Staring at a Mirror*

Unbeknownst to the demon, a humanoid figure was slowly forming beneath the dense cluster of feathers. 

Thus when he launched an attack for the second time, his neck was directly caught by a strong and beautiful hand, while the other was placed lightly on his right arm, blocking his advance. 

"Ugh!" In an instant, searing pain surged from their point of contact. A sizzling sound akin to burned meat echoed as the demon felt his dark, evil energy being purified bit by bit. His eyes widened in boundless horror, vacant and unseeing, and his mouth parted in a silent scream. 

It hurt… it hurt so much!
