Counterattack (5) - Aftermath, and cost

"Ummm..." Eldrian couldn't get out any words. Despite Ceph's speed, the shockwave had reached them and sent them tumbling. Eldrian was sure Ceph was alright, but at the moment his attention was robbed by the destruction he had wrought.

Where the blood monster once had stood, was now a crater of lava. The surrounding was scorched and flames were spreading through the fields. Thanks to the light of these spreading fires, the carnage was visible for all to see. Gloomily lit under the night sky by the flickering flames. 

"Luckily, the devils were far enough from the walls..." Eldrian mumbled, looking at said walls. The sight wasn't pretty. All the attacking enemies were now just guts and broken bodies splattered against the walls. 

Despite having experienced plenty of carnage, the sight was enough to have Eldrian waver and his stomach quiver. "I hope they listened to my warning, but... three may have been too many."
