The outcome of the intense battle between Kayden and Astra in Eleceed Chapter 278 will completely change Jiwoo’s life. Kayden wins using his powerful new technique, Domain Expansion, which allows him to easily defeat Astra.
Kartein’s healing ability helps Kayden unleash his full power in a brief but decisive moment to overpower his opponent.
Although Astra has achieved some level of enhancement, Kayden argues that it is insignificant due to Astra’s basic incompetence.
Kayden proved his point by easily overcoming Astra before delivering the final killing blow.
Now among the top ten of the alliance, Kayden’s prestige and influence will increase significantly, causing ripple effects on Jiwoo and his companions.
The two cats accompanying Jiwoo seem harmless but likely hide some secrets that could also affect upcoming events. With Kayden’s status increasingly elevated, new and difficult challenges certainly await Jiwoo.
However, the specific details are still unclear at this time, so questions will be answered in the next chapters.
Summary and review
At the start of Eleceed Chapter 277, the three highest ranks feel unsettled by the disappearance of Astra’s energy, signaling his defeat.
As they discuss the implications during the meal, one is angry that they failed to eliminate the threat posed by Kayden earlier when he was still progressing in strength.
However, on another note, killing Kayden would have been pointless then, and even now, it remains a fruitless idea.
With a vacancy suddenly opening up within their elite circle, they agree that Frame may be the best person to be promoted as Astra’s replacement, foreshadowing changes to come for with power dynamics.
This scene highlights the ripple effect of Kayden’s overthrow of one of the highest ranks. It confused the remaining leading figures and raised questions about maintaining their position.
Frame’s expected elevation suggests that he will play an important role as the story continues to progress. But many specific details are still uncertain for the next chapters.
The latter part of Chapter 277 shifts the focus to Jiwoo as his friends come to discuss the epic news of Kayden defeating Astra.
They all grasp the severity of this event and how it could portend much greater adversity for Jiwoo. However, Jiwoo herself still didn’t know anything about that implication.
Their sober conversation is interrupted by an unexpected visitor – Jiyoung arrives at Jiwoo’s door bringing snacks and refreshments for the gathered group. Her timely appearance cut short the heavy talk of the trials and tribulations to come.
While Jiwoo’s allies are aware of the growing challenges ahead, Jiwoo remains carefree.
Jiyoung’s sudden appearance adds to the intrigue, leaving questions about her motives still unanswered. With threats lurking and chaos looming, the upcoming chapters will shed more light on how Jiwoo handles the changing landscape.
Spoilers and expectations
A new challenger emerges to shake things up in this action-packed series. With the recent focus on Kayden and his rapid rise into the top 10 after defeating Astra, Jiwoo has enjoyed a period of relative peace.
While healer Kristen allowed Kayden to unleash his full power for a short time, Kayden’s true power overshadowed even that glimpse.
Kayden often suppresses his abilities for unclear reasons. But against Astra, he showed his true strength far surpassing the former top 10 member, despite Astra’s arrogance.
Now that Kayden’s victory was made public, his lone disciple Jiwoo would also attract attention. As the only student of an aloof master, Jiwoo represents tempting prey for his rivals.
The mysterious character from the previous chapter may be chasing Jiwoo and not Kayden, targeting the weaker hero of this fantasy thriller.
As Jiwoo’s period of calm comes to an end, the impending confrontation will push him back into the fight. As threats grow old and new, subsequent chapters will reveal more about the increasing level of challenge for both mentor and protégé.
