With that, the two women stepped back to observe the fight between Luce and Lauryn, while Nyssa watched from the sidelines with a solemn expression. The air crackled with energy as Luce summoned a horde of monstrous creatures to aid him in the battle, while Lauryn channeled her magic and prepared herself for the fight of her life.
"Mistress... I was under the impression that you wanted Alex to be yours exclusively, then why are you urging Lauryn to develop her relationship with Master? I am in awe of your ability to tolerate other people." The group was in the midst of a chaotic battle, with the sounds of clashes and spells reverberating in the air. Nyssa and Aureal had moved back to observe the fight while Lauryn and her dragon fought against Luce and his creatures.
LeFay turned her attention to Nyssa and responded, "Oh, it's just that... it's important to keep one's options open, don't you think? Besides, I want Lauryn to be as strong and capable as possible, even if it means she ends up with that man."
Nyssa nodded in agreement before returning her attention to the fight. Luce charged towards Lauryn with his arms outstretched, urging her to show him what she was truly capable of.
Lauryn gritted her teeth and prepared for his attack, her dragon by her side. "I'll show you, Luce. I'll show you what I'm truly capable of!" she yelled, before launching herself towards him with a fierce determination.
Lauryn's dragon, Fáfnir, spoke to her through their telepathic link, suggesting that she should consider entering into a different pact to gain an advantage over Luce, the young Jinn who was taking advantage of their current circumstance.
"Young witch, may I suggest that you consider entering into a different pact? I am more than able to uphold my end of the bargain regarding the connection that keeps me here. You direct your power in a different direction. The fact that the young Jinn is taking advantage of the circumstance does not sit well with me," he said.
Lauryn replied with a sense of defeat, "Ah, ok... It is impossible for me to prevail unless I make use of another of my pacts, most likely the wendigo... Despite the fact that I have already used up all of my opportunities to do so." She realized that she needed to find another ally to engage in a straightforward hand-to-hand fight at this point.
As she contemplated whose alliance she ought to join, Luce charged towards her, arms held out in front of him. "Let us proceed now that they are no longer a threat. Show me what you're actually capable of doing," he said with a passionate plea. Lauryn knew that she had to act fast and choose the right pact if she wanted to win this fight.
Lauryn stood there, pondering on which pact she should utilize in order to defeat her opponent. As she weighed her options, she thought about the unique abilities each pact provided.
The Pact of the Nemean would undoubtedly be the most logical choice as it would strengthen her skin to the point where it could withstand even the strongest of blows, essentially acting as an impenetrable armor.
However, the Pact of the Wraith would allow her to carry out stealthy attacks and infiltrate the enemy's defenses. While the Pact of the Minotaur could also prove to be useful, Lauryn could not quite figure out how she could utilize its powers in a productive manner.
As she went through her mental list, Lauryn also considered the Pact of Fenrir, which had been unchanged and remained a viable option should she need it. However, she knew that the Pact of the Kraken was too unpredictable on dry land to be of much use in this particular battle. That left her with the Pact of the Manticore, which could potentially be the key to her victory.
The Pact of the Manticore, which could very well be my answer to this conundrum. Okay, I've thought it through, and I know exactly what I want to do...
"I respectfully request that the deal be made with your esteemed beast," Lauryn said to the Jinn. She had decided on the Pact of the Nemean Lion, which would fortify her skin to the same degree as the strongest crafted armor. "The fierce and powerful Nemean Lion, who pays homage to no one but himself. Give it to me, and may it shield my being from harm."
The Jinn nodded and closed his eyes for a moment before opening them again. Suddenly, Lauryn felt a strange sensation all over her body, like tiny pinpricks. She struggled to control the urge to scratch herself as the feeling intensified, but then something shifted. Her skin became rough and thick, almost like armor. It felt as though a thousand calluses had sprouted all over her body.
Lauryn was not particularly fond of this ability, as it was somewhat unpleasant, but she knew it had its applications. With the Pact of the Nemean Lion, she would be nearly invulnerable to physical harm. She could engage in hand-to-hand combat without fear of injury, and even if she did sustain damage, her skin would quickly heal itself.
Feeling the newfound strength and protection of her skin, Lauryn squared her shoulders and turned to face Luce and his creatures with renewed confidence. She was ready to put up her best fight and come out on top, no matter what it took.
