The corrupted souls swarming around the mansion and attacking his comrades had been surrounded by the same perilous glow. It was as if they had been given additional strength. They were gliding faster and attacking more viciously.
Saji was still staring at Fighter as if deeply contemplating.
Tarius moved his hands faster to release more arrows and hit more corrupted souls.
