Chapter 13: Die
"[Wind Burst]!" Exclaimed one of the Inquisitors as Raven shot towards him with a vicious snarl, unleashing an intense blast of wind to push Raven back, briefly halting his momentum, right as another Inquisitor zipped across to his right and drew out a curved dagger, swinging it across at Raven's elbow.
The blade struck the gap between his scales around his joint, cutting through his skin and slicing into his flesh before coming to a stop halfway through, before the Inquisitor unleashed a powerful burst of flames from her elbow to generate more force, the blade slicing throughand severing his forearm, blood spraying out.
His forearm hit the ground with a thud as blood poured out of the stump that was left of his arm, a vicious snarl ringing out as Raven fiercely turned his gaze towards the Inquisitor, who began to back away.
"That immense Aura startled me, but whatever he is, he's nothing more than a wild beast, we have nothing to-...," She began, before abruptly trailing off in shock as Raven's arm rapidly regenerated and reached out towards her with immense speed, grabbing the top of her head before she could get out of his reach.
She let out an alarmed yell and began to swing her dagger at his wrist as she coated the blade in flames, before a sickening crunch and squelch rang out as he crushed her skull like an egg, her body going limp as her mask shattered and fell off, blood and brain chunks flying out before Raven tossed her away and unleashed a fierce eruption of flames into the alley as the remaining Inquisitors began to surround him and charge in in unison, forcing them to scatter before he let out a snarl and shot towards one of them at a blinding speed, his movements little more than a blur to them.
"N-no, wait-...!" The Inquisitor exclaimed as Raven closed in on him, before he was interrupted as Raven sank his fangs into the man's neck and jerked his head across, ripping the man's head right off his shoulders.
He flung the disembodied head aside as blood sprayed out of the Inquisitor's neck and splattered the walls of the buildings on either side of the alley as the body fell over and hit the ground with a thud, before Raven swiftly spun around as a bolt of lightning came shooting towards him, hitting his chest but doing no damage, right as the Inquisitor who'd fired the Spell closed in on him, holding a dagger with the blade coated in intense, crackling lightning.
As he drove the dagger towards Raven's chest, Raven swiftly reached out and grabbed the man's neck, extending out his claws and piercing into his throat, eliciting a choked gasp of pain from him before Raven unleashed a devastating burst of purple lightning from his hand, the man's body stiffening up sharply before going limp, his eyes sizzling as wisps of smoke flowed out of his mouth, nostrils and ears.
"You damned Monster!" Snapped one of the remaining two Inquisitors, starting to charge up a a Wind Spell, before collapsing onto his knees with a gasp of pain as a couple of smoking holes appeared around the middle of his chest, as Raven swiftly turned his gaze that way and fired out his eye beams before the Inquisitor could even react, the beams piercing through his chest and shooting out his back.
"Sh-shit, I'm out of here!" Exclaimed the last Inquisitor in terror, who unleashed a burst of flames from the soles of his feet to launch himself up towards the rooftop to the left of the alley, zipping up as Raven let out a monstrous roar and chased after him.
As the Inquisitor landed atop the building, his eyes widened in alarm as Tacitus and Celia stepped in his way, blocking his path to escape.
