Dungeon Meshi Chapter 26
Get in here
>>48290853
RIP.
>>48290853
>>48290860
Yup, dead confirmed.
I wanna eat that dragon!
>>48290895
Laius plz
>>48290895
>imouto is dead and digested
>this guy shows up
How tactless.
>>48290895
What would dragon taste like?
Is it chicken?
why does everything taste like chicken?
>>48290941
Wow, Marcille is better at this than I expected.
>>48290853
DONT DO THIS TO ME
DONT DO ME LIKE THIS
>>48290900
I wonder if elf-dwarf wars have stared like this.
BAD END confirmed !
>>48291084
This is not good.
>>48291102
>>48291102
>>48291102
This...this is a fakeout, right?
>>48291102
Not a good end.Pretty short and unsatisfactory desu
>>48291102
>>48291126
Yes, it's just another dragon who happened to have the same scar.
>>48291128
mother fuckers...
>>48291102
I forget what the rules for resurrection were. Is this even a problem?
>>48291102
>>48291084
Indigestible material would mostly be low carbon bone (well aside from hair). That would make terrible breath material.
>>48291102
>>48291155
Losing more than 1/13th of your body or being turned to ashes reduces your chances massively.
>>48291155
The body can't have lost more than 1/13 of his overall Mass but this is beyond that. you don't have any organs or scan of muscles
>>48291155
It's D&D rules. You need a body, and the soul has to want to come back.
>>48291155
A big one. Rez odds drop dramatically below 12/13th of body mass remaining.
Basically they'll have to find a top tier mage to perform the rez. Probably not even the gnome mage can do that. They'll have to seek out the insane elf sorcerer that created the dungeon.
>>48291084
>covering your mouth with your bloodpoop stained hand
godamnit Marcille
How are we gonna enjoy Senshi cook a dragon after this shit
>>48291186
>>48291192
So she is pretty much fucked unless they have some kind of an aspull high level res spell.
>>48290941
>the other two scream from the pain
>Laius complains that it itches
>>48291126
That side note ruins it.
I'm impressed the artist even made the effort to draw after a genuine woman's skull.
Can't they just find a new body for her soul?
>>48291231
You know, it's entirely possible those ARE her bones. The comic has not be shy about foreshadowing the realities of true death.
I really, really want Farlyn to join the group already. And they better be eating some dragon next chapter.
>>48291231
>>48291252
most evidence points towards that, her body isn't inside the stomach or intestines, and her staff was found inside the hairball. Logically, the rest of the body should be there too.
>>48291252
I suspect she will be dead for realsies, the next step will be freeing her soul from the Dungeon.
So, they're going to make dragon armor and shit. How are they going to take that stuff back to the surface? There's a whole section that's just undead.
>>48291332
Maybe they'll run across the scrub party again and bail out together.
>>48291247
It has to be empty or else they souls might mix up.
Then there's the problem of getting her in and not the original owner, who is understandably gonna be tied to the body, having a body that won't mentally fuck her up like a bearded old guy, and most importantly her being willing to move on.
>>48291332
They don't need to.
They live here now.
>>48291332
Why would they go back to the surface? They're clearly doing well for themselves as the new apex predators of this ecosystem, and they still haven't found Farlyn.
>>48291229
It's not just the armor, dude's made of fucking steel himself.
>>48291351
Speaking of which, we haven't seen the scrub party since that time they died in the water due to the merfolk.
>>48291431
reattaching a lost limb is probably less painful than getting tons of bones reset and relocated in an instant
>>48291462
Laius didn't seem to give much of a shit about losing the limb in the first place though.
Laius is a fucking monster, we already know this.
>>48291186
>>48291192
What chapter do they say that?
Punished Laius
>>48291484
The one where the dwarf woman was talking about res mechanics to the servants of the gnomes, after the gnome party returned to the surface.
>>48290941
>Marcille's satisfied face after the horrific thing she just witnessed
I mean I get that this kind of thing happens fairly often in Dungeon Meshi but holy crap, I would be puking irl if I saw that.
>>48291102
>>48291186
>Losing more than 1/13th of your body or being turned to ashes reduces your chances massively.
So not only is her flesh completely digested to bare bone but some parts of her body was also used for kindling dragon breath.
>>48291372
>>48291422
None of them can make leather armor or smith dragon bone.
>>48291515
I doubt she's actually dead.
>>48291484
>>48291541
she was 100% going to be dead, it was just a question of how much of the body was left
>>48291507
The joy of doing a good job overcomes disgust.
>>48291226
I'm going with what >>48291201 said. The side scene with the gnome and the city's leader implies that shit is going down around the elf that created the dungeon, so the manga will probably continue. If the party needs a stupidly high-level mage to resurrect Farlyn, they now have a reason to pursue said elf and keep the manga going.
>>48291452
You're right. I think gnome dude mentioned reviving them. I wonder if they bolted back up to the surface or decided to trudge on ahead.
>>48291541
>I doubt she's actually dead.
You bitch, that's not funny.
>>48291217
Revenge. Dragon ate the imouto, we gotta eat it back
>>48290843
underrated imouto
>>48291611
>tfw first chapter already hinted at this conclusion
They need to go back. They can't keep fighting dragons or whatever shit is in that level with a tired mage and a chef's knife.
>>48291675
That dragon alone should give them some good exp and loot. Even artifacts maybe.
>>48290853
NO GODDAMIT NOT THIS WAY GET BACK HERE FUUUUUUUUUU
>>48291673
I wanna see a reaction shot when Laius realizes he has to indirectly eat his sister
>>48291533
Maybe senshi could pull it off.
>>48291484
I forget the chapter, but the important thing to remember is that there isn't actually such a thing as resurrection magic.
No magic can return the dead back to life... under normal conditions. But for some reason, the planar walls are super, super thick inside the dungeon. Souls cannot make it to the other side, and instead remain bound to their bodies, even if the body is useless.
So resurrecting someone in the dungeon is just healing the body back to a functional state and letting the soul settle back into place. But that means you have to be able to get the body working again.
The less body you have to work with, the less likely it is that healing magic will be able to restore it enough that it can be alive again.
If she really is just bones, then her spirit is still bound to them but its really unlikely they will ever be able to heal her to a living condition again. There is even a mausoleum in the upper levels of the dungeon for storing the bodies of people too far gone to be saved. Kept there just in case someone finds a powerful healing treasure deeper in the dungeon.
Its a faint hope, but stranger treasure has been found.
>>48290853
What does it mean?
>>48291765
Have you seen the state of his axe?
>>48291750
>The party reaches the mad elf
>They contact Farlyn's spirit>She doesn't want to come back>The mad elf is evidence enough that living forever is wrong>Laius has to confront the circle of life that he's been a part of during this adventure; none of the monsters they ate are ever coming back, so why should the eaters?>The manga ends on a somber note with the party confronting their own inevitable end, but content that such is the way of nature.>Everone shares one final meal before going their separate ways.
>>48291807
>>48291807
Fuck you.
>>48291565
I'm actually really disappointed by this chapter. Not because it's a downer, but because we're back to the status quo, story-wise. I was hoping the defeat of the dragon and Farlyn's rescue would change the script a bit, add a 'new' character to the party, make them find a new reason to keep exploring...
Now it's just "let's go fight the boss monster to save my sister" again. Nothing has been accomplished.
>>48290895
i feel you bro
>>48291698
They get no XP from it.
>>48291084
>>48291102
Lucky their original plan to exhaust the dragon of its flames didn't work out
>>48291102
This is basically the campaign I wish I could play.
In death she became the best girl and #1 imouto of all time.
>>48291102
Oh fuck.
>>48290800
>Sister inflicts traumatic brain injury on him as child
This explains SO much about Laius.
>>48290800
>Laius spiritually molested as a child.
>Develops very strange fascination with monster habits and behavior.
>>48291541
She's not, her soul can't leave the dungeon.
Elfs expressions in this chapter range from great to heartbreaking.
>>48292290
The flesh is dead but the spirit is wiling. She is dead.
>>48291229
Laius is the strongest.
>>48291791
He'll just make a dragon bone axe with the mithril knife and the indestructible wok.
>>48292363
No, as in, he's bad with making armor and weaponry. The reason the axe shattered is because it was shit to begin with.
>>48292389
But it's not making weaponry, it's *cooking*.
>>48291533
>they manage to make the strongest armor ever with dragon bones and scales
>because there is no smith, the armor just looks stupid like the frog suit
>>48291855
It's not that nothing's been accomplished, more just that they've completed step one of a two-step processes. They were always going to need to recover her body and take it somewhere to be healed, the direction's just changed: down insead of up.
Cause let's face it, you know they're gonna find some way of bringing her back.
>>48292455
Fuck you man, the frog suits were awesome, just improperly tanned...and still kind of sticky.
>>48291102
This isn't what I wanted. This isn't what I wanted at all.
Wagering a serious guess for where we go from here on.
Farlyn is actually dead, and Laius realizes that both her death now and her troubles during childhood were a result of him dragging her around for his escapades. He doesn't break down, but instead finds resolve to improve himself and conquer the dungeon to either resurrect Farlyn or let her pass on. By the end of the series he'll be /tg/ deity tier.
>>48291102
It's a red herring. It's a red herring right? Please be a red herring.
>>48292805
This series is rather light-hearted. So I predict she actually got away from the dragon on her own and just lost her staff.
>>48293079
She was being chewed on by a red dragon. Her last act was to cast the teleport spell.
>>48293079
In some parts it's most certainly light hearted, in orders, it most certainly isn't.
Anyone remember drawing Laius?
>>48293209
>she's been back at the surface all along
>Laius and co. just went to basement level one to resupply before heading back down
>she is beginning to wonder if something happened to them climbing out of the dungeon
>>48293247
>Anyone remember drawing Laius?
That joke is still the stand-out darkest one in the comic yet.
>>48293283
You went full denial mode.
She being dead is the perfect excuse to continue the plot and for laius to conquer the dungeon.
>>48293294
Chilcksack remembring his days as a scrub diying at the hands of mimics is one of my favorites.
>>48293209
I'm just saying, she's incredibly skilled with healing spells, so I certainly think it's possible. And as far as storytelling goes, making the climax (lol everything you did was pointless) is a bit shit.
So there's definitely more to it than she's dead. Even if she is dead there's got to be a twist to it.
>>48290853
>>48291102
ALL
F O R
N O T H I N G
>>48293313
Nah, I'm just imagining a daft scenario there. Don't actually believe it.
I think she's dead. Like, super dead and unwilling to return, but we're going to have a couple touching moments with her spirit before the end allows her to pass on peacefully after some climactic end about the nature of the dungeon itself.
After one last meal together, of course.
What I'm genuinely more interested in is everyone's favourite living weapon. I have no fucking clue what direction things are going with that and that intrigues me.
Man, Laius is boss as fuck.
Is it possible that Farlyne dropped her staff but herself wasn't eaten? Then the staff was later picked up by one of the Orcs who lived in this village before themselves being eaten? I have a hard time believing that we're just going to end the rescue arc on such a somber note; this is still a comedy afterall.
>>48293390
If they can't resurrect her then the only other option they have is to conquer the dungeon and lift the curse so that her soul can actually move on. That's not pointless at all.
>>48293700
Let it go anon, she is dead but her soul will remain with us forever.
>>48293652
I'd assume orcs would have a different skull than humans and that definitely is a human skull.
>>>/a/144222305
FUCK
>>48293815
AROUND DWARVES YOU SOMETHING NEGATIVE THAT RHYMES WITH DWARVES
>>48293787
It seems that Orcs are naturally more stocky than humans but the underlying skeletal structure seems to be the same. We haven't seen the complete skeleton from the Dragon innards but this could have been a younger orc.anything to keep hope alive
>>48293353
And it was pretty funny. Death is a pretty casual thing most of the time when it happens in the dungeon. Remember their first reaction after Farlyin teleported them out?
>Let's eat something, I'm hungry
>>48290900
>I LEFT THE STOVE ON!
>>48291507
The thing that scares Marcille most is the idea of being useless, not being able to help her friends when they need her. This is why she's always fretting about her mana use; she always knows she should be conserving in case they need her powers later, but sitting out a fight without casting anything makes her feel useless. But running out of mana is even worse. The one time SHE proposed eating a monster (which she generally hates doing) was in order to re-up her mana.
She is looking satisfied here >>48290941 because she's relieved. Laius would have been a cripple without her. A friend needed help, help only she could give, and she didn't let him down. It's a good feeling.
>>48291102
>last panel
>Senshi's face
>AW HELL NAW, I'M NOT FUCKING HAVING THIS DEATH SHIT AFTER ALL THAT DRAGON BOLLOCKS
>IM FUCKING MAKING BONE STOCK IF SHE DONT GET TO LIFE PRONTO
>>48291102
All right, here's the plan, stay with me.
We take the bones, we surround them wtih the dragon meat. in the approximate shape of proper limbs allright? Then Marcille will heal the body and we'll try to coax Farlyn's spirit back into it.
It's like a skin graft, but with meat. It's going to be fine Laius, don't even trip.
>>48294217
>Put spirit in dragon body
>Dragon cleric
This is the best plan.
Longshot prediction: a combination of personal magical ability and dungeon soul-binding allows Farlyn to animate as an undead. She can't leave the dungeon, but everyone gets to keep adventuring with cute skeleton sister.
>>48294239
>Dragon cleric
that sounds reallycool
>>48291785
This must be your first manga, but
Bad, tear-jerking things
>>48294240
it's probably a fakeout
too much leadup to just go "lol she's dead gg no re"
>>48294217
That might work, unless the dragon's spirit enters instead/as well. Because that's a thing, apparently.
Marcille is for bullying.
>>48294393
>she is dead no re
>can't resurrect the dead
Huh? Isn't being dead a pre-requirement for being resurrected?
>>48291781
Wwit, thenwhy wa bet elf already looking for bones before Laius found the skull? Maybe he can actually fully heal the body and preform the resurrection
>>48295016
>Wwit, thenwhy wa bet elf
Reminder that everything is actually the dwarf girls fault.
>>48291102
>>48295087
Broken touch screen, you are my bane. *Wait, why was best elf
>>48291807
I've seen enough people bitch at the ending to TTGL to know that this would not go over well.
>>48295161
Wouldn't that be Chilchack's fault? Either for failing to find the trap or for failing to prioritize what needed to be saved from it.
>>48291137
>(can't digest).jpg
>>48295337
I'm just baiting a bit, we don't actually know. There is no explanation for their loss of proviant aside from this single pic.
>>48295325
Wait, people complained about the ending?
The ending summarized the entire message of the show.
>>48294563
Marcille is elf and elf is for bully
>>48295372
Yes it did. Unfortunately, people are shitbabies who can't handle anything less than a 100% happy storybook ending. The show's themes be damned.
>>48295372
>The ending summarized the entire message of the show.
Same could be said about Blackadder.
>>48293858
Orcish horns seems to be bone structures rather than keratin.
>>48295424
And?
I haven't seen that show, so I don't know what your point is.
>>48295424
Blackadder Goes Forth has an amazing ending, yeah.
Was the contemporary reaction negative, or?
>>48291750
>>48291102
Daily reminder that all of them (except senshi) died at least two times each in previous adventure.
So resurrection IS possible and probably easily accessible.
They just need to gather the bones
>>48295648
Did you not read the chapter about how if you lose 1/13th of your body it's pretty much impossible?
>>48295676
>pretty much impossible
that's not exact
implications seem to be the 1/13th is the line separating an easy res from a difficult one, not an impossibility.
Remember the burn't-out girl in the res center that they aren'r resurecting because of the _risk_ of it failing; they were ABLE to do it, just not WILLING to risk in -leaving it for someone with better skill. And she was burnt way past the 1/13th level. Corolaries being, 1) if it's risky, it's not impossible, and 2) a skilled enough cleric able to res WAY past the 1/13th is not unheard of.
>>48290955
Holy shit, Laius is Dungeon Meshi-verse Kyle Hyde!
The answer to your third question is that we tend to associate weak meat flavours with the first weak meat flavour we come across, which, for most people nowadays, is chicken. Ergo, if it's meat without a strong enough flavour to clearly be its own thing, we go "oh, it tastes like chicken".
>>48290988
mmm, tripe
>>48291462
reattaching nerve endings is probably one helluva pain train
>>48295390
This is true, but I decided to skip to the end of the equation for brevity's sake.
>>48290853
>>48291102
DONT FUCKEN
>>48295447
It was mixed. Some said that it was too much of a mood shift one way or another and felt uncomfortable either way.
>>48290853
Dear god.
Why everybody is acting like Failyn can't be resurrected anymore just because she's a pile of bones now? Am I missing something?
>>48296257
Because the body needs to be relatively intact for resurrection to work. If the body is just down to bones the chances of success are abysmal and you'd need an epic-tier healer to pull it off.
>>48290853
>>48296257
You need a minimum portion of the total body mass, and what they've found isn't enough.
>>48296257
The condition of her corpse is so poor that the chance of resurrection is quickly approaching zero. Someone severely burned was being passed over by an (assumedly competent) healer as being too difficult, so resurrecting someone that's just an incomplete pile of bones would require an impossible level of skill.Thankfully there's a very powerful sorcerer somewhere in the dungeon.
>>48296257
Because resurrecting her from just bones is way beyond what Farlyn, and probably anyone they know, can do. And that's assuming they find every bone, you'd probably need some century old archmage for that.
>>48296364
This post sums up the whole thing quite nicely
>>48296257
It's never been done successfully, the chances of resurrection drop sharply if you have less than a 90%~ish intact corpse, I can only assume it keeps going down the less you have.
This author seems to really like cooking.
Just replace all of Falyns parts with dragon parts.
The dragon parts are part-Falyn too, so it's fine.
>>48291102
of gods fucking damns it

>>48290941

>Laius just goes "it itches"
Is this what going full VIT does?
>>48291102
Gods help them
>>48296973
he went high on his feel no pain roll
>>48291102
Calm down everyone this isn't definitive.
Farlyn was never killed. That's why the dragon was still up, it was chasing her. The only thing that the dragon got from her was the staff, the bones and hair are other people.
No need to worry. Shes fine. Farlyn is fine.
>>48290739
>liking outdated kiddie shits
Dungeon Meshi is dead, long live Goblin Slayer
Wasn't the mage or whatever that made the dungeon researching eternal life/resurrection or something?
I sense we need to go deeper.
>>48296973
Adrenaline rush
This world works like RuneQuest mushed together with D&D.
>>48291102
Elves are not for lewd.Unless that elf is Marcille.
>>48295430
It seems like horns are exclusive to the males though.
Isn't the prize for completing the dungeon a free wish?
It they're is at least a dijinn lamp somewhere.
I hope it's a djinn lamp just to hear Marcille freak out.
>>48296973
"the INSIDE of my leg itches", with a grim expression on his face.
But yeah, he seems used to unreasonable amounts of pain.
>>48299097
No, the prize is you get to rule the kingdom that the dungeon used to be before becoming a dungeon
>>48299373
>itches
>implying your bones, muscles and nerves stitching back together won't hurt like the devil's asshole
Laius is just hardcore
Man who gives a fuck about a backstory character.
>>48299486
It's just the tiny surface area where it parted that was healed, along with the revival of merely oxygen-starved muscle.
>>48295469
My sides are ready for dinner.
>>48299486
He gave no fucks when the leg came off, he continued to give no fucks when it went back on.
The man is running on pure Imouto love.
>>48301040
This is the same guy that considered the fact he had a bleeding stump for a leg third priority. Lius if fucking hard core or he rolls really fucking good on his Con checks.
>>48296603
YES!
A quick recap of the previous chapter, please? What trick they used to kill the dragon?
>>48303144Marcille launched Laius up to its head, It bit off Laius leg and he sliced its throat.
>>48303144
Laius gets launched up to the dragon's mouth. As the dragon bites his leg he uses his leg as an anchor and stabs the dragon's throat
>>48303144
Laius stabbed it from inside while it was eating him iirc.
>>48303271
no, he jammed his leg in its mouth to anchor himself as he hung down and stabbed it in its one weak point where its jaw meets its neck.
>>48295256
You know you can pre-read what you are about to post *before* sending it?
>>48303464
The throat isn't the dragon's only weak point. It was already blind in one eye, if kensuke were to be jammed through the eye far enough, it'd stab the brain.
>>48303513
how can he read it if his screen is broken
>>48303588
How can he be posting if it's broken?
>>48303628
you dont need a screen to post, it just makes it easier
>>48303638
But how can he read our responses?
>>48304399
He can't. He's just making some very lucky guesses.
>>48291750
>Implying he doesn't want his sister inside him.
>>48290955
>why does everything taste like chicken?
A very simple protein base.
>>48290925
I like how Chilchack even comments on how absolutely hardcore Laius is.
The guy is an exemplary high level fighter.
>>48305039
>Hardcore
Sure. The only reason wh he had a light itching was because our little elf put more mana/effort into his healing
>>48291072

I dont know what the hell dungeon meshi is, so I could be looking dumb here but,
Why isnt this /a/?
>>48315195
Its basically the bastard child of /a/,/ck/, and /tg/ but mostly focused on /tg/ so we claimed it.
>>48290853
Jesus Christ, how cute were those first three panels.
>>48291807
I wouldn't mind that at all.
Also very in line with several pan-Asian philosophies that are utterly alien to the average (modern) Western mindset.
