No disrespecting Auntie Maya. She has seen a LOT. She can also see a future of putting up with Allison’s crap for the entirety of the training montage. This is why she drinks.
What do we think about death? Masters-living-in-the-past usually do not outlive the training for long, if indeed they even outlive the training at all.
Maya said she has extended her life though hatred and that God would not forgive her for the hatred she holds for presumably Incubus.
Her backstory flashbacks have run a good portion of the book.
It is a valid guess to assume she places great significance on past events.
There arent many humans (servants are supposed to be near immortal, but none of them have offered up their side of history) alive from that period, Abbadon has simply chosen her to be the vessel of that history.
I thought about this with the last page, but what IS it with other characters wanting to hack bits off of Allison? Are they all trying to make keepsakes of bits-and-pieces of she-who-wields-the-penultimate-key?
I think it’s worth pointing out something about this interaction:
Maya is striking Alison on her least vulnerable part.
Alison was struck by deep violent slashing blows from Jagganoth. Her arm and leg were torn off by such blows. But the blow that struck her head, while it did tear out her eye, left her head firmly unbroken.
Maya is striking that unbroken, and perhaps unbreakable, head. Does she know what she is doing? I suspect so. Maya is wise and observant as well as strong.
You know, a lot of pages have ‘little dissapointments’ in them. Because stuff always happens slower than i’d like, ideally i’d have the comic completed and finished NOW but that’s not going to happen. And hurrying that much is just going to end up with this comic becoming a 4 panel type deal, which detracts from the major appeal of it.
Not this update for some reason, i love these pages and i’m completely satisfied. There is no immediate burning urge of ‘ok what next?’.
Where did Maya’s hair go? Like I guess she also shaved it off but her head doesn’t have stubble on it like Allison’s, and there’s no sign of the cut-off like there is surrounding the Mouse. Is her huge hair a wig?
I assume the jug Maya swigs from is a (5th Edition) Flask of Endless Protein Shake.
She went from frumpy, mysterious one-shotting angry vet with to drunken master power lifter directly in line with her old master Meti Ten Ryo.

I have a fridge like that: perpetually full of protein products, no matter how many are eaten, drunk or thrown out in disgust. But I can get cool superpowers from it?
She made really great work on saving her face from scars 🙂 Respects.
Oh this is going to be oh so fun to watch unfold as Maya teaches Alison how to survive Aunty Maya’s School of Hard Knocks.

I think she drinks also for other reasons, but this is definitely a good excuse.
As we were taught so we teach others. Behold the cycle, pure and infertile. So it goes.
I have lesbian friends who will not be the same after this one.
real shit

Nobody’s said that she lives in the past, whatever you mean by that. If anything, she has let go of that.

STUDENT! YOUR TECHNIQUE REMAINS…..INEXCUSABLY SLOPPY!
SHOULDER SQUARE! HEAD UP! POSTURE….FORWARD!
This seems like a ‘starting with the basics’ moment though.
Allison if you have time to talk you have time to dodge.

What IS it with characters and hacking bits-and-pieces off of Allison? And they all trying to make keepsakes or holy relics out of her?
I apologize, I did not mean to post this same comment multiple times.
Head Smashing Lord > Wheel Smashing Lord
Auntie Maya, nataraja, lord of the dance. The only thing missing in stamping out the dwarf of ignorance… oh. Oh my… poor Alison …
Alison forgot that thick thighs end lives.
“Boot to the head.” *THWACK*
And another for Jenny and the wimp!

Use your head, Alison.
Scull of YIS-Myra: Redux?
Or early-stage Head of John, learned from Incubus.
Actually, Allison’s Skull-of-YS-Myra attack was done while Incubated, so they are the same teaching.
‘incubated’ lol, that’s one way to put it XD
BALD ARC! BALD ARC! BALD ARC!

She’s gonna stomp

Is this nirvana? Is this inner peace?

That’s… a very good question.
She cut it closer, as a master of the sword. Seems simple to me.
That’d make sense, if there was any sign of the removed hair on the ground. There was so much of it and it seems to have just disintegrated
I mean, it’s Maya + sword. It might well have
On the last frame Maya is just hilariously badass. Not that she wasn’t from the very beginning, but this one is something entirely extraordinary.
