Chapter 22 - Newbie Exorcist

~Boom.

A defending noise echoed out, and before the demon granny knew it, her enormous right hand had been completely destroyed, turning it into mush.

"Ahhhhh~~~."

She exclaimed in both pain and rage as she saw mushy bits and pieces of her rotting demonic hand scattered around.

The other demons who thought Granny demon would be enough to take care of the exorcist, were shocked to see the damage she received.

What was this?

How come this move was stronger than the previous one?

Could it be that this guy wasn't a newbie exorcist?

They looked at each other for a bit more, before the Demon Kolrad, who was the old guy with the beach-looking sandals and shorts… calmly stepped forward and wasted no time taking action.

To him, Dorian had just been lucky earlier when he sneak attacked Granny demon while she spoke.

What a despicable trick! … not that he was mad at it. To them as demons, sneak attacks were acceptable.

So to him, Dorian's luck had now been completely drained!

Thinking like this, Kolrad was even bolder than ever.

~Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.

He speeded up for a bit before jumping in the air with his wings flapping around: "Exorcist brat! Why don't you taste my Acid bursts?

Dorian squinted his eyes and rolled to the side as a load of hot, white acid fluids sprayed out of Kolrad's mouth.

~Baahhhh!

~Shahhh!

The floor sizzled, creating hot bubbles on the black melting ground.

This fact alone made the hearts of those watching skip a bit.

They started shaking and grabbing each other while watching in fear, as there were times that the fluid could've touched Dorian.

Oh my God!

Their little hearts can't take this much, okay?

Countless people bit their nails while watching Dorian rolling and running, avoiding acid shots here and there.

Was he going to be alright?

The people worried about him because to them, it looked like he would lose pretty soon.

But unbeknownst to them, the protagonist hadn't even broken a sweat at all.

Dorian's eyes gleamed with a murderous light as he leaped into the air, making his way towards Kolrad, who in turn threw more acid at him.

~Bah! Bah! Bah!

~Swoosh. Swoosh. Swoosh.

Dorian gracefully dodged it all, moving from side to side.

And as before Kolrad could blink, Dorian had already thrown a talisman paper at him again.

~Bam!

The mighty Kolrad crashed into the ground with a massive hole in his belly.

F***!

Kolrad was in agony when he realized that one of his hearts had been destroyed.

Instantly, the expressions of the other demons turned grim.

They were done playing with this exorcist.

.

Beeldomad bared his fangs at the Dorian coldly: "Everyone, attack together! I don't believe he will be able to drop us all!"

The other demons nodded before elongating their claws and fangs.

This guy was truly courting death, and they didn't mind giving it to him!

~Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.

Like lightning, they speeded up to their target murderously.

And when they were close enough to him, their faces showed a crazed victorious expression as they stretched their claws all at once.

'Bastard! Don't blame us for being cruel!

How dare you stand in our way?'

"Die, Exorcist!

Die!"

~Swhooo!

The air whistled as the many demon hands descended onto their prey.

And at this moment, time seemed to have frozen up.

Dorian lifted his head and grinned.

~Swish!

He vanished.

~Bam!

What??

Where did he go?

Their hands slammed onto the empty field rather than their targets, which made their faces ashen.

What was this they were feeling?

W-was this fear?

Dorian had long jumped high in the air, took out a Talisman paper and activated it.

And just then, something magical happened.

~Wsh!

The small paper glowed a strange blue light, almost as if it were bluish flames.

Dorian then passed 2 fingers past the paper, before elongating his hand towards his left.

And as his hands moved, a bluish flaming image of a sword seemed to have been formed from the paper.

The system who saw this was surprised.

Wasn't this The Holy Exorcist Sword Technique? Wasn't that the Sword Flame of Erosion skill?

How could its host do it at his level?

~Brrrrr!!

The flames burned violently on the transparent sword as Dorian gripped it in satisfaction.

All this happened in a split second, and by the time the demons realized that they hadn't squashed or ripped apart their prey, Dorian was ready to begin his reign of chaos.

"Where the hell is he? Where the hell did he go?"

The demons looked left and right but didn't see his figure anywhere.

But of course, they didn't have to wait for too long because in the next second, Dorian descended from above, landing right at their center.

He brandished his flaming sword with a cold smile on his face: "Let's begin, shall we?"

The demons looked at Dorian's sword and couldn't help taking a step back in horror.

This... This...

This can't be!

No! Why would this appear in this world? 

They looked at Dorian's mysterious smile, as well eyes that seemed like a bottomless pit, and a stab of panic in their gut.

No! They had to get out of here!

They had to get out of here now!

Those in the audience watching this were even more baffled and confused when they saw the demons scattering away.

Was it just them, or did it seem like those demons were running for their lives?

They couldn't help staring at Dorian with an unfathomable gaze.

A man that could make demons flee. 

What sort of person was he?

.

The demons on the other hand, were prepared to make a run for it.

Katrina looked at the injured granny grimly: " Who is he? Since when did exorcist's like this exist in this world?"

Granny demon couldn't go nodding sternly: "I know. This is bad. We have to tell the Lord Bortho fast. His presence might destroy the Ultimate Plan. No matter what. This world must be ours!"

"Yes. We have to tell Lord Bortho. Only he can communicate with the bigger and higher ranked Lords of the Underworld. The Demon King has to be made aware of this! But now, we have to escape, fast!"

The demons who had made up their minds to flee, suddenly found themselves on the ground instead.

~Tung.

They smashed into a pinkish wall, or rather, a formation of sorts.

That's right.

When Dorian had vanished into the air, he casually threw a few stones around which seemed like nothing.

But in fact, he had been training these people here all along.

How could he let his Exorcist Points run away like this?

He thought his first kill would be ghosts or even lower entities that would give him a few points to rank up.

But his luck was truly good. And he came across newly named Demons.

The points were high!

.

Dorian looked at them scattering around and gave a low but eerie laugh: "Hahahahah! And where do you think you're going? Come now. The fun has just begun. So why the rush?"

Everyone Demon's face turned solemn and pale when they felt Dorian's full aura released.

From then on, those who were watching the show couldn't describe their mood.

They couldn't feel anything from Dorian and couldn't hear whatever was said there.

All they could do was watch the most gruesome show they had ever seen, with Dorian cruelly playing with the demons, giving them hell!

It was ironic because the demons were already from hell, yet it looked like Dorian was the real monster instead.

And it was at this moment that everyone subconsciously came to one conclusion:

No matter what happens in the future, they must never provoke this man!

The system that was of the same opinion as the group of humans, also shivered as well.

What the hell kind of host had he contracted?

~Slash! Bam! Boom! Slash!

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!!"

The pitiful demons cowered in fear the closer the Devil before them approached.

"Y-You are not normal!"

"Monster. Devil! Devil!"

Dorian looked at them expressionlessly and moved his sword once more: "Devil? Sorry... I'm just one Extraordinary Exorcist."

~Slash!
