Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Death stared at the couple in the face.

Their angles were freeze-burning, their bodies turned stiff into stone, and their chests knotting tightly.

Grwww~

The creature exclaimed excitedly, increasing his strength and speed when dragging them over.

Hahahhahaha~~~

Humans... Humans... It hated humans with a passion!

The couple stared at their impending doom, feeling their world coming to an end.

They shut their eyes in fear, knowing that their stone-stiff bodies couldn't move.

'Children... Please, be safe.'

Crack!

A part of the ceiling broke off, instantly crushing the shadow like a bug.

Bam!

The couple quivered, too scared to open their eyes.

However, the temptation was just too great.

Blink. Blink.

Who? When? How? You... Normal?

-Silence-

The couple swallowed their saliva, looking at the youngster, who seemed very normal.

You have to know that since coming in here, every person they saw looked like human-Frankenstein, with open slip wounds, All sorts of even body parts and so on.

That is, they saw someone with its left leg as fat as an ox and his right as thin as a baby's arm.

At times, even when the bodies were somewhat even, there would always be something else exaggerated about them, like their eyes that could take up half of their faces like an Owl.

That appearance was even scarier to them.

The youth before them was the first and only person they saw that looked human.

Of course, they were still very vigilant.

Who knew if it was a trap?

Again, the strange voice in their brain also kept telling them not to believe and kill Dorian before he killed them.

Confusing... Confusing... Too confusing!

However, what can they do?

Their bodies were still stone-stiff.

So even if the voice is right. What then?

.

Dorian stood on the fallen flooring that smashed the shadow, casually scrutinizing the victims.

Already, he saw the stiffness in them.

"Relax. I'm here to take you back to the mortal world."

Bubuum!

The couple's eyes widened in shock.

A part of them wanted to jubilate, prideful that the government had set someone to rescue them.

Of course, another part was doubtful because of Dorian's age.

... This wouldn't be a trap, right?

Moreover, they seemed to have seen the guy's doppelganger too.

Eh?

Both looked so clean, as though they were mortal twins.

However, the smile on the one in white made them shudder in fear.

This... Could it be that one of them was a monster?

['Host, you only have 4 more minutes in mirror world time!']

Dorian didn't allow them to speak, calmly flicking his wrist and placing their bodies on the flat surface he stood on.

Time to go!

~Swish!

Like a flying saucer, Dorian levitated the broken floor piece and flew high up amidst the attacking shadows.

.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Left, right, front, back, you, down... Many in close proximity, stretched as far as they could, swarming to the 3 mortals flying out.

It was as though they could smell the mortal scent because, for a moment, all shadows looked at him, wanting to attack viscously.

The scene had made them forget to look closer at the lead one standing.

And when they finally did, they quickly retracted and hid away in horror.

F***!

Wasn't that the boss Shadow's human counterpart?

Sure enough, seeing Dorian's Doppelganger lazily leaning in his giant fan and following behind them, many didn't dare to stretch closer.

~Swish!

Dorian moved like lightning, avoiding all falling structures.

Say no more.

He knew it should be his counterpart that was doing this.

Dorian squinted his eyes at the falling pieces, creating a circular force field around him.

How annoying.

Boom!

He flew straight out, allowing all objects to shatter above his forcefield.

And soon, he was back at the portal sight again.

~Grwrwrw~

The shadows who had long been docile after he left were once again tormenting their mortal counterparts through the portal.

Of course, the moment he came back, they turned into innocent babies, trying to look their cutest.

Too bad the obvious scars and deep axe-like wounds were just so hard to miss.

Not to talk of one who had its nose placed on its forehead instead.

(-_-)

.

"Look! Look! The Grandmaster is back! And he has the victims with him!"

Someone exclaimed, and everyone was smiling and cheering in relief at the sight of the trio's return.

Hahahhahahah~

"He did! He did! He really did it!"

Xiang Shore was so happy that he shook Donghai like crazy.

The cheerful atmosphere was contagious.

And even the couple who could see them from the mortal world all burst out in tears, finally believing that they would be rescued.

Just thinking about their suffering these last 5 days was enough to make them cry for a lifetime.

"Woooi~... We are finally back. We are--..."

Plop.

Dorian abruptly threw them past the portal.

No time!

['System, scan me will the moment I fully step into the mortal world.']

Though he was confident in his observation skills, his enemy was still himself.

So yeah... It was accurate to say that he didn't trust himself in this matter.

They were both smart, and this guy could slip something on him when he passed through the portal.

This, it wouldn't be bad to have an extra eye watching them both.

The system jumped, getting happy that its host finally saw its potential.

(^0^)

['Host! Don't worry! I will definitely keep an eye on this bad guy!... Ah-... Not that you are a bad guy how can my most be a bad guy?']

The system was panicking, thinking that since the host's shadow was still part of the host... Maybe the host will feel insulted, thinking it was calling him a bad guy instead.

Poor little system.

He just wanted the host to like and rely on him more.

Dorian's mind wasn't even on the system's thoughts.

[2 mirror minutes more.]

This meant that he only had a few more seconds in the mortal world to close things up!
