Vampires wiped out, deploy!

As the saying goes, the first time is hard, but the second time is easy.

When faced once again with the Warp rift opened by the Planar Diamond, Murphy took less than five minutes to seal it. It had gone so quickly not only because Murphy was now skilled at the task, but also because this rift hadn't truly opened. It had barely cracked before they intervened.

A textbook example of a "Warp incident" being resolved without a hitch.

As for the Worldburner demons that had charged through the rift into the material world and the Chaos egg that had sustained it, such minor problems weren't worth Murphy's personal attention with big names like Triss and Shani present.

"It's calling to me from the other side. Damn it."

Triss rubbed her forehead in front of the now-sealed Warp fissure and said to Murphy:

"I can hear its wailing. Has that thing learned to play the victim?"

"Maybe it isn't playing the victim. It really is willing to give up everything to merge with you, but we won't allow that to happen."

Murphy stroked Triss's cheek with a hand wreathed in Omega power, bringing her back to her senses. Shani stamped her foot in displeasure at the sight of such a tender "detoxification." What the hell was that supposed to mean, you damn Murphy?

When you detoxed me just now, you slapped me!

Showing favoritism, are you?

Just wait. I'm going to punch you hard in a minute, you damn Murphy, so you can feel the power of feminism in the literal sense!

"Easy, easy! Damn it, there's something in my heart. Pull it out first."

Only after the Worldburner demons and Chaos egg had been dealt with was Babro, the Blood Dread Duke who had served as the sacrifice, released.
