Fine, I concede that you technically win due to strategic deployment of weasel words and boundless knowledge about stabbing.

I don't think we can really see well enough where she's been stabbed to judge that. And anyway her expression there seems to be more 'laughing with intense pleasure at your suffering' than anything else. Arguing that she's not really trying to kill Allison as she stabs, slashes, and throws her around while paying no mind to what few words she's able to get out seems pretty bold.

I suspect she intends to kill Allie eventually at the moment, and from a gut wound, Allie will bleed out even ignoring high risk of infection.  Right now, she's just having more fun torturing her.  There's a reason gut wounds were so nasty before modern medicine and even today without treatment; they're not quick killers, but they're slow and nasty killers. 

Which suggests that Cio may be in for a lesson on why you never toy with your victim.  At least, not while in the same lair as the dragon and his over-zealous followers who you've also previously stolen form.

Calling a statement made last week without any form of foreknowledge of today's page 'weasel words' is rather petty, don't you think?  I don't waste my time insulting you, so why do you think you should do so to me?

You were correct that C/Y decided to get on with the stabbing, I didn't actually expect that so kudos to you for the call.  I also didn't expect this to become a love-in where Allison got off scot-free, I figured a sound beating and then Cio having a sudden wake-up call moment, that isn't where Abbadon went with it and I am actually rather surprised that he took this direction.

That said, this is a story, and unless something drastic happens, such as them tumbling directly into Allison's boyfriend and the key transferring at the moment of her death (which I don't entirely rule out, but I really doubt), Allison is going to get out of this situation alive, because killing your MC is an extremely dangerous literary move.

I am extremely certain as to where that blade struck, the attack was clearly meant to maim, not to kill.

This seems like the most likely way things'll go to me. Maybe the key's power will let Allison survive her wounds, or even escape Yre to where White Chain and Nyave are waiting with C/Y's fate unknown and they can hide from Mottom while Allison recovers and learns a lesson about biting off more than you can chew.

I hope they both don't die.

That would be an interesting direction to go with, certainly not the expected outcome, which could make for very compelling narrative.

She's going to have to learn how to tap into the king key's healing abilities at some point. Sorta like how she learned the god-avatar headbutt thing, though that was with some help from Incubus.

I suspect that either the purple skinned woman or Mammon himself will intervene soon. Or at least Mammon will wonder what the ruckus is.

The one who is unlearned knows that they cannot be healed.

The one who is learned knows that they may be healed.

The one who is enlightened knows that they should not be healed.

You missed every vital organ!

I saw a comment (on the KSBD page) saying that it was an armpit grab, which it certainly does look a bit like.

RIP Allison's spleen, this is a comic about Oscar now

[Max™]

I imagine we'll see Mammon standing up/stepping on Yabalchoath and demanding an apology for stabbing anyone but him.

Heh. You know, this might not have happened had Allyson finished her tower and killed Cio.

[Tiruin]

This wouldn't have happened if Allison had any forethought But she was focused on POWER and I SUCK BEING WEAK and all that. But at least it hit her right AFTER she accepted that deal.
