As I tilted my head to the side to avoid the blood blade that streaked towards , the Fiend continued to press down even as Anput's blade sang towards her back, leaving herself seemingly undefended.
That swift burst of hot pain as the blood blade sliced into my cheek was bearable as I stared into the Fiend's eyes and hissed "Gonna have to do better than that Fiend!", though as Anput's attack was blocked the Fiend hissed back "Oh I will..."
Suddenly she retreated from , yanking her blade back and attempting to pull forwards as the blood that had latched onto my shield pulled away alongside her, dragging forwards a step and making it hard to prepare for the blood blade that had flipped back around and was coming for my head again.
So I leaned into that pull and fell forwards, my shield falling straight onto the Fiend's body as I managed to catch her as I threw myself forwards to dodge the blade behind , planting us both on the ground and ensuring that this Fiend was stuck beneath .
Her spell whizzed overhead before spinning to fly towards Anput next, but the Jackalkin was treating this like practice now as she parried it continuously, going back to back with the swinging of her longsword as she batted the spell away continuously.
Pressing the Fiend beneath , I grinned at her and pressed more of my weight against the shield, pinning her and finding her arm as I grabbed for her katana, ensuring that it wasn't able to be used as I said "This is your better-?"
She spat at before growling "You don't even know the full depths of my power!", which made raise a brow before I slamd my head against hers, the sickening crunch followed by a sharp cry of agony from the Fiend making my grin widen as I stared down at her.
The blood that she had used from her brother was seeping into the cracked tiles below, going back to its normal liquid form and losing its magical touch as her concentration was broken; before she could say anything again I head butted her for a second ti, opening a gash on her forehead and eliciting another cry as her head slamd back into the ground.
A dull pain slowly spread behind my own brow, and I could feel my own blood trickling down my nose as I continued to loom above her, each second slowly dragging out as we stared at one another, before the Fiend tried to hiss sothing at .
Her red eyes were afla with anger and sha as she was trapped beneath , and I felt a surge of pride and sothing else as I stared down at her, though when her lips moved again I just repeated the sa thing that had gotten her to shut up the first ti: slamming my head into hers and ensuring we were both in pain.
Now that the blood had lost its magic, Anput was freed from her little dance and was able to go and pick up the head of the other Fiend, holding it with a smirk as she approached us and dangled it above the prone Fiend.
"Wanna say goodbye before you die~?"
I could hear the Fiend grinding her teeth as she glared hatefully at Anput and I, and after another second she managed to spit "Burn in hell!" before I just bashed her again, this ti catching her wrist too as I gave it a twist and snapped the bones, making her scream again.
"I'll say that was a goodbye~! Have fun~!"
Behind the crunch of bone being crushed followed by the wet sound of those shards dropping onto the ground below filled my ears, and I shivered slightly as I realized it was a nice sound to hear, sothing that made wonder if Kat was rubbing off on too much.
Sothing that was definitely rubbing off on was the thrill of superiority that ca with being stronger than soone else, sothing I had been around my entire life; looking down at the Fiend, I shuddered again as I felt a heat blossom within the pit of my stomach, slowly spreading downwards and causing both Anput and the Fiend to stare at in confusion. "Y-You..! NO!"
Writhing around, the Fiend tried to escape from , but I was both too heavy for her and she was too weak at this point as her addled mind was further thrown into disarray, though when Anput hissed "Jahi..." I took a deep breath and tried to forget about the swift, dangerously addicting thought that had just flashed through my mind.
What would it be like to take this Fiend for myself, sothing that few people could claim to do?
Would it feel better than what I was used to, or would the thrill of being able to conquer a Fiend like this make all the more hungry for all sorts of things..?
That heat was distracting, and after a few seconds I wondered what would happen if I did stake a claim to this Fiend, only to have Anput's blade whistle just past my cheek and sink into the Fiend's skull, killing her before I had the chance to wonder anymore.
Anput had even nicked my cheek too to ensure I understood she wasn't playing around, so I gently and slowly pushed myself off of the Fiend's corpse to stand beside her, still uncomfortably hard as I attempted to clear my mind.
"Well that was fascinating~! Such a juicy~ piece of at waiting to be devoured and you simply gave it up~? Hmm... you mortals aren't as base as I rember! Many would have taken her prisoner and used her for themselves... I would have too~!"
Soone tried to grab Anput and I from behind, but we both spun around and attacked them, my Jackalkin's blade seeking a new target while I bashed with my shield, only for our attacks to sink into a pink mist that cushioned their power.
Clutching my blade, I funneled my mana into it and stared at the pink skinned Fiend for a few seconds before I stabbed through the mist with my golden blade, cutting through the mist and surprising the Fiend as my dual tal blade sunk into its belly.
