My Servant System

Chapter 1175: Chapter 1174: Final Battle (7)



The killing almost became mindless after the Fiends were dealt with one by one; when the monsters fell and there was enough breathing room for Leone and I to trade off the

responsibility whenever we could, we took potshots at the four Fiends that were attacking the Sultana to give her aid.

Whether or not she actually had need of our aid was a different story, but on my part I was being selfish in my help since I would get experience for the assists on those Fiends, and it never hurt to be safe rather than sorry in something as important and deadly as a battle against some Fiends.

Besides, if anything happened to her I didn't even want to begin thinking about how distraught Anput might become, so I used needles made from ice to hinder their movements wherever I could, tapering the projectiles and ensuring they sunk into the Fiend's flesh to spread the frost as much as possible.

It was a skill that I had come to rely heavily on for anything with a large amount of vitality, and it was yet another thing that I needed to put some effort into improving even more by incorporating it directly into my spells, but for now I just shot dozens, if not hundreds of needles into the Fiends, chipping away at their health and mobility whenever I had the opening to do so.

With Anput and Jahi working alongside Saif and Zahrah, Leone and I were well protected as we gave them aid with our magic, the idea of holding back leaving our minds now that some Fiends had made an early appearance, with the specific targets becoming the various cultists that were still lingering around as we disrupted the control they had over these abducted monsters.

The swiftness with which they were dispatched was rather fascinating, since the strength they seemed to possess simply didn't matter when met with the constant bombardment around them and the unknowing threat of any of our soldiers filling them with caution that halted their momentum.

No more cultists dropped onto the battlefield, leaving us to clean up what we had and ensuring we were able to make the next step of this battle now that the walls were slowly being torn down by the bombardment, revealing the city within and letting us know early that the cultists were waiting for us to come to them.

They stood in rows within the city, brandishing their weapons and watching us silently as we dealt with the monsters they had brought forwards as a weapon against us, each of the cultists studying the standing military force of this country and likely praying to their Fiendish friends to be able to come out of this victorious.

For now though we needed to get there, and to do that we still had hundreds of monsters to slay; it didn't take long, but the energy and mana expended was exactly what those cultists wanted from this as we were forced to pick between saving potions for later or use them for now.

It was a chore to kill these monsters for everyone else, but the more the experience rained in on my System to slowly bolster me to the next level, the longer I wanted to be here, especially after the terrified scream came from the first of the four Fiends attacking the Sultana.

Watching Anput's Mom rip the head off of the bold Ka Fiend that had been trying to claw at her this entire time was quite the sight; it's skull - a crown of thorns poking through greasy golden locks that gave it a demented appearance – was yanked upwards as she pulled its skull off of its body and ripped out its spine, killing the Fiend instantly.

With that long 'weapon' gained, the Sultana kicked away the Fiend's body and grasped the bottom of its spine, swinging the head around like a mace and smacking one of the other Fiends with it, pushing them back and allowing her to focus on just two instead of three.

Swinging it again, she let go of the spine and sent the head flying straight at one of those two, forcing them to dodge this rather barbaric attack and freeing her up even more as she blitzed the remaining Fiend, catching the shorter, sickly thin blue skinned Fiend off guard and allowing her to skewer them with her scimitars.

Both of the blades ripped through the Fiend's flesh and allowed her to lift them up before ripping them in half, showering the nearby area in an absurd amount of gore as the Sultana continued to display her brutal strength that resided beneath her compact, lithe frame.

It took us the same time to kill a Fiend but she managed to continue rolling the pressure even further downhill as she steamrolled through the second, bringing the fight down to a two versus one, which was far more manageable for the Sultana.

The other Death Jackals had also managed to take care of most of the Fiends as well, leaving us with just the monsters as we listened to the murmuring that drifted through the air from the city in front of us, the cultists inside watching their incredible, non mortal comrades be killed systemically.

It didn't matter that these were overpowered creatures hopped up on special World Magic or whatever, since there was nothing they could do in the face of multiple strong opponents, overlapping zones of battle and the sheer tenacity and fury of a people wanting to cleanse their homeland of this filth.

With the knowledge that I had a plethora of potions dangling on my hip and even more waiting in crates behind us, I went ahead and brought out some heavy hitting magic as I took control of this section of the battlefield, whipping up a deadly gale as I buffeted the monsters with heavy winds while using them to increase the speed of my icicles.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

That boost allowed them to pierce through Drake scales, Sphinx mana enhanced hide, and even stone bricks as I made short work of everything over here now that I had the time to chain those spells together without worrying about something pushing through our defenses.
