It is, however, a reasonable guess, that he would not go berserk as a certain puppy.

Btw.it's also worth mentioning, that the Assassin is also nearing the Academy city, so it's hardly the best time for going berserk and causing a bunch of problems for themselves.

By the way

Spoiler for Spoiler:

Has Kaito's curse he got from using his 7 deadly sin sword during his revenge against the merchant been cured? Or is it still active. I think it was something like a 30% debuff right?

[Morilinde]

So it's not developing as expected

Spoiler for Spoiler:

Title gives it away: Countdown to destruction

Chapter starts with Kaito clearing the dungeon
He contacts Minaris and Shuri via telepathy and gets the info that Minaris found her target
they also talk about a cursed sword they didn't find in the academy (i think?)
He also promises to return soon since he doesn't want to miss the revenge
On minaris side she meets with Leone for lunch and Leone notices that Minaris is somewaht different and she talks about Minaris often dissapearing which Minaris deflects as 'special training'
Leone is still suspicious but can't seem to figure out what Minaris is up to
Minaris leaves Shurea in Leone's care while she leave for the library which leaves Leone even more anxious
Minaris meets with a man who seem to have fallen on hard times due to Keril and she tells him to come to the venue in two days (looks like the revenge is due in two days and there seem to be more then just one person who were 'harmed' by Keril)
Minaris thinks about Leone being suspicious but that it is too late for her to interfere
Minaris then views a scene in a crystal and it seems that Lucia is just as bad as a Yandere then the priestess
She then thinks about what she will do to her old home village and gets excited

i hope I got it right

[Ruki0089]

Hah... I don't know about this Leone girl but it seems she wasting her time...

[Morilinde]

Just saw that a new chapter is up

Spoiler for Spoiler:

It begins with Kaito returning from the dungeon and it seem she has crafted a new sword which seems to be a variant of the deadly sin 'sloth'. Kaito and Shuri comfort Minaris about getting her revenge
Switch of the POV to Minaris male childhood friend who sees his bride-to-be off
He remembers the past and it seems that he has gotten over the prejudice against beastman but he still hates Minaris for 'bullying' his bride when they were kids (yeah riiighhhtt)
He returns to his dorm at the university and he finds Minaris inside his room who wants to talk with him
They start talking over dinner and Minaris tells him she is an investigator thanks to her illusion magic and shows him the crystal recording of Lucia threatening another girl which stuns Keryl
Keryl responds that she willapologize because she can change which makes Minaris laugh out in an icy manner
Keryl starts to get numb from the legs upwards thanks to the poison Minaris put into the food
He tries to break free but is swarmed by bugs and when he is defeated Minaris summons ghosts (porbably her illusion magic) who start to curse him (sounds like they were humans who lost something precious because of Keryl)
He again tries to break free but Minaris poison is too strong and he keeps getting tormented by the ghost voices and the bugs
Keryl tries one last attempt but Minaris defends easily then she gives him a recovery potion and starts to stab him all over and this process repeats while she is laughing like crazy
At the end someone arrives (probably Leone) and asks Mianris what she is doing and Minaris sounds as if she was expecting this and says that only round 1 is over

Well seems like a promising start

^ So well from what I remember from this chapter:

Spoiler for heavy spoilers:

Kaito creates a cursed sword from "partially cursed" weapons (not yet on the level of cursed weapon) to give it to his sloth weapon to activate it.
The bugs are said to be each one as heavy as a bucket full of water and there are hundreds of them clinging to him (also seems to be capable to absorb fire and "return it" back, which he gets to know later on).
The ghosts are not explained too much, but from previous chapters I would guess them to be real living people (just ghatsly) that Minaris and co. did some light brainwashing on (made Keryl into the root of all evil for them). Btw. Leone (and co.) get straight called by name by Minaris.

I can't wait for the next chapter. Neither of the remaining two has appeared yet and I am interested in what is the plan with Leone.

[Ruki0089]

This Leone will end up killed soon...

[Morilinde]

What is somehow funny (if I understood correctly): Kerril seems to have a form of 'Kouki syndrome' (be a hero, apologize to show you've grown up etc)

[Morilinde]

New chapter is out and the revenge train gains more speed

Spoiler for Spoiler:

the chapter starts with Minaris torturing her father and his new wife (quite a skip from the last chapter)
She first kills the wife and then summons bugs to further torment her father (as I understood it)
She is joined by shure and Kaito who is again using a sword form the deadly sins series and is again under the curse of the priestess
The scene changes to a onversation between Kaito and Leone who was kidnapped by them and they are staying in a hunters hut outside of Minari's village
Kaito says that he warned her not to stop them and that this situation is the consequence
Leone tries again to convince him that there is another way since they are strong but Kaito laughs it of and tells her what was the price of his summoning (200 lives from this world plus his friends and family from his world)
Not sure what happens then sounds like he is using his new sword (the one he created a few chapters ago)
Then he shows Leone the view of Minaris village and forces her to watch how Minaris revenge will playout (a church breaks down while they speak) and he summons his sword of sloth (from the deadly sins series and it has the form of a giant blacksmith) to help Minaris carrying out her revenge (I think it curses the entire village with sloth)
Side note I am not sure if he send Shuree to get the children of the village to safety (I think he did since they should be innocent)

Thans for the summary, but I hope that Kaito will not kill Leone as it was just a useless spill of blood, better if he breaks her mind by showing Minaris revenge, mainly the massacre Minaris is currently doing.

Take what I wrote with a grain of salt since I often don't get the whole chapter. Though it ended with Kaito saying to Leone "Look at what you tried to stop" I guess Leone will probably break mentally. I somehow can't see Kaito killing her since she hasn't effectively betrayed them.

[Trov]

Author fucked up a bit and added chapter 23 instead of 22. So that was the reason for the abrupt jump. It's been corrected.

Spoiler:

22 is what happens on Leone's side just before the end of the last chapter up until what leads to the next. Leone tries to convince Minaris to stop but that ain't happening.

[Morilinde]

Looks like the author made a mistake with the posting. There is a new chapter which fills the drastic skip between the last chapter and those from November

Spoiler for Spoiler:

Chapter starts with Leone (prior to the start of Minaris revenge)
She is anxious like feeling something will happen and leaves the academy since Minaris isn't there
Shuree meets her and she doens't show Leone her usual cheerful self but her darker side
Shuree sorrounds Leone and herself with a spell so that no noise leaks out something Leone notices and sees thanks to her eyes
Shuree takes her to Minaris and they arrive at the scene where Minaris is torturing Kerril
Minaris starts the second round of torture by stabbing Kerril's hand and Leone is terrified by this sight
Leone tries to interefere and she is stopped immediately by Kaito and she is forced to watch as Kerril is tortured by Minaris and Shuree while she pleads them to stop
Chapter ends with Kerril being tortured while he begs for mercy and to me it sounds as if Minaris will restore him back before he is dead to start again

Edit: well someone beat me to it

[Morilinde]

New chapter and it is getting more intense

Spoiler for Spoiler:

The chapter starts with Rusha reading a fairy tale to a little girl as a good ngiht story
She thinks about the marriage which is scheduled for the next day and then she thinks of the obstacles she clreared to get Kerril (also mentions how Minaris who was a big obstacle and her mother were sold as slaves)
Rusha wakes up early and she goes through the snow covered village to the church to pray for her marriage
The priest shows up and they start talking (again about Minaris) and suddenly the priest is stabbed in the stomach from behind (but this doesn't kill him)
Minaris steps in front of Rusha who is terrified since she thought Minaris was sold into slavery and Minaris compares her to Kerril who didn't know that
Rusha attacks her with fire magic, Minaris counters with ice magic which suprises Rusha since she didn't suspect a beastman using magic (I think they are taught that their magic is weak or easy to counter I am not sure)
Rusha continues to fire magic which Minaris easily evades
Rusha takes a magic jewel from her bag and blows the church to pieces with a strong fire magic but Minaris again evades and stabs Rusha in the shoulder.
Rusha creates distance but then several villagers appear (sounds as if they were looking for their children) and they all recognize Minaris to which Minaris says that the stage is set
Right then the whole village is covered by Kaito's sloth magic and Minaris starts laughing and says that she will destroy everything which drives fear into Rusha

[Ruki0089]

Revenge is sweet...~~

[Rasty]

The reason why Lucia didn't expect Minaris to use magic is, that bestmen magic seems to dissipate quickly with distance. However as Minaris told her, there is no problem as long as it is reasonably close to her body. In other words they are not suited to long distance firing, but can use the magic in close quarter combat or for defense.
I also think, that beastmen have less talent for magic and MP, thus with them being unable to use the magic on long distance (which is main usage of magic in this world) it is easy to misunderstand them as never using it.

[Ruki0089]

Can't wait for next chapter.... Revenge served cold...

Thx for the clarification. And Minaris contract hasn't done much against this correct? She only gained new magic (poison) as far as I undertood (she probably learnt more at the academy) But Rusha is really evil unlike Kerril she knew all along what her lie would do (she sounds like a little sister of the priestess doesn't she?)

[Morilinde]

New chapter (Minaris does not dissapoint in my opinion)

Spoiler for Spoiler:

Chapter begins with Minaris fighting with the villagers killing at least one while injuring others though thanks to Kaito's cursed sword they are not really dying (if I uderstood correctly)
Minaris again uses her bugs to torment her childhood friend then she uses them on one villager after the other (if I understood correctly the bugs crawl into open wounds and turn the villagers into 'zombies' which are then under Minaris control)
Minaris captures all villagers since they can't retreat but she does not attack Lucia instead she tells her (after Lucia tried to threaten Minaris) what she has doen to her beloved Kerril ( I think she summons Kerril who was completely mutated by Minaris which breaks Lucia)
The mutated Kerril crawls to Lucia who says she loves him while she also curses Minaris as a 'devil's child'
Lucia uses a powerful magic to revert the magic but Minaris expected that and tells Lucia that she used her magic to revive Minaris' fater who was killed 3 days ago
The torture of the village goes on for 3 days and nights I think all villagers except for Lucia were in the end eaten by the bugs (completly) and only Lucia remains though severly crippled (no legs, no arms, no eyes)
Minaris basks in the afterglow of her revenge but she feels it was not enough she again curses Lucia and orders her bug to devour the rest while the barrier breaks
Minaris realizes that what Kaito and Shuri said is true: it's not going to stop
Chapter ends with the note that the village was visited by Kerril's and Lucia's frriends who wanted to attend the wedding only to find the village in ruins and bereft of life and only white butterflies cover the village. In the end the village is left as ruins due to the bad infrastructure and is known as the 'white dyed village'

Well, there are a few things to correct and some I am not sure whether I did understand your explanation this time, though I don't have much time so I will try to be brief (edit after writing it: unsuccessfully).

Spoiler:

The ability Kaito used is revealed to be a form of 結界 (barrier) which traps everything inside and deny any change of selected thing, in this case, the lives of all the people inside. In other words, as long as they are inside the barrier they will never die, no matter what even if they were to turn to bare bones with just their souls attached (the cursed sword got used as a price for the sloth barrier activation).

The bugs actually use their bodies to grow up and flesh as nutrition (while also replenishing it with artificial flesh and mostly avoiding brain to make them last longer) and after overmultiplying they start to overflow from every part of the body. And the only way to diminish the pain of being eaten alive over and over is to push the bugs onto someone else, thus the villagers are out of their will searching for other people to bite to lessen their own pain (while avoiding Minaris and Lucia, I guess because the worms are uninterested in the two).

The mutated Kerril actually turned out to be Minaris's father from the beginning, who got just a bit tweaked to look like the Kerril, who got already killed eaten from inside leaving only the hollow husk of outer skin and bones still vaguely resembling him because of special poisons. Well while this part is not so clear, I guess that this "outer husk" is what the father was "wearing", and that got nicely cleaned when the father got revived using Lucia's trump card (which consumes big part of her own life in exchange for reviving the other person in almost any condition but still living).

While Minaris says it still is not enough, she also seems to have managed to make a period after her personal revenge. Well, there, of course, is a whole bunch of other people that they have to make their revenge against, but at least some less now.

And the village actually got shunned mostly because of the place being so ghastly, scary and unfathomable.

But thanks for the info as always. I am actually too slothful to do a proper introduction even of a single chapter, let alone doing it more often.

[Ruki0089]

So no "sorry" from Lucia?
