Previous Events on TBATE: What Happened?
Many hundreds of troops are massing for an assault on the Mana Beasts. When Stannard glances at Tessia, he realises that despite being the youngest of the group, she exudes assurance. Stannard is worried because the Mana Beasts they will face are more powerful than any they’ve faced previously. After a fierce struggle with the Mana Beasts, Drogo orders the Vanguard Teams to rush inside the barrier. To Stannard’s horror, the Beasts are ruthlessly slaughtering their friends. Tessia and her allies are making quick work of the Beasts thanks to Tessia’s usage of plant magic.
The Beasts are severely wounded by the Mages’ combined magical might, and Stannard deals the killing blow to seal their defeat. Drogo has apparently resolved the situation by dispatching the wounded men to the medics. Though everyone else is rejoicing in the win, Stannard appears to be deeply moved by the sight of the combat casualties. He can’t believe that they’ve already lost ten men and they haven’t even reached the den. He then speculates on how many more troops will have to perish.
The Beginning After the End Chapter 171 will be available on Thursday, December 15th, 2022. At 9:00 AM PST, the new chapter will be live on Tapas Media. Due to the series’ simultaneous publication schedule, the new chapter will be released at a different time:
- Starting at 9:00 AM PST (11:00 PM CST)
- Time in the United Kingdom: 5:00 p.m.
- Greenwich Mean Time (GMT);
- 6:00 p.m. CEST;
- 10:30 p.m. IST;
Previously, new chapters of The Beginning After The End were posted every Friday. However, due to health concerns with the series’ artist, Season 5 of The Beginning After the End will now release a new chapter every ten days. Many readers were both relieved and disappointed by the choice because recent chapters have changed attention from Arthur to centre on the efforts of the secondary characters against the Mana Beasts and the Alacryan army.
