"What is this place? And why did you say another one?" Rosie asked after she stepped inside, and got the notification as well. The others entered soon after, and they all seemed confused about the notification as well.
"We found another of these dungeon to the east, called Goblin Cave. As far as I could tell, it was the home Goblin's home." Xavier said, and took out his daggers while looking around warily.
"So more than likely, this place is the imps home." Rosie said and tightened her grip on her sword. Everyone tightened their grip on their weapons as well, while looking around warily.
"No use standing around here, let's see what's inside this place." Xavier said as he walked forward. Mickey and Maria quickly followed behind him while the others nervously did the same after a few seconds. They wondered through the obsidian ruins of the dungeon, and Xavier looked around at the broken buildings, and he noticed dried blood splatter, and claw marks. He looked at a few of the buildings and noticed that some of the stones seemed like they were melted through. As they continued their exploration, the scent of death became more and more intense, forcing them to cover their nose.
"What the fuck?!" One of the recruits exclaimed, and Xavier quickly covered his mouth. Infront of them, was a pile of over a hundred rotting imp corpses, half eaten with their chests ripped out. Maria, Bella and Anna, covered their mouths while looking at this scene in horror.
'Why would the imps be killing each other.....could it be for the monster stones?' He wondered as he remembered something. When that Goblin Warrior killed the Goblin Archer, he took out it's monster stone. They knew that the monster stones could be used to exchange for points in the Orb of Eldara, but they had no idea what monsters used them for.
*Whooosh*
Xavier looked up as he heard the sound of flapping wings, and in the sky, he could see a humanoid monster with wide bat like wings, red skin, jagged horns in it's forehead and a long red tail. It was as tall as an adult human and it's crimson eyes were glaring at them, and it stopped flying and stood on top of a tall, broken building. Squinting his eyes, Xavier could make out orange letters above it's head.
Diabolic Imp E+
"Everyone get ready." Xavier said as he had a bad feeling about this monster. The others quickly prepared for battle and Xavier saw the creature grin, before it kicked off the building with a loud boom. Xavier could barely follow it with his eyes, and he was only able to barely block it's claws with his blades. Xavier was sent flying into a wall, knocking the air out of his lungs, as he fell to the ground. Mickey's eyes widened when he saw this, and he nearly shared the same fate, but the monster struck his shield instead, and he was sent sliding across the ground.
The monster looked at this amusedly, when an arrow came flying towards him, but it whipped it out of the air with its tail. He turned towards Maria, and a fireball the size of a tennis ball formed in it's hand, and it sent it flying towards Maria. Her eyes widened as it struck her in the stomach and exploded, sending her sprawling on the ground. Everyone looked at her in shock, as she laid sprawled on the ground, the recruits started trembling in fear and Rosie and the others looked at the monster while gritting their teeth.
One of the recruits ran towards the broken wall, but the monster threw a fireball towards his back. Mickey quickly jumped in the way of the attack, blocking the fireball with his shield.
"All of you, retreat slowly, and take Maria with you." Mickey ordered as he stood infront of the monster with his shield infront of them. He knew he couldn't outrun this monster, but maybe, just maybe if he could stall it long enough, the others could escape.
'Fuck, where's...' His thoughts were cut short when he saw Xavier appear behind the monster with his dagger midswing and the monster, seemed to sense the danger as it turned around quickly. The Diabolic Imp quickly jumped back as Xavier swung his dagger, leaving a deep wound in it's chest. The monster angrily fired two fireballs at him, but he jumped into the air, and threw his dagger. The monster quickly hit the dagger away with it's hands, which resulted in a small wound between it's fingers. Xavier kicked off a broken building towards the monster, quickly appearing right infront of the monster, and it retaliated with a flaming claw strike towards his face, and he winced as he caught it's hand. He sent a knee strike to it's chin, which pushed it's head back, and Xavier could hear it's jaw crack. The monster fell to the ground from the power of the strike.
"Graaaahhh." The monster screamed as Xavier was about to stab it in the face, and it's entire body was engulfed in flames, forcing Xavier back.
