Pillars emerged from nothingness and encircled those intruders. The pillars were made of flesh, and indeed, that was their name: Flesh Pillars.
When the pillars finished encircling them—seven in total—a massive blaze of fire erupted from the direction of the figure facing the intruders. It was so vast that only the pillars and the fire remained visible. The blaze grew larger until it touched the very edges of the horizon and turned the sky blood-red.
Thus, when the blazing fire reached its peak, He said to those intruders, "Here is where you end, O descendants of %&*. There is no longer any continuation for you." With His declaration, He opened His arms as if to embrace the world into His grasp, and He proclaimed loudly:
"Time of Reincarnation Hath Come; I Who Seek New Paradise; I Who Return All to Genesis; I Decider of Rebirth."
"[Forbidden Ritual: Demon God Flesh Pillar: Arts no. 8: Garden of Genesis]"
The blaze transformed into a source of power and then into pure energy. An explosion of light erupted from Him and devoured all that existed. Nothing remained of those intruders; they did not leave even a trace of dust behind.
The explosion of light lasted for approximately nine times eight minutes, with continuous subsequent explosions occurring every minute. After those nine times eight minutes had passed, the meadow was all that could be seen.
The village that should have been near the meadow was gone, and even the sheep and their flock were nowhere to be seen in this pasture. In this place, only one person remained. There He was seen, the Shepherd, breathless, and there were no Flesh Pillars left around Him.
Without a heavy heart, He decided to save Himself. The incantation He had just uttered did not come without a price. A spell classified as 'Forbidden' is so not only because of its impact on the environment but also because of the balance of input, process, and output through which a spell operates.
Therefore, He chanted once more—something that would negate the effects of that 'Forbidden' spell. He looked up toward the heavens and, while spreading His arms wide, He cried out to the world:
"[Tenth Miracle: Miracle of The Demon: Negation of Salvation]"
Miracles are real; at least, that is what is written in the holy scriptures. He, the Shepherd, invoked the tenth miracle out of the thirteen miracles that exist. He did not go to heaven or to a final resting place.
The meadow returned to silence; there was nothing left within it, only the grass swaying to the rhythm of a cool wind.
