Wielder of Names 5-101
Chapter: 5
“The air is full of the plaintive cries of fools struggling pitifully to bend the arc of their own destruction. Thus it has always been.”
-Ryo ten Ryam, Swordmaster

It seems we may once again see gun verses blade, perhaps sooner than we thought.
Mathangi seems less than pleased by the arrival of her cohort.
Conservation of ninjitsu clearly states that this is far too many quirky foes to appear at one unless most of them are crap at fighting.
Do remember that “crap at fighting” is relative, and that they are all each other’s foes as well.
However, Allison has more raw power than all of the rest combined (though she is unlikely to use it), and Mathangi is known to be able to easily fend off all of these fools. And the Angels who shall arrive eventually are a class above most, if not all of them.
There is a hierarchy here, which will likely become more apparent once hell finishes breaking loose.
Well, it’s also unclear which side they’re actually going to land on. (If they try to barge through Mathangi…. probably both sides, of her.)
Not to mention the two incoming angels. I think it likely that a fresh look at the angels might well give AL-YS-UN some insights into the use of her Key.
108 stars means a hell of a lot of fire, don’t it
A worm wonders if his vision deceives him.
Blink twice, notice the giants ready to squash you worm.
“Yes, dear tasty giants, come closer, do step on me…” thought Shai-Hulud.
Clouds gather, and the storm comes.
I shall find a comfortable perch and perhaps a bag of roasted ants.
The uniformed fodder should run.
108 burning stars.
I don’t think the party is quite ready to start. We’re still waiting on the arrival of some guests – the angels, and perhaps even the enraged (and now totally unhinged?) Mother Om.
Time to put on the music and set out the chips and dip!
The pain train is leaving the station!
Choo choo!
…Great. Now I am unable to look at this page without a voice in the back of my mind going, “Are you ready to RRRRUMBLLLE?”
Oh dear.
Also, it’s nice to see the Gun Witch again
And seemingly doing her best bird impression. I surely can’t be the only idiot that thinks she looks like a perching feathered fiend!
…and then, there were none.
No matter what worldly remunerations those guards are awarded they are not enough.
I am aware that they live (or at least work) in a palace of opulence which no other world can compare to and that they can suffer the lavish attention of those infinitely their greater, but for what they are about to experience no thing or abstraction is enough.
The second from the left thinks this, while the first accepts it and the three in front choose to fight it.
Why do I have the sneaking suspicion that both those bounty hunters and those guardsmen are going to be splattered about the wall soon?
When the angels catch up with them, the paperwork from this will make Hell 71 look like a grocery receipt.
Allison gaze upon your followers, that they mean to kill you is merely proof of their strong will.
My money is on Juggernaut exploding all of them.
Hope y’all didn’t forget it challenged White Chain to see who finds Alison first…
Allison booked it after that first shot and now is currently halfway down the nearest hallway.
At least, thats what I would of done. :/
Aw geez these guys again.
What else can go wrong? The only way it could get worse is if angels crashed the party.
Have faith in Cio.
The Blue Author will most likely heighten the danger and the death for merely the sake of the Pen.
Words cut deeper than blades, provided the paper is strong enough.
Five pace thick paper seems to be about right.
So many faces that have not been seen for so long. It’s incredible where The Winding Path leads all whom walk it and how often each path intertwines.
I wonder just how many paths will end here.
In love and in glory
We worship her story
I am in love with that gun witch.
Powerful words from Ryo ten Ryam, Vengence and Revenge are sure paths of the want to survive. Walk free Fellow Reborn
Still waiting for Mottom to go berserk. Crazy nascent-god-kid blows up your source of immortality, bunch o’ dirtbags crash your party and run around stinking up your palace, henchmen shooting your furniture full of holes, angels murdering your guards…seems about time for her to take a leaf from Nand’s book and pull a “Not in my house” of her own.
Thus it began with a simple call and response –
“Are you ready Mathangi?” “Ay”
“Layla?” “Yeah”
“Ingsvld?” “Affirmative”
“Alright assembled, let this commence!”
Thus began the Ballroom Blitz

Seems it is not so difficult to enter a black king’s tower; I am surprised OM has survived this long with her current security.
There was mention of a problem at the gates a few pages back.
I hope giant baby makes an entrance like Kool-Aid Man
