My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tactics. SLAYERS Omnibus v4 is all about tactics. Staring down overconfident nobles, fending off rogue chimeras in underground laboratories, outwitting demons who can warp time and space, outmaneuvering water-based creatures in their natural habitat. Tactics.

Each volume in this light novel collection offers readers a glimpse into Lina's genius as a sorceress combatant, and in turn, a glimpse into the absolute madness that surely awaits anyone who dares to make sense of her brash decision making. SLAYERS Omnibus v4 is a deceptively charming collection; the individual novels themselves aren't particularly compelling, but it's not the story that's important, it's how each story is told that makes them worth reading. The astonishing diversity and creativity of Lina's battle knowhow is easily the best part of this novel collection.

Conspiracy in Solaria nudges Lina and Gourry in the direction of a local power struggle. Some dude named Lavas Nexalia Langmeier, of Welgis Castle, is purportedly a distant relative who took over in the stead of an ill lord. The problem? Demons and chimeras are sort of showing up all over the place. And given Lina and Gourry's experience thus far with the black cloaks, it's wise to say that coincidences don't really exist in this world without due consequence. The fact that sword-and-spellcasters-for-hire Luke and Mileena are also in the area adds to the suspicions surrounding Welgis Castle.

Again, the story of an arrogant noble seeking land for himself is nothing new. But the way this particular story is told is intriguing. The noble, by and large, is completely irrelevant to the story. Lina instead focuses on why the black cloaks are so active in the area (e.g., the demon guy Zain is more powerful than he was before, and his group is far more intelligent and coordinated, too). And why does this no-name Lord Lavis guy have guards posted at nondescript buildings on his property? Time to investigate!

This novel introduces another layer of intrigue to the umbrella issue of demon infiltration.

For example, Lina recalls an incident in The Ruvinagald Republic, in which humans were experimented on as hosts for demons. That old republic has since been dissolved. Is someone pulling the strings, attempting a similar challenge to the status quo? Lina, Gourry, Luke, and Mileena shiver at the possibly, but also find an ally in an old-timer and sorcerer-inspector, Wiser Freion, who is especially mindful of such changes in the wind.

Volume 11, Delusion in Crimson, pivots toward a similar case: a town that shares an odd or ignominious history, led by an upstart noble, who is likely hiding a bad delusion of grandeur. Also similarly, Lina and Gourry find themselves fighting very unique enemies, such as a lizardman with massive claws/talons, fish-people with face tentacles, and most critically, a powerful "demonoid" or two.

Aria Ashford, a young sorcerer with little experience, begs Lina and Gourry to help her save her kidnapped big sister. The problem is legit, but word is that Crimson Town, in the Empire of Lyzeille, recently suffered an attempted insurrection from a branch of the local sorcerers' council. Clearly, this is no ordinary kidnapping. Especially when the local noble, Lord Kailus, is also a mad scientist.

This book contains a lot of running around and hiding in odd places, to avoid getting pinched by unusual enemies. Fun, but not entirely exciting.

The story doesn't really get moving until Lina is forced to fight rather unconventionally to defeat her newfound (and equally unconventional) enemies. For example, in a fight in an underground cavern, Lina orders her allies to form a wind barrier (windy shield + levitation), after which, she casts fireball break, which forces the wind barrier to literally absorb the chaos of a fireball as the group propels itself toward its enemy. Another, more astonishing example comes by way of her tactic to defeat a demon that just won't quit. Lina casts fire lance at an enemy she knows will reflect the spell back at her, if diminished; she then takes the hit from her own spell (which envelops both her and another enemy), but holds her breath while the demon behind her inhales the heat from the reflected fire spell. Lungs ablaze, the bad guy is in trouble, and then Gourry runs the guy through.

The Dynast Plot will surely appear to some as anticlimactic, but the author hints this was likely deliberate. After all, the last time Lina faced off against Sherra, General of the Dynast, there was a hyperdemon involved, a demon blade (Dulgoffa) that manipulated people, and something to do with comical naming conventions. This time around, Sherra is much more relaxed. She's holed up in Gyria City, the capital of the Kingdom of Dils, and has constructed a web of infiltration that seems unnecessarily complex for a pure demon so powerful.

Lina and Gourry, plus Luke and Mileena, fight all sorts of demons, demidemons, and demonoids on the road to Gyria City. But however vague the Dynast's plot, readers can be grateful for the delightfully odd specificity of the demon descriptions in this particular novel.

Typically, this series glosses over the details when it comes to the baddies, but in this book, the author provides a great deal of sensory elements to set the scene. And none of it's superfluous, because the extraordinary detail gives readers context for when Lina invariably conjures an assault that catches everyone by surprise and saves the day.

The book's final fight sees the cast of heroes against a whole throne room full of demons (as well as characters who are, it turns out, human shells possessed by demons). And although the good guys slowly whittle away at the bad guys' numbers, it's Lina's brilliance that takes care of a particularly onerous demon called Rebifor, by which she conjures a multi-spell assault that injures, distracts, and decapitates. Tactics.

SLAYERS Omnibus v4 wraps up a few minor, splinter plots, but yields, in its closing pages, to a grander storyline that will hopefully offer some decent answers. This collection has some memorable, if minor notes: Gourry acquires a new (magical) blade, Lina uses the ragna blade in a comically simple but effective way, and Lina casually mentions that she and Gourry have been adventuring together for roughly two years now.

As the fight against the demons escalates, one hopes ardently for the return of a certain chimera swordsman and a certain bombastic priestess-princess, but only time will tell (in the least, Lina mentions them in the abstract, once or twice). Whatever happens next, Lina the Bandit Killer and her trusted swordsman with jellyfish for brains are going to need all of the help they can get.

OKAY OKAY SO BASICALLY

The concept is based from the Seven Deadly Sins having children (like in a way PJO works) and an academy exists as a form of a safe place for these kids.

They're called “demidemons” or “daemonis”.

Whenever a new kid/s comes in, they all gather in the ceremonial hall to see which house they belong to. Sometimes, the parent doesn't respond and the child is left unclaimed, so they stay in a cramped cabin in the lower grounds of the building.

help. me

I ACTUALLY WORKED ON THE MC

(and the concept and other stuff, all i had at first was the idea 😭)

*happy danceeeeee*

:00000000 SPILLLLLLL I WANNA KNOWWWWWWWWWW

[nearlyabsentt]

hey folks, new around here :p i want to share my one year improvement of the same profile picture drawing!

(now VS a year ago)

i feel like my style has improved quite a bit in many different ways and i’ve made my character more dynamic, as well as redesigning him. i did forget to color the line art in the newer one, but it still looks better than before to me!

his name is Casper Selkom :p he’s the main character of my futute comic called MISSION: Goddess so stay tuned for that! hello Casper!

My Oc inspired in my Gaia’s avatar, I’ve always love demons so I couln’t help doing one, well she’s a demi-demon but you get the idea n n’

[capt-carter-mostly-official]

She is a demidemon— you expect her to discriminate against her own in favor of those who hate her? *slaps* check your bias and then repeat what you said as what you actually are saying

So you're the woman that replaced me as Athena's father? Or mother for the matter, but you still replaced me and my wife

-@the-first-fallen-angel

It’s not replacing when you were never a father to her. You never even tried

[petrichorparacosm]

Okay, so you know the idea that cambions(a type of half-demon) are abnormally charming and enchanting? What if thats true, but it mostly applies to other supernatural creatures instead of humans? Imagine:

Supernatural creatures especially avoid young cambions because they take every parental or fraternal instinct in you and multiply it by ten

As the cambion gets older they can better control it

As time goes by, the feelings they inspire can be more and more romantic in nature

Cambions still never can completely suppress the effect they have, just control the degree

The effect hits full demons intensely(in a paternal/maternal way), which is why most of them are scared of cambions(unless under the thrall of one)

A cambion can often end up being the object of stalking or obsessions

Cambions can be be paranoid and slightly aggressive by human standards, but by demonic standards they’re rather sweet and endearing.

I just think it’s a cool concept

More Pest Killers art, she’s Nicole Pendragon, she a decadent of King Arthur, and is a demi demon. The place she’s is the school of the comic Lionheart Academy.
