    It's interesting how her whole body shrinks as she snaps out of it. Even her hair gets shorter...
    Almost a shame, I was looking forward to seeing Yab in Cio's fancy outfits XD

    The "again" Cio said is pretty interesting. Is it not the first time she regress to her previous persona?

    Could be. But I think it doesn't really matter. She swore to never be Yabaloach again, and yet there she was, a hair's breadth away from killing her friend.

    Anyway, new update is out.

    I Iove Cio's insults. "Tha troglodytic spawn"? I'll have to remember that one XD

    What I'm really curious about though is how Cio lost her memory of the vault the first time around. Was Mammon different back then? Did he perhaps just give her a piece of his key? Or could the memory loss just be a result of having her mask broken and rebuilt?

    Eh, probably it is what you said; she became Yaba again.
    And now kiss!
    Perhaps simply acquiring the fragment (regardless of how she got it) messed up her memory.

    Now that I think of it givin the latest panels, it's intresting that Cio (or female devills in general) actually has breasts. There is a reason why humans have them, but I kinda doubt that devills nurse their young. So their breasts would probably exist either for pleasure or for aesthetics.
    I wonder which one it is.

    Could be. I don't know why, but for some reason I keep thinking Mammon just gave her a piece of his key and she deliberately erazed her own mind somehow so she could have the satisfaction of revelling in her 'victory' over one of the seven demiurges or something like that.

    Mammon might have even given her a piece if he wasn't senile. Maybe he was bored and wanted to see her sow chaos with it, or maybe he was feeling cruel and gave it to her knowing the power it bestowed would driver her into bringing ruin upon herself. A bit like Smaug saying to Bilbo that he is almost tempted to let him take the arkenstone, just to watch how Thorin goes mad over the greed it inspires. After all, it's just a small piece of his power which he could (and did) easily reclaim.

    They get their names and masks from humans, so there is probably some bleedover.

    Good point, that's probably it.

    You think all the demons with more nonhuman forms got their maskes and names from other kinds of mortals?

    I don't really see it. Perhaps it was the blood making it look worse than it was?

    That's the thing. No more bleeding and the scars look 'closed'....

    That looks more like the nasty pucker you get when you've torn up a big hunk of skin, rather than closed.

    Might be going faster than it should, might not, kind of hard to tell.

    I'm more concerned with the fact her blood seems to be turning into plants.

    Is it just me or is the hand Cio is using to hold her up painted in the wrong colour?

    Nope. Her hand got the coloring of Allison's shirt.

    I love the part on the top right. The axe, the way Cio's face is drawn, the high priestess, it's just awesome all around. And damn, the more I read the more I like this Mammon. He's like the chill older brother of Smaug XD

    Also, I can't decide if the look on the high priestess' face when he starts talking about the count again is sorrow or contempt. Sad either way. It must be horrible watching someone you worship (and maybe even love) fade away like that, especially if they are basically immortal and will be stuck as this confused wreck forever.

    It's Sorrow, you know the Adjudicator used to get the Big D back in the day.

    I don't think it was sorrow but more something like "are you fucking serious". It looked like he was trying to keep her from harming/killing Cio and Allison and used a rather blatant attempt at it, thus the reaction.

    Somehow I'm not all that disappointed about it. Kind of expecting it actually.

    Allison of course is probably not going to take it as well.

    Of course not, how're we gonna get Mammon's backstory otherwise?

    I was kinda expecting Mammon to have been treating Zaid's like royalty and whispering in his ear about how he is his only friend, and he needs to take back the key from Allison and claim his rightful place or something. Zaid seems self absorbed enough to go for it, his spies could have told him that she doesn't want it, and taking the master key from his puppet 'king' would have been easy for somebody as old and experienced as him. It could have been an easy set up for Allsion to proclaim she wants to keep the key and set things right herself or something similar. Of course with the reveal that he is basically completely gone at this point, and not some kind of scheming evil mastermind that point is moot. Not that I'm disapointed, it's been a great read so far.

    Hmm, I wonder who bought the boy. Also, does this now qualify as a success? Because they'll have problems if it doesn't...

    It strikes me that the King of Devil's knew that Zaid was missing before they even entered the Vault. I doubted something like him would have offered his permission so freely without a guaranteed way of screwing the other party over.

    Update.

    There's a certain comedic aspect to this page.

    He also asked for her to spare a thought about him when she takes the throne, pulling that kind of shit is not going to foster good thoughts in the head of the Head Honcho to be; especially when she's not exactly pleased with you to begin with.
    Also on fire. And crashing. And isn't that the city where Allison got perforated? The one with the cannibal tree and youth giving fruits?
