The Demonic Energy that Cassandra unleashed were not only to get Ellergest and Blake away from her sight, but also with the intention of taking care of the people inside the manor! She wanted them all to either become Lesser Demons or be eaten by them. She couldn’t simply allow them to survive after everything that happened, and she planned to just discard this entire family, grabbing her child in the process, and then running away when she was done with the priest and this annoying child.
She knew her child would be okay because he had been born after she underwent the demon ritual, and her son was a special child capable of wielding demonic powers and that was born with them. Naturally immune to most negative effects that demonic energy had.
However, Blake had already predicted this and had left Eleanora there to protect the people in that place for a reason. Of course, he was not doing this out of goodwill, but if his contractor died, who would pay him in the end? It was important to keep Treebark alive, at the very least.
He heard Eleanora’s words, and he was slightly surprised by what was happening. He had actually predicted this would happen within his many predictions, but didn’t think that Cassandra would be strong enough to contaminate others in an instant, and had thought that she was capable of doing this with curses that took some time, such as the curse on Gabriela.
But he was wrong. Cassandra was deeper than he imagined, and was willing to sacrifice everything and start over again in another duchy after this battle was over. She unleashed a demonic energy shockwave that thankfully didn’t reached as far as outside of the territory of the noble family, but did reach the manor, covering it on this toxic fog that can even mutate humans into Lesser Demons! Thankfully, Elisabeth, Seth, and Jack protected those inside the room, but those outside… met a different fate.
The demonic energies corrupted and cursed their bodies, and all their bottled-up negative emotions fueled their transformations into Lesser Demons. Wild and savage, and unable to even control themselves, they transformed and attacked those that were still humans inside the room where Treebark was.
The group of butlers that had yet to enter into the room were corrupted by this darkness without Elisabeth being able to help them enter into the room, and became Lesser Demons, losing their sanity. Many would think they were lost and that they should get slain quickly, but would they be able to? The people inside the room were exhausted, the priest’s trio was out of mana now, for sure. The three maids were useless aside from cleaning, their spirits were of no use and they were low Level as well, without any knowledge of magic spells conjuration.
Lady Treebark might be strong as she was a Noble, and her Spirit was supposedly powerful, but she was weakened due to the poison she was just recently healed from, and her son was not strong either as he lacked experience and was low level, in fact, he had yet to kill a single monster, so he was only Level 1.
The only one that could do anything now was Eleanora, so she quickly and swiftly moved forward. Clashing against the Butler that attempted to enter, the Lesser Demon had a sharp and spear-like tail, and was hungry for the flesh of his boss, Lady Treebark. His negative emotions which he had bottled up, such as his jealousy of the rich were coming out with his desires after he had turned into a demon. His priority now was to kill her and quite possibly feast in her flesh and blood.
Eleanora was nervous, she didn’t knew what she should exactly do with the butlers. Should they kill them? Should she somehow let them live? She asked this to Blake, as he quickly thought for a few splits of a second about it. He was certainly able to heal people from their demonic transformations to an extent, but should he bother with the butlers? At the end, to remain neutral in this whole conflict, he decided to just tell Eleanora what he thought should be the best.
“Knock them off, break their legs and arms so they can’t move, wrap them around your blood thread and do whatever else you want, but don’t kill them. It is better to heal them later, maybe this could increase our pay if we let all the butlers alive.” He said rather cunningly, without realizing that his actions were quite merciful.
“Very well, that’s not going to be hard to do, if you let me break their bones… Fufu…” Eleanora giggled.
“Orcus will aid you as well.” Said Blake, the moment he said that five large black-colored wild boars emerged from the shadows of Eleanora, these were the summons that Gluttony could create, which Blake had previously summoned and stored inside of Elenora’s shadows, which were way bigger than his. Blake had figured out a way to reduce their size, so they were all able to fit inside of the room and were ready to fight! They were not so strong individually, but together could be strong using their special Skill [Berserk Charge].

“GRAAAH!”
Suddenly, two more Lesser Demons emerged form outside the room from within the black fog, attempting to attack Eleanora, however, they were met with the berserk charges of five large wild boars, crushing them into the ground!
BOOOMMM!!!
Everyone else except Eleanora was left surprised. They suddenly saw five spirits in the shape of wild boars emerge from the girl’s shadows, and they all concentrated their strength together to fight against the Lesser Demons, throwing them into the ground with enormous strength, they were sure to have heard some bones cracking, even!
