The mentor had already spotted the half-demon, but pretended not to know, letting it lower its guard... How cunning!
No, no! Gelin, how could you think that of your own mentor? This half-demon is the truly cunning one. It actually turned into an ordinary wooden door. If I'd walked past it just now...
Gelin broke out in goosebumps all over.
Yet at that moment, a silver blade tip suddenly emerged from the center of the Gate of Flesh.
After extensive research, the Witch Hunters of this world had discovered that weapons alloyed with silver and specially refined were exceptionally effective against demonic creatures. Thus, they became standard equipment for every Witch Hunter.
Without hesitation, Felix pulled out several potion vials and hurled them over.
Crash!
The glass vials shattered against the ground, splashing a variety of colorful potions over the monster behind the door.
Amid the hissing white mist, black runes resembling chains emerged from the tip of the short blade and rapidly spread across the monster's entire body.
Its many eyes turned fearful and pained, while its chunks of flesh could barely squirm, as though it had suddenly lost the ability to move.
Seizing the chance, the pitch-black Anti-Magic Chains swiftly climbed upward and bound the entire door.
"Die, monster!"
Felix lit a match and tossed it onto the door, igniting the potions.
Whoosh!
Blazing flames surged up at once, engulfing the monster.
"It's purified..."
Gelin let out a long breath when she saw the relief on her mentor's face.
But in the next instant, a shrill voice came from within the flames. "No... I sacrificed everything, I only just gained power... You... you promised me... demon..."
"Monsters from the lower planes love tempting people of our world into corruption..."
Felix took the opportunity to give an on-site lesson.
