Point-of-View: Fenris Hunt

———————————————————————————

"Damn it, stay still and let me kill you! I have no interest in wasting my time on a disgusting male!" Snapped the Demon, firing out a Negative Blast at me, which I evaded and countered by firing out slashes from my claws.

She leapt away to evade it, getting even more agitated as my slashes left deep cuts across her left arm. For a Demon, damage like that is basically nothing. But she seems really fixated on targeting Petra, and definitely wants to end her fight with me as soon as possible.

But in my Crimson Werewolf form, that’s gonna be a heck of a lot easier said than done for her, because I’m just a small bit more powerful than she is.

I then shot towards her, ducking as she swung black flames at my head as I closed in on her, before getting low and rapidly driving my right foot up towards her.

My heel slammed onto her chin and send her flying up and back, before she halted herself in midair by spreading out her wings, right before I sprang up and grabbed her tail, swinging her back down towards the ground with a swift, powerful tug.

She let out an alarmed yelp, followed by a pained gasp, as I slammed her onto the ground with immense force, cracks spreading out from under her as puffs of dust burst out upon impact. Now, then, I need to finish her off quickly and go back up the twins...they’re slowly but surely starting to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of their opponents.

"Time for you to die," I remarked, as I charged up my claws.

"Tch, I cannot believe that I...that I have to resort to this against a male!" She cried furiously, as she suddenly grabbed my ankle, right before a small, dark dome formed around us, my body freezing up and unable to move, as she slowly got back onto her feet and dusted herself off, "This is my Unique Technique: Torture Chamber.

This is so humiliating...I prefer to use this exclusively on young maidens, I cannot believe that this is happening. I must wipe out all traces of you, that way, it will be like you never existed, meaning that I never used this on a male!"

Uh...what? She’s got some seriously major issues. But more importantly...I can’t move! And she’s charging up an alarmingly powerful ball of Negative energy, I’ll be in serious trouble if that hits me.

Come on...move! I need to move, damn it, before it’s too late! I let out a deep growl as I felt my fur standing up, aggression rising up inside me faster and faster, before surging as I inadvertently unleashed my Aura with a feral roar, my fingers twitching slightly as I began to break free of the paralysis, the Demon’s eyes widening in alarm and disbelief as I let out a vicious snarl.

"You’re gonna regret this...!" I growled menacingly, my right arm starting to lift as I bared my fangs. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Y-you disgusting mutt, just die!" She snapped in fear and rage, driving the swirling Negative Blast straight towards me.

Right in the nick of time, I broke free of the paralysis and grabbed her forearm right as the blast began to make contact with my chest, swiftly snapping her forearm upwards with a loud crack, eliciting a scream of pain from her as I broke the bone, the Negative Blast she’d charged up dissipating, followed by the dome barrier she’d formed.

I then tore her arm off with a violent twist as I embraced the feral aggression surging inside me, maintaining control of myself without succumbing to it.

I then viciously bashed her head with the arm I tore off, sending her stumbling back before I grabbed her collar and pulled her back towards me, tearing open her throat with my claws.

She let out a choked wheeze as blood gushed out of her neck, before a gurgling scream escaped her lips as I gouged out her eyes, crushing them. Time to end this, I’ve indulged my animalistic desires enough.

"What was it that you said before? Stay still and let me kill you, I think it was...now, it’s time for you to do exactly that," I remarked with a slight growl.

I then plunged my claws into her chest and unleashed a relentless barrage of slashes right into her body, cuts appearing all over her as blood gushed out, my slashes inflicting damage faster than she could heal.

"N-no, this can’t be...!" She cried, as her body started to disintegrate, a look of despair in her eyes.

I then turned around and zipped across at top speed, shooting towards a Demon who was about to land a hit on Dieter. He noticed me too late and began to fly away, before I grabbed his ankle and slammed him onto the ground, leaping up and unleashing a barrage of stomps onto his torso.

I shot towards a couple more Demons after this one began to disintegrate, cutting them down as rapidly and efficiently as I could, wiping them out bit by bit, until only four were left, two Devils and two Demons.

"It’s four against three now, huh? Gotta say, I like these odds a whole lot better," Smirked Dieter as he slammed his fists together, before wincing slightly as he hurt himself in the process.

He’s got a lot of cuts and scratches all over his arms and torso, but he managed to avoid sustaining any serious damage. However, that’s not including all the minor injuries he’d already had from training with the Space Dragon Deity.

The same goes for Petra as well, they’ve got a lot of fractured bones between them...they’ve actually done extremely well to fight as well as they have been so far. Gotta say, I’m impressed.

"Yeah, I can definitely work with these odds, let’s finish them off and-...," Began Petra in agreement, before trailing off in dismay as several breaches opened up all around us, Demons pouring out of them and surrounding us.

Oh, you have got to be kidding me.

"Hah, what was that about four against three!?" Laughed one of the Demons.

"How do you like these odds!?" Added another or them in amusement.

"Did we jinx it?" Sighed Dieter warily.

"Fuck," Groaned Petra irritably.

Yeah, what she said...

Point-of-View: Kiyana Waller

———————————————————————————

"Damn it, I’m not sure how much longer I can keep this up!" Exclaimed Leonardo, blocking a Negative Blast with a wall of sand before countering by firing the wall out in the form of several projectiles.

"Just keep fighting, don’t complain or think about it!" Called out Elise in response, as a Demon left a deep cut on her left arm, before she grabbed his wrist and froze him solid, shattering him to pieces with a swift kick.

That’s easier said than done, it’s hard not to think about it when we’re so overwhelmingly outnumbered. And thanks to their regenerative capabilities, we’re taking far too long to kill them.

Initially, with Elise freezing them and Leonardo filling their bodies with sand till they explode, we had been holding our own pretty well, with me helping out by healing them.

But it wasn’t long before the Demons changed their tactics, attacking from a distance to avoid getting within the range of the finishing moves of the two of them.

They attack relentlessly from one side, forcing our attention in that direction, before more of them swoop in and try to finish us off from the opposite side.

So far, we’ve managed to defend ourselves and avoid any serious injuries, but at this rate, it’s only a matter of time before this strategy succeeds and they kill us.

I then backflipped as a Demon came flying towards me from behind, leaping over him before slamming my feet onto his back from above before he could respond to my jump, knocking him onto the ground and quickly grabbing his head, prying open his mouth.

Leonardo was swift to respond and send a mass of sand shooting towards the Demon’s open mouth, flowing into it and filling the Demon’s body, which began rapidly ballooning up.

Right as he exploded, another Demon came zipping down towards Leonardo, forming a blade of black flames and slashing at him, eliciting a stifled hiss of pain from him before he spun around and swung a narrow, sharp wave of sand at the Demon, leaving a cut on his chest as he flew back and away to safety.

Damn it, we’re not making any real progress like this! Something has to give soon...or it won’t be long before we’re done...
