The demon's speed was terrifying, a blur of motion as it charged with lethal intent. Its power dwarfed anything they had ever faced before, a grotesque monster forged from the dead bodies of the demons they had already killed—a hideous amalgamation of fury and vengeance.
With a thunderous growl, the demon swiped at Athoi. She barely raised her sword in time to block the savage claw attack, but the sheer force of the blow sent tremors down her arm. The demon, seizing the opportunity, gripped her by the shoulder and slammed her violently into the ground. The impact cracked the earth beneath her, leaving her stunned.
Nabil rushed in from the side, sword gleaming as he aimed for the demon's exposed flank. His blade met the creature's skin but barely managed to scratch it. In response, the demon lashed out, a sweeping kick that sent Nabil skidding across the battlefield, his back scraping against jagged rocks.
