Green energy was preventing them. It was Kyle and Myles erecting a barrier to keep them out of the room. It looked like they were slowly but surely hacking their way in the barrier. I knew they would slaughter them if they made their way through. Nymorin and I looked at each other. We were on the same page. Both of us casted Fireballs at the collection of assailants. They did not die to the first salvo, but they were very messed up. Another round was able to get rid of them. Having the element of surprise was great. The room that Vohrear was in was left ajar. I slowly opened it and looked inside. Vohrear was dead. His face showed a look of horror. A spear was plunged through his skull. It was sick. Now that the dark deed was revealed, his body began to dissipate. I then rejoined Kyle, Myles and Nymorin. The pair of air elementals were worse for wear. They got scratched up a lot before they got the barrier up. I did not want to risk them dying. The same was true for Nymorin. "You guys stay here. I'll see who else is alive and rescue them now. Keep safe." I ordered. It was time to go back in.
Catching us off guard was partially on us. I should have spoken up sooner and made sure that this did not happen. We might have had to fight, but we would all be totally unified. All the incubi that were in the rooms were dead. I was pissed off. Walking to the front again, I saw that only Zaranarax, Grulilan, Ororin and Nyrear were alive. 8 demons were left. That meant it was a 2 on 1 fight for all of them. My squad members were all on their last legs. I had to prioritize doing as much damage as possible. It was life or death for them. Casting Steel Wind Strike actually killed 3 of them. The other 2 were still standing, but crippled. The 3 that I was not able to attack were able to get their hits in. Ororin was impaled in the throat by a lance and I saw the life was drain from her. It was gross to see her skin shrivel up and decay. She died almost instantly. 2 of the demons swiped at me. I got hacked in the side by a scythe and beaten over the head with a great club. That hurt. The others weathered the blows now that I was here to take some heat off. Grulilan and Zaranarax killed their own opponents.
Yanking my thin dagger across the throat of the demon with the scythe was enough to kill him. A demon with a wand pointed at Nyrear and shot lightning at him. Nyrear's body was shocked to death when his eyes popped out of his head and the skin turned pitch black. I cast Fireball to kill him in revenge. Grulilan, Zaranarax and I were able to kill the last demons together. It was a really close call. Even though the bodies disappeared, all the black blood and gore splattered around did not. It was like a horror film. I brought Grulilan and Zaranarax to the back. Kyle, Myles and Nymorin were also safe. Only the 6 of us survived. That meant we lost 10 incubi to this brazen attack. It was the end of the club. We had taken out 20 demons. They would certainly notice this and return. Calling Hollin was useless. We wanted to be neutral. What would he be able to do now? Even if he could protect us, that kind of arrangement would not be free. Larry was our property lawyer. Without Ororin, there was nothing to keep him loyal to us. Quitting while we all were still standing was probably for the best.
