Point-of-View: Fenris Hunt

———————————————————————————

"Well, shit...this isn’t looking good," I grimaced, as the Devils reappeared, this time with Demons in tow.

Hm? The one at the back has a pretty dense Aura...a Demon of Sin, maybe? Her Aura is a lot less intense than the Demons of Sin I’ve encountered, so maybe she isn’t?

She had dark brown hair that was tied up in a bun, dull grey eyes, she was tall and slender with 6 small horns on the back of her neck, plus the wings and tail that all Demons have. There’s something really chilling and disconcerting about her.

The moment the breach appeared, I quickly grabbed the twins and hid. I don’t know where we are, but it looks like some sort of small but fairly well developed town on the outskirts.

The few surviving people had run away a while ago, so the three of us are the only ones left here. Maybe we should’ve run away while we still had the chance...but it’s only been a few minutes since the Devils retreated, that was hardly enough time to make a decision like that.

"What do we do?" Whispered Dieter warily.

"I’d say run away, but that’s gonna be nearly impossible since there isn’t much cover to use. Even with your teleportation, it’s too risky. Well, to be clear, I can probably get away on foot if I go at full speed, but the two of you will most likely get caught," I pointed out in response.

"You know, it’s kinda disheartening when you imply that you’re faster on foot than how fast I can teleport," He muttered with a sigh.

"Yeah, I wasn’t implying."

"The Devils won’t be a problem, but those Demons are gonna be tough to handle...especially the woman at the back, her Aura is pretty intense," Chimed in Petra.

"Let’s stay hidden for now. If it looks like they’re going to drop their guards, we’ll attack. Dieter, can you make all three of us invisible?" I asked him quietly.

"Sure, leave it to me," He nodded with a thumbs up, before casting an invisibility barrier around us.

And now, we wait. There sure are a lot of them...they’re all looking around, as if they’re searching for something.

"Strange, this area was supposed to have had a high number of Devil casualties, but all I see are a few human corpses," Frowned one of the Demons.

"Hey, you, you were one of the survivors of those who attacked this area, weren’t you? Are the humans who attacked your group among these corpses?" Inquired the female Demon with the intense Aura.

"No, I do not think so...one was a Werewolf, and quite powerful at that, we did not have the luxury of sparing any humans that surrendered. The Werewolf inspired them to fight back, so we had to kill them. There were some who we were not able to kill before the breach opened to signal our retreat, those ones have likely run away. There were two others fighting alongside the Werewolf, two young human children, I do not see them here either," Came the response, after the Devil glanced at the corpses.

Crap, we should’ve tried harder to kill all the Devils before any of them could retreat.

"Oh? Were the children male or female?" Responded the Demon with a look of intrigue.

Uh, why should that matter?

"One of each."

"I see. In that case, if they’re still here, I will find them," She smirked with a gleam in her eyes.

Does she have some sort of detection ability? This could be bad, we’re only invisible, we haven’t done anything else to mask our presences here.

"I’m putting up an intangibility barrier as well, that should make us harder to detect," Dieter informed me as I began to feel anxious.

"Huh? Oh, nice, way to go," I replied with a nod, before glancing back to the Demon.

"They are probably long gone by now."

"Yes, there is little reason for them to stay here after the Devils retreated."

"Quiet, all of you. If they are gone, then so be it...but if they are still here, hiding somewhere, we should make sure that we deal with them properly. Well, now, what do we have here? I sense the presence of a young maiden," Chuckled the Demon...before her gaze shifted over this way with a menacing, cold look in them, sending chills down my spine.

"U-uh, what should we-...!?" Began Petra in an alarmed, sharp whisper.

"On my signal...scatter and attack. Leave this Demon to me, you two hold the rest at bay, but don’t take any risks. We’re severely outnumbered here," I instructed them with a grimace.

Excluding this female Demon, there were twenty other Demons and fifty Devils...groups like this one have probably been scattered all throughout the world, I can only imagine the carnage and deaths that are taking place right now.

Damn it, she’s getting closer, a sadistic smirk on her face while her cheeks were flushed, her breathing slowly but surely growing heavier...fuck, that’s creepy.

"Wait for it...not yet...get ready...almost there, aaaand...now!" I exclaimed, as I leapt out from behind the large rock we were hiding behind while simultaneously unleashing my Crimson Werewolf form.

"What the-...!?" The Demon exclaimed in alarm, as I closed in on her before she could react and slammed my fist onto her face, sending her flying back with immense force.

Clouds of dust were rising up from the ground as she went zipping back at a breakneck speed, before coming to an elaborate halt as she crashed onto a house, the wall cracking and collapsing in upon impact, as she let out a sharp gasp.

Before she recovers, I should take out as many of the others as I possibly can! I then raced across towards a couple of the weaker Demons at top speed, charging my claws with energy as I closed in on them.

As I slashed at one of them, he evaded to his right in alarm, my claws hitting and sliding through his left arm and severing it, blood bursting out as the other Demon formed a blade of ice and shot towards me, aiming to slash at my neck.

He grazed my shoulder as I leapt away, a trickle of blood running down my fur before the wound swiftly closed up, right as the other Demon closed in on me with a ball of black flames charged up, his left arm halfway regenerated as he drove the flames straight at my head.

I swiftly grabbed his wrist before he could strike and lowered it as he began to fire, the ball of flames hitting my chest painfully as it singed my fur and burnt my skin.

"Damn you, let go-...agh!" Began the Demon, before abruptly trailing off with a pained gasp as I plunged my claws straight into his chest and burst out the charged up energy in a sphere of shredding slashes, tearing his torso apart from the inside.

I then spotted his core starting to sink into the flesh in his waist with most of his top half ripped to shreds, swiftly grabbing it before it could escape into his lower half and crushed it, right as the other Demon sprang up to my right with a swirling mass of water and shards of ice.

I swiftly turned my head that way, swung open my jaws and fired out a powerful, devastating howl at him, the sheer force sending him flying back in the blink of an eye at a blinding speed.

I then turned in that direction and leapt straight towards him with all my strength, flying through the air rapidly and catching up in an instant, his eyes widening in alarm as I appeared right in front of him with my fist drawn back.

I drove my fist down towards him with all my strength, slamming it onto the middle of his torso with a devastating impact, eliciting a sharp wheeze from him before his body turned the ash...looks like the sheer impact that traveled through his body when I punched him was enough to shatter his core.

These Demons are definitely a lot tougher than the Devils, but they’re not all that powerful on their own...Petra and Dieter seem to be holding their own well enough, they’re attacking from a distance while staying well away from their enemies, with Dieter using teleportation and Petra using her short to mid range portals to maintain distance.

However, while they have killed a few Devils, they’re not doing much damage to the Demons...time to reduce their numbers a bit more. That stronger female Demon still hasn’t emerged from that house I slammed her onto...not sure why she’s just sitting there, but I’m not gonna look a gift horse in the mouth!

I then raced across the area rapidly, cutting down eight Devils and a Demon in a matter of seconds, before zipping towards another nearby Demon with a fierce snarl.

I’m fully in control of this form now, but I still feel some feral urges every now and then. But I embrace it instead of resisting it, and with that, I’m in control of the volatile emotions of this form.

As I closed in on the Demon and swung my claws at the side of his neck, he quickly blocked my arm by letting my wrist hit his forearm, before whipping his tail towards me.

Instead of dodging, I stayed still and then swiftly grabbed his tail as it closed on me, stinging my palm a bit as I tightened my grip around it.

"Now, die," I remarked, as I drove my claws towards his midsection.

Suddenly, I halted as my nose twitched, getting an alarming scent rapidly closing in on me. As I let go of the Demon’s tail and sprang back in alarm, a deep gash appeared on my right side. I grimaced in pain as blood gushed out, before the wound swiftly healed and closed up.

"How dare you...? Ordinarily, I prefer to play with pretty young maidens, but for once, I shall make an exception and tear you to pieces, little doggy! I am Fiend Theta of the Thirteen Fiends, the Sadist, Elizabeth Bathory!" She snapped, her eyes bulging with rage as she glared at me murderously...
