Chapter 5: Returned Foes
Raziel rolled out of the way, as the Black Demon's foot crushed the spot where he used to be. Raziel flew into the air. He was going to try to hit them with his dive attack, but was smacked in the chest with a fireball. The Black Demons were letting out as many fireballs as they could, trying to draw Raziel in towards them.
Raziel landed, he knew his Soul Reaver couldn't charge up in battle like it had when he previously fought these demons. This was a disadvantage. He ran for the leading one. He sliced at its knee, only to be kicked away, grabbed brought up to eye level, and blasted away by a fist the size of Raziel's torso.
Raziel got up, and shot multiple, but equally powerful projectiles at the Black Demon. It blocked most of them, but while it was blocking, Raziel was beating his wings, and he fired a huge, built up projectile at it. It fell to the ground, unconscious.
Raziel took to the air; the other Black Demons were dumbfounded, not moving. Raziel finished his first foe, but instead of stopping, he flew at the demon on the left. It snapped back to reality and blocked, as Raziel expected, he then used his wings to scratch the demon's eyes, when it lost vision, a simple finishing move took him out easily enough. There was one left, it hit Raziel from behind, this blow caused the Soul Reaver to deactivate. Raziel was on his own, if he tried to devour a soul, he would be struck by a fireball.
The battle was getting one sided, in favor of the last Black Demon. Raziel had weakened greatly, and was taking more hits. Raziel had to think of something quick, or he was finished. The Demon slammed its fists down on Raziel, and he dodged and rammed the Soul Reaver in its eye, the creature fell to the ground, clutching its face.
Raziel finished him off, and devoured the souls, he was back to full strength, and flew over to join the battle. The Fire Demons were surprisingly not turning the tide of the battle. As Raziel guessed, about three of the well-trained warriors, and were holding their own and the leaders such as Kain and the others were defeating enemy after enemy.
Jalion blasted through a Fire Demon, low-blocked the swipe of a Lighting Demon, and stabbed through it.
Vorador used his favorite vampiric technique: Inflammation. The Acid and Gas Demons in front of him burst into flame, and he slashed away a Sarafan warrior.
Kain took to the air again, and created another ball of energy, this one was made to obliterate even more enemies. When Kain dropped, a great number of foes fell. He then used the Soul Reaver to slash, stab, and swipe the Hylden in front of him.
Once Raziel had joined the battle, it became one sided, this time in favor of Kain's forces. He was energized and completely restored by the souls of the Black Demons. He slew many before he even began to slow down, eventually, the battle was won. The side of Raziel's was victorious.
* * *
There was a celebration and feast a day after the battle, fewer warriors were lost than ever before, and a very large number of enemy casualties. This was one of the greater battles in this war, and they had won it.
At the head, sat Raziel, Kain, Vorador, and Jalion. Naturally, Jalion was the only one eating. The room was strange; one side was feasting and celebrating, while the other was merely celebrating.
Raziel discarded the thought and decided to speak to Kain.
"Do you think this battle had any significance, Kain?" He asked.
"Of course, even the smallest battles hold sway to the winner in a war," Kain said smiling. "Most of all, we crushed their most powerful weapon, their pride."
"Yes indeed, they will not take our forces for granted anymore, however," Vorador said, overhearing the conversation.
"I do believe we can handle them, our warriors have not been so excited for ages," Kain said. "We should think about this later, and celebrate now."
Raziel accepted that, and the celebration continued. The warriors slept that night with all new confidence for this war.
Author's Note: Well, the battle was a success, and by the looks of it, a great one. But does the enemy have more to show than meats the eye? It may be awhile until anyone knows. Please Review!!! Later.
