"GROOAARR!"
"SHAAAAH!"
"GRUOOHH!"
Aberrant Demons of all shapes and sizes continued battling Blake's party. Their horrendous screams echoing across the entire city, making their hearts tremble in doubt, frustration, horror, and anger!
This entire situation, it was just hell on earth! All these demons which they wouldn't even hesitate to kill before, they were now people they had seen playing around.
Children, elderly, women and men, mothers and fathers, they weren't just insane barbaric creatures, they were normal citizens.
And even worse, some of them were even the family of their friend...
"Make it stop...! Please make it stop!"
Elfriedden kept clashing against his own people, the people he had sworn to protect, the people he had been thinking about this whole time as he grew stronger.
He continued conjuring walls after walls of ice everywhere, he froze their bodies temporarily, only for them to break out, melting through it all with their demonic flames.
"Please, Rosenheim, mother...! Sapphirus! This is enough!"
He kept struggling to form barriers, the faces of his family constantly pushing through the ice. Their aberrant faces, which slightly resembled how they looked before, twisted, horrifying.
"Please...! I don't want to see this anymore!"
He closed his eyes, releasing all his frost at once as his tears froze into ice.
FLUOOOSH!
A storm of snow washed away all the Demonic Aberrations at once, their frozen bodies falling over the floor, shattering into pieces.
Elfriedden's eyes opened wide as he realized he ended killing some of his people.
Their bodies wouldn't recover.
They stayed broken down and dead.
"A-Ah...! N-No! I didn't mean to! I'm sorry! I'm sorryyyy!"
He kept screaming, tormented by what he was forced to do.
What could these people have been?
An old elf selling fruit in the market.
Or a little girl playing in the plaza?
Maybe, even a friend of his brother?
Or perhaps one of the gossip ladies that his mother liked to talk with...
"I'm sorry...! Please forgive me...!"
"BRO... THEERRRR..."
"Ah! S-Sapphirus?!"
Elfriedden ended looking towards Sapphirus aberrant form.
But she hesitated!
Amongst everyone here, Elizabeth had the kindest heart!
To kill innocent people...
She would rather die.
BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!
Her barriers shattered one after another as the gigantic, blazing fists pummeled her down, she started rapidly moving towards Elfriedden.
At the same time, everyone else was fighting with their life on the line, while trying to not kill these people.
Erika continued slashing limbs with Chris, tears flowing from their eyes as they kept resisting, as they kept struggling together.
Eric fired his arrows and erected barriers that burned almost instantly, Alberta kept herself by his side, becoming his shield.
Erdrich fought alone, incapacitating as many foes as he could!
Everyone was crying, everyone was struggling, everyone was panicking, everyone was suffering.
They didn't know what to do!
"Do we kill them?!" Erdrich thought.
"What can we do other than to kill them?! If this keeps up, we'll all die!" thought Eric. "B-But would I be able to live knowing I killed so many innocent people?!"
"What would my father say in this moment?!" Alberta panicked. "What should I do?!"
"This can't keep going forever...!" Chris thought. "I'll have to... I'll have to start killing them or my friends are going to die! They're all too soft-hearted!"
"Mom... Blake!" Erika kept crying.
What they were unaware of was that all of Blake's Vampire Spirits were also fighting, they were actually only fighting a tenth of the actual army, which the Vampires were all keeping at bay, without killing any, or well, trying.
"This can't keep up forever..." Eriant said as his walls of sand kept being destroyed.
"Just keep them at bay, will you?!" Celestina cried, using her miasmic waters to stop the incoming foes.
"This would be much easier if we could just kill them..." Hendrick started considering it. "But master would hate us if we did... He had changed after all."
"Mama... papa..." Saphira looked in the distance, over a kilometer from there.
Blake and Mammon were still clashing fiercely.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
BOOOM!
And the skies were turning pink and dark purple.
"Good night."
Cattalina's Spell was finally conjured.
It was a city-wide Spell!
FLAAASH!
