As soon as they stepped through the portal, many of the same creatures that were guarding the portal out appeared from nowhere, clawing at them and trying to rip them into two.
Aster slashed one of the creatures arms off, flipping over and sending into tumbling down to the floor with the sole of his shoes. He now charged his sword up with energy and plunged it into another monsters chest, Zoe now clicking as mini-chains surged from opening portals around the creature, killing it in a matter of seconds.
"We fell right into her trap, didn't we?" Rio stated the obvious as he stabbed another one of many to death.
Lily nodded, shielding them all from a giant claw bash.
Zoe slashed some in two, and Aster used his giant light sword to explode an oncoming horde all at once.
Suddenly, they were all sent flying a explosion that happened right infront of them, sending them rolling back but not harmed.
Lily looked up to see the remaining beings gathered around a floating woman, golden heels, low but able to keep her partly elevate off the ground, on the heels sides, one on the right, and then on the other heel, the left, were red crystals that were shaped like a flower.
Her top had a small part at the top, flowery at the end, transparent dark grey, with red in a v-shape on both sides, small in the middle, in a diamond-shape. Gold went across horizontal, not cutting in the diamond shape that was in the middle. There was a black shirt under that that went down to the middle of her upper half (Stomach)
She wore shorts and leggings that almost covered all the skin on her legs, and the leggings were not transparent at all.
She yawned. "Well well well..." She ignited her gloved palm. "What do we have here? Fools that fell into my trap, that's what." She snapped, stepping onto the ground and turning the purple and red flames into a sort of spellbook?
"Careful everyone, she's one of the Demon King's elites, she could do anything at any moment." Aster warned his group.
Bria giggled. "Darkness, rise!" The spellbook glowed wildly, revealing 20 blasts that were ready to fire, only to be sucked into a massive shadowy cloak behind her.
From it, stepped a massive demon, black as the night and eyes red as hellfire.
"I should save my energy, it isn't worth fighting you now..." She laughed. "Still so weak." She grinned. "Demon, I command you to destroy them, any means necessary." Bria cackled before fading into a dark cloak of magic, going elsewhere.
"Damn it...!" Aster gritted his teeth and flicked his eyes towards the damaged sanctuary of the Shadow Lord. "Let's deal with this thing, then go save the Shadow Lord!"
"Got it!"
