Final check-in: Castle Phoenix

Dark stone bricks crumble and fall, and shatter from the distance as the outer wall of Castle Phoenix is further torn by the claws of the hefty metallic dragon. Copper creations pour into the streets. And worst of all, marching forward is a man coloured gold with weapons all the same--an axe and a shield, below an emotionless familiar face. The ELIS follows behind his army with a slow and steady stride. He does nothing until an axe cuts through the air as it spins towards him. He raises his shield up, however, deflecting it with an audible clang.

Mipa follows through with her ****. That was far from her only axe. She once again has one in each hand, and she leaps through the air to drive them recklessly down into her opponent's body. She merely slams into his shield as well, and he thrusts with all his might to send her flying back onto the ground.

Just as quickly as she fell, she's up again, and is once again bolting into battle with a terrifying growl--as much as one can be from such a tiny body. She spins forward like a whirlwind of steel, first being blocked, though her pivots in to narrowly strike past his leg. Her opponent swings his own axe down at her, but she nimbly dodges away.

Mistress Dajy, a distance away, darts her attention towards the crumbling wall. "Girls! Clean up these streets. I'm taking on the big guy myself," she demands. Her harem doesn't hesitate.

"You aren't finished with me," snarls the hobgoblin. She bashes her mace loudly against her own shield in an attempt to lure Dajy back into their fight. When it doesn't seem to grab her attention, she sneers before lunging in her direction. She swings her weapon, but her balance is knocked out from beneath her by the quick acrobatic movements of yet another succubi.

Though she doesn't fall to the ground, she trips and stumbles by the intervention of Linzeri.

"Go on then. Fight your big guy," Linzeri says to high succubus, though without turning her eyes to meet her gaze. "And I'll take on your sloppy seconds."

"Truly the kindest words you've ever given me," Dajy replies. "Are you going to be all right?"

She grasps a flask of a mysterious red liquid. "The gnome has me covered."

Speaking of which, from a nearby roof, the harpies dash down to snatch something from the top. With the airborne enemies defeated, besides the hulking dragon-like automaton, the harpies are free to make bombing runs with the aid of Dixby. She reaches up with elixir after elixir from a large burlap sack, and each one is snatched by the talons of another harpy. They drop them on the remaining forces, whether they're monster or machines, with little rhyme or reason--chaos, just as Dixby prefers.

Linzeri's, however, is purposeful. As Dajy runs off, and her harem spreads out through Castle Phoenix, she pivots around the hobgoblin with a subtle smirk on her face. She may not be a primary combatant, but all demons are dangerous in a fight. She locks her alluring gaze on the eyes of her opponent, following her movements, but also her feelings and her desires.

The hobgoblin bashes her shield just past her opponent's shoulder. "God damn succubus. Temptress. Demon!" she shouts as she throws hefty, though clumsy swings. It seems she's at least somewhat distracted by her foe's seduction.

Then she finally strikes back. Linzeri slashes with her nails, though a shield is raised in defense. She grabs the rim of it, leaps up, and dunks the potion straight down into the hobgoblin's face. The red liquid splashes over her upper body, causing her to spit and shake her head wildly. It only takes a moment for the concoction to affect her body and mind. Suddenly, she stumbles back. Her face flushes.

"How does it feel~?" Linzeri asks.

"Ah--" She clenches her teeth and winces backwards. Something is bubbling up inside her. However, she runs forward still, albeit with stiff legs.

Linzeri slashes forward. Once again, she's met with a shield, but she leans fully into it, slamming up against it with a loud clank of claws against steel. The moment this happens, she watches her opponent's eyes widen and her body weaken. Her face fully floods with colour as she lets out a quite moan.

"Dixby told me that one opens one's senses in a very unique way. I won't bore you with the details," Linzeri explains. She points to her ear. "Auditory. It stimulates. Have fun."

"Wha--"

Clang! She slams the shield again. The sound causes a rush of pleasure through the hobgoblins body yet another time, weakening her further.

"How does this feel~?" Then she hits the shield again, this time with her heel. Clank!

"Aahhnnn~!" she moans.

Clonk!

"Mmm~!"

Bang!

"Mm, aahh~! S-Stop!"

Every shockwave of sound graces her ears like a vibration over her clit. It isn't long before she can't defend properly any longer.

Linzeri then grabs the rim of her shield and caresses over across her body, sneaking around to her side, then to grab onto her shoulders from behind. She smiles deviously and blows gentle into her ear, causing the hobgoblin to immediately crumble to her knees. "You're weak," she whispers into her ear.

"Aooohhhh..." the hobgoblin whimpers.

"This is what happens when you try and destroy my home."

The barrage of stimulate brings her hands down to the grass as she moans desperately towards the ground--body burning up.

Meanwhile, Dajy hasn't quite made it to her destination.

While she planned on taking on the mysterious ELIS, a hefty wind rushed through the street shortly before the dragon took flight. Then, a crash. She now stands facing the draconic beast, with the golden man on the other side alone with Mipa. She bares her teeth like an angry hound, reading her claw-like nails as her incredible wingspan opens up wide, almost as if she means to assert dominance over her also-winged opponent. Her crimson gaze pierces upwards into the vacant blue glow of the creature's eyes--more vehicle than monster. It may have brought reinforcements, but it does look like it's meant to do more than that. In fact, a high pitched hum rings out as a light appears within its opening maw.

"I suppose I did say I wanted the big guy," she mutters under her breath, but her focus remains on the glow. Something is about to happen, and she has to be ready to react.

A moment later, three blasts of concentrated magic fire out and detonate on collision to the ground and a building behind her, but she thankfully sprints away just in time. Still, it takes a moment for her to recover, and to assess how she's going to take such a heavy foe down.

Behind that is the ELIS. He delivers a swift kick to the torso of Mipa, sending the goblin tumbling back to the ground.

"You're tough," Mipa mumbles as she pulls herself back to her feet. "But I'm gonna protect this pl--"

With one rapid movement, the ELIS lands his axe into Mipa's right upper chest. It sinks in deep, so much so that she's **** to use her own strength to pull herself back off. She falls to the ground with a stream of blood, and while she doesn't scream in pain, she remains on her back with a look of shock in her eyes. She chokes, unable to move, as somebody else's scream is heard nearby.

"Mipa!" Yin calls out in panic. She runs to her body, despite the danger. "Mipa, are you okay?"

"... F-Fine..." the goblin whispers back.

"I'll uhm, I can teleport us both. Maybe. I mean, I don't know if that's actually possible. When I teleport, my belongings come with me, but I've never--" She shakes her head, grasping Mipa tight. "But if you don't come with me, you'll--"

The ELIS looms overheard, brandishing his axe. He speaks no words and feels no emotion, but stares down at the two of them, ready to strike.

But then, he freezes. If he were to experience pain, there would be a yelp of pain, as something has sunken into his back.
