Seeker of Thrones 9-118
Chapter: 9
‘O Cleaver of Heretics, come forth,
Let the fetters be upon the blasphemer,
Let the lion tear at his breast;
I will lay fire upon him and punish him with the fury of the Lord God;
Carnivorous dogs will feed upon his entrails;
His shade will not sink to the land of dust,
It shall be torn into pieces by the fiends that dwell by the foot of the Flaying Tree;
Spawn of the beast god, Foul Emission;
The scourge of Akaroth will be upon his flesh’
– Incantation of the Judicator Axe
The Judicator can never slay Mammons greatest enemy, Ennui.
Ssshhheee’sss bbbaaaccckkk
This that Axe based in magical summons or is it a physical Axe with the appearance of one’s holy wrath?
Thank God good old Mammon is there to put the focus back on the important things…
yes i would like to pet this sweet dragon he deserves it
I’m guessing that this dragon wasn’t all that sweet back in the day, or he wouldn’t have all this gold to count.
O God! my God! our fearful Count is done,
The ledger is now full to the brim, the sum we sought is done,
The gold is here, the gems so dear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the priestess grim and bladed;
But O key! Key! Key!
O the bleeding drops of… red, maybe?
Where on the gold my God lies,
Fallen cold and dead.
One…
0000001: “None of this gay shit now, girls!”
Mammon: ‘Not so fast, what did I miss?’
My goodness.
My goodness
My goodness
That is how you are shanghaid into accounting these days, isn’t it? Running into hell to slay the dragon, get overpowered by puny romantic feelings and start counting out of remorse.
I have to say, it’s a subtle detail, but I like how she holds the axe (halberd?) in the fourth panel.
That grip, while not ideal for actually attacking from, really gives the impression of weight and heft to the axe.
“I could literally kill you by relaxing two fingers.
“Give me an excuse.”
Senile giant dragon god and the biggest Scrooge McDuck fan in the universe… still better than Trump.
‘pon columns let your tail rest
oh dragon, and hear our request.
we seek no more than heart in chest
Stop with lesbianing around my vault! It’s distracting! Go hold hands somewhere else!
Now thats what I call a Deus Ex Machina
Mammon puts the Deus in Deus Ex Machina.
wow, what a total count
“This devil once stole from you!”
“I have no memory of that.”
“You have dementia!”
“So? Perhaps I should embrace that excellent excuse to be a forgive-and-forget kind-of-guy.”
*facepalms*
I love you, Grandpa Dragon <3
So is this a case of literal Divine Intervention?
That is a plot twist. Mammon saving those who come to kill him. Zero One Priestess must be thinking about resign.
I was thinking 01 might even be Yabby herself, having used her bit of the king’s key to double back on her own timestream to serve the good old dragon within the vault independent of her eventual fall when she emerges with her memory wiped.
The Judicator seems… concerned over Mammon’s possible recognition of Cio. Perhaps she’s not the helpful warrior nursemaid she seems?
Hmm. Hmm hmm hmm.
Friend Ulurhad, perchance, know you where I might purchase the jumpy lady’s glowing axe? It seems strong.
Oh shit, they knoes each otherses
