What replaced it was focus. Pure, absolute focus. The demon’s head tilted a bit to the side as he stared toward the approaching swarm.
The girls yelped when his massive frame suddenly stirred, no longer standing still and motionless. "Kai?!" Luna blurted abruptly.
What remained of the destroyed house gave out under his weight as he began walking straight toward the incoming horde.

"We must trust our Paragon of Sin," Luna said softly.
Nyx nodded. "Our man knows what he’s doing."
Bastet’s tail lashed, her ears pinned back. "Of course I trust him! But!"
