The Inferno Archmage Sastor had appeared before Link in person, stopping him in his murderous tracks at that moment.
His appearance had left everyone in the temple in a frenzy.
"Our almighty master has graced us with his presence once again!"
"You are the sun that warms my soul, almighty one!"
"Demon, you're in big trouble now!"
Some of them immediately knelt before Sastor, their mouths filled with praise for him. Others, emboldened by their master's arrival, began cursing at Link, as if Sastor's presence had lent them his invincibility.
Naturally, Link ignored them. The words of insects meant nothing to him. The power that he had absorbed from his victims was now overflowing out of him in the form of churning black smoke. Flashes of electricity appeared in it from time to time, giving him the appearance of a powerful demon from the pits of hell.
