Jack stared at the four broken bodies that had cratered into the scorched earth around him.
Four Nightmare-class demons. All critically injured. All removed from the battle in seconds.
'What the hell just happened?'
[DING!]
[Status Update: Battlefield Analysis]
[8 Nightmare-class entities detected with critical injuries]
[1 Nightmare-class entity: Enraged State]
[1 Nightmare-class entity: Deceased]
[Warning: Enraged entity combat effectiveness increased by 50%]
Jack's mind raced. Eight injured nightmare demons?
How was this possible?
'System, what caused this?'
[It seems like the disaster class entity gave you a present]
Jack squinted toward the northern ridge, then the west. Trying to make sense of what had just happened.
The distance was too great. Shapes moved against the crimson sky, maybe a figure, maybe just rocks, but nothing clear enough to identify.
The momentary distraction cost him everything.
Something punched through his armor from behind.
