[color=purple][i]"LIIIIIEEES! I saw her die, that's just not possible!"[/i][/color], even though the Broodmother had said that, she seemed to doubt those words even a little bit. After all, to an underling that treated Silitha like a god, it was entirely possible. Still while it was getting to her, it only agitated her further, using her giant legs to crush the area where the Nephilim stood in an attempt to attack, before flinging some more webbing. The Broodlings simply crowded up and gave chase.

[color=purple][i]"Silitha is no more and I now take her place! You Nephilim scum will pay!"[/i][/color]

As the skirmish raged around them, their sprint towards the artifact was littered with the crossfire of the fight, whether it was angels firing, or both parties' colossal weapons destroying the place. It was destructive enough to make an archaeologist cry. Regardless, they had the opportunity to go for their goal. Upon reaching it, the battle began to favor the angels, the Army of Light soldiers, though they lost one, had banded together in formation and easily took out the Hideous, while the Champion continued to fight the Hatred.

As Akoni attempted to make a warp gate to grab the artifact from afar, the magic was immediately blocked. That power radiating from the orb... It was preventing him from being able to use his gate, but it wasn't like it erased it or anything, it was more like... It was so dense that no other magic could occupy the space around it. They'll have to actually pick it up by hand.

[i]"Cease at once humans! Or we WILL cut you down!"[/i] he managed, before blocking yet another assault from the demon.

As Lily's disguise was blown, the lesser angels seemed ready to jump, weapons at the ready. As her true form came to light, one of the angels recognized her from before.

[i]"I-It's her! There must be more of them, she wasn't alone"[/i], great, there seemed to be no use in keeping Fenn and Souta hidden now, though they weren't seen just yet, so maybe there is some advantage to be had here. The air tensed as the angels kept their hands on the trigger, it seems as part of training they immediately now take orders from the commanding angel present, this being Zarrath. Fight or let it slide for now? The choice was up to Zarrath, or Lily should she simply decide to attack, but considering the information they gleamed, there is no point in fighting them now.

[i]"Th-there were two others... Demon, where are they?! I know they're with you, hiding around here somewhere!"[/i] in a panic the lesser angel was the one making demands. There were roughly five Army of Light soldiers here, three of which came from the vanguard that Lily, Fenn and Souta slaughtered earlier, the other two were posted here as guards.

As Blair sneaked around, being fairly deep in the Angel side of territory, beside her was the demon, Madamma Enepsigos, though thanks to her they can basically take a stroll in this side of the woods.

[color=gray][i]"Hmmmm, if this place wasn't teeming with demons and angels, I'd be rather happy making this a holiday retreat, wouldn't you agree?"[/i][/color]

[color=gray][i]"Well, in any case I can consider that later once all it's current occupants are evicted. I've caught wind of something a bit interesting"[/i][/color], she began. That's right, her control of the area around them lets her receive information too, allowing her to eavesdrop without much difficulty.

[color=gray][i]"The angels appear to be looking for 'keys' to a door of some kind, apparently there are three keys. Looks like they already have one of them, found the location of one, and the third one they have a lead on, but some spider demons are clogging the way. As commander of this op, it'll be up to you what to do"[/i][/color], she informed. There were two obvious choices for Blair right now... Wait and hide at the door and strike once they have all three keys, or find the other two keys and force her way in for the third which is likely under guard. Either way, it seemed many forces were on the move in this forest, things were volatile but they can still move freely, as not even demons can notice her thanks to Enepsigos' skills.
