After the soldier left, Johnathon turned his attention back to the two unconscious mamono, still not entirely sure what to do with them.

A good part of him simply wanted to be rid of them, then and there, and he hefted his mace in anticipation at the thought. But deep down, he knew that killing them while they were like this would not sit well in his conscious. And he also knew that as commanders, they could easily have valuable knowledge of the enemy’s plans.

So it was, that he decided to spare them. But he also decided to take certain precautions.

Kneeling down next to their still forms, he placed a gauntleted hand on each of them before closing his eyes as he prepared to channel his magic once more. Directing all his focus on the two monsters, he could sense their demonic energy burning within them like a flame.

While the spell he was preparing to cast was pretty strait forward, complete focus was absolutely necessary; as a simple miscast could easily result in the two monsters’ deaths, or worse, result in his own corruption.

Channeling his magic, his palms began to glow. And at once, he could sense the demonic energy being forced from their bodies. To those who could see, it appeared as if a faint, black mist was rising from their still forms before dissipating into the air.

For Johnathon, the challenge lay in knowing when to relent; for he knew that if he purged too much, it would kill them, or at the very least, render them permanently comatose. So he continued to focus on their energy, watching as it got fainter and fainter as he continued to purge it from their bodies; before finally stopping when he sensed the desired amount had been purged.

Now, when they awaken, they would be far too weak to fight or attempt escape. And it would take quite some time for them to recover to the point where they could; at least without assistance that is.

Satisfied, he removed his hands from their bodies and rose to his feet, where he then awaited for the soldiers to return.
