Chapter 1079: Chapter 1078: Bascra (5)
The needle whistled through the air almost imperceptibly, and I noticed instantly that the Fiend made no move at all to deflect or avoid it, so without much suspense at all that pinkish needle pierced through the lower back of the blue skinned Fiend and allowed me to crack the catalyst apart completely even as they hissed sharply from the pain.
It was sudden, and practically instant how they went from hissing to stiffening up, almost like they had been struck by lightning; their muscles seized while their 'expression' - at the very least, their facial muscles - slackened, and the most obvious part that let me know that my strategy had yielded incredible results was how the twin orbs of sapphire dimmed considerably within their sockets.
The Fiend was now motionless, and considering the lack of emotion in their eyes, it would seem that my frightening connection to my new magic was proven to be just as potent as I thought it would be since this powerful being we had been in the midst of fighting was no longer moving, not even as Leone's flames zoomed through the air or as Anput summoned a storm of blades and launched them at the Fiend as quickly as she could.
There was no movement even as I unsheathed my Khopesh and leapt up onto the Fiend's turned shoulders, my blade chopping at the wiry muscles that connected the feathery head to the blue skinned torso below and sending a beautiful arc of iridescent blood splattering across the sands below.
Letting out a grunt, the Fiend blinked once before furrowing its brow as it looked at me, those sapphire eyes trying to focus on me as I raised my Khopesh once more, the bluish metal shimmering with its own blood as I chopped back down just like I was trying to cut down a tree, the toothed inner crescent severing the sinews messily as I deepened the cut and revealed the interesting skeleton beneath the flesh; unsurprisingly, it seemed all of these Fiends were thoroughly color coded thanks to whatever domain they resided under, so everything was just... blue.
Blue blood, blue flesh, blue bones... all of it was blue, but it was gradually turning black as giant bolts of superheated flame crashed against the Fiend's chest, the various blades acting as pins that dissipated the heat inside of the Fiend's body to ensure it was thoroughly cooked as it just stood there, unmotivated to even preserve its life as it endured an astronomical amount of pain.
Anput joined me not even a moment later, leaving Leone alone to handle the Fiend as she continued to layer spell after spell onto the bird headed Fiend, the Vampire's arcane prowess more than enough to finish this 'fight' that we had gotten ourselves into.
The Jackalkin and I began to use our mana to tear through the sand as quickly as we could, stabbing our hands into it and shoving it to the side as we gradually dug a pit into the desert, where we were met with the radiant golden light of Jahi's mana, the Demoness feeling the lightening of the load above her and working to meet us in the middle as best she could.
As soon as her hand was freed from the desert's deadly embrace, Anput and I began to clear away the sand from the rest of her before we pulled her up and out of the ground, bringing the Demoness back into the world of the living as she hacked out the sand that had become trapped inside her lungs and shook her entire body, trying to remove the grains that had snuck past her barrier and found their way into her clothing.
"Gods be damned..! That was far too close for comfort..!"
Coughing hard, Jahi shook her head and tried to reorient herself as she looked around, doing everything to get back into the fight as quickly as she could, only to pause as she saw the Fiend writhing on the sand and smacking at its blackened body.
"What... happened up here..?"
"Kat happened~! On one hand, I want to be proud that she managed to so easily create a prototype spell that made use of the 'negative lust' people can feel, but on the other she needs to be punished for being so haphazard in deploying something like that..."
Cali appeared beside us and grinned at Jahi, the snake haired Arch Fiend capturing the Demoness' attention as she added "And I would love to be the one giving her that punishment, but sadly I would be overstepping my bounds in doing so... Instead, I think that falls to you~! Oh, and the other thing~! This little upstart was actually rather... tame... but~! And I do like butts~! There is something interesting inside that city, something that most certainly made this idiot be so hasty~! Shall we head on inside~?"
