Translations Gone Wrong

People keep asking some questions, so let me explain the situation.  I bought volume 15, but its going to take a week to get it (shipping). My buddy in japan figured... since I already bought it, why not send me some photos to spoil me. So he sent me almost 100 photos of the pages. However... half of them I can't see the page numbers and they didn't load in order. So I have been stuck trying to piece together the different pieces. Originally the Chinese community wasn't going to translate it... but things happen and it looks like they are. Luckily for me, I have a friend who knows Chinese so I basically made him read me the Chinese translations, so I could piece together my Japanese Translations to make sure everything was... right? So you are receiving pieced-together translations from a guy who has 2 years of Japanese that is relying on a friend who hasn't lived in China for 17 years.... so just let that sink in for a moment. This is why this blog is titled "Tran...

  Bismuth So there is some debate around the name Behemoth. The creature is described as being large and made of rocks. At first I thought It was behemoth. As others have pointed out there was someone called Behemoth in the Evileye Side Story.  However... I suspect the actual name is Bismoth... as in the crystal. My main reason is because its described as being made of rocks. That sort of sounds like a golem (which is what I called it). However, golems are constructs and it seems weird to summon something you can create. It is also mentioned to be a magic spirit, which makes me think it's some type of elemental... well specifically a Bismoth/crystal/earth elemental.  That being said, as some noticed there is a creature called Behemoth in the Evil Eye Side Story... so it sort of fits. However... is that a mistranslation, or are they two different creatures, or am I just looking into it too deeply?  I'm going to leave it Behemoth for now, but I thought I would sha...

 When I translate, I listen to Suavemente on repeat.

Holocaust Scriptures Some are curious about the translation for "Holocaust Scriptures". The literal translation is "Fire Releasing Scriptures". There are a few ways to translate it and I'm not exactly sure which is best. None the less, the term Holocaust Scripture already existed, so I'm just reusing it. I believe they gave them this name because they were known for hunting down demihumans and burning everything to the ground or something like that. But, It's your overlord you can use any term you want.

I would like to note... I don't have the book yet, but I have a million pictures.  Luckily I have been able to piece together most of the parts, but I'm not exactly sure the order of these parts. I'm guessing this is the prologue, but there is another chunk that seems like it might be. Its hard to tell sometimes which how overlord can jump between different things for each chapter. But, I wanted to let you know, take these translations with a grain of salt. When I get the book I will try and clean it up and reorder it all.

 As Gwen reaches his hand out, "That's Enough!" Suddenly there was a casual male voice. This caught Gwen off guard and they immediately looked at the source of the sound. That is a male elf. How is that possible, there wasn't no one else around here. I was even using Invisible when approaching the body. TS: I'm not sure what type of Invisibility they are referring to. I had to look the word up and it says "Unknowable", so I'm guessing something in between invisibility and Perfect Unknowable because they still need to cast Silence.  (Elven King) Did you know, that living beings become strong when they are in a state of extreme danger? Fighting is the fastest way to become stronger. That's why I thought it might be a successful test. He separated her from her mother and sent her to the front lines. The voice fell low and the man looked at the girl's corpse lightly. "It's a waste of my time, even worse..." (Gwen) His failed works a...

The Captain of the Holocaust Scriptures is lying in wait in the Sea of Trees. He notices a young elf sitting on a chair on a high mound. They appeared to be female holding a giant bow in her hand. The girl was by herself and just a child... which made it all the scarier. The people in the realm of heroes are enough to turn the tide of the war and are equal to 10,000 soldiers. The girl in question restrained the 40,000 strong army of the Slain Theocracy. Only a Hero can fight a Hero. There are no hero-level beings in the Holocaust Scriptures. There were in the past, but they were all transferred to the Black Scriptures. Almost all of them have stepped into the realm of heroes. It's a pity that Gwen isn't to the level of a hero, but the power of the group of Holocaust Scriptures is enough to kill the hero. It is necessary to correctly grasp the strength of the opponent to avoid unnecessary risk that could endanger his fellow Scriptures. Something about the girl made Gwen feel unc...
