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.
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.
