But God Forced Me to Reincarnate!

Seal

After walking for a bit more, they arrived in front of an ancient-looking door. Two shoddy pillars were standing at the side of the door. Two similar statues were on top of the pillars. They statues were of creatures that seemed to be a mixture of fox and dog. The upper half of their heads were covered by something like a mask.

"Master, we've found it?!!" Candice let out her voice in surprise and excitement.

"Right. This is it. Behind that door."

"Let's open it quickly and remove the seal—"

"Not that fast," The young boy shook his head as he gestured to Candice to look at the two statues.

Sure enough, the two statues suddenly moved—their rock-like bodies suddenly turned alive, revealing the holy beasts they were. One of them had a very sharp and long blade as its tail, while the other one had sharp long canines and claws.

"Let's remove the security system first," the young boy jumped as the black shadow swirled out of his body. The black shadow enveloped the young boy, it seemed to be helping him float. The black shadow then revealed a humanoid shape—a figure that seemed like a female with its long hair and red crescent-shaped eyes.

Since her master was taking on the holy beast with the sharp canines and claws, Candice immediately positioned herself in front of the other statue.

The two beasts growled before their warning voice resounded.

[Intruder alert. You shall not enter this place. Should you wish to do so, you should first defeat us.]

"Challenge accepted," the young boy casually said as he launched the first attack. Or rather, the black shadow was the one who attacked on his behalf. The black shadow extended what seemed to be her hand to attack. As it drew closer to its target, it formed a sharp blade.

The holy beast dodged the attack and bit its sharp teeth to the black shadow, ripping it apart. It then formed a light ball from its mouth, lunged straight to the young boy and the shadow.

Meanwhile, Candice also attacked the other holy beast with her thunder magic. The holy beast jumped and rolled its long sharp tail to repel the bolt of thunder Candice formed. After repelling the attack, the holy beast aimed for Candice with its blade-like tail.

Candice dodged sideways and sent electric shocks to the beast. Electric sparks were all over the holy beast's body, but it seemed unbothered by the sparks as it continued to move nimbly.

"Holy power, eh?" The young boy concluded after seeing the beasts' attack.

"No matter. Your attribute is meaningless in face of her," he confidently said as he closed his eyes solemnly.

Candice immediately knew what was going on and proceeded to protect her defenseless master from the beasts. She enveloped them with a strong thunder barrier.

Just then, the black shadow completely enveloped the young boy and seemed to become one with him. The next time he opened his eyes—her pupils turned red as his irises were glowing yellow.

The process was completed just in time. Candice wasn't able to hold the holy beasts' attacks anymore and her barrier was broken.

The young boy that had already assimilated with the shadow jumped and exerted his power from his hands. The pitch black shadows coming out from his hands had stronger dark aura than before. The shadows turned into sharp blades and lunged high speed at the two holy beasts.

The first holy beast didn't have the time to react as the sharp shadow blade penetrated its body. It then disappeared into thin air just like that.
