Chapter 176 - Presence

"No, unfortunately I can't see anything. Like you said before, it may be that the existence behind the black tower is above my powers." Wednesday looked at Jonathan for a few seconds before looking at the boys her age.

"That's bad..." Doug shook his head while taking a sip from the bottle of wine he pulled out from his cassock.

The agents looked at this father with somewhat uncomfortable expressions. They recognized Doug's good skills, but they completely didn't know if he was prepared to stand beside a hunter like a Belmont.

These types of cases far exceeded their abilities, everyone's if they considered themselves part of the same team.

The only one capable of handling this case was Jonathan, but even so, this was something much bigger than any other case he had resolved.

The truth is that both Jonathan and any other agent present here were without tools to continue.

Just when Jonathan was about to solve this problem at its root, Wednesday suffered a sudden vision.

In that vision, she saw an abandoned building where a child entered and was then attacked by a sudden giant killing machine.

She only learned the nearby city where that place was located, but soon she stopped seeing it and was forcibly pulled out.

"I've got it..."

"What?" Jonathan walked toward her, waiting for answers.

"The site of the portal..."

"Come on, let's return to the church."

"Already?" Doug looked at the young people affected by the curse of the dark tower and then saw Jonathan leaving.

But before he reached the door, an enormous spiritual energy was expelled from Jonathan's body, extinguishing all darkness in the room.

The light from outside that fell into the building was enough to erase all presence of evil.

"Arghh..." In the shadows of the room, the thing that entered the dreams of the young people appeared, and before anyone could make a move, it was erased.

"Holy Mother of God, let us pray." Doug spat out the wine he had in his mouth, spraying the face of a young man.

"What the hell?"

"I just baptized you, relax, this is the blood of Christ." Doug pointed at the young people, and the agents present stepped forward to take them to the agency.

Everyone remained incredulous at the words of that priest who was very possibly a charlatan.

...

"We are tracking the building according to the information we have received. We will keep you informed."

Jonathan ended the call and looked at Wednesday. He thought for a moment and advised her, "You should go back to your family, enjoy a little the friends you made at school."

"Why would you suggest something so boring?" Wednesday didn't understand Jonathan's point. She had never enjoyed herself as much as she had been doing now.

"The dark tower will probably destroy this world. If I die, everything collapses." Jonathan did not consider himself that important, but right now his stats categorize him as the strongest human in this world.

According to his beliefs and those of the Order, he was the last bastion of humanity.

The strongest pillar of the Belmonts and the most outstanding hunter of recent times.

His achievements were significant, and they turned him into the man he is now, an indispensable being for the people.

"I am useful to you, that counts. The survival chances of this planet increase if I am by your side." Wednesday knew how important her visions were for Jonathan, that is why she was better off at his side.

"That's not the point..."

"I appreciate your concern, but I won't die in my school dorm room or in some strange place."
