7:15 p.m.

As Libricus advanced towards the group, everyone had to decide what to do next quickly. Ultimately, they decided to run, unwilling to suffer the same fate Shane did. Erin, however, was not so lucky and ended up tripping.

She saw Libricus looking down upon her.

"No... please, no!"

The entity brought the dagger down, hitting her throat. Then, for added effect, he twisted the weapon.

While Erin lay on the ground choking on her blood, Libricus noticed a few people had run into the kitchen. When he reached the room, he found Tyler, Rachael, and Corey backed up against one of the walls.

"You stay the fuck away from us!" Tyler shouted, brandishing a large, serrated knife.

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THAT CAN HURT ME?!

"Luckily, I did my research." Tyler swung the knife down onto The Dark Opus that connected Libricus. A large gash wound appeared on his torso, spilling blood onto the kitchen floor.

OH, I'M NOT LETTING THAT HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN.

Libricus yanked the blade from the book and swiftly struck Tyler in the forehead. This action caused the young man to fall, with the knife's end hitting the floor first, making the entire blade slice his forehead open.

Rachael and Corey stared in shock.

YOU TWO HAVE NO IDEA HOW DAMNED YOU ARE.

Libricus raised his dagger, but before he could strike Rachael, she came to her senses and dodged the attack. Corey then got an idea. He rushed forward and stuck his fingers in the book's hole created by Tyler. This caused Libricus to screech out in pain. While this occurred, Rachael pulled the serrated knife from Tyler's head.

"This time, it's really game over, motherfucker!"

She swung the knife hard onto the book and kept hacking away until The Dark Opus was cut in half, causing the beast to split in two at the waist. Surges of blood and viscera sprayed all over the back half of the kitchen.

"Oh God..." Rachael muttered as she became weak from her own blood loss.

"Rachael, no! Hang in there!" Corey screamed. "Somebody help us!"

"I'm on it," a male voice declared outside the room. A few seconds later, a loud boom rang out as Libricus' right arm got severed above the elbow. As the man looked at the result, even more blood poured out of the demon.

It was Rick Savini, equipped with a shotgun.

"You might wanna look away, kid," Rick warned.

The makeup artist fired another shot, cutting off the left arm. "Now for the grand finale."

One more shot got fired, making Libricus' head explode. Blood and brain chunks flew near Rick.

The whole kitchen now seemed covered in gore. Libricus' body began to disintegrate. Soon, nothing of the monster remained except his clothes and the bisected Dark Opus.
