Filling the air with righteous fury, Grace and Radiance sing in tandem. Before the wretched demon can even recover its surprise at Elrembriel's interruption, the holy blade bites, and bites deep. No doubt the first blow was a death stroke, as the paladin ducked under a claw to plunge the glowing sword into the hilt. She spins as she pulls it out, however, and neatly severs its spine- nearly bisecting the demon entirely as the blade draws ichor and alien organs into the ruddy air.

As fast as it started, the danger appears gone. Once more, suddenly, silence reigns in the open courtyard.
