From the ramparts of the city the Hellhounds stood with the Red Cohort watching the fight. The Hunter along with the people were on the opposite side of the wall spectating as they watched the battle unfold. Warlock was staring with intrigue and fascination watching the Slayer fight. 'He can use multiple elements? How is that possible?' he crossed his arms and watched as the battle intensified. He looked at one of his Seers. "Be ready to take this city" he said with a low tone to where only the two could hear. "Sir?" the Seer said back confused, "Didn't we already take the city?" Warlock shook his head. "Not while that bastard lives! Get the men ready to kill those three and Ill wait for the opportunity to slay the king myself" he turned to leave and walked off the wall. Leaving the Seer who was dumbfounded, but hiding his face in his hood. However this exchange didn't go unnoticed by Smiling who was watching from the corner of his eye.
"I think something is going to happen on our end?" he warned Sun Demon who was transfixed by the battle. "Huh?" she asked, never looking away. Ghost had his attention as he fully looked at the big man. "What do you mean?" he asked his attention on high alert. Now Sun looked at Smiling, "What's happening?" she asked. "I think those Hellhounds are planning something. That Warlock is a sly one from the get go he has to be planning something over on our end" Ghost looked past Smiling and down at the ground where Warlock was walking towards a group of Seers. He seemed to be giving them orders for the immediately dispersed and posted at different spots. Two at the gate, four by the armory entrance, and three more spread out around the civilians all hunkering down in buildings close to the wall.
Smiling watched the Warlock like a hawk when a massive explosion erupted in the desert plan sending a large plume of dust into the air. Warlock then shouted, "TAKE THEM" he screamed as the Seers then started attacking people on the wall killing them with their psychic abilities. One man's head twisted unnaturally breaking his neck and a woman was thrown off the wall by an invisible force. Smiling jumped and caught the woman landing down on the ground. Sun Demon stabbed a Seer and was then gripped by the neck by an invisible force. She was lifted off her feet hovering above the wall. Ghost came at the Seer doing it and plunged a transparent fist into his fist killing him instantly. He upholstered a pistol with his good arm and shot two more Seers. Sun got pissed and gasped for air. She rubbed her neck and glared at a Seer coming at her. She plunged her wakizashi into his neck and then picked up his body. She threw it at two more Seers falling from the wall outside. They hit the sand hard and didn't move once they landed. Ghost shot more Seers and could see Smiling engaging some on his own. He was trying to make his way to Warlock who was now running alongside the wall. He started the battle as it intensified seeing Red Demon take on a demonic form and the king now clad in armor. 'This is it!' he looked back to see Smiling jumping onto the wall and was now pursuing him with a scythe in hand. He created a rune in the air and it expanded. Then exploded into thousands of runes that were glowing bright orange. They floated onto the air and one hit a piece of the wall exploding into a fiery explosion. Creating a chain reaction of explosions coming at Smiling. He coated his body in metal and pressed on coming closer to the Warlock when an explosion hit him in the chest sending him flying off the ramparts. He was falling to the ground and saw the Warlock creating another rune that was glowing blue. He grabbed the rune and disappeared from sight. As he did an explosion erupted sending a shockwave across the desert landscape hitting the wall. People flew off the wall and buildings shook. People in a panic came out of hiding places to run deeper into the city. They were thrown off balance by the earthquake and force of the blast. Smiling landed on his back but got up in time to see his fellow companions engaged in fighting Seers and saving civilians from their grasps. He engaged two more and the three gestured for the people to get back inside when a bigger explosion shook the ground and hit the wall. The explosion brought down one side of the wall that collapsed on civilians running about in a panic. Smiling watched as people were crushed by debris and large stones. He and the two other demons were thrown back by the impact and a section of the wall was coming down on them. Ghost demon reached out grasping Smiling and Sun's shoulder. The wall coming down on them passed all three like they were even there. Ghost had managed to extend his ability to phase through solid objects to the two. Leaving all three unscathed from the debris that would have crushed them.
Others were not so lucky they shrugged off the shock and began helping those who were trapped under rock. Some Seers stood dazed, "Hey! Put aside our differences, we're needed to help these people!" it was the same Seer from the wall who had blood coming from his forehead. He gave Smiling a nod and he gestured to his men to help recover the injured.

After the dust settled the attack from Red Demon was thwarted by an energy field around the king. Standing inside it was the Warlock grinning big, but had sweat pouring off his brow. 'He used a lot of chi to block it, it seems' he sighed in annoyance looking down from the sky. The Warlock glared at the demonic form of Red Demon. "Quite the show for you two. But I think I'll take it from here" he looked back at the injured King who was staring daggers at him in his full armor. He gripped the giant sword and red mist came from his helmet. "You always were a turd Marcus" he spoke with a present disdain at the commander. "Yes, well you're ripe for the picking. Opportunity was too good to pass up. I'll kill you and obtain the crown through conquest!" The War King laughed. "Then you're a bigger fool then I gave you credit for" he slumped forward holding the sword with both hands. Warlock manifested a staff with ram horns upon the head of a wolf. The maw was open wide and began to glow with the eyes. A flaming blade formed from the mouth contorting into an ax head. Turning the staff into a halberd as he spun it around his cloak started to glow causing him to pick up speed. The king did not move till the halberd blade was inches from him. He slashed it away and with one swipe of the sword blocking the flaming ax. Warlock with a swipe of his hand created a rune that started to grow and then exploded creating clones of Warlock. They all came at the king at once causing the king to keep moving, blocking each slash coming at him. He cut through one illusion clone that turned to dust. Slashed through several more with one slash. the big broad sword's blade started to glow. The king drove the sword into the ground, erupting the ground in a massive explosion. The barrier dissolved away revealing the growing shockwave moving through the ground. It split open and cracks formed across the desert. Places began to sink in as it travelled towards the city walls collapsing one side.
The Red Demon looked to the city and flew towards it. He flew towards the wrecked wall and touched down. He looked around the rubble he found his companions helping others who were alive. Seers lay about dead , some missing their heads, or cut up. But not all of them were dead, some were helping.
The scene was confusing but Red Demon flew towards his friends. Smiling threw a large piece of the wall to the side and helped a man up. He looked up at Red Demon and was just as confused. "Everyone alright?" He asked Smiling. "Yeah. Sun and Ghost are treating the wounded. Seers and I have an understanding now after they tried killing us. Warlock dead?" Smiling knew he wasn't otherwise Red Demon would look normal. But dumb question or not he could see that this was pure chaos which frazzled him. The strong chi from the desert showed the opponent they were up against. This king would make short work of the commander and come here. "We need to get everyone into the city and safety. Red Demon looked around and saw the Hunter who was hurt still, but now covered in dust. He stood with the Wolf who was helping people move debris. Red Demon touched down and was standing in front of the Hunter. "Well you look different?" he said with a cocked eyebrow. "I need a favor and it'll be the last one" Hunter smiled pushing his hat up revealing his eyes. "Oh yeah? What favor?" he asked with intrigue.
