When they steal the piece of silver a few pages back, she plugs 4 priests in the head with it in quick succession. She's quite good with it, but you can only do so much with six shots against a horde of fanatical priests.

Do these kills count toward the demon death meter?

Not to take anything anyway from Allison's accomplishments, but hitting six billion seems less impressive if you're just grinding to the quota in endless mode.

Contrary to many opinions, accountants aren't actually demons.

I saw that too and was kinda confused if it was a trap like the one that killed 1-11 or something else because it looks so different (yet the same?).

Also wondering why chainsaw staves or whatever the gently caress they are are so drat popular with the count. Would have expected some crazy abacus spears or calculator black rifles or something along those lines.

I agree, anyone who doesn't hit double digits shouldn't even be allowed to run a bank.

Actually wait a sec, the lady with the halo doesn't have one... just a piece of silver like Mammon used to have his family murdered...

Also the guy whose head they twisted off was counting 146 so he was probably pretty badass before he walked into the wrong hallway.

Maybe it’s a kill debt count - how many more dead bodies you owe to Mammon.

Consider that not all kills are equal.

That kill may have been an emissary or some kind of hero.

I'm guessing that all Mammon's hench folk are individually numbered, with lower numbers constituting more value.

Most of the people guarding the invisible maze have numbers three digits or less, which probably represents them being highly trusted. No one higher than 1000 is probably permitted to be that far in his sanctuary.

The woman who represented him in the meeting of the demiurges doesn't have any number at all, which probably makes her top dog under Mammon.

Perhaps kills are awarded style points, and this particular kill was just super fukkin' juicy.

The lesser priests wield their chainsaw pikes hoping in vain get a kill as sweet as this. Nothing in the universe has value except what matters to Mammon, and what matters to Mammon is Warhammer figurines. Hence why he needs all that money.

Per Abbadon, some demiurges have a lot of emissaries and some only have a few so I wonder how powerful #1 and how Alison will deal with her.

The numbers are serial numbers, each Priest of the Count is also a one-Priest note in Mammon's official currency. They're inconvenient to carry but successful counterfeiting is almost unheard of

Lower numbers = more value is probably correct, but ol' Yab managed to murk a few scrub priests in the Vault itself:

Possibly nws, dudes with real high numbers getting torn up by Cio in a former life:

With that background, and the scrub priests, probably part of the external areas, perhaps golden mimic storage.

Probably their rank/debt to Mammon in whatever currency their cult uses. They do make a big deal of how Mammon has shed all of his debts, including abstract stuff like family bonds.
