Hang em high

Imitating a cheesy western, Midnight dropped his tentacles in a loop over both the mages necks before pulling it tight and up. Their eyes went wide

"Illumirrhhrrk." The female mage was cut off as the noose tightened and lifted her into the air. While their comrades feet danced, the remaining 9 people shifted their gaze upwards. There was his moment. With a quick sideways snap, Midnight killed the advisor he had been using as a shield and let him hit the ground. In the next moment, he dashed forward and ghosted his hand through the second behemoths chest. As the rest of the room turned to look, he gave a grim smile and solidified his hand, impaling the giants heart. As he let the body fall, he took stock of the situation. 8 people remaining and only 3 were armed. Time to make this simple.

"All of you surrender and I'll spare the mages." The female mage seemed like she was trying to encourage them to fight, but it was difficult to tell when she couldnt speak and was kicking so much. Unfortunately, it seemed the three generals were not buying it as they tightened their grips on their weapons. Shit, he didnt have alot of time before these mages would die anyway. Time to get drastic. "Why do you insist on fighting? Do you think I'm not serious??" With cold efficiency he impaled the male mage with three tentacles and watched as their eyes went wide as he died. "I assure you, I am. THROW YOUR WEAPONS DOWN!"

As you shout, the remaining leaders surrender,and the generals throw their weapons down at his feet.

"Thats more like it." Lowering the surviving mage until her feet touch the ground, he kept the noose around her neck while the other tentacles grabbed the assortment of weapons and put them in his inventory. "Now, you all are going to take a nice pleasant trip to my domain. And while you are there, I want you to think on something. When I return, the spoils of war will be divided among the demon army. If any of you elect to be my slaves by the time I get back, simply kneel when we next meet."

"What??" The female general spluttered. "We would never submit as slaves to you." Appraising her, Midnight was fairly impressed. With the slight build and black cloak, she looked less like a swordsman and more like an assassin. Seems this one commanded the castle black guard. While small in stature, he could still see the gentle curves under her cloak and her modest c-cups. How great would it be to play around with her? "Just think about it like this. There is a whole demon army out there, and I'm the devil you know." Brandishing his tentacles in a semicircle, he herded them towards his portal, making sure to grab his **** plaything as well. As the female mage was the last to go through, he pulled the noose tight and yanked her back. As she made contact with his body, he began running smaller tentacles up and down her body. Struggling against biology, he could hear her heavy panting and feel her squirm deliciously in his grasp. Leaning in close, he nibbled on her ear as she stifled a whimper. "Be nice to my house." And with that he released and pushed her through as it shut.

Taking a breath, he took stock of himself. He had taken a serious hit back there from that ice magic. Thanks to his erosarkic side, he would recover in an hour, but for now, he would have to be careful. This was where it all could go to shit. But he had made off alright. He had meant to capture all the leaders but killing the male who had hit him with the ice beam was way too satisfying for him to regret now. Plus the women would make excellent additions to his house of pleasure. He didnt really feel like sharing them, so he would probably turn the males over to Halicarnassus. As he heard clanging of heavy armor, he turned around just as a trio of guards barged through the shattered door and whipped three sharpened tentacles through them. Two died immediately, but the third spun and managed to get away with a stab right through his arm. As he watched this young soldier go wide eyed at the carnage and littered bodies, Midnight just couldnt help himself. "Tell me, do you know what a rabbit is?" The soldier seemed caught off guard, but slowly nodded. "Good, because i have two secrets for you. 1. I am a reincarnation from another world." There it was, the fear, the awe, as if he were a god to this man. Not far off. "2. I loved hunting rabbits." The man was terrified by whatever you were but didnt seem to understand what the conversation was about. Inwardly Midnight sighed. How did these people function? Well, time to illuminate him. "So...little rabbit, what do you think you should be doing right now?" As the man realized his role, his eyes went wide as he scrambled to his feet and took off running. Finally. With a inward smile, he left the man to go sow chaos and dove through the floor. Raquel should be handling the main banquet hall right about now, while Malena and Dana went to lower the bridge and open the door for the demon army. Time to make the last big push.
