As Athoi reached for the door, a deafening crash shook the village. The house in front of them collapsed into a cloud of dust and debris as a massive, fat, horned demon smashed down on top of it. Its grotesque form, which they had seen earlier from afar, was now terrifyingly close.
"Shit!" Athoi gasped, her eyes wide with horror as she caught sight of a villager trapped beneath the demon. The woman villagers body was instantly crushed in a grotesque display of blood and broken limbs.
"The demon... it crushed the elf villager," Nabil muttered, his voice grim as he stared at the blood pooling on the ground.
Athoi gripped her sword tightly, her knuckles white with tension.
Suddenly, the demon let out an ear-splitting scream. Athoi winced, clasping her hands over her ears as the intense sound sent a sharp pain through her skull, causing her ears to bleed.
