Genuinely curious

Thump!

THUMP!

THUMPPP!!!

The demon started thumping pretty loudly. Almost like a beating heart but there was something different. Something sinister. 

The black goo had mostly littered the ground and now it was slowly spreading. A soldier came into contact with the goo and the goo just consumed the soldier in a second. "ARHHRHRHR!"

Only the soldier's armor and a chilling scream remained. The alligator was also consumed. And the goo started spreading rapidly. 

Meanwhile, the demon thumped louder and with higher frequency. 

"We don't have time!" Neira grabbed my hand. "Let's get out of here as fast as we can!" She and I backtracked.

She was frightened and that pained expression of hers was rubbing me the wrong way. 

She probably knew the town couldn't be saved anymore. 

And we weren't going to make it either. 

But I didn't go. 

Rather. "Don't worry. I had to deal with this army eventually."
