Volume Five Illustrations

Here are the illustrations for Volume 5 that were previously announced~

The Shadow World section of Volume 5 should have revealed most of the foreshadowing from earlier chapters. This chapter and the next are essentially the prologue to the Holy Kingdom Shadow World. In fact, the plot structure for the rest of the story is already quite clear: after the Hero Festival in the present world, the Holy Kingdom Shadow World arc will begin.

Because only images under 500kb can be uploaded, the image quality has been greatly compressed. Below are two slightly enlarged close-ups.

The original image is in the group files (group 948957812). If the group is full, I will create a new group and post the new group number when I create a new chapter.

And let me reiterate, the bounty owed by this book will be paid off in this book; there's no such thing as paying it off in a future book. The chapters that weren't finished when the main story ended in seven volumes will all be converted into free side stories and epilogues to extend the book. Whether it can reach an eighth volume depends on this, because it's confirmed that the bounty won't be paid off even after the book's completion. Therefore, this is the last and only chance for this book to top the monthly ticket charts.
