hell true dragon forms looks like horned mechas!?
so I'm guessing this whole chapter is some sort of mind f*** magic dream made by whoever it was that stabbed him through the chest (who I'm guessing is the reincarnation of the other dragon, the evil one he helped kill so long ago)
I see that Lazy Typesetter is being less lazy by the chapter. Still some emotes are copied from the Spanish TL I'm assuming you release in parallel. Not quite there yet.
As for the chapter itself - I understand it as a sort of endurance run - once you realize it's an illusion you still have to go through all those shit encounters that are more depressing than directly hurtful when you know they're not real.
