Devil Breaker

It took a while to separate the details from
the carnage before him. The walls were spattered in a haphazard mess of blood and viscera as if flung by a large brush spun at high speed. It was everywhere, all of it originating from a central point. The body that lie before him had the look of someone who didn’t go quietly. Her body was bent at unnatural angles, covered in gashes from head to toe. But the more he looked at it, the more he realized it was all superficial. This was a trap. Unfortunately for this poor creature, walking into traps was his specialty.

The grizzled Kalashtar stood atop the rampart, scanning the scenery below. His prey was down there, patrolling the street, disguised as one of the guards. It was only a matter of time before it created another hapless victim, another innocent who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Good thing for them that he was here. A monster hired to kill the monsters.

Yeah, she picked this fight, and yeah she was technically at fault, but she wasn't the one with a bounty on her head. It was almost unfair watching the poor druid swing at her double, but it was perfect for creating the distraction needed to take him out. She really loved this job.

Consumate hunters, Devil Breakers are known across the world for their crusade against demon-kind. Whether actual devils, demons, or people who are evil beyond reproach, it makes no difference to the Devil Breaker, and they'll ruthlessly mete out justice to anyone who fits the bill.
