Chapter 926 925: Relaxing After A Battle
Taking a step back from the corpse of Ka'Vis, I pursed my lips before glancing back at the floating Arch Fiend and asking "Hey Cali, is he dead or just faking it again?"
Humming to herself, the floating pink skinned incarnation of lust drifted over to me and looked down at the body of Ka'Vis for a few moments, before turning to stare at Ka'Min, who was sprawled out on the ground a few feet away, still beneath Anput, Kat and Satanya.
"Unless they have a method to stop their heartbeat, mana flow, expel their remaining mana and dim their soul to the point of non existence, then yes, I believe they are dead... a shame too... this Ka'Vis was a handsome stud... wonder what he looked like down there... or Ka'Min..."
I just gave her a dry look before retrieving my great sword and cleaning off the Fiend's blood from the blade with a swift chop to the side, ensuring it was free of contamination with a flare of my mana afterwards as I turned and made my way over to the other three, looking them over and making sure they weren't injured.
"Everyone okay? No injuries of any kind?"
"Nah, besides being kinda disappointed in the entire fight in general though... compared to that bastard Tza'Orbias though, he seemed kinda... kinda like a letdown, I guess?"
That made me chuckle as I nodded, though Kat was the one to speak up as she said "Comparatively, this one was far weaker than Tza'Orbias, and was also a better match up. Pure physical strength with magical gimmicks is easier to fight against then pure magical strength with some physical gimmicks... especially when it is easier to fight against physical combatants for us in particular. There is also the fact that he made it easier by challenging us head on without much fanfare. No herd of monsters to corral against us, no Cultists to attack us, nothing... just straight forwards and relying on strength he believes he had."
"Still... it was kinda a letdown, you can't say it wasn't. Not as challenging as I would expect a Fiend to be, y'know?"
We all shrugged at that, only for Belian to approach us as he said "Remember, he was apparently wounded, or at the very least not at full strength. Additionally, like Kat said, he was a rather ideal matchup for you all. Your strengths lie within... well, your strength, but your mana types too. And just to let you know, like mortals, Fiends range in power, from very weak to very strong. Some Fiends aren't even really what most consider 'Fiends' thanks to how weak they are..."
"Oh, you mean those cute little things that love to claim they are 'Fiends' thanks to having a smidgen of mana from our Domains? Yes, we usually call them Servies~! Like servants, but more annoying and not that useful. Well... I can find uses for them, of course, but uh... they usually die afterwards, so..."
Snickering, Cali drifted around before blinking a few times as she donned an innocent mask, acting like she wasn't insinuating something rather crude and dark to us as she added "What? They aren't really that important, so who cares what happens to them, right?"
We all stared at the Arch Fiend for a moment before Belian decided to just ignore her, turning back to us and saying "So there are a variety of Fiends that can be encountered, and some are either too strong to deal with - like this one - or too weak to care about - like those... Servies... So just understand that sometimes, it might feel 'underwhelming' fighting some Fiends, and others will be extremely difficult, or sometimes downright impossible for your current selves. If you were to fight... well, again, this one, Tza'Yul, or Ka'Hondi, you would die in a heartbeat. Any Arch Fiend, really, as well as some of the ones clawing at the edge of becoming an Arch Fiend."
"Okay... and are they in the majority, like us mortals are? More often than not being this semi strong strenght in one aspect but weaker in another? Is that what you're getting at?"
He nodded, and turned to look down at the corpses for a moment before saying "Alright, lets get these corpses dismembered and organized! They also rudely interrupted our dinner, so get the base cleaned up! You four, you're fine to just do as you please; you fought, after all."
Everyone else began to rush forwards or back into the base, wanting to get their tasks completed so that they could return to relaxing and doing whatever they pleased until it was time to turn in for the night, the tiredness still catching up to them... and us too, as we stood and watched as the two corpses of the Fiends we had been fighting moments earlier were swiftly separated and broken down into their respective parts.
"So, how are you all feeling after that? Having this realization that while strong, they have weaknesses of many kinds that you can find and exploit? Analysis of your opponents needs to be swift and decisive, but you also need to be flexible in your understanding of what is happening. Don't become utterly certain about something until you have multiple instances of that thing happening. Anyways... yeah, again, how do you all feel after that? Excited? Relieved? Anticipatory?"
"Horny."
His smile froze as he glanced at me, and I just shrugged in response as I made my feelings known, something that made Anput smirk and made Kat roll her eyes; as for Satanya, she shook her head and walked away, saying "I already said how I felt... I'm gonna go get some rest then. See you in a couple hours..."
"Ahem... well uh... I guess I should leave you to it, huh..?"
Nodding, Belian curtly turned around and walked away, leaving us alone with one another as we too made our way back to the camp, where Leone was waiting for us with a soft smile and a pot of hot tea.
"Really Jahi? Horny? That's your reply to that kind of question? Where's your class, your-!"
I glanced at Kat and raised a brow as I replied "He's practically family - albeit in a loose sense. Who needs decorum and grace with family, hm? Besides, I wasn't lying... I could really~ use a good fuck right now..."
"That's beside the point! Its crass and unbecoming of you as a Noble!"
The Dogkin was pouting at me as she crossed her arms beneath her bountiful chest, giving those amazing 'weapons' of hers a good display as she teased me whilst also scolding me, something that she knew just drove me up a wall and made what was to come all the sweeter for me as I made her 'repent' for her actions.
"Oh come on~ Kat, it's not that big of a deal... He's a Demon, she's a Demoness... Lust is common enough vice for most people, but for them~? Oh, isn't it such a clear vice~? And an amazing one..."
Draping herself over the Dogkin's back, Anput just smirked at Kat before turning that smirk to me as she added "Though I have to admit, I don't think you've ever been that~ forward with your desires in public... just outright saying them~?"
"Well, I was asked a question so I replied honestly. I could make do with some post battle 'service' and unwinding, you know? I truly am a tad highly strung at the moment. Stress and exhaustion fighting inside me demanding something to soothe me... What's better than having sex after a battle?"
"Wine, pastry, a bath, a massage, just cuddling, talking, rea-"
"Or we could have sex."
Kat pouted at me again as I cut her off, and I couldn't help but chuckle as I said "Kat, that all sounds great, but they would all end up becoming me on top of you making you scream until you passed out and you know it. Maybe after you can give me a massage, or we can cuddle before falling asleep together. But don't act surprised that I want all three of you for a proper 'dessert' tonight; that will never change and you know it~!"
I gave her a smug grin before taking a seat inside the camp, enjoying the way Kat just sat opposite me and looked away as she continued to sulk - it was adorable how she so casually acted different roles - whilst also taking in the sight of Anput taking a seat on the ground so that she could rest her head on Kat's thighs and enjoy a head scratch, the Dogkin running her hands gently through her mates hair even as she ignored me.
Meanwhile, Leone busied herself with making tea, and it was just another thing that I found easy on the eyes as I gazed at her figure as she moved around, continuing to realize just how blessed I was to have each of my three wives~!
