Sinking the blade to the hilt, I grinned at the man and leaned forwards as I shushed his choked cry, wrapping his head in Wind Mana to capture and contain the sound of his death from the other to maintain the precious few seconds I had to deal as much death as I possibly could.
"Hush now~! It'll be alright soon enough... the void awaits your arrival, and I pray that it is as cold and empty as I remember it to be; it's what you deserve, after all~!"
The gushing of his blood was amplified as he tried to scream at me, the horror and agony in his eyes becoming one of the most delectable dishes ever as I slowly, painfully slipped that blade out of his flesh, my free hand guiding him to the floor as I whispered "Take the time to reflect on your choices, and perhaps some God or Goddess might take mercy on your soul, like one had to mine..."
I sincerely doubted it though, and as I stared down at the man I could see the light fading from his eyes as his blood pooled out around him, the sudden drop of blood inside his body causing all of his organs to begin faltering, painting this beautiful picture before me. Licking my lips hungrily, I flicked the pretty vitae from my blade and leapt back into action, my feet gliding across the tile as I silently approached my next target like a reaper; to that end, I laid my cold hand across the face of the female cultist and yanked her head back as I bared her throat for my new toy, allowing it to drink from her directly as I cut deeply into her flesh.
I targeted the carotid arteries for the most stunning visuals as I bled the woman in the bank, making her end a bloody affair as I painted the glass in front of her red with her own blood, marring our reflections and ensuring that the last thing she saw was her own harrowing visage beside my own as I grinned at her through that reflection.
By that point I had barely enough time for the final victim to die silently, so I made sure it counted as I pushed her against the glass and leapt backwards, giving me a wide view of the bank and making it even easier for me as I sprang up into the air and swiftly began to try something else out.
Another thing that I wanted to test today was my [Invoker] skill, and to do so with a mixture of the more conventional runic variant of casting magic was what I really wanted to see, so as I reached the apex of my leap, I went with a tried and true spell that would work wonderfully on this open battlefield.
Imbuing my vocal cords with mana as I ran an identical amount down to my fingers required a good amount of concentration as I multitasked, and getting the two to activate together was the key for making this an even more powerful spell than it already was, so I was curious as to how this would turn out.
Giving my magic shape with my voice while I also gave it shape with specific runes that meant specific things was a thrilling action for me after spending so long honing my craft with written spell casting, and the chill I felt as I muttered "[Arrows of Chione]!" was matched by the Ice Mana inside that spell.
The sparkling cyan runes pulsed like a heartbeat as I combined the two separate styles of magic together into one, and as the Ritual Circle spun to life in front of me I could see the various threads of cyan connecting me to it.
Flicking the blood off of my blade, I sheathed it and held her cheek as I pulled her closer to myself, ignoring her musk and focusing instead on how my Lust Mana was working inside of her as I whispered "Everything will be alright, my dear... There is no need to worry..."
She blinked a few times before slowly relaxing into my embrace as I pulled her closer, my other arm wrapping around her back as I embraced her and began to soothe her, testing out a few different things as I asked "What were you doing in a scary place like this, hm?" Trying to focus on me, the other Dogkin woman pursed her lips and furrowed her brow before she unsteadily replied "I... I was doing my... job. My assignment, for my comrades. My... family. We need money... Money for payments, for acquiring more resources... To take from the rich and redistribute the wealth."
"What did you need the money for then, hm? What did your family need this money for that they would risk so, so very much... just to get a measly amount of gold?"
The spell - [Arrows of Chione] - flickered out of existence and allowed Jahi to walk inside with an arched brow as she quietly approached me, her amethyst eyes alternating between me and the woman in my arms as she silently asked me what the hell I was doing.
"We... We were... ensuring everyone had been paid... Ensuring that we were compensated for our work... and getting the money ready for something from the Steppes. Something
important..."
"Do you know what it was, dear?"
She tentatively shook her head, blinking a few more times before relaxing even more as I gave her another smaller dose of Lust Mana to place her into a deeper stupor, and now I moved onto the 'fun' part as I murmured "Well, do you know who that is-?"
Turning her head for her, I made her look at Jahi as I grinned at the Demoness, making her brow go even higher as she watched me closely, though when the Dogkin bit her lip and shuffled slightly, Jahi rolled her eyes and turned away as she began to take in the damage I
had done to the building.
"That, my dear, is someone very important and incredible~! She's my everything; literally. She and I are so tied together... saying that my heart beats for hers isn't even an exaggeration~! Isn't that just romantic-? So, my dear, what do you think we could do to show her that appreciation, hm-? How would you show this handsome hunk appreciation~?"
