Chapter 153: Blood Sacrifice Devouring
Seeing the other party lose his composure, Belial felt he had grasped this young man's weakness.
William was silent for a long time, but finally walked to the bell.
Seeing this, Belial smiled slightly.
Just before touching the bell, William stopped his hand movement.
"Who is the 'Lord' you serve?" He gritted his teeth and asked.
"Hehe, of course it is the supreme Demon God, Lord Valak."
Belial laughed sinisterly.
"If you want to change sides one day, you are welcome to come to us."
As soon as the voice fell, William stood up, and the gloom on his face disappeared.
"So that's how it is; then I have no problem," he said calmly.
Belial frowned: "What do you mean?"
"Saint Lucy. I guessed right, didn't I?" William said.
"How do you know?"
"Your performance just now finally confirmed it for me."
Belial frowned even deeper. Besides the confusion of losing his bargaining chip, there was also anger at the last sentence.
Not long ago, he had teased that woman in the same way.
Of course, William didn't confirm it through the last sentence; that was purely to provoke this cultist.
In the American horror world, Valak is indeed pursuing Saint Lucy's eyes. As a former member of the angels, this Demon God attempts to restore his original ability through this holy relic.
And Lorraine, as well as the apprentice nun in "The Nun", are both set as descendants of Saint Lucy in the original work.
Therefore, when William heard the name Valak, the question in his heart was answered.
"The Church promotes keeping promises and mercy; what you are doing violates the oath of a clergy member."
This time it was Belial's turn to grit his teeth.
A group of black-robed men were stunned; why did Lord Belial behave like a victim?
Clearly, they were the evil side.
William put on a look of "Are you kidding me?"
"A cultist dares to claim keeping promises? Since you can harm others, haven't you prepared yourself to be killed?"
Belial remained silent, knowing there was no need to talk further.
Suddenly, he disappeared from the spot.
Immediately afterward, several painful groans rang out inside the demon-trapping array.
When he appeared again, Belial was stained with blood, holding several still-beating hearts in his hands.
And the black-robed men beside him had all fallen to the ground.
"Supreme Demon God, your slave begs for mercy..."
Belial arranged the hearts into a pentagram pattern, then chanted the language of demons.
Accompanied by his voice, all the blood inside the demon-trapping array was sucked towards him.
Soon, a blood-colored vortex formed.
And the evil aura on Belial became denser and denser, even corroding the surrounding ground.
"Blood Sacrifice Devouring!" At this time, Lorraine came to William's side, sounding surprised.
Seeing the latter looking puzzled, she explained:
"This is sacrificing one's own soul and flesh to the demon to attract power irrigation, completely becoming a source of evil."
Lorraine frowned tightly.
"Such a sacrifice will pollute the land, making it a forbidden zone for life forever."
"You do have some knowledge," Belial said in a deep voice.
"The range of the sacrifice is a radius of one kilometer; you cannot escape."
William rubbed his chin.
He did feel a very astonishing power, but it seemed not fully formed yet.
So he opened his backpack and took out a bottle of Holy Water from inside.
Belial narrowed his eyes.
At this time, under the power irrigation, his sensory perception was greatly enhanced, and he immediately discovered that it was a bottle of 20-year vintage Holy Water.
"This guy really saved a backup plan, but just one portion is far from..."
Before he could finish his inner thought, Belial saw the young man take out another bottle, also 20 years old.
Subsequently.
Crucifixes, amulets, Holy Water...
One by one, holy artifacts were taken out, all of 20-year vintage quality.
They were placed on the ground, forming a specific pattern.
William held the Exorcism Bible and recited again.
Extremely pure Holy Power gathered from the surroundings, and the holy artifacts on the ground also glowed with white light.
Soon, an extremely terrifying power shrouded the surroundings.
A drop of sweat rolled down Belial's forehead.
He could clearly perceive this fluctuation, which was why he was even more terrified.
This had far exceeded the power he summoned, and even faintly touched the "Original Power."
This was the appearance of the power from the "Unknowable Space" when it first flowed into the human world.
Only high-level combat forces of the Vatican were qualified to perform purification rituals of this rank.
But now a young man could do it by himself.
This... how is this possible.
Belial suddenly realized something.
"The Church's 'Sacred Words' mentioned the descent of a Holy Son; could it be him..."
But there was no answer to this question.
After the purification ceremony was activated, the pure Holy Power instantly submerged Belial.
The evil aura on the latter's body was swept away, and the surface skin was also burning.
Because the cleansing was too pure, at this moment, Belial's body was even cleaner than ordinary priests.
But this only lasted for a moment.
This body had long been sold to the demon. When the connection of power was cut off, it could no longer be maintained.
Before dying, he stared at the young man in front of him with resentful eyes.
"I curse you!"
William curled his lips: "If curses were useful, demons would have ruled the human world long ago."
Just like that, Belial turned into flying ash with resentment.
William didn't stop immediately; he purified repeatedly several times before putting away the holy artifacts.
Looking at the bloody scene around him, he frowned.
At this time, apart from Lorraine, only four survivors were left alive. Due to the influence of Belial's power, they all lost consciousness.
This group of cultists massacred at least hundreds of people this time; truly frenzied!
"I implicated them." Lorraine's eyes were red.
William shook his head: "Living in such a world, being weak itself is a kind of mistake."
Lorraine understood partially, but felt a little better inside.
William was about to finish the wrap-up work, but he sensed someone behind him.
In the next second.
"Are you... Father William?"
A female voice suddenly sounded.
William and Lorraine looked over and saw a fair and beautiful face.
The other party was wearing nun's clothes and looked like someone from the Church.
"Who are you?"
William took out a crucifix without leaving a trace.
"Ca... Caroline Medici."
Caroline clutched her robe tightly, seeming a little afraid of the surrounding scene.
"Archbishop Borja asked me to find you."
As she spoke, she took out a silver round token, identical to William's.
"Something happened at the venue?" William reached out to take it.
Caroline nodded, then asked quietly: "What happened here?"
"The cult sacrificed civilians in the hospital."
William didn't mention Lorraine's matter.
Caroline exclaimed, then remembered she hadn't answered the other party yet.
"A group of forces attacked the venue; they are very strong. Everyone from the Exorcism Academy is fighting against them."
William narrowed his eyes: "Even with Joran's strength, he can't solve it?"
"Shh! You can't call the Archbishop by his name directly; he is very petty!" Caroline said hurriedly.
"He was lured away by a woman; the other party seems to be called... Sila!"
"Before leaving, the Archbishop gave me the round token and asked me to find you, saying he might need your help."
William frowned.
Sila, the Angel of Death.
The meaning represented by this name... was not good.
Aside, Caroline realized only after speaking that she wasn't familiar with this Father William, and complaining about the Archbishop just now was obviously a bit rash.
So she poked William's arm: "Can you not tattle on me?"
