Nodding in satisfaction as he watched a distant demon lose its wings, Udrac rolled his shoulders and sighed as the red glow began to recede within him. Taking a moment of calm to resurvey the city, he was quite impressed with the architecture, even if it was quite ruined. He couldn’t remember ever standing atop a building as high as this before; why he could see the very edges of this city from his vantage point.
Of course it also let him see the rampaging demons tearing their way through the city streets below. So small and truly numerous from where he stood, Udrac felt his blood boil as he clenched his fist and hurled another blast downwards. It detonated in the middle of a street, surprising some of the vermin, and giving the fleeing humans a few precious seconds. Hopefully that would be enough. While he longed to descend down and feel the crack of bone against his fists, providing overwatch from his current position was proving to be much more helpful.
Blinking in surprise as a sudden explosion in the air caught his attention, Udrac tilted his head as the injured condor-demon screeched like… well a demon. Grunting as he hurled another blast at the distracted monster, he nodded in satisfaction as the resulting detonation sheared an injured wing clear of the beast’s body and sent it tumbling down towards the ground.
Only then did he become aware of the small silhouette that fell towards a building from the felled demon. “Oh no,” he murmured gravely before he backed up enough to get a running leap and jumped across the gap between the buildings. Cracking the concrete as he skidded to a halt, Udrac hurried over to the edge and grabbed the man’s arm. Heaving him onto the rooftop with casual ease, he smoothed out the man’s suit quickly before looking him up and down before nodding. “Good, you are unhurt, yes?”
