Tia dodges and swings her blade, slicing through the head of a demon ending its life, suddenly, another demon appears from behind her and tries to jump her, however, is struck by a lightning bolt, causing it to fall dead on the floor.

Ceasar charges towards a demon, Katanas in hand and jumps up, spins and slices off the heads of multiple demons within his vicinity, another demon runs at him, however, he strangles them with his tail, breaking the demons study neck and throws it into the crowd of them.

They were performing quite well, however the rest of the soldiers not so much, there hadn’t been many deaths yet, but many were severely injured and were starting to get pushed back. A few demons had already made it past them and into the jungle, however, they had been met by a very dangerous vampire and a swarm of 50 war monkeys.

As Alex delivered cover fire from a distance, shooting beams of blood and blades of blood, he watched as the sun continued to sink further and further into the horizon until... it disappeared. He smiled.

“It's time to change the tides.”.

Alex darts towards the swarms of demons, twin blood blades in his hand and charges through the demons, beheading them as he mows through them.

“Nice, Alex is here, this should wrap up quickly”, Lilly says as she fires a giant bolt of lightning, wiping out a huge chunk of the demons.

The demons had never known or experienced fear, they were creatures of darkness that trampled over their enemies in swarms and droves, overwhelming them. However, for the first time, the demons felt a strange feeling, no matter how much they pushed and swarmed, they could not overcome this wall, no it was more like a giant Crevasse they couldn’t cross, no matter how far they jumped, they couldn’t reach the other side, and it swallowed them hole.

Alex stands still, his arms crossed, the demons, taking this opportunity to kill the biggest threat to them, charges and swarm him, attempting to rip and tear at him. However, this was part of Alex’s plan, as he swings out his arm, spikes of blood erupt out of the ground, piercing all the demons within his radius.

The tides of this battle had been turned and after seeing Alex’s performance, their soldiers were even further driven to win this battle. The soldiers on the front lines charged with the courage of millions, the archers fired their arrows until their fingers were bloodied and their mages casted their spells until they were drained. The number of demons were already down to half.

Meanwhile, Conquest charges at Ray and Claire with such speed, they were caught off guard. He slams his fists into them, simultaneously, sending them zooming backwards, their heels skidding across the floor. If felt like they had just been slammed in the stomach with a cannon ball, before either one of them could recover from the surprise punch, their heads were grabbed and slammed into each other's, rattling their brains. Before Conquest could do anything else however, Ray had placed his hands on Conquest's stomach, a flow of explosive flames rushed through his arms, releasing a massive explosion, sending Conquest zooming backwards.

“Are you alright?”, Ray asks Claire, worried that his flames may have burnt her.

“I’m fine. He just came out of nowhere that all. Caught me off guard. What about you.”, Claire asks.

“Yeah, I’m good, thanks to this Semi-perfect Flame aura, it didn’t hurt too much.”, Ray said smiling, thumbs up.

“Ha, that aura of yours is as sturdy if not more so than my armour.”, she says, holding where his fists had made contact. The armour has a faint fist sized dent in it, but other than that it was perfectly intact.

“We need to be careful. We don’t know if these demons have special abilities or not, since they are part of Bheldird’s ability. However, if he doesn’t do anything soon, we’re going to have to go all out, otherwise we’ll be the ones struggling.”, Ray states.

“Right, let's keep at it.”, Claire says seriously.

Ray gets down into a sprinters position, the flames building up in his feet.

“Let's do this!”, Ray says, as conquests stands there smiling.

Claire gets into a running stance and with grit speeds darts towards Conquests and begins an altercation, he swings his fist down at her, but she counters with a perfect sword swing, the gauntlets and sword, clang off each other, the clang loud and echoing through the sky. And so, the 2 engage in a constant back and forth of Claire countering Conquests attacks and vice versa, neither one of them gaining an advantage over the other.

Ray stays in the position, revving and charging his flames in his feet. He was getting ready to deliver one giant attack, with such immense speed, that Conquest wouldn’t be able to react. Claire was giving him time to increase his speed, the longer she holds out the faster and stronger he will get. As Rays flames get hotter and hotter, charging stronger and stronger, the flame begins to grow a very faint tinge of blue.

Claire swings her blade which is blocked by, Conquests fists, he had learnt her patter now, and was ready for a counter, by the time he had blocked with his left, his right was already swinging with a punch, however, Claire had seen this, her eyes moving faster than they were moving and had raised her right leg, as the fist connected with her foot and pushed her backwards, she took the momentum and used it to push off of and back-flip away.

It was as if he had teleported, one second, he was there, the next he wasn’t, it had caught Conquest, Claire and even himself off guard. In a split-second Rays feet had been planted square in Conquest's face. The speed, power and force Ray had generated was immense, as he passed through Conquest, his whole body flipped with the momentum. It was like a mountain had been dropped solely on his head. Before h knew it, he was upside-down, his head on the ground where his feet had previously been and his feet in the air. His face had been destroyed as his skull had pretty much shattered, his eyeballs had ruptured, his face was now a pile of mush.

But Ray wasn’t finished, as he landed on the floor, a mile away, he instantaneously spun and launched back towards Conquest, his fists out and spinning fast, he was spinning so fast that he had created a vortex of white flames and wind around him. He was now a flaming vortex, a flaming hurricane.
