All the monsters surrounding the portal witnessed a brief flash of light before they opened fire towards the angel that stepped her foot in their world. After countless explosions, and the dust settling, there was no corpse, no blood or guts. She was now standing in the middle of the crowd, and the ring flying behind her started spinning. The eyes on it opened and unleashed beams of light which cut the demons in half as they were touched. When the ring stopped, it returned to its passive state as a halo floating above her head. She was quick to draw her assault rifle and start shooting at the surviving demons, who were now scattered. They all opened fire at the saint, and as bits and pieces broke off her armor and as a bullet passed through her skin, spilling her now golden blood, a demon shouted, "SHE DID NOT TURN INVINCIBLE, KEEP FIRING!"
More and more bullets passed through her, causing severe injuries all over, while she kept moving and shooting. Even when her legs stopped working, she used her wings to keep herself up and when the bullets ran out, she started throwing fire until even her wings were too damaged and she crashed into a dead tree. Multiple demon soldiers surrounded her and opened fire. The amount of bullets flying through the saint dug a clear hole in her chest. The shooting ceased for a moment, before the demons saw her hand move and they immediately blasted it to bits with more excessive fire and to make sure they get her for good, their leader gave the order, "Shoot her damn head off!" Then the guns were raised, and two bullets dug into her skull right before a blinding lights surrounded the area. When it disappeared, the saint stood on her feet with not a scratch on her body, her armor fully restored and the demons vaporized by the light manifested by the golden ring that was spinning around her.
When the battle had ended with the saint standing in a forest covered in ashes of demons, she received a call from Jack. The fire spawn called to say, "Hey, I've been told you just got back. Now, I assume your next plan is to kill the king with your new toy, so that's cool, you go girl!" The saint didn't care much for what the wretched creature was saying, what got her interest was that she saw a strange anomaly in the form of distorted, transparent waves in unnatural colors coming from the sky directly to her phone. While the saint was flying in the direction they were coming from, Jack continued talking, "I know you lost the last time you fought him, but now after going though this journey, you should try again, with more power this time, you're bound to succeed!" The saint flew high in the sky, and found that the waves originated from a strange flying metal device with multiple circular shapes attached to it, and they were being received by the object from somewhere back on land.
Jack seemed unaware of what the saint was doing while he continued talking, "Now while you do that, I'll just be hiding out not doing anything bad to anyone and remaining as a completely inconsequential, side Cha..." The saint was now able to tell exactly where the anomalous waves were coming from and went full speed towards it. It was strange, but also irrelevant that Jack was surprised by her crash into the ground right in front of it. In his shock, Jack yelled, "OH SH..." before having its torso cut in half.
Immediately, Jack's top half was grabbed by an undead guardian and was thrown far away out of immediate reach. Jack was screaming in pain all the way. It was caught mid air by a different guardian. The saint was about to chase after the fire spawn, but she was shot through both of her feet with metal arrows fired by someone flying in the air above her. Before she could pull them out, she was attacked by the guardian in front of her, whose strike was blocked by the golden ring getting in the way. It destroyed the guardian's hand on touch and the saint was quick to shoot it in the head with her SMG. She looked up to see some more arrow coming her way being stopped by her halo, after which she grabbed her sniper rifle, shot the flying guardian through the head, and watched it fall from the sky.
After pulling the arrows out of her feet and closing the wounds caused by them, she flew after Jack, in hopes that the trail hadn't gone cold. The chase wasn't long, and what she found not that far away was the aftermath of a battle, with the guardian that was carrying Jack having half of it's head torn off. The area was filled with corpses of demons, and the guardians that served Jack. The amount of guardians the fire spawn had under its control was a clear indication of something even more disturbing than the already horrible sight of seeing her former comrades be turned into her mortal enemies, but the only explanation seemed impossible for someone so weak to achieve.
