A fantasy webcomic. Updates M-W-F.
Wow, a god coming in out of nowhere? That’s neat! Almost like… some kind of… deus ex machinAH CRAP
I don’t know if it’s a deus ex machina situation. Lady Ilia hasn’t solved anything let and she’s shown up due to Kendal’s attempt to actually do something.
…what is up with Erin’s eyes?
It looks like Gold-Eyes Black Dragon is possessing him. This probably won’t end well.
(Thanks for catching that by the way, I never would have noticed)
Yeah… that’s why this chapter’s cover looks like that, and now I’m anxious… the Deadliest Being on the Planet is about to walk again
He looks creepy as f*** and now I’m worried he’s been possessed again
Nevermind, give @Shadow of Insanity a medal ?
So, this should be a god of the Sekrai/Merfolk population… She seems to already know a lot of things about Vash and Kendal ?
By the way, hi yellow eyes! we finally see you again *creepy music box starts playing in the brackground*
No one told you it’s rude to listen in on other deities conversations?
Not necessarily their deity, as it’s said that she’s the goddess of a lake and river valley. Unless the lake is particularly deep, I don’t think there will be merfolk residing within her domain.
On top of that, there’s more than one settlement of sekrai and/or merfolk (you said THE sekrai and merfolk population, implying that there’s only one)
I wish we had more information to research on ? (also sorry in advance, English is not my main language)
You are right, there’s probably more than one settlement, my assumption was that only one main body of water existed in this world (it was wrong, as we can see from the first pages of chapter 4 there at least a lake, some rivers, a swamp and something like a sea or an ocean?).
Still, considering how, for a deity to exist, there must be some individuals worshiping it (or fearing it) for a long period of time, the presence of a human settlement along the shores of that lake is certain; but if we look at the appearance of this goddess, especially at the ears, it somewhat resembles a fish like creature, so maybe there are other aquatic creatures worshiping her in that area?
Also this does not exclude the existence of more deities related to different settlements of this water-related-races, I said “a god”, not “the god”, maybe I should have worded my thoughts better (again English is not my forte).
Finally, I think I know why Lady Ilia has come here: as Windscrest is suffering without the winds from the storm, the lake may be drying up without the constant water supply bought by the eternal rain of that storm sector! Talk about climate change! (also if everyone dies/migrates from that area she will be rapidly forgotten and dissolve as well, so it’s probably in her best interests to rapidly find a solution about this problem).
Erin will have to explain a lot of things to the authorities and various deities after he gets exorcised…
(wow this comment got a lot longer than I initially thought)
Ah, didn’t notice “a god”, I can be oblivious sometimes (also, your English is really good)
Lady of the lake, I already have a sword and a wizard.
Also Erin glowing eyes.
Strange women laying in ponds distributing swords is no way to run a government!

We’re an Autonomous Commune.
owo
oh it’s the lady of the lake! bit early for a mid-series upgrade, isn’t it?
So either Erin is one of those weirdos that sleeps with his eyes open, or he’s waking up.
Fun Fact!
I used to do that as a child. Lifeless, still, glassy-eyed, shallow breathing, the works. Once, when I was 6, I fell asleep so soundly and suddenly that my babysitter thought I had spontaneously died in the backseat of the car. I woke up the the sound of 1d3+1 stages of panic and grief happening simultaneously.
When you’re such a water deity that your hair is perpetually floating around despite being in air:
She even has little bubbles floating around her
Also, I’m imagining her with a deep, smooth voice, like Kate Blanchett (might’ve spelled her last name wrong, the lady who plays Galadriel in Lord of the Rings)
I mean, unless it came out of a machine, I think you’re good.
Kendal: “Erin Ruunaser go back to bed!”
Erin: “But the sky’s awake, so I’m awake, I have to play!”
Is the cool fish goddess going to join the crew?
I like you
Thank you! I like your profile pic.
Thanks! I drew it myself 🙂
Let’s go, I was right. >:)
OH NO YOU’RE TOTALLY RIGHT AAAAA
Hi yes idk why this didnt happen as a reply but someone pointed out Erin’s very yellow eyes despite them not being ordinarily yellow
Red alert, RED ALERT!!!! This is not a drill!!! Erin’s eYES ARE YELLOW!!!! Shadow dragon boy IS BACK!!! I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!
So now there are a total of three Ilias/Ilyas in media I enjoy: Link’s friend from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Julian’s original name in The Arcana, and now this cool-looking goddess
Yes! A new character as I quietly suspected!
Oh wait her name is Ilia? Cool like that twilight princess ship jeje
Oooh bubbly fish woman here to deliver some plot-crucial exposition
Oh God, Gold-Eyes Black Dragon is possessing Erin again!
I’m getting the impression that Vash was like the Apollo of the gods. Reckless but insanely competent golden boy with a rebellious streak
Kendall refers to Asera (the god of the city Erin is from) as a fledgling god, implying that the city of Asera is much younger than the city of Vash was until recent events (we know Vash is at least two hundred and seven years old). It’s quite reasonable to assume that he had picked up a decent bit of experience in that time and was well recognised. Plus Vash the God is the sort of character who’s hard to forget once you meet him.
Vash (the city) is actually probably a lot older than 207, considering it was already well established by the time Iras was born
I’m going to headcanon that Ilia has been through what Vash/Kendal has been through.
Maybe not under such extreme circumstances, but she’s been through the ‘had to incarnate a mortal form to deal with crap that her full goddess form couldn’t handle for whatever reason.’ phase.
I don’t think The Collector trashed her settlement(s)… I think this is just her incarnation, like what Vash did before he got his soul succ’d out of him
Did anyone notice that even though Kendal is taller than Ilia, she exudes an aura of leadership over him?
Just me, then? Okay.
No, I noticed too. I get the feeling she might be among the wiser deities…
Oh nuts look at Erin’s eyes
ooo cool lake goddess 😀
Vash reminds me of the PJO version of Apollo.
Through the use of her water powers Ilia maintains constantly flowing hair like she was underwater. Divine, water powered floof, lovely outfit she has too.
Also, ho boy, the dark dragon is possessing Erin again! (If he possessed Ilia would he become the Dank Dragon?)
TL;DR: Ghost lady is a goddes, knows Vash, knows Vashn’t isn’t Vash.
Alternate TL:DR: Flowing Floof is a goddess who knows Dad Floof, and thus is familiar with Sword Floof. Flowing Floof came to Deus Ex the sh*t out this Machina. Dark Floof make appearance

“kicking in the door wearing ray-bans and a “suns out guns out” tank: ILIAAAA WHAT’S KICKIN’”
Sounds right?

I ship it.

The name’s Ilia, whom Kendal seems to know
They talk as Icarus’s eyes faintly glow
Yeah I know he has a name now, but you can’t stop me!
Oh no!
I was possessed by an evil dark dragon, who’s powers can disintegrate almost anything it touches, destroyed half of the city killing hundreds of people and am now getting questioned by the authorities about what happened!
And prom is tomarrow!
The panel with Erin in delightful in retrospect 🙂
Yellow eyes can’t be good, can they?
