"But… but suddenly, he vanished from my grip."
[A few minutes ago]
The shadow demon grabbed onto Damien's leg once again and then dropped straight inside his shadow portal.
Unlike before, Damien neither had time to react nor had the strength to try and resist the pull from below.
And before he could do anything to protect himself from falling, Damien was five feet under the gooey shadow. Everything around him was dark and cold. He felt his whole body freezing and then going numb.
Damien was feeling as though he was being swallowed whole by some predator with paralyzing ability.
Even though he could barely feel his arms, he was still tightly grabbing onto that deer plushy fearing that he would lose it again in that dark abyss.
And before his mind also succumbed to the effects of that shadow portal, the last thought that came to his mind was, "Ariel."
