Chapter 208 - The Aftermath

Haru and Bewoh gritted their teeth, feeling the strength from the spell. 

Powerful. Powerful. 

Their bodies and cheeks danced and quivered the longer they chanted.

If they knew that this was a low-tier grade 1 spell, they wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Haru handled one creature, and Bewoh was handling another. 

"Shwshwshwshwshhswhshw!"

Grrrwww~~~~

Before everyone's eyes, the creatures twitched and wailed horribly, causing many to place their hands over their ears and shriek back. 

I'll be damned! 

Their eardrums were ringing and banging in their heads. But for some reason, they couldn't take their eyes off the scene. 

It was as though each of its structural cells had fought into a bright-light flame, dispensing from their toe upwards.

First, they disappeared and vanished, followed by their thighs, belly, chest, hands... Until all that was left was a floating head. 

The creatures became even more troubled because they had one of their hearts at the back of their heads. 

If they could escape me, they would be able to generate later.

However, how could it be that cheap for them?

Haru and Bewoh were almost out of breath.

The more parts of the creature they destroyed, the heavier the spell's pressure on them.

They were only new to cultivation and hadn't broken their mortal shells yet, though it should be another day or 2 before they did. 

Before the academy opened its doors, their task was to break through and study hard during these next 3 weeks and a few days or so because they would be teachers too. Though only teaching the most minimal of things. 

They had to power up fast to always be by the Grandmaster's side. 

They were near the peak performance of human essence. 

At least with the aid of the path they took, they could rely on it to do the spell. 

This was one of the lowest exorcism spells ever. And they were having such a hard time, almost fainting and going into a coma. 

They knew that the Grandmaster would step in if they couldn't. But they didn't want to give up so easily. 

.

No! 

The duo narrowed their eyes amidst their stinging beads of sweat. 

'I can do this! I can do this!'

'Shwhswhshwshswhswhshws!!!!!!~~.'

They pushed and pushed through, not caring about the seeping creatures. 

Go to hell! 

Boom! 

Dorian saw the holy chains around the creatures add another layer, similar to a single strand of hair. 

Now, the chains were akin to 2 strands of hair intertwined with one another. 

Though very faint and near-fading, he was sure it should be enough to deal with measly creatures... That is, they weren't even the boss. 

They were just shells. 

1, 2, 3... The floating heads began to vanish very slowly.

~Puff! 

The duo had performed their first exorcism. 

Bang! 

Haru and Bewoh slumped to the formation walls, trying to catch their breath. 

[Circulate your qi.]

Ding. 

Their eyes shot open like bulbs, hurrying to practice breathing exercises, as well as see practice their cultivation. 

Dorian withdrew the formation, leaving them to sit crossed feet on the ground.

Eh? 

The duo frowned, seemingly dissatisfied.

Why was the qi here so frail and almost none existent? 

It was too terrible. 

Trying to gather qi here was akin to them trying to catch a single strand of hair in a tornado or windy storm. 

Do you call this an MSS office?

Augh~

Already, they missed the space back at the estate. 

No wonder the Grandmaster told them to focus on circulating their qi. 

Gathering anything here was just so hard! 

Forget it. 

The duo relaxed their brows, closed their eyes, and concentrated on the task at hand... While Dorian focused on the couple instead. 

.

Mia and Endo stared at the young boy with awe and reverence in their eyes. 

The thing was that they didn't even know how to address him at all. 

Luckily, Xiang Shore, Donghai, Leah, and everyone else has rushed over to check their situation... Especially the forensic pathologists.

"Ma'am, sir... How are you? Do you feel lightheaded? Need food? Water?"

The red-haired Ryu Quinn was almost going crazy from all he saw. 

As one of the chief forensic pathologists in the area, they sent those bizarre corpses under his care since many couldn't understand what exactly was going on with them. 

F***! 

Today has been the scariest day of his life! 

He not only questioned his sanity but also grew a deep sense of fear for cursors for the first time in a long while. 

Dammit! 

If he ever saw any strange corpses, he wouldn't dare to touch them again. 

What was this youngster's name again? Grandmaster! And where could he find him? Though he didn't know, he decided to call up Xiang Shore whenever such a situation occurred. 

Lying trough. Didn't you see his counterpart looking at him viciously, as though waiting for an opportunity to strike? 

Who knew if the corpse would somehow push him into the mirror and make his doppelganger escape? 

Okay, okay... Maybe he was stretching it a tad bit too far. 

But after all, he saw, it wasn't like it was impossible. 

.

Ryu Quinn's messy red hair dangled over his face the more he darted his eyes maniacally at the couple.

"That's enough, Ryu. They need some space." Xiang Shore said, yanking the famous corpse-crazed man behind.

"Enough!... Everyone, give them space... The Grandmaster isn't done yet."

'Grandmaster...'

The couple secretly noted the name in their hearts. 

"Thank you, Grandmaster! Thank you for all you've done!" The couple exclaimed, bowing as deep as they could. 

The dangerous wave of hunger and the tightness of their bellies and legs made it feel like torture to kneel or kowtow. 

If not, they would've done so. 

They just hoped that tge Grandmaster wouldn't feel that their gratitude was insulting. 

However, looking at Dorian's expression, they knew they thought too much. 

They breathe a sigh of relief, liking the youngster even more.

Though he didn't have a smile on or look approachable, his heart was in the right place. 

"Please, sit."

Dorian said, flicking his wrist. 

And again, a few broken chairs flew by. 

Following that, Donghai's upside-down and broken desk in a far corner, also floated towards them. 

Well, the couple wasn't that shocked by the youngster's magical abilities anymore.

After all, he floated them out of the mirror world, no?

Dorian took a seat, and the couple also sat as well. 

Everyone except for Haru and Bewoh surrounded them with inquisitive expressions.

What could the Grandmaster have to say that required them to take a seat?
