A horrified silence fell over the party as Kelsey's head exploded, blood and brain chunks flying out and splattering across the ground, her arms slumping to her sides as blood streamed down her corpse from the stump left around her neck.

"N-No, no, no...no, no, NO, NO, NO!!! I-I'LL...I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!" Screamed Keira in an anguished rage, tears streaming down her face as a powerful gust of wind burst out around her.

She shot up into the air before charging towards the Archdemon in a blind rage, an intense mass of wind swirling between her hands.

"How foolish," Scoffed the Demon, as he tossed Kelsey's body away and licked the blood off his fingers.

She swooped down towards him with a furious yell before unleashing the charged up wind as she whipped her arms down, triggering a devastating eruption as a powerful gust of wind burst out across the entire space, a dust cloud rising up.

Keira flew back before roaring as she fired out a relentless barrage of wind blasts into the dust cloud, which billowed out thicker and wider with every blast, the Ice Mage joining in with a volley of rapid icicles.

Suddenly, the Archdemon zipped out of the dust cloud, a few small cuts across his face and arms, which closed up in an instant as he shot towards Keira.

Dark energy swirled around his right fist as he closed in on her in the blink of an eye, before whipping his arm across with immense speed, his arm moving in a rapid blur.

A sharp crunch rang out as the back of his fist slammed onto Keira's right side, crushing her ribs before sending her hurtling across to her left, her left side slamming against the wall before she lost consciousness as the side of her head thudded against it as well.

"Hm, she managed to weaken my strike with a burst of wind right upon impact. No matter, she will likely die before she ever regains consciousness," He shrugged, as she slumped against the ground, blood pouring out of her mouth.

"Damien, we need more buffs!" Exclaimed the Ice Mage, as the Enchantments he'd cast on us earlier wore off.

He can't cast the same buffs on us again for a while, so he'll have to use weaker ones...I suppose it's better than nothing, but it isn't going to be enough.

"[Low Mana Recovery], [Low Stamina Recovery], [Mid Reinforce], [Mid Accel], [Mid-...]...!" He chanted as fast as he could, before the Archdemon suddenly spread out his wings and shot up into the air, swooping down towards the back line with blinding speed.

Damien stumbled back as the Archdemon landed right in front of him, before springing back and crossing his arms in front of himself as the Monster charged up a swirling Negative Energy blast, before firing it.

The blast slammed onto Damien's arms, shattering the bones upon impact with a sharp, sickening crunch, before launching him back rapidly through the air.

His back slammed onto the wall above the tunnel entrance as he coughed out blood, his eyelids fluttering shut as he fell off the side of the wall and hit the ground with a thud.

His forearms were completely mangled, and it looked like he'd sustained serious internal damage too, he likely would've died instantly if he didn't get his arms up in time, it looked like he cast some buffs on himself to boost his defense too.

Aria and I shot towards the Archdemon as fast as we could as he turned his attention to the Healer, who flinched before the Ice Mage fired out several ice needles towards the Archdemon while backing away.

Without even glancing that way, he whipped his arm across with a burst of dark energy, blasting the needles away before he shot towards the Healer, driving his claws forward.

She gasped in agony as his claws pierced straight into her stomach and burst out her back, before he flung her away as he swung his arm out, streaks of blood spraying across the air as she went flying across, hitting the ground with a thud and skidding across the dirt as she bled out rapidly.

I put on a burst of speed and raced forward as the Archdemon shook the blood of his arm, before I leapt forward and grabbed the Ice Mage's shoulder, pulling her back as the Monster shot straight towards her rapidly and slashed down at the top of her head with his claws, which I just barely blocked with my blade, slicing his claws off before manifesting Ravage and snapping at his head.

He ducked under it with ease, starting to drive his claws towards my throat before his gaze darted across as Aria zipped in and leapt towards him from the left, striking the side of his head with a Flame Lance, an intense burst of heat erupting out as she struck him, a small scorched spot across the skin around that spot.

He began to reach out towards her while simultaneously sending his tail zipping up towards me, before he stumbled back slightly as I unleashed Void for a split-second, the gravitational force pulling him off-balance.

Aria and I quickly sprang back, getting some distance away from him, the Ice Mage hanging back behind us as the Archdemon cracked his neck with a sigh.

"This is starting to get boring now...I suppose it is time I end this, it doesn't seem like you humans will be able to provide me with any additional entertainment," He remarked, before raising his arm and forcing a massive, swirling sphere of Negative Energy, steadily expanding it before launching it towards us as he swung his arm down.

"Get behind me!" I yelled, stepped before and manifesting Ravage, expanding the jaws of energy as wide as possible as the sphere barreled towards us.

I swallowed up the middle of the mass of energy as it closed in on us, the ground on either side of me getting torn apart and carved out as the sphere lost shape and erupted, bursting out and roaring across either side of me as I swallowed up as much of it as I could.

As the energy began to peter out, my eyes widened as the Archdemon shot through the dissipating energy and slashed at my head.

I tilted my head across to the left as fast as I could, before letting out a stifled gasp of pain as the edge of one of his claws sliced across my right eye, blinding me before he drove his knee towards the middle of my torso.

I chanted as quickly as I could to summon Luxuria, whose back slammed onto me as the Archdemon's knee collided against her with immense force, right as Aria shot past me and drove her right fist towards the Archdemon's solar plexus as she chanted...

"[High Accel Flame Lance]!"
