Seeker of Thrones 10-134
“Know this, thou sinners all: we are the eternal servants of God called YISUN, who were forged by him, and from his fiery breath were we given life. Our flesh is smokeless fire, and our eyes are set upon the rim of a wheel which encircles the world. Swords will turn against our skin. We need not steeds, for we do not tire. We need not chariots, for our limbs can smash a cart into splinters with the greatest of ease. We have one ship, which we call Wind of Besh. It was made for us by God, called YISUN, and it has ten thousand portholes through which we may rain death upon you. Our bows are strung with dragon sinew, and our arrows can not miss their targets.
If thou harbour’st the slightest stain of evil within thy heart, we will know; thy breast shall be torn open, thy skull shall be ripped from thy spine, and we will feed thy fetid corpse to the crocodile god. This is my decree.”

Hark sinners all, gaze and behold, at the burning skies above
Escape arrives, from this doomed Vault, and from the Hawk to the Dove
I like to imagine that 82 White Chain took one look at the armada of ships rushing to Mammon’s bank, and thought “Yeah, Allison and her gang of demonic idiots are probably in the center of all that. Better go help.”
Oh here comes the rescue.
Poor Lizard. Never gets a break.
Come to think of it, the devil squad got a raw deal here. They won’t come away with all that much gold, and the reputation gain from getting into the Vault is somewhat diminished if a whole army did it the same day.
Come, now, Panel 3’s Cio.
Now is not the time for dat ass.
First panel 10/10 for PAPERCUT FATALITY.
Nothing like a chainsaw to the everything to make one consider a brief respite from thievery, eh.
Also, the cat better be okay at the end of this war, or so help me.
IT’S WHITE CHAIN(‘s helmet) RETURNED
Fashionably late I see.
Rip, to Charon, who like Layla Brimstone, is dead.
I was not expecting a new page so soon!
Are those chainsaw spears? I’ve never seen anything so beautiful
Oh Princess Jack Moonshine, the most Beautiful and Muscular of red devils! I see her and I gape in awe, her most beautiful face and her most long and elegant horns! Her muscle, her build, to even the chopsticks in her hair… It is all incredible, and I wish to weep when I see it, as she is so beautiful! If anything were to happen to her, then I would simply quench my flame!
Looking a little freaked out about just a little inter-universal warfare in an infinite treasure fortress
dananananananananananananananana White Chain!
To subdue evil!
YEAH!
Cio’s getting leg day in…
The very definition of a Magnificent Melee!
Who’s next?
*triumphant background music starts playing*
I’ve never been rescued by airship. Much to my dismay, my hirelings left me behind when I was on assignment in one of Jagganoth’s realms. That I am not Orlandu Thrice Dead continues to amaze me to this day, though I will admit I would rather have passed those days in peaceful oblivion than as I did as a mulethrall in those realms.
Excellent timing there, Pree White Chain
vengeful iron always had
a large stick up its arse
The eagles are coming..
Shoot, I hope that beat up old V-block devil-drive holds up for this. Thing looked like it was on its last legs before! Hmm… good thing they have a Mechanic with them. Oh wait…
Your friend doesn’t like lyin’
Sarpong replaced with Ryan
Faces made for cryin’
“I’m on a boat …”
the greedful demon falls.
Nyave is like “dammit Allison, I just finished patching up all those holes from the LAST time you went toe-to-toe with a god!”
When gods are dead, it may be foolish to wait for a deus ex machina. Yet probably an angelus ex nave will do.
Ugh, you can never find a place to park around here…
Big Damn Heroes
Theory: Because Allison failed to retrieve Zaid from the vault, she failed in terms of her contract with Himself and the Heretic’s Court will be going after Cio in the next few arcs. Himself probably knew that Zaid was never in the vault, He doesn’t seem like the type to gamble without a stacked deck.
Nasty paper cut you got there, my boy.
25 Vengeful Iron Suffers No Heretics or Fools to Live sounds pretty judgemental.
With that attitude your Thousand Enemies will be entirely your own fault.

Cio: This would have been so much easier if I was still channeling Yabalchoath…. I’d be larger and she’d be in smaller pieces.
What ‘wisdom’ is useful when death turns on you and the chase begins? Only the first lesson, yes? The one carved into your bones and deepest sinews, the instinct that says “run”? Wrong.
If you think that that is the first lesson, you were caught long ago.
AH! I’m all caught up again!
This is why the getaway driver is such a huge role in heist movies…
Holy shit
25 Vengeful Iron needs to chill the fuck out.
That said, it will be really interesting to see how the demons and the angel get along. And let me add that update 130-133 was… glorious. Awe-inspiring. Superb. Stupendous. Magnificent.
I paint as a hobby, and those 4 pages are larger than anything I’ve ever put on a canvas, and the detail is orders of magnitude ahead of what I can do. So, thank you for creating this comic with its awesome world-building, great art, captivating characters, and thrilling story.
The dividing line between good and evil runs through the center of every human heart.
This is either the great problem or, if you will, the great advantage of 25 Vengeful Iron’s decree.
I KNEW it!
HERE SHE COMES TO SAVE THE DAY! :3
The calvary I presume. n_n
aw is cio BLUSHING
Cio now remebers why leg day was so important.
No one ever expected the ‘Fly the ship in backwards’ manoeuvre!
here come the lesbians
Any predictions on the outcome of this battle? Blue City is looking pretty screwed
White Chain to the rescue? That would be very cool.
How humiliating for the devils to be rescued by an angel and a human!
The getaway car has arrived!
Allies are good to have in many places. Even better if they happen to like you.
Yeah, you know ol’ 25 Vengeful Iron did have his points, but angel had NO sense of humor. Hard to fight alongside an angle like that and think, “Do they really have my back?”
This needs to be read in Samuel L. Jackson’s voice.
Had I been killed 24 times, I expect I would have learned a modicum of humility. If a mortal boasts to you of his invincibility, you know at least that he has probably never died.
Nooice
If we outlive our God and Creator, then whom are we to serve? If our God should turn corrupt and worthless, are His Orders still Righteousness? If our God, whom we served without question, faithfully, trusting in all things Himself, abandons us, and casts us out, even while we are yet pure, noble, and dutiful…
..what then, Oh YISUN? What then, are we to do? Is following the Memory of what you were our purpose: to prop up a Corpse in both name and function? Or should we follow You into Truth, and seek a way to destroy our souls as well as bodies, as You have done? Or are we meant to follow our own path now, devoid of God but still alive?
Seriously, You were Infinite Wisdom. You could have at least left even a fraction of a hint. If in Your Infinite Wisdom you saw that the best path was for everyone to remain ignorant, then why even give us a sliver of the Truth in the first place? How can rot, filth, corruption and death possibly be the best outcome?
