Would this...Is this...Is it controlling these things?! But it's too far down... He made a mental note before he was snapped back to the current situation by footsteps behind him.

Sensing no immediate danger coming from the chapel, Dante swung the sword back just in time to catch a gleaming golden one on its edge the impact sending vibrations up his arm. Feigning being pushed back, he let the corpse tower over him, then kicked it sharply in its gut, sending the thing flying reeling backwards into another of its companions.

But the force of the blow also knocked Dante back into what was now a half-wall with broken glass sticking out, and a third, fourth, fifth monstrosity veered towards him. Grasping the sword with both hands, he swung -- managing to cleave two of them in half -- then ducked under golden death, grabbed an arm, the skin almost sagging off it, pivoted, and flung the last opponent into the depths of the abyss he had just discovered.

Half content to just stay outside the main battle and just pick off foes as them came after him, he took a good look at the rest of group...and made his mind.

With the larger sword to the side, he ran at full tilt towards...

...a newcomer? No...he had felt something of this person's presence all along. He'd have to ask her exactly how she had hid herself. But for now...

A few more steps brought him face-to-face with a group of creatures behind the girl, and he used the momentum from his mad sprint to whirl the blade around him, its segments flying apart, whiplike. Finally. It made a satisfying whirring sound as he spun it into a black disk of dismemberment.

It's been a while since I've been able to wreak wholesale slaughter, huh...
