Chapter 569

• He picked up the axe. It took two hands, and just getting it up onto his shoulder was difficult. Cainites had to be supernaturally stronger than humans, considering the man he'd just mercy killed didn't look to be all that much bigger than David. But the aura ripped the puzzle from his thoughts and tossed it aside. That didn't matter. Just use it, and kill.
• The Cainites didn't know who they were messing with. The imps and grems, sure, they had to work together to deal with just one soul at a time, especially since the Cainites were apparently superhuman. But Jes and Caera weren't just run-of-the-mill demons. They had a lot of experience under their belt, a lot of battles, a lot of kills, and the two of them diced through the human souls in a brutal dance of dismemberment.
• The tunnel filled with the sounds of falling weapons clinking on the rocks, and gargled yells and screams full of blood. Demons went for the throat.
