That being said, as expected, 【His】 power is outstanding.

I would like him to return peacefully, but rather contrarily, because 【He】 doesn’t have a body here, a Demon that’s essentially a spirit-like lifeform won’t return unless his spirit is broken.

I await your impressions.

10/2 I reworked it a little.
