Feels like Orphal being the copycat kinda ruins the whole character. The idea that the copycat was just a normal fake mage was more interesting. Not to mention how Orphal was the most obvious and boring answer to who the copycat is.

I find it hard to believe that with Lith's paranoia that he would let the kids keep going back and forth like that especially without some kind of protection. Personally I would have stopped them from doing it a long time ago.

It's really weird to me that Tista turned into a demon. When this whole thing was first explained we were told Mogar did something to Lith and only Lith which was give him the bloodline of the two guardians to balance out his abomination side. Tista is older then Lith though so that would mean Mogar planned this ahead of time which is odd. I kinda always just figured Tista would never turn into a demon because it sort of opens a plot hole and if Orphal turns into one it becomes a giant plot hole because I doubt Mogar will help him. The only person I would really accept being able to help Orphal turn into a demon is Thrud but even that is a stretch. It almost feels like the original explanation was retconned so the author can turn everybody into cool demons.

So Deirus is able to make baseless accusations against Lith and that's all cool but Lith can't make slightly more founded baseless accusations against Deirus because reasons. Also why is Deirus aloud at this funeral in the first place, you would think the King and Queen would have kicked him out for being disrespectful?

This was basically my first thought when she died. I never liked her character though because she's basically a walking plot hole who the author keeps giving plot devices to make her progress while the other characters feel more natural.

Oh yea, one more thing I forgot. If there is a pin out there that can conveniently stop Solus and other artifacts from being used why isn't everybody using them? Mage towers aren't so scary if you can just enchant some kind of tool to prevent mages from utilizing them.

So basically they spout a bunch of baseless accusations with absolutely no proof to back them up, then the king says "We have to do this because of the law!" which he then precedes to make up on the spot because no law actually exists for this situation, and finally he makes up some random test that even if Lith wins will prove basically nothing? This whole thing is kinda dumb, also I thought in the past Kwart was someone who was incompetent and only obtained Grand Mage or whatever the rank under Archmage was by Derious throwing his influence around? When did he become some genius everybody respects?

I agree, at the very least they could have called them incase something goes wrong. Even if the council as a whole didn't care there is a bunch of people who would have, especially the guardians. This isn't the first time though in this novel the author made up a bad excuse just so things could play out the way they wanted like with Kolga.

Yea I think this is it for the horsemen, this war will remove them from the chess board in one form or another. Not only is Baba Yaga currently rushing around trying to save the children of her people but her kids are off setting the stage for the downfall of the undead race. They have all but proven now that they don't care about the undead in any way. I think they just crossed a line that they can never go back over with their mother and it's not gonna end well for them.

I really want to see at some point what cultivation in this novel is like without heaven and earth messing with things. I assume cultivators are normally born inside the worlds of 10th rank existences that aren't hostile towards them but there has to be somewhere out there where everything started or a separate path that doesn't rely on another existence's energy.

I kinda wish he would stand up to them for once in his life and take a solid stance on this marriage and kids thing. I'm not even sure why he told them what Sarlaark said since it's really none of their business at this point in time.

It really gets annoying how many people constantly tell Lith he needs to have kids, I hope just to spit them he takes hundreds of years to have them. He's really just no where near ready or strong enough, it's probably going to end up making him 1000 times more paranoid. Let alone the fact he still hasn't told Kamila about Solus or that he was reincarnated. It's just a bad idea all around.

See I thought the same thing but really why? Lith was just seen in a crowd of thousands of people with multiple high level beings stronger then him capable of proving he was there. I also just don't see how Lark would buy into Lith being the one who did it even if someone faked his identity considering how much he trusts him. I think the scene was setup to make us assume that Lark thought the enemy was Lith but something else is going on.

Wow Jirni finally did what everybody else should have done this whole time which is to stop treating Zinya like a child and tell her the truth.

The whole car thing being banned was silly in the first place, there is a ton of other ways they could have went about it but instead of even looking into it they had a jerk reaction and banned it while being giant hypocrites and wanting one anyways. For instance they could have a magical license plate that tracks the cars or they could have barriers that cause some kind of forced shut off if you don't land and go through a gate. It's just silly to me how us mere mortals managed to figure out similar things but a society based on magic just throws their hands in the air at the first sign of difficulty.

Lith should call Vastor, I'm sure he would handle Kamila's family better. Also Lith and Kamila need to stop treating their family like children, if they just explained stuff we wouldn't have nearly as many issues but once again Lith puts off telling them something important because he thinks he knows what's best for them.

Soo the extremely poorly thought out plan already failed miserably making it so if Solus didn't exist they would have wasted a life for nothing. Maybe more than 2 hours of recon would have prevented this. It's becoming almost comical how badly this is going and I'm starting to think this along with the poorly thought out plan that almost got Lith killed earlier is supposed to show us how badly the beasts are at military affairs. They effectively just throw bodies at things until they're solved, no wonder the humans rule atm.

This whole thing still is so weird and out of nowhere. I mean seriously they couldn't find anything more without a sacrifice when they only tried for 2 hours? I also don't remember her volunteering for this rather she was ordered to do it.

The only thing I can think of is that things are coming to a boiling point because of the virus but how would the beasts even know that? It just seems like things are conveniently being setup in a way that Lith can retrieve the hands without anybody knowing. They've only been in there 2 hours and it seems like everybody is saying "Whelp we tried nothing and we're all out of options, lets do something drastic that could have horrible repercussions." Maybe something more is going on that Lith and company isn't being told?

The whole thing felt kinda forced. This didn't even seem like an urgent mission or anything considering they must have been at war with them for a very long time. Why not just let Lith and the girls spend a few weeks gathering information first instead of resorting to more drastic means immediately? The city isn't going anywhere.
