The moment Slayer snaped the straw doll in half, the vicious creatures that swarmed him exploded in a pool of blood. Their blood formed a tidal wave that streamed into the straw doll, turning it crimson.
The straw doll seemed alive now as it stared at Aronaut, opening its mouth to unleash a baleful scream.
"Gah!" The whites of his eyes were displayed as Aronaut almost lost consciousness. The screech of a baleful spirit resounded as the crimson doll appeared in his mind, rampaging around as it devoured any memories it came across.
But immediately after, Aronaut calmed down, regaining consciousness as mystical chains wrapped around the crimson doll, corroding it as all the devoured memories returned to his mind.
Aronaut had transformed into a Witch himself, erecting countless mirror-like barriers around himself to protect against Witchcraft.
