'Does it not work?' Jack thought worriedly.
Arlcard suddenly made a loud howl. His howl was piercing and deafening. Jack had to move away from him while clutching his ears.
"Ungrateful whelp! I will unmake you!" Aubelard exclaimed as he shot at Arlcard. His Demon Hand's duration had ended. His hands had reverted to their original sizes. But his current hands didn't look less intimidating. His fingers elongated to a sharp claw and were currently about to crush Arlcard's head.
Before it hit though, Arlcard's hand suddenly moved and caught Aubelard's arm. Aubelard tried to pull his arm away but failed. Arlcard had stopped howling and was now staring at Aubelard with very different eyes. His eyes were completely black. The skin on his face also appeared slightly rough.
"He didn't change into a giant bat-face, that should be a good sign, right?" Jack mumbled.
"It is, try inspecting him," Peniel said.
