The winged demon swooped down from the sky, pitchfork pointed at Alex and his friends, but before it could get close enough, a golden whip streaked through the air, splitting the demon in two halves before it could cause any damage. Sabine pulled her whip back, unshaken as black blood rained from the sky and the her whip curled around her right arm. The demons in the air screeched out in rage an anger at the death of their comrade, before they all began to swoop down in rage. Louis took the lead as they all ran out of the roof top pool, quickly crowding through a door and into a stair well as they made their way down. "We can"t use the roofs to move anymore, the demons have taken to the sky, this would make our task a little bit more difficult." Alex said to them as he jumped over the railings on the stairwell, dropping down like a meteor, straight for the ground floor, without the stress and wasted time of taking the stairs one at a time.
They all landed on the ground floor of the building one after the other, their landing leaving nothing but a dull thud. This group of cultivators might not have the highest of cultivation, but whether intentional or by just sheer luck, their mastery over their bodies was way beyond that of their peers. Their control over their bodies wasn"t absolute, but they could jump down a seven story apartment building, landing without breaking a bone or making a sound.
*Screeeeeeeeeeee!!!*
They all looked up to see the flying demons rushing down after them with a vengeance, Alex couldn"t help but wonder if these things were being sent after them on purpose. He rushed forwards, pushing open the door that led to the lobby of the apartment building they were in, however ever shred on instinct in his body rang out a warning as Alex bent backwards, dodging as a black claw sliced over his head.
An upward slash from Yun Fao relived the demon of it"s arm, just as Alex clenched his hands, a gleaming silver spear with tiny scales on it showed up and he stabbed back through the head of the demon, immediately draining it of every shred of blood in it"s body. The demon fell to the ground and subsequently turned into dust as Alex flipped the spear to slice through the skull of another demon that head leapt towards him, slicing the creature into very b.l.o.o.d.y halves.
Sabina moved to Alex"s side as her barbed shop shot through a demon and another, she pulled back, dragging the still living creatures straight into the waiting path of Yun Fao"s slicing sabre. Louis closed the door behind them, and spread his hands apart, a glowing good spell circle appearing and blocking the doors, serving as a barricade and shield to keep the flying demons from following after them.
Louis ducked down as Sabrina"s triple whip flew over his head, turning another demon into mince meat, just as Louis turned into a streak of golden light that went through a demon, leaving behind a blood cloud. He came to a stop in front of a other demon, or rather there off them, with his rapier pierced through their chest, all three demons stuck on his blade. The demons in the lobby wasn"t much, however that could be attributed to the fact that the people who were once here were either lying in pieces or currently being torn into. Alex made a move to go kill the rest of the demons, but he felt Yun Fao grab his arm.
"Leave it! There"s nothing you can do for them now, we have bigger fish to fry, come on!"
Alex didn"t want to, but the rest of the demons were busy feasting on the dead bodies of the people they just killed. Alex felt Yun Fao drag him towards the entrance of the apartment building, they were moving out when Alex noticed the body of a twelve year old girl lying on the ground, she had on a camera that was smashed to pieces besides her, while her chest cavity was left side open for others to see, her skin was a dark chocolate reminiscent of people from the dark continent...from home.
Alex felt Yun Fao nudge him a bit as he closed his eyes and ran out the building with them, the image of the dead girl seared so deeply into his brain and memory, and with it came an anger so curious, the spear in his hand vibrated in tandem with his anger and rage. The spear was a deep silver, almost white, but that was understandable considering it"s shaft was actually dragon bone and coated in dragon scales encased with the weird combination alloy Alex had made back In the Infernal prison Dimension.
The spear head was made from a Dragons heart stone, while a dragons Pearl was slotted right at the place where the blade met the shaft. A dragon"s heart stone was an organ synonymous with the western dragons, while the Pearl was attributed to the Eastern dragons, otherwise known as the Imperial dragons. The only two species of dragons known to have once existed on Earth, though some of them still live on the planet, it"s almost impossible being able to find them.
Alex and his grandfather had forged this weapon together with precious materials from the Zhang clan"s store house. It was a true spirit grade weapon, and was forged with his grandfather as an apology for the loss of West wind and East cloud, it was a spear with a spirit, one that grew by devouring the blood and essence of his enemies. It also felt Alex"s anger and reacted accordingly as it"s pristine silver white form, turned a deep shade of red, in tandem with Alex"s now boiling rage.
The street in front of them was practically devoid of people, screams could still be heard in the distance as demons slowly covered every square inch of the city. They took off running across the city, the demons were mostly ignoring them, which was a scenario they were actually grateful for, not having to face off Against the scores of demons now patrolling the city, made it easier for them to get to their destination.
Quite frankly it wasn"t that easy to navigate the city, cars were abandoned, both the dead bodies of demons and people littered the street, and they had to be careful not to draw attention from the demons that could fly. And even worse was the fact they didn"t exactly have an idea of where they were going to. But they just keep pushing until they turned around a corner and came face to face with a giant cathedral.
There were dozens if not hundreds of demons standing in front of he cathedral, but there"s wasn"t a gate man around, which means what these demons were guarding wasn"t the gate that sp.a.w.ned them, but something much more important, and in all probability, it"s the commander they"re looking for. Just as they showed up in front of the cathedral all of the demons there moved their eyes towards their direction, it was so in sync it left all six of them feeling uneasy.
"Guys do you notice that there"s no a single dead body or drop of blood in sight?" Louis suddenly asked.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Yun Fao asked with confusion, however Louis just shrugged as he said.
"I"m not sure either, it"s just an observation on my part, but I think it would be better if we"re extra careful. What do you think young Master?" he asked as he faced Alex.
"Do be careful, but for now, until we know we"re not a match to these demons.....kill everything in sight."
They looked at him, but all they could see on his young face was a calm expression, however when they looked down at the spear in his hand, they noticed that it was blazing red in rage and wrath. In all honesty they"ve all been trying to ignore the severity of the amount of bloodshed they"ve seen, the senseless killings and the many innocent lives lost. Someone was responsible for this, and even if they don"t know who or why, it still left them feeling very angry. But it was easier not acknowledging this horror, at least not yet, it made it easier for all of them to keep a clear head.
But now Alex had given in to his rage, and it was not as if he had the worst temper in the group, that t.i.tle actually belonged to Sabrina. But Alex was leader for a reason, sure it"s their job to follow and protect him, but the young boy had proved himself charismatic in more ways than one. And this was true especially for Louis and Yun Fao who have spent the longest amount of time with him; whatever he felt, they also felt. So right now he was angry and about the go on a demon killing spree…....it was safe to say, they weren"t too far behind him.
Alex pointed his still nameless spear at the small army of demons protecting the front of the cathedral, Yun Fao pointed his Sabre at them as he took a stance besides Alex whilst Louis pulled out both his Rapiers, his body beginning to glow gold as a spell circle showed up behind him. And as for the triplets, their bodies seems to weirdly collapse into each other, their while fusing until all that was left behind was a woman with silver hair and eyes that were a cloudy grey, a third eye opener up on her forehead as she released and unfathomable pressure for her body.
Khan who had been missing for while glided to the top of his master"s had, his tiny fangs bared at the demons, and in that moment all Alex could say was one word.
"KILL!!"
