Wielder of Names 2-34
Chapter: 2
“My apprentice asked me why I prefer the company of dogs to men. I told her that a man is an kind of intolerable monkey who clings obsessively to his own fate. To subvert his mortality, he inflicts death and unfathomable torture upon the world. My apprentice told me that I was being a little severe, and asked me about dogs.
I told her that dogs keep my feet warm, and they care very little how badly I insult them. In this respect, they are also better than apprentices.”
– Meti, of the Yellow City
So fluffy! I’d hug Princess all day. Cio’s Ebon form looks badass.
What happened to the poor devil whose mask was taken? Will they fade?
If he doesn’t find another replacement soon, he’ll just have to be extra sure to keep all of his promises.
Last panel shows somebody remembered what White Chain said to Cio way back when.
Darn it, of course … I had to re-read. The curse of webcomics.
Nice catch.
I must ask, did you draw out the storyboard for this one and grab names until you filled the bubbles, Preem Abaddon?
Poor Vladok. So much progress lost. Now you must start your Descent all over again, from the beginning.
Seeing this image of the Ebon that stole a key of kings, a thought occurs.
Do we know how many keys exist? Surely, if the image of the stolen key and of the Demiurges’ keys are accurate, there are more than eight; its appearance doesn’t match any of the ones we’ve seen thus far (the closest is Allison’s, which lacks the horizontal bar and belonged to Zoss, which inherently makes its theft from him unlikely).
And if there are more, why are there only seven demiurges lef… ah, wait. That’s the wrong question, I suppose; of course the others all died in the wars.
So, the right, or perhaps just less wrong questions: what happened to their keys? Can the keys be destroyed?… and if not, why has no one tried to reclaim them? Are they being hoarded somewhere?
If I recall correctly, 777,777 keys exist, split equally between the seven remaining God-Kings.
I was wondering that myself. In addition, Zoss’s key is a “true” key, forged with all names, but can other keys be combined for more powerful keys?
Each key, according to White Chain, relates to a single world. There are 777,777 worlds. Therefore, we can assume there are 777,778 keys including Zoss’ key. I have a suspicion that one head can hold multiple keys at once, or perhaps combined as Journeyman describes.
Wait… actually, looking back, this one looks familiar. http://killsixbilliondemons.com/comic/ksbd-3-47/
I wonder, can we guess which key Cio had taken from that symbol? Jadis or Mottom seems most obvious.
I would say Incubus, since we haven’t seen him and Cio is a fanfic writer.
She’s naming her! And then she’s going to name me!
Oh my gooooood.
I got that terrible reference.

Lived! It’s Devil spelled backwards!
It’s interesting to see that, despite how the form changes, the mask will still resemble itself.
I’m almost sure Miyamoto Musashi is a reincarnation of Meti.
Don’t complain, you’re the one who went back on a deal.
Princess Mamoru uh Moonshine Jagermeister Jack Jacck uh Daniels um uh Timothy Tim Bill Freddy Mercury Blueberry Luna Esquire looks like she ought to be in an 80s metal bend.
On another note, word about this is gonna get out damn fast.
Idea: Cio used to be the “Ebon devil of unrivaled power.”
I was under the assumption that Vladok was male. So are blue devils all female (for pronoun/body shape purposes), or did the name change that?
Also I would be upset with that name as well
Foolish of me not to suggest the name Jugemu-jugemu Gokōnosurikire Kaijarisuigyo-no Suigyōmatsu Unraimatsu Fūraimatsu Kūnerutokoroni-sumutokoro Yaburakōjino-burakōji Paipopaipo-paiponoshūringan Shūringanno-gūrindai Gūrindaino-ponpokopīno-ponpokonāno Chōkyūmeino-chōsuke
This immediately made me think of Pippilotta Viktualia Rullgardina Krusmynta Efraimsdotter Långstrump
Or as you guys know her, Pippi Longstockings.

Your work is very good and I appreciate you and hopping for some more informative posts. Thank you for sharing great information to us.
This is my first read through and I’m loving it and laughing uproariously
Question, what would happen if one knew of the secret names of Yisun and decided to mask and name a demon with said names?
Now I’m really curious to see what caused Cio to go from “An Ebon devil of unrivaled power” to where she is now.
