Chapter 139 - Target On The Run!

~Swish!

The green slippery goo flew towards the paper speedily.

But maybe the most confusing scene was that of the head guard fighting for survival. 

With the Talisman paper calling all gooey parts, the Head guard spun around mercilessly. 

First, the 'vacuum' took off whatever was on his front. Then, he felt himself getting turned around with his butt facing Dorian's side instead.

Goddammit! 

He was turned to the sides, forced to the floor with some good flying out of his hostile, and so on.

Lying trough. Even the force he felt after he got 'cleansed' quickly caused him to roll on the floor dramatically. 

And with all honestly, the entire scene looked as though he was getting beaten up by some invisible man.

The guard had never felt so humiliated in his life. On the bright side, I guess he was clean now.

The Guard finally smashed himself onto a nearby crate and touched his chest and body dramatically, as though checking if he hadn't lost any limbs drying the spiritual battle he just had.

Laugh all you want. But he wasn't taking any chances. 

~Pff~~

Smack!

Ghu Dwo smacked the back of Sota's head lightly. 

"Hey, dad... What did you do that for?"

Tch!

Ghu Dwo's lips twisted, and his eyes flickered with the feeling of helplessness within them.

How the hell did he end up with this idiot for a son? He was lucky he loved him, or he wouldn't mind shipping him away without delay!

Laugh at Your elders to their faces? Where did he learn such bad manners from?

Even if you wanted to do it, don't you know that discretion is the key here? That's how people make more enemies for themselves. 

Sigh... His son's brain was filled with wallpaper paste. 

.

~Swish!

Everything got sucked into the paper, creating a very cool scene that left many people's mouths hung wide open.

How can all this enter that flat paper?

Now, many built up the courage to step out of their hiding spots after seeing the paths and crates getting cleaned up. 

And soon enough, clean-time was over.

Tut.

Without wasting any more time, Dorian calmly threw the paper onto the lady in green and exorcised them both in a blink of an eye. 

Following that, he also released the numb staff workers from their predicaments. 

Plop.

"Ooooo~~... Thank you, thank you..."

Many were quick to get on their knees and cry in gratitude for being a survivor.

Tonight had undoubtedly left a psychological shadow on them. 

They watched 4 of their friends and coworkers get brutally killed and feared by these women. And the scariest thing of all was that they could move, no matter how they tried. The ladies seemed to produce a gas that timed them that way. 

Like so, they could only pray for someone to rescue them. Fortunately, the heavens heard their cross and sent the saviour to them. 

That's right. If such things existed, then the notion about the heavens had to be real too.

.

~Oooooo~

Tears and snot flowed out from the staff. Luckily, they weren't marked or anything of that sort. So the only thing they had to worry about was their mental health.

After all, going through such a situation would undoubtedly shake many to the core.

And just as Dorian and everyone had guessed, these people were already thinking about getting their very high-paid jobs. Some decided never to two out of their times again.

But Dorian's words allowed them to grasp onto despair and hope, all at once.

Their faces turned ashen. "Grandmaster... So you're saying that even in our homes, we may still get slain one day?"

What the hell? If that's the case, then it won't matter whether they quit, move to a secluded move or cabin and stay one all their lives. The key point is that wherever they were, there was always a possibility of getting attacked by such things.

Bottom line, if it's your day, it's your day. If it's fate, it's fate. Of course, there was always a way to ensure one's safety, which made many breathe out in relief.

In this life, nothing was ever certain.

Just because you can die from a car accident doesn't mean that you should never drive a vehicle again in this life. No.

One should be looking for security measures instead. 

.

"Evil-Repellant Talismans... Come to my working stall at this location. There, I'll sell you some Evil-repellant talismans."

Ding!

Everyone's eyes lit up like torches. 

"Grandmaster. Can these things called Talismans be worn on our body at all times?"

"Hmhm..." Dorian replied calmly. 

It wasn't long that he bought a lot of medicinal herbs, as well as some stones too. Well, he went stone gambling and got some good rocks from there.

That said, he could attack strings and turn them into pendants. Of course, carved wooden beads and several other objects would be perfect for such things. 

Getting the confirmation they needed, everyone's heart finally relaxed. 

Tomorrow, they must get a talisman no matter the cost! 

F***!

Tonight's operation was too scary for them.

As for the Ghus, Gias and the Hous, they too had their hearts firmed up to buy as many Talismans for their family members. 

After all, no one would like to be targeted and helpless against these damn creatures.

[Host, you're running out of time.]

'Hmm...' He responded.

Of course, he knew what the system was worried about.

Since the Shadows got exorcised, the Manti should start weakening slowly. And after a while, he should realize what that means.

"We're not done yet."

"Yes!" The Ghus, Gias and Hous exclaimed. 

That's right. They still had that big guy lurking within the Auction arena.

With bold and heavy steps, they speedily took off.

And as they ran, the head security guard promptly contacted those in the Control room.

"Situation."

[Sir, we have eyes on the target. But something seems wrong with him.]

Instantly, everyone's face sank.

"Speak, man! What do you mean?"

[Sir, it might sound weird, but the target looks as though he's about to faint ]

"_"

Eh? Everyone thought they didn't hear things right. But before they could grasp the destination at hand, the following words from the person on the other side struck them hard like lightning.

[Sir! Sir! Quick.... He's trying to leave the Arena! Sir! The target is now on the run!!]
