Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

So soon?

Though regretful, everyone knew their time was up.

4 minutes... That's all they got.

To them, it was indeed too small. But for many who know Dorian, knew his patience was almost thinning out.

"Because you were already halfway through the devouring stage, their souls have been greatly affected."

Dorian's words made the ghostly souls smile bitterly. They indeed realized that their ghostly forms were far different and more fragile than it initially was upon death.

And even after Chan-ki had reverted some of their essences to them, it still left cracks over their ghostly bodies.

Looking at things, even this powerful master might not be able to fix things up for them.

In that case, what do they do?

Forum rested his chin on his face thoughtfully. "It's indeed unfortunate. But for this matter, you need not worry much. The heavens will find a way to do things for you before sending you on your way for judgment and later reincarnation."

Judgment? Reincarnation? So such things really exist?

Everyone in the town was still in a daze, listening in on the conversation between Dorian and the ghostly beings.

It was evident that today had been a real eye-opener for them, with many planning to take their first steps into the vortex of change.

Upon hearing about Judgment, the costly beings seemed very scared.

How exactly would they be judged? Many who had guilty confidence were very about the fate that awaited them upon leaving.

But Dorian didn't give them any more time to think any further.

Lifting his finger, he began drawing a sizable golden lightning ring in the air.

.

"With your bodies, the longer you stay here in the mortal world, the more features will get tempted to devour you... So, are you ready?"

The ghosts nodded fearfully, thinking that it was better to go to the heavens than to get devoured by some wicked creature.

And maybe because they were in a group, they felt a little stronger, thinking they would face the heavens together, not knowing the heavens would access their situations separately.

Hmmm...

Seeing them like this, Dorian nodded in satisfaction.

It would be better if they decided to leave without causing any trouble. As per protocol, even the ghosts needed to be asked if they wanted to ascend or not.

There was a difference between willingly ascending and forcefully ascending. Obviously, the former was a better option and would be taken into account by the heavens.

But if they had refused to go, Dorian would need to forcefully bundle and drag them off to ascension.

Clearly, one could see which option would be best.

Only babies were exempt from this since it didn't matter if one asked a baby or dragged it away. It was a baby with almost no way of understanding anything. So the heavens would never judge babies.

For this matter, they would first get sent to reconstruct their souls, skipping judgment and heading straight for reincarnation.

Looking at the golden lightning ring floating mid-air, Dorian flicked his fingers, and the ring began moving towards the crowd of ghostly beings.

And as it moved, it continuously expanded in size until it covered the entire room.

Only ghostly beings could be affected by the ring.

F***!

What sort of fictional blockbuster was this?

Everyone had their jaws hung wide open, staring at their loved ones vanish whenever the lightning ring passed them by.

Gone.

Their loved ones were no longer here.

For a moment, everyone didn't know how to react.

Could they say, all's well that ends well?

(°_°)

.

Like so, the group finally left the gloomy space, ascending the stingy walls.

Like stated earlier, this place was indeed a town bunker and refuge center used in ancient towns to keep them safe when enemies attacked.

They also used to be a secret door somewhere in this space, leading to the roads below, High Peak town.

But ever since discovering criminals, thieves, and all sorts of crooks using the passage, the town unanimously decided to destroy the hidden passageway by filling it up with soil and rock, all the way down towards its end at the roads below.

Stepping out of the building, many felt scarred, instinctively feeling that whether it's to clean up the weeds growing on the tombstones or place flowers for their long-deceased families, they might not come over here for a long, long, very long time.

It was still the wee early hours of the morning (4 A.M). Thus, the paces were still very dark.

But even at this, many could still see the town's beauty, thanks to the ever bright moonlight tonight.

"The fog is gone!!!"

Someone exclaimed, with sheet joy, finally putting their last bits of worry behind.

Phew.

Even when they left that space alongside Dorian, a part of them was still worried that things might not be truly over.

Raymore took several steps toward Dorian and Chan-ki, giving a deep bow to him.

"Sir... For coming to our aid and sending our loved ones above... On behalf of the High Peak Town, thank you both!"

Raymore's words made everyone follow his actions, also giving Chan-ki and Dorian deep bows.

Their sincere gratitude was even more evident the more they thought of what would've been their fates if the duo didn't arrive tonight.

"It's okay... Rise." Dorian spoke, waving his hand nonchalantly. But Raymore didn't think it was enough.

"Sir... Please, allow the town to give you compensation for your brave actions tonight."

.

Raymore was both grateful and mindful, thinking on the lines of business and safety. Should such a thing happen again, who are they going to call? Of course, the duo!

That's why he thought of building a good relationship with either one of the 2.

Compensation?

Dorian raised his brow slyly. "About that... Since I saved an entire town, the responsibility falls on the government and not you all... However, if it's the matter of your bodily defects from close contact with these kinds, then that's a whole different matter all on its own... But first, I think it's time we greet our guests."
