"[Special mission discovered! Eliminate, seal, or expel Slenderman and you will obtain special rewards]"
"God, without form or name, above all things. Let me finish one more job and I promise never to stop, even if my bones shatter into a thousand pieces."
Bang! Bang! Bang!
ARGH!
Jonathan moved like a ghost thanks to his supernatural speed. Slenderman's branch attacks could do him no harm.
But this would not always remain the case, and while Jonathan faced a disoriented Slenderman, a group of agents led by Father Doug had reached the cabin where the girls were being evacuated behind the group.
Roarrrr!
The Slenderman standing before Jonathan was a ferocious creature that had long ceased to be humanoid.
Anyone who saw that fierce creature with two legs, dark tentacles emerging from its body, and a massive mouth that could split anything in half, would agree that this was something beyond any expectation.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The temperature dropped, the trees of the entire forest cracked, and every living being felt a void in their chest that grew larger with each breath.
"Everyone fall back and guard any exit behind me." Jonathan signaled as he removed the coat covering his body, revealing his special hunter suit.
"You heard the Regent, cover his back!"
Haley didn't know what they meant by this, but when she saw explosives being placed on the ground, she realized the last resort of these people would be to blow this place to pieces and hopefully kill Slenderman.
"Our priority is that nothing interrupts the Regent," Father Doug shouted with a fierce expression on his face.
At this moment, everyone felt fear and could not help but tremble. Father Doug was no exception; he was terrified and knew that no matter what he did, he could not fight that ancient demon head-on and come out alive.
He remembered that demon that had possessed that woman, and if back then he couldn't do anything with a gun, what use would it be in this battle?
When he was sent with Jonathan, he immediately knew they were sabotaging him. But that younger priest hadn't excluded him, he taught him, and now he was only executing what he had learned.
As he watched Jonathan fight, those vivid images burst into his mind one after another and inevitably he thought of stepping forward to help.
"You're not ready yet, just watch and protect everyone else," Jonathan murmured expressionlessly as he stared at the demon before him.
"You will die…"
When Slenderman heard Jonathan's words, its ferocity rose several levels and it charged toward Jonathan, who held his whip in the air.
Boom!
The first clash between Jonathan's whip and the demon's attack struck. The whip's edge was powerful, cutting into the demon's chest, but despite having armor beneath his clothes, Jonathan was also injured, which forced him to retreat.
But as he retreated, Jonathan drew his pistol again and fired twice into Slenderman's chest as it teleported from side to side within the containment site.
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
Slenderman could not leave this dimension through its teleportation; as long as it wanted to escape, it was drawn back into this place.
Everyone knew Slenderman was...
Jonathan glanced at the open wound on his body, and seeing it wasn't bleeding much, ignored the pain and focused only on the fight. "You're a very unpleasant thing, you know that?"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
When he saw the containment zone had worked, Jonathan knew there was a chance to suppress Slenderman without needing to seal it as he had originally thought.
Realizing this, what he was now facing was an ancient monster that had no way out of here and was furious.
The demons had once touched the earth, but they were all eliminated by medieval warriors in ancient times, and it could be said this was the first time a monster had been embodied in hundreds of years.
"In both life and death, I am the salvation of my own path…" Jonathan raised his whip while firing at the same time.
In just a few seconds, the wound on his arm, though not completely healed, stopped bleeding, and now he could continue the fight without being at a disadvantage.
Crack!
"Die!"
Sharpening his senses, Jonathan realized Slenderman had moved, and in the middle of the dust he pulled out a grenade and hurled it with force.
There weren't many chances to experiment in this fight.
Boom!
A massive explosion erupted at the site, shattering trees and shaking the earth.
Just a few meters away, Jonathan saw the grenade explode against Slenderman's body as it kept running toward him, and then everything was covered in a cloud of dirt.
The bad thing about all this was that the smoke mixed with the dirt made vision difficult, and he could only feel the dark energy.
"Didn't it take any damage?"
To avoid that possibility, he aimed his pistol and switched the ammunition to one specialized for killing demons. After reloading the bullets, he switched to the other revolver, and in no time both were loaded.
The moment he finished reloading his pistols, both barrels aimed toward his direction, so Jonathan simply pulled up his jacket to keep the fragments from hitting his eyes and endured the blows without much pain.
"I've got you!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three powerful shots rang out through the smoke, each one striking the demon that seemed to be moving.
Roooarrrrr!!!
Slenderman roared again in anger; there was no way to easily kill Jonathan because he was a supernatural being.
If he had been an ordinary person, he would not have been able to move at this moment.
But Jonathan was by no means an ordinary human, so keeping calm he used his supernatural abilities.
In seconds, his eyes darkened and everything became clearer to him.
The darkness merged with him, showing silhouettes that weren't there.
Bang! Bang!
Crack!
At the moment Jonathan fired two more times, a hand appeared in front of him, so quickly, dropping his pistol, he raised his whip and severed Slenderman's arm.
