If you think you can take him down fast enough, go ahead.

Otherwise it seems more important to NOT get caught by crazy guy who killed the worm.

Grah! I severed its other arm too!
I need to be more careful.

Well, the mask is kinda broken. I think it is still kinda unharmed, only the band got harm.

>"...A mortal humananana? Herere..? Why you... insolent.."
"Yeah yeah! Sorry about those arms, but I really need info on about how to get inside Dis!"
>"... Hrpgh. If I knew easysysysy way, I would be thererere. All roads are... deadly, tormenting."
"Tell me and I'll leave your legs where they are."
"... The bridge, guarded by puppet of Demon Emperorororor. The tunnels, dangerous, inhabited, guarded, full of liquid stonenenene. Ferry over the Sea of Regrets, dangerous, sea is deep, heavy, all misery. That is what I know."
"Uh. Thank you."
>"Hah, you will only get gruesomely brutalizededededed. Now--- get out."

By tunnels it means the 'Underground Passage' as marked in map?
Okay! Cool! Now I need to deal with that other thing. And my mask... Damn.

What, you don't have any tape or anything like that? For shame.
Hold that mask to your face and get out of there asap.

Oh, yeah, and make fun of his stutter.

Your beanie shold be able to hold the mask on until you have time to use something like a strip of cloth or peice of rope to fix the band.

>>372901
The guy just helped us out, making fun of him would be thougtless. Not to mention we already blew off his arm.

Ask him if he has anything useful for combat and survival. And by ask, I mean continue to interrogate.

>>372896
Gunna want to repair that, I'm surprised you didn't even bring any needle or thread, or superglue or duct tape... something to seal a wound together.

Seriously kid, you are on an adventure in HELL, one would think you would have brought a bit more in a backpack or something!?

...but I guess we will just have to tear some of your clothing up for a replacement strip of cloth.

Put the mask back on ASAP. Demons have already detected a human here. Better leave real fast.

I quickly bandage the wound.
Now I'll just try to get out of this city as fast as I can, get this shit repaired and get inside Dis.

"Oh, good day to you, human. I have heard of you from my great comrade, Ehesiel. I am Gjojus Mjin, one of the Scutum. I am required to end your existence. Give me best you have, mortal."

Well, shit.

>>373409
Looks like the handle to a blade on his back, might be a good first target.

Damn decent for him to announce himself though.

this guy appears to have clawed his way to near the top of the infernal hierarchy while maintaining some amount of chivalry and respect for fair play. that means both that he has weakness that rivals can take advantage of, and is less likely to use sneaky tactics, meaning he can hold his own against top level demons with a massive disadvantage. in short
RUN
LIKE
HELL

if you think the mask is working right at this time you could try "i believe you are mistaken, the mortal is in there" and point to the building you just came from.

that's some fancy armor this gent has. Seems like he has a face on his chest-plate, gun him in the cross on his faceplate then aim for the chest.
After that, run like hell.

Woah, I don't think you can take this guy. The fact that he's polite and somewhat honorable here shows that he is major powerful. I mean think about it; this the equivalent of someone back in the human world who does nothing but shout abuse at anyone they see, and nobody stops them because nobody can stop them, they just beat the shit out of anyone who tries.

"You guys are in charge around here and stuff? My brother was dragged down here two years ago even though hell was apparently supposed to be inactive, that must be against some demon law or something. I'm not down here to cause trouble or anything and was wondering if we could work out getting my brother out so we could leave. Last time I didn't get to ask"

"Correct. The Scutum is in charge of defending the Dis and the Demon Emperor. I find tale of your brother... concerning. There hasn't been demonic gate open for your decades. Only a powerful demon can retain physical form in the outside world without going through a demonic gate. Only demons powerful as us are capable of it."

Scutum...

"I shall look into it. However, you still must die!"

>SWOOSH!
>BANG!

Woaaah! Almost got my head!
That blade is mighty cold, must be enchanted or something! I managed to land a shot on the demon, but
it only chipped the armor. I guess I might be able to break the armor, but that might take some time.
And the symbol on the chest... That is the same symbol the other Scutum had on its shield. It might be able to reflect my shots, so I don't think shooting it is a bright idea.

I could stay and fight or escape... but where? My mask might be able to hide my presence provided I am far enough from the Scutum-demon.

Ask him why he is afraid of a mortal child.
Perhaps...

"Hold! What you are doing to me is wrong! Why do you do this thing?

>>374268
he may have honor but he is still a demon. he has orders.

yell "okay activate it!" and act like you are yelling behind him. if he turns to see who you are yelling to it will give you the distraction you need to escape.

and how tough is gunfriend? is he some highly powerful unbreakble weapon? if so you could try to parry a blow with him.

Escape, since he'll be looking for your bro's kidnapper.

>>374267
OH shit this is gonna be a Demon Souls/Dark Souls type boss fight, and we don't have any estrus potions or armor.
Dodge, dodge, dodge for the love of life and god!
Try to dodge near the wall, we need to know if he can cut through the buildings here. If not, then we might have a chance.

And since you seem to be good at multitasking, ask him laws you have broken.

>>374268
This, but keep dodging like your life depends on it (which it does). I doubt that The Words will do much but it's still worth a shot, I guess.

Hah, dodging is not too difficult! I am really good at dodging if anything! The demon is fast, sure, and very strong ( single slash could be the end of me! ), but he is not as fast and agile as I am!
And I am not escaping! Better do all this myself than leave it in hands of some demon!

"Haha, what? Are you afraid or me?"
"First, mortals are not tolerated here. Especially some from Twewy-line. Second, you possess property of Dis."
"Property?"
"Yes, object was stolen from shrine of the Gabarruon."

The golden thing?
Interesting.

Okay, so, should I flee or should I focus on taking the demon down?
If this demon is anything like the one on the train, he should have a core or something somewhere! Probably in his chest.

Explain how you came across that item and see if you could go about negotiating the item's safe return in exchange for passage into Dis, or at least a legal right of passage in the demon realm.

>>375082
Go for the knees. Reduce his mobility to increase your advantage. Ask about your grandpa!

flee, this guy seems to be fairly cool for a demon. also he's going to be looking into finding the demon who broke the law and stole your bro. he's also probably a fair deal stronger than the demon we fought on the train, since he got just as far in the demon hierarchy without being a total bastard.

yeah, chances are very high he is going easy on you right now.

"Say, do you know my grandfather?"
"Archibald Twewy? Hm, he did enter underworld decades ago, according to my our Demon Emperor Xaffiquel. He was did advance deep inside our territory, his goal to terminate a demon gate residing inside this city. He managed to shut it, however, he was bit later mortally wounded by Scutum Xisezadtaq. As his last effort, he managed to banish himself back into the mortal realm. And it seems that he made a recovery."

Names... Man, my grandfather was kinda rad!
He did tell a tale about getting wounded by a jester or something like that...

Man, dodging is kinda painful. So many close calls with that blade. It emits a powerful freezing aura.

"Hehe, you are too slow! You cannot even touch me!"
"We'll see about that."
He strikes again, blade striking the ground. It sinks into the ground like a knife in butter.

"Hah, ya missed pal!"

Wait a sec...
I'm stuck! My foot is stuck!
And now other demons are getting interested in our fight and gathering around!

Darn it!

Shoot the ice connected to your foot, be careful not to shoot close to your foot. And try to keep an eye on him. He is probably preparing to finish you.

Shoot the ice and fucking RUN dammit!

"Hm, very quick indeed. However, you cannot avoid my blade forever."

That thing was so cold! Man!
I am freezing here. I have to get out of here quick!
I need to hatch an escape plan! I might be able to break right knee of the demon with few shots ( but it will probably reverse damage in few moments, enough for me to gain much distance! ).
And all these masses of demons... I need to get through them too. They are much, much weaker than the Scutum tho.

>>376273
This is a good moment to use any remaining jetpack fuel in an effort to get away.

>>376273
Look- his left knee. The armor is already cracked and there is green flame leaking from it. A weak point I think. Save the jetpack fuel for a PANIC moment.

>>376273
Blow open his knee with a high power shot, then jetjump and rebound off some buildings... get some distance and get out.

>>376273
What about drawing him THROUGH the other demons?
If you are good enough at dodging to successfully evade a Scutum, you could easily weave through them to anywhere else.

It blew through he's armor and made a nice hole into his flesh!

The flesh shifts and slowly begins to repair the damage I managed to do! Asdfg, why must Scutum have all these abilities.
And to top it off, the armor too begins to repair itself too.
I've had enough of this.

"I'm out. Bye."

So, I can deal damage to a Scutum. Well, not permanent, but some at least!
Man, so unfair.

Now, which way should I escape? Should I head for the tunnels? Or the bridge?
I don't really know where the ferry is. I could try to find it.

Scutum's presence flares.

>>377169
Tunnels, should be a more stealthy way to enter.

>Scutum's presence flares

Watch out, he might still be trying to pull something. Go for the tunnels. You might be able to lose your pursuer or push him into a pit of lava or something.

Nice try demon!
Sleeping and eating was a great idea! I am like greased lightning!
But, man, no jetpack fuel left, that's bad. I am not going to get any more of that shit.

However, getting out of the city won't be too hard! I can use my mask to avoid lesser demons and use my speed to avoid the Scutum, who has been the only one seeing through it!

To the tunnels!
Dis awaits!
