Wielder of Names 6-123
Chapter: 6
Seeker of Thrones, the next book of Kill Six Billion Demons, will begin on Friday, October 14 2016.
It’s been a long and crazy ride! I expected I’d finish this book in a year, but it took a little longer. Thanks for reading!
Congratulations on completing Book 2, Abbadon! It’s been a glorious thing to watch.
Now, in the time before Book 3, there is hype.
If only we could commission a KSBD Hype Train Picture!
Would take the better part of a decade to make a proper Hype Train Picture for KSBD.
(Mostly just Pursuers trying to destroy a train containing fleeing Alice-Un and company)
Allison is the best I love her! I better get used to that…
Seems like Cio’s feeling similar admiration, based on her present level of flustered orneriness towards Allison.
Are you suggesting that Cio is secretly Karkat
awwwww snap time to SEEK some THRONES
Is it a coincidence that Allison’s smile is reminiscent of a certain mendicant knight? Is it a coincidence that our Royal Aspirant looks in that moment very much like the woman known as Murder The Gods And Topple Their Thrones?
I’m not so sure.
Before this, she tugged at Royalty’s coat-tails; she admired its passage; at times, she harnessed it, but in the way a soldier might harness the river to travel while resting his feet. She chose King because to choose Peasant was to die ignominiously; a life of quiet desperation awaited as soon as she should choose to set her feet back on the riverbank.
And now? There is only one thing to say: hail, aspirant to Royalty, the Seeker of Thrones! Hail, the Redeemer, the Heir Apparent! Hail, Kill Six Billion Demons!
I am beyond perturbation at just having noticed that there is hidden text on each image if you let your cursor hover over the image.
Better get to browsing the archive then. I’m pretty sure they started appearing from chapter 3 onwards.
Welcome to the Concordance, brothersister!
And have a nice re-read.
An excellent excuse to read the story again!
You, my brother, have a great deal of catching up to do, then!
That which you’ve discovered isn’t vital, but much of it is very interesting.
It’s called a title and it’s very commonly used on the web, other sites you frequent might have it too!
One chapter closes, and a new reign of violence begins.
Congrats, Abbadon! I look forward to seeing this book in print as well. Or if you need more sales of the first book before contemplating a second, we’ll get right on it!
The immortal words of heroes and their unwitting devil sidekicks.
Reminds me of my fourteenth master right before her death at the hands of Queen of Smoke and Ash. ‘Course, she never slew a demiurge.
You go through masters like they are going out of style. Why oh green demon?
The mark of a clever demon is a long list of debts they no long have to worry about.
Some are simply that stupid.
Master number 5 laughed at Gog-Agog
Master number 12 attempted to bed a thorn knight
Master number 15 attempted to bed an ebon devil
I will not speak of what happened to master number 16
Master 20 tried to make an ebon devil. Fortunately she was devoured by the unbound flame before she could make the attempt.
Master 23 took artistic liberties with the Holy Ledger
And masters 3, 14, 22, and 25 all took up heroism.
My mistake was not recognizing such suicidal tendencies when I made the contracts. I’ve gotten better at that.
I am, in this binding, presently employed as a butler to my 33rd master. Fortunately he appears to be man of some sanity.
I would say keep a closer eye on that one then. Sanity is overrated among some.
Does that lantern say “Fin”?
Finn the little Perceiver
It’s an amphibious lantern.
My goodness, what a wild ride its’s been! And it looks to kick up a notch. ‘I salivate in anticipation!’ Also, 1st comment.
Sadly, the comments are not posted immediately.
Your effort is noticed, however.
That final panel…
I think I’ve found my new Queen…
I once had a queen. Five queens in fact, quintuplets that had shared the throne among them. The first went insane and made sack figures stuffed with her own hair because the second had locked her in a tower. Who in turn was stabbed in the back by the third after sending my on a lenghty quest. The third offered to make me her king when I returned, but wanted me beheaded after discovering I was secretly having carnal relations with the fourth. The fourth was executed, as was nearly I had the fifth not returned from a trip across the sea with a mighty army and overthrown her sister just as I was being led to the guillotine. She wished to pardon me for my crimes but changed her mind when she discovered I had escaped the country with all five golden crowns as compensation for my troubles!
That you will then attempt to flirt with, 578?
What else could I do? I just hope not to die, this time. As she is single, I, for once, do not fear the wrath of her husband.
What about the wrath of Cio?
I imagine such courtship would interfere with her fanfic.
I perhaps see a flaw in your strategy: you assume you have nothing to fear of the Queen’s own wrath.
Worry not, dear Sisther-Broter. We’ll keep a spare shell for you just in case.
Fear her wrath instead, sibling. Who knows, in time she could become a terror to exceed Zoss, or even Aesma, and we shall worship her for it.
Hurray another milestone in this excellent work etc. etc.
The Rising Kingling accepts her path!
looks like Princess is slowly starting to seep back to Red. Wonder if we’ll get to see that happen. and if it’s because we keep only using a couple of her many names. Hmm.
and I do quite like White Chain’s new outfit.
SO PROUD OF YOU GURL
HUBRIS
BEWARE OF THE HUBRIS
The only path to royalty is regicide.
If you would be king, be utterly free of doubt.
This is axiomatic.
On the ship full of devils, her smile is scariest.
Now THERE’S a creepy face
Could be worse. She could be winking…
Man, that’s a way cornier end line than I’d expect from this comic. And some strangely large eyes.
AL-YIS-UN has found peace with her destiny.
And now if only Cio had the presence of mind to keep a grip on that sword from so long ago, our aspirant to Royalty will be far better prepared for what lies ahead.
A sword is an ugly thing, as is known to all, but one who would be King must sometimes Divide her foes.
Please read your liturgy again, brothersister.
To Cut there is no need of a sword but the Blade of Want.
Ugly as a sword is, Allison will need it yet. Just until she learns the Art of cutting with words. And then, from there, to cutting with only her Will.
Seek heaven through violence.
great success is often built on meticulous planning
but just as often it is build upon the violence of action.
Placing tempo before precision is really punk.
I think that the best part is that none of them seem to realize that she destroyed the source of Mother Om’s immortality.
This is an absolutely spectacular webcomic! If there’s anything that we can do to support you (monetary yes, but also spreading the word, etc) you should tell us!
Maybe perhaps you might kinda sorta some day go look at this link: https://imagecomics.com/comics/releases/kill-six-billion-demons-book-1-tp
Get the version made out of paper. It’s easier to leave it out somewhere for others to discover.
Only 2 more gosh-diddly darned days to wait. I am excited.
The king comes to understand the nature of herself and truth. Something as fluid and changable as truth or self is dangerous and impossible to attempt understanding.
Ah, but they are beautiful lies, no?
I read a lot of graphic novels/comics online, and this one is by far the most interesting, innovative, and original. I love the art and your use of color as well. Looking forward to the next book!
