Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Have you ever seen slime explode?

Boom!

An enormous layer of gooey-greenish film exploded throughout the entire storage facility.

It was as though someone had turned on several giant hoses of goo, letting them flow through all walkways within the gigantic site.

~Shoooo!

The pressure was choking. And anyone who hasn't taken cover yet was carried away by the monstrous amount of green goo swimming around.

Unbelievable!

How could all this goo come from that tiny lady?

Everyone else could believe their eyes.

But what they didn't know was that the fact that she could expand and retract her body parts, meant that her insides were 30, if not more times larger than her outer appearance.

That is, at her age now, she could fill up 2 Olympic pools with her true gooey insides.

~Splack. Splack. Splack.

The splattering sounds of goo slapping onto the many crates and walls didn't stop for quite some time.

And soon, the scene quieted down again, with many poking their heads to the sides, trying to peek and analyze if the coast was really clear.

However, some wanted to die inside.

"Yahhh~~ Grandmaster. Grandmaster. I'm covered. I'm covered in that thing's green goo. Grandmaster, please, get it off! Get it off!... Bugh~"

The head security guard had tears in his eyes while puking to the side.

Oh my God! What was this?

Forget the fact that it was green and gooey. It looked like something in a witch's cauldron. Even now, bubbles were popping up on the surface of the goo, as though it was boiling. Moreover, it looked rotting.

Lying trough. He never thought he would ever see rotting goo in his life.

Are you saying that all these dead worms and flies were already within that lady's body?

~Blugh.

The head guard's eyeballs rolled as though he would pass out any moment from now. But dare he? No way! At least not until the Grandmaster got it all off him!

Ewww~~

Get it off! Get it off!

.

Everyone poked their heads but still didn't move out of their hiding spots.

You want them to walk through these stained open paths? Impossible!

The floor looked so cursed and alive that they would rather jump off a moving airplane with no parachutes than walk these paths.

As for those who were on the other side, previously laying on the floor in wait for a rescue, nothing got on them because of Dorian.

Yup!

Dorian and the other lady in green had been fighting and backing their side. So when the rushing flood of Goo stormed their way, Dorian deflected the flood with one move, as though he were parting a sea into 2.

Thus, they were saved from contamination.

Damn it! Damn it!

The pinned-down lady in green already felt weakened.

For her 'sister' to have blown up meant that one of her hearts was destroyed. And because of their massive 'inner' size, rejuvenation would take up to an hour.

One shouldn't forget that her strength would be reduced if any or all of her sister's hearts were destroyed, as well as if her sister git exorcised or purified.

So now, she felt weakened with the destruction of that one heart.

As for her sister, she was still alive.

What? Did you think she would die that easily?

Nope! She had just gotten into a slumbering state because of the rejuvenation period. Those were one of the weaknesses they had as Mantanoids.

If one liked carefully, they would be able to see that all the splattering goo was slowly creeping and glueing back together. And if nothing got done, within an hour or so, the lady would glue back all-new... but weakened and lower than before.

Of course, 30 minutes well into the rejuvenation period, the lady in blue should regain her senses, even though she would still be in this gooey form.

The head guard was lucky because if the lady had regained her consciousness, then she would have some contour of killing him with all the goo that covered him.

And, she could also escape through the vents or any other places. Provided a single piece of her fled, she would have a chance of regrowing back... With just one heart this time.

However, where does Dorian have the time to keep waiting for her to rejuvenate?

Dorian glanced at his watch thoughtfully.

11 minutes.

They had 11 entire minutes, and 15 was his max.

Alright, time to exorcise!

.

Up first, he decided to gather the blown-up goo.

Swish!

He took out his special carving pen, and an unfolded empty roll of Talisman paper the size of a standard book page.

With crossed legs, he placed the paper down and channeling his energy to the many characters and symbols he scribbled.

VM.

The symbols faintly lit up for only a second before fading away, looking like any normal ink writing would.

No! The lady in green was horrified after feeling the power in that symbol. Just from this distance, she could feel a force pulling her closer to the paper.

F***!

If not for the fact that she was already pinned down by the many coins on her body, you best believe she would be rolling towards the papers uncontrollably.

Dorian remained entirely focused, tuning himself out of the world around him. His every action conveyed his orders, and like a mighty general, the runes accepted the mission bestowed on them.

And once he was done, he calmly placed his pen back and moved his fingers severely.

Hup! Hup. Hup!

His fingers moved crazily as if he were a ninja, creating many different symbols.

And soon enough, he clapped his palms together loudly: "Gather!"

VM!

The large paper quickly lit up, producing a vast ray of golden light.

What was this?

(°∆°)

Everyone saw the gooey particulars around them levitate and fly towards Dorian at an alarming speed.

Swish!

Like a powerful vacuum, the paper did its job at sucking every underworld essence it could feel.

~Vmmmmm!

The Paper did its thing.
