"Must you be like this..?"

Kicking the severed head of the cultist away from me, I looked over at the Vampire Princess and shrugged, knowing that I was being a bit crude right now but unable to find it within myself to care that much since I needed to blow off some steam.

The whole being abducted thing was getting to me at this point, and the fact that I had gotten lucky each time was something that further irked me, even if someone could argue that being lucky was one part of my overall skill in this life.

That just didn't sit right with me, but the amount of times I had been lamenting my uselessness only further pissed me off as I watched the head roll even further, though right now my anger was placed entirely on the scene I had caught just a moment ago.

Seeing Jahi pinning a woman to the ground and grinning down at her like she had found a juicy piece of prey was enough to fill me with rage, both at the woman and at the stud of a Demoness that I loved far too much.

Leone had seen it as well, though she was still trying to feign that prim and proper mask even though it was just us, something I knew thanks to her more agitated and flashy casting of magic that allowed her to be a lot more aggressive than normal.

She dismissed our anger with a shrug and turned back towards the rest of the enemies, though I caught the smirk on her face as she stepped over the corpse of the Sla Fiend to begin marching towards another fight.

Everything continued to go smoothly from that point on as we picked our battles on a whim, heading for various clusters of cultists who looked strong or Fiends who were alone, whittling down the numbers again and again as the battle raged on.

And yet it had already reached its apparent climax without us since many of the cultists were already fleeing, and after the next half dozen of Fiends fell most of them began to retreat as well, some shouting about their departures whilst others left silently.

Those that had been unlucky enough to be close to the Sultana however were not allowed to leave, and more bodies hit the floor as she carved through them like she was preparing a feast for us all as limbs and slabs of meat were sent flying through the air with the occasional head.

All of them died quickly, and she tried to catch as many as she could, easily making up half of the kill count on her own as her blades never stopped moving through the air, and it was her steady and stable presence that made it possible for us to push through everything to reclaim this city for her and for us.

Then like flies the entirety of the invading force began to disperse, rushing away from us and fleeing from the city as they decided to preserved their lives, and while we could rush after them to hunt them down the Sultana gave us the order to remain where we were and simply shoot whomever we could.

The battle ended on a whimper as the numerical losses began to mount even more than they had anticipated - and honestly from what we had anticipated - but no one on our side was going to complain about this outcome whatsoever.

It was over for now, and as more and more of the cultists disappeared from our sight we were finally able to relax, though the lingering threat of Fiends meant we couldn't let our guard down completely lest we be caught off guard and swept into a terrible position.
