Letting out a strangled cry, the Nua Fiend glared at Jahi before grabbing at her blade, not caring at all that its grubby fingers were being burnt and purified as it grasped at the dual metal blade so that it could try and pull her closer to itself.
Beside them, Saif lunged forwards and swung her cleaver downwards with an ample amount of force as she targeted the Fiend's arm, slicing through the flesh and cutting through the bone as she forced it to release Jahi's blade.
Before Anput or I could move to help them though, the flapping of wings and the deep, throaty singing of the Tza Fiend's bow filled the air once more, and we both spun around and released defensive spells as we watched three large arrows hurtle through the air towards our platform.
The three of them were completely different from one another in appearance, the variations in color, shape of the arrowhead and the amount of fletchings they all meaning that they were all different in function, so trying to defend against them was difficult.
Anticipating the strong gale of wind that I blasted towards them, the Fiend released an arrow that simply ignored the counteracting force by cutting through it with its own mana, while the metal shielding that Anput summoned meant nothing to an arrow that was steadily heating up to the point that its once silver tip was now a vibrant orange.
The third arrow acted somewhat like a mobile battery as it flew between those two arrows, and it empowered and sustained their unique effects before flying backwards harmlessly when it reached the wall of wind, leaving the other two on their lonesome as they hurtled straight towards us.
Anput hurtled various chunks of rock at the Fiend while also mimicking the arrow spell I had as she peppered the area in various projectiles, and with so much filling the airspace around it the Fiend was swiftly caught by one of our attacks, which made it easier for me to grab it with the tentacles and freeze them before I slammed it down into the ground.
It happened in rapid succession; an arrow sliced through its cheek before another pierced through one of its wings, and that momentary disruption of its flight pattern as it tried to ignore the pain and fill the hole to maintain its aerodynamics and ability to fly smoothly allowed me to wrap it up and pull it to the ground, those precious microseconds it needed to right those wrongs never coming to its aid.
As it was falling towards the ground I unsheathed my blade and leapt towards its landing spot, which was at the base of my large ice pillar that radiated a deep chill that would be useful going forwards, and the moment the Fiend crashed against the ground with a dull thud I leapt onto it and stabbed it in the throat.
Its spine and wings shattered on impact, disabling its ability to move and causing the Fiend an absurd amount of pain as it tried to scream in agony as it was suddenly paralyzed, only for its larynx and the rest of the very important things inside of its neck to be severed as a blade made from the bones of its fellow Tza Fiend cut through its flesh easily.
Not giving it any sort of ability to cast some kind of spell or do anything at all, I twisted the blade before grabbing its head next, smashing it back against the ground and breaking it open as I hooked my fingers into its skull, finding its brain and scrambling it up to kill it
completely.
The death notification filled me with such tingly pleasure as I yanked my weapon free and stood up, leaving the corpse below me as I looked towards the rest of the cultists, the drop in temperature around me and the vast amounts of vapor wafting off of the ice crystal filling my mind with ideas as I prepared for the next step in this battle.
