Memory of the Forgetful Demon

The flames covering Eiro's body slowly simply stopped feeding on the Demon's flesh. For a moment, it was like Eiro's very own time stopped for a little while, before it started moving in reverse.

Nelli was forced out of Eiro's body, with deep wounds all over her body from suffering together with Eiro, and the Demon himself slowly started to recover. It was as if everything that just happened to the Demon was slowly being undone in reverse order of how it happened to him in the first place. It was like the flames were returning flesh to Eiro's body, and instead of spreading out and growing, they were slowly shrinking and disappearing.

Suddenly, the Demon's body jolted up as the ash that had fallen off his body before returned to him. Instead of causing it to crumble, the fact that Eiro grasped his face now caused it to be rebuilt. He slowly moved around backward as his wooden hand slowly was rebuilt.
