Mercenary in the Wild

Day 14. Arthropod Cyclops Monster

'Rip and tear... until it is done...!'

That was the command which The DOOM Slayer had been given so long ago and it forever remained etched in his very being. He would illustrate to them exactly why attempting to control the demon worse than demons was the most foolish endeavour they had ever embarked on.

Rodion was the first one to feel that firsthand. The Synthetic Sellsword slashed towards Dynamo as the demonic mutant charged for him, but he thwarted with his blades and gauntlets, pushing him back before slashing his neck. White blood with a red demonic glow gushed out as he fell, shutting down. Alexi kept firing off mini missiles from his Barren Falcons, but not all connected and those that did weren't able to hinder The Second Hellwalker. Dark Lynx proceeded to summon various Bokoblins and Lizalfos, though they were mere cannon fodder for the uncaged beast to rip apart with brutal efficiency. Dark Star appeared to have the best chance of facing The Final Knight as his God-Steel armour covered his whole body and the Adamantine lined blades bounced off it.

Though that only made Dynamo adjust his strategy, ducking, rolling lunging for The Synthetic Gunslinger. He shredded through his flank and almost completely tore off his left arm, causing Makarov's Right Hand to cough out white blood while it spewed from his mortal wound, causing him to fall back and shut down instantly after.

The Mercenary's rampage went on his burning eyes set on Dark Lynx. He charged at him next though immediately Dark Star blitzed into him. His blades retracted and he utilized the inertia and momentum against The Malice-born New God, because, beneath all the armour, he was still organic. The impact between the two sent a shockwave all around them, one that made The Hero's Darkened Shadow tumble back over for several hundred meters.

Blood was escaping Dynamo's lips as he was staring into the red eyes of Dark Star, both of them having their fists against the other's abdomen. The Second Hellwalker could feel the pain of healing, so he pummeled at the plating again, then again, then again, faster, faster, faster. While the God-Steel didn't bend beneath the devastating force of the blows, the organs beneath were rattled as they hit the very same plating that was meant to protect it. Dark Star retaliated, hitting back with just as much force and his plasma vision, burning through the demonic mutant's flesh. However, The Bearer of The DOOM Slayer proved to be more resilient, wearing his enemy down and leaving his insides as nothing more than a red paste.

Bloodied and his power fuelled by it, The Mercenary huffed heavily through his gritted teeth. A shrill shriek cut through the air as a massive arachnid monster smashed into the ground right behind him. Its one veined red eye opened and stared right at Dynamo as it smashed its claws in a beckoning and intimidating way, shaking the ground.

It was the Arthropod Cyclops Monster... Gohma...

The Bearer of The DOOM Slayer turned and extended his blades, prepared to fight the giant monster without a moment of hesitation, without a shred of fear.

"Kar... en... tuk...!" (Rip and tear) His voice was so low that it would have made any demon flee to the darkest pits of Hell to escape him... and his bloodlust, his thirst for retribution would not be quenched.
