    ... fury and pain but failing to do any real damage. Rathodor charged towards a nearby house where several men were shooting from. It raised one of its massive arms and carved the place open like he was splitting firewood. Everyone kept shooting, managing to rip chunks of flesh off, but it just wasn't enough.
    
    "It's not working!" Volker cursed as he ejected two empty shell casings from his shotgun.
    
    "We have no choice, everyone, chop him up!" Sam shouted. All the men with their melee weapons charged, Sam himself wielding an axe. They surrounded Rathodor, now howling furiously and swinging its massive arms. It managed to strike one man, ripping him in half at the waist, then stabbed another through the chest. "It doesn't matter if someone dies! Ignore everything and focus on the attack!"
    
    With that brief opening, the others all got close and began hacking away with their weapons. Wielding hammers, axes, sickles, scythes, and pitchforks, they attacked with everything they had. Their weapons did more damage than the bullets, though Rathodor wasn't going down. Instead, it lashed out, forcing the men back to avoid its swinging arms. Anyone who got too close was ripped to shreds, and their eviscerated corpses were scattered across the ground.
    
    Spotting an opportunity, Sam ducked down under Rathodor’s swinging arms and swung his axe, striking the monster's left knee. It howled and dropped down, no longer able to move its body. All the men attacked again, knowing they couldn't ...

    Snarling in fury, Rathodor reached out and grabbed one man, the youngest of all the fighters. He cried in terror and tried to wriggle free, but the demon's hold was firm. The other men attacked with relentless desperation, but ultimately, all they could do was watch as Rathodor’s head split open and enveloped the young man's, vacuuming the brain out of his skull and taking his soul in the process. Once it had its fill, Rathodor hurled the corpse like a cow caught in a tornado, striking another fighter and shattering his skeleton.
    
    Rathodor then released a threatening howl and slashed the ground with its arm, sending a wave of earth at the men and forcing them to shield themselves. The demon then took off, its knee having healed enough to carry its body. It was heading straight for the tavern, where most villagers had gathered. Sam, Volker, and the other men chased after Rathodor, trying to cut the monster down, but it fended off their attacks with its mighty arms.
    
    One man tried to strike from behind, but the jagged spikes growing out of the monster’s back lashed out and impaled him, filling his body with holes. Finally, one man with a scythe scored a lucky hit, slashing the monster across the stomach with a wound that reached down deep. Toxic fluid and rotting flesh poured from the ...
