But... those creatures are originally from Slavic myths, like Drakavac and Vodjanoy. The only Slavic myth based series I know of is The Witcher from Polish writer. Most of vampires and werewolves are all mainstreamed and differ from the original folktales too much.
Slavic dragon is called Zmey btw. Here are some notable creatures I want to see in this LN: Vampire or vampir Drekavac Vodjanoy Vila Baba Yaga Firebird Rusalka Koschei Koschei and Baba Yaga are also very famous. They're antagonists in some arcs of Hell Boy. I just had a feeling that Ganelon is Koschei in disguised. But it's just my random guess. Most characters from Brune are from French historical Epic "Song of Roland" though. Especially the Song of Roland mentioned in the story... with Ganelon as the antagonist. I'm kind of fed up with the stereotypes like those from British, Greek, Norse and Japanese. The creatures from those myths are too mainstreamed imo. But not many know about beings from Chinese, Indian and Slavic myths. I bet everyone here probably believes that Gandalf from LotR is solely originated from Merlin, not some protagonist of Finnish epic "Kalevala", Vainämöinen (very difficult name imo), the poor guy who was born when he's already 730 and surpassed average wizards from Japan by 700 years.

By the way, Yoshi☆Wo is healthy again. It seems like he will be doing illustrations from volume 7 and they released the part of volume 7 cover.
You can read the post and see the image here. http://blog.mediafactory.co.jp/mfbunkoj/?p=13858 With that we have all 7 Vanadis appear on the cover. Now Tigre's polygamy will be put into reality Though one of the biggest twist in Madan I want to see is one of the Vanadise(one of the ones who isnt close to Tigre) die, and be replaced by someone else. Sometimes death is crucial to make a story even better.

Gods and dragons might play a bigger role later in the LN, are you fine with that if you can't accept things like minor exotic creatures? |

All right. Almost all of the actors have assembled; although I'm not sure how will the meeting of Tigre and the last Vanadis will be.
But at the very least, it could be political meeting or they met by chance during the journey. She knows the name of Tigre but I think she know the appearance or not is the question. I guess she knows the face. I wonder who will be the anime voice actors if this will be come an anime: Spoiler for The Casts:
Well, keep in mind guys, these casts are just my preference base from the LN characters personalities. It looks great to have this as Anime in the future. |

So the existence of supernatural weapons born from myths is plausible, but the existence of creatures who are part of the same myths in-universe is just crossing the line?
Ahahahaha. Sometimes I wonder if people really have read the actual work, instead of just glancing at the illustrations. Quote:
I'm not so sure about characters dying, though. Even if a Vanadis replacement were to come along, it does take a while to train a Vanadis until she's combat-capable with her Viralt, not to mention the need to familiarize with her territory.

Oh and not sure if this was answered yet but, is Tigre going by an alias like a secret envoy, or does everyone know who he is, Olga included? |

Tigre's bow, Durandan, Viralts The war between gods and dragons WTF is Ganelon? The being that lent its power to Elizaveta etc. You're being ignorant or hypocritical about things you didn't care to mention. |

The author's other work, Thousand Aegis, has more of a shounen's touch to it(Im actually starting like this more than Madan lately).

Up to what Volume of Thousand and Aegis have you read so far, out of curiosity? Volume 9 seems like it's finally the start of the Maou battle.
