My Servant System

"Well, I can't be outdone, right?"

Smirking to myself, I sheathed my dagger and started tracing two different runes at once, my hands flickering about as I rapidly cast two separate enchantments, one being my full body Water Cloak and the other being a better version of the gales covering my hands and feet, granting an even greater boost to my speed.

With the Water Cloak in place, I was confident to take at least one fire attack, giving me a slight cushion when fighting this large fire lizard, while the wind was just to enhance my speed.

Redrawing my dagger, I coated it in ice again before dashing forwards, running beside Jahi as she charged at the lizard.

"Hmm... Not bad..."

Smirking at us, he raised his hands, summoning a pillar of flames between his palms, which solidified into a long, jagged blade.

"For a bunch of brats!"

Swiping the blade out, I grunted as I narrowly rolled under it, while Jahi growled as she slammed her own blade against his, a sharp clang reverberating around the room.

He frowned slightly, only to shake his head as the jagged blade shrunk, causing Jahi to stumble forwards, her sword no longer locked on his.

Readjusting the length again, Jahi grunted in pain as the lizard swiped the sword towards her side, narrowly blocking his strike with a thick screen of golden light.

However, from here I could hear cracks coming from the plate, and Jahi's strained breathing entered my ears.

Angry that this lizard dared to try and harm Jahi, I shot forwards, pushing more mana towards my feet to boost my speed even more.

Jumping over his swiping tail, I brought my dagger down onto his raised arm, only for my eyes to go wide as the ice barely left a scratch on his red skin.

Pushing me away with his arm, I skidded on the ground before jumping back to my feet, growling softly.

Clicking his tongue, the lizard sneered at me as he inspected the scratch, before growling "Uncivilized dog. You dared to harm ME!?"

Shouting that, he pointed his clawed finger towards me, a fireball coalescing at its tip.

However, before he could shoot it towards me, it exploded in his hand, making the lizard grunt.

When the dust cleared I frowned at his slightly blackened finger, looking more like that fireball had been little more than a candle flame.

Leone stepped beside me, her teeth still elongated into fangs as she stared at the man.

"Fire won't help you here."

Lord Pele just chuckled, continuing to push his blade against Jahi's wall.

"No matter... You'll all die either way!"

Summoning another sword, he grinned widely at us as he slammed it down towards us, leaving a large hole in the floor.

Grabbing Leone, I jumped backwards, barely avoiding the serrated edge.

"Careful."

She nodded gratefully to me, before hesitantly removing herself from my arms.

"I will be..."

Ignoring her slightly crimson cheeks, I turned back to the lizard, wondering when Anput-

As soon as the thought crossed my mind, a loud bang echoed around the room, all of us staring as a silver blur rocketed towards the red skinned man.

Removing his blades from Jahi's wall and the floor, Lord Pele intercepted Anput's glowing blade, grunting under the weight of her blow.

Dashing forwards again, Jahi and I avoided his tail and started hacking away at his scaled legs, making him curse.

"DAMNIT! STOP MESSING WITH ME!"

Letting out another shout, we all were pushed back by a blast of fire mana, which lightly singed our flesh, even through the Mana Cloaks we wore.

Jahi and I used our blades to lessen the push, stabbing them into the floor and skidding to a halt, while Anput slammed her steel coated fist into the floorboards, stopping herself quickly before shooting back towards him.

Nodding at one another, Jahi and I joined Anput again, our blades rising and falling swiftly on the lizards scaled legs and exposed torso, scoring some deep gashes.

The bright crimson blood that splashed to the ground sizzled, and all three of us avoided the droplets as best we could, not knowing if they were poisonous or just extremely hot.

Lord Pele was shouting in anger, slamming his swords around the building haphazardly, scouring deep gashes in the floors and walls, trying desperately to hit us.

Leone stood in the back, expertly sending various spells hurtling towards the exposed flesh or scales, her fire charring whatever it touched.

Under the onslaught of our blades and magic, Lord Pele could only try and attempt to shake us off, rapidly swinging and twirling his serrated swords around his body while his tail struck out at random, slowly growing more ragged as we blocked his scaled tail with mana coated blades.

His scales were chipped, his skin flayed and charred, while his eyes were alight with fear and anger, constantly roaring and shouting in both pain and rage.

Slicing a deep gash into his abdomen, I watched as my frost started combatting his blood, his red flesh darkening while turning purple in some spots, a thin sheen of ice covering his flesh.

"GAGH! YOU-!"

Jumping backwards, I avoided one of his blades as he stabbed it into the floor, easily sinking it to the hilt.

However, as he left the blade in the floor Jahi stepped towards it, her Imperial Gold and Stygian Silver blade slicing through his thick wrist, severing his hand from his arm.

"ARGH- DAMNIT! JUST DIE!"

Slamming his fist towards her, he could only scream again as Anput's blade scraped across his face, slicing one of his eyes open.

Dashing forwards again, I stabbed my dagger deep into his side, channeling my mana into the blade and pushing my frost into his lung.

His breathing became labored, and after twisting the blade I jumped away, standing beside Anput, Jahi, and Leone as we watched Lord Pele grab at his side, wheezing.

"You..."

Stumbling to the side, the large lizard collapsed, still panting as he stared at us in hatred.

"You damn... ack... damnit, I was supposed to rule..!"

Leone sneered at him, growling "You threatened to rule MY Empire, kill MY mother, and dared to lay your hands on MY wife?! You were just meant to die!"

I shivered behind her, watching the sparks flying from her hair grow in magnitude.

Raising her hand, Leone spat out "Bu those sparks flying towards his body rapidly.

As each one landed on his skin, they exploded, causing chunks of flesh to fly around before catching fire.

He started screaming again, desperately patting at the spreading flames on his body with his one hand and stump, only helping it scatter.

It took just a few moments, but eventually he fell silent, the only sound in the room being the crackling of flames.

We all stared at the burning corpse with mixed emotions, before letting out groans as our spells dropped, the mana exhaustion taking immediate effect.

Stumbling over to Jahi, I leaned on her arm before smiling at Leone, who's face was now a deep red.

"I um... Well, I-"

She was stuttered, making Jahi and I laugh.

"Leone~!"

Walking over to her, I pulled her into a hug, only to feel Jahi wrap her arms around us a moment later.

"Good job everyone~!"

We all chuckled, Anput joining us swiftly as she nuzzled into Jahi's side.

Enjoying the warmth of each other, as well as the relief that we were all alright, I forgot to check one tiny, little detail.

Where was my system notification?

---

So, thing is is that I'm starting a new book and getting it up to the contract requirements before my adobe subscription runs out. (Not putting it behind a paywall anytime soon, just wanting to get it contracted so I have that option eventually, maybe.)

I know, I have a slight problem considering my other two originals are both collecting dust, but...

Its been an idea I've had for awhile, but after reading two books (in this comment) I wanted to do my own spin on their idea.

It'll be called 'Reincarnated as the Only Human', and it'll be a smut book; both pure Yuri and Futa, only females in the entire book.

It's just a survival smut book, with the MC doing what she can to survive while being pursued by the various non-humans in that world, both romantically and violently.

So yeah, look for that to be released later today, and no, it does not mean any other novels will be dropped; I think they'll all stay the same release schedule.

Servant everyday, Kunoichi's every other, Priestess and Milan twice/thrice a week, and Ker once a week. This new one will likely be a twice/thrice a week upload...

Again, sorry, but I just want to get it out to help my own creative flow because it'll help spice up what I'm writing.

Thank you all, and sorry for the slightly shorter chapter.
