He stepped toward her causing her to back away in fear.

"H-hey, hold on, you can't be serious. You're just some level-less freak, you can't eat me!"

"I'm going to bite your legs off and splinter your bones Eliza, I'm going to make you watch me eat you alive bit by bit, your fingers, your toes, your limbs, you will beg me to kill you."

Eliza's eyes went wide. "No! No! You can't! R-rain! I'll do anything, what do you want? Money? P-power leveling?"

"Power leveling? Is that a joke?" He snorted. "No. Karma caught up Eliza. This is the end."

Her knees shook as she backed up against the cavern wall, unable to take her eyes off Rain's own yellow eyes she scrabbled blindly behind herself, desperate for an escape.

"Rain! Look out!" cried a Goblin voice and Rain dropped to the ground as the Orc's anvil hammer flew through the air having been hurled, sailing just past where his torso had been. It struck the wall next to Eliza and fractured it from top to bottom with an ear splitting boom. Huge sheets of rock sloughed off and toppled to the ground. Eliza screamed and threw her arms over her head as she was peppered with high velocity splinters of stone.

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck this!" She grabbed at her side and ripped off a water skin attached to her belt. She frantically pulled the cap free and upended it on the ground squeezing it out as fast as possible. Rain looked up in surprise from where he lay prone. She slammed her hands together in a strange hand seal and began breathlessly and rapidly chanting. The puddle of fluid she stood in began to faintly glow and then to Rain's utter outrage she began to sink into it, her legs quickly disappearing. He scrambled to his feet and lunged at her, arm extended, paw reaching, he grabbed a fist full of her hair and heaved back causing her to scream. Rain underestimated his own strength however and that the pool had an unstoppable grip on her and a good third of her long blonde hair was ripped from her scalp leaving an angry red welt behind. She screamed again and slapped her hands down over her bleeding head. A tearful face shot him a look of pure withering hatred.

As she dipped below the puddle's surface Rain could only watch as her lips formed words with no sound, carefully directed at him. 'I liked what I did'. She vanished below and the water stopped glowing and became normal unmagical water once more.

Rain stood there with a chunk of bloody blonde hair held limply in his paw. His whole body trembled with rage. 'I liked what I did'. She had enjoyed gutting him. Her pretences were always just that, a facade, she'd never had an ounce of kindness in her. She was as twisted as Myra or Brax or any of the others. Demons without the outward appearance of Demons.

He snarled and flung her hair to the ground. He spun around looking for something to take his growing fury out on, just in time as a heavy Orc fist was flying toward his head. He shifted aside as it whistled past, actually brushing by his fur. He dove out of the way of the charging Orc and scrambled to keep his feet under him.

Ola stumbled to a stop having missed and almost lost her balance.

She turned with a massive grin on her face and her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"It's you! You bloody black furred fucker! You've come to fight me!"

Rain ignored her words and lunged at her, arms outstretched, eyes wild with rage.

"Woah there!" said the Orc as claws reached for her muscular neck. A massive green fist came up and grabbed one of his arms by the forearm but not before his other claws managed to lacerate her skin sending a sheet of blood washing down the side of her neck.

"Savage fucker aren't you. Strong too. I'm gonna enjoy beating you to a pulp."

She swung her arm out, holding Rain up in the air and away from herself as he struggled. She then shook him back and forth so violently that it caused Rain to be momentarily stunned.

"Aww does the little monsty not like it when he gets pushed around?"

Rain's yellow eyes stared her down. "I'm going to make you regret that."

The Orc blinked in surprise. "Oh, you can tal-AAARGHHG!!!"

She screamed as Rain lunged up and bit one of her fingers holding him clean off. The Orc instinctually threw him aside, sending him tumbling and rolling across the ground.

"You piece of shit! Look what you've done to me!" cried the Orc holding up a bleeding stump where her index finger once was.

Rain crawled to his feet and rolled his jaw. He then opened his mouth and quite deliberately showed the Orc her dismembered finger resting there.

"H-hey, give that back, there's healers that can reattach shit like this. Good monster, just hand it here."

Rain swiftly diced the finger with his teeth and swallowed the chunks. Blood dripped from his mouth as he gave her his most predatory grin.

"FUUUUCKK YOOU!" roared the Orc and she lunged for her anvil hammer where it lay, grabbed it up, swung it over her head, and hurtled toward Rain.

Rain was caught unprepared by her explosive speed and cut a close dodge, the hammer came down, but it was a bluff and she caught it halfway through the arc. She set her hips and legs and twisted her body torquing into a side swing, it just glanced off Rain's side, he could practically hear his ribs creak as they deformed under the brushed weight of the anvil. He was sent rolling, his limbs flailing as he went down.

"I've got you now you finger eating fuck head!" crowed the Orc as she strode forward and swung the anvil hammer down on him from above like an unstoppable meteor.
