My Servant System

Chapter 1180: Chapter 1179: Tests of Power (5)



Hoisting myself up onto the stage, I grabbed the ankle of one of the archers and yanked them down, tossing them to the ground and allowing Anput to stab them in the throat before she leapt up beside me, joining me as we began to clear away the archers to give Jahi a clear pathway towards the Fiend enhanced magician standing in the center of this platform.

Their magic was still flowing freely as they tried to attack us, even going as far as to tear apart the bodies of their guards as Anput and I took meat shields the second we stood up, and while it was rapid fire magic that threatened to tear through our armor like a hot knife through butter, the distance between us wasn't that far.

Beneficial for both parties, but at the exact moment that Jahi appeared on the platform the magician had no idea who to target or what they needed to do, which made it all too easy for the Demoness to sprint straight at them while Anput and I launched a swift ranged attack at them before we took down the rest of the archers.

Having a towering eight foot tall, armor clad Demoness running straight for you with a shield and blade taller than you was probably more frightening than most monsters especially since the magical power radiating off of her was far stronger than most things you would ever feel.

Plus the golden glow around an otherwise terrifying thing created such a perfect dichotomy that made my big blue hunk all the sexier in my eyes, even more so when her eyes were a brilliant and cold gold that promised nothing more than violence.

Even more so when she stabbed the mage in the chest with her blade before grabbing their head and squeezing it as hard as possible, shattering their skull and killing them instantly before retrieving her blade and blocking an arrow that whistled towards her throat.

Unlike the other arrows this one splintered into various other, smaller projectiles that continued to seek her out, but none of them had the power to penetrate her armor, so Jahi just pinpointed the attacker and found a blue skinned Aviankin wielding a bow up in the air, who sent out another arrow.

This one was a pearlescent silver that released a powder as it flew through the air, exploding into even more powder the moment it came into contact with Jahi's shield; it left no mark besides that silvery powder, and I wasn't going to entertain the curious powder whatsoever as I whipped up a gale and blew the powder back towards the Fiendish Aviankin.

A new crimson arrow appeared on the Fiend's drawstring instantly after it shot that silver arrow, but by the time it released the crimson arrow the powder was already swirling through the air back at it, and it became apparent what that powder was for; as the new arrow sliced through the air and arched down towards Jahi, it ignited that powder and caused it to explode, and since it was so close to the Fiend...

Well, their wings were singed and they were blasted backwards a few feet, putting them off balance and inviting attacks upon themself that they weren't ready to defend against; Jahi's shield took the flaming arrow easily while her other hand shone with harsh golden light as she stabbed her blade into the air straight at the Fiend.

A copy of her blade shot through the air and streaked straight towards the Fiend, who barely recovered in time to see a golden sword inches away from their face; with a startled cry a shield of that all too familiar iridescent mana appeared before them, and the blade crashed against it with a boom.

The Demoness sent another one even as the first cracked some of the Fiend's shield, but before the shield broke and before Jahi could go through the small yet deadly arsenal of spells she had another Fiend joined the fray, this one crashing down onto our platform and almost breaking the wood completely.

A Nua Fiend stole our attention away from the Tza Fiend in the sky, and even if we wanted to ignore it the stench that rolled off of its greasy, fat form was more than enough of an assault to warrant defending ourselves.

Jahi once more acted first and moved with swift purpose as she charged the Fiend, though this time Saif rushed beside her wielding her giant cleaver as she aided the Demoness, leaving Anput and I to act in support of them.

The Jackalkin beside me swiftly erected a metal half dome around us that blocked the Tza Fiend's shots for the moment while I redirected my winds to hasten the two warriors, blowing them towards the Fiend and giving them more speed to turn into more power.

Their heavy blades and their larger mass were given an extra bump by my wind, and as they empowered themselves even more with a quick, raw cast of a Mana Cloak they descended upon the fat Nua Fiend with a vengeance, slicing into its soft body.

Green flesh was torn apart allowing sickly, disgustingly thick gobs of dark crimson blood to splash on the ground, mixing with yellowish pus to create a concoction that actually managed to chew through the wood below.

Even with the winds blowing the stench away I could still smell the sickly sweet smell of rot and decay wafting through the air towards us, and the Fiend was unbothered by the two giant gashes across its chest as it simply walked into them, raising its flabby arms and reaching for its two attackers.

When Jahi flushed her Light Mana into its wound however the Fiend growled in anger as the cut stopped festering, the blood and pus that leaked out of it no longer laden with disease as her magic actually cleansed the area somewhat, while Saif just blasted a chunk of its body away so that she could leap backwards to try again.
