  1. The Demon was hidden in its favorite spot for an ambush, slumbering, waiting.
  2.  
  3. Overhearing the footsteps, the Demon was quick to jump out, its gaze immediately pointed at the source of a sound- apparently, that was Vesper, and the beady eyes took a little bit of time to examine her.
  4.  
  5. It appears that the woman has arrived at the bad time, too- those maddening crimson eyes of the Demon were almost lit up, clearly hungering for new flesh, for new portion of blood and mana alike. With that, the swarm was summoned, those large Occultic-influenced bugs compelled by the Demon through telepathy.
  6.  
  7. 'Feast. Devour.'
  8.  
  9. It was the only telepathic command, combined with Occultic influence, that was already enough to command these insects to its will.
  10.  
  11. "It is- you..."
  12.  
  13. "You will make- a fine- meal..."
  14.  
  15. Before Vesper could possibly negotiate out of her position, or say anything whatsoever, the Demon was already attacking.
  16.  
  17. The only thing she has left is to defend herself.
  18. (Murmux)
  19.  
  20. Vesper found herself traveling - she was in need of ore, of herbs. A constant influx to sell back to whomever would pay for it.
  21.  
  22. She seemed to ripple and flicker in time, jolting forward over and over, warping through time, a clone following suit, though it was near impossible to distinguish the two. Her ears perked up - though this wasn't vocally projected.
  23.  
  24. Vesper hurled herself backwards, sword tearing its way from its sheath, saying nothing as the demon assaulted her.
  25.  
  26. Consume, huh...
  27. (Vesper)

  98.  
  99. She was taken so off-guard that she couldn't quite properly defend herself. Thrown backwards by howling gales and blinded by poisons.
  100.  
  101. There was a violent warp, pale green light shining from a suddenly visible rune on her forehead. The damage done was gone - a vicious look in her eye, grin on her face.
  102.  
  103. Forward she dashed, flickering as a claw would've impacted her, the blow passing through empty air. Holy lightning glittered through the sky, impacting the demon with bolt after bolt, chipping away carapace, slaying the lesser creatures that got in her way.
  104.  
  105. Her blade danced forward, clashing across the insect-demons abdomen, cutting it open.
  106.  
  107. Sight vanished with her grin - returning only with her blade beneath the chin of the demon. "Destiny chose me, Demon." She spoke with conviction, clearly confident in her words.
  108.  
  109. The blade suddenly pulled back, the girl turning away. "You should come talk to me - without the claws - some time. I need strong allies."
  110. (Vesper)
  111.  
  112. It appears the control over insects that were influenced by Occult was still inferior.
  113.  
  114. Despite the shredding potential of Kaor in terms of using wind and poison magics, there was still endurance that pulled Vesper through the tough battle with the Demon- she was able to preserve herself from falling apart despite the forceful winds and putrid acid sprayed on her.
  115.  
  116. And that much spelled defeat to the Demon.
  117.  
  118. Its swarm was damaged and fleeing behind the chitin of the Demon, and in protest, it voiced the telepathic to the insects, as if trying to draw them back into battle.
  119.  
  120. 'Get. Back. To fight.'
  121.  
  122. Such protest, however, was interrupted; the Kaor had its abdomen slashed, but to Vesper's surprise, it didn't get damaged as much as she'd probably expect it to - the chitin of insectoid was sturdy enough to sustain the damage, proving these wounds to be nothing but minor inconvenience, soon to heal.
  123.  
  124. "Hhhhhhhhhhhhhh--"
  125.  
  126. It moved backwards from the blade of a girl, its beady eyes inspecting the woman. Frustrated due to lack of feeding, and the failure of its swarm, it was quick to exclaim.
  127.  
  128. "Not today- it seems..."
  129.  
  130. Quite disappointed that there's no mana to be fed to its swarm, it continued speaking.
  131.  
  132. "--Fine. Perhaps- another time- then."
  133.  
  134. But the Demon did not choose to linger after its defeat. If Vesper had anything else to add, she'd be already speaking to the leaving Demon with its back turned- it's probably not a good idea to pursue the Demon either, considering its already in a foul mood.
  135. (Murmux)
