The Hunter took a swig from his flask as he listened to Red Demon, "I need you to lead the survivors out of the city. This battle will come here and no one will survive if the battle takes place among the city" the Hunter shrugged. "Do I need to come back?" he asked with a mellow tone. Red Demon merely shook his head, "No we are done after this" the Hunter nodded. "ALRIGHT! All those that can walk gather your things. Get carts and whatever you can with wheels. Load up the injured into them and head out. We leave this city in five minutes!" the Hunter yelled at the group of people. Red Demon expected them to protest, but they all got to work quickly. "Good luck to you, I'll take them through the south gate that was sealed" some of the civilians and the Seers opened the doors of a garage and fired up vehicles. They began loading people into the backs and packing people into the vehicles. The Hunter got into a truck-like vehicle and the wolf along with the other two beasts. They then turned down a street and were a train of vehicles travelling deeper into the city towards freedom.
Red Demon turned to this cohort, "You guys ready for this?" he asked. He realized this time around he needed assistance. He would usually be against this as it contradicted his role. But he knew he was soon running out of chi and this battle would weaken the king further if he was lucky. But this task he would need his cohort especially in the future. Now they needed to do this together as a first fight as a single cohort. The three nod at his question. Ghost Demon removed a sling and threw it to the ground he groaned in pain as he moved his shoulder around. "So what should we do first?" Sun Demon asked as she put her yellow mask on. "We buy the people time and we use the defenses of this place to distract them. Just enough time for the caravan to get to the gate, Ghost I want you as a scout watching the caravan. Smiling and I will use the guns, and Sun gets all the ammo you can find for the cannons. Let's save the people and then kill the king!" all four nodded and went to work.
Red and Smiling walked to the ramparts and stationed two guns opposite one another getting in place. Sun had a cart full of shells as she moved to each cannon laying down a pile of shells. She loaded Red's cannon and then Smiling's cannon. She kept moving and went to replenish the ammo cart. Ghost Demon climbed up a building and was able to see over the city. He could see the caravan of vehicles moving through the city. A big explosion erupted in the desert causing him to turn and stare at the battle taking place.
"Fire!" They began firing shells at the battle.
/////////////////
War King kicked the Warlock across the destroyed ground. He spun mid air and dug his flaming blade down and came to a sliding stop. He was battered, beaten, and bruised from head to toe. His robe was ripped and torn all over. He had blood coming down his forehead causing one eye to remain closed. He wiped the blood off his forehead and with his bare chest exposed he began to draw a rune with the blood. He placed a palm on it and the rune lit up burning into his skin as it glowed bright. He groaned in pain as his skin sizzled.
He felt some surge of energy from the spell. But it was artificial and temporary. From the side of them the ground then exploded from cannon fire from the city. The War King blocked a shell coming at him with his sword. It exploded around him and didn't seem to affect him. He looked at the Warlock and then with a flash was in front of him. The Warlock looked stunned as he couldn't move out of the way. He brought up his staff to block the slash coming down upon him. Time seemed to slow down as he tried to move fast. The sword cut through the staff and through the Warlock like a knife through butter. It happened so fast his mind couldn't process it. As he started to feel pain from his body erupted chaotic energy that cut through the sand landscape at the city. His body disintegrated into nothing in minutes.
The energy struck the walls cutting through it. The wall exploded and luckily missed the two cannons. Red and Smiling fired a barrage of missiles at the king. He slashed through two but was thrown back by three he missed. He tumbled around and regained his footing. Sliding to a stop he looked to the direction of the cannons. 'Using my very city against me? Well played!' fire engulfed his feet as he shot forward through the air like a bullet. "TAKE AIM!" Red Demon shouted. Smiling turned the cannon with Red aiming at the sky. They kept shooting till they were empty. The sky was a light with explosions that missed the king. He then slammed down into the wall's ramparts causing it to crack all the way down to the base of the wall. He turned his boar masked face at the three demons on the wall. Red Demon was running at him with swords in hands. He started attacking the king slashing at his chest and arm. The king dodged the attacks and slashed at Red Demon who ducked. The sword was then hit away with a spinning ax thrown at him. The impact threw the weapon backwards causing the king to become off-balanced. Then a beam of light hit him square in the chest sending him flying back. He fell to the ground and landed on a building breaking through the roof and falling inside. From the wall Ghost Demon phased through and expanded his shadow turning them into tentacles. They latched onto the king wrapping his arms, legs, and torso. He struggled against the living shadows and was distracted.
The three demons dropped down from the open roof and began attacking the king. Ghost joined in and now the king was surrounded. He used his armor's defense to block attacks and take them. He was getting angrier as the battle raged as he was now being hit and restrained all at once. He roared in anger and his body started to glow red. With a loud boom the building exploded sending the four flying or pinned by rubble. Smiling slammed into a wall and was now outside rolling across the ground. Ghost had part of a wall fall on his back. He phased through it in time and fell backwards outside the building. Red and Sun were pinned by debris, Red Demon taking most of the impact as he had stepped in front of Sun and was holding up the debris. "GO!" he yelled at her. She obliged and got up running out of the building he pushed the wall off and was then kicked in the back. He slammed through a broken wall appearing outside of the wrecked building. War King emerged from the wreckage with glowing eyes and a red aura that engulfed his body. "DID YOU SAY TO ME THE DREADED FACTION WOULD FALL TODAY? Appears you are full of false promises and threats, Slayer!" he picked Red up by his head and then threw his body up. He slammed an armored fist into his stomach sending him flying across the training grounds.
Sun Demon came from behind and drove her shoulder into his back. She kept moving and kicked him across the face now in front of him. She kept this up as her berserk power grew. Each attack's impact intensified, making the king go into defensive mode, slashing at her and swinging the sword randomly to throw her off. She used her light step ability to make her go fast. She was brandishing her spear and the tip started to glow bright white as she cut through his breast plate melting the metal. He was hit from the back by Smiling who slashed it with his scythe and with his power over metal sent an invisible force on the armor. The king fell forward taking a knee he blocked a spear attack with his left arm and gripped the spear by the shaft. He wretched it from her hands and kicked her. She rolled backwards and with each impact she the berserk power grew. She dug her hands into the ground clawing through the earth on all fours. She growled as she started running at the king driving a fist into his armored face and body. Dents started to show in the metal with each punch she then put her hands together as a ball of a light swirled in her hands. With a roar she drove it into the king's chest creating an energy blast. He flew through the air and slammed into the giant wall of the city. He was dazed and blood began to pour from under the mask. Standing in front of him were now all four demons armed, bruised, bloodied, and pissed. They all four started running towards him giving him no respite.
