I entered the vacant harem, and, surprisingly, everything looked normal. Maybe Drognan was pulling my leg by telling me that there were demons down here? Not likely. I went down another floor, and saw bodies everywhere, demon and human. It was utterly disgusting. Some had teeth marks on their skin that were too big to be human while others appeared to torn limb from limb. Whatever demons did this had to be enormously strong. Quickly, I called for two wolves and a few ravens to give me a little help before I went on.
Just as I went down another staircase into the palace cellar, I heard a distinct growling noise that wasn't one of my animals. I drew my sword, and prepared for a fight. That was good because the second I came to level ground, a huge black skinned, red-eyed demon threw it self at me. I was able to side step its mad lunge, and quickly severed its spine with a stabbing motion to the neck. You see, that was a mistake because its friends, about a hundred other demons, weren't too happy about that. Everything from little dolls wielding steak knives to enormous four armed swordsmen came at me. I used my nature magic to great effect. Volcanoes, tornadoes, and even huge masses of molten rock came from me, destroying anything in their path. Even so, many survived, and gave me a real fight. The four armed swordsmen were particularly nasty while the little possessed dolls were a mere annoyance as they didn't have the strength to break my armor, and usually went down with a good solid kick.
The battle lasted about forty minutes, and wore me out. Demons with their heads cut off, limbs cut off, or with huge gashes in their skin laid all around me. Some even had teeth marks from my wolves, and others had their eyes pecked out from the flock of ravens I had summoned. A few bottles of red and white lie around me dropped by the dying demons. I looked at a red bottle, and wondered if it was poison. But, I was thirsty to no end, so I took a gulp. It not only quenched my thirst rather effectively, but, rather surprisingly, it healed the multiple wounds had incurred. I took a drink from the small whitish test tube bottles, and found that I was no longer tired by any manner of speaking.
I smiled and whispered," Hm. Health and stamina potions. I love these things" It was good that I was now fresh again because another enormous wave of demons came at me, and looked a little annoyed that I had killed their friends.
I didn't even waste my time with this wave, and just took care of the ones that were in my way. I fought and fought and fought until, before I knew it, I went down a couple of floors and was standing before a large portal with an arch of what looked like bone. It looked like I had found what I was looking for. Quietly, I stepped through, but I still had no idea what was coming for me in the tomb of Tal Rasha.
