The night began to slowly fade, the sun was rising. Entering the Shaded Woods, both Desmond and Caitlyn made their way towards the scent that leaked afar. Caitlyn grew weary.
Caitlyn: Stop, we stay at this perimeter. Whatever's out there, it can't enter from here, but it know we're on the way. It's setting up a trap.
Desmond: I don't give a damn about a trap, I'll freeze whatever they've got in store.
Caitlyn: You can't, whatever their planning, it will affect the Village as a whole. I'm sure of it, I've dealt with evil in these woods. And I know this thing, it feeds.
A leaf crinkled as footsteps approached, from the darkish-light came two figures. Corpse and Void.
The Sewers
Samo Hatu: I'm sure the village il' be alright. Not like that's my job, I'm here to take her out. And whatever happens to those damn elves, fuck it. Not my problem at all.
The murky water began to bubble, as an almost thrilling sensation fluttered throughout the sewers. A roar grew larger and larger, as an amalgamation crept the corner. An alligator like beast, with horns, and six times sat between Samo Hatu and his target. This amalgom was known as 'Wyro'.
Melania: Oh, Wyro- please bring me the Wolfs head.
Samo Hatu: *Tch* Where the hell are ya' lady? You damn freak- you bastard killing machine. THIS IS FUNNY TO YOU? HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW WHAT I AM?
Melania: Wolf Knight, Samo Hatu- S Rank Hunter. You're Master is Duvona, the queen Huntress. You are 22 years old, and don't know where you belong.
Samo Hatu: GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HEAD LADY, YOU HEAR ME- GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HEAD.
Melania: Wyro, please do take your time digesting his bones once you've brought me the head.
The Shaded Woods | The Battlefield
Caitlyn: They're Demons, no... Not just demons, Empowered ones at that. They have a higher power among them- a master or an enchanter. Which one?
Desmond: Demons? I've never seen one before, only a Dragon- when I was a boy. A drake, and a wyvern. But...Never a Demon.
Caitlyn: Are you strong boy? Desmond- Are. You. Strong?
Desmond: I hope so, for geezers sake, *tch* for the sake of the elves.
Caitlyn: Okay then, Alchemical Body Armour- Swordsman Magic Art - BRUTAL SLASH OF A THOUSAND SUNS
Void: AHHH, An Alchemist, an Enchantress, and a Swordsman. Aren't you a bundle of joy?
Desmond: (in his head) Holy crap, I knew this chick was gonna be strong. But, she makes me look like a chump compared.
Corpse: I'll take on the boy, I ain't messin' with no Alchemist enchanter watchama- whatever. I'll fight this weak boy okay?
Void: No, we'll fight together, although you are weak and cowardly Corpse. You have something I need to vaporize these two.
Corpse: Dang it, I wanted to kill the weak boy and eat em'. I'M HUNGRY FOR GOSH SAKE.
Void: Quit Yer' whining, we have some humans to kill. So stop messing around and show them the power of a Demon.
Corpse: DEVIL ART - FLAME BREATH OF THE VOID - 99 HEAT HAVE
Orbs of light, flickering, bursting around the two- barely dodging. Desmond being struck by an orb while attempting to dodge. He flung back towards Caitlyn, catching him- she stood the boy up.
Desmond: *Guhh* Thanks, that guys no joke. I gotta watch out- *tch* Dammit, I gotta stop being so weak.
Caitlyn: It's life of death, whatever's got you holding back, USE THAT AND GET ANGRY FOR GODS SAKE. SWORDSMANS PIERCE - GIFTED REINFORCEMENT - SEVEN STARS
A reign of enchanted arrows layered with dagger at each end struck towards the Demons. Void dodging without hesitation, Corpse was left wounded. The arrows exploding on contact, and piercing through his protective layer. He grew enraged as his face blistered and boiled.
Corpse: I'M SO EXCITED, KEEP IT COMING YOU DAMN HUMAN. I'LL KILL YOU AND EAT YOU WHOLE.
Void: STOP IT YOU IDIOT, GET BACK. WE HAVE TO DO THIS NOW- YOU IDIOT.
Corpse ran towards Caitlyn without a second thought, enraged as his skin boiled and his bloated blood began to leak from his body.
Corpse: I'LL KILL YOUUU.
Void: YOU IDIOT, THE ATTACK ISN'T OVER.
A final string, an arrow launched from behind the trees, a bright shimmer as a dagger laced in elven array pierced through the head of Corpse. Meanwhile, Desmond had entered position.
Void: You stupid... Stupid idiot. Getting yourself killed like that, you damn wretch.
Turning around Void had realized he was surrounded, on one side was Desmond, and the other Caitlyn. The two on two had officially became a two on one.
Void: I wasn't even able to mess around, not even toy you with a bit. All because the idiot got angry and got himself killed. I WON'T FAIL LADY MELANIA, I LOVE HER TOO MUCH.
Desmond: Save it, I've been fueling myself this entire time, as well as being empowered by Lady Caitlyn. Whatever you're tryna do here- It's over. You're done for Demon.
Void: I suppose I have to skip the fun of showing off my Demon Art... Oh what a pity.
DEMON AWAKENING - BLOOD STAINED PERFUME
Caitlyn: An...awakening... Desmond RUN NOW.
Desmond: No way, Awakening Magic. How, he's a Demon, even if he's being empowered- what the hell is going on here?
Void: I forgot to mention, I'm not a Demon, I'm a Devil. My strength is on Par with my Masters, which means- I can Awaken by consuming the souls of my comrades.
Desmond: YOU USED YOU'RE FRIENDS AS A WAY TO GET STRONGER? YOU KNEW HE WAS GONNA DIE- AND YOU JUST USED HIM? YOU BASTARD.
Caitlyn: He's a demon, they don't care for one another. They only want power, and to feast on other creatures.
Void: It was fun watching you two dance around Corpse, but this ends now. I have many many bodies to carry to Melania, and not much time. You do understand, don't you?
The Sewers
Samo Hatu: Slow down you damn beast, Come one Wyro, Wyro, Wyro. CALM THE HELL DOWN.
The beast chased Samo throughout the sewers, bloodied up legs followed behind the Hunter.
Samo Hatu: *tch* (in his head) I can't beat this thing if it keeps coming at me like this. This, fucking thing... It's not like a regular demon, or even a Devil. It's a hybrid, it's a damn monster. I gotta find an opening fast or it'll take me out.
Wyro stopped, a grim smile Luring over the Hunter, the sharp stained teeth, and growls of a class SS+ beast echoed. There was only one thing to do.
Samo Hatu: What the hell man... I can't beat this thing with just my ability. I gotta dig deeper, all for a damn catch- *tch*. Fuck the ego for now, this thing'll kill me if I don't go for it. Just gotta figure something else out for the Devil chick.
Wyro: *GURGLE GURGLE PURGLE*
Samo Hatu: Yeah, I hear ya'- Loud. And. Clear. Just follow me a bit more, I got something special just for you.
The beast grew angry again, and within a moments notice began the chase once again
Melania: I'm almost there, my abilities will reach 110%, and then- not one human will be able to stop. Nor Wolf, nor beast, nor... You get the point.
The Shaded Woods
Void: You've decided to stay, after my Awakening? How thoughtful, I'd figure you humans run by now. For us Demons are the stronger species after all.
Caitlyn: Desmond, you okay with getting hurt, and I mean REAL hurt.
Desmond: Whatever I gotta do to stop this guy.
Caitlyn: Good, then show me what you're about, cause we aren't getting out of here unscaved.
Desmond: Sounds good to me.
With that, the two had began battle with the Awakened Void, Samo Hatu had began preparations to take care of Wyro. And Melania would finally reach 110%...
