Seeker of Thrones 9-113
Chapter: 9
“Preserve my corpse within the necropolis!
Let no force turn against me in the earth!
And any false god who trespasses my tomb,
Let he be punished by the Wind of Akaroth!”
– Ya’at Death Prayer
Kill Six Billion Demons
BREAKER OF INFINITIES
Looks pretty gay to me tbh
Methinks Miss Cio/Yabalchaoth just cut her remaining lifespan down to a few minutes, tops.
*grabs popcorn*
Interesting that she continues to use the dagger. Even more interesting that it did not punch through Alison with ease, given the force applied.
Perhaps the Rising King is gaining back her footing after initial moments of weakness…
…par for the course, really.
Alison, Heir of the Key, witness the first casualties of being a King: close friends and the comfort of Death.
Hear the bite of steel
on rib, on stone, and feel
it in your neck, and reel.
Truly Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned– least of all when that woman in Ciocie Cioelle.
Now we just need to hang her from Yggdrasil for 9 days and 9 nights and the powers she once wielded so often uncertainly will be dwarfed by her mastery of the Runes.
Well, so long as she doesn’t die, anyways.

God damnit Alisson you need to not get stabbed. Not getting stabbed is an extremely important skill for royalty.
Damnit I want to know what happens next. I should have stopped reading for like two months or something and then I could have just gone trough this part immediately.

RETURN
By the power of Monomyth, AL-YISUN survives.
And so as The Wheel turns, do all wheels follow.
It must be true, because YISUN is a brilliant liar.
Not 100% sure the boyfriend (remember him?) was worth all this.
yeah he was a creep. However, I’m looking forward to when AL-YIS-UN actually rescues him, because then her stated reason for being there is done, so how will she justify this to herself then?
She’s gonna roll up to him in like 50 years with her demon wife and Starbucks all like “Oh hey bruh s’been a while.”
There you go. Now you have a piercing. I think Abbadon read to much GoT and let Al-is-un being killed.
That’s what I’d call tough love.
I suspect Cio is going through the same thing Allison was earlier. She’s in there, but she’s not driving.
Hrmm… I agree. But y’know, it’s tough being a Devil sometimes. Especially one that’s been under a lot of stress lately and fighting against her basic nature for quite a while now. Kinda like sending an alcoholic on a mission to steal booze from a distillery.
So what you’re saying is that Ciocie and Yabby need to smooch inside her head.
Very well put!
Yet, even without the third insight, it’s not like we didn’t see this coming
The laws of fanfiction are terrible in their majesty and not lightly to be broken. First hurt, and only then comfort.
And so perished Allison. Bad ending. Undo? Reload? Restart?
Uhhh, grandpa dragon, please separate these fighting children.
Well, I see Cio’s having a great time. Good for her. 🙂
Happy Valentine’s
And thus our king to be has learned a valuable lesson about demons.
And so it begins with the one thought of as “friend” and will henceforth end with the extermination of all of their kind for not one will be suffered to exist .
To be fair she was the one who betrayed Cio first
I guess old Yab’s the new protag. Alright then.
Unless Alison can regain the ‘ignore wounds’ ability she had while under the influence of Incubus, that looks lethal.
Yabal either switched hands or switched grips between panels 4 and 6.
Switched grips. It’s reverse-grip in her right hand in panel 4, going by the arrangement of her fingers.
In retrospect, this seems like it was very foreseeable. But then again, everything always does.
