Joyride doesn’t respond back to that, and instead points her horn in the direction of the trio. A massive wave of fire rolls down the hallway, engulfing everything. As it gets close to Lockepicke something suddenly jumps in front of her.
It’s Hauberk, and he raises his right forearm, causing a dome-like shield to cover the pair of them.
“See? I wasn’t kiddin’ when I said I’d protect you.” Hauberk says winking at the mare.
After the fire passes Lockepicke sees a sizeable chunk of the demons are still there, as well as Joyride and surprisingly, Lucian. In fact the older stallion doesn’t look any worse the wear, and he charges right at the unicorn.
“C’mon! We need to get to that room!” Hauberk says charging the nearest demons. Lockepicke switches to her shovel and starts swinging away. She isn’t strong enough it seems to kill these twisted abominations herself, but she can knock them away.
For his part Lucian seems to be keeping toe-to-toe with Joyride. The second he got close Lockepicke could see the alarm in her face and she cried, “Where did you get that weapon?”
Using the distraction Lockepicke manages to dive inbetween the demons and Hauberk and into the room with the summoning circle. Hauberk quickly circles around to the doorframe, bottlenecking the demons there and keeping them from entering the room.
Lockepicke jumps on the platform and begins trying to scratch the sign away with her hooves, but it doesn’t seem to work. Next she scrapes at it with her shovel, and then her knife, but still to no avail.
“Hurry up!” Hauberk says, taking a scratch to the face from a demon before caving it’s head in with his blade, “I can’t do this for much longer!”
What does Lockepicke do?
