Chapter 22

The impact sent Nathan flying. His body was sturdy, but he pumped magic into it to enhance himself anyway. By the time he hit the ground, he had reinforced himself enough that he barely felt the crash landing.

He pulled himself up from the remains of the earthworks he landed in and looked around.

The battlefield was absolute chaos. His army was in retreat from the outer wall. Demons surged through the hole in the wall, and automatons met them in frenzied battle. Flames of all colors filled the air. Nathan smelled ash, smoke, and charred flesh.

“Bastion!” a beastkin knight shouted at him. Her tail hung low, and her helmet was missing. Blood ran down her face, and she had one eye closed.

“Go,” Nathan shouted, gesturing for her to retreat.

A surge of magic built up above him. Triangles appeared in his hands, and he unleashed a pair of wind blasts at Laura. She batted them aside before dropping down.

The beastkin knight backed away a few steps, then raised her weapon.

The succubus glanced at her, then raised an arm. A sliver of darkness covered it. She curled in her wrist.

Nathan charged her, his sword wreathed in light. His attack distracted Laura, and she smirked at him. She fought him bare-handed, covering her limbs in shadow and deflecting his sword and spells effortlessly.

The gap between them was massive right now. He could match a duogem Champion, but only with preparation and a lot of raw power. But a Messenger fought like a Bastion on steroids. They cast high rank spells faster than he could blink and had a seemingly endless reserve of power.

Laura might be a ridiculously silly woman in many ways, but her power was genuine. Underestimating her because she appeared to be an idiot was the same as underestimating Kadria because she was constantly horny.

What Nathan needed was Champion support, so he could prepare a fifth or sixth rank spell. But right now, all of his Champions were tied up, helping his army retreat.

The beastkin knight fled while he kept Laura busy, and Nathan found himself pushed back.

“You put up a better fight than I thought,” Laura said. “No wonder Kadria claimed you. But she’s always so focused on hiding her toys that she didn’t realize we knew about her hiding spot.” Laura giggled. “I know I promised Maura that I would wait until we met up at the end before I ravaged you, but you’ve been playing hard to get, so nobody can blame me, right?”

“Somebody’s feeling confident,” Nathan said.

“Oh, backtalk. It’s been a while since I’ve met a Bastion who actually spoke to me.” Laura stopped attacking Nathan and pressed a hand against one cheek. “All you Bastions do is scream about your goddess, and heresy, and how they’re going to destroy me if it’s the last thing they do. It’s nice to have a toy that won’t be screaming death threats while I ride them.”

“You misunderstand. There won’t be any riding,” Nathan said.

“Oh, no. There’s going to be lots of riding.
