Kill Six Billion Demons
BREAKER OF INFINITIES
Perhaps Al-Yis-Un needs to take a good look at the proverbial “humble pie” that she is consuming. Sages have long regaled this recipe, which could “make or break a bitch”.
Psychic lance right to the snake-face.
Awwww. I was hoping for more of a My Hero Academia tournament arc with each fight getting more play than just a quick montage, and some focus on other key characters. Is Maya here kicking some ass? What about Layla Brimstone or INGVILD?
INGSVLD*
I call him InGeasValidus, easier to remember and pronounce heh
Nyave’s usual voice of reason being turned into the only argument for “stay in this Gog-Agog run deathmatch” only leads credence to the Wormified Bookworm theory.
DAMMIT, ABBADON, HOW DARE YE DESPOIL THE BEST GIRL!?!?!
Yeah, she doesn’t act all cooky like Gog_Agog, but she doesn’t act like normal Nyave either, that’s for sure.
We haven’t seen much of her since the timeskip and the heist.
Maybe she’s just changed a bit.
Maybe??
What a grand and intoxicating innocence! How could you be so naive?
Plan A: Get Al to eat the worm willingly
Plan B: Rig the matches against Al to make her think she *has* to eat the worm to get ahead
Plan C: A bottle of really good tequila
Well, they don’t call him Abaddon the Despoiler for nothing.
That’s one nope rope whose snoot I wouldn’t want to boop.
VULKAN LIVES! And he wants to boop that snoot! (because of course he does)
VULKAN LIVES!!!
*STOMP* *STOMP* *STOMP*
VULKAN LIVES!!!
*STOMP* *STOMP* *STOMP*
…sorry, what were we saying?
that he wants to boop THAT SOGGIN cute snoot
After getting booped with that Thunderbolt of Zoss, I’m not sure there’s any snoot left.
Brodda, I wish to pet this creature!
THIS IS STARTING TO GET SUSPICIOUS
Indeed. We should conspire together to develop a theory, being careful to only consider real olds in order to avoid being led astray by fake news.
Now, quickly before the sap freezes…
I see what you did there.
So she fought the Society for Creative Anachronism and Cascading Style Sheets?
What an odd tournament lineup.
I’ve fought plenty of CSS in my time. It can be one of the most deadly and arduous of life’s battles.
See, this kind of shit is why we stopped doing one day tournaments in my world, she’s better than the competition but her condition slowly deteriorates at every fight.
A few weeks of healing should be had between bouts for a fair shake
I suspect that testing ones endurance is part of the point, but it has the added side effect (intentionally or not) of wearing down those who really could land a hit.
Also, it’s a three day event, not one day.
Taking bets that Agog is actually giving her the hard match-ups.
This. But not out of malice. She just wants to see some cool fights
And because giving Allison easy fights is bad preparation for Solomon.
Need a quick solution? mmm…what about… A SHOTGUN ???

I forgot to say anything. You’re going to want depleted uranium slugs for that thing.
I forgot to say anything. Anyhoo, you’re going to want depleted uranium slugs for that thing.
Sandworms.
Nobody expects Sandworms.
Wow !
I’m really stoked by the enthusiastic response to Abbadon’s Original Character Tournament. I wonder if there is a KSBD fan-artist who wants to participate who doesn’t have a character concept. If you’re out there, I have a character idea. Maybe we can collaborate.
Abbadon, Sephara, the Naga fighter is really cool. Nice realization !
“Woah !” Nice dodging Allison ! Butcher Karkin tried to bludgeon you into the ring. Wonder how you dealt with him. I can imagine Gog-Agog’s play by play commentary.
Cheers !
I can’t overstate how much I love panel 1. Sephara is my kind of gal. At least I think she’s a gal.
Hrmm… Reckon it’d be an interesting twist if it ends up being White Chain that actually has to face Solomon David.
A ) White Chain is soon badass !
B) Nyave reaching into bag .. Hmm . Is it ” we can rebuild you , we have the technology ” ? “Six Million Dollar Women*”
*not adjusted for inflation.
Six Billion, more like.
Yeah. That inflation rate is crazy , rught ?
Hahaha, I love White Chain’s “Hmm, yes” face, here.
Six Billion Demon Woman
It appears I have mistakenly posted one below my intended target…
I have the same trouble with accuracy, which is why I am only a spectator and did not enter this tournament.
Sense of wonder or disgrace
leads all kinds of folks to place
their hands in front of mouth or face
That one somewhat better. Must be hard making poetry with empty skull , but you manage ! Kudos !
*honks*
lol white chain has barely broken a sweat XD
I wonder when WC will come up against an opponent that poses a true challenge.
Loving the character designs.
Only in KSBD can the main protagonist defeat a Marilith in one panel.
Thank the gods, Abbadon is keeping the fights fast and glossing over some of the stuff to keep the narrative flow going. I was a bit afraid that we might have to sit through one of those anime tournament arcs in which every single fight is absurdly stretched over whole episodes.
I see that one of the key things that AL-YS-UN has on her side is speed. Speed of thought, speed of decision, speed of action. Speed is one of the greatest powers in all combat, whether the clash of mighty armies or the most meagre of fist fights in the basement of a mean tavern, for speed robs the opponent of the time to counter what you do.
Sharp stabby weapons are useful too.
“Barely scraping through” is the time-honored, traditional method every hero uses to win anything, ever. It’s only the Bad Guys(tm) that breeze through challenges – only to lose out in the end.
Aye, but is Solomon genre savvy enough to realize that? I very much doubt it.
Got is just running Allison through the Monster Manual?
Is that guy in the bottom left of the last panel a shout out to Dresden Kodak?
Allison is not going to draw a drop of blood from Solomon David at this rate, even if she somehow makes that far, that’s for sure. White Chain vs. Solomon David… that might be a more equal fight, though Ihave my doubt even she could take him.
I wonder what kind of tricks Nyave has in that bag of hers? (I almost expect her to get another worm out, whether disguised or not.)
And does that person on the left in the last panel have a camera for a head?
