The Corrupted Zork didn't allow them to regroup. It moved with such speed that its massive clawed hand swept through a cluster of demon warriors as if they were mere paper.
Those demons were sent flying through the air, their blood splattering across the sand.
Zara threw herself at the creature that had once been her husband. With all her strength, she slashed its chest with her twin blades, which were wrapped in demonic fire. The blades really did cut through the corrupted flesh, drawing out black ichor.
Rick's heart raced with hope for a moment.
Then the corrupted Zork picked Zara up off the ground with one huge hand and held her by the throat.
"ZARA!" Rick started to run, but he was too far away.
Zara saw the creature's empty purple eyes staring at her. The mouth opened, and a voice that was both Zork's and something much worse came out.
"How fucking sweet..."
"The wife tries to help her husband."
