Yondome wa Iya na Shizokusei Majutsushi - Vol. 5 Ch. 19 - Preparing For War

[Alex-dono-sama]

wow they really glossed over talea's backstory

 

[Tamerlane]

The bad guy kinda looks like the medic from TF2, not gonna lie

 

[Liquidxlax]

hmm, there were pages removed. I remember the dude controlling the corpse reacted the way he did as the noble orc stuck its dick in the corpse.

 

[Onsokumaru]

LOL the rivalry!

@Kaarme @Goldenzeal the live-dead are more like bodies with no brain activity but with all other body functions being artificially maintained by life magic. She doesn't have a core that flesh golems usually have neither she is a being artificially made that the homunculus are so neither words should used for them.

@_coon_feetus_yeet that's necrophilia and you know it, dude

She doesn't have a core that flesh golems usually have neither she is a being artificially made that the homunculus are so neither words should be used for them.

Well, first off I have not read the novel so I don´t know if she has one or not.
But regardless it doesn't really matter, it's true that most golems have cores nowadays, but originally that was not the chase and there is nothing that says a golem MUST have a core.
The original golem was made from clay and animated by the "words of God" (so pretty much holy power and not a core) by writing the word "truth" on its forehead. ( or sometimes chest )
This was also its weakness as if you removed parts of the word it killed the golem, and the core is usually the weakness of the golems in pop culture when they don´t have the words on them.

Honestly, I have been trying to find out where the "golem core" concept comes from but I have not managed to find a source for it.
It's only in recent times where golems have been given cores, likely too avoid the religious connection towards a more magical one... but again I don´t know where it's from.

TLR
Golem cores have for sure become a big part of the golem lore, but it's not always necessary for a golem to have one.

@Goldenzeal I didn't know about it, it's pretty interesting ! About that, I have to speak some minor spoiler but I will hide it any way

Spoiler

Vandalieu's Golems are not considered the same as the classical golems in this world cause he does them by putting soul with no form(souls that forgot everything about their previous life) in the objects he is animating, so they don't actually have a core as well and resembles a lot what you just said about making golems with divine power, in this case it is done by using his death attribute Mana and souls.

 

[Goldenzeal]

@Shakur

that has some interesting applications considering the MC is basically a necromancer.
Thanks for the spoilers

 

[whodoo]

The author really likes to flaunt his rape fetish, I get it bro. Its starting to get to Wolf Guy levels of bad and annoying.

 

[hedgemoney]

Ahh, Japanese boob jokes. I like them about as much as I like having an asteroid destroy earth. In that I don't, because they are old and tired and I'm sick of seeing the same joke done the same way over and over again.

Rant over.

 

[cullinaire]

Why does the orc have a he-man haircut.

 

[cannarali]

I just noticed this, ain't he actually doing what the shitty god send him here to do, developing this backward world. This makes me feel a little bit conflicted.

 

[Hawkfield240]

I wish human side in this chapter is not a bad guy.... Im tried of human bad bs

 

[Tonikill1]

This kid got his own minecraft kit already lmao

 

[Rukja]

hmm well turning ghoul and live way longer is maybe a good thing for a human?

 

[GrizzlyMelon]

@cannarali Yeah i think so too, thing is even if he is revenge obsessed he is a actual good person so he wouldn't be able to help himself anyway.
It's probably gonna be a point of conflict later tho once he realizes that, man i hope he at least gets to kick that god's ass at some point.

 

[Morose]

Just a note (as someone who has read the Novel translations), the "Revenge" aspect in this series is actually quite non-existent, and shouldn't be taken seriously.

 

[Geohie]

@GrizzlyMelon

Also, he doesn't want the god to even have a moral victory (since even if he wins a fight, the God might try to make him look like the bad guy). So sticking to morals will help him in the long run.
