Chapter 17

Galen thought he would surely be torn apart by the demon. However, that wasn’t the case at all. Galen was flabbergasted when he felt a cocoon of warm magic enveloping him from behind, and it shielded him completely. The magic was so powerful, it shone brightly. Galen even had to cover his eyes with his hands because the light was blinding him. Then he was startled when the demon abruptly screeched as if it was in a state of severe pain. He risked peeking from behind his palms, and he noticed the demon escaping through the floor. In the next instant, the magic that protected him receded before it disappeared.
