The big hunchbacked creature of muscle practically ran into Ran's rapier. The blade sank through its cheek and to the neck below. Bright red blood flowed from the cut and the demon's gold plated metal armor and natural hardened growths on its skin got painted with it. Her next lunge went wide and the creature managed to bounce it harmlessly off his face with a horn.<br/><br/>Positioned next to the trapdoor Ran could now see these brutes in better detail. They were the exact opposite of the lithe and sophisticated demon girl she had met earlier. The only common traits they shared were the large black goat horns protruding from their skulls, the yellow eyes and pale perfectly white skin. Everything dark and demonic was amplified manifold in this one however. His horns were enormous and tipped with metallic blades which were clearly meant to make using them in battle easier. They made his head seem even smaller in comparison to rest of the unproportionally large ripped upper body.With arms as thick as Ran's waist it was no wonder he had climbed the ladders so fast. On his belt the demon brute had a nasty looking whip and while climbing he still clutched to a black falcion.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">First strike hit and dealt full damage.
