Some of the warriors turned to battle with their enraged antagonists, but before the fiendish ferocity of the fierce beasts they went down to bloody death.
"We're finished, as far as the contest is concerned," said Agony gloomily. Sahwah turned her back sharply and winked her eyes hard to keep the tears from falling.

The brutal soldiery took a fiendish delight in fulfilling the order given them. They literally rent the clothes off the beautiful girl in strips and ribbons.
With one accord, they raised their eyes to the ceiling and uttered a terrible cry.
