Chapter 1149: Chapter 1148: All Out Attack (5)



A booming laugh filled the air alongside the explosions rocking the city, and we watched with bated breath as that red skinned giant began to march towards the entrance, leading the way with it's twin axes as it prepared to meet the attackers.

The city was in an uproar now that the attack had begun, and we gave it a minute before finally deciding to go out and join everyone in the attack, climbing out onto the roof and surveying the nearby locations as we decided our next move.

"Probably just head over to the bank, the Sheikh's houses, and maybe even the largest Noble Manor that we can find... they might have the others, or at least some important information for us to make use of."

"They could... I agree with the bank definitely; they most certainly want to drain the coffers and secure funds for the future, so we should head there first. With all of the lowly grunts getting sent to fight the fires at the wall, I imagine we can do a bit of damage down by the bank."

Saif agreed somewhat with Zahrah, and just like that our next course of action was secured as we began to run along the rooftops of the buildings, silently making our way towards the center and passing by a myriad of both civilians and also soldiers.

Some of the citizens of Hajar were still alive and 'well', but they were definitely not taking any risks with either the soldiers or the people outside of the walls as they rushed back towards their homes, and it wasn't too surprising to see members of the Fingers rushing outside of those homes after hearing the commotion outside...

We had to ignore that though as we made our way towards the opulent building in the middle of Hajar, the marble roof and gold trimmed columns setting it apart from literally everything else inside of this city as we prepared to raid the bank, which was built like a fortress.

Giant spiked walls surrounded a boxy building with very few windows, and only one noticeable entrance; I was about to ask how we were going to enter only to blink a few times when Saif empowered her arms with mana and punched the wall, creating our own entrance. "No more stealth then huh?"

Saif just grunted as she walked inside, the giant Jackalkin grabbing her cleaver and looking around at the various Fingers that were moving chests filled with gold and gemstones to the entrance.

Beside me, Zahrah sighed and unsheathed her second dagger as she muttered "No more stealth then... alright, let's get to it!" before dashing forwards, rushing out behind the larger Jackalkin and surprising more of the Fingers inside as she sliced a woman open well before they could react.

Blood sprayed onto Zahrah as she let the body drop to the floor, though the next Finger to fall wasn't to her daggers and instead to Saif's cleaver as she swung her blade with all her might, butchering two Finger's instantly and shattering the chest they were carrying.

Gold spilled onto the marble tile below before getting coated in blood as two corpses collapsed onto the coins and ingots, creating a pretty combination of glittering crimson and gold that was rather symbolic of the money this bank had.

Anyways, I didn't let them have all the fun as I darted forwards as well, my jagged short sword brimming with magical potential as I activated the enchantment on it and made use of that helix to slice through armor even easier.

Lopping off the limbs of another chest bearer and causing it to crash to the ground with a loud bang, I didn't give the woman an opportunity to understand that her arms were gone before I severed her head and moved on to her partner, who got to enjoy being stabbed in the face.

Their skull exploded beneath the combined power of my mana and the blade itself, the shards bouncing around the room enticingly while the Fingers finally reacted to our sudden appearance; they drew their weapons and shouted about an ambush, but with the explosions outside and the bank being isolated on it's own little 'island', there was no chance anyone heard what was happening in here.

Taking a moment to look around and study this battlefield of ours, I counted well over two dozen warriors gathered around in decent armor as well as a handful of mages that were preparing to shoot various spells at us.

Making the decision on my own, I left the two women down here and leapt towards the second floor, surprising one of the mages as I stabbed them in the back and pushed them down to the first floor, smirking at how they crashed to the ground with a meaty thud and a very loud crack as their neck snapped.

I couldn't enjoy it too much though since a woman beside me was hoisting a giant hammer and threatening to crush me with it, but I pushed through the deja vu and stabbed her in the stomach before punching her throat, stunning her and allowing me to yank my blade free and stab her thrice more.

She was nowhere near the level of the Caliph, so pushing her over the railing as well was of little closure for me even if it felt a little cathartic to kill a hammer wielder that quickly... Down below, Saif was cleaving through the various warriors and batting away any spells with her magic shrouded blade while Zahrah just dodged around nimbly, avoiding attacks and dishing them out with an elegance that matched her appearance.

The opulence of the bank was swiftly submerged beneath a shroud of carnage as we dispatched these cultists by any means necessary, and the swiftness with which we did was thanks to the sudden surprise attack we had launched; already they were grouping together and getting their defenses raised, casting buffs on themselves and ensuring that the fights were a little tougher.

The skill levels between us and them was still very apparent, but when you added numbers and decent tactics to the mix, that level was evened out somewhat, making it harder for us to sweep through the bank as quickly as I would have liked.

On this second level, the mages were gathering behind the warriors who raised shields made from mana as they bunkered together, allowing the mages to shoot spells up and over their heads to rain down on me.

Bolts of flame and wind crashed to the ground around me as I rushed forwards, and even though the spells started simple enough they quickly grew in complexity as the mages alternated their attacks, allowing them to work together as they upgraded from bolts to different spells.

Spears, crescents and more began to arc towards me, and soon some of the spells began to erupt from the floor as they layered attacks together, forcing me to remain as mobile as possible while also limiting my range of motion as they peppered the floor and the air with danger.

Still, my speed was something I could be proud of as I rushed around the attacks and blitzed towards the largest gathering, lunging into the shields of the warriors and overpowering them with my superior gear and magic.

The helix swirling around my blade cracked their shields with ease as the Ice Mana shattered upon impact, dealing damage over a wide area and taking advantage of them trying to catch my blade by redirecting their mana.

As soon as the shields were down I raised my free hand and swiftly drew out the runes needed to make the shotgun spell that I really loved; cocking my arm back and pointing it at the skull of the warrior in front of me, I sent a compressed blast of ice shards straight into her skull and watched as it exploded, showering the warriors nearby in gore.

Switching my aim to the next in line, I blasted their head off as well before lunging forwards once more as I used my blade next, slicing through the arm of a mage and cancelling their spell as I delved deep into the congregation of cultists.

Spinning around and coating my blade in even more mana, I sliced through multiple enemies at the same time whilst blasting whomever I could, dropping cultist after cultist as I bathed in

their blood.

I wanted to take my time with this, but we were on a schedule that needed to be kept so I made sure to cut my bloodlust short as I killed all of them quickly, though that didn't stop me from making some executive decisions on how they died.

The reason we were on a schedule in the first place though was a simple one, and as soon as I noticed that the shaking had stopped I shot the head of the last cultist before blitzing towards the final group up top, killing them as quickly as I could now that we had a feeling there was no Fiend here.
