Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Bam! Bam! Boom!

Chan-ki was besieged again and again by the regenerating creature.

But at least, he was able to make a few moves on his one.

Dodging an attack, his heart stumbled over its rhythm while his eyes jumped around, trying to find an entry point through the creature's defence.

'Speed... It's wicked fast.' He thought.

Dammit!

Jump, duck, roll, twirl... The creature had him dancing to the beat.

Worst yet, it had only been no more than 3 minutes since the fight began. Yet, he already had a purple discolouration on his cheek from the creature's deadly blow.

Maggots flew in the air, almost going up his nostrils.

Augh!

Chan-ki's throat closed up, cutting off his air circulation.

Disgusting!

The maggots fell and wiggled on the floor, squirming about whenever the creature moved even the slightest.

Oh my God!

What were all the creatures he had seen rotting?

The foul stench alone could knock out a cow, yet he was doing his best to hold on and not puke.

'No! This can't go in for long. I have to end this fast... Find one of 2 hearts... Find 1 of 2 hearts...'

Chan-ki lurched again to the side and evaded another attack while observing the creature.

Where was it? Where was it?

'There!'

~Swish!

In a flash, Chan-ki ran in a zig-zag manner towards his opponent.

Thap. Thap. Thap. Thap~

Boom!

What?

~Grawwww~

One foot back, another one back.

The mummified creature stagnated from immense pain after realizing that it had been tricked.

That's right. Chan-ki allowed himself to get sent flying, but not before placing up to 4 talismans on a single spot.

Bam!

Chan-ki smashed into the wall, struggling to carry his aching body.

Hiss~

Weak... He was too weak compared to brother Sheng.

However, seeing that he had at least done this much, Chan-ki stood squarely and proud of his accomplishment.

.

~Bam! Bam! Thap! Thap! Boom!

The air was tense and so brittle, as everyone's heart was hanging on a single thread.

Goosebumps covered their bodies, the more intense their gazes were.

'Come on!... Come on!... You can do it!'

Bam! Bam! Bam!

~Gwarrr~

The creature moved in drunken agony, slapping itself along the walls.

Pain. Pain. Pain... It felt like someone was constantly burning its insides with a strange fire.

And soon, a sizzling noise echoed out, followed by a bright light that seemed to burst out of its left lower belly.

Chan-ki's eyes anxiously widened, looking for where to stand.

F***!

It was going to blow, wasn't it.

Very quickly, Chan-ki maneuvered himself away from the creature's left body.

~Grw? Grw? Grw?

The creature's face was filled with worry, panic and concern, as though not knowing what to do.

~Puff!

Its left-side belly ruptured, spewing out greenish bile mixed with several white and blackish rotting worms.

Oh my God! Why were the worms themselves also rotting?

Black!

Its insides smacked the formation walls, causing the driver and Fei Nyah to puke.

As for Chiyou, she was still struggling to hold back as well.

Luckily, because of last time's event, she had become a tad bit stronger when seeing such disgusting scenes.

Horrible. Horrible... She felt like plucking her own eyes out and smashing them with a hammer.

Say no more... Fei Nyah was also in the state of doubting herself.

How? How could someone such as herself be next to these things all this while?

No wonder they refused to show themselves to her.

If they did, do you think she would dare to make a deal with them? Well, maybe she still would've... But at least, she would've done so, not asking for too much, lest they turn her into such a freak too.

Chan-ki was on a roll, taking advantage of the creature's pain and finishing it as though it were a mortal Kombat character.

Fatality!

~Bam! Bam! Puff! Boom!

~Grawwww~

(:¥w¥:)

...

Chan-ki became merciless. However, compared to Dorian, he still had far much more to learn from the master.

BAM! BAM! BAM! PAH!~

What the hell?

The creature saw stars with every attack that landed on it.

F***!

Dorian was too ruthless, not even letting it stand or have the brain capacity to think.

The moment it opened its eyes, Dorian's giant club was there to welcome it.

That's right. Like a caveman, Dorian had plummeted it deep to the ground, destroying the wooden floors.

"Are you ready to talk?"

Bam!

"Now, are you ready to talk?"

"_"

The creature had no tears but wanted to cry. No... More accurately, it wanted to report to the heavens about the behaviours of their exorcist.

How can someone ask a question but not give time for the question to get answered?

With an expressionless face, Dorian flexed his club on the creature.

~Bam! Bam! Bam!

Everyone watched, not knowing whether to sympathize with the creature or not.

Even when standing, all they could see was the creature's giant feet sticking out of the floor. Meanwhile, the rest of its body was smashed, planted deeply into the floor.

(-_-)

Chiyou shook her head wryly.

"As expected of the Grandmaster. This much is nothing for him."

Dorian stared at Chan-ki's situation with an expressionless face before opening another door and dragging the creature into the formation space.

Wow!

Even though they knew Dorian was strong, seeing him drag a creature 6 times his size was still awe-striking.

(+0+)

.

"Enough practice... You did good."

"Yes, Grandmaster!" Chan-ki beamed with a mightily proud expression on his face.

Now he understood Butler Sheng's joy when receiving praises from Dorian.

Hahahahahha~

He felt as though he were on top of the world!

Chan-ki dusted off a couple of maggots on his shoulders, trying not to puke, lest he ruin his heroic person before the Grandmaster and everyone else.

With a simple flick of his wrist, Dorian levitated the box into the formation.

Alright. It was time to properly exorcise and send these underworld entities away, but not before returning what belonged to Miss Chiyou.
