The Rebel

The blood rivers ran endlessly beneath their feet as crows feasted on the corpses of the knights. The Devil Hunters held out their breaths because this was not their doing, but someone among the enemy lines.

A giant man–no, monster–stood above the corpses, feasting on them. The knights stood silently behind the monster, taking a step back with each minute away from the person who used to be their captain.

"Kar has infiltrated the knights," muttered Diana as she wiped away the blood from her face. The barrier was behind the giant bloodsucking monster, who had transcended humanity and became an anomaly of the world.

Its muscles bulged as if an inflated bag, the veins visible as if ropes holding a trunk together. The skin stretched beyond its breaking point, but the monster regenerated and grew bigger the more it consumed the blood of the knights.
