Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Royalty their ass!

Everyone stood around the raging vampire pinned to the ground in a circle.

Kuh-Kach!

The wooden box not far away opened, scaring the living daylight out of Payne and the rest. For a moment, they thought it was another enemy coming at them.

They held their chest to steady their breathing, looking at the floating book with dropped jaws.

Ah!-

Forget it.

They had watched the blockbuster matter with several magical weapons. So what was shocking if these people could make a book levitate?

Everyone adjusted their mentalities, looking at the ceremony with widened eyes, though they dared not look at the creature lest they keep puking.

They watched all 7 people move their hands strangely while chanting absurd words.

"Shw Shw Shw Shw Shw Shw Shw Shw Shw~."

The people picked up the pace, and an explosive air swirled across the room. Only this one didn't make them fly.

It was still fierce but never attacked them.

As Ghu Sota worked, he was inwardly shocked by what he saw.

Tiny chains fell from the heavens, slowly wrapping themselves in the Vampire's waist, wrists, ankles, knees, neck, and even his forehead.

'It looks like only we can see it.' Ghu Sota thought.

So was this what the Grandmaster saw when extinguishing the many underworld beings earlier?

One would have to see it, to believe it.

He felt the world of exorcism was too magical.

The aura from the heavens exploded within the space, showing its might the more they chanted.

To Payne and the rest, the strange world was like a breath of fresh air, sweeping away the musty, sulphuric, and dead smell that kept them gasping.

The air immediately became cleaner, and the gloominess also diminished bit by bit. They could feel the change.

And looking around, one could see that the mold covering the furniture and walls was also peeling out, revealing the clean layer it originally covered, though some parts looked as though termites or some bugs had nibbled its fine lectures.

For the few marble fixtures, they now looked as though someone poured acid to burn their exterior.

All in all, the mold was home, leaving the place in this state.

This was how ordinary people saw it. But for Ghu Sota, the experiment was different.

He saw the purple mist and strange big on the 'mold' get sucked and forcefully sent into Zar's body.

It happened in a blink of an eye, with Zar looking a little plumper than before.

Ghu sota sped up his hand work, no longer distracting himself.

This stage was a crucial part.

One wrong step could undo a lot.

He closed his eyes and began changing, though slower than Bewoh. Everyone was in their heads, chanting the words as accurately as they could.

And just then, Zar felt an immeasurable pain flood his body via the chains.

What's happening? What's happening to him?

Ahhhh!!!~

Zar showed fear for the first time.

His body...

His insides were in an eternal game of holy fire that flew into all channels in his body.

Ahhhhhh~

Payne and the others felt their hearts thud wildly, sweat now covering their entire beings.

They quickly place their hands on their ears, with some dropping to the floor and 2 others fainting from the sonic impact.

What??!

Payne's face with ruby head, with the little fat on his cheeks jumping crazily.

No... Make it stop!!!!

Their eardrums threatened to explode, and their heads grew dizzier by the second.

Dammit!

Payne refused to go down on both knees, only allowing one knee to touch the ground while pulling himself up with the other.

He knew what this bastard thing was trying to do.

It didn't want to go down without one of them dying!!!

It would have succeeded, if not for Bewoh throwing a silver coin in its mouth.

Sure enough, being with the grandmaster for so long, he had also picked up a few habits.

"Why are you so noisy?"

Can't you see we're trying to do an exorcism here?

"_"

"That's better... Cry in silence."

"_"

...

Zar felt aggrieved. He wanted to scream and kill them all, but the talisman coin in his mouth was really hateful.

Why would these people make a coin that silenced others?

Before now, Bewoh also thought the Grandmaster might be a little too much in making so many 'Silent' coins.

But now, he couldn't wait to commend Dorian for his farsightedness.

It was annoying listening to this guy's voice when trying to teach the disciples the right way to exorcize an underworld being.

This was their first time doing it. So of course he had to guide them right. However, Zar's annoying voice kept disrupting his lecture now and then.

...

Zar had no tears but wanted to cry.

Despicable humans! Vile weeds!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh~~~

The fire within was killing him. And soon, Payne saw his body break down and turn into ashes.

The ashes then mysteriously caught on fire and burned into nothingness, vanishing without a trace, only leaving his desperate cries behind.

No one lived a muscle after his disappearance, even though the evil had finally been killed.

But what Payne and the rest didn't know was that after Zar's body was disintegrated, his underworld soul was still there, held by those golden chains.

It screamed helplessly as the chains moved like snakes, curling around Zar tightly.

You have to know that what underworld beings learned of exorcism was that they would get killed, getting judged as underworld beings.

For them, if they get killed by another underworld being, they can go back into the underworld.

But once caught by the heavens for escaping the underworld and raising havoc in the human realms, you best believe their judgment was a whole lot harsher than any human could imagine.

And after punishment, the reincarnation cycle begins, maybe reincarnating as a stone for a million years, followed by another series of inanimate object reincarnation over and over and over again.

The cycle wasn't easy, as theIr entire underworld essence had to be stripped clean. Memories gone, powers removed, and other aspects taken away.

No one told him, Zar, it would be this painful. He felt he had never experienced such anguish in his life!

Heavenly aura opposed beings like himself.

So what do you expect when his underworld soul was held captive with pure chains of the Gods themselves?

No exorcist could have these powers!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh~

Zar was screaming at the top of his lungs, but only Ghu Sota and the others could see him.

And soon, they watched the chains carry him up, up, and away.

Gone...

He was now gone.

.

"Is everyone alright?"

Bewoh's voice woke the tired Disciples.

Their faces were drained of color, their lips pale, and their foreheads sweaty.

The amount of focus, concentration, technique, and skill they used had left them numb.

Ghu Sota looked at his trembling hands taking in the moment and all its glories because even though he and the rest were dead tired, they all had smiles.

Hah... Hahahhahahahah~

They did it! They killed and exorcized their first monster!

Ghu Sota was so excited that he wanted to call his grandmother and brag.

It was funny to say that even at this moment, Sota hadn't realized Old madam Ghu was still the closet in his heart, staying on the I'm a line with his mother.

Is it over?

Vmmmm!

The formation was taken down, and Payne and the others slowly made their way toward Bewoh's group.

Uhmmmm~

Botan, in the corner, finally regained consciousness.

He remembered he was fighting with Bewoh... And then...

Bastard!!!

Botan spewed pent-up blood from his system, curing the despicable creature that had taken over his body earlier.

He said he wanted to become powerful, not to become a powerful puppet!

The 2 timing doublecrossing monster was good deceiving!

It was ironic that even though Botan regretted it, he still wanted to find another backer of that kind who wouldn't deceive him.

That's right.

He still wanted power! And if given another chance, he would do it all over again but smarter.

He sure as hell wouldn't have his body losing control to that minister like before.

Botan thought good. But who would give him the chance to do it all over?

Bewoh raised his hands coldly.

"Meleesium!"

Boom!

A golden light shone from above, falling on Botan's body.

What? Since when did they have candles lit around him?

His room... Why was it now in this state? And why was everyone looking as though they wanted to chew him raw?

Botan had no look of gratitude, thinking he got out of the situation by himself.

He would rather drink his own blood than accept that Bewoh saved him.

"What? Do you think you've won? Do you think I will ever bow to you? I hate you! I loathe you!... I---"

Boom!

Bewoh kicked his belly.

"Shut up, and accept Judgement!"

Botan Riverre... You'll get what's coming to you.
