Who does the Demon Lord focus on during his final moments?
The feline thief Amaya
In a moment quicker than of the hero party could react to. The mana in the air surrounding them intensified, the intensity of which pinned down each member of the hero's party like weights.
"AAAAAIIIIIEEEEE!!!"The Demon Lord shrieked as his mana heavily condensed around him. His thick sticky tentacle flailing out around him, as each member of the hero's party felt a strong invisible force starting to pull them towards the Demon Lord.
"THIS IS NOT THE END!" The Demon Lord proclaimed, victorious even as his body burned away into ash.
"I WILL RETURN! STRONGER THAN I WAS BEFORE!" The father of monster grinned lewdly, his many eyes focus on the female members of the hero's party.
"Know that this world will be free from your influence!" Roland the hero roared.
"Justice and vengeance have finally caught up to you Fallen one, may you burn in whatever hell you will find yourself in!" Allisa proclaimed, before firing some ice shard at the disintegrating Demon Lord's eyes.
"May the merciful Goddess cleanse this world of your taint" Sirene intoned, flinging a protective barrier to protect herself and Roland from a stray splurt of the Demon Lord's fluid.
"Splat" Amaya spat blood on the ground as she glared hatefully at the Demon Lord's crumbling body.
"Just fucking die already!" Jasabera screamed, slicing apart any of the Demon Lord's sticky tendril that approach the dwarf warrior. The castle in which they stood into started shaking uncontrollabley.
Unbeknownst to the members of the hero's party, the Demon Lord's many eyes all singularly focus on his last victim, the weaken cat rogue Amaya. As a distraction the Demon Lord launched his remaining tentacles towards each member as a faint attack. His real target being the injured cat girl.
Unfortunately for the cat girl, his sticky tentacles smashed into the injured rogue. Even worse for the rogue, the Demon Lord's tentacles were so sticky her clothes and skin were stuck to the tentacle. Amaya slashed and stabbed away at the tendrils but could not remove herself from the Demon Lord's grasp
"YOU ARE MINE!" The Demon Lord screeched, pulling his tentacles quickly back towards him, attempting rapidly bring the struggling and forceful Amaya within his grasp. The aura around the Demon Lord grew so incredibly dense, the light around the mass of tentacles started bend.
"Shit!" Roland cursed, moving to immediately intercept the injured rogue. However, before Roland could take a single step forward.
"CRUSH"
"ARGHH!" He found himself screaming in pain, pinned and crushed underneath a piece of large rubble. The Demon Lord's castle was collapsing in on itself, a final tomb for the scourge of mankind and the heroes, who would soon be trapped inside. As the heavy stone walls around them started to crumble down, this make shift tomb has started to seal itself.
"AMAYA!" Sirene cried out, for a moment paused unsure of what to before deciding she needed to reach the rogue. But just as Sirene was about to run towards her.
"No Sirene!" Allisa cried out, grabbing a tight hold onto the priestress.
"Allisa you heartless bitch! Let me go!" Sirene cried, struggling against the elf's grip.
"It's too late for Amaya! We need to leave!" Allisa bit back, looking away from the sight of Amaya being dragged towards the Demon Lord with a tear in eye. Whilst still holding onto Sirene, the elf mage started chanting her magic to shield the both of them from the oncoming rubble, as Allisa dragged Sirene kicking and screaming to safety. The nun's hand reached out to the cat girl, but woud never reach her.
Jasabera was torned between saving Amaya and saving Roland, paralysed by indecision. Though thankfully the drawf girl was spared the difficult decision.
"Save Roland!" Amaya cried out to Jasabera. Their eyes meeting for the last time, the cat girl looking brave in the face of death. As the Demon Lord's laughed, slowly dragging the rogue closer towards him. The guilt in the dwarf's eyes palpable, but with a reluctant nod, Jasaber moved to save Roland. Throwing off rubble that pinned the hero and carrying him off to safety, using her tough body to shield Roland from anymore incoming rubble. Leaving Amaya and the Demon Lord to their fates.
Quickly fleeing from the Demon Lord's castle, the hero's party regrouped outside the fortress with the rest of their army. Before they could command their forces to charge the castle, with the vain hope of saving Amaya.
"BOOM!!" A massive explosion boomed out, from the castle. The force of which threw everyone in the vicinity to the ground. In the aftermatch, the forces of the Hero's party found only ash and dust in the rubbles of the Demon Lord's Castle. No traces of the Demon Lord, and no traces of Amaya.
