Chapter 1127: Chapter 1126: Play To Your Strengths
"Well don't you look dashing, Kat~!"
Jahi wore a slightly strained smile as she looked me up and down, the Demoness accepting my hand and giving me a spin as she took in my dolled up appearance, her amethyst eyes slowly tracing the curves of my body while her emotions tried to hide away from me behind a forced smile.
Since the Sultana's information was about a merchant hosting a lavish party where these Fingers would be mingling around - and where all their information was stored away somewhere inside of the building - the decision had been made that my best course of action was direct infiltration.
Put on some light makeup that someone had procured for this very event, don the flattering but still conservative dress that hugged my finger in the right spots whilst concealing most of my skin, and for me to alter my personality to a more friendly and open one.
It had been something that I had discussed with my lovers before accepting the Sultana's request for this sort of infiltration, and the reason I had been alright with this idea had been entirely because of the Lust Mana that I was still learning to use; being able to mess with people's minds was something I desperately needed to master sooner rather than later, and what better place than a party?
All those people who are already inhibited by the alcohol and the environment getting further intoxicated on desires as I enhance or lower their lusts as I see fit; that was a perfect training ground for me, and since I needed to locate special documentation anyways... it gave me a myriad of ways to go about this mission.
I just had to promise to not go overboard testing out these powers and finding their limits, to not have a repeat of what I had earlier where I managed to get myself so aroused that the very idea of being exclusive was slowly becoming merely a suggestion... promises that I fully intended to keep, for obvious reasons.
That was why Jahi was staring at me like that, and while a small part of me wanted to be hurt at what emotions lingered in those amethyst eyes of hers, more of me understood the reluctance to let me do it this way; it was risky and something that was outside of her control, and the Demoness in front of me very much liked being in control.
I wasn't unarmed either, since we were allowed to have a small, slightly ceremonial weapon - a part of the culture inside of the Sultanate that I was happy to learn about - while there was nothing they could do to remove or nullify the tattoos I had on my wrists.
That was if they could decipher them at a quick glance when they were beneath flowing, yet transparent cloth, so I wasn't even worried about that anyways, especially not when I had learned how to utilize my voice to cast spells.
A skill that was slowly becoming more and more appreciated the longer I had access to it, and one that gave Jahi just a little bit more ease of mind when she looked me over once more, this time with some more appreciation.
It was funny seeing how varied yet simple each of our strengths could be; I was an all rounder who happened to be pretty good at dealing with people, Anput was a smith who loved making weapons and using them, Jahi liked fighting anyone or anything, and Leone liked magic.
Put us in a position to make use of our strengths, and you would have a pretty good chance of us succeeding at whatever it was that you wanted us to do, which was a nice way to operate a large scale military or a small cluster of elites.
Just pick and plug as you please based on the task at hand, that basic kind of management still being used all over the world for a myriad of things; sometimes simplicity was the answer, and the simplicity of our tasks fit us all pretty well.
"Well... yeah, I guess that's true. Still, to think that this was supposed to be a vacation, and now we're coordinating a large scale, explosive and almost excessive show of force on a city that is technically still entirely under the control of the Sultanate..."
Jahi chuckled wryly and shook her head as she leaned against her giant shield, while Anput snorted and turned to look towards the tent we had last seen her Mom at, the Jackalkin narrowing her eyes as she muttered "Could've always been worse way to spend this time. At least we're getting some good materials."
"That's true, but I will say that I will NOT miss this damn heat when all of this is done; I absolutely despise this desert and all other deserts during the day, and even the nights cannot
make up for these days."
All three of my lovers all smiled at me as I made my way towards the canopy nearby, getting away from the sun and trying to cool myself off as best I could as we waited for the Sultana to come and finalize our orders; she wanted to do this on a timer that would lead into one another, and the plan was to have Leone finish last while the small squads hit the various hideouts hard and fast.
That way whenever the city was bombarded the Fingers would already be mostly dead and unaware of what was happening, so we could eradicate them as quickly as possible and without as many hiccups as we had back at the last city...
Though I imagine the emergence of another Fiend wouldn't be the worst thing to happen, so long as it wasn't- actually, that doesn't really matter now that the Sultana is here with us.
If an Arch Fiend or other really strong Fiend wants to make an appearance, now is most definitely the time for them to do just that, and the materials we could get off of a powerhouse like that... I know if Anput was thinking what I was thinking, she might just be drooling right about now...
Hells, I'm almost drooling myself just thinking about some even higher quality gear being made from some of those Fiends... my short sword already did so well, after all...
