DOOM II

by WinterS794

One-and-a-half years after the events of DOOM (2016), the Doom Slayer has finally found a way to escape the clutches of Hell, and hopefully a way to reclaim his sword, the Crucible. DOOM II strives to maintain the fast pace of the Doom franchise, and boasts twenty chapters of intense action, new guns, new demons, and a new story. *DOOM II contains intense violence, blood, and gore

23. Chapter XVIII - Against Thee Wickedly

I stood, bathed in demon blood, in the courtyard of Castrum Deimos. The red sky was fractured by white lightning. Soon after, a loud roar of thunder resonated. In front of me were two large, wooden doors. I reloaded my guns, ensured my remaining armor was in place, and pushed the doors wide open.

Behind the doors was a large worshiping chamber. At least fifty Unwilling were knelt around a large altar, praying silently to whatever demonic idol they worshiped. These poor souls had been converted to slaves. Regardless of their origin, they were demons and had to die. As I finished the last one off, the Unmaker glowed crimson as it harvested their souls

When the last of the Unwilling fell, a wall in the worshiping chamber raised to reveal a secret passage. Since I saw no other path, I entered. I was being led by something, and I was going along with it. The secret doorway led down, to a darkness so thick that light didn't touch it. I had entered the Tomb of Malevolence.
