My Servant System

"Well, we can say the same thing about almost every damn country when it comes to their trained warriors; they tend to be a hardy people who value strength the same way they value coin, they are a sight to behold on the battlefield for one reason or another, and Gods be damned if they don’t make you wonder what the rest of the country is like if they are this powerful!"

Anput giggled as she sprawled out completely laying across all three of our laps and staring straight up at me as she added "So what I mean is, Batu’s country of origin is nice and all, and it might give you some clues as to how skilled he is as a warrior, but honestly that doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things thanks to how varied these people can be! I mean, look at me and then look at Leone; aren’t we so very different despite having similar stations?"

I opened my mouth to respond to my mate, wanting to tell her that yes, indeed that was usually the case, but before I could do so Jahi grinned back at the Jackalkin as she said "I can indeed see a few very- obvious differences between the two of you; some very BIG differences~!"

Anput sat up as quickly as she could and bared her fangs at Jahi, only to stiffen as the Demoness leaned forwards and gave her a sloppy kiss, silencing anything the Jackalkin could have said before making Leone and I both roll our eyes as she began to roam Anput’s body, showing her how much she loved what she had.

Down in the arena, the three warriors were preparing to face one another, the two gladiators brandishing their scimitars and lowering their stances into competent, experienced stances made for speed and an agile fighting style that would compliment their Wind Magic immensely, whilst also cluing Batu in that these two were likely utilizing a slashing and fluid fighting style with the scimitars and not a power based one.

There was so much to learn from how someone held themselves at the beginning of a fight, and that was what made me lean forwards to study Batu closer as I noticed that the dark skinned man was still standing there in a neutral stance, his lance resting on his shoulder as The stared down the two gladiators.

His weapon of choice was an impressive specimen of metal that stood around six feet in length, its conical shape getting balanced out thanks to the heavy weight near the foot long handle, giving him reach and power all in one, which would make getting close to him a trying task for the two gladiators, though that didn’t mean he was unapproachable.

Their Wind Magic would be key if they wanted to win this fight, and with their being two of them here to fight Batu, they could easily tag team the foreign man and divide his attention with their agility, their magic, and their taunting if they knew what they were doing.

When the announcers started the match, both the gladiators shot off like arrows from a bowstring, and they split off instantly to take either side of Batu, their scimitars coated in a gale of wind as they dashed around the arena and then towards Batu, closing in on in him a mere moment, hoping to catch him off guard right at the start and win this duel before it could even get going.

Interestingly enough, this adventurer from another land raised his boot and stamped down on the sand, the metal casing protecting his foot glimmering a deep brown as Earth Mana gathered around it before flooding into the ground, resulting in a rumbling that staggered the two gladiators and stopped their momentum, allowing Batu to lower his lance and take aim at one of them just as rock spikes erupted from the sands, piercing the air and traveling towards the two Sultanate natives.

Lunging forwards, Batu pulled back and stabbed towards the closest gladiator, his heavy frame moving surprisingly quickly as he barreled towards his first opponent, taking advantage of them being off balance to even the playing field right away, turning the table on them just as quickly as they hoped to do to him, but Anas - the gladiator that was a bit taller and buffer than his partner - managed to gather himself and leap away from Batu, but even then the spikes continued to chase after him for another second, jutting from the sand and remaining where they were summoned from, waiting to be broken.

"Well that’s nifty... enchantments on the boots for a spell that could be activated with the ground as a medium; pretty obvious enchantment but a really good one to have on hand, don’t you think? This guy seems really well informed and experienced!"

Leone nodded, agreeing with Jahi even as she said "Remember, as much as we love to pride ourselves on being smart and figuring out ways to do things that people around our age and skill level don’t normally do, people - like Batu - have experience that they gathered painstakingly over the years, so they know how to do things efficiently. We really do have so much to learn just by doing some more basic delves into Dungeons and the like."

"I know, I know... but still, that was nifty! I wonder what other goodies this guy has on him..."

Anas leapt away and continued to backpedal as Batu pursued him, the Wekalian lancer thrusting his weapon constantly and trying to catch the nimble Caninekin before Enta could rejoin the battle and bring it back to a 2 versus 1.

Grasping the handle with both hands, Batu controlled his lance perfectly as he stabbed at Anas repeatedly, only to then leap backwards as a crescent of wind swished straight through the space he had occupied a moment before, Enta displaying his ability to fight at range as he swung his scimitar, each swing sending out a blade of wind.

"Similar to your style there, Kat; guess that’s a pretty common style? Makes sense, so you might want to take some time and think up something more unique for yourself."

"Or she could perfect it to a degree that normal people don’t do, just to ensure no one could ever best her in it. Knowing that someone is using a certain style gives you an edge, sure, but if they are really good with that style, knowing doesn’t mean anything at all."

I nodded, though I was more focused on the way Batu leapt back and activated that boot enchantment once more, sending out another wave of spikes that sprouted up right in front of him, shielding him from the blades and giving him a brief moment to collect himself as he held the lance right in front of himself, pointing it at the sky and staring at its curved surface. His mana coalesced around the lance, hardening it even more as rock sprouted across its surface, and as soon as it was encased he swung it like a hammer at the barricade in front of him, grunting loudly as the heavy weapon splintered the spiky rocks with frightening ease.

Chunks of stone shot outwards in an arc before him, peppering the surrounding area in shrapnel as he caught the two by surprise, landing a few blows as they tried to dodge this area of effect attack.

Each chunk scraped and battered the gladiators, and that distraction was enough for Batu to leap forwards and slam his lance into Anas’ stomach, crumpling the man in a single blow and dropping him to the floor as he was folded from that, leaving Enta to try and win this duel. Unperturbed by his comrade being taken out so easily after that surprising tactic, Enta dashed forwards and swept his scimitar at Batu’s legs, hindering the bulkier man and forcing Batu to protect himself from the followup swing that threatened to sever his achilles tendon, which would end this battle instantly.

When Batu tried to retaliate, Enta ducked beneath the rocky lance and dashed around the man, using his speed to force Batu to spin around to defend himself from the next cut, that wind coated blade a giant threat even to his enchanted armor thanks to the offensive power that

Wind Magic came with naturally.

Being made to turn took away Batu’s ability to put as much power into his attacks, and it also didn’t help that Enta could control his body far better than the muscular Wekalian, the Caninekin stopping on a dime and turning back around as he bolted to Batu’s other side.

This time, he slammed his elbow into Batu’s back and forced him to stumble forwards, his current posture making that all the more dangerous as he almost fell to the ground, opening up another opportunity for Enta to dash forwards and strike with deadly precision.
