<span class="bbc_u"><strong>Anansil vs Brymril</strong></span><br/><br/>As Anansil replied, the injured hezrous are finished off in shadowy wave traveling through them. She cast glitterdust in the area instant after the feigned attack from shadow happened and anticipated on Brymril's actual move. The dust landed, clinging on the shadow which everyone can see now and briefly there was another Brymril so figure covered in the dust. However with shadowy flash he appears other side of the battlefield, glittering but none Anansil minions somereason cannot see him (while Anansil does). So far what Anansil enhanced sight could reveal, it was not matter of traveling physically between targets, but rather pop in here and there. Simply teleporting to each one, much similar like how Torahime had battled the angels earlier. Similar.<br/><br/>The telepathic reply from Brymril came calmly;<em>"Hmmm, clever. But soon dust will be gone. If humiliation would not be appreciated, then I would not be in here first place. But I do intent finish off Methu for good...not just kill him. Eternal banishment to well of darkness will do."</em><br/><br/><em>Meanwhile</em><br/><br/>The army outside is bombardment more by Cloud of Darkness, killing one cerebriliths and more demons slain near them and Torahime's clones cut through more cerebriliths, but still army remains proceeding to Soul Casket while other half remains around the sphere. However Vholdran, present with Torahime speaks to her; "The other cerebriliths have now prepared a counter against your clones and teleporting near them. Some have planned teleport instant they sense it and others lockdown your clones inside seals which block all their powers if they enter anywhere near them. Kill cerebrilith true, but they will become trapped."<br/><br/>Famine continues on his harvest of souls (or try hunt them really). However there is suddenly weird thing going on....the mercenary demons, they suddenly ambush and attack backlines of the army! Cutting through, steal some siege eguiptment which they had dragged along prepared for siege and ran off?! The other army roars in anger but the mercenaries are slippery bunch and leave the scene rapidly. Dretches look nervous but they are bullied forward, army continues it's march and merciless sacrifice of their minions on fodder.<br/><br/>The army is not going stopping, Vholdran smirks and replies; "Now is time play my card reserved for this battle.....I am more than just informer." Vholdran places his palm onto ground and starts to chant.....while wielding staff in his hand which starts empower his spell.....it's a<em>earthquake</em>spell. However as he finishes the spell, it seems not target the army as none demons nor dretches topple over but ground does indeed shake....and suddenly enormous sinkhole (https://imgix.ranker.com/user_node_img/50025/1000484988/original/berezniki-sinkhole-photo-u2?w=650&q=50&fm=jpg&fit=crop&crop=faces) appears it swallows up the army! Several demons fall and they attempt teleport....but their magic fails as in walls of sinkhole are placed dimensional anchors, multiple of them! Demons screams as they fall into hole, but what's more, enormous crack splits from sinhole towards nearby river of souls....and forms a side current as suddenly the crack opens and allows water rush in! Demons who survived are bottom, trapped by rubble, when suddenly water engulfs them and drowns them in! Almost entire front line of dretches is gone (just pitiful five hundred left) and now there is long lined moat line splitting Soul Casket and the army, Vholdran chuckles and says; "I am architect of destruction." With that Vholdran lifts his palm, starting walk away from the council room and proceed towards the dungeons by his own phase. As he does so, soon War walks in to main council chamber, taking then passage which leads to Echidna's own dungeons.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Echidna's dungeon</strong></span><br/><br/>As Echidna prepares move things, War gets busy and collects offerings and hurries them to Cathredal where they will be preserved. Bloody trophies and perhaps more in future. Amber coffin other hand would take all his effort carry and drag in intact. The angels listened Echidna, they did show surprise on news on Grazz'zt army and Rafael replies; "No, we did not know.....only knew about fiends inside the castle." As Echidna communes to archon lanterns, they do not reply but Echidna can sense terror in them. They are terrified for sure and will spread news of event to heaven once they get there. No doubt Vholdran already figured them a safe departure as leaving fleeing enemies to spread tale can demoralize heaven from sending quick response team. Take longer time to prepare as they try they all gather intel about these new fiends.<br/><br/>As Echidna transports the devas and chains them, thanks mutilation of Arames left nothing to place chain on. Only scraps of skin and dripping hole which already is healing close but not restoring what was torn off. As Echidna asks about Thermes from Arames he replies; "He was most devoted but was never romantic, so not sure did he choose heart because of devotion or as romantic gesture in his fall. But I can see the symbolic meaning of romance and devotion combined with his gesture mistress."<br/><br/>As Echidna grabs on Araces, he gasps and grunts, huskily from her firm but loving grip on his shaft which is chained to Rafael (as Arames lacked cock and Thermes body was in cathredal). He replies; "We know each other, we served as same unit under Solana for past eight hundred years and know hundred years before that through casual meetings. Brothers in arms. I worked hard to be good warrior in service." Thanks tearing his arm he needed only one manacle to his remaining hand, remaining stumb had stopped bleeding and it was his dominant hand which had wielded the mace.<br/><br/>As Echidna returns question Arames, while Araces is enjoying the attention of Echidna's hand and shamelessly his cock throbs, dripping celestial pre-cum from perfectly shaped and sized cock. Arames shivers on the touch on him, in delight he replies; "Yes, I am sure other brothers had more than once visited the baths of archons but I myself I had only one dedicated lover, fellow deva. But she fell in battle ages ago and I had tried fill the void with indulgence and dedication....swinging other emotion to next in neverending wheel." As Echidna grabbed his backside, he grunts and replies; "I can agree mistress, both methods of pleasure and methods how some angels dealt with sexual corruption. Not place on chastity or denial but find purity in act when doing it with loved one. Nor excess nor push lust above other ideals."<br/><br/>Then Rafael who had remained blinded and without attention for while, only chain on his cock base. As all four Echidna's hands stroked him, some smeared by pre-cum from Araces, he groans and shivers, replying; "I-I hope I can be in service mistress! Good slave for your whims!" Echidna can notice something perhaps rare from a angle.....he's blushing?! His emerald cheeks are darker and his tone sounded more nervous.....perhaps bit shy and hesitant? Baths he indeed had visited but does Echidna have in hands a<em>virgin</em>and blinded deva?! So far Araces and Arames displayed more experience under her hands, Rafael holds some more youthful semblance to response to her hands. Bit innocence perhaps.<br/><br/>At this time War brings the sacrophagi, Conquest following him. So far Torahime had desired stay behind and saw Vholdran leave meaning army is soon done and so all threats had been neutralized. So as Echidna is done and leaving to dungeons, War left amber sacrophagi in their quarters in front of imprisoned devas and move to dungeons alongside Conquest.<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u"><strong>In the dungeons with Solana</strong></span><br/><br/>Everyone in dungeon (and Echidna) hear Vholdran's voice (not counting prisoners);<em>"Wait for bit for everyone to arrive there before taking our old forms. Battle with Grazz'zt troops will be sealed to our favor one way or other now. Only key is now how Anansil deals with Brymril, she has tools to do so. I know your inpatient, eager even, but breaking a solar and more exalted one takes lot more than just some common tricks. More so as her body makes her invulrenable to physical corruption and keeps her eternal virgin state, as she has oath of chastity taken as sacred vow. So her baptism protects her virginity as well and from penetration in sexual manner, but you can try inflict her with pleasure and make her break her oath. Baptism however remains until she falls and then she looses it's protection as she falls. If she falls, heaven will loose interest rescuing her and would rather slay her and then her soul will be basked in darkness and reborn in abyss instead. So she will not spill the secret of our return."</em><br/><br/><em>Earlier</em><br/><br/>As Alactra spoke to Solana, she had merely glared and tried again break free! Her struggles will accompany the conversation carried out by Alactra and lady Ungrath as she with growls and celestial curses tries break free!<br/><br/><em>Present</em><br/><br/>As Syncope arrives, Solana had focused on escaping than much listening the conversation. But as Ungrath turns around, strangling her, she stared defiantly her with frown. As Ungrath slid her appendage in, Solana tried spit, bite and shake it off. As Ungrath strangles and also fills her throat with her appendage, she struggles long while, gagging and drooling unvoluntarily to the unwanted gag, but it is matter of time before her eyes start waver, then roll suddenly in her head and her body go slack. She showed no resistance as Nyag'thon entered, it was spacey for sure, but it caused great deal of sense of discomfort to be housed in celestial body. Especially exalted blessed solar who also had somekind divine baptims going on which affects also parts of her internal organs. So very uncomfortable experience.
