“He who drinks oceans of blood shall never cease bleeding from the mouth.”
-Proverb of the Concordant Knights
Unfortunately, neither I nor any of my siblings seem to possess knowledge of the strange language presented here. Curious, curious indeed.
Is there anyone present who can provide a translation?
“You’re already dead.” Omae wa mou shindeiru.
Come to think of it. That looks alot like a pun on Fist of the North Star. Adorable.
“Pree” appears to be some sort of honorific, judging by previous appearances. Used to refer to gods and mortals alike. By “Pree Asma-“, 82 was probably uttering a sort of prayer before it was interrupted.
‘Pree’ is the feminine form of ‘Preem’, which I believe is short for ‘supreme’.
I read it as a sort of “Oh shi-” since 82 was ambushed completely unawares earlier, and has only just now become aware of the presence of this other Angel.
Hmmm…on page 15, 82 White Chain invokes several beings to “forgive me for this violence I am about to commit,” and the first is “Pree Ashma,” spelled exactly thus, with an “H”. Perhaps it was attempting to begin this same prayer.
I believe the person is referring to the alt text, which appears to be an Asian language. (hold mouse over the pic to see it).
To be beset by an opponent of angelic skill moments after resurrection…
Speaking personally, I would at least want a cup of coffee first. I do not envy 82 in the least.
Doy I can’t believe I haven’t noticed it before. Seems like 82 is a demon-angel hybrid. The red coloration, the appearance of fur, and the deformed face containing aspects of both demons and angels. I wonder if s/he is a product of a union between a demon and an angel.
An amusing theory, to be sure, but an unlikely one. Uncountable though the varieties of demon may be, there is not a one that would not find it difficult to produce offspring with a sentient mass of supercharged plasma. For their part, angels are neutral of gender, though masculine in their mannerisms. Rest assured, 23 Liminal Blossom Punctures the Heart of the Unrepentant, Deliciously is purely angelic in nature. That such a being would have the disposition and proclivities of 23 (or willingly go by ‘Delicious’) is but one example of the great decay so characteristic of this age.
I do suspect that the missing portions and cracks in 23’s mask/face/shell (I am not versed in angelic biology) are the consequences of their unangelic actions and appetites.
It would explain why 82’s own visage cracked to reveal her eye when she deliberately deceived Preem Nand.
For somebody who lives in this age of decay you sure seem observant of its flaws rather than falling prey to them, mate…
In the time of their golden age, the Demiurges acted with great purpose. They founded the orders, forged the angels, shaped the keys… my pages could be filled with but a fraction of their feats. But they lost that purpose, succumbed to idleness, and the age of creation passed.
I am a Geas Knight, and my oath is paramount. Any true knight of my order is filled with that sense of purpose, to pursue our quest to the very edges of creation, and beyond should that be needed. In this, we are beacons in a directionless age.
That’s the danger of complacency, once you sit on that comfy cushion you earned. You’ll never want to leave again and like a ripe fruit being idle causes you to rot away into something nasty and poisonous.
But rotten plants fertilise the soil and make way for new plants and their fruit. So, who will be this metaphorical new fruit to replace the rotten ones?
(Hahaha! Now I’m also jumping into the metaphor game)!
What use is a beacon when the world is blind?
Such nihilism ill becomes one of your order, Kierinsaval. Or am I to believe that feather holds as little value to you as wealth to a Mendicant?
I am of the Peregrine: We stand in the road so that only the Right may pass—the world is not my charge.
If he was a hybrid, I believe it would be due to a collaboration between a god and goddess, with the former drawing inspiration from the latter in sculpting an angel. Or perhaps a body or armor might be created in a manner most demonic, but still house a completely angelic spirit?
Now that is an interesting theory. Now, let us speculate on which Gods and/or Goddess had a hand in the creation of dear 23 (and 82 for that matter).
Perhaps Un Do Ath? No, 23 acts with too much purpose, even if it is a sinful purpose.
Maybe it is Oomodh? That might explain a few things.
Maybe Us-Q-… Bah, that can’t be it.
Hmm, Ys-Malak might have been involved, or might not.
…So are both of 82’s eyes open, now?
For the sake of the artist, let us assume 82 was so shocked by this sudden attack, the right eye just reflexively popped open.
When 82 White Chain returned to its armor, both its eyes were seen to open and issue blue flame. Its right eye closed immediately after, but now it is open again. Perhaps this is connected to states of extreme stress.
(Or…perhaps the blue flame filled with eyes *is* 82 White Chain, and the colorful outburst we witnessed was flowing inward rather than out? It would explain previous references to its empty body as “armor”, and the known liquid or vapor states of angels. Such fascinating beings.)
I suspect that the spots of light are also eyes of a sort, as angelic beings are made of light and eyes. The face-eyes are only to put others at ease in their semi human form.
Let us not forgot the importance and utility of eyes. I myself have been known to daub oneself in all manner of eyes simply for the pleasure of it, but then I am a coward, and such a thing is expected.
Methinks our Angelic friend is instead gifted with many vents, or openings, with only certain rents in the armor that is their corpus being well suited to housing an eye.
But who can rightly say? Perhaps it simply finds too many eyes to be gouache? I would not know, being a coward.
Oh dear.
Ingsvld? Where are you dear man? Do you spy what I see, there crossing the reddened gap? Come fellow, we must away, the angels do reiterate their ancient wars. We shall be caught up in the echoes of their violence lest we proceed anon. Furthermore, I have many questions for the book in the thief’s possession. Let us be off.
Agh. Kierinsaval forgive my lapse.
Is it Kierinsaval? Or is it Ingsvld? Where are my words and pages bringing me information on the various ages? Dear me, I’m becoming undone. The stress of war creates a great dysfunction within myself. I only hope I can rectify this prior to imminent combat.
But first to draw up a drink and some food.
I stand beside you, Speaker. The Geas Knight is afar from here, winding his words to the empty air.
Then here sir.
A goblet and drink.
You are most kind, friend. I accept them gladly.
I so love this story, the world, the look Allison has when she realizes she was just about to pick a fight with a big bag of nope.
A most intresting fight. I wonder how much damage will be caused?
Not going to lie, both 82 and 23 have some serious pouting, plump lips going on there.
Now if only I could get such a shot of Clio’s…
Adorable.
Hello, blame you in spite of tidings! I repost in Facebook
Pree Cialis of the Dick Pills Guild makes an offer that is hard to resist…
If it was anyone’s fault it was hers, first for grabbing initially hold of the jabbering demon that later told everyone and then for just about everything that went wrong when they entered the Slavery Palace.
Even now she’s focusing on ‘Girl’ rather than on what’s going on and considering she just recovered from being ‘unconscious’ she should focus less on showing how tough she is and more on being competent.
If anyone’s curious, the alt text says “omae wa mou shindeiru”
