I focused and created a small ball of light.
But the moment the ball manifested the black thing screamed in a very high-pitched voice so loud, I felt my eardrums would burst, but after what my ears went through, no such thing happened.
The voice did resemble a girl's though. And yet the thing still wasn't attacking us.
Since I had holy, basically the stuff that beat shadow, I had to take this one, whether I liked it or not. "I'll take the lead." I walked ahead and Ve moved away. The thing was slowly backing off. It didn't have feet or hands. It was just a typical round spiky thing with black mist falling from it and disappearing: there was nothing typical about it though. "Do we know what it is?"
I didn't care though. I just wanted to get this over with and get out of here.
"A malicious spirit, kill it before it-"
