Bright blue light shone from within the monster, causing its body to jerk violently.
Its sturdy, shadowlike body began to spasm and change form continuously. I watched as the sharp spears lost their luster and simply became dull, shapeless blobs. The blobs hardened as light traveled through the Shadow Demon's body and began to leak all around the monster's body.
The blackness of the Demon's body turned ashen and it began to crumble. At this point, the creature looked bloated and rigid, like an overgrown statue, ready to burst.
>BOOOOMMM!!!<
The Demon died, or rather, it exploded—turning into particles of dust and smoke.
I watched as the grey remains of the monster I had just slain fell to the ground, looking around me to see no semblance of it anywhere… though I sensed the presence of two more climbing the stairs.
