"Juin…"
"Juin…"
Juin could hear Cyrus and Wolfe calling out for him, but his body remained unmoving, and his gaze seemed to be fixed to a point.
"Juin, listen to me…"
This time, it was Lucifer's voice.
"Those things, they won't hurt you. If you are truly afraid, light up a few soul flames. Those spirits are weak, so they would be terrified of soul flames and move out of your way."
Hearing Lucifer's advice, Juin finally found the courage to look away from the black shadows.
"Would it hurt them?" Juin asked after a long silence. "I don't want to hurt them any further."
"Not unless you throw it at them," Lucifer reassured him. "Just keep the flames around you and be the human torchlight. After all, it's getting dark soon, so none of your little buddies will suspect much."
