A Disastrous Shotgun

A grotesquely carved animal made of stone dropped at the exact spot Celestia was. Blood splatted around the figure the time it hits the ground. A sudden earthquake shook after the impact.

"We're completely out of luck. It's a gargoyle," Adeline said as she narrows her eyes towards their enemy.

The statue that became a demonic vessel growls a head-shaking vibration. Its body is completely stone but depicts the body of a human and a bat hybrid. Its height is half more than them. From its appearance, its strength is imaginable.

"J… Jolly…" Celestia stuttered while looking at the drips of blood at the gargoyle's feet. Her chin shakes out of despair.
