*Disclaimer note: This is merely a translation of the original Chinese version. I do not claim any part in the creation of the original story.
After running for about half an hour – with the help of a Divine Wings on myself – I finally found them.
I had thought that they'd be further away; I hadn't realised that they were already so close…… I broke out in a cold sweat at the thought. They probably would have caught up to me if I had spent a moment or two more talking with Ecilan!
But as I approached them, I realised that they had settled down for the night; their camp fire looked to have been raised some time ago.
'Why not continue the chase if they were already so close?' I wondered. But for now, I cast a Holy Protection spell on myself as I observed them, ready to run away at the slightest hint of danger.
To my surprise, the holy knights weren't what I was expecting. Instead of the 'strong, handsome and elegant holy knights' image I had built up in my mind after Caecilia's constant drilling into my mind, they were instead sprawled out clumsily all over the camp area; some were leaning against the trees, some had laid out on the dirty ground and some were even slumped against each other. Sprawled out as they were in their various positions, one could easily tell that they were exhausted.
Each holy knight looked exactly the same. Dirty and tired and sleeping like a log. I couldn't tell which one was the Blaze Knight!
And it's unthinkable that they hadn't even set up a guard to keep watch!
The only ones still awake were Caecilia and Yuna who sat in the midst of the 'fallen' holy knights, looking rather tired themselves. But when compared with the knights lying all around them they looked practically wide awake.
But no matter how wide awake they are, the holy knights couldn't have left those two outsiders to stand guard, could they?
This scene before me seemed rather suspicious. If I was someone who couldn't care less about Caecilia and Yuna's lives and just rained down a number of lightning bolts on them, I might even have successfully sent these 'living, breathing gods' to meet the real gods.
I approached slowly, the stench of unwashed bodies and dried sweat hitting me; it's a wonder that Caecilia and Yuna managed to sit there calmly in the midst of this stench where it's most definitely the strongest.
Just then, Caecilia appeared to have noticed me, for she was staring at me in shock and suspicion, but hesitating to call out. Around us, not a single holy knight stirred; none of them seemed to have sensed the intruder amongst their midst.
I walked out from the cover of the trees under the wide-eyed gaze of Caecilia. I hurriedly lifted a finger to my lips and even dispersed the holy aura from around my face, but still she stared at me in suspicion, not seeming to have recognised me. But why? I'd already dispersed the elements hiding my true face, so she should recognise me……
Just then, I suddenly remembered Ecilan's insistence that I wear a full mask. Could it be……?
I removed the mask.
Caecilia's eyes widened in surprise, before she let out a breath of relief. She then nudged Yuna, alerting her to my presence. Yuna had originally been facing the campfire with her back to me. When she turned around and saw me, she nearly let out a sound of surprise, but managed to cover her mouth in time, stopping the sound from escaping.
I couldn't help noting that whenever they looked at me, their faces would always be turned towards me…… No, it was not their faces, but their eyes that must be facing me.
Why are they different from me? I don't need to face anything, nor do I need to use my eyes to see anything. I can see in all directions just fine without needing to turn my head.
So, when Ecilan said that I was blind…… I softly patted at the area around my eyes. So, I really can't 'see' anything? But, I'm definitely seeing something, I'm just using a different method from everyone else.
Different from everyone else…… just who am I?
I hesitated for a moment before putting back on the mask. I somehow felt more secure at the thought that no one could see my face.
"Creus," Caecilia scurried over to me and whispered, "What are you doing here?"
"They're too fast; they're almost catching up to me. Why haven't you guys slowed them down?" I asked her instead.
She rolled her eyes and whispered back, "You have no idea how scary the Blaze Knight is. He threatened to leave us behind if we dared to even breathe a single word. Even when we pleaded that a necromancer was after us, he still refused to soften towards us……"
"Has he left you behind?"
She glared at me and huffed, "Of course not."
"Well then, if he was going to leave you two behind, why would he bother to say it? He's just got a sharp tongue but I bet he's a softy inside-…"
"And how would you know?" she shot back. "He just might do as he threatened! You've never seen him when he's in one of his moods, it's really frightening! The Blaze Knight is known as the fiercest amongst the Twelve Holy Knights, you know."
"I--"
I was about to say that of course I knew that, when I stopped abruptly. Why would I think that? Why 'of course'? It's not like I really know the Blaze Knight. For all I know, he might really leave the two of them behind. After all, he hadn't wanted to bring them along in the first place, right?
"You finally took the bait."
I gave a start at that, as the dirt beside me blew up and from below came out a person. This person's fire and holy aura was so much stronger than the rest of the holy knights, so it was a surprise that I hadn't noticed him…… I had already known that Ecilan's holy aura was very much stronger than normal, so as another of the Twelve Holy Knights, the Blaze Knight's holy aura couldn't have been the same as the other ordinary holy knights!
I then further realised that those holy knights slumped all around…… there were only seven of them!
The Blaze Knight had placed his huge broadsword at my neck, but I ignored it. I tried to hide the shaking in my voice as I tried my best to speak in a steady manner. "Why did you trick me?" I asked Caecilia and Yuna.
They looked at me and tried to say something, but stuttered and couldn't form a complete sentence.
They couldn't have not known that the Blaze Knight wasn't amongst the holy knights, yet they gave me no hint or warning! In fact, they had even played along with his trick!
The Blaze Knight suddenly gave a mirthless laugh. "Ha, ha! This is the first time someone actually ignored my presence! Well, to show my respect of your bravery, I'll give you a painless death!"
At that, I finally turned my attention to the Blaze Knight and said indifferently, "That's fine, but I hope you won't mind your seven holy knights coming along me."
The Blaze Knight gave a little jerk before shouting, "What did you say?"
"Even though they are only pretending to be asleep, their exhaustion isn't faked." I gave a cold laugh at this. "They were so tired that they didn't even notice me using Chains of Darkness to tie them down until too late. And they've completely missed the bone spikes I had prepared below ground aimed directly at their hearts!"
The Blaze Knight turned to look around and sure enough, he saw his holy knights struggling within their chains but unable to get free.
Surprisingly, he didn't look worried, but instead shouted at his own knights angrily, "Get yourselves free! What the hell are you guys playing at?! To let yourselves become hostages, don't you know the meaning of the word 'shame'?!"
"We-we've tried, captain, but we can't get loose!" one of the knights shouted.
The Blaze Knight was surprised by this, and after a few moments, I said to him slowly, "So, Jacques, are you going to let me go or not?"
He immediately turned to me and asked in puzzlement, "What did you call me?"
"Chains of Darkness!" I roared out, and immediately hundreds of thick black chains sprung up around the Blaze Knight and tightened around him. There, we now have a second cocoon to join Ecilan.
However, the Blaze Knight wasn't ruffled by this turn of events and merely gave a cold derisive laugh. "Using dark magic against one of the Twelve Holy Knights? You might as well try to evaporate a river with a matchstick!"
"Lightning!" I cried out, this time unleashing the unicorn's specialty – lightning magic, and threw all of them at the chained Blaze Knight.
"… Argh!"
Anyone else would have died from the shock of all that electricity, but not the Blaze Knight. He gave a soft grunt before quickly unleashing his light magic in an attempt to destroy the Chains of Darkness, but the moment he had them destroyed, I immediately added on more chains, throwing in several shots of lightning at the same time…… After several rounds of this, the man was still able to stop from letting out any hints of the unbearable pain he must be experiencing. After this impressive display of strength and perseverance, I had to concede that they certainly lived up to the description of 'living breathing gods'. This guy just doesn't seem human.
"Such strong dark elements, who are you?" he asked in suspicion.
My heart gave a jolt at that, for I am the one who wants to know the answer to that question the most!
But instead, I asked in a forced calm voice, "Ecilan said that I'm the Sun Knight. Do you believe that?"
The Blaze Knight immediately let out an enormous burst of light energy, disintegrating all the chains in an instant. Thankfully, the chains on the rest of the holy knights remained intact, so I still had my hostages.
He gave me a derisive snort. "You're trying to distract me by spouting nonsense in order to subdue me!"
He then suddenly charged towards me; caught by surprise, it took me a moment to remember to remind him of the hostages I still had in my hands, but that moment was all he needed, for before I could say a word, he had already closed the distance between us and was standing less than a meter away from me.
"Whoa, hold on! Don't be rash now, don't you care about your holy knights?"
"You wouldn't dare kill them!" He roared as he grabbed me and dragged me closer. "I don't know how you managed to subdue Frost, but it must have been through underhanded trickery. But you are mistaken if you think that I am like Frost and will play by your rules and get tricked by you! I don't care about anything else except to beat you to an inch of your life, you meddling bastard!"
Meddling? I blinked at that description before blurting out, "Oh that's right, you're looking for the Sun Knight, right? But Ecilan really told me that I'm the Sun Knight--"
"Shut up!!" roared the Blaze Knight. "You are not the Sun Knight! You cannot possibly be the Sun Knight!!"
'Can't possibly? I see……'
I asked him woodenly, "I can't possibly be the Sun Knight, huh. So, Ecilan lied to me?"
"Don't you dare besmirch Sun's name!! Sun isn't trash like you! And he would never have harmed a single holy knight, never!!"
And with that, he swung his broadsword at me. At the same time, more Chains of Darkness sprung around his arms, stopping him, but with a flash of holy light the chains disintegrated again once more. But even so, that one moment was enough for me to escape his grasp.
I hurriedly backed several large steps whilst shouting out, "Bone Prison!"
From out of the ground shot out eerie ivory spikes which formed into a grimy-looking white wall, but the Blaze Knight merely cleaved open the wall with his sword.
'Bone Prison!' I added several more layers of the white boned walls between us as I warned him, "Stop! Don't come any closer unless you want to see your holy knights die!"
I tightened the chains on the holy knights, but other than startling a few grunts out of them in the beginning, they kept their mouths clenched tightly, not letting another peep out of them. However, just that one grunt was enough, and the Blaze knight stopped his attacks indeed, although he did look close to exploding.
Even though this fellow acted indifferent to their plight and was constantly challenging me to kill them off, it was obvious that he still cared for them. The moment he heard their groans of pain—no, no. It wasn't even a groan, but more like a soft grunt – he immediately stopped all attacks on me.
But anyway, since I'm not the Sun Knight after all, it shouldn't matter if I were to harm the holy knights, or even if I were to kill the Blaze Knight, right?
"You," I pointed at the Blaze Knight. "Stab yourself with your sword."
His eyes widened in disbelief when he heard that.
"Creus, please don't do this," cried Yuna. "They're only trying to get back the Frost Knight."
"And you believe him just like that?" I asked her mockingly whilst I formed dozens of sharp blades out of bone to hang above the holy knights.
"Stop it!!" roared the Blaze Knight as he raised his fiery broadsword, but his anger and actions immediately halted when I placed a blade to one of the holy knights' neck.
'I knew I had the right person!' I smiled in satisfaction. Since the beginning, I had noticed that this holy knight was the one to answer all of the Blaze Knight's questions; I knew that he would be different from the rest of the holy knights.
"Creus! Please don't!" Yuna sounded close to tears. "Please let them go! The Blaze Knight is one of the Twelve Holy Knights, they never lie! He really just wants to rescue the Frost Knight…--"
Yuna's pleas suddenly trailed off.
'Eurk!'
A shot of pain flared through me from my back, and I belatedly realised that an arrow was sticking out of it. And standing not too far away was Caecilia with her bow in her hands.
The Blaze Knight took the opportunity to swing his broadsword at me, and I tried to step back to avoid it, but the sword managed to cut me, carving a long deep gash starting from my left shoulder across my chest towards my right hip.
Another pain flared through my abdomen as I was kicked down and sent sprawling to the ground. He then kept me down, pressing his knee to my abdomen whilst holding his fiery broadsword at my neck.
But really, I could have told him that that wasn't necessary at all, for I ached so much that I couldn't have stood even if I tried. I couldn't concentrate through all the pain to gather any dark elements to me either. What a pity I hurt so bad that I couldn't even open my mouth to tell him that.
"Creus!"
Caecilia and Yuna ran over to me. Caecilia – the same person who had just shot an arrow at me – was now anxiously pleading with the Blaze Knight. "You promised you wouldn't kill him, Blaze Knight!"
"That's why he's still alive," he said coldly without even bothering to look at the two women.
I smiled wryly. I thought the reason I was still alive was because I had managed to step back a little…… so, what? To the Blaze Knight, this is letting me off leniently?
"But-but……" stuttered Caecilia. She then gave up and turned to me. "I'm sorry, Creus. Just don't make any moves; the Blaze Knight won't hurt you."
'Oh really?' I thought sarcastically. 'Short of killing me, I really don't know what else the Blaze Knight could do to hurt me any more.'
"Let's see this bastard looks like," I heard him roar before a hand was reaching over to tear the mask of my face.
I suddenly stopped struggling and let him. I wanted him to take a good look at my face and see once and for all if I really was the Sun Knight or not. Even if I really wasn't, even if they would now have a face to put to my wanted poster; I just stopped caring anymore.
'Tell me, am I, or am I not? Was Ecilan really lying to me?'
The Blaze Knight's eyes widened in shock.
"You-……"
'You?'
'You are really the Sun Knight?'
Or is it: 'You're that necromancer that's been wanted for ……'
Just what is to follow after that one word 'you'?
Well, I'll never know, for one minute the Blaze Knight was looming over me, and the next he was gone. I clenched my eyes shut and covered them with my hands, as if this could block out what I could already sense.
"Why?!" I cried out in anguish. "Why did you have to pick now of all times to take me away?!"
"Red!!"
I scrambled up and shouted at the little girl, but ended up coughing up a mouthful of blood. Everything started to go blurry before a deep black darkness fell over me. But just before I slipped away into the dark abyss, I could faintly hear the soft pitying voice of a girl saying, "Because they're lying to you, Creus. They're all lying to you."
'Ah, so not only did Ecilan, Caecilia and Yuna lie to me, now even the Blaze Knight is lying to me too?'
'But then, doesn't that mean that everyone is lying to me?'

wha!!! thank you for this!!!
ReplyDeleteI was feeling down for a moment and this made me change my mood quickly
stalking this website paid off XD
Wow. This is an interesting cliff-hanger. What a time for Red to decide to teleport Creus away.
ReplyDeleteThank you for translating another chapter for us. It sure is refreshing to read one of your updates after taking a tough exam. I hope you get to enjoy your weekend.
*sigh* How did the chapter finish so quickly! And at such a cliffhanger too! =( Guess I'm just craving too much for this
ReplyDeleteThanks for the new chapter Lealynn <3 You always seem to have the greatest timing, last chapter was released during my birthday, and this chapter right after my finals ended haha!
Thanks for the new chapter
ReplyDeleteWahhhhhhH!!!!!!!!!! Red you idiott!! I want Blaze to know that he is Sun!!!!!!!!!!!! And it stopped at that part too!! why it has to be that one ?!?!?! *hulk girl mode*
ReplyDeleteoh, and thank you Lealynn!!! >^< *moe mode*
thank you!!!!! I'm kinda down today, but this made me happy !
Wait, you mean you want Sun to know he's Sun, right? cuz' Blaze found out as soon as he took off Sun's mask.
DeleteOh yeah x_x I mistyped. Thank you for that! :)
Deleteblaze knight must be crying knowing all he did to sun niw!
DeleteThanks for the translation! :D
ReplyDeleteTo the one above, i think she teleported him after Blaze saw his face, but before he could say anything.
Creuuuuuuus~! Stop believing the evil little giiiiiirl~ 8[
ReplyDeleteAwesome translation, thank you so much for the update. X3 <3
When it says "doesn't that mean that everyone is lying to me?" at the end, I'm pretty sure that means Sun doesn't trust Red anymore. As he freakin' shouldn't.
DeleteI certainly hope and believe so.
DeleteI'm.... in shock... poor Creus...! just who is this Red girl?...
ReplyDeleteHis mother.
DeleteNo, really.
but already know that, don't you? >:L
Are you joking or being serious?
DeleteIt will give away a lot of what happens in the future if that is explained. Wait and see, or if you cant wait read the summery of the 8th volume, should pop up in google with the correct wordings for the search.
DeleteSpoiler????
DeleteScroll Down...
Isn't red actually pink?
Poor Creus. Tricked by his comrades and hurt by Blaze. I do wonder why Blaze wouldn't recognize Creus's voice.
ReplyDeletei was thinking that to ..... and why didn't Blaze notice that the girls were calling him Cerus? Unless Cerus is a common name for necromancers or something :P
DeleteThanks for the translations. I just noticed Eclispe Hunter and LDSK were updated recently. Reading them made my day 200% happier. Yu Wo is certainly a genius :D
Given Blaze's untrained knight personality, he is rash, possibly simple-minded; too concerned about Creus/Grisia to think straight.
DeleteCreus/Grisia speak in a voice lower than his usual one.
That's what I thought.
YEA!! NEW RELEASE...
ReplyDeleteI have a quiz later on but who cares about that.. i need to read this first...
thank you very much...
Darkness fell over him... Does that mean that Creus died?
ReplyDeleteAlso, he said "black" darkness. Why does he know how black looks like?
Oh, come on... Of course he hadn't died. He's suffered much worse wounds in Book 1 and survived. It just means he passed out, probably from blood loss. And about the black, I try to translate as closely to the original text as possible, and in the text, YuWO used black.
DeleteCreus sold his afterlife to Pink, didn't he? Which means he can be turned into an undead. Even if he died, he would still be able to continue with the story :D
DeleteAnd when someone dies, their bodies gets taken over by dark elements, aka darkness, which can hint to his death.
Thank you for the chapter!
lealynn are you argentinian ? (only asking cus the domain is .com.ar in my computer)
ReplyDeletehuh, really? No, I'm not.
DeleteIn mine is .com.es. I think that depending on the country it changes somehow, strange but it may be like this.
Deletemine is co.uk
DeleteMine is just .com
DeleteWahhhhh such an intense cliff-hanger. This chapter was rather sad. At the beginning of this volume, Creus' identity crisis was all fun and games but this fight was heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteThank you sooooooooooo much for the update!!!!!!!!!!!
they're all lying to you? maybe its just red lying to you >U
ReplyDeleteIt's justified that he thinks so... even if it was to save a knight's life, Caecilia did shot an arrow at him ... and Blaze denied everything Frost told him before, then red goes and saves his life, so of course he is extremely confused
Deletei can't really blame him given the situation he is in...
ohh.. Thank you so much...
ReplyDeleteToday I re-read book 4 from move 3 to 5, and i had been waiting for the update every days.. Hahaha..
I also spoiled myself from another blog..

ReplyDeleteYayayayayayayaya!!!!!
ReplyDeletemizu-kun
Urg!!! I'm really hating Red right now! I can just imagine the hurt on Jacque must be feeling. The suspense is killing me! I really hope Sun realizes who he is soon and returns to his holy knights.
ReplyDeleteWoah! And the drama spikes!
ReplyDeleteNo, seriously, this chapter just raised the tension levels by loads. Though it's kinda cheap that Blaze beat him while he was using a slim minimum of force against him.
Well, Sun isn't really suited to head-on confrontations (he's more suited to back-stabbing you when you don't expect it, like giving you a dud skin mask formula >:D though that might change...maybe) because of how terrible he is with a sword and stuff. Plus, Sun really isn't at his best cuz he doesn't remeber all his magic.
Deleteohhh poor creus XD I really want to see blazes face when he removes the mask ^^
ReplyDeletethank you for the chapter!!!
OMG!!!!!! Lealynn <3 I love you to death!!! You are so AWESOME!!!
ReplyDeleteWell, SOMEbody is lining to you!
ReplyDeleteAnd what an idiot Creus is revealing that Ecilan thinks after going through all that trouble to hide his face. (too many pronouns there but I hope you get the idea.)
Thanks for the chappie. Biting nails til the next one.
I think that Creus just doesn't care any more, and he just wants to know who he is...
DeleteThank you for the update lealynn! <3
ReplyDeleteBut uhhh... I hate the suspense and I feel sooo sorry for Creus at the moment! Everyone has lied to him in some way and now Red is going to lie to him some more. Even someone like him with such a good humour is going to get depressed :<
I hope he doesn't do anything that more that he'll regret!
thanks so much! I guess we have to wiat for judgement knght to knock osme sense into him X3
ReplyDeleteNOOOO !!!! why'd red have to take him away ;_;
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteToo short!! ;_;
ReplyDeleteCliffhanger! ;_;
DeleteNice cliffhanger!!! Who in the hell is Red??? When will Sun get his memories back??? Argh...can't wait till the next chapter.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work Lealynn!!!
Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteThis story is getting so fast-paced. I wonder how Sun will react if he gets his memories back... I meant he hurt his friends- there must be some sort of consequence to that. The anticipation~
I can't wait until Cresus meets Blaze again. Or any of his others knights. He's so alone right now. Red doesn't count.
ReplyDeleteIce doesn't count either?
DeleteOh, so short!!! And so AWESOME! Thanks for the translation, you rock!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see Blaze reaction when he meets Creus again! Poor, poor Blaze. I bet he's going nuts for hurting Creus so bad ;_;
And poor Creus, too! So confused and sad now T_T
Yay a new chapter thank you so much!!!
ReplyDeleteAh and I can't believe Red has such great timing grrr!
Well I suppose now that Blaze knows the truth Creus will have both him and Frost on his side.
Again thanks for your hardwork o(^▽^)o
If Creus won't believe anything they say anymore, then they will really have some nasty troubles... ... Jugde! come quickly and beat some sense into Sun!
DeletePoor, well, everyone in this chapter.
ReplyDeleteExcept the girls. Sun has no luck with women, it seems. Yuna tricks him, Caecilia tricks AND shoots him, and Red has me seeing red at this point.
I love the cliffhanger!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree all theswe women should just suffer!!! Hope they found out that they dared to treat Sun in that manner and hope that Blaze does'nt destroy or hurt anybody since he discovered that he had hurt Sun again! And They would really need to call Judgement and Hell now to get back Sun since he is already being brainwashed by Red.
Thanks for the new Chapter Lealynn!!
\o/
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how upset Blaze is after finding out the person he's wounded so badly is Sun.
ReplyDeleteI mean, Sun did attack him and try to kill him but Blaze cares about him deeply and would never harm him intentionally :(
Agggh this scenario is so heart wrenching! It only shows how great Yu Wo is as an author to affect her readers' feelings so deeply >-<
squee! This chapter is so awesome. You're awesome, for translating this! Thank you!
ReplyDeletePoor Creus, now he's got to be feeling that everyone's betraying him... what will he do now?
I hope they find Ecilan easily. I can't imagine Blaze's shock compared to Ecilan's.
Yay! I only found this site recently and it's so much ahead of princerevolution... (of course, I stalk prince revolution too... 1/2 Prince is also exciting^^) BUT I love you for the work you have with this all and how much time you bring up for us poor people who can't read chinese :3
ReplyDeleteAnd whoo, Blaze is sure cruel... cutting Creus like Roland did, but only on the other side -.-,
I'm secretly asking myself, why did Caecilia and Yuna betray him? of course, he's a jerk now (I like it^^) but Yuna shouldn't have done this (?). I mean she was so rightful all the time, but now... Ok, maybe because she was so correct she betrayed Creus...
So many questions!! Hope you continue in this manner and again THANK YA!
can't wait for the next chapter i am already at the edge of my seat sun is a sadistic bastard i love him LOL
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!
ReplyDeleteOh soooo good! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBut I don't get why Blaze didn't realize he was sun sooner because Yuna and that archer girl kept on calling him Creus, so shouldn't Blaze have noticed?!
hmmm... that's a really good question! Blaze should have known it was at least strange! >:/
DeleteBlaze isn't really known to be the brightest bulb in the bunch, is he??
DeleteHaha, maybe he was too focused on capturing the villain who dared to kidnap frost instead of worrying about things like NAMES.
DeleteLol. Could be Creus is a common name in their country as well, though I doubt it.
Deletelealynn I love you.... yay!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI just realized that Caecilia's a better archer than I thought she would be. She was able to penetrate Holy Protection with an arrow, when Walter's super strong bear form couldn't do it.
ReplyDeleteShame she betrayed Creus, but still impressive nonetheless.
I guess Creus probably did not put up Holy Protection since he was covering himself up with dark elements...? I refuse to believe that she would be that good! ):<
Delete"But for now, I cast a Holy Protection spell on myself as I observed them, ready to run away at the slightest hint of danger."
DeleteApparently, she is.
I think the holy protection wore off or something?
Deleteremember Creus had to check that holy protection was still active before he burst in on the guys who were beating up the grave keeper in vol. 1 or something...
If it didn't wear off then, back when Sun was still severely injured, it wouldn't have worn off as quickly as you're suggesting in this short exchange, where he's still in peak condition aside from his memory loss.
DeleteA more likely explanation is that it's weaker in the back (though, as volume 1 shows, is still active there) , but given that it's Sun it should still be relatively strong.
Well despite him being able to mix dark and light elements without causing an explosion them being in the same place would weaken each other right? Didn't he cover himself in so much dark element that it colored his hair and clothing? Could this be why his Holy Protectin is much weaker than it should have been?
DeleteAlso with how totally he outmatched Eclain, I think he was really underpowered this chapter. Even considering he has lost most of his memory for the magic he has created.
Complete side note, why has he not tried to use any of the other elements? He has used lightning, ice, Dark and light elements... if I could not remember anything in my life (not to mention having every person you had any memories with either betray you or tell you they were abandoning you at the first chance they got), has an ability to manipulate every element I had tried to manipulate and was facing down my second living breathing god in so many days I would be messing around with every element I knew existed...
I don't think he 'outmatched' Eclian, Ice kinda gave in on purpose. Yes, he was underpowered, but he wouldda kicked butt if he still remembered ALL his magic from before ):<
Deletebesides, Dark elements would work best on a holy knight, yes? (although I am wondering why Sun didn't use 'ice' against 'Fire')
ty ty ty ty ty ty ty ty 4 the new chpt <3333
ReplyDeletegah but i wonder what Blaze will do now :o
Thanks for the chapter! Also, can someone tell me what Sun's full name is? I'm confused whether it is Grisia or Creus.
ReplyDeleteI am using Creus Sun as his name. Other sites use Grisia Sun instead.
DeleteThanks for the clarification. I appreciate it.
DeleteI like Creus more :) is that why u chose it or is it just closer from the original Chinese that way?
DeleteSomeone asked this recently on the Revolution! site. The staff replied that they say his name is Grisia because Yu Wo herself said that his English name is "Grisia" on her blog.
DeleteI agree, I like Creus more too. I think Creus sounds better than Grisia*_*
DeleteI like Creus as well.
Deletegood job on another chapter!
ReplyDeleteRED. YOU NO HURTY OUR HOLY KNIGHTS!!!
ReplyDeletePoor Blaze...Poor Sun...Poor everyone...
Gosh I can't stand how loyal the knights are...not wanting to make a noise so it can't be used against their captain...
RED I HATE YOU!!!! STOP BRAINWASHING SUN!!!
Gosh I can't imagine what Creus will do when he figures out he's been hurting his own brothers...and Chikus...I don't even want to know how he's beating himself up now...
T^T
RED STOP TOYING WITH THEIR EMOTIONS!!!
Thank you for the chapter!
ReplyDeleteHearts for you! <3 <3 <3
I just have a confusion.
What does this part mean:
I smiled wryly. I thought the reason I was still alive was because I had managed to step back a little…… so, what? To the Blaze Knight, this is letting me off leniently?
Did Sun survive because he took a step back or because Blaze was being nice?
Love
To me, it seems he thought himself he survived, because he took the step back, but in truth, he survived, because Blaze did not put all his efforts into it. Otherwise, he would be too fast/he would cut too deep/he would give him immediately next wound/...
Deletewhat will happen to sun next? don't you guys think that RED and Pink are just the same person??? can't wait for the next chapter!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the translations!
ReplyDeleteHey.. Doesn't anyone suspect Red and Pink are the same person?..
ReplyDelete1) Little girl
2) name =.=... Red.. Pink.. colour? lol..
But I can't say much though.. If Red is Pink, why would she say that everyone is lying to Crues? She wants him to be his apprentice so badly? Or...
*Spoiler* (Don't know if this really is or not though).
DeleteThey're a completely different person. Though I admit that they're of the same species/creature and position(?).
Thank you so much for these translations!! Even though you had exams.. You're great :D (I wouldn't be able to do it xD)
ReplyDeletePoor Creus T^T
For this much to happen after losing his sight and memories...
And that "Red" is really hatefull >:(
I think she is Pink, I mean it fits. She is involved in weird stuff with Silent Eagle's church (forgot the name :S) and wants Sun (who is a prodigy at magic-at all kinds-) to be her apprentice.
Pink and Red are not the same person. I found out recently that they are both from the Shadow God religion, and they are going to train Creus and Roland to become the Demon King.
DeleteGAAAAAH SPOILER!!!! Please warn us first! I accidentally read it!
Delete*Spoiler*
DeleteJust one of them would get the title, though.
Feliciana Sutanto --> Thanks for the info :)
DeleteFeliciana Sutanto.. r u from Indonesia?
DeleteMan I hope Sun and the other knights can go back to their old relationships without any awkwardness because of how Sun is acting now and wat he's done
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the translation Lealynn, I most seriously love you
First of, thanks lealynn for sharing this with us.
ReplyDeleteI actually start reading LSK from the manga. And when i'm updating my MAL list, i saw it is actually adapted from a novel. I can't wait for more and hoping the translation work for novel is further, i searched for it. I'm glad i found yours Lealynn, totally the best.
Reading the manga and the first few chapters of the novel (rules of the sun knight), I've never imagined this is how the story goes. I totally parked it as humorous, light hearted kind of story. However, reading further, and knowing the knights' background (creus motivation,Roland death etc), i admitted i kind of blindsided by the substantial element carried by this novel. I believe this is when i truly fall in love with Yu Wo writings. (Other than due to 'sun speak' language.
And this,this,this chapter with the cliphanger and the angst, i totally love it. MUAHAHAHA!
Dude, i never think further. i automatically thought red = pink when she first appeared. But, already read the spoiler. Hehe,thanks.
I love Creus more. Cuter and mathched the drawing style of the manga.
Kill the girls. Grr...
no update yet, ;; i tought that maybe this week
ReplyDeleteHappy 4th of July everyone and may everyone have a good independence day :)
ReplyDeleteWhat !?!? It says July 5? I guess it's because the blog and I run on different time zones.......
DeleteWah....thx so much for the update. Cant wait for the continuation......:D hopefully it will be soon
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your translations! Ur eng is really good!! Erm, may i know how far is the real book at alr? And how frequent do u update??? Cant wait for the next update!! :D
ReplyDeletebuaaaaaaabuaaaaaaaaaaa,T.T whats up with Lealnyn, where is she? we miss you a lot¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
ReplyDeleteI think it's okay. I will look sad only after a month without update. :P You have no obligation to tell us when a why not now, keep whatever you are doing now. Thank you for your work till now.
ReplyDelete.......Creus can be really scary sometimes huh?
ReplyDeleteA GREAT translation,Thank you very much lealyne.>_<
by u gys r frgetting smthng.Eventhough Creus was betrayed,if it weren't for them what would amnesiac Creus have done?I mean not knowing who he is,where he is from etc....He obviously would hv bn wndrng aimlesly.So I think He should be a little more grateful to them at the very least.
But of corse I'm not tryng to justify the fact that those two betrayed him.Just stating the fact I think you forgot:-)
I think there is another thing, too:
ReplyDeleteHe forgot about his identity and
he is not using any of his holy skills - otherwise he would heal himself the moment blaze slashed him and wipe all of them away.
Without the need to recite the spells he would almost heal himself
and strike with dark energy at the same time.
So it's not like Creus lost that fight - the creus back there
would ultimately won. It's just that Creus without his memories
and betrayed by his allies lost a fight.
When will we see the next update??? It's been a month of fruitless waiting and it's becoming more and more unbearable...
ReplyDeletewhat actually happen?
ReplyDeletewhy is it that there has been no news?
has lealynn stop translating this novel??
or is she just busy with her schoolwork??
wah....I really wanted to find out what happen....
It's only been a month Lealynn deserves a break at time too. Thanks for the awesome translations you've made for us Lealynn. Hope you come back big and strong. =D
ReplyDeleteyeah i think she's still busy studying. im also checking this page often(god knows how many times) but i don't mind waiting at all. i think this is only a small price i have to pay for the quality of lealyn's translations. more power to you lealynn!!!^_^
ReplyDeleteSorry....
ReplyDeleteit is not like I was rushing her or sth....
I am extremely thankful that she even translate this novel....
I was just wondering why she never told us why she stop translating for 1 month....
If she has told us that she needed a break or she is busy with her schoolwork and will not post for quite some time...I think it will really help a lot so that we can wait patiently...
I know that she doesnt have the obligation to answer or tell us anything but I was hoping that she can at least take pity on us and maybe tell us how long we need to wait for the next translation....
well....
ummm......sry for asking for too much...
but....thank you lealynn for the translation...
n sry if I was disturbing u....
i understand you and agree
DeleteI second your agreement
DeleteWhen will the next one out??
ReplyDeletewe have to wait that Lealynn come back from her coma
DeleteHuh? Did something happened to her?! O.o
Deletei really hope nothing bad has happened to Lealynn since there hasn't been any news from her or any updates....
ReplyDeleteIf you look at her updates from last year around this time, after June, her next update was August 31. It could be that she's just busy during July and Aug, in which case I wouldn't start panicking until September.
Deletei hope thats the reason
DeleteI'd noticed that too, I hope your right about it. But even so I'm going crazy waiting. Not that that's Lealynn's problem if I happen to b an impatient person (meaning I'm not angry with Lealynn, don't bite the hand that feeds you, ya' know?)
Deletewell , last year Lealynn warned us that she got work , and aint got the time to translate.. this year there were no warning O.o that's what i'm worried about
ReplyDeletenow im really worried...
DeleteNooo! I'm starting to get worried too! TT^TT... LEALYNN~~~!
Deletelet's wait a little more, everybody needs 2 or 3 months of free time.If we are lucky maybe she will log on and tell us when she will be back.
ReplyDeletethank you for your translations!
ReplyDeleteHoping lealynn posts something soon... Princerevolution is starting to catch up and I really do prefer to reading her version against theirs...
ReplyDeleteReally wants to know what happens!!!!
Lealynn!! it's already August!! *cough* welcome, august! :)
ReplyDeleteare you okay? did something happen? I certainly, obviously, hope not.
and I thank you for all this time, and I really hope you will keep continue translating.
Greetings from Indonesian and your fans. :D
... *Indonesia, not Indonesian
ReplyDeleteShe ditched us because all of you are so impatient. She have a life you know. She is not getting paid to translate the novel; she is translating out of her kindness. So shut up, have some patience, and hope she come back.
ReplyDeleteWell, that was rude. Although I can see where you are coming from, saying that Lealynn ditched the translation because readers were "impatient" and then telling them to "shut up" doesn't seem right to me. She never said anything about ditching the translation so please don't accuse us readers for being the cause of her absence. Many of us readers commented because we were worried for her health. We know that she's not getting paid and the translations are out of her kindness. We get it. We do have patience AND we are waiting AND we are hoping she hasn't disappeared and keeps on translating. So, please refrain from being discourteous here. We just all wish the best for her well being. Thank you.
DeleteAgreed :p
DeleteAlso agreed, we love Lealynn!
Delete"cough" look's at the 3 ads on every page of this blog "cough" yup.. not get anymoney from these ads.
DeletePlus occasional donations from some fans in a free blog site *cough* Not that I am complaining though. I'm extremely thankful that she's translating and she can take all the time and rest she wants too, but I'm not pulling a wool over my eyes.. there are no free meals in this world! :P
Delete....actually, I don't mind if she decide to take a break for 1 month, 2 months, or even a year, as long as it's not dropped.
ReplyDeleteAfterall, it's only been 7 weeks since the last update. So please, calm down.
Getting offline for 2-3 months is not that weird.
I don't mind either, she deserves a break, but she always tells us when she's going to be gone beforehand, I'm kind of worried... I hope nothing bad has happened
Delete-cough- if shes g one for another month, every1 will be reading ad prince revolution scans, who is will be caught up to lealynn at the end of this month.
DeleteA year without confirmation and news at all~.
Delete@_@ that will criple my heart. Anyway i just said that oh that guy already drop it since one year is way too long for me to write.
Btw my biggest thanks is to lealynn since her choice of character name is much cooler then the princescan. Creus or grisia is like choosing between meat or vegetable.
of course i will choose Creus
But isn't Creus a made up name? From what I've heard, Grisia is similar to what the actual Chinese sounds like, not to mention the author's official English name for the character.
DeleteSo? Creus sounds better, to me anyways. And I'm not sure if it's like a real real name, but I just googled it and some ppl came up so it must be some kind of name
DeleteNo, it doesn't matter if it's a name irl. I meant how do you get Creus from 格里西亞 (Gé lǐ xī yà)?
DeleteIm positive she'll post it this month.
ReplyDeleteExcluding Creus, I love Blaze Knight the most! kyaa! can't wait for the next update!...
Really? How did you know?? I really hope that's true! ><
DeleteYou guys know it is summer, and i for one have had a lot of vacations, it's hard to bring a comp with you, not impossible but uncomfortable, so she's probably tired from some tropical vacation, or some amusement park
ReplyDelete...or a part time job, summer classes, joined an evil organization, been abducted by aliens, etc etc. Lealynn historically has a blank between late June and early September so its understandable if she doesn't post anything in July/September.
DeleteIn other news, PrinceRevolution (solid, but a little inferior in translation quality I think) will be catching up to Lealynn and will have done a few more side stories by the end of August. It'll be a race for new chapters in September. ^_^
You kidding me? Inferior in translation quality? They have a group of translators, complete with proofreaders versus Lealynn translating alone. While their way of translating is a little too 'posh' for my taste, it's anything but inferior.
Delete...yes and that just proves my point. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing bad about the translations they do per say, and they are a great group with great translations. However, if you prefer one translation to another due to the style and tone used then that translation is superior to the other (which by default makes the other one inferior in OPINION).
DeleteThe part that sealed that for me is the silence of the scale mail/holy robe in book 3 step 4. Lealynn added the ellipsis ('...' if you didn't know) and Sun then comments on the noted silence and the pointlessness of being silent if you can still note it. PR left that part out and thus throws Sun's comment out of context making the passage slightly more awkward to comprehend in comparison.
Of course it's all opinion in the end so endlessly debatable.
I also prefer the names lealynn uses so i do think hers is superior
DeleteReally? I love both version. There were part where I like the description she use here but there were part that Prince Revolution better. About name is like that too. I think they're equal.
DeleteFor example: Lealynn's words are better in describing Grisia's inner words but I found PR's line are better for his graceful 'outside' line. It's more confusing and we can experience the headache people get if they heard Grisia talk. When, it's true that PR translation's words are too polite or structured or too good when it comes to negative comments which Lealynn can bravely put it better. ^^
That's my opinion. ^^
Hmm clearly the tone I had earlier on was very rude (I'm the 2nd reply), I'll have to apologize for that! When you said inferior in quality, I just jumped straight to the assumption that u meant they did a bad job, which would not do justice to them since I think they do a great job in translation as well, so sorry bout that =p In any case, I'll be following both PR and Lealynn's rendition of this great series!
DeleteJust because prince revolution has more people doesn't make them better.
ReplyDeleteIf you think more people automatically makes them better at whatever, then you've got a very bad sense in what is good and what's bad.
PrinceRevolution is catching up. Their group works at a steady pace. But Lealynn's translations just have much more charm. Yu Wo's humor is captured much more brilliantly. The humor feels more natural, while I find PrinceRevolution's work has this kind of gap so I can't connect to the story as well. But that's a matter of opinion. Lealynn, I love your work. I'm waiting for you. We're all waiting for you. Thank you so much.
ReplyDeletePR should catch up by the end of this month with B4M6. Also, they finished translating all the trainee side stories (Lealynn only did a few) and are also translating the "Unbeatable" side story featuring Neo. I suggest people check them out and give them props for their work.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for them to finish off 1/2 prince and maybe pick up ID next.
It'll be better if they pick No Hero, the sequel of EH, later.... Since Odd Squad prove that they would most likely need a long time to finish EH. I really want to read the continuation of the story where Asmodea left off...
ReplyDeleteLealynn's where are you????
ReplyDeleteAre you alright????
We all worried about you...........
T-T gambatte nee!! >.< we're all waiting for the next chapter.. thanks you for the translation ;3
ReplyDeleteNever Fear Lealynn!
ReplyDeleteMy hope has not been diminished yet; I still visit your page everyday!
I am a addict to your translations, so come back as soon as possible.
Hope the summer has treated you well. I positively await for your return.
this comment is so funny^_^v -lol..but i feel just the same as you
DeleteLealynn Forever!!!
DeleteHer translation are so far the best there is! ><
*eagerly waits everyday* though *waiting for full volume 4 before me start reading again* because after chapter 6 made me cry lots*
I really can't wait to read the next chapter XD
ReplyDeleteLucathia informed me that their next project after Half prince is Female warrior, its just a short series so at the moment, they have their fingers crossed over no hero. Id is out of the question since its korean and not mandarin chinese. Nevertheless, its already sure that it will be another yu wo novel.
ReplyDeleteI just found out about Lucathia blog too! Everyone goes check it out: http://lucathia-rykatu.livejournal.com/
DeleteAnd there is also a summary of the 39th generation Legend of the sun knight that follow up the current 38th generation holy knights. The kids that the 38th generation pick are all so funny!!! XDDDDD
Here is the website: http://lucathia-rykatu.livejournal.com/249571.html#cutid1
still counting the days...i really hope lealynn will come back soon...
ReplyDeleteYup I really hope too...........
DeleteTAT please come back soon. T___T
Deletehow about gong hua? (expecting eyes)
ReplyDeleteGong hua was never mentioned. Maybe there are a lot of better options with better plotlines and humor, i guess theyd give those more priority first. Anyway, its a dark story which revenge as the main plot. As for me, I would like them to pick a lighter story, such as no hero and such.
ReplyDeleteI miss you Leannly! I hope you come back soon from illness, classes or vacations! =)
ReplyDeleteYep We miss you Lealynn's. Please come back soon............
DeleteIt's been 2 months now......
Deletedo you think we will see an update on the 30th or the 31st? im surprised there are no updates yet - i dnt want to loose hope.. T_T
ReplyDeleteMeh...take a look at the previous years on this blog. Historically Lealynn is gone around this time and returns in September. Sometimes you just have to deal with life before going out and playing.
DeleteThough if you really want to show support you could always click the 'DONATE' button and show some (monetary) love as well.
My Brothers, This lowly servant believes that her holy highness will return soon to grant us a reward, as i am sure that her highness is pleased with our continued efforts of support.
ReplyDeleteMy fellow brother, I too hope that our holy and forever benevolent highness may return to educate and to guide us, her loyal sheep, in the form of words. I too hope she will be pleased with our voices of encouragement and support.
ReplyDeleteAs fellow brothers and sisters of the church of the benevolent sun goddess, we must wait and believe in her fast return, and while then, as members of the holy church of our god, we should strive to guide the lost sheeps of the church of war and church of chaos, returning them to the righteous road, as everyone should know, a god's power is equal to it amount of supporters. ;P
ReplyDeleteI hope Lealynn won't be discouraged that PrinceRevolution caught up with her translation.
ReplyDeleteI hope this would fire her up and make a lot of translation this month.
We'll know soon enough. Welcome SEPTEMBER!
Approximately 130000 view to 1 million. :)
ReplyDeleteMy fellow brothers.. how delighted are we to see ourselves banded together as we wait for the return of our highness. May the benevolent God of Light guide us not to astray and give light to our fellow brethren as we support she who has given us much hope.
ReplyDeleteMy fellow brothers and sisters, may the sun light god grant us with the light of happiness and joy. May the sun light god show his mercy and bestow us with a present. May the sun light god shine his kindness upon us, filled with warmth. May he finally bring is more updates in September~~
ReplyDelete-said by the priest of The Church of Light
Amen...
DeleteAnyone know where i can read the summarys of books 4-7 found 8.
ReplyDeletePR has synopsis of all books. i don't know any summaries. isn't it better to read the whole book instead of spoiling it for yourself? No offense, just asking.
DeletePeople have their own opinions, it only a summary anyhow
Deleteyou do realize this is book 4, and it will be another 2-3 years before this series is finished translating, Why wait that long? isnt it a pain? i dont have the patience to wait
DeleteThen brush up on your foreign languages or quit complaining. Translating is a hobby of Lealynn's. It isn't her duty or something.
DeleteIt's September already! Hi Lealynn!
ReplyDeleteBER months is here! Merry Christmas, everyone!
wow, the number of comments has reached 191(the most for any chapter translated and posted here) yet we haven't heard a reply from lealynn.
ReplyDeleteIt's September, and I hope the God of Light will shine warmly upon us while granting a most benevolent blessing through her brilliant messenger, Lealynn. When the God of Light grants her humble servants' earnest wishes, I'm sure we will all be overjoyed as we bask in her light.
ReplyDelete4103 visits until 900000!!
ReplyDeleteIn a week time it will be 3 MONTHS since we have a notice of Lealynn!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't who tink is really strange that Lealynn hasn't notife us about her disapearance?
Maybe this time something big has happened!!!
It's 3 MONTHS!!!!!!!
Everyone deserves a good, restful vacation. The God of Light's brilliant messenger Lealynn must surely be resting up from last year's hard work. And of course, this year will surely be a blessed one as well.
