Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

~Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!

Everyone watched the scene in shock, but no one had any sympathy for these Demons.

What a joke!

These creatures wanted to suck their souls out a few minutes ago, preventing them from judgement and reincarnation.

They didn't even know that these things were true until today.

So hearing that this would be their last life and last trace of existence if they get devoured, how could they not be happy that something was teaching these creatures a lesson?

In the meantime, as Dorian continued his beat-down, his men were also focused on their assignments too.

To understand their roles, one has to rewind back to the scene where the trio separated from Dorian.

The main demons had not been beaten yet, and the fight was still about to start.

Haru, Bewoh and Butler Sheng shakingly took out a few Talisman papers in their pockets.

The trio shook like leaves but could only grit their teeth and look at each other firmly.

[Bewoh]: "Stay safe."

[The others]: "Right!"

With this, the trio began their first tasks as no-rank exorcists.

.

,m Haru looked at the massive crowd and showed a calm and collected expression, even though his legs were wobbling.

He once again looked at the Master, who was still rushing up to fight the demons, and clenched his fists as if pulling strength to himself.

Tonight had been filled with all too many surprises.

But there was a sentence the Master said that gave him and the others a clue of what was about to come.

What did the master mean?

Were the demons trying to take over?

This was a question he would personally ask the master later.

He felt like things weren't as simple as they seemed.

But whatever the case, they had to fight if they wanted to survive!

With that, Haru dashed through the densely packed crowd, heading towards the now Foggy wall as fast he could.

The master said he had to act fast before it began.

He had no idea what 'It' was, but he had a bad feeling from it all.

And just as he began his run, the Foggy walls soon began swirling around the walls enclosing them, like a tornado.

It swirled and swirled until its milky white colour quickly turned black

And just them, the thick demonic vines fiercely grabbed everyone's legs, slowly moving them in like quicksand... Only, it took its time sinking them in.

But that wasn't all.

Just then, the dark fog stopped swirling, and everyone, except him and the other 2, now lifted their heads upwards like mindless zombies.

And what happened next shocked Haru silly.

~Boom!

Countless warm golden streaks of light shot out of everyone's bodies, moving straight to the dark fog.

And as the light continuously left them, their bodies became paler and paler, looking so sickly.

Haru's eyes turned grim.

It was beginning!

.

Haru, who had been running, fell straight on his chin.

~Plop

he turned around to find that the disgusting demonic vines had grabbed his legs like a snake, slowly wrapping his feet.

Dammit!

It got him.

He was angry for a moment before getting shocked.

Hold on.

Why wasn't the golden light thing leaving his body?

Looking around, he spotted Butler Sheng and Bewoh, who had been grabbed but were still fine as well.

And very quickly, the light switches in his head clicked.

Master!

Yes!  The Master must've put some protective thing on them.

But he had no time to feel happy.

Time was running out, and these vines were only pulling him in too.

What to do? What to do?

The vines are too thick to be cut with a blade or by gunshots.

No! This is something out of the ordinary.

So his usual methods wouldn't work.

Haru thought for a while before remembering Dorian's words.

'Right pocket, for battles.

Left Pocket, for the Wall.'

Wait!

When the Master said battle, he meant situations like this, right?

Thinking like that, Haru quickly took out one of the papers from his inner right pocket and looked at it carefully.

What writing was this?

No... it was more like very bizarre and unique symbols (runes) written in several circular patterns across the paper.

He had no idea what it meant, but he was willing to test his luck.

With that, he gritted his teeth and fiercely stamped the paper on the snake-like vine that had curled itself around his feet.

~Bam!

~Shraaaahh!

The vine cried in agony as blue flames from the paper scorched it mercilessly.

(°0°)

Haru opened his mouth in shock and wonder.

I'll go! That tiny paper did this?

Haru's heart speeded up as his hands quickly touched his pockets.

Oh my God!

Has he been walking with gold this whole time?

Yes. To him, such a thing was akin to gold.

Haru almost had the mind to count the paper talismans with him again, just to be sure that he didn't lose any one of them.

He felt from today onwards; he wouldn't be able to sleep well at night without them.

And now, even though he was still scared, it wasn't as bad as earlier on.

A slight smile appeared on his face as he hastily dashed forward after being freed.

At the same time, Butler Sheng and Bewoh had also seen the potential of these papers.

Now, they had more courage to do their job.

.

~Tap. Tap. Tap.~

The trio ran in different directions, all heading towards the massive foggy wall.

And as they ran, they did their best to jump, roll, climb, and dodge all the vines coming at them nonstop.

In the beginning, they ended up getting caught severely, but their trusty talismans were always there to their rescue.

They also noticed that their training as bodyguards was vigorously tested here since they imagined the vines to be numerous assassins coming at them from all angles.

But even at that, they had to admit that fighting these vines was way more complex than fighting humans.

The reason why these monstrous vines did indeed have the upper hand, was because unlike humans, these monstrous vines could appear right below them or at unnatural positions that humans couldn't reach.

One shouldn't even mention the flexibility of these vines.

And the more they advanced, the more they noticed that these vines were trying to grab their hands instead.

That's right.

If their hands were held down, how would they continue throwing Talisman papers?

Instantly, they understood that these monsters could think!

But they were not about to lose after getting this far.
