"Well... when you said to that you wanted to go out and take this thing for a spin and test it out, I don't think I was imagining this, Kat..."
Jahi leaned against the wall and raised a brow at as we listened to the distant shouting and clattering of arrows against the stone around us, each piece of tal - and sotis even bone - shattering against the wall we hid behind and the ground we stood on.
"What? Is this not a good place to test these things out right now? We're giving the Sultana so aid, making the search a little easier, and we get to have so fun together as well! Later, anyways; for now I think I'll have more fun playing around with these idiots than I would if we went at it right now!"
The Demoness raised that brow even higher as she gave a one over, her athyst eyes narrowing slightly in suspicion as she asked "What have you done with my Kat?", making chuckle as I reached over and caressed her arm, soothing the Demoness' wounded pride so as I continued to ignore the various imbeciles we had promised to hunt down.
"Nothing at all, my love... You just need to understand that right now, I am far more fascinated and focused on these breakthroughs of mine then I am in having sex again; we've been going at it a lot more than usual now, and you've been pretty... needy too, so... This is a perfect change of pace for ~!"
She let out a huff and hoisted the heavy tower shield Anput had made for her, the unique design idea of turning the Fiend's ribcage into an actual shield resulting in a breathtakingly gothic shield that suited the Demoness quite well, especially since it was a perfect shade of sapphire.
The silvery tal that was plated beneath the ribs to form the bulk of the shield reflected light perfectly, and each of the bones was a bastion of potent mana waiting to be unleashed onto whover Jahi hit with the shield, while also being an incredible defense against magic since it took quite a heavy hitting spell to breach the natural barrier it emitted.
"Besides, you were itching to put this thing to the test too, weren't you? This giant shield made from a Fiend! It matches your Imperial Gold and Stygian Silver Greatsword quite well, does it not?"
She grunted at that and looked at from the corner of her eye as she murmured "I guess...", the Demoness clearly sulking at my admission that I wasn't currently entrenched in my lust like I have been many tis before, but that didn't stop her from taking a deep breath and cloaking herself in a blanket of Light Mana as she turned the corner and captured the attention of the various low level mbers of the Fingers that we had located.
Her armor hadn't been upgraded in a little bit now, but what she had was more than enough as she faced against weak and pitiful mortals who it felt like were flailing around with blunted sticks instead of tempered steel; it was just another reminder that sleeping, eating and breathing training really did place soone above the common riffraff who needed to split their energy amongst a myriad of things.
The skill they exhibited, the lowly talent that hadn't even been fully realized, the pathetic excuse of a Core that they had throbbing beside their pounding hearts as they watched a towering Demoness slowly walk towards them with a shield made from bone raised in their direction... it was probably horrifying to them, like so monster raised from hell coming to claim their souls.
For , it was a mildly amusing observation that I made as I unsheathed the first of my two new weapons, allowing my mana to flow overtop the short, jagged blade as I cloaked myself in mana and leapt atop the wall, landing on the awning of a nearby building and allowing to begin moving silently from our position to theirs.
Anput had made sothing rather nuanced in the best way possible, the style of the blade allowing to be as grueso as I wanted or as elegant as I wanted since the blade itself was both sleek and primitive, the bone's influence on her decision making being rather clear with how it looked.
It was just what I wanted from these newer weapons though, and as I ran my mana through the dual enchantnt I had placed on its surface, I was even happier than before as I watched the helix of mana begin to coalesce around the blade.
One strand was a dark, oceanic blue and the other was a vibrant green, representing my two elents and creating a visual of how I had originally awakened the Ice Mana that had laid dormant in my Core in the beginning of my life in this world.
They weeped mana back down onto the blade and mixed them into an icy coating that allowed to have access to all three elents all at the sa ti, turning this already deadly weapon into sothing that was just brimming with killing potential as I made it into a pseudo status caster.
The Wind Mana had been placed into a forceful blast enchantnt that covered my dium range perfectly, while the Water Mana was placed into a swift current that turned the blade into a saw to chew through armor with ease.
I could also just shoot the strands out individually, which I was likely going to do more often than I had initially realized as I began my journey over to the compound that the Fingers had taken over for themselves.
With their attention solely placed onto Jahi, I was able to silently leap from rooftop to balcony as I infiltrated their base without any of them noticing, making the most of my lover's extrely high profile stature and allowing to begin my work in peace and quiet. The shouts were irritating as I listened to them order one another to retrieve or hide various things, and I watched as a woman rushed towards the door with a gigantic ballista bolt that she placed onto - surprise - a ballista that she had rolled out soti before, realizing that I had my first target.
Since they had taken over a bank, the wide open floor plan and gigantic windows made it pretty easy to find my targets and figure out who would notice her dropping first, the two dozen so odd mortals focused on their defense of this position from the outside that none of them seed to even consider watching their backs.
That ballista was my priority right now, but as soon as she had fallen I was going to have so much fun rushing from counter to counter as I cut down these cultists, and I was going to make use of my new toys and new skills to do so, turning this into a very useful and pleasureful session of murder~!
With my scent, sound and body concealed behind them, I raised the short sword and pointed it at the woman loading that ballista, guiding the strands to the tip of my blade and 'shooting' them towards her back, twin bolts of potent elental mana zipping through the air with a low whistle and burrowing into her armor.
Since both of my magics were adept at penetration, it was no surprise that I could easily work through so average steel plate, and the result of my training was given a beautiful flair as her chest exploded onto the giant mounted crossbow, two large holes almost severing her in
two.
Her spine was shattered by the burst of wind that tore open her torso, and the snap was audible as she slumped forwards and laid across her ballista, unable to comprehend how she had died so quickly and so boringly after everything she had done in her pathetic life.
It took a few seconds for soone to notice that she had died, but by that point I had already begun to silently work my way towards the front of the bank, my short sword tasting blood for the first ti ever as I lunged towards anyone I could and ruthlessly soaked it in vitae, giving it a proper christening as one of my weapons.
Sinking it into the back of a muscular, shirtless man, I severed his spine and twisted the blade as I clasped a hand over his mouth, concealing his cries of agony and grinning at him as I gently lowered him to the floor, maintaining my few seconds of advantage for as long as I
could.
A thin red line appeared across his neck as I removed my hand, the Wind Mana coating my body slicing into his throat and finishing him off as I leapt towards my next target, catching another man off guard as he transported a giant crate of coins and papers towards the side of
the bank.
