Seeker of Thrones 10-126
Chapter: 10
“In the vault of Yre, the servants of the god of the Deep number only ten thousand. They venerate the holy ranking of matyrs, by which each is known by his own number. Once a martyr dies, all below him are risen in rank and automatically promoted, thus are the priests an eternal body.
To make it to the top of that holy order to the very first rank, a servant must be practically bathed in blood.”
– Payapop Pritram

Fear And Loading prints monthly.
But does she have enough belts?
AYE
I suspect a few martyrs will be promoted many times this night.
I can’t be the only one suddely reminded of another famously violent priest by the name of Mozgus?
I don’t recall Mozgus wearing bondage gear.
Rob Liefeld would be besides himself with joy at the number of belts on her
ZERO ZERO ONE
What kind of creature is she? Demon ?
Worse. Nun.
NUN?! FECK!!
…in retrospect I really should have seen bondage nun coming.
I don’t know what I was expecting…
Well…okay, then. That is quite possibly the least practical thing I have ever seen.
*Sprays drink everywhere*
Uh, okay thats not what I thought would be under those robes.
Did Alison’s Heist Team interrupt her in the middle of something perhaps?
…Never thought I would ever be so glad to see an army of fanatics.
BTW, apparantly a misprint – “matyrs” instead of “martyrs”.
Nun Shall pass…or pass on Nun….
Woah.
let me repeat myself
THIS IS A PEACEFUL LAND BITCH!
Just as Mammon rose by killing his own, so to do his servants, venerating their god in holy blood and in so doing gain some of their holy scars, driven not only by devotion, but by greed for death.
Pity then the fool who would take up arms against the servants, for they shall face not mere priests and accountants, but some of the most dangerous warriors in all the worlds. A force that is dangerous even to angels themselves, and seemingly as endless as an ocean.
So listen not to the servants claims that Yre is a peaceful land, for beneath the surface it is stained in the blood of countless servants and fools who sought the wealth of Yre’s vault.

And dropping back to reality, metal page is metal.
Also, it seems Nadia may have underestimated the fight she’s in for, as I would wager 00001 can draw straight from Mammon’s key, to the point she’s almost as strong as her god once was. And thus, Nadia faces not a senile old dragon, but the an avatar of that Dragon’s raw power. Along with a slightly dented army of insane, masochistic priest accountants, greedy for violence and more holy scars.
Well, we can assume she’s channeling a significant portion of the Dragon’s power if she doesn’t become some sort of vegetable matter in the first 1/2 second of the fight…
By my count there’s one ship for each of us and they’ve managed to break into an infinite dimension by sheer force of will…
All right ya’ll, thumbs up, let’s do this!
– 001
GOD DAMN WHAT THE FUCK 000001?
Someone should really talk to her about what she’s wearing.
I mean, do you think she knows? Probably not, she doesn’t get much time out.
That style is so last-century.
This panel feels really out of the blue and uncomfortably…fetish-y? I don’t know this comic has had character designs head in this general direction before but it’s never made me kind of viscerally uncomfortable in the way that this one has like no other character has quite this sheer LEVEL of sexualization on top of their ritual mutilation and it’s just really, deeply discomforting and not in a positive way like some of the uncomfortable content has been so far.
No, I agree. I get what the author is going for, but it doesn’t work. With all the “fanservice” we just had with half-naked Cio and Allison, this projects a feel of “everyone is sexualized, even the seemingly non-sexual character”. It reminds me of a really sexist pulpy post-apoc comic I used to read. I get that this is probably meant as an homage to all that over-the-top fiction, but I think it’s an homage to some tropes that really feel like they exist for the author’s personal satisfaction.
I fully agree with you here. If this image of 001 was the first thing I saw about this comic there is no way I’d keep reading. I mean it’s also just kind of silly looking, but still starts to make me rethink other parts of the comic.
“I fully agree with you here. If this image of 001 was the first thing I saw about this comic there is no way I’d keep reading.”
This, seriously.
Like, not even the mortification of the flesh part for me – that makes sense with their god and all – but literally everything else about her in that panel is so extremely porny.
I also really hate how this page is making me reevaluate other parts of the comic. There are lots of bits that didn’t seem too bad at the time, but in light of this… 😐
The spiked pasties is a bit much yes, but other than thst…
Also agree. This is the first page I’ve seen and thought “wait, what now?” So many pages of great character design and awesome female characters, and now we get chastity-belt nipple-spiked fetish nun? It made me sad. But fortunately I’m writing this on a re-read, and have never had that problem again in this otherwise excellent comic.
Careful, leech-queen. I think you made her mad.
This has got to be the most metal thing since the iron age.

“This is a peaceful land.”
Oh…
Ok. I believe you. Sure.
I truly pity those who would intrude upon the martyrs of the deep, to say nothing of their god. The one I pity the most, however, is the healthcare provider for the Priests of the Count.
