Chapter 161: Demons, Part 4

Oh, Goddesses, oh goddesses. Those were minions. He'd forgotten demons could do that. Fuck. How was he supposed to fight two demons and eight minions? Telmé yanked his sword free and forced his thought past the white-hot panic that filled it.

Hot. Fire. It had worked for him so far, and it seemed to be the only thing he was good at. Wrapping both of his hands around the hilt of his sword, he thought fire fire fire.

Telmé jumped back as it abruptly took, brilliant hellfire bursting to life along the ward, then moving in an ever shrinking ring toward the demons and minions. Two of the minions growled and lunged at the flames. Telmé screamed and threw more power behind the fire. The minions hit the fall of fire and burst into flames themselves, their agonized, dying shrieks filling the clearing.
