"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 agreement as she leapt up to join me, looking out the windows and surveying the illuminated night sky as the flames of battle grew ever brighter.
"Even from here I could feel that things power. Pretty strong; nothing they couldn't handle though! I mean... 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 some of the glass shattered from the vibrations, dropping to the ground and making a mess while also allowing the heat to billow inside, forcing us to protect ourselves with mana lest we get burnt.
"Makes me wanna ask not so little Miss Empire over here if this is common back in her home -country-?"
The two turned to me 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 flames 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.
"Though I imagine that some people would say you're not 'lucky' having to take the three of them constantly, but me 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 flames 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 seemed 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 means we need to find the other two to round out the number then..."
I nodded and stared out over the battlefield, taking in the flames and studying the fortress that Anput had erected in a short amount of time, 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 me with narrowed eyes, all four of them glimmering 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 something I expected today... though admittedly I didn't think anyone was going to come 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.
