- Nemu-ii! Besta Demónio, que mata Kundali e lhe rouba a pele! – rugiu, descontrolada. Antes que o golpe descesse, Chullain travou-lhe braço, puxou-a atrás, a tempo de evitar a pestilenta mandíbula, que estalou ar, em desesperada reação. O forte impacto do escudo da Guarda partiu osso, na face da criatura, e Carthas segurou-a por chifre, pronto a novo lenho. Babada em sangue, língua frouxa e olho vazado, a besta resistiu, com garras negras em cego golpe à escuridão. - Mata! – gritou Shella, e esperneou, entre os fortes braços do filho de Danu.		“Nemu-ii! Demon Beast, that kills kundali and wears their skin!” She roared, lost to any sense. But before her strike could land, Chullain stopped her arm, pulled her back, right when creature’s foul maw snapped the air to desperate revenge. Loud was the smash of Guard’s shield, the broken bones in beast’s face, and Carthas pressed down over horn, holding it for another blow. Slobber mixed with blood, bursted was the monster’s eye, shattered was its jaw where tongue dropped loose. Yet, it resisted, the foul thing, scratching aimlessly at darkness with black claws. “Kill it!” Shella screamed. She flounced in strong arms, but the son of Danu didn’t let go.
