Dark Wolf

Book Two: Chapter 25

Alexia approached the anthropoidal stone container and touched the sculpture's face. With her eyes closed, she whispered a chant.

John stood close to her while monitoring the ancient sarcophagus. "What do you see in there?"

Alexia clenched her eyes. "Something..... Is alive..... inside."

"What is it?"

Before the space witch answered, a red blast of energy pushed her back from the tomb. She hit the floor and moaned as if she was slapped hard.

Lena helped her up. "Are you alright?"

Alexia rubbed her face. "I don't know what the fuck is in there, but it wouldn't let me see it."

"Do you think it is the source?" John asked.

"I don't know. Maybe it is part of the demonic source."

Kara shrugged and marched toward the artifact. "Then let's open it and blow the thing up."

John grabbed her shoulder to make her stop. "Hold on! We can't do that. The thing might-"

The lid flew off the sarcophagus and crashed to the floor. John and squad jumped as they aimed their weapons at the coffin.

A red hand with long black fingernails, sharp like knives, rose from the open sarcophagus, and another rose, touching the edge. Then a woman with red skin and long smooth black hair sat up. Two silver horns stood on her head, and her eyes glowed yellow like the sun.

While leaning her upper body forward, two black hand wings stretched out from her back. She yawned and raised her arms up and cracked her neck.

John felt his heart raced as he aimed his Gatling guns at the female creature. Although he knew she was a demon, he couldn't help but understand she was extremely beautiful. She has a nice sharp chisel face, juicy dark red lips, and ample breasts within her black leather bikini top. How could a man stop staring at her unholy beauty?

When the demon gazed at the squad, Lena pointed her shotgun closer toward the creature. "Identify yourself!"

The demon lady hissed and blasted red energy toward the squad. It pushed them back as they flew across the lab. Then they crashed into the wall.

While they were down, the demon woman raised her long slender legs out and swung them over the coffin's edge. Her black heels touched the floor as she slid out. Her yellow eyes glanced around, studying the strange new environment she was at.

John rose and aimed his Gatling arm guns. "Eat this, bitch!"

He fired, but his blasts bounced off a red energy shield, surrounding the demon. She laughed and held out her left hand.

Two red energy spheres appeared around John's arms. He tried to fire, but he couldn't. The energy froze his mechanic arms.

Since he couldn't use his guns, John charged toward her, screaming. But she swung her fist into his left cheek, knocking him into a glass case. John's body shattered the glass as he flew through it. He landed on the floor, covered by the fallen glass shards.

The chick's punch felt like a freight train. A demon that strong could only mean she was an elder demon.

Ah shit!

"I'll take out the bloody bitch!" Copper charged while firing his rifle.

The demon glared at him and tossed a fireball toward him. He dodged it, but the demon shot a kick toward him in the air. He screamed as he crashed into the coffin.
