"How would we go about defeating a demon?"

"Any flesh that has been eaten and digested by other living things loses any of its individual identity. In this dungeon, where the line between life and death has been blurred... that seems to me to be the only clear and obvious rule."

#dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #laios #laios touden #my art #fanart #art #sketch #laios if he was 3% more insane #aka the au where laios eats the winged lion by devouring the entire dungeon. starting with kensuke. #this was how i thought the climax was gonna go while i was reading #i was like around the mithrus backstory chapter and Everything Started Clicking #'become a demon to kill a demon' ynno. eat or be eaten #maybe it's the houseki no kuni brainrot but i fully expected some sort of Theseus Ship with laios's humanity vs the demon he's consuming #as in like 'wow eating a demon has consequences. such as turning into a demon.' #tying right back into the falin-chimera parallel and his whole thing with wanting to be a monster #btw laios gets hungrier the more he eats parts of the demon until he reaches that 40% capacity in canon. do with that what you will. #anyways i just saw the JRPG tropes (adventurer party/chosen one/dungeon crawler) and assumed it'd end like a JRPG as well (killing god) #i just have a lot of thoughts. can you tell i finished the manga in less than 24 hours. #rip kensuke i was suspicious of you til the very end #dont repost or senshi will use your kneecaps for a broth #dungeon meshi fanart #dungeon meshi spoilers #his pose is based on the ch91 'desire eater' pose btw that panel (specifically the coloured version) fundamentally changed something in me.
