Neil emptied his whole magazine of bullets aimlessly at the demon hordes ,he could feel his adrenaline rise from deep inside him. A huge 7 foot demon sprang at him and he quickly shot through its face continuously until it fell down and burst into a pool of blood.
"Do you have enough ammunition to keep them away as the general heals ?" Asked Samael as he swung his chains through hordes of demons burning them into ashes.
"If I aim individually I can hold for about 30 minutes maximum!"shouted Neil in response as he continued to fire at the demons who were now doubling in size.As he fired ,a huge rock came right for his face and it was quickly deflected by Samael who swung his chain in that direction.
In between the legion of demons,Kai could be seen hovering above sending a huge firestone at them .Samael spun his chains so hurriedly that it cut through the firestone and dispersed its hot fragments aimed towards the demons tearing them into pieces that melted into pools of blood.Neil aimed for Kai's eye and took a deep breath ,while Kai was not looking he shot at him.Kai was quick enough but nevertheless the bullet tore the left side of his face.
He dropped from his hovering position onto the ground with a thud so loud the ground shook.The two assistant commanders who Asül had deployed were doing their best to cut through the demons and stop them from coming close to the cave. Samael spotted the earth twins who were still releasing more demons with the help of Shaka.With a great swing of his chains he split both of them detaching their upper bodies from the abdomen and lower body.They fell on the ground and groaned in pain as they slowly regenerated.The supply of demons was cut off but what they were worried about was the demon royalties who despite being hurt still posed a great threat to them.
Shaka flexed his fists and a pale turquoise flame engulfed them .He rushed towards the hunters who were at the frontline of killing the demons .Holding one of the hunters in his hand,he sucked life out of him making him dry up and become pale until he collapsed.All that happened in a split second sending chills down the hunters' spines.
Some moved back to regain composure while some charged at him hurriedly .He ripped their souls out of them faster than they could even land a blow on him .His speed was unmatched until he tried holding one hunter and he missed.The hunter quickly appeared behind him and stabbed his neck deeply causing him to slow down .He turned to punch him but the hunter ducked and with immense power concentrated into his punch ,He punched a hole through his solar plexus .The hole quickly regenerated but before it could fully heal ,another hunter stabbed his eye .He fell down silently .
Before the hunters could turn to anyone else ,he had awoken and held one of them and sucked the life out of him.The faster hunter quickly pulled the dagger from Shaka's neck and stabbed his other side of the neck.He hurriedly did that while dodging his touch because he knew what would happen .Just then ,the earth twins awoke and began hurling huge rocks at the hunter's.Some hunters were caught off guard and knocked out while others saw it coming and dodged.
Neil with keen precision shot at them .The bullet missed but it caught the twins attention.They telekinetically picked up a huge rock and hurled it at him. Samael knew he couldn't stop the fast paced boulder but he tried nevertheless.He sprang up using the strength in his thighs and cut through the rock so hard that the his chains shattered .
The force as a result of the shattereing threw Samael down to the ground so hard he dented the ground.He tried to pull his chains but it's shattered pieces lay on the ground moving slightly with a faint red glow.
Just then ,the fully regenerated Kai appeared behind Him and swung his red hot hand at him.He quickly ducked but the edge of the hand scorched his shoulder slightly but painfully.One of the assistant commanders who saw it rushed towards him kicking Kai into a nearby tree and he rammed into it breaking its upper part off. The other commander threw his foot long dagger at him pinning him to the tree.As they rushed to pick up the now injured Samael,Kai derived the dagger from his shoulder and threw it straight at the assistant commander .It was aimed straight for his head and it moved at a high speed whistling through the air when suddenly it got deflected.
" Calvary has arrived men!" Shouted an authoritative voice from the cave opening. It was Asül who had just fully recovered and was on a killing spree. With a tremendous velocity he rushed through the demons hordes tearing them apart with his loyal 6inch dagger. He had one of the earth twins within his reach and with a precise slash he decapitated her.Her body twitched as it struggled to regenerate a new head.As he stood there looking down upon the decapitated demon,the other twin sprang up through a bulge on the earth surface behind him. Before he could even touch Asül, Samael held his legs and threw him into the nearby tree. Asül gave Samael a look of relief as he raised up his dagger.
"Supreme deity ,look with pride at the indomitable spirit of your creation," Asul said loudly rekindling the battle spirit in the hunters and they started their battle cry and rushed faster into the battle. Kai fully regenerated flew up into the air and with a sonic speed he flew up towards the peak of the mountain .Asül assumed he was escaping and he rushed at Shaka who was about to burn his soul stealing fist through one of the hunters.He punched through his newly healed solar plexus and watched him fall to the ground growling .
"Sir ,I think i got it!" Said one of the men in between the battle .
"what's your suggestion?"Asül asked as he punched at a demon that had sprung at him .
"The low ranking demons burst into blood when critically injured ," said the man as he kicked away another demon,
"Yes and ?"Asked Asül .
"Well the upper ranking demons heal and come back stronger ,"
"What are you suggesting on that ?"
"Well since you're fast ,you should consider dismembering the demons faster than they can regenerate and kill them in the process."
" Thats the best idea I've heard in a while"
After saying that ,Asul continuously cut through Shaka.He cut him continuously even faster than he could heal.
Kai quickly flew to where the battle was taking place holding Genta's body in his arms .He threw him into the air and absorbed him. He felt a power surge through his body as he absorbed Genta's power. He turned to the legion of low rank demons and scorched them all absorbing their power. He quickly flew down towards the decapitated earth twin and before he could scorch her ,the other twin appeared carried her body out of the scorch radius and sank into the earth hurriedly.
"Steady your weapons men ,we're in for a hard hit," said Asül as soon as he noticed what was happening.Just then,a fire ball came straight for Shaka's body and everyone around the scorch radius jumped back except for Samael who was caught in the fire .Inside the smoke a winged creature shielded him from the fire. On closer observation,everyone noticed it was Augurs who had shielded the hit.
Asül scowled then smiled after he saw Shaka's body safe from the fire.Kai grinned as he descended lower until he stood a few inches above the ground .
***************
The ladies hastened their pace as they ran down the path .The woods we're ominously dark at that time of night .They could hear the crackling of the leaves under their feet as they walked through the woods towards the main roads all the way back to civilization. While on the run Molly could feel the air around them getting heavier and warmer. She couldn't put a finger on what was transpiring but something felt wrong.
"leave me with my little marionettes !"said a voice causing the two men escorting them suddenly disappear into thin air.The four ladies stood there scared as A tall man who had suddenly appeared squatted to look them in the eyes.He was a young feminine looking man in his mid twenties.He had neck length blonde hair and a soft menacing smile.
Molly moved back hurriedly pulling Milly with her as they tried to run from the tall figure .The man looked at her straight in the eye and watched her turn red with pain. She screamed and fell down powerless.
"You were supposed to explode into a pool of blood ,unless you have the rings !"he said looking at her hand.
"Ooh well,lets play a game ,I chase you,if i catch any of you ,I'm cutting off your finger one by one until you're out of fingers,then I will slowly carve you into my own marionette ,"he sighed "Agreed ,ladies?"everyone was so dumbfounded to speak and before they knew it he had covered his face with his palm and started his 30 second countdown. Milly breathed heavily as Molly and the others pulled her away from the man's menacing grasp into the dark trees at the corner of the woods. As they pulled her ,she could hear their voices distant as if from afar .She could feel reality warping and before she knew it she was once again all alone in a dark room .
