~Bam!
The demon Beeldomad had been smashed into the wall like a common fly.
Right off the bat, everyone, including the demons, knew that things hadn't gone according to script.
Soon, their eyes fell onto the teenager standing before Hayden. And just when they were still guessing his origin, they soon heard another person exclaim loudly.
"It's YOU!!!"
[Audience]: Who?
'_'
Hayden, who just opened his eyes, as well as Minato and the rest, were utterly shocked and happy when they saw the young man before them.
Thinking about the warnings this guy had given them, he had definitely seen their fate today and warned them thoroughly, but they didn't heed his advice.
Thankfully, Mr. Divination Master here had a good heart, or he might not have bothered to come and save them at all.
As if seeing the light, they crawled towards him like babies.
.
Dorian was too lazy to care about their actions.
A good heart?
Well, whatever they wanted to call it, he didn't care.
Very abruptly, he turned towards his men who were struggling to act tough with their wobbly feet.
It looks like they had finally grasped the real essence of the Tian family's main source of income.
"Butler Sheng! Bewoh! Haru!"
Do you remember the papers I gave you earlier on?"
"Yes, young master." The trio answered in confusion. What do the papers have to do with the demons before them?
Dorian squinted his eyes at the angered demons before sternly looking at his guards again.
"Listen! We don't have much time left, so here's what I need you to do."
Shah, Shah, Shah, Shah, Shah~"
Eh?
Hayden, who was right behind them, didn't understand the language they were speaking.
Why? Because Dorian had cast a spell on things, lest the demons hear him as well.
And in no more than 40 Seconds, the gang broke off, with Dorian slowly advancing with his hands in his pockets.
He turned around one last time to look at his men: "This is your first task that I, the current head, is giving you. So don't fail me!"
Hearing this, the trio shivered uncontrollably as a strange aura hit them.
Was that coming from their Master?
That's right.
Now, he was the Head. So the title Master was in order. As for his father in a coma, they could call him Senior Master or anything else if they wished.
But he was the one now selected on the Tian family throne.
The trio shook from his aura as they hastened their speed.
Maybe it was just their imagination, but their intuition told them that their Master was a more frightening existence than these demons.
But how could that be?
They shuddered and threw the thought away, feeling it was impossible.
For now, they had to do their assignments, even if they were scared to the bones.
Nonetheless, they knew that with their Master here, they wouldn't die so easily.
With that, the trio moved in different directions while sending their hands into their inner chest pockets.
They would like to see what these things called Paper Talismans could do.
.
Dorian on the other hand, kept his hands in his pockets while advancing towards the humongous creatures that were 3 times taller and wider than he was.
Soon, his eyes settled on the fog around the invisible walls.
Energy Manipulation Fog!
'System, When's the heavenly hour in this world?'
[Host. It's between 3~4 A.M.]
[The system has to remind the host that no souls must be tempered with.
So the host has to save everyone.]
'I know.'
[Then if the host knows, why didn't this system see when the host implemented it into his plans when talking to his guards?]
'That's because you're blind and stupid.'
[_]
The system had never been so bullied before.
In truth, because Dorian had only briefly told his men what to do but didn't say what would happen when they did it, the system was left in a state of confusion.
Dorian on the other hand, forgot about his dumb system and looked at the fog around calmly.
Energy Manipulation fog!
'Oh? It looked like these people hadn't come to play around.'
To understand energy manipulation, one must first understand that all Mortals and beasts have certain amounts of either Yin or Yang in them.
The Yin is the dark side, associated with everything hard, negative, cold and bad, while the Yang is the bright side with positive things, like the sun.
Of course, Demons loved the Yin.
That said, the Yang part in mortals always disturbed the demons ruthlessly when they absorbed the soul.
It was like they had to check into a hospital to heal themselves.
The stronger or more the Yang is in the soul, the former the disturbance after feasting.
It was a basic fact that anything angels liked couldn't be beneficial for demons.
After all, the Yang itself was a manifestation of heavenly blessings.
So, typically, they could do what they did with Hayden's group.
Like give them all sorts of spiritual herbs and cast a spell on them, making them tastier for the meal.
It was like preparing food to be cooked.
In the case of those gang members who hadn't been pre-prepared, the Fog would manipulate their energies and was even more brutal... since it drew out Yang at a naked eye pace, leaving them with mostly Yin, making the victims paler and paler, with some looking bluish instead.
Some might even be crippled or fall into a coma after that.
When too much Yin got left within a person, it meant that they would start attracted all misfortunes in this world
They could just be walking by a building, and it would collapse on them, with only them dying.
The more hate they carry because of their misfortunes, the more Yin would accumulate in them.
It was a never-ending cycle. And wouldn't you know it? Demons loved this sort of energy the most!
.
The Demons looked at Dorian coldly while feeling insulted.
Katrina was spitting flames when she thought of Dorian's calmness before them.
She had never heard of an exorcist in this world.
So she was shocked by his presence here.
Nonetheless, the talisman he used to sneak attack Beeldomad was too weak.
So he should be a new exorcist.
This alone gave her and the other demons courage to deal with him.
They looked at Dorian and sneered.
Once done here, they'll send word to their big boss about today's encounter.
But for now, they had to teach this wannabe exorcist the lesson of his life!
The old Granny demon shook her insect-like claws in resentment.
"Insolent Human! Do you think you can take us down with just this level of skills? We are Bortho-Ranked Demons. So your only option is death!"
Feeling tired of listening to their pointless jabber, Dorian calmly took his hands out from his pockets before suddenly speeding up expressionlessly.
Why talk when you can fight?
~Boom!
The battle was on!
