They did not torture Ichika. Al simply carried out what she said she would do in a previous chapter.

You guys better brush up on Mesopotamian mythologies, Once you figure it out, you will know whom Lilu worship, and why. You will finally be able to put together a lot of tiny clues that now makes sense. The desert of the wind being crucial. When Aria explains about her god, and if you recall how she dated her birthday, you can pretty much guess that she is 90% a Sumerian. If you recall, when Ichika was told by Aria how old she is, Show drew a lot of religious item in time reverse order to represent different location. The oldest item is a Sumarian statue. It is now even possible that we can find her hometown thanks to archeology. One of the enjoying part of Vampeerz is that Show really did some serious history research.

I wonder if the lilus all left for the mountains when Elam sacked Ur (Aria's birthdate?), or when Elamites in turn were kicked out by Ishbi-Erra.(Aria's turn date?) Aria probably is a war orphan. That fact in itself explains why Aria adopted Al, because "This child is the same as me".

My educated guess is Aria was from Nippur if she was not from Ur.

Ohhh damn thank god plus never saw any manga like this one like the history stuffs are so accurate

Thing about this author you don't really know what to expect where they will go with things. Maybe Aria will pull a last second save with her power or maybe she will be fed the blood. The way the author you just can't be sure unlike many other series.

I think it's possible Ichika was unaffected by the magic since she can still talk and thus she'll be able to hit the magical instrument and dispell it.

Pretty impressive plan, even if as horribly evil as expected.

At this point I really can't wait to see the midget vampire die. And to see our two girls finally bang.

Which is a great thing. It's also not just that the author can go either way because they're unpredictable. It's that the story and themes are set up such that there's many different types of endings that would satisfy what's been built up. That takes some skill to setup.

Correct me if im wrong but isn’t it like a 60% chance at becoming a ghost? So despite blood of 2 vampires there’s still a chance she just turns into a regular vampire? Or am I wrong?

I can't recall if we know the exact odds, just that it's more likely to turn into a vampire if you're near death. From what they mentioned, it seems a lot less likely than 40% under normal circumstances. Let's assume there's a 10% chance to become a vampire from drinking the blood of one, drinking from two would drop it to 1% if the logic is that the human has to be compatible with both at once.

Yeah the implication seems to be that becoming a dead ghost is a certainty with two (under normal circumstances). They don't talk like they think there's another possible outcome.

So theoretically 2 could make it work or make it even more dangerous. Big baddie seems to not know either with her saying “what do you think might happen,” maybe she doesn’t even know. She’s already killed a vampire with the sword and like made out with aria so many times, who knows, maybe she’s half immune lol I dunno.

Anywho I kinda think she’s gonna be turned, like there’s no current way to avoid it unless aria just sacrifices herself.

This story is so much better than it has any right to be

(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻ This bitch
Sign gonna ready my sniper I ma shoot their ass
(╬ಠ益ಠ)

holy shit,hooly shitt.hoooooollllly shiiiiiiit!! cliffhanger at it's finest. it's either someone will interrupt them and save ichika or ichika will turn into a vampire, I don't want to think she will die or turn into a ghost because imma gonna throw hands.

Hmm Aria changed into a school girl outfit at the last page? Am I missing this reference, what is going on

I gotta be real y'all I ain't got any fuckin clue what's going on anymore

Hmm Aria changed into a school girl outfit at the last page? Am I missing this reference, what is going on

The scenery is a reference to this scene: https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/vampeerz_ch24_5#18 which was when Aria told Ichika's grandma that she wanted to die. I interpret the scene in the latest chapter as Aria's mind going back to that state at the thought Ichika might turn into a dead ghost, now that she's found a place to belong by Ichika's side (hence the outfit).

Why not just kill her?

Why not just kill her?

Too quick. Too final. She wants lasting suffering. A dead ghost is worse.

Why not just kill her?

That would be too easy death like ichika will suffer for some secs from blood loss and the end...but
She wants aria to suffer more and the only way is ichika since Aria loves her and all so if Al makes ichika a dead ghost ichika will go crazy and lose her mind like a mad person and like she would be in pain like her hunger wont be satisfied and she cant even die peacefully until some treasure sword hunter kills her. Ichika will endlessly suffer and that will make aria suffer as the love of her life would be in so much pain or go insane

Ichika's pain = aria suffers

If Aria can get to see Enil and ask for a wish, Ichika will be saved even as dead ghost. Al cannot do anything in the desert because her nature is evil. Why did Amir give the relic to Shadi and Khara?
Who was the cat???

Amir only gave them the amulet so they could talk to his contact in Instanbul, he most likely didn't know what it could be used for. When they go there, they see one of Al Kamil's henchmen and Khara gets suspicious. Al Kamil got cursed into the cat form when Aria succeeded Shin as the head of the lilu and got the king's power, reread the previous chapter. Then she found a chance to enter the holy ground in Instanbul by stealing Shadi's amulet and she got turned back by Aria who was out of control. That was also when Shadi was cursed into the crow form.

....so how long was aria like that...like in that form ...cause Al told that it took her centuries to return in her original form

Let's see...
Aria got the power and cursed Al Kamil in the early 1700s (https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/vampeerz_ch42_5#14)
Khara and Shadi met around the year 1837 (https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/vampeerz_ch29#24)
They went to the Ottoman Empire a few days later (https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/vampeerz_ch33#2) and Al Kamil managed to be turned back.
Aria didn't remain in that form for some 120+ years. She says she only used her power that one time (https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/vampeerz_ch42_5#27) then tells Shadi she doesn't know if she was the one who turned her into a crow. Al Kamil was able to activate the power inside Aria on her own by fulfilling the three necessary conditions of a time, a place and a relic (https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/vampeerz_ch43#5).

While we're at it:
Khara met Aria in 1862 (https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/vampeerz_ch36#7)
Jirou met Aria in 1885 (https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/vampeerz_ch36#12)
Maoa met Aria at the end of the 1800s (https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/vampeerz_ch36#18)
Sakuya met Aria in 1923 (https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/vampeerz_ch37#11)
I don't think it was specified when Arthur met Aria.

I mean, we should probably factor in that Al likely made half of that stuff up to screw with Aria.
