Chapter 143: Expelling the Demon
"In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the supreme power of Holy Light, please cover this place with your light, and dispel all evil aura..."
Accompanied by William's recitation, the holy artifacts previously arranged in the farmland lit up with white light one after another.
At the same time, the Holy Power from all around gathered towards the altar.
"Is this the power of the Lord?" Colby closed his eyes.
When the light brushed across his cheeks, this old man felt a peace of mind, as if soaking in a hot spring.
For the demons, such pure power was obviously extremely oppressive.
"Fool! That guy wants to purify both you and me; get out of the way!" Malphas said angrily.
"Ugh... ah... listen... ah..." The other side of the crow statue convulsed.
William did consider whether to destroy both demons.
But seeing Valakh's enjoyment at this moment, he decisively gave up this choice.
After discarding distracting thoughts, he drove the Holy Power to pour onto the demon contract.
Relying on [Holy Eye], William saw many "Lines of Power" extending from the contract.
They connected Colby and the vortex, which was also the manifestation of the power of rules.
And what he was activating at this moment was a purification ritual in the Church classics, named "Rite of Holy Light Path Purification."
It can condense the purest Holy Power and expel all power that does not belong to the light within the range.
Under the blessing of the ritual, the "Lines of Power" on the parchment gradually weakened.
And William also kept taking out Holy Water and pouring it down.
This ritual consumes Holy Power extremely, but fortunately, he had figured out the consumption situation during private practice before.
"Damn it! How can a human possess such power!"
Malphas's tone finally revealed panic.
"Wait! We can discuss this!"
"Whatever Valakh promised you, I will pay double!"
Obviously, this demon had realized that the human in front of him possessed the strength to stop the sacrificial ritual.
And once he was driven away, all past accumulations would come to naught.
"Whether it is humans or demons, they always learn to change only when facing destruction."
William's tone was flat, but the Holy Power in his hand added a few points of strength.
Snap... snap.
Under the impact of Holy Power, the "Lines of Power" on the parchment broke completely.
A large amount of blood suddenly gushed out from its surface, dyeing the surrounding soil dark red.
Looking again, there was no text on the parchment.
At the same time, Colby also felt an extremely intimate aura.
He raised his head; the trapped soul was flying towards him, and the chains on the surface of its spiritual body also broke.
After another dizziness, Colby's soul and body merged into one.
After completing this matter, William looked at the two demons again.
Under Valakh's repeated suppression, Malphas's power had become extremely weak, posing no threat at all.
So William immediately raised the Exorcism Bible, intending to purify the other party as well.
"Human, I curse you! The seventy-two Demon Kings from the underground will pursue your life forever! Until death."
Malphas's eyes revealed resentment.
"I will be waiting for you in Hell."
"Setting aside whether so many demons will be of one mind..."
Facing the demon's anger, William was not deceived by its momentum.
"You say you want to curse me; do you know who I am?"
Malphas: "..."
It had indeed probed this human's "past" many times, but only saw a fog; obviously, the other party had a significant background.
"...Hehe."
Valakh's ridicule appeared at the right time.
"I know his name. If you give me a 'Surprise Gift' themed possession show at Christmas, I'll tell you."
After saying that, it looked at William and observed Malphas's reaction.
But the latter, one expressionless, the other snorted coldly.
"Tch, two boring guys."
"Enough chitchat; go in peace." William opened the Exorcism Bible.
Malphas stared at him dead, seeming to want to remember this human's face thoroughly.
"If you 'accidentally' purify me as well, I will definitely not complain, hehe."
William ignored the other party's invitation and soon recited the Exorcism Bible.
Soon, the Holy Power permeating nearby completely cleared Malphas.
"It really isn't that simple..."
William observed the surroundings; the sacrificial ritual did not stop due to the demon's dissipation.
Even more evil aura surged from the ground, and the seeds on the sunflowers were almost mature.
"Hehe, it seems that guy Malphas is unwilling to give up, interfering with the human world even at the cost of using his original power." Valakh's voice sounded again.
"Even with your power, you can't stop the current ritual?" William raised an eyebrow.
"Hehe, no need to probe; our cooperation does not include the item of 'Ritual Elimination'."
Valakh looked at the human in front of him.
"Do not underestimate the power of a Demon God, even if it is not in the human world."
William nodded upon hearing this: "Understood."
He threw the last bottle of Holy Water to the other party.
"I thought you would choose to forget."
"Although humans also have a despicable side, at least we really keep our promises."
"Hmph, boring." Valakh drank the last bottle of Holy Water.
"For the sake of getting along, I'll give you a piece of information for free."
Before leaving, this demon spoke again.
"The place where the Demon God's power is weakest is where the ritual implement is located."
After speaking, a cloud of scarlet aura erupted from the surface of the crow statue, then disappeared into the vortex.
William waited for a while longer, confirming that this demon had really left, before putting the Exorcism Bible back.
At this time, a layer of black fog had covered the sky above the farmland. Although it was daytime, not a trace of sunlight could be seen.
The range defined by the holy artifacts became the only safe place. Judy, Silas, and others were all hiding inside.
But this was only temporary. When the Holy Power in the holy artifacts was exhausted, everyone would be trapped in the farmland.
Currently, William could choose to leave, but the power of the ritual had already locked onto the Jessie family.
It was useless no matter where the latter fled.
William had also tried to break the connection, but a force blocked the Holy Power.
"Really can't underestimate demons."
Now there was still some time before noon, and the Solomon family obviously couldn't wait for the Church higher-ups to send someone.
"It seems I still have to find a way." William had made a decision.
But before acting, he bent down and picked up that parchment.
After the demon left, this item did not disappear.
To prevent evil from remaining, he sealed the parchment and put it away.
At the same time, seeing that it was safe here, the others also leaned over.
"Father William, did you really eliminate two demons?" Silas looked surprised.
Although he couldn't see the situation here clearly just now, he did perceive the disappearance of two evil auras.
Such means were simply more powerful than Teacher Richie! Is this the power of the ancient families of the Church?
This top student of the academy felt incredibly admired in his heart.
Bent and Zar also had the same emotions.
Especially the former; knowing that William used the "bottom-of-the-box stock" of the holy artifact shop, this academy student felt a lofty respect.
"Perhaps, Father William is the one I should learn from!"
Bent realized in his heart.
"His courage to face demons alone, and... his caution that never slackens at any time!"
Judy stood beside William, her chin slightly raised, the little pride in her heart unable to be suppressed.
Jessie brushed her hair and also looked at this young priest with unique eyes.
"Are we safe?" Roy looked worried.
Seeing everyone looking relaxed, he thought the matter was over, but the surrounding atmosphere was filled with ominousness.
"Of course not." At this time, William said: "Later, when the ritual begins, your whole family may lose their lives."
As soon as he opened his mouth, the hearts of the Solomon family turned cold.
