"Well... that was hot."
Giving Leone a small smirk, I stepped up to stand beside the Vampire as we overlooked the remaining Fiends, our eyes landing on a dozen or so that were in our imdiate vicinity; the intriguing thing about that was so of the Fiends were killing indiscriminately, aiding us while going against us at the sa ti.
Those Fiends tended to be the violent Ka Fiends, but the amount of Tza Fiends that were 'accidentally' using wide area of effect spells that severely injured or killed their cultists, while the Nua Fiends were just wandering around using their mixed attacks to deal death to whover was closest to them.
Even still, after what I had gone through and the swiftness with which we dealt with this Fiend, I wanted this mont of decompression by teasing my Vampire Princess, to cool down and readjust myself ntally from the tightly strung anxiety to a more collected state that would do good in any battle going forwards.
Too much seriousness in these last few minutes that wore at my mind, so I teased Leone and got a slightly irritated smile back from her as she said "Now's not the ti, Kat... but thanks...", which only made smile more before we both turned to watch as a Fiend skidded to a halt right behind us.
It was another bulky mishmash of man and animal slapped together with a red coat of paint and so golden accents but we didn't have much ti to understand its appearance since it was promptly slashed in half before it fell onto a bed of earthen spikes that tore into its flesh, keeping it on the ground.
"Hey hot stuff, wanna help real quick~?"
Anput grinned at Leone and gestured at the two separate slabs of at resting on the spikes, bringing our attention towards the Fiend trying to stand up from being bisected so that it could regenerate and resu battling with the Jackalkin standing above it.
It was even trying to speak, but with its head now being in two separate parts and no longer having a completely enclosed mouth, all it was doing was making random grunts that made raise a brow at how idiotic it seed to be.
"This prick kept trying to regenerate on , so I got a little~ bit pissed~! So help out here, oh glorious and sexy Princess~!"
I held back a snort as I looked away from Leone, who had let out a strangled noise as she seemingly choked on nothing at that, which only made Anput giggle and say "Aw, you're so~ adorable when you get flustered~! Makes it so simple for to have so fun~!"
"A-Anput!"
Hissing at the Jackalkin, Leone bared her fangs a little at the Jackalkin before blushing again when Anput did the sa, not backing down at all and instead doubling down on that as she waited for Leone to do what she asked, which she did after another second of glaring and blushing.
Flas ignited around her hands before landing on the red at below, swirling around each of the earthen spikes and burrowing into the flesh of the Fiend, with Anput converting the rock into tal so that the heat was spread more efficiently, searing the flesh thoroughly.
"Good-girl-! Thanks for that~! I'll pay you back later~!"
I peeked at Leone as the Vampire Princess went completely crimson, her eyes smoldering again as she glared at the departing Jackalkin after they had both ensured the Fiend was dead, and as if she sensed my gaze she hissed "Not a word...", which only made grin before I hid that from her as I nodded seriously.
Jahi Pov
"I'm back~!"
Even as I was locked in the deadly dance of combat with a four ard insectoid Fiend of so kind, Anput seed as cheery as always as she leapt above and landed on the Fiend's head, her long blade sinking deep into its torso and causing it to let out a chittering cry of pain as it released my shield.
Doing so allowed to funnel so mana into the shield's surface and bash the Fiend in the chest, and Anput leapt free of it before that happened, landing a few feet away and springing right back up as she rushed over to to continue helping.
Smashing my shield into the Fiend's face, I pushed them back again and gave myself the space and ti I needed to raise my sword up high and swing it down into the Fiend's skull, all while my Jackalkin lover leapt forwards and aid as she sliced through the Fiend's back and severed its spine.
It was an easy kill when working together, and it only further deluded on what these Fiends were supposed to be like as we continued to put them down with ease, so the more it happened the more I had to wonder if a majority of the Fiends were actually weak, or if we were just getting 'lucky'.
"Kat's back and she seems alright; no injury or damage of any kind, so that's good. Now whether or not she can be considered completely alright is a different story without knowing what happened, but I imagine all we need to do is thoroughly~ remind her how much we love her tonight~!"
"That's... comforting. The day isn't over just yet though, Anput, so don't lower your guard. I refuse to have you risk yourself by becoming complacent."
She just grinned at and flicked the blood off of her blade even as she covered her leg in tal Mana and stomped down onto the Fiend's skull, ending it completely before saying "I know, I know~! I'm having so much fun though testing this beauty out~!"
Showing her sword, the blacksmith bounced from foot to foot as she waved it around elegantly, giving a mont to take a break as I caught my breath and stabilized my mind, sothing that made stare at her for a few monts as I wondered if that was her goal.
Only to roll my eyes when she bounced towards and blew a kiss with a wink, the little minx continuing to bounce away as she made her way towards another unlucky Fiend, causing to follow behind her as I ensured she would be safe.
