Reactions to the Unconscious' Chapters 600-601
Brief summary: CH chases after Amlack. Eru and Mary vs Lighton. Cale instinctively recalls his VoH and Shield AP. CH copies Cale.
We had double chapter today, but despite the tense atmosphere of the battle, the funny moments lightened it up. ๐
First off, I just realized 2E's subordinates had some wordplay going on with their names:
Wind - English loanword of "wind"
Jinmud - Jin is Korean for "mud" and "mud" is English loanword for "mud"
Elwood - Wood is English loanword for "wood", and adding El to wood makes it look like a proper name
Amlack - Am is Korean for "darkness" and "lack" is part of the English loanword for "black" (beul-lak)
Lighton - English loanword for "lighten"
Yes, I should have translated Amrak as Amlack. ๐ BTW, Lighton is the new wanderer that Amlack summoned as reinforcement. He wielded a spear of light and was a former hero who had saved a world. Given that Eru described him as pure without malice, perhaps he might be a potential ally... unless he ends up like Elwood too.
Cale: *used Instant to hold Amlack in place*
Amlack: !!!
Cale: *also bleeding everywhere*
Amlack: ???
Cale: See you!
Cale: *runs away while coughing blood*
Amlack: ???
CH: *angry at seeing bleeding Cale*
Amlack: Why is he angry???
This entire scene was so funny. ๐๐๐ Amlack was so confused why Cale was suddenly behind him and bleeding, and then suddenly running away. ๐๐๐ And CH becoming angry when he should be the angry one because CH stabbed him... ๐๐๐
Amlack: You crazy bastard!
CH: Right. I am crazy. I forgot.
Amlack: ???
Cale: Hehe, as expected, this body is sturdy.
Beacrox: Your laughing like an idiot is the same too, it seems.
Cale: โฆUh? Just now, laughing like an idioโ
Beacrox: Have you gone crazy?
Cale: !!!
Cale is scared because Beacrox's current expression reminds him of Ron ๐๐๐
Eru: Now that I've become younger, my temper has become completely bizarre.
Pardon? You've always been bizarre though... this tsundere dragon... ๐๐๐
Aside from Record and Instant, there were other things he couldโ
โNo.โ
He shouldn't use that power.
Wasn't it kept as classified even within the company, practically sealed away?
The moment he used that power, Cale would lose consciousness, and if heโthe subject of the dreamโlost consciousness, everyone would be in danger.
โYou, seal that thing away forever.โ
Kim Rok Soo had no intention of violating the words that every single one of his team members had spoken in unison.
โIf it were Cale Henituse's body, it would be death.โ
That weak body would surely die.
OMG! ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ 3rd ability hint reveal!!! What do you mean Cale would die if he used it?! And Team Soos told him to seal it?! Is this foreshadowing that Cale might soon use this in his fight against powerful enemies?
Continuing to chapter 601, CH who got angry at seeing bleeding Cale was now chasing Amlack like a crazy killer. ๐๐๐ Lighton helped out Amlack and confronted CH.
Lighton's unique power seemed to be foreshadowing that he would be Alberu's opponent in the future because of their relation to the sun. That is, if Lighton remained an enemy. Even Amlack didn't know why Lighton agreed to work for someone like 2E. Then again, 2E was once a "hero" who saved her world before she turned dark.
The fight was making Cale slowly recall his APs! After he saw his wounds healing, he murmured the word "regeneration" and suddenly heard sobbing! ๐ฅน๐ฅน๐ฅน And then GoD gave him a hint to act on instinct, so when he saw CH about to be hit by the light, he thought of a shield to protect CH, and his silver shield appeared!!! โบ๏ธโบ๏ธโบ๏ธ
โYou reckless bastard!โ
Who, whoโ
Told you to copy me all the way to doing something like this?
Huh?
Cale saw an overlap between himself, who had used Instant, and Choi Han.
Furthermore, he realized.
I hate this.
Ahahaha!!! ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ It's karma, Cale! ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
โYou, you crazy bastardโโ
Amlack could see Choi Han, who was bleeding from his eyes, nose, and mouth, smiling.
โCaught you.โ
Choi Han finally formed a gentle smile.
And he realized.
The reason why he, who always stood at the forefront, had survived until now.
โChoi Han, are you crazy! Huh?โ
A reliable shield had stood by Choi Han's side.
Of course, right now, it was an angry shield.
Choi Han found that amusing.
When he himself had been fighting while heavily drenched in blood.
When he couldn't even bring out the shield when he himself was getting hurt, yet he became able to use it the moment his comrade was about to be injured.
โI think you are crazier, Cale-nim.โ
With those words, Choi Han collapsed forward.
โโฆโฆ!โ
Without being able to see Cale's horrified expression.
How to be like Cale-nim:
โ
use your power recklessly
โ
cough blood and bleed from overusing your powers
โ
faint
What a twist! ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ It was CH who fainted in the end, and not Cale! ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ And Cale's horrified expression. ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ It's karma, Cale.
Ending Remarks
The past chapters were so tense, so I'm happy that we had some funny scenes today to lighten it up! Next chapter would be Amlack's death, I think? CH did stab him in the heart, so he'd be dead soon anyway. As for Lighton, we'd have to see.
