Templars are walking down a narrow path towards the cave entrance. Twenty knights are leading the way while Farnese and Rowan are in the middle. 

Upon reaching the end of the path, they realize the entrance is just a spacious natural floor covered by escarpment. 

As sunlight could enter the inside from various openings, the interior is bright without the need for torch. 

As most of the templars reach the floor, silhouettes of men are seen jogging towards them. They are obviously refugees.

"Heretics. Resistance will be dealt with harshly!" The leading Templar bellows.

The attacking knights stop in their track when they notice something is off. The refugees are covered by blood. 

"What is going on?"

"Blood on them."

The advancing refugees who are striding quickly suddenly move cautiously when they reach slightly bright area as if avoiding sunlight. 

"Jeff. Check on them." A squad leader instructs his underling.

The underling looks back at his captain to disagree with that order. 

"But, captain .. "

"What? Are you disobeying us?" The captain scolds him awkwardly.

"It's fine. Four men follow behind him." Rowan interferes.

"Understood, my lord. You four..follow Jeff!"

The captain slaps the shoulder of four men. The four men look at each other and seem to be in dilemma.

Jeff reluctantly walks towards the darker area, followed by the other four.

They walk until they reach just in front of the crowd. The other templars approach them by several steps, allowing the remaining knights to reach the floor.

The five leading men point their spear towards the suspicious men.

A refugee step up and utters painful voice,

"Help me.."

"What are l.." Jeff finds it weird and move his face closer to the man to see his condition but suddenly the man jumps at him.

"What's happening?"

"I don't know. He just attack him!"

"Hey, stop...oh, no..he is biting Jeff!"

The front men become chaotic.

The refugees swarm at those four.

"What?" Farnese turn to her left and right but everyone is as shocked as her.

"Five steps forward and attack anyone who close in!" Rowan orders but situation becomes even more chaotic as some knights advance are blocked by the knights who are stupified at their spot. 

The refugees start to jump at those at the front.

"What's going on with them??"

"Don't care. Kill them if you want to live!"

Indecisive templars are brought down by the weird men while the ones actively stab the advancing foes are able to keep their position.

"What are these people?" Farnese instinctively retreats but a refugee grabs her shoulder. Their face look normal but he is trying to bite her.

"Aaaaaa!"

She helplessly yells but a sword pierces the attacker and throws him away. 

"Stay behind me, Lady Farnese." Rowan stabs the man again before moving to stand in front of the female commander.

"Rowan, w-what is with them?"

"I heard the heretics use drugs during the rites. Maybe the drugs turn men into hungry beasts."

Rowan voices up his guess while kicking several advancing foes.

"Drugs?" Farnese watches how the men overpower knights with weapons and several knights are killed by the men using their bare hands and teeths. 

"Are these really cause by drug? Can drug do these?" 

She just hysterically shouts her doubts as the refugees are in amok.

***

"Die, you monster!"

Soraya shoots her crystal arrow to a man who is halfway climbing the escarpment.

Crystal arrows are not deadly but they effectively injure or immobile enemies if pointed at right spot in their bodies. 

Furthermore, crystal arrows consume far smaller magic power compared to her eyes. 

Protected by the steep cliff, her arrows stop the climbing men for over half an hour.

As they are outnumbering crystal arrows, several monstrous men somehow reach the edge of escarpment but Nina always them with the large rock she picked up from there.

"But the hell is going on?"

Soraya looks down in anxiety, seeing more and more people getting bitten by fellow men and later everyone turned aggressive. 

"The templars are coming in droves too.." As the cave is not really closed area, she could see what is transpiring at the other side where church knights are fighting against the man eating heretics. 

"Thing's really going down!" She laments in panic.

"Aaaaa!!" Suddenly, she is brought to reality before her by Nina's shriek. 

Nina points towards beneath them.

The bitten orc that is now become even monstrous is climbing with a dozen of monstrous heretics, and they have managed to climb so high while Soraya was not alert. 

She shoots several arrows in sequence but their number is too many. Several of them already are about to reach the edge and the orc is also closing in.

"Nooo. Die!" Nina hit one with the rock.

"Damn, my blunder!!" Soraya shouts while shooting her magic arrow.

***

The knights had advanced into the darker part of the cave due to Farnese's command to finish off the weird heretics but now they are embroiled in disordered fights,. scattered all over the place. Each knight is holding against at least single berserker. The maniacal refugees are overwhelming with bare hand while trying to bite their targets. The templars are holding with their shields and spears. Their weapons have wounded the savage men but the berserkers ignore their wound and resume attacking as if their pains are nothing.

"This can't do, my lady!" A squad leader shouts at the lady commander while stabbing a men who is pinning him down.

"We should retreat and regroup!" Rowan, in front of her, advises her politely despite being swarmed by the foes. 

Still stunned, she glances around and makes several steps backward. 

"You are right, let's leave.."

"Aaaaa!!"

Before she could finish her command, two girls are running towards them; one is wearing tattered clothing like a refugee while another is wearing a robe. The girl in robe is holding the latter. They run in between the fighting men. 

Two knights who have just defeated enemies are shocked and stand still, watching them.

"Girls?"

"Why are girls here?"

While they turning their back towards the incoming enemies, a massive body jumps over and land on a berserker, making a splash sound as its weight pummels the man.

The two knights, react to the sound by turning their heads to the other way.

"Men... Run..!!" Farnese warns them from distance.

A giant naked man steps away from corpse. 

"What?"

"Oh, my god!"

"Pig."

A man with pig's face with a massive body is walking towards them. 

"Die, you monster!"

The two men stab their swords into its body but the blade seems stucked.

"Just escapee!!" Rowan shouts.

But it's too late as its large hands grab the knights' heads. 

The two girls stop behind Farnese.

She and Rowan turns at the girl in robe.

"You..what is happening?" She asks in confusion and horror.

"I am Soraya Zoen. I am saved this refugee girl from heretics. Listen carefully. A monster with wings flied in and had bitten several men. The men died but then woke up as man eating monsters. They killed others and the bitten men turned into those things. The pig faced monster is already here when first came."

Perplexed, they glance at the pig faced monster that is crushing the two knights. 

"Lady Farnese. No doubt. We must abandon this place!"

"Run, everyone!!" An elderly templar that had killed several monsters blocks the monster's advance. 

Another knight stabs its side. It catches his arm, lifts him up and pummels him onto the floor.

"Aaaaaaarghhh!!"

It roars to its surrounding. 

"What's that?"

"It's real monster!"

"No. Reach if them is monster!" 

The templars are yelling at each other in panic.

The templars start running to the exit.

"Hei! You guys are knights, right? Hold your line and fight, coward!"

Soraya who is trying to run is blocked by the escaping knights.

A knight accidentally push Nina and she falls down.

"Damn, you useless men!" Soraya shouts and try to evade the escaping men, and closing in towards Nina. 

The remaining berserkers are rampaging towards her.

"Hey something passed through us!" Men at the exit shouts.

"Look!" A man points towards the cave wall. 

A girl in revealing black outfit is shockingly running along the wall without falling, defying law of gravity.

"Zombies? No.. but half zombies?" The girl says in high pitched voice as she stops and her foots glued to the wall. 

She notices the two girls pushed down by the escaping men, and chased by the half zombies.

"Take this!" She throws several round like things towards the rampaging heretics.

"Kuro.." Soraya, notices her presence and takes the chance to pull Nina up as everyone stares at Kurotsuchi who is standing on the high wall without falling down according to gravity.

As the rampaging heretics close in, the thrown balls explode between the monsters. Dozens of heretics are blown away by the man made explosives.

"Damn it. That's all I have . Soraya, run!!"

The orc punches away several heretics nearby Nlthe girls and grab Nina. 

Unlike the templars' fate who were immediately killed, Nina's arms are being held by its massive hands. 

Soraya's eyes go wide as she sees the orc's dick hardens and points forward. Even Rowan and Farnese who stand nearby Soraya are watching helplessly.

The dick is used to pull Nina's loose pant down. 

Nina's naked crotch is bare for all to see.

"Stop it, you pervert pig!" Soraya shoots several berserkers who approach her before shooting the orc. But it ignores its wounds caused by the magic arrows.

"Orc. How it is here?" Kurotsuchi trembles while she stands horizontally with her foots on the wall.

"We must help the girl." Farnese throws ricks at the orc.

"My lady, please ignore them!" Rowan pleads with her. 

Suddenly, a figure looks behind them. 

The figure belongs to a young woman holding a sword, too large for a woman. 

"Lyla. Thank god you are finally here. Luckily, you are the only one I found near here." Kurotsuchi calls her comrade.

"You.." Farnese turns to Lyla.

Lyla walks past the dumbstruck templars. 

She points her blade towards the orc.

"Your life ends here, monster!" Lyla yells.
