“Fascinating. A demonic beast that talks.”

Henry was undoubtedly surprised. Such a demonic beast had never been heard of before.

“What are you? You’re not a doppelganger or something lame like that, are you?” Henry asked as he held out his left hand.

Swoooosh!

A strong gust of wind blew through his outstretched fingertips. Physical attacks did not work on a being with a non-physical form; thus Henry deliberately chose to use magic. Black was also left bewildered.

“M-magic?” stammered Black.

“See ya.”

Pop!

The compressed air rapidly expanded, sending a powerful shockwave toward Black. However…

“You dodged it?”

Black had managed to dodge Henry’s attack. No, rather than a dodge, it looked more like a section of its body was a cloud that had floated away from the attack.

“Eeeek!”

Only when about half of its body had been blown away did Black realize the seriousness of the situation. It immediately chose to run away; it knew better than to retaliate against a foe like Henry. It floated through the air and flew away speedily, a simple escape tactic.

“Try as you might, you aren’t getting away.”

Even as Black flew further away, Henry seemed to be in no rush. Instead, he softly cast another spell as he watched Black grow smaller and smaller in his vision.

“Return to Body.”

Sss...
