Sein clicked her tongue in disgust. "Fucking demons…"
Lisa kept her hands raised for a few more seconds just to be sure, then slowly lowered them. "The barrier held, but this whole room is beyond saving. We should get out before any residual poison affects us."
Andrey nodded. "Agreed. Let's move."
The three of them quickly exited Miguel's house, pulling the front door shut behind them. Once they were standing safely beside the black van in the morning sunlight, the heavy, sickly-sweet stench finally faded from their noses. Andrey leaned against the hood, arms crossed, while Sein rested her back against the side door, one hand unconsciously rubbing her still-sore ass through her crimson dress.
Sein let out a long sigh. "This is bad. Not only did they kill a Rank A hero, they turned his corpse into a goddamn poison bomb and already took the artifact. They're clearly several steps ahead of us."
