"And I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you

I'm burnin', I'm burnin', I'm burnin' for you"

The second cultist made a dash for him, screaming in madness. He screamed incoherent words that doesn't make any sense. He was angered when the Protectorate had interrupted them. They were so close. Had he not intervened, their Lords would have arrived to accept their offerings.

A vertical slice to the face had stopped the cultist in his journey. He fell to the side with blood spraying out of his face. Blackshot whirled to the right and slammed the hilt of his machete at the face of his third target. The cultist cursed at him and grabbed the Protectorate's shoulder plate. She screamed and tried to pull it free but the Praetorian Battle Gear is too durable for Demons to break, let alone a female cultist with no combat experience. Blackshot sent a kick at her chest, tripping her to the ground. His armored boot was pressed against her body, pinning her to the ground as Blackshot twirled the machete downwards. He drove the pointed tip at her nose bridge, destroying the rest of her face.

Rolling to the left, he narrowly dodged the long hammer that almost crushed his skull. His attacker let out a crying lament as he stared at his dead comrade. In an instant, his mood changed and began furiously smashing the corpse of his fellow cultist. Blackshot wasted no time as he decapitated him with a vertical strike at the head of the distracted cultist. He turned behind him and felt something hit his chest. An axe that had flown from nowhere hit him.

He pulled the axe free from his chest; blood flowed freely in every step he took. He healed it with a thought; light escaped from his wound, sealing itself up. He charged at the nearest cultist and hacked her left leg off. She fell face-first into the mud. Blackshot sliced her neck off, separating her head from her body. He glanced behind him and wildly swung. A scream of pain can be heard followed by a wet splash of organs spilling out. He had gutted someone without knowing it.

She felt her body being lifted up. Slowly, she opened her eyes to see a blue face that resembled a fish, but it looked humanoid more than anything else. It lacked a hair and a nose but it possessed red fish-like eyes and a fanged mouth. Three strips of what looked like its gills can be seen on its forehead. It was armored in all black with the left shoulder plate resembling a spike pointing upwards and its right shoulder possessed a smaller plate reinforcement that could not hardly be noticed by unobservant eye. A long rifle can be seen hanging on their waists. She also noticed that they were covered in disgusting green moss and what's worse?

There are many of them walking behind the entity carrying her.

She squirmed again but the entity holding her was too strong.

Until she heard that something is happening above the hole she was in.
