Well, you wouldn't want to disappoint the dragon...

The succubus, realizing that her hold on you has been broken, swiftly speaks an arcane word and extends her hand towards you. As she does, you feel an immense weight press down on your shoulders, forcing you to keep your kneeling position.

But not for long.

You soon get your feet properly set, and begin to push back against the magical weight on your shoulders.

The succubus recoils in horror, and for good reason, because although it is slow, you are rising.

She speaks once more, and the **** on you redoubles, but it does not stop you.

The moment you stand fully upright, the magical **** upon your back abates. the succubus has abandoned her magical **** for a physical one.

You casually block her first three punches, but she is fast, and her fourth one gets through, landing squarely across your jaw. Your head snaps to the side, and she seems to be satisfied with herself for landing a hit. Little does she know that you barely felt it.

Seeing that you have let your guard drop, she quickly closes and strikes your face again, and once more the effect is almost non-existant.

She punches you two more times before you, having tired of this game, decide to end it. your hands move in a flash, snapping up to her head and locking around her horns.

Her eyes widen as she realizes her mistake, but you don't give her time to act on this newfound knowledge.

With a mighty roar, you slam your forehead into hers. It hurts. It hurts a lot.

It must have hurt her more though, as her eyes roll back into her head, and her body goes limp, now held up only by your grip on her horns.

Once you are sure she is ****, you drop her to the ground.

You turn to find both Kyra and Cassandra looking at you with awe. You raise an eyebrow quizzically, and after a short silence Kyra speaks.

"Ulric, wha- how did you do that?"

"I'll explain later, right now we need to handle her" You respond, gesturing to the succubus. "Kyra, see that bag over there?" She nods, her gaze following your pointing finger to your travel bag in the far corner. "Inside is a collar made of black steel. Bring it to me, I think I have found the perfect use for it."
