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...
Meanwhile, as Hatasuko stumbled through the ashen streets with his hands on his knees, he glanced over his shoulder and saw that he left a trail of blood behind him. He could not run because of the state of his shins, but he stumbled toward the demon as quickly as he could. As he walked, an array of black fire appeared beneath his feet, engulfing him with the energy that fueled his power. Nevertheless, he smiled every time he glanced up and saw the shadow demon hiding behind its shield. Though he did not know how she did it, he knew that Vaida had created this spectacular weapon of searing flames. The inferno that engulfed the Interfectus also illuminated the city; the glare shrouded every star in the sky.
"If I can get there in time, if it stays locked in place long enough, then maybe I can kill it. Perhaps tonight is the night that the first Interfectus falls forever. I can feel it in my bones. There's a chorus of lost souls cheering us on; all of humanity is standing in our corner," Hatasuko whispered.

But in the blink of an eye, the roaring tempest transformed from cheering to screaming. Hatasuko braced himself and glared ahead as the Interfectus finally jumped into the sky; a shockwave rolled across the city just from the motion of this jump. Vaida's flamethrower tried to follow its flying feet, but the Interfectus went too high and too fast. In its throne in the sky, flying far above the smoke-stained streets of Bones City, the Interfectus unleashed its third weapon and summoned a scattershot of shadow spheres. Its scorching armor glowed red, but this did not slow it down at all. It launched the scattershot as swiftly and suddenly as it could; every shadow sphere shot toward the roof of the factory building.
With an urgent rush of adrenaline, Hatasuko grabbed two rocks from his bag and activated his power; he launched them both in the sky at a supersonic speed. But despite his incredible strength, he had simply thrown from too far away. The rocks flew well over the shadow spheres because he had misjudged the distance. A moment later, every shadow sphere crashed upon the roof of the factory building and detonated on impact. There were seventeen simultaneous explosions of blue fire. The four-story factory collapsed on itself with an earthshaking burst of flames.
Although he ran faster than ever before on wounded legs which could hardly support his weight, Hatasuko felt like he had been suddenly paralyzed. The adrenaline turned to ice in his veins. As he dashed toward the flaming factory at full speed, the voices in the tempest seemed to warp into a horrifying chorus of taunting sneers. He knew he had imagined it; he knew that the lost souls were not against him, but it mirrored his crushing sense of dread.
