Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?-Chapter 67 Being A Hero Was Tough
In a flash, the little girl vanished, only appearing before Dorian murderously.
Seeing that Dorian hadn't even reacted to her sudden move only made her feel more and more confident that he must be a waste of an exorcise.
'Boy, blame yourself for not knowing how big the world is. You are destined to become my meal!'
With that, she raised her elongated hands upwards before quickly sending a powerful slash towards Dorian.
And when the attack was just a few inches away from its mark, Dorian suddenly vanished as well.
Heh. 2 can play this game.
~Swish
The air whistled hard just from the fierceness of the attack.
And before the little girl could even question what the devil was going on, Dorian, who was now standing on her elongated hands, smiled cruelly.
~Bam!
The thing's body flew backwards, rolling for a bit before finally slacking a wall hard.
What???!
The thing stared at Dorian in disbelief. How could he be this powerful?
Its gloomy face grew even more frightening as it stared at Dorian as if wanting to laser him to death.
But soon after, the thing suddenly revealed a confident smile while staring at Dorian deeply.
From the attack force, it could confer that Dorian and itself should be of equal strength. Meaning if it played its cards right, it should be able to take care of this exorcist without taking on too much damage.
Yes. It can be seen that if there was a monster stronger than itself, this exorcist would definitely die tonight.
Tsk. If its older friend had accompanied it, then this exorcist would be a tiny insect in today's matter.
That's right. Itself and its other friend had long been planning for this night. Too bad its friend couldn't go out tonight after the underworld summons.
Thus, making it head out to feast on its own.
Well, even without its friend's aid, now that it had a grasp on this exorcist's matter, it felt like victory was very close.
.
Looking at matters more clearly, the thing felt that the only reason it got attacked earlier was that it had underestimated its opponent's strength.
But not anymore. Now, it will be unless it's full strength, embodying today's magnificent moon.
Oh... And at the same time, why not summon a few of its minions to take care of the others?
The little girl was talking about Butler Sheng, Zhulyn and Raulin.
At present, it couldn't feel any powers coming from them, so maybe they weren't even exorcists at all.
But since it misjudged Dorian's matter, it didn't want to take the risk, lest it made a mistake of misusing these people only to fail in the end.
And that's why it decided to summon forth its minions to do the job.
But no matter how its minions acted, they were not to eat or taste its food, or else it wouldn't mind slashing these hungry demons to bits!
Thinking like this, the little girl suddenly laughed hysterically as her entire body started breaking and expanding into a hunched, gruesome figure.
And at the same time, all around the scene, several reddish puffs of smoke began appearing, and the minions finally revealed themselves to all.
Things were about to get heated.
.
The little girl... No... The now 10 feet tall, hunched figure calmly took in a whiff of energy from the moon's essence and felt its entire body boiling with glee.
"Exorcist... Now, you will feel my full wrath."
Dorian looked at the thing calmly, took out a talisman paper and created a Giant sabre 5, times his size while looking at the Thing lazily: "You need mouthwash. Your breath stinks."
"You! You! You! You!... Damn, you exorcist!"
~Boom!
Both sides were now prepared to go all out.
But while the boss leaders vegan their works, the audience and Dorian's gang also had things cut out for them too.
Raulin looked at the dreadful rotting minions around and also felt pressure build up within him.
He didn't know what they were until Dorian's words echoed in his mind: [Morbid Demons! They have 3 hearts and can regenerate rapidly. Kill the hearts, kill them all. Once one heart is down, the regeneration process slows down too.]
Morbid Demons?
Raulin's muscles stiffened while gazing upon the rotting faces of the gruesome feigns.
His hands trembled with the sensations of a thousand spiders crawling on his back.
And the moment he stared at these demons, a wave of acid would form in his belly too.
F***! He was trying so hard not to throw up.
Ugly! Ugly! Too ugly!
Raulin's entire body felt repulsed... But who could blame him?
.
Earlier on, during the Ghu Sota incident, it was Dorian doing the battling. And even at that, he felt like the Hybrid water-Ghost demon he saw there was far better looking than any of these minions.
In truth, the stronger the demon was, the uglier it typically looked. But there was also another important point to note.
The stronger they were, the more control they had over their own being. They could choose to show all their ugliness or hide it at will.
In short, these minions here were too bottom feeders who had not been birthed willing ago... In terms of demon age.
One could look at 50 as being old. But for demons that live for centuries and millennium, it was too young an age.
Within the underworld, there were over 800 different types of creatures, from Ghouls, Goblins, Gordons, Evil spirits/Yokai and many more.
And all started at the lowest level after birth, worming their way up to the top.
Half of the demons birthed died after getting eaten by their other baby comrades too.
Heh. From the moment they were born, they had to fight for their rights to survive. Join a fraction, do something or overpower one's enemy with raw strength. Whatever it was they did, they didn't care. They lived off fear, destruction and loved deceit, and so on.
To them, this was the true meaning of life itself. At these times, who didn't want to be a top or leading power in the Underworld?
In fact, many would've wanted to become ruler themselves, but the current ruler was just too strong!
Unlike the heavens where the creator was in charge since he in turn created the angels, the underworld wasn't the same.
So far, there have been many rulers governing it over the millenniums. And it's not that they abdicated or anything, but that their competitors killed them. And if a demon kills another demon, they will be reborn from scratch again and have to work their way up the same way they did before.
Of course, if an exorcist killed a demon, the demon's entire existence would be no more. Meaning it would never be a demon again.
But funny enough, it will get the chance to be reborn as an object for 200 lives. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖
And as an object, it wouldn't have a brain or thoughts or even know that it used to be a demon.
Stone got turned into boulders, while others got turned into grains of sand instead.
And after 200 lives of being an object, it would have the chance to be reborn into the countless millions and billions of worlds as an animal for another 100 lives.
Of course, how it acted as an animal could also be a deciding factor for its future.
In short, it was a long process before it could ever be reborn as a human. If it were still too terrible, then it would pass through more processes before getting to be a human.
Cleansing an underworld entity and making it normal was a rigorous process once killed by an exorcist, angel or any heavenly being.
.
Morbid demons!
Parts of their faces seemed missing as if someone had taken chunks and bits off them.
Their faces were rotten with all sorts of bugs dropping from them. And worst of all, even their pieces of flesh started dropping off too.
Ugh...
They were about 4 feet tall, with some coloured red and others coloured green. They also had long devilish tails that had bladed ends too.
Raulin looked at them and recalled what Dorian had mentioned.
Apparently, these demons were too young (50~80) to develop or grow any true attacks. So they only had strength, razor-sharp teeth, agility and their spiky tails.
I'll go! If this was what they had when they were young, could they develop something like acid spits or fireballs when they grew older?
Raulin looked at the little devils dashing towards him like crazy with an anxious gaze before quickly yelling towards Zhulyn and Butler Sheng a little distance away, who were busy dealing with their own matters too: "Guys... I think we have trouble on our hands!"
"No sh** Einstein." Zhulyn yelled anxiously: "The Formation will soon be complete. 3 more minutes tops!"
3... More... Minutes?
~Gulp.
Raulin looked at the numerous waves of monsters dashing towards him and felt the weight of his assignment on his shoulders.
He had to protect everyone, just by himself!
As expected, being a hero was tough.
