Judging by the color, I’d guess they’re vacus needles.
It certainly wouldn’t be the first instance mortals gaining immense power from grisly piercings; Jagganoth drove nails forged from iron angel feathers into his flesh, and it made him into the ultimate monstrosity.
Still, it’s strange. I know they’re used to bind otherwise unbound devils and banish angelic souls to the void, but humans and servants? I have no idea. I doubt they’re in much of a mood to talk, but maybe The Perfect Goblin will.
COME ONE, COME ALL, AND LET THY BLADES DRINK DEEPLY. FOR THERE PROMISES TO BE NO END OF SLAUGHTER IN THIS BATTLE BETWEEN MONSTERS AND MADMEN.
LET THIS JOYOUS BRUTALITY HARDEN AND SHARPEN THY SELF, O FUTURE KING OF KINGS, O CHRONICLER OF THE RISE. FOR HOWEVER MAGNIFICENT AND SUBLIME THIS BRAWL MAY BE, IT IS NOTHING. IT IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THE HOT AND TERRIBLE GLORY THAT SHALL BE WROUGHT FROM THE BREAKING OF THIS PUTRID CYCLE OF RULERSHIP BY SEVEN STAGNANT GODS.
SO SHED THE BLOOD OF PRIEST AND ACCOUNTANT TILL YE MAKE A RIVER, HAMMER THESE SHARDS OF GLOWING IRON INTO A VICTORY FIT TO BE HUNG FROM A PLACE OF PROMINENCE IN THY HALL. AND DON’T YOU DARE FUCKING STOP, DON’T YOU DARE TURN ASIDE FOR THESE GITS. THERE’S A LAZY, DAFT CUNT OF A DRAGON THAT NEEDS A GOOD KICKIN’. BEAT THE SOVEREIGNTY OUT OF HIM, AND LEARN WHAT IT TAKES TO TRULY DEFEAT ONE OF THE SEVEN.
HAIL TO YE, KILL 6 BILLION DEMONS! ACHIEVE HEAVEN THROUGH VIOLENCE!
(and on that note, because I know how the mind of Abbadon works, the next page is going to be showing us what White Chain and Nyave have been getting up to…)
Now would be extremely inconvenient time for the other alice-uns to finish their rebellion against royalty. You cannot divide your focus when facing such a vast array of clergymen and not expect to come out maimed trust me on this.
Q1: Why is 000005’s chainsaw staff separately labeled 035? Is the staff also somehow a priest of the count, or is that the 035th chainsaw staff.
Q2: 000001 has a key around her neck. Thinking we might need that.
Q3: Looking at a list of world currency symbols, I don’t see most of the characters the priests are wearing. Maybe they’re currency symbols of worlds we’re not familiar with? Neat.
Hmm… Good call. I gotta go with Cat Master. Us cats gotta stick together.
(If someone ahead of me took the Cat Master, then I reckon I’ll go with the trap-finding cat.)
I find it interesting that Cio and Princess seem to be the only ones who are afraid of their new foes. The others actually seem excited for some combat.
Perhaps the fall from power to weakness gives a devil some semblance of humility. Or perhaps they are simply cowards at heart.
Hmm… I noticed that too. Could be maybe the formerly-Ebon devil’s have gained a sense of self-preservation over the eons? Or maybe they know how easy it is to be hurled back into the void? Both?
Gundhram the Reader, Belligerent Knight and Amateur Historian
Maybe every time someone gets through all the previous traps, Mammon adds on a new trap? With infinite space, there’s definitely space for it to happen. Plus, it means that when the previous thief tells new thieves how to get through, there’s always one more trap that they didn’t expect.
Since the Ebon Demon got this far, Mammon decided to add the invisible trapped pit and the guards.
Hmm… don’t worry much about that. Ol’ Grandad Princess was pickin’ them up last page. I expect we’ll see some active redispersal of the munitions shortly.
Hi all, I just got caught up. This comic is sweet, but I kind of have a question. What can a human being attain in terms of power (minus shiny forehead jewels)? Like, can a human learn those crazy super-martial arts? What about The Art (magic-stuff)? If there are restrictions, what are they?
The bird of the bottomless pit, worm of clear skies
Considering that Zoss, the conquering king, took over Heaven by slaying the prime angels, the answer seems to be “no.” In fact, human beings (or human-equivalent, in Mammon’s case) are the current rulers of the universe.
WHAT IS WITH PEOPLE WHOSE BODIES ARE FULL OF BLUE NEEDLES???
The red in ’em has gone out of fashion.

I can’t get enough of your character design.
Didn’t know devils could sweat through a mask!

Abacucleaver
neat
That halo is like the ears of Mickey Mouse. No matter what angle you view it from, it’s always a perfect circle.
It’s a Renaissance model.
[purification in progress]
WHERE IS THE CAT THO
Somewhere safe, I assume.
Cat Master does love his feline friends, after all.
Oh my! This won’t be pretty.
Epic battle ensues
We got some bleach shit all up ins.

Ah, good to see Mammon spared no expense in providing amusements.
Tag yourself, I’m Cio.

First one to hit the floor is a rotten egg!
First one to hit the floor is probably gonna be compost X3
Come to think of it, is Oscars nose usually that long? Hm.
Some masks grow extra horns…
An ironic punishment for misusing The Art perhaps?

It may be that they are the ones who actually know what they’re getting into.
priests with chainsaws and flametrowers, thats new but not surprising
Maybe the melee will be enough to disperse the fireflies
Homie got an abacus-sword.
I wonder if these guys weren’t here last time or if Mammon just trained/promoted a bunch of replacements in the intervening years.

Love the abacus sword
Boy, it sure would be nice if we had some GRENADES now, don’tcha think?
Hmm… don’t worry much about that. Ol’ Grandad Princess was pickin’ them up last page. I expect we’ll see some active redispersal of the munitions shortly.
Chainsaw polearms. That is… that’s…… I don’t have words. Just kind of a general excited clapping.

You mean “no there are no restrictions” I take it?
Lo! If we only had an explosive experts that could deal with large crowds!
Woe unto us.
Nah, ol’ Grandad’s got it covered 😉
