Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Demonic Decedents. Enjoy the 800-word chapter. I don't own DMC, Hideki Kamiya, Capcom and a few others do.
Seth flipped out of the way of the beast that had attacked him, it was a massive snake. Seth could see that it was easily the the size of the buildings around him with spikes running alongside its paleish green scales with two crimson eyes.
"Well, I didn't know we had pests like that here." Seth joked as he reached for Damnation, the revolver resting on his side as the snake hissed at him.
"Human filth, you dare to track my master: Grendel, you shall be consumed like fertilizer! So, says the Demon General Nidhoggr!" Nidhoggr hissed while Seth smiled and drew Damnation while flipping out of the way of the Demon's tail.
"Always has to be me, doesn't it?" Seth asked as he fired the revolver while he rolled out of the way, Nidhoggr screeched as the rounds slammed into his hide, he rolled out of the way before another flick sent him rolling back.
Nidhoggr lunged at him while he drew Vendetta and blocked the fangs of the massive snake who then tossed a car at him. Seth cut it in half.
"Hey, you're going to run up my bill!" Seth yelled before he slashed Nidhoggr in the side, causing the snake to screech which caused more Demonic Soldiers to rush in.
"I am the commander of all Draugr in this city, boy! I will not be defeated by an ant!" Nidhoggr yelled before lunging at Seth who cut one of the Draugr in half.
Seth heard shooting, that meant Lady was nearby, he turned to see that more Draugr were rushing at him.
"I can't believe that he put a giant snake in charge of an army like this!" Seth yelled as he blocked Nidhoggr's fangs which lifted him off the ground due to the force of the blow.
He was slammed into a building by Nidhoggr, he felt pieces of glass and concrete crush and cut at his skin.
"Stupid human." Nidhoggr hissed as Seth was slammed into the wall, being pinned there by pieces of glass.
Nidhoggr turned to look at the Human woman there and grinned as she looked up at Seth.
"Your next, human. You will die like your ally here." Nidhoggr hissed before the part of the building exploded.
"What!" Nidhoggr yelled as Seth fell to the ground, he smashed the pane of glass that had hit him before tossing it into Nidhoggr who screeched and vanished, burrowing back into the ground.
He cut through 2 more Draugr and shot the last one before Lady looked at him in shock.
"You're not Human…" Lady said, Seth put his weapons away, dusting off his coat before turning to Lady.
"No, I'm not. I doubt we're see the end of him, if he's the General of these guys, then we're going to see them again." Seth said, he began to walk off before a shot near him caused him to see him again.
"What the hell? What was that for?" Seth asked, Lady marched up to him and looked into his eyes, she saw a resemblance to Dante, Seth was clearly older, but he was entirely like Dante in looks.
"Your related to him, aren't you? Your eyes are different, but you're like him, like Dante." Lady asked, Seth shrugged before turning around.
"I don't know, I don't entirely know. I might be, Lady. I know I'm not human." Seth said before he walked away, he paused only to turn and look at Lady.
"I'd go through the allies and backways, there's less of the Draugr there, their get more numerous and tougher the closer we get to the top of the city." Seth said before he vanished, Lady watched him leave before shooting a Draugr who tried to ambush her.
"This talk isn't even close to over, Seth." Lady muttered before she turned and walked another way, they'd cover more ground if they split up. She knew Seth was right, though, the closer they got to the top of the city, the more demons they'd run into.
Lady refused to let the Demons slow her down through, she had a job to do and she would handle it, she knew Seth could handle himself now.
She just didn't know how close she and Seth would get over time.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! Yes, I know this chapter is a bit short, I wanted to show Seth's combat skills and a bit of his fighting style. Next chapter will show Seth fighting his way through the city and another talk with Lady. Until next, next Wednesday, Lighting Wolf out!
PS: Lady and Seth will be romantically together soon.
