"So then let's assume that it's a... fifty fifty split of some of the members of the Finger's having the smarts and the wit to broker an even deal with the Fiends and some not being that smart. That's also taking into account that not all of those contracts would be as incredibly potent as the one you and Kat have together..."
Glancing at Leone, I nodded thoughtfully as I added "And if they don't have access to Fiendish Magic themselves through their own Core - like how I have that crest that allows me to wield some of it however crudely I can manage - and that they instead need to rely on a plethora of enchanted items to get by, then how powerful would the really be?"
The Vampire and I shared a look as we tried to puzzle our way through that as well, though Anput brought up an excellent point as she remained flat on her back, staring at the ceiling with a slightly bored gaze.
"It isn't just the enchanted items themselves, really. It's the type of magic that is enchanted onto those items and whether or not someone amongst them can take it apart, figure out how it works and piece it together again on something else with more conventional and readily available magics. I mean, isn't that teleportation spell technically a extremely boosted movement spell, at least very loosely?"
"You think they are not only getting some good gear from the Fiends, but they are also reverse engineering some of these things for themselves so that they don't need to worry about the Fiends potentially backstabbing them with the gear they were given? It is most definitely a plausible theory, and one we should accept as factual so long as we remain unaware of the truth."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Cali, what exactly would each branch of the Fiend's various magics be capable of? Are there variations of Sla Fiend Magic, or is it all just Lust Magic with a personal twist?"
Humming quietly to herself, the Arch Fiend turned to face me as she replied "They are all the same with a personal twist, but just like how your Wind Magic can be varied depending on the person to have incredibly diverse effects, so too can our Lust Magics have very different applications.
Not only that, but the mastery of the Domain and a deeper understanding of what it is changes the magics as well, so my Lust Mana is so very different from what another lesser Sla Fiend is capable of. Where I deal in your desires - be they for sex, wine, battle or even life itself - most of the lesser Sla Fiends only understand Lust Mana as a way to make sex all the better, so they focus on the arousal aspect.
Anput grinned at us before she got up and stretched away her aches, the Jackalkin letting out a content groan as she added "Still though, I think we should get going soon. There is nothing else inside of Bascra to keep us occupied anymore, so let's head home and tell Mom about what happened here and get her input on it."
We all reluctantly got up and began to clean off, the broad healing spell that Leone and I cast on everyone doing its job perfectly as we managed to get completely back to 'normal' despite the various things we had just done.
Gathering our gear and stowing away our spoils from this little outing in Bascra, we got everything together and got ourselves ready to leave as we left the inn a few minutes later, deciding that it'd be better to leave now and reach the palace before night fell, which would let us spend the night in luxury instead of in this boring inn.
It wasn't the most ideal plan, and we were going to be pushing the Jackals just a little bit compared to normal, but it was also something that I agreed that we needed to do since there was no telling how quickly they could put that stolen knowledge to use and begin this insane idea of theirs.
We needed to have the country prepared and on the lookout for them so that there was no possible way that they could do this, and I believed every single minute mattered with this when it came to Fiends having any sort of input on this crazy plan to terraform the entire
country.
It sounds so impossible considering the overabundance of Fire Mana that was stifling the entire desert, and yet if there was any possible group that could somehow make that Fire Mana turn into it's opposite, it would be the Tza Fiends working with a plethora of over eager, strong but stupid Fiends.
Having a large quantity of living batteries to power up the various experiments that you wanted to perform alongside the various pitiful mortals doing your bidding to help things go smoothly as you just did the simple thing of altering the world itself on a giant level.
So we went down into the common area of the inn, grabbed a quick bite to eat - whilst ignoring the various stares we got from the many inhabitants of the inn as they tried to figure out if they should thank us for helping save them or if they should ask if we were alright - and headed out to find Hera, who was standing right outside of the door waiting for us.
