Chapter 50
Arya would say she was looking at three people-two women and one man-that were emerging from the shadows.
Arya would call them human except the two females had black skin while the male had skin so pale and white it almost blinded Arya, huge horns like those of a ram's, eyes the color of blood that were silted like those of a snake's, and sharp teeth that could rip out her throat and forked tongues. They also all had stark white hair that was a blinding and sickening bright white color. They looked like siblings but it could just be a coincidence that they looked so similar to each other.
They weren't human-that was the one thing Arya knew for sure.
They were dressed in all red clothing with the two women in short-sleeves and knee length red dresses and the man wearing nothing more than a pair of ripped up red pants.
The man carried a bow and quiver of arrows so he was the one that shot that arrow at her.
One of the women was armed with a long spear and the other woman carried nothing. But Arya had no doubt that she could easily overpower her in raw strength judging by her muscular appearance and built body.
The male demon spoke up.
"Little human, we were watching you train and practice and you are a strong human. Worthy of being hunted down by us. You should think of it as a great honor for a mere human like you."
Yeah, an honor alright, Arya thought as she calculated her chances of being able to take down all of them with two knives and telekinesis.
The muscular demoness hissed.
"My brother, we're wasting too much time. We need to kill that female human and-"
Arya didn't wait until she finished talking. She flung her pretty silver knife at the demoness and the knife took at one of her eyes. Black blood leaked from her eyes, almost invisible against her black skin.
The demoness screamed and cursed, ripping out the knife and giving Arya a murderous look.
Expect Arya was charging at the trio, her remaining knife covered in aura.
The spear-wielding demoness screamed and thrusted the spear out at her.
Arya sliced the iron spear with ease with her knife covered in aura and the demoness was left reeling in shock that her spear was turned into a stick.
The other demoness-the one now missing her right eye- lunged at her and slashed at her with her claws and Arya felt a burst of pain from her right side as her claws left three deep slashes across her belly.
Arya kicked out her right leg and her foot caught the demoness in her stomach and she got the wind knocked out of her. She fell onto her knees and Arya followed up with a kick to her face that sent her sprawling across the ground.
The other demoness had recovered from the shock of losing her spear and she summoned another spear from thin air.
She threw it at Arya with all her power behind it and the spear went flying like an arrow fired from a bow towards Arya.
Arya saw it coming and she stretched out a hand and stopped the tip of the spear just mere inches away from her face and this close to poking out her left eye.
She then redirected the spear and sent it flying back towards her at high speeds.
The demoness saw it coming and she dodged. But not fast enough as the spear that should have gone straight through her chest was now poking through her right shoulder, preceding through one side and poking out the other.
The demoness snarled and she clutched her wounded shoulder.
"I'LL KILL YOU, YOU HUMAN BITCH!! I'LL-"
The sound of flesh ripping and tearing and blood being spilled filled Arya's ears and she saw the male demon ripping off the head of his female companion. He didn't use a sword or ax to behead her or aura but with just raw strength.
The demoness's headless body fell down with a loud thud.
The other demoness, who had finally recovered from Arya's big kick to the face, screamed and lunged at the male demon.
"LUCIFER, YOU DARE-"
Lucifer grabbed her by the neck and-in a single and quick move-snapped her neck in half with a single squeeze of her hand.
She dropped down to the ground, dead, her neck at an awkward angle.
Arya was left speechless at the power of this male demon and she knew instinctively that she was no match for him.
What he did next surprised her.
"I surrender to you."
He knelt down in front of her in a position of absolute submission.
Arya didn't know what to do.
…
Catalina threw three poison knives at a demon. The demon parried all of them and lunged at her.
A stream of fire burned the demon into ashes and Catalina silently thanked Elijah for having her back.
She gave another demon a good punch in the face, her fist delivering a powerful uppercut to the demon that knocked it out in one blow.
A pink haired girl was throwing werewolves and monsters around like rag dolls, breaking backs and bones.
A white haired boy created five long spears made from ice and sent them flying towards some in-coming goblins.
All the ice spears hit their mark and five goblins instantly went down.
The ground shattered and exploded and a massive tangle of tree roots erupted from the ground and speared some werewolves right through the chest.
Freya willed the grass and trees around her to grow and extend to entrap some skeletons.
The grass quickly grew all the way up to peoples' chest and transformed themselves into thick ropes of twisted grass to wrap themselves around the arms and legs of the skeleton warriors.
The trees extended their branches and they wrapped themselves flexibly around some werewolves, wrapping around their arms, legs and muzzles.
A barrage of arrows and spears, of rocks the size of fists to blasts of ice to pillars of fire to bolts of lightning to streams of fire rained down on the imprisoned monsters.
Ezekiel and Assyrian led the barrage and Granite was leading a small group against some stragglers that everyone else missed.
Catalonia could finally breathe a sigh of relief as it looked like the tide was finally turning in their direction.
The monsters just kept resurrecting and coming back to life but it seemed like there was a limit to how many times they could resurrect with the resurrecting process getting longer and longer for each resurrection and if their bodies were completely destroyed-like burned to ashes or ripped apart to pieces-they would never resurrect at all.
Then she felt it.
The earth shaking and trembling under her and then a huge explosion knocked her off her feet.
It knocked everyone off their feet as a powerful blast of heat and power sent them all flying.
Catalina was sent flying through the air and her back slammed hard against a tree. She felt herself cough up blood and she hit her head real hard.
Elijah also hit his head real hard when he came crashing down back to earth.
Bodies were sprawled across the ground and a figure of a man could be seen in the smoke.
He looked human enough but his grayish-skin and six arms along with a set of curly black horns on his forehead and sharp teeth said otherwise. His inky black hair was waist length and was wild and uncombed.
You could say he was handsome if you ignored his obviously non-human parts.
He wore nothing but a pair of long black pants. His built and muscular body was on full display for anyone who had a high appreciation for eye candy.
He yawned. He stretched out two of his arms while two more were planted on his hips.
One one covered his mouth as he yawned.
"Goodness, this is fucking boring. These humans are too weak…..well, too bad. It's their fault for being so weak."
He whipped around and called out to a few people behind him.
"Guys, come on!!!"
