Chapter 66: Chapter 66: Exorcising Holy Flame
"Another Seventy-Two Pillar Demon."
Seeing the information displayed on the notebook, Sun Yan frowned slightly. The Seventy-Two Pillar Demon Gods are beings far more powerful than ordinary Evil Spirits.
Referring to last time, just a wisp of Butis’s power made the elderly Madam Lolian so troublesome.
This time, Sun Yan has to face Andros directly, and the danger level can only be calculated as doubled.
"Sosia, take this with you at all times, you can use it for Divination when necessary." Sun Yan took a red-faced General Enhancing Puppet from his backpack and handed it to Sosia, seriously instructing.
As a Cemetery Member, Sosia could use all of Sun Yan’s Cemetery Entries, including ’Divination Child.’
But for a Divination Child to perform Divination, it must rely on a medium. Sun Yan uses the General Sun Mask, while Sosia can only use the General Enhancing Puppet.
If both perform Divination at the same time, with the power of General Zeng and General Sun embodying them, Sun Yan estimates they should be able to contend with Andros.
"Okay." Sosia put the General Enhancing Puppet in his pocket, his expression also very serious.
The two quickly caught up with Geralt, who hadn’t gone far. Being experienced Exorcists, they all had the same goal. At this time, they must unite and cooperate to increase their chances of success.
The corridor ended at an iron door that had been sealed for years. When Sun Yan and his group approached, they saw that the iron lock originally on the door had already been destroyed with a sharp tool, and there was a clear Palm Seal on the door.
Judging from its shape, this handprint was petite and its owner should be a woman.
"Kevin." Geralt clenched his fists and immediately pushed open the door and went inside.
He had been in a deep relationship with his girlfriend for many years. Today, no matter what, Geralt was prepared to risk his life to save his girlfriend Kevin.
Behind the iron door was an octagonal room, with each wall adorned with exquisite murals, Holy Mother Mary, Jesus...
The lifelike figures looked incomparably grand, gazing down at everyone with expressions as compassionate as a Divine Spirit.
At the end of the room, there was an iron confessional. A room that should have been abandoned for many years was now brightly lit.
The copper candleholders were filled with white candles, illuminating the room, and the benches were filled with men and women praying silently. Their posture remained unmoving and silent.
Sun Yan, just entering from outside, felt a chill down his spine seeing this scene. Even holding the Ghost Torturing Stick, he couldn’t help but feel a chill.
This church was supposed to be abandoned long ago; where did all these people come from?
"Kevin!"
At the front, Geralt immediately caught sight of his girlfriend among the crowd. Despite the bizarre situation, he didn’t hesitate, running over with the Cross Sword, grabbing his girlfriend’s hand.
At that moment, all the candles in the room suddenly extinguished, plunging the place into impenetrable darkness.
Fortunately, Sun Yan’s Celestial Eye and Sosia’s Wolf Eyes allowed them to see at night, so this change didn’t affect them.
Sun Yan witnessed the moment when the men and women praying on the benches vanished without a trace.
The entire room transformed as if through time travel, the benches weathering, covered in thick dust and cobwebs, proving that this place had been unattended for many years.
"Geralt, this is all Andros’s illusion. Calm down," Sun Yan quickly shouted.
Demons are best at tempting the human heart, first inducing fear in humans mentally, gradually breaking down their resistance.
Then silently possessing the human body during this period, continuously restoring their strength.
When facing a Demon, if humans feel fear, they have already lost half. Fortunately, for Sun Yan, having experienced so many Evil Spirit events, his immunity to fear has been significantly elevated. At worst, he could calm himself by smoking. Mental fear has no effect on him.
"Kevin, I can’t find her... What should I do?"
Geralt turned his head slowly, black blood streaming from his eyes, carving two twisted deep scars down his cheeks.
He looked at Sun Yan with immense sadness, his expression twisted and struggling: "Go, you’re no match for it, leave now!"
Facing this strange scene, Sun Yan was about to go over to help when numerous black arms suddenly extended from the ground at Geralt’s feet, like tentacles spreading continuously, enveloping Geralt in an instant.
In front of Sun Yan and Sosia, Geralt was dragged underground, disappearing from Sun Yan’s sight.
At the spot where he vanished, there was now only a long box.
"Damn it." Sun Yan cursed incredulously.
A living person just vanished before his eyes, forcing Sun Yan to reassess Andros’s power.
To exorcise this Demon back to Hell might be an enormous challenge.
Sosia quickly went to pick up Geralt’s box and stepped back. As Exorcism equipment, the box contained all of Geralt’s handy weapons.
At this moment, they must integrate all forces, using everything at their disposal.
Sosia opened the box, revealing a dazzling array of items to the two of them.
Pure Holy Water in a glass bottle, a beautifully crafted Cross made entirely of Silver, a Bible with an exquisitely made cover, and a sealed ’Molotov Cocktail,’ also known as a Burning Bottle.
Of course, the most eye-catching item was undoubtedly the customized Winchester M1887 Shotgun.
This shotgun was clearly custom-made, with gleaming Gold detailing on the stock, trigger, and barrel. The gun body was engraved with Angel motifs, making it a work of art.
Sun Yan, with sharp eyes, noticed the box contained 12-gauge shells specially designed for this shotgun.
These 12-gauge shells had copper bodies and Silver heads, with clear Cross engravings on the casings, evidently not ordinary goods.
Sosia picked up a 12-gauge shell with two fingers, shook it in front of Sun Yan, and you could clearly hear the sound of water sloshing inside.
"Geralt must have been trained by the Church; otherwise, he couldn’t have obtained such Holy Bullets that only the Church produces. These bullets have Mithril tips filled with Holy Water, causing massive damage to Evil Spirits and Demons."
Sun Yan nodded in approval, "Just hearing about it is reassuring."
Without hesitation, Sosia picked up the shotgun, strapping the box onto herself. Facing a Demon, her Werewolf Bloodline wasn’t quite enough. With the boost of this Exorcism Weapon, she could assist Sun Yan more significantly.
If they truly encounter the Demon Andros, Sosia would let it experience the taste of the Exorcising Holy Flame.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
At this moment, the previously quiet Dahuang suddenly barked fiercely at the confessional.
These types of confessionals frequently appear in Western films with compact internal space. The Priest would speak to you through a curtain, and if you felt you were sinful, you could confess all your sins inside, and the Priest, on behalf of God, would forgive your sins.
The confessional door swung open abruptly, and a dried corpse dressed in a Priest’s robe fell out and shattered into pieces upon hitting the ground.
Dahuang bared its teeth, glaring fiercely at the open door, as if something was hidden inside.
"Be careful," Sun Yan warned.
But as soon as he spoke, the entire confessional exploded, and a black shadow lunged, attacking Sun Yan from the air.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Quick to respond, Sosia fired the shotgun above without hesitation.
Fire illuminated the darkness, revealing a gaunt man with a mouth torn all the way to his ears, filled with sharp teeth. Its exaggerated jaw could swallow an adult’s head in one bite.
"It’s a Ghoul."
