My Servant System



Our bolts of mana exploded in the air, painting the sky violet as Adelina's Fire Mana mixed with my Ice Mana, hopefully alerting the others that there was something happening at the center of the city.

The deep blue portal whirled to life above the Cultists heads, spinning faster and faster as more mana was funneled into the gateway that connected Arbo City to somewhere else, somewhere that these Cultists had stored away reinforcements of some kind.

Anput was a blur of silver and tanned skin as she carved her way through the crowd, her scimitar caked in viscera and flesh, all while her Metal Mana began to coat her entire body, deflecting blades from piercing her flesh as she forwent defense and opted for offense entirely, her scimitar cutting a path towards the portal with fluid swings.

Taking a step behind Adelina, I began to trace out runes of my own as I hoisted a crystalline lance, which I hurled towards the portal, the long icicle exploding on contact and outright killing two of the Cultists powering the gateway, the shards of ice slicing cleanly through their armor and lodging themselves inside their flesh, spreading the frost deeper and quicker inside their bodies.

The Lioness guarded me from attackers, her golden blade twirling through the air in hypnotic arcs as she sliced and slashed at the approaching Cultists and Goblins, allowing me the time to cast spells in support of Anput.

Hurling another lance straight at the portal, I clicked my tongue as I noticed that the gateway was already self sufficient, the mana in the air getting sucked into the spell and allowing it to work even as the Cultists channeling it were killed one after another.

My mate managed to reach the portal a moment later, her scimitar cleaving the remaining imbeciles down and leaving her standing alone near the gateway, which continued to spin faster and faster as more mana was funneled inside from the surrounding area.

Anput looked around before trying to cut at the portal, her scimitar shrouded in mana as she tried to use mana to cut mana, but sadly nothing happened as her blade sailed harmlessly through the portal.

Goblins streamed towards her, taking the Jackalkin's attention from the portal to her safety instead, leaping away and putting some distance between her and the unknown gateway, returning to the fray and slowly culling the population of monsters around us.

The original gateway that had brought these monsters here was flickering out, it's own mana being drained away by the larger, stronger gateway beside it.

The horde of monsters was easily in the hundreds, the sheer amount of one of the most common monsters in the world cramping the center of Arbo alongside the various mortals that had joined a Cult in hopes of power and wealth, and if one were to look from above to see the three separate bastions inside the hordes, you'd think that the four people fighting against this ocean of enemies would be overwhelmed and die, but...

Goblins died easy, and the Cultists weren't the most talented fighters - or even accustomed to fighting - so against a Commander of a Legion, an Heir to a large warrior House, a Begum to a warrior state, and a devoted woman keen on keeping pace with her lovers, the favors of this battle were heavily weighed in our favor.

Even still though, we kept an eye on the large gateway that was continuing to form, the sheer amount of enemies around us not giving us the time to focus on the gateway and overload it with mana; Adelina could only do so much against a veritable wall of flesh that was pushing down on her, threatening to topple over her and break her against the cobblestones.

So I took my Khopesh and joined her in the fray, my blast spell on hand and cutting down swathes of enemies as I tore them apart with my blade as well, killing and killing to my hearts content.

Blood created beautiful arcs in the air, the violet glow of the gateway reflecting in the droplets and casting an eery glow on large square that we were fighting in, while the corpses around us piled up - though the Goblin corpses dissipated into dust as per usual, leaving only a black metal collar that clattered to the ground, though they too seemed to be cracking and breaking with each passing second.

The cries of agony that the wounded made whenever I blew their arms off with a compressed blast of ice was music to my ears, while the gurgling and thuds as bodies dropped to the ground and bled out was just as excellent, each death bringing me small amounts of joy.

However, that joy was short lived as something began to crawl free from the violet portal, large clawed hands grasping at the edges of the gateway and allowing the thing to pull itself out.

A large, blue skinned Fiend stepped out of the gateway, it's four arms ending in hands far larger than normal, and each digit was adorned with a thick claw that was suited for rending flesh apart.

Muscles bulged on the Fiends upper body, while its legs were covered in thick scales, each one a deep ocean blue.

Horns longer than my arms crowned its head, curling over the back of its skull and hooking back up into the air, giving it a slightly demented appearance that was only worsened by the large grin that threatened to split its features.

Two slitted eyes opened up as it grinned more, its fanged mouth opening to reveal a forked tongue as it hissed "So this~ is the world of the living... It's been awhile..."

Rolling its shoulders, the Fiend continued to grin as it looked over at Jahi, its eyes narrowing even as its grin widened, flexing its four arms menacingly.

"Ah... so you're~ the little brat that the others were bitching about... You don't look like much, pipsqueak! Light Mana isn't all that it's made up to be!"

Stepping forwards, the Fiend stomped on a Goblin uncaringly, squashing the green monster beneath its foot and killing it easily, all while its blue skin began to shimmer with grey runes.

"I'll enjoy ripping your soul from your body and feasting on it~! Maybe then I can usurp that damnable Delira... always ordering me around! Like that bastard knows more than me! Tza'Inopia!"

As the Fiend took another step towards Jahi, it's eyes widened as a loud explosion sounded out behind it, the entire square getting bathed in a blinding orange light.

The ground rumbled alongside the explosion, and when we could finally open our eyes and look towards the source of the blast, we noticed instantly that the gateway this Tza'Inopia had crawled out of was gone, the area around where it had been scorched black.

Standing in the center of one of the many roads that connected to the central square was Leone, her eyes glowing a brilliant crimson as she stared at the Fiend with a flat gaze, not saying anything.

Nirinia, on the other hand, had already lurched forwards and slammed into the back of the Fiend, her golden Dadao sparkling with a green light as she tried to cut into the Fiend's muscular body.
