"HAHA! UNRELENTING DEATH AND DESTRUCTION?" Verdict, without a second thought, charges headfirst into the chamber, signature warhammer in his hands.

Hollow stands there, wordlessly, simply watching as his friend drops himself headfirst into certain danger and potential death. He shakes his head, and slowly brings himself to sit on the ground, legs crossed to meditate. His blackflame traced an elaborate series of runes on the ground, symbols of arrows and wind replacing the ones that had previously been of hammers and shields that Verdict's summoning sign had.

Verdict however, was face to face with the Old Demon Lord, which reminded him of a Old Demon King he and Hollow had fought only a few nights ago, surrounded by the corpses of the king's subjects. It was a good night that night, strange how the king stayed around the corpses for that long though.

"Mortal, you seem to have finally-" "FIGHT ME!" "What buffoonery-" "GET DOWN HERE AND FIGHT ME, COWARD!" The demon lord cocked his head, and extended his wings outwards, the massive span of his bone-adorned wings covering his side of the room. He flapped his wings once, the gust of wind blowing back all the jingling adornments coating Verdict's armor, who stood adamantly against the vile creature.

"You. You want to fight me''?" "WHY ARE WE STILL TALKING?" "You're not some lucky Order scum or something, right?"'' "I AM GOING TO KILL YOU NOW." Without a hesitant thought, Verdict spun around, and slammed his hammer into the demon lord, who caught the swing with a single hand. "No, no, you don't get to do that yet." A blast of infernal energy shunted Verdict back through the door, landing him next to Hollow.

"GRR. MAGIC USER." Hollow nodded once slowly, as if he were in a trance. Verdict slowly stood from the heap he was in and regained his bearings, looking down at the chicken scratch Hollow was making. "WAIT, YOU'RE NOT GONNA-" A black hood emerged from the sign, a slender and tall figure rising from the site of the ritual. She was dressed in a large, overbearing, black cloak, with padded leather armor underneath. Her face was cloaked, but she was most certainly a woman, by her shape of her 'armor', if you catch what leggings had to be customized for her personal fitting. An elaborate shortbow rested on her back, quiver at her thigh.

"Seriously needed my help for a demon? Don't you kill those for fun?" '''"Different this time." "Yeah. You needed my help for some stupid demon lord? Unlikely. Why'd you summon me Atraxas?"''' Verdict bellowed again, and charged back into the room alone. "I see." Hollow solemnly nodded, and watched as Verdict was sent flying out of the room again. A mystical wave of blue mist floated just in front of the woman's cloaked face, coalescing into a tin full of small multicolored pellets. "This'll be funny. How many more times before he learns?" Another thud, the wall was beginning to grow crack lines. She popped a candy into her mouth. 12 tally marks appeared on the ground, just as Verdict's thunderous crash buried him into the wall again. '"That's probably accurate." 'Another crash, the wall having a Verdict-sized impression on it now. "I-" He heaved. '''"I THINK... HE'S WEAKENED NOW." '''He bent over, catching his breath. "I GOT HIM ALL SOFTENED UP FOR YOU GUYS NOW." A forlorn finger pointed towards the door. "HE'S GOT ALL THIS.... STUFF... JUST FELL HIM ALREADY. I'LL REST RIGHT-" He fell on his ass "HERE.". Hollow slapped his hand against the ground in frustration. 7 tally marks to his predicted 12.

'"Oh well. I think he's 'softened' up enough at least." 'He nodded, and turned his head to face the group. "I didn't think you would try to replace us Hollow!" Her fingers creeped along his shoulders, but he brushed them off. She giggled as he did so. "Usually, Verdict's a little more headstrong than that, so whatever demon lord in there is more powerful than we have dealt with. Be careful everyone." "Pffft." He elbowed Huntress absentmindedly at her comment. "Alright weakling, let's go fight that big scary 'demon' then." She barely cast a glance to the rest of the group, before moving along with Hollow into the chamber.
