The ground shattered, trembled and split. A massive shockwave directed forward was followed by an enormous globe of swirling blood mana, vaporizing the ground underneath and directly in front of Riven and blasting the entire front wall into smithereens before colliding with the drake’s large yellow eye.

*KABOOM*

The eye was decimated and its huge head flung backwards in a spray of debris. The enormous multi-ton creature went torpedoing head over heels, roaring, thrashing about in agony with wings and claws as it smashed into a crowd of its lesser cousins that were crushed under the drake’s weight.

The monster’s body came to an abrupt stop when it violently slammed into the far wall of a much larger underground chamber, an octagon chamber many hundreds of yards apart in all directions with a skylight reaching miles high and numerous statues of draconic figures spaced out between ruined stone buildings.

Julia and Tim both took in deep gasps, Hakim just gawked with incomprehension, and Caleb began to laugh like a madman after seeing the huge drake blown backwards like a speeding bullet through the enormous room.

Riven’s red eyes shifted right, not seeing them through the debris in the air but hearing their hundreds of heartbeats close by. Raising a hand, dozens of spinning red blades smoldered into being around his position. Pulling on the blood of the fallen bodies that’d just been crushed in the drake’s wake, spiraling wisps of red were ripped out and quickly condensed into over a hundred more.

“Get fucked.”

Riven’s fingers extended and a swarm of spinning blades tore through the rubble still falling through the air, blindly carpet bombing the crowds of enemies nearby with each disc exploding seconds after impact. Explosion after explosion rocked the underground ruin to the screams and cries of lizardmen and other reptiles, leaving a field of ruined bodies and rubble when the dust finally cleared.

The drake had changed targets now that it lost track of the caster, and its maw opened up with another roar. Crackling sparks started accumulating from its innards,traveling up the inside of its neck and condensing into a ball of lightning that flashed forward and collided with the taunting, flaming four armed demon in front of it.

Fire and lightning clashed, and the drake was only fifty yards away when it hit Fay’s invisible minefield.

Unholy runes lit up with green light and detonated, blowing small holes in the huge monster and causing it to stumble. But its momentum kept it going forward, and rune after rune continued to blast into the monster when another series of sonic booms rippled forward from across the room.

Red and black magic tore through the air and collided with the drake’s neck and shoulder, again piercing its thick scales and creating festering wounds with the black net-like ends of the sharp projectiles that ate away at the draconic monster’s flesh.

Enraged now, the drake whipped its head around to fire another lightning strike at the caster’s direction only to have its head yanked down by the lower jaw when the large flaming demon leapt up to grab a tooth.

“AZMOTH CLIMB INTO THROAT AND BASH BASH BASH!!!”

Breathing flames and ignoring the cascade of lightning despite pieces of his armor being torn off, the demon started biting, tearing and ripping into the drake’s insides with gleeful, insidious cackles. But what really did massive amounts of damage to the inside was when the demon slammed its foot down and set a shockwave of kinetic energy throughout the throat - ripping apart layers of flesh and bone alike.

The drake immediately began to thrash, panicking now and rolling around on the ground frantically while trying to create more and more lightning inside its throat to get the monster inside its body out again. Its body sparked and rippled with electricity, but still the demon raged inside.

Hakim was so caught up in the battle before him that he didn’t hear the scraping of claws nearby until it was too late.

*CLANG*

Hakim and everyone in his group startled, and he nearly tripped over his own feet, stumbling back when the flash of a sword was stopped by another blade only an inch from his face.

Right in front of him, a lizardman gagged and gurgled - blood trickling out of its toothy mouth while it stared wide-eyed into the sinister smile of the woman with pitch-black skin and six blade-limbs protruding from her back. In one clawed hand she held the lizardman’s heart, one of her blades was holding back the lizardman’s sword that would have no doubt killed Hakim had it fell, and two more blades pierced the monster’s stomach and neck.

The demoness slowly extended her long, black tongue, licking blood off one of the lizardman’s wounds before ripping out all of her blades at once and letting the body drop to the ground. Tossing the heart of the monster to the side flippantly, she calmly turned and set the gaze of her red eyes on Julie, then Tim, then Hakim.

She completely ignored Caleb.

“Well, well, well, what do we have here...” A familiar voice asked with a chittering laugh, and the smile she gave them was rather genuine. “You’ve got to be more careful, you know. We won’t always be here to save you.”

*BOOM*

The room exploded when another of Fay’s minefields blew apart a group of lizard monsters that’d been tricked into pursuing another hallucination, and flashes of red light illuminated the room overhead when more of the caster’s projectiles flashes forward to puncture the hide of the huge, flailing drake that had smoke billowing out of holes in its neck.

The demonic woman with black skin shifted her gaze to the right where another eight lizardmen were rushing through a corridor and towards the treasure room’s wrecked wall, and she let out a loud belch. “Be right back!”

A blur of blades and shadow collided with the group of reptilian warriors before they even knew what hit them. The woman’s delighted laughter was mixed with the peppering thuds of red needles being launched from her arachnoid limbs and the sounds of body parts being chopped off. Meanwhile, the lizardmen could only scramble away for their lives and scream.
