In the blink of an eye, the darkness vanished.
Along with that was Vernos' body slowly disintegrating. It was like seeing dandelions get swept up by a gentle wind.
Aectaeon had no feelings on the matter. He was focused on not falling to the ground after all.
Using the spear, he made sure to pull his weight to land lightly. Since his eyes were suddenly assaulted by the bright surroundings, he felt dizzy for a moment. It made him stumble once he was on the ground, even the spear couldn't keep him in place.
He soon fell on his rear with a thud, the spear following suit.
After a few seconds of letting the pain subside, Aectaeon cleared his vision and looked around.
"Oh, I'm back on the train?" Aectaeon muttered to himself as he picked up the spear, "The Demons are still here, but the battle is over, isn't it?"
At that moment, his attention went back to Vernos. He could see that the light in the man's eyes had returned.
