Bang!
The captain retaliated with a knee to Damien's abdomen.
Damien vomited blood on impact but the demon didn't stop.
It hammered him with another punch.
Then another.
Then another.
Each blow heavier than the last.
Damien tried to counter however, he ended up being too slow every time.
A backhand caught him across the temple and sent him spinning.
He hit the ground hard.
The world flickered.
He tried to rise but body didn't respond properly. He'd suffered too much internal damage.
The captain approached slowly.
Measured steps.
Its damaged leg dragged slightly, but its upper body remained terrifyingly steady.
"You destabilize our mission."
It stood over him.
"You slaughtered my command."
It raised its hand.
"You will not rise again."
Damien forced his head up.
Vision blurred as blood dripped into his eye.
His body screamed at him to stop.
To lie still.
To end it.
The captain's fist descended but he rolled at the last possible second.
