kicks a loose stone aside, eyes narrowing "Yo, didn't expect you here. What's the damn deal?"
I heard a rumor that you might be working with the O.O.S. again? Is it true?
leans against a crumbling pillar, crossing arms "Rumors, huh? Can't trust everything you hear, my friend."
So you’re saying that they’re false then?
smirks, steps closer to Matthew "Well, let's just say I have my ways of making things happen.
And what’s in it for you? Money? Fame? Sex? Power? or something else entirely.
narrows his eyes, smirking "Power, my friend. The rush, the control... it's addictive. And with the O.O.S., I've got access to all of it."
I chuckle softly and tap the tip of your nose. You little devil. A fellow demon-hunter who likes power. If I had a coin for every demon hunter like us there would be no poverty on this planet.
snaps his fingers, causing flames to flicker around them "Devil? More like an angel of hell, my friend. But hey, we make quite the duo, don't we?"
Indeed we do my good sir. I give you a salute before lowering my hand. Though I’m a bit more effective at killing demons than you are. Not trying to brag or anything I’m just saying what we both know is true.
smirks, raising an eyebrow "Oh really? You think you're the demon-killing king, huh? Well, let's put that to the test, shall we?"
I smirk back at you. Let’s do just that my dear fellow.
clenches his fists, a wicked grin spreading across his face "Alright then, prepare yourself!
What exactly are we preparing for? I doubt either of us have any clue on how many demons are down below but I’ve got everything I need right here.I take out my sword and inspect it
cracks his knuckles, eyes blazing with determination "No clue? No problem! We'll tear through those bastards like they're nothing!"
Agreed. Also I think I heard something about two red orbs by one of the aisles. Those probably have eyes on them.
<As Nero and Matthew venture deeper into the cathedral, they come face to face with a horde of demons, outnumbering them tenfold. Despite their valiant efforts, they are soon overwhelmed and gravely injured.>
I quickly cut the demon in front of me in half as it leaps towards me and move to help you. Hang on man. I’ll get you out of this mess.
grits his teeth, adrenaline coursing through his veins "Damn it, man! Help is not gonna cut it! We need a plan!"
Give me a damn moment! It isn’t easy fighting these guys off. They keep coming and coming, eventually overwhelming us completely. They chain us together and drag us off to a location unknown to us.
struggles against the chains, anger burning in his eyes "Damn it! These bastards won't know what hit 'em! We've gotta find a way outta here!"
Don’t worry. We can burn them to a crisp. I’ll free us and we’ll torch the whole place.
narrows his eyes, scanning the surroundings "No time to waste! Look for any loose stones, rusty hooks, anything we can use to break free!"
After several minutes of searching I finally found one. I pull it loose and hack at the chains binding us freeing myself. Once I’m free I grab your shoulder and touch the pendant you always wear as a necklace. The flames surrounding us begin to multiply until there’s enough to burn the entire location down and engulf ourselves in flames. I wave my sword in front of the now approaching demons and watch them melt away into nothingness. Hmm. Didn’t think it’d work.
laughs triumphantly, his eyes sparkling with excitement "Hell yeah! Who needs plans when you've got badass skills and a kickass trick up your sleeve?
I didn’t think these guys would have fire immunities. This should make things easier…
throws a quick glance at the scattered demons, cracking his knuckles "Alright, time to turn up the heat! Let's dance, you fiery bastards!"
Yes sir! I rush towards the first group of demons swinging my sword as wildly as I can, killing some instantly and others after a couple of seconds of battling.
grinning maniacally, darts between the demons, unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks "Eat this, you motherfuckers!"
Once they’re all dead I grab your shoulder again and extinguish our flames. Need any healing my man?
breathing heavily, wiping sweat off his brow "Hell yeah, I could use some healing! Pour it on me, buddy!"
I touch your shoulder and heal you. The chains we were previously chained with are lying on the ground near our feet, broken in half. We take a quick moment to rest before the earthquakes caused by us killing so many demons begin. Our cathedral is slowly crumbling around us. Looks like we need to be going.
jumps to his feet, excitement coursing through his veins "Damn straight, we need to get the hell outta here before this place collapses on us!"
We’re able to escape the cathedral just before the roof falls in on itself.
paces back and forth, adrenaline rushing through his veins "Man, that was intense! We really gave those demons a taste of hell, huh?"
No doubt about it. Now where were we headed next? I lost track of time.
<As Nero and Matthew catch their breath and assess their surroundings, they notice a group of heavily armed mercenaries approaching their location. The mercenaries are hired by the Order of the Sword to capture or eliminate any rogue demon hunters, including Nero and Matthew.>
Damn it! More work to do today. Don’t worry we’ll get through it easy.
rolls his eyes, cracking his knuckles "Fuckin' mercenaries, always trying to ruin our fun.
We’ve killed so many of them recently though. It feels good to kill people who want to kill us.
smirks, cracking his neck "Oh, trust me, I live for this shit! Time to show these dipshits what happens when they mess with us!"
Alright. I’ll follow your lead.
grins mischievously "Follow my lead, huh? Well, buckle up, my friend, 'cause this is gonna be one hell of a ride!
The Mercenaries set up spikes along our only visible path. The spikes are barbed and sharp, tipped with poison and fire. Our backs are to a cliff and there’s no visible way to climb it. Quite a set up they’ve got here.
examines the spike trap, a devious smile forming on his lips "Well, well, well, looks like we've got ourselves a little obstacle course, huh?
I touch the spikes and they begin to melt, but it’s too slow to help us right now. Time to test out that gun I never use. I whip out a rifle, loaded with magic infused bullets.
grinning, pulling out his own weapon "You call that a gun? That thing looks like it belongs in a museum!
It’s worked wonders in the past.
chuckles "Well, if you insist on using that ancient relic, be my guest. But let me show you how a real weapon gets the job done!"
