Terrence watched with narrowed eyes as the remaining demons froze mid-motion, then crumbled.
Their bodies simply came apart, dissolving into drifting particles of black ash that scattered like burnt code across the battlefield.
His Eternal Shadows paused.
The girls looked around, confused, adrenaline still buzzing through their veins, weapons half-raised as if expecting another wave.
Terrence though, was focused on something else entirely.
[Name:] Demon King Dio
[Classification:] The Tutorial
"The Tutorial"
So that meant this was all a..simulation?
"Clever-"
A womanly voice echoed through the existence.
Blinding, overwhelming radiance swallowed everything, forcing Terrence's eyes shut as reality itself washed out.
"T!"
"Terrence!"
"Master Terrence!"
He heard the girls shouting his name, their voices cutting through the light-
Then silence.
When Terrence opened his eyes again, he stood alone.
Surrounded by radiance.
