~Drang!
He jumped through the portal and moved his fingers like crazy.
Time. Time. Time.
Hup! Hup! Hup Hup!
His actions were so hurried that everyone soon noticed the impending danger... Especially when Haru began to begin the countdown.
"12 more!"
Dorian continued, speaking faster than ever.
"11..."
He took talismans out and stamped them on the couple's face and that of the creatures kneeling before them.
"10...."
He began the permanent ritual of exchange, beginning things back to the way they were.
The little shadow aura gathered in the coupe was quickly drawn away and sent back to their shadows resting on the faces of the kneeling shell creatures.
"5!..."
Dorian continued, causing many to die of anxiety.
Dammit!
"4!..."
"From Shadow, you are... and shadow, you shall return.
~Swish!
He sent the shadows back!
And when they arrived in the Mirror World, the couple was again taken aback by the grotesque and hideous appearance.
They kept clawing at the portal, wanting to slice the couple to pieces.
['Host, nothing has been such in and there's no shadow essence detected either.']
'Hmmm...'
He figured as much.
You have to know that while he took care of the couple's problem, he also cleared the entire space within the formation, just in case something hid around the scene.
"3!..."
Dorian closed his eyes and began causing a whirlpool of wind in the room
" 2!..."
Finally, the portal began closing.
And when Dorian opened his eyes, he saw his shadow, smiling at him.
["One day, I'll be free from you~"]
Unlikely.
Dorian refuted in his heart.
Before the event ever made a move on him, he would have to prepare against it.
.
The couple were also very fazed, looking at their shadows coming back to them.
Also, a strange feeling swelled up inside, making them feel whole.
It was as though a hollow hole had been filled within them.
That's right.
Humans can't live long without a shadow.
It was unnatural.
The couple were still excited, so much so that they hadn't discovered the giant elephants beside them.
"Heavens!"
The couple quickly backed away, leaning on the formation's walls.
What the hell was this?
They stared at the shell creatures, wanting to not only like but bleach their eyes away.
They thought what they saw in that strange world was already a rat enough.
But how could they know it was nothing compared to these guys kneeling before them?
Horrible! Horrible!
The hunger that had attacked them the moment they arrived quickly curbed away in disgust
Half of the creatures' faces had vanished, as though someone had punched and created a deep dent.
However, this was all because their shadows that were used as face masks were no longer there!
.
"Haru, Bewoh... Enter."
Vmmm!
An opening was created, and the duo marched in with the wooden boxes at hand.
Today was their first time performing a true exorcism since taking the heavenly vow.
Haru and Bewoh were inwardly smirking, too excited to get started.
~Swish!
An ancient-looking book floated between the duo.
Flip. Flip. Flip.
The pages flickered, abruptly stopping on a specific page.
"Be ready!"
"Yes, Grandmaster!"
Everyone saw Dorian flick his wrist, withdrawing the coins on the creatures' faces.
The rest of their bodies were still pinned. But their faces could freely move.
Dorian chanted a spell to keep them suppressed before finally stepping back.
Alright.
It was time for the Exorcists-in-training to show their worth.
They had taken too long for this matter.
But finally, it was over.
