Everyone had been In a state of hell, but once the reversal occurred, that's how they felt earlier on.
But with this reversal, the story turned different.
Their dream experiences became different; as they became saved, justice returned to them, and several things occurred that reminded them of the good in life.
Once their Yang got fully returned, they woke up from their dreams, crying and sweating buckets.
They were saved!
.
~Plop.
Several dropped to the ground in disbelief.
"I-I-I'm alive!... Hahahahahha! I'm alive!"
"Bro, did you have the same dream I had?"
"Bro... I don't think so. Trust me. No one could've gone through what I just went through. Do you see how much I'm sweating? Lying trough! I thought It was all real!"
"Wait! So... it was all fake?"
"Of course it was fake!... Look around you, we are still in that field. Yes. We must've been kept in that dream by those monsters!"
"I-I think the only reason we came back was because of the guy fighting the big Demons and the other guys fighting those other creatures."
"Look! The vines are no more! Do you think that they destroyed them?"
"Yes. They definitely did it! So do we help them?"
"_"
Some wanted to do so, but the moment they saw the demons, they still felt like throwing up and shivered in fear like chickens.
Everyone sneakily looked at their 4 heroes and felt like these people were too courageous!
Even now, they dared not look straight at these demons lest they catch the eyes of one.
So how can these people be comfortable looming and fighting them?
I'll go!
So there are really crazy people in this world.
(°0°)
Everyone watched the scene and felt like they were watching some fantasy movie.
Of course, little did they know that Haru's team could only face their fears because they knew that Dorian was there.
Not to talk of the fact that they had their trusty papers with them.
Without this much, they would've also been cowardly as well. And they weren't ashamed to say it!
After all, this was their first battle and first time, alright?
.
~Slash! Brumm! Pah! Slash!
Dorian squinted his eyes at Haru and the rest before turning his attention back at the painful demons before him.
'System... With the grade of demons here, the mastery of skills, and several other key factors... How close am I to leaving my No-rank Exorcist title?'
In fact, leaving the No-Rank wasn't that hard.
If one couldn't pass this simple stage, as well as mastering the fundamentals, spells and even breaking through their mortal shell through cultivation... then they had no place being exorcists
The real challenge came once this easy phase passed.
Dorian continued torturing these demons while waiting for the system's reply.
[Host. As you said, the demons here were higher and gave more points than the typical weak spirits and ghosts.]
[So far, with this kill and display, the host had only reached 95% to leave the No-rank title.]
'Good...'
Time to end this.
With that, Dorian smiled cruelly at the almost mutilated demons, who in turn shivered in fear with greenish tears in their eyes.
"Don't worry. I'll make this quick!"
With that, Dorian raised his flaming sword, and the entire space within his tiny formation became clouded.
Looking at the space, no one knew what he was doing, but it made the audience shiver as well.
This guy was definitely a scary one!
.
Meanwhile, Haru and his team had somehow gone through the formation and found themselves outside the now clear walls.
That's right; the walls weren't foggy anymore... And what were they doing out there, fighting the other bodyguard demons that came with the main demons?
Yes. They focused on fighting these demons half their size.
But make no mistake. Although short, these demons were high, flexible jumpers and had a lot of hidden strength within them.
So far, they had gone scratched and hit badly.
This was their first battle against real demons, and they were doing terribly.
Haru limped in agony as he dodged an attack but got scratched by one of the short demons.
F***!
It hurt so badly!
All they had to do was make sure that the teeth of these demons didn't touch them... At least that's what their Master said from 'That' far away.
Yup!
They didn't know if it was their imagination, but they heard Dorian's voice from afar.
That's what they did.
Luckily for them, Dorian who had finished his battle, effortlessly wiped the remaining demons with the flick of his wrists.
.
~Craaaahhhhh!
The remaining demons screamed, screeched and went up in flames as Dorian and the injured trio watched coldly.
Good.
It was finally over.
After all, he had a lot of things to do.
For one, he still had an Academy to open, No?
