Chapter 43: Eight Shadows and a Demon
"Damn it, we’re late," Tyris cursed, stepping to the side as a panicked woman sped past her.
She then turned to the nearest shadow and shoved him to the side. "Evacuate everyone in the nearby area now!"
Just as she finished her statement, the demon finally stopped thrashing, it rose to its feet, standing at an impressive nine feet in height.
"Get ready!" Her second in command, Galius screamed and the shadows took out their weapons.
Dual short swords, Naginatas, a Kusarigama and even a Bowie knife were all on display.
As for Tyris...
She reached for the sword sheath strapped to her back and pulled out her sword, the blade making a metallic shrill and it slid out of its confines.
Tyris held the blade with both arms as she stared down her opponent. It was a long curved blade longer than her arm and bearing runic patterns for reinforcement.
The blade was silver with a faint blue tint and its hilt had a rough textured grip, making it a pleasure to hold.
The sword was a Tachi, a weapon she had gotten once when she traveled abroad.
The demon opened its eyes and the oppressive feeling it was radiating deepened as its red eyes roamed from man to man, eventually settling on Tyris.
