My Servant System

Chapter 1174: Chapter 1173: Final Battle (6)



With its new liquid form the Fiend simply washed over Jahi's shield and reformed itself between her arms, the crimson fluid smoothly coming together to create the shape of a humanoid, though all of our focus were on the red and gold arms that were stabbing towards Jahi's chest.

A flash of golden light mixed with the cyan explosion as another of my discs sailed into the globule mass that was supposed to be the Fiend's head; Jahi defended herself from the blades, but they still punched through her Mana Cloak, her armor and then into her ribcage, though it was thankfully only an inch or so of the Fiend's blades.

The disc exploded again, but this time it was inside of the blood of the Fiend as I sent the liquid flying everywhere, coated in frost and some of it being crystalized completely as its head, neck and some of its torso were blown away.

Our Fiendish opponent still yanked its blades free and tried to leap backwards, but before it could do so Jahi surged forwards and swung her blade as hard as she could, Light Mana surging across her sword and leaving behind a glittering trail of mana as it cut through the blood of the Fiend.

At first the Fiend repeated its earlier action and separated itself, avoiding the attack before reforming and trying to come back and attack, but that glittering trail of mana wasn't just an afterimage that didn't hold any substance.

It was a real, delayed attack of Light Mana that cut through the Fiend with ease, eliciting an ear piercing screech as it was suddenly burnt up and dealt yet another wound, one that I added to as another disc sunk into its upper chest and exploded yet again.

Jahi didn't let up as she swung her blade again and again, cutting through the blood and causing large globs of it to drop to the ground and splash against the sand like it was supposed to, only for some of the droplets to float back up in an attempt to heal this unique Fiend.

Before I could throw one of the final discs I had at it once more, or even just freeze the blood and turn it into crystals that wouldn't be usable by the Fiend - as seen by the previous chunks of blood I had frozen still lying on the ground uselessly - it was instead Leone who did something, and it was a tad surprising.

The Vampire's fingers were shrouded by swirling crimson mana that - at first glance - seemed to be only her Fire Mana with its unique potency and coloration, but considering I could smell the metallic tang I was all too familiar with trickling off of her in waves, it was clear it wasn't her elemental mana.

It was her innate mana, one that she rarely used before these recent times, but seeing her curl her fingers upwards before pressing them together was rather fascinating, the difference in our more structured and logical magic system to this more 'traditional' magic that I had been anticipating was amazing to see.

The blood of the Fiend was suddenly meeting one of the few things that could harm it and another that could fight for dominion over it, threatening to control its blood despite it being it's own body; Leone was holding the Fiend in place and slowing its regeneration down to a crawl.

That allowed Jahi to continue to hack away at the blood until it was boiled up completely, that screech growing louder as the Fiend fought for control of itself so that it could defend against the onslaught of Light Mana that was tearing away at it piece by piece.

And yet it was impossible for the Fiend to fight this sluggish battle, especially when Jahi was swinging her blade with prejudice as she removed the Fiend from the battlefield, the slight of being injured by it pissing her off enough to fuel a swift exit for the blood creature before us.

When the notification popped up in my mind about its demise, the Demoness finally relented when she felt the confirmation from me that the sudden drop of structure in that blood creature did in fact mean it was dead, but even then she still compressed a small ball of Light Mana and burnt up the rest of the blood below her out of pettiness.

The wounds were already healing well on Jahi's chest, which I checked as I pulled the Demoness back a step and allowed Saif and Zarhrah to take her spot for now, though the second she felt my hands send a pulse of mana into her to heal everything up she lunged right back into the fray and returned to pushing the monsters back.

With the sudden loss of one of the Fiends on this line, some of the cultists nearby began to backpedal just in case, putting distance between us and them as they focused on other parts of the line, while we switched our long ranged focus towards aiding the Sultana, who was a blur of silver and black.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The towering Jackalkin warrior flickered around the battlefield she had set and fought against four Fiends at once, using her strength and speed to keep them all on their toes so that the rest of us could handle the remaining Fiends.

Her Death Jackals fought hard against the Fiends on their side of the line, and with the pressure lifted from us somewhat Leone and I both returned to our area of effect spells, casting them back to back as we cleared swathes of monsters and allowed our portion of the line to move forwards, bringing ourselves to bear against the flank of the monsters.

Pressed between two fronts now, the various monsters were slowly brought down as well, all while the walls continued to be torn apart by the artillery barrage of the mages behind us, this battle going from quiet to explosive in mere seconds as more and more spells landed near the city.
