"It seems we're going to need to do a bit of exploring if we want to find anything else... or we can just head on back and rejoin them at the front. That was one giant Fiend that was making it's way towards the others..."
Flicking the blood off of her daggers, Zahrah smirked at that and nodded in agreent as she leapt up to join , looking out the windows and surveying the illuminated night sky as the flas of battle grew ever brighter.
"Even from here I could feel that things power. Pretty strong; nothing they couldn't handle though! I an... damn! The power those two have at their fingertips..."
Zahrah whistled as another explosion shook the city, this one far larger than the previous ones and getting to that point where it felt like you were staring at the sun when it flashed into existence.
The rumbling that shook everything only made it worse, and so of the glass shattered from the vibrations, dropping to the ground and making a ss while also allowing the heat to billow inside, forcing us to protect ourselves with mana lest we get burnt.
"Makes wanna ask not so little Miss Empire over here if this is common back in her ho -country-?"
The two turned to after the shockwaves settled, and I raised a brow at Saif, prompting the larger woman to just shrug as she muttered "You ain't little, Miss; you're thick in all the right spots..." with just a little hunger to her tone that I was all too familiar with.
"I wouldn't say it's common, but as far as I'm aware the amount of Nobles and high leveled adventurers we have who could do probably a half of what they just did... and then all of the gear we have access to, both naturally sourced and purchased from other areas?"
Leaving it open ended and entirely up for their own interpretations, I watched the rest of the flas dissipate into the sky before coating myself in mana as I dropped out of the bank, deciding to begin going back to the front.
I had a feeling that Cali was right about how this would play out; the Fiends would all congregate at the front to take on this threat to their plan, and even if they didn't do that exactly we would still benefit from getting rid of that giant Fiend, with the potential added benefit of the others showing up too.
Saif and Zahrah leapt out after , the two chuckling slightly as we rushed towards the front while Saif asked "A little excited huh? That's kind of telling, isn't it Zahrah~?", to which the dagger wielding woman laughed before saying "I'd be doing everything to get back too if I had a hunk like that waiting for ~!"
I tried to ignore them and focus on the fact that we were going to be fighting against things that were actually born FROM the World and not born into it, but when Saif said "That makes sense after everything we heard at the camp last night~!" my cheeks turned red.
Usually this didn't bother at all, but I know just how 'bad' last night had been, especially since we were in a tent and not in an actual room; we didn't try at all to hide the noise, and Jahi seed to actually make that a point during all of her 'work' last night too.
I glanced over my shoulder and glared at them both for that, which only made Saif snicker while Zahrah shrugged and said "Girlie, everyone heard you, the Princess, our Begum AND that Demoness stud last night... all that it made us feel was that we needed so release of our own..."
She licked her lips at that before glancing at the burly woman beside her, and before I could see Saif's reaction I turned back to the front and grabbed my blade as we crossed paths with so cultists, though the suddenness made it abundantly easy to cut them down mid stride.
"Listen slut, I don't go around playing with whover wants to spread their legs for , so don't give those eyes... though maybe you can convince otherwise by the ti the day is over."
The two flirting behind were mildly distracting, especially since I was rather amused by their back and forth and rather interested in seeing if this dynamic was able to get off the ground - and because I was happy the topic had shifted away from my actions last night - though even as we encountered a new cluster of cultists milling about and hesitating to join the fight, the two Death Jackals brought that conversation back to .
Even as I severed the arm off of the cultist in front of before stabbing them through the temple, and even as Saif simply lowered her shoulder and sent the man flying into a wall with a sickening crunch the larger woman grinned at as she said "I just have to admit I'm a little curious here... are all three of them as incredibly talented inside of the bedroom as they are outside of it~?"
"I heard that the Demons were all hung like hell too! And I have a real- good feeling that our Begum isn't losing that badly either-! You lucky, lucky girl~!"
Both of them were grinning at with knowing looks, and I couldn't help myself as I blushed a little yet again as they probed for information, causing to look towards the wall and wish it would be closer to us then it was.
Even as fast as we were going we still would need a minute or so to get there comfortably and without giving ourselves up, and while I wanted to escape my embarrassnt and their questions I wasn't going to be jeopardizing us just to do so.
Which an I was stuck here with them staring at expectantly, and since it wasn't exactly information I considered to be too private... I gave them a nod, and that made Saif chuckle while Zahrah giggled a little too dentedly for my liking.
"Though I imagine that so people would say you're not 'lucky' having to take the three of them constantly, but personally~? Gods do I love that idea..."
The dagger wielding Jackalkin took a deep breath and basked in her imagination as she wore a dreamy expression, only to be snapped out of it when Saif muttered "Like I said... slut." so that she could hiss at the larger woman.
They returned to bickering after that, and we made it to the wall and scaled up its surface as we looked out over the battlefield, finding that giant Fiend wading through a sea of flas and earthen spikes while the various cultists who had followed it were trying to run around that sea to flank them.
"Look there; the second Ka Fiend is definitely that one there."
Following the pointed finger of Saif, we looked towards the destroyed entrance and found a tall, lanky red skinned creature slowly making its way forwards; unlike the other Fiend who looked like a scaled up mortal, this one was more like a monster than a mortal.
With a torso that was covered in protruding bones, a thin set of two double jointed arms propping it up with bumpy red skin that seed almost leathery even from afar, and then the long, fang filled snout that swayed side to side as it lumbered forwards with a weight that didn't match its appearance whatsoever.
"Well... yeah, that's definitely a Fiend. A hideous one, but a Fiend nonetheless. Which just ans we need to find the other two to round out the number then..."
I nodded and stared out over the battlefield, taking in the flas and studying the fortress that Anput had erected in a short amount of ti, though when I heard "Aw, that's not nice to Pecusi~! They cannot help that they are a bloodthirsty killer who only desires to spill blood-!" I spun around and swung my blade, not recognizing the speaker.
My blade collided with a thick barrier before bouncing off, and the person I swung on just stepped back with a grin as they flicked their hand and tried to blast my weapon away, which turned that grin around as they looked at it more closely.
A blue skinned scholarly woman stared at with narrowed eyes, all four of them glimring with curious intrigue as they trailed up the blade and towards my face, while her long arms were crossed beneath her abundant chest.
"Seeing a peer that has been turned into a blade is not sothing I expected today... though admittedly I didn't think anyone was going to co attack us so soon."
Her eyes flickered towards Saif and Zahrah as she waved her arms again, sending out another blast of mana as she pushed them back before they could lunge at her, which made her frown when Saif just threw herself forwards yet again, pushing through the mana.
