The two half-demon demon hunters silently walked up to the door. Chanting could be heard from the other side, causing Dante to raise white eyebrows at his partner. Cat shrugged, not recognizing the language, then wrinkled her nose. “Snake,” she muttered as quietly as she could, stifling the urge the sneeze the scent away. Dante grinned in response, and she pulled out her gun as he kicked the door open.
Inside the large room, thirty or so creatures turned from the altar they had been chanting towards to face the intruders. Snake-like faces protruded from hooded cloaks, and a hissing sound rose from the ranks, along with mutters of “Light-lovers” and “dirty sexual beings” and other more unintelligible insults.
Dante rested Rebellion on his shoulder as he scanned the room. “Who let these mother fucking snakes on this - “
The demons howled and attacked.
“What?” he asked in a mock-hurt tone as he cut through the first wave of attackers. “I thought everyone liked that movie?”
Pressed for time, Cat could only sigh before taking aim at the demons nearest the altar.
When the last demon gurgled it's last curse before turning into a pile of ooze, the two looked out the window expectantly. After a moment, Dante frowned. “Shouldn't there be some sunlight by now?”
“If just killing the demons broke the spell, then yeah.” Cat carefully stepped around the discarded cloaks. “I don't suppose we left one of them alive to check?”
He looked around. “No, I don't think we did.” He shrugged and followed her towards the altar, kicking a couple of now-empty cloaks out of the way. “Why do things always get so damned complicated?”
