Castle was slowly being beaten down even with Cinder and Wendy's help his health and their MP were running out fast. Whoever set this trap was smart using multiple archers to inflect damage while tanks to lock him down. In addition they sent in weaker members first to wear him out and now their fresh and stronger members were replacing the dead or severely injured members.
Dingo was trying to protect their members from the archers so he couldn't help on the ground troops till Rose got rid of the archers. He was semi sure that they were going to die and only got a little hopeful when she started taking bunches of them out with those fire arrows.
Cinder freaked, she just knew that if she didn't get to Castle he would die with out knowing how much she loved him. She used almost all her powers at full blast making a semi circle around Castle so at least he would only get attacked from the front. His strength was formidable but no one could take on this many and win. Before dying she swore to say her love out loud.
Wendy fear locked her into a frozen position and only Cinders screams and exploding magic brought her back to reality. She then did what was she always did and started healing and bousting Castle. It wasn't until blood spray from Dingo arm being pierce with a arrow next to her made her realize that he was shielding her. So when Cinder jumped she followed sending a heal his way so he would not have to protect her.
The archers on Castles side suddenly got hit by some kind of exploding magic clearing the incoming shots. So they suddenly got hopeful that maybe some body had arrived to help them out. Castle started to get his second speert of energy given to one with hope it often ends quickly but is very useful in some ways.
Dingo and Rose quickly jumped into the Frey to help out their team mates but some new fighters came running towards them, ones they now recognized. Rose taking out that dam Bronco that had wanted her dead right before he took Dingo's head from his very shoulders.
Rose's bow suddenly changed in a blink of his eye into a two edged sword, her body grow taller,more fluid and her eyes flamed red. Fighting away Dingo only caught glances. However what he saw freaked even him out, even after a hundred years of life he never saw something so fluid in its movements.
Demon Rose was beautifully erotic in her dance of death each movement wasting no energy slice, cut, trip, pierce, flip, slide, twist constantly moving. He had killed only four while he saw her take out at least ten, bodies of her kills littered the ground with so many rips, cuts and slices.
Soon they had joined their companions and their leftover enemies fled, only taking the ones who could walk with them. Demon Rose laughingly chased after them. Dingo followed after to make sure that she would remain safe from other as well as herself.
Castle, Cinder and Wendy just stood there looking quite bewildered. Was that really Rose had she turned demonic, if so why had she not attacked them but saved them instead. She was so tall and slender managing strange flipping, twisting, gauging and cutting attacks some even with her teeth. She had been covered head to toe in blood and her sounds send shivers down ones back.
When she went into the forest a strange smell distracted her and she veered to the west sensing something, something that made her hungry and also very angry. Her speed was faster then most beast of the woods most fled instinctively away from her. Soon she found the smell and where her anger came from as a large demonic tiger ridden by a small demon.
The demon shouted challenging in the original demonic tongue which usually caused human to freeze up and not be prepare for attack, so the demon and beast could easily win. This didn't work on Rose, instead it seemed as if she could partially understand what he said. Soon its words became clear it was taunting her and her whole family.
She didn't think twice firing arrows of flame into the Tigers face, one found it way into its right eye the other its left nostril. The explosions caused it to flip to the side sending its rider flying off into the woods . The tiger unfortunately for it, landed face first into a tree shoving her arrows further into its skull.
This made it extreamly mad and half blind, and unable to smell, it screamed in defiance then searched for its enemy. That's when it saw Rose once again but she was not trying to run, she was stabbing into his main artery under has left front arm. He screamed and twisted to slash at his prey but she flipped with him and landed on his spine.
Dropping her bow, she dropped behind it and sliced his achelies heels making its back legs collapes. It throw its body violently to slice her with one of its long legs claws exstended, and would have hit her except for a little assist. Dingo large sword sliced clean through its paws and only a spray of blood hit Rose.
She was so hungry with mouth open wide she swallowed the blood as quickly as possible and then slicing it's guts open and burried her face inside. Dranking as much as possible until finally her thirst and hunger faded a little then she smiled a bloody toothy smile at Dingo. Her feature were starting to change a bit back to normal but not quite yet there was work to do.
"Let's get the demon, he's close we need to kill it so it's mark will go away and free my soul a little", said demon Rose. With that she sprung back into action running towards where the demon had been thrown. Dingo swore that at that time he saw burning blue horns and two golden bat type wings in a blurring afterimage as she went.
Dingo shook his head, he was still breathing hard however he still looped after the best friend he had so far met in this f...ed up world. Finally they caught up to the little bastard as he waa trying to scurry into his dark den. One of Roses arrows had pierced it into place at its entrance.
However demons even small ones had great abilities in physical powers and resistance to magics. They had few but very wicked magic powers for the higher power ones like Lords which could blast hellstorms, raining fires, use freezing tornadoes, or vomit acids.
Humans usually killed them with vast armies and mages attacking together and sealing them into the other plain. These seals didn't last forever so enevitable they returned causing havoc again. Only a demon could kill permanently another demon because they could consume its essence or power.
Now they would see if she could really kill a demon.
