Drakengard: Demonic Flower [Demons Souls X Drakengard 3 Crossover]

Chapter 11 - Vicious Viper

"These guys keep showing up!" Zero screamed, slashing an invader's chest, kicking him away; and swinging her sword into an inverted position before stabbing an invader approaching from behind.

"You made your discomfort clear the last five times you repeated that sentence." Edric responded, parrying an invader's blow, breaking his balance, and piercing his heart.

"Sorry, but I'm tired, I've used too much magic for today!" Eupherbia screamed, the magic surrounding her body glowing dimmer with each invader defeated before she hid inside Edric's bag,

Then, the two partners grudgingly advanced across the Land of Seas towards the shrine, cutting down any invaders.

"I don't know if you noticed, but I'm in a hurry!" Zero deflected another invader's blow and slashed his throat, but he didn't care and still fought.

"Hurry is the enemy of perfection; you must act slowly and calmly." Edric slashed an invader's waist and chest shortly after that.

"Sorry, but that's not my style, I like it hard, rough, and fast!" Zero leaped over an invader's spear strike, landing behind him and slashing his back.

"You know damn well that's not what I meant!" Edric kicked an invader's chest, knocking him down and piercing his heart.

"Hump! That's what everyone says! Knights talk about honor and duty, but a pretty face offering a little fun is all you need to drop it all. I wonder what you look like under the armor."

"You will have to remove my armor by force if you want to know what I look like."

"I have no problem with that."

Growling, Edric cast Soul Ray, blasting a hole through an invader's with a bow farther ahead.

They reached an overrun coastal village, with gargoyles invading the houses, taking the inhabitants by their members, and taking off shortly afterward, disappearing midst of the swarm.

Edric ran faster towards the village upon seeing this.

"Hey, tinhead, what are you doing?" Zero asked.

"What do you think? Helping these people!" Edric switched to his bow and fired arrows at the oncoming monsters.

"I'll move on if you waste our time! I have a sister to kill!"

"Then do it, but I doubt the gargoyles will allow it." Edric's arrow pierced a gargoyle's head as it swooped down, shattering it upon falling.

More gargoyles landed and surrounded Zero. One tried to pierce her with its rapier, but the intoner stepped aside, dodging the blow, then severing the gargoyle's arm, and head with the following cut.

"These things are annoying, where did they come from?"

"They are gargoyles from the Tower of Latria, created by the Old Monk in his soul experiments." Edric fell another gargoyle from the sky.

"Do you hear yourself talking? You sound like a crazy priest!" Zero kicked a cart toward a group of gargoyles and leaped in, tearing them apart with a flurry of blows.

"If I were a priest I would throw holy water on you."

"Are you calling me a demon?"

"You're hardheaded as one! Dragon come!" Edric called the black dragon.

A large shadow passed over the village, raining fireballs, destroying part of the swarm, followed by the attacks of a smaller white dragon.

"Hey Zero! I am helping!" Mikhail screamed.
