After sending a strong curse, Aldrian waited for a few moments, and he could not help but smile. He could sense that the darkness on the surface of Duke Vareden's soul had lost its karmic connection with the caster entirely.
That meant the one who cast the possession technique was dead.
The darkness that was still left on the duke's soul slowly dissipated, albeit slowly. Because the caster of the technique was now dead, Duke Vareden was in a state as if a puppet had been cut from its strings.
Since his real consciousness was still covered in darkness and had not yet reconnected to his body, the body did not give any reaction. What he needed to do now was to purify the remaining darkness, which still carried a strong curse that slowed down the normalization process.
He could also sense that the noble bodies under the devils' possession had also collapsed in the hall, and they were in the middle of being brought to this place.
