This is a multimedia webnovel with giant city-crushing monsters, a valiant man who dares to fight them, a hero who loses himself on a righteous path, and a darkness which conceives a profound love. But I suck at descriptions, so I strongly encourage...
"I don't think we should stay here. The Interfectus planned to fight us here for a reason. I don't want anything to happen to you; I'm scared I might not be able to protect you. Let's run. Let's leave the city, and then the Interfecti can't fulfill whatever sick plans they have for us," Hatasuko said to his shaken friend.
Vaida sheathed her swords in the holster on her back, grabbed her whip with her right hand, and grabbed her shield with her left. She glared at the Interfectus with her good eye as her dead eye stared at the burning wreckage around them. There was a fierceness in her eyes. She lifted her left foot, kicked off the half-crumbled wall behind her, and raced toward the Interfectus with a sudden jolt. As she ran through the smoke and between the flashing flames, she said, "I won't run away from this."
Inspired by her intrepid decision, Hatasuko did the same. He broke what was left of the smoldering wall when he tried to kick off of it, but he quickly regained his balance and ran after his friend. However, he could not follow her directly; he had to make a detour to grab his black shield from the street.
Though the Interfectus had not yet destroyed the long road ahead of Vaida, it was scattered with debris as people ran away from the monster. Vaida dashed in the opposite direction from the evacuees, running toward the monster. With every step, she remembered that it had already taken everything from her once, many years ago in this same place.
The Interfectus suddenly attacked by extending its massive claw, but the fleeing citizens diverged and dodged this attack. The shadow claw then lunged at Vaida with terrifying speed, but she jumped out of the way. As she flew through the smoky air, the Interfectus tried to dismember her from behind with its giant dagger-like fingers. But in midair, she flung her whip forward with a deafening crack. The edge of her whip enwrapped a spoke on a wagon wheel, so Vaida pulled in swiftly and flung herself away from the high-speed shadow claw. As soon as her running feet hit the ground, she yanked her whip free and raced toward the Interfectus.

The Interfectus swiftly attacked again with a tremendous slash from its extended right arm. This shadow blade flew down from the sky like a diagonal guillotine; it was a second away from slaughtering Vaida and an evacuee. Since the frightened man ran toward her without knowing of the danger, Vaida suddenly jumped up, slammed her feet against him, and then kicked with all her strength. The impact sent him flying off to the right, and the recoil threw Vaida to the left. As the guillotine blade struck the street between them, shaking the whole block, Vaida landed on the dirt street and resumed running toward the monster.
Since the shadow blade was so long, Hatasuko lunged at its far end with a mighty swing of his sword. As it flew through the air, Hatasuko activated his power, but the Interfectus was faster; it retracted its arm just milliseconds before Hatasuko would have destroyed it. His sword tore clear through the street without slowing down at all, though the impact twisted his giant body. After a complete swing of the sword, he realized that he still controlled his brief flash of superstrength, so he followed through with his swing and threw his sword at the monster. The sword broke the speed of sound with an earsplitting crack, and when it struck the monster in the chest, its armor exploded with a burst of sparks and steel. Shards of broken armor rained down from the demon; the sword had blown apart and sent a storm of shrapnel into its body.
