The girl's actions were masterful, as if this sort of solo expeditions were part of her mundane activities. Adell sneaked a grin to himself as he watched the skeletons sliced up by the pendulum blades. He had mapped out most of the place in his head, but this tomb raider reacted quickly to their appearances and used it to her advantage.
He almost lost a part of his back appendages when he first saw them. It was something he'd rather not go through again.
He crawled along the ventilation shafts, keeping her in his sight. When the walls and floor around him shook, he knew what trap she triggered. But a few explosions told him she was still alive.
At least, she would be until she met that demon. He didn't know his name, but it was someone that went mad from demonic corruption. Most would kill demons outright, but someone either had the decency or lacked the guts to put down this demon, and just sealed him up. Adell didn't do anything but the seal when he first saw the demon, but the girl must have accidentally unsealed it.
"S̀h͏e͡'̷s҉ g̸oìng ̡t̵o d̷ie."
He scurried to the corner of the shaft where he could see the fight between the two. The fight had just started, with neither of them worse for the wear. If she died, he would have something else to eat for a couple of days. Of course, he had to snatch it from that crazy demon.
He thought about it for a few moments, and shook his head. Helping that girl could pay off. Maybe if she was charitable, hiding here wasn't needed anymore. And if she was treasure-hunting, Adell knew of a few treasure spots where even the most experienced tomb raiders would not unravel.
"Two year of staying here will do that to I," he muttered to himself, somewhat amusedly. How long would it take for him to become sort of cavern-dwelling monster, he wondered. When one was a demon, Adell took some amusement in wondering how things could get worse for him. It was a way to cope.
He grasped a stray piece of rubble with his hand, trying to ascertain the arc he could throw it in. The movements of the two combatants threw his plans into a loop. The idea of hitting and stunning the girl made him hesitate, and hitting the demon seemed just as equally likely.
Adell tried a different plan.
"Sh̶è's͝ m͏ine!̸" The rough, harsh language of Demonic rolled off his tongue perfectly, drawing the attention of both the mad demon and the girl. Even as these demons lacked their sanity, they responded to Demonic long enough for an opening.
The rock bounced off the demon's head, cracking its skull.
"Now!" yelled Adell. He sat at the edge of the shaft, giving the girl a gaze of affirmation, as much as demonic eyes could. He just hoped that she wouldn't shoot him with the crossbow.
