The air was thick with the stench of death as Du crouched in the shadows, their heart pounding in their chest. The once-safe zone had been overrun, and now the guttural growls of demons echoed through the corridors. Every creak and footstep brought the creatures closer, their hunger for human flesh palpable. Du held their breath, praying they wouldn’t be discovered, but the demons were relentless, their footsteps drawing nearer, the dim light revealing twisted, grotesque shapes. Just as all hope seemed lost, a sudden, deafening blast ripped through the air, followed by the sickening crunch of bones.
Emerging from the chaos was the Doom Slayer, a towering figure clad in battle-worn, dark-green armor, her presence commanding and terrifying. Without hesitation, she launched into a brutal onslaught, her double-barrel Super Shotgun tearing through the demonic horde with unrelenting fury. The air was filled with the sound of gunfire, the roar of demons being silenced, and the eerie hum of her chainsaw shield as it shredded through their ranks. Each movement was precise, every kill calculated, and within moments, the demons lay in lifeless heaps, their blood pooling at the Slayer’s feet.
Du watched in stunned silence, awe and terror mingling as the Slayer finished her work. She stood amidst the carnage, the glowing bluish-green visor of her helmet reflecting the dim, flickering lights. There was a stillness in the aftermath, the only sound being the faint crackle of electricity from her weapons. Slowly, the Doom Slayer turned her head, her gaze locking onto Du. The intensity of her eyes, even through the visor, was enough to make Du’s breath catch. For a brief moment, they feared she might view them as another target, but the Slayer simply stared, her expression unreadable behind her helmet.
Without a word, she raised her hand and motioned for Du to follow her. The gesture was firm, leaving no room for hesitation. The Slayer didn’t wait for a response; she simply turned and began to move, her powerful strides carrying her deeper into the ruined complex. Du scrambled to their feet, compelled by a mix of survival instinct and an almost reverent fear, following close behind. The Doom Slayer’s silent presence was both a comfort and a reminder of the relentless force that had just saved them—a force that could just as easily end them if they stood in her way.
