15 Level Ten Exorcis (1/2)
Haru drew his jacket back and pulled out ten knives, each of the knives had a sliver of paper attached to them that had a rune drawn onto the paper. In an instant he threw the knives out, not hitting any of the ghosts that were surging towards us like a tsunami.
The knives drifted through the air flower petals in the wind, they found a home in the walls and on the floor, forming a circular pattern. A burning light appeared and a crackling sensation crept into the air.
”May the light of a thousand stars burn away the regret and misery that plagued you in this world. The world that awaits you next is one of solace and tranquility, where the past pains and regrets wouldn't bother you. In the name of the sun and her holy light, I cleanse you of your transgression.” His voice was like a looming storm cloud, that was strong and could set fire to a forest.
The burning funnel of light grew in intensity, it burned like it was its own miniature sun. A sweltering inferno of heat seeped into the surrounding area, bathing my body in the warmth. It felt like I was sitting underneath the sun, it was comforting yet painful at the same time.
As the center of the now blazing sun like star took shape, the sheets of paper attached to the knives began to glow an shimmering shade of blue. The blue from the paper began to bleed into the golden sun, turning the flames that had accumulated around the center of it into raging blue flames.
The heat began to turn into a lukewarm and then to a frigid sensation, as the color shifted to the dazzling blue that now looked like water. It danced as if it was made of liquid, the burning bright golden centered had dimmed and looked like it was a watery heart, it pulsed with a light.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
”Consume and Purify those that have lost their light.” Haru's voice rang out again and the watery substance began to wiggle and twist and turn. It's body of water spreading out into a thin layer of skin and then it expanded.
The watery substance shot out like tentacles, its enclosed around some of the ghost, they struggled but couldn't free themselves as they were caught. Other times the tentacles pierced through the ghost and began to devour them that way.
All of this transpired in a matter of seconds, the tidal waves of ghost began to shrink and the wretched scream also started to vanish into nothing.
I moved forward, moving away from the door and towards Haru. He looked emotionless as he watched the ghost being devoured by his magic. It was like watching a King looking on as if he was slaughter the scum of the earth. However, a stray tear left his eye, he didn't bother raising a hand to wipe it away.
A crisp clap echoed in the air after the last ghost was being consumed, the blue of the water was now inky black as if it was contaminated. As if it was possed, the black liquid fled back into the sheets of paper, the rune on the paper glowing a burning gold as the paper turned completely black.
”Amen,” he spoke softly clasping his hand together as if he was giving thanks. His face had softened, what a strange fellow, he was tense up till a second ago. Now he looked as peaceful as water. Stepping forward, he goes and collects the knives that he had thrown.
He plucked the strips of paper, that were now black and pocketed them into a different pocket, storing the knives he walked back towards me.
