Chapter 186: Night Like Day
William frowned, looking up at the cave halfway up the mountain.
Just now, he detected some energy fluctuations appearing there.
"Hehe, young man, haven't seen one in who knows how many years."
A woman's voice suddenly came from inside the cave.
"Haven't seen one? Don't you often use them as food?" William said.
Since the other party was willing to communicate, he naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to obtain information.
"Hehe, you are so humorous. I wonder what your flesh tastes like."
The woman's voice was full of temptation.
William frowned immediately.
It was hard to imagine that such a voice came from that huge and ugly figure inside.
"Those men are just filthy and dirty things, only fit to be food."
The Progenitor Mountain Man spoke again.
"But you are different. I smell traces of Holy Power fluctuations; you are very pure."
She issued an invitation again.
"Do you want to experience the rarest pleasure with me? I will satisfy you."
"Old hag, you just don't want me to get close to the cave?" William was not disturbed by the other party's words.
"You didn't show up when there was such a big commotion outside just now, and you didn't care about the death of your subordinates."
"But when talking about content related to the 'True Lord', you immediately came out to silence them."
"It seems nurturing the Son of the Demon is very important to you; could it be that it has entered a critical period now?"
There was a brief silence in the air.
"A man who doesn't know how to praise will never win a woman's heart."
Unexpectedly, the Progenitor Mountain Man said such a sentence first.
"You are indeed very cunning; it's hard to imagine you come from the Church."
"Likewise."
William took out a crucifix.
"Do you plan to kill yourself, or do you want me to lend a hand?"
"Hmph! Ignorant human, you simply don't understand the consequences of offending the True Lord." The Progenitor Mountain Man's tone changed.
William rubbed his chin, recalling those demons and evil spirits who were flustered and exasperated in the past, and immediately said:
"If your Lord wants to trouble me, He might have to get in line first."
After speaking, he activated the Holy Power on the crucifix.
Dazzling light instantly lit up in the dark night, and a terrifyingly powerful aura surged around.
William took a step, looking like he was about to act.
"You are very good!"
A voice came immediately from inside the cave.
"Although I don't know what means you used to bewitch my children, they won't die just like that."
As soon as the voice fell, black mist emerged on the surface of the corpses on the ground.
These Mountain Men stood up again.
"The method of bewitching dead spirits is also very powerful. They were originally sentries in the dense forest; presumably, the children in the forest have all been slaughtered by you at this moment."
Surprise flashed in William's eyes this time.
He didn't expect the other party to know even this.
"I have to correct you; they are the slaughterers." William still said calmly.
"But you certainly wouldn't have thought that that place is not a prison for imprisoning souls at all."
The Progenitor Mountain Man's voice rose steeply.
"The altar is the object being guarded."
"From the results, it seems they didn't guard it successfully either." William didn't miss any opportunity to disturb the other party.
The Progenitor Mountain Man was indeed silent for a moment.
Just as William was about to speak, he suddenly turned his head.
The ground under Jenny's feet suddenly became soft, and then she sank into it instantly.
"Will... Mmph!"
William narrowed his eyes but didn't rush to act.
Then Jenny's figure appeared at the cave entrance.
At this time, she couldn't move; multiple tentacles were wrapped around her body, all condensed from black mist.
One of the tentacles reached Jenny's mouth, condensing a drop of jet-black liquid at the end.
"What a beautiful girl, full of the scent of youth."
The Progenitor Mountain Man's tone was intoxicated.
"Priest, you must love her very much."
Hearing this, William tilted his head slightly and scratched his chin with his finger.
Jenny's mouth was sealed by a ball of black mist; she could only make muffling sounds at this time.
"What do you want to do?" William said.
Since just now, this guy had been trying to stop him from entering the cave, and now played the hostage game again.
This indeed aroused his curiosity.
"Want to make a deal with you." The Progenitor Mountain Man said.
"The Church travels everywhere with the slogan of 'Saving the World', but what they do is completely opposite."
"I possess the power to gain insight into 'Human Hearts'; I know you are different from those people."
"The hypocritical mask of the Church needs to be torn apart; we are the forerunners among them."
"In that case, why can't we cooperate?"
"You have encountered so many evil spirits and demons; why not let this one go."
Jenny shook her head desperately.
William raised an eyebrow.
"What can I get by doing this?"
Seeing him relent, the Progenitor Mountain Man spoke immediately:
"Wealth, women—you shouldn't be interested in these."
"Do you want to know the truth of this world? The real purpose of the Church spreading faith widely."
William said "Oh."
"Hehe, as a show of sincerity, I can reveal some first." The Progenitor Mountain Man said.
"God really exists; He allowed the evil deeds of the Church."
The other party burst out amazing words as soon as she opened her mouth.
William narrowed his eyes.
This sentence contained a lot of information.
But he was unmoved: "Do you think I will believe whatever you make up?"
"Hehe, this is my sincerity. Are you willing to make this deal?" The Progenitor Mountain Man tempted again.
"Not interested."
William's tone was serious.
"I walk in the world on behalf of the Lord to purify all kinds of evil. Vermin like you in dark corners should be completely eliminated by the Holy Light!"
"Stubborn guy! Do you want to watch her die!"
The voice inside the cave suddenly became louder, and even the ground shook a little.
The black mist tentacle approached Jenny again, almost touching the latter's face.
"On the road to cleansing evil, sacrifice is inevitable!"
William's eyes were firm, and he took out the Exorcism Bible from his cloth bag.
"What a disgusting attitude, just like them!"
The Progenitor Mountain Man's voice was sharp, and the black mist tentacle also wrapped around Jenny's head.
In the next second.
"Great Holy Spirit, please grant me strength; the Heart of Mercy will eventually spread across this land!"
A chanting sound suddenly rang high in the sky.
Immediately after, the entire night sky lit up with dazzling red light.
William raised his head.
He saw a huge cross long sword suspended in mid-air, with a slender figure at the end of the hilt.
Accompanied by a powerful energy fluctuation, the long sword stabbed towards Jenny.
Under the impact, the black mist on Jenny's body was forced back little by little, and a beautiful small face was revealed again.
"Knight's Seal, but still too weak!"
The Progenitor Mountain Man roared.
Then many cracks suddenly appeared on the ground of the dense forest.
Immediately after, countless black mist tentacles extended from them, wrapping around the giant sword.
Although the red light constantly dissolved these black mists, the latter's power was obviously stronger.
Before long, the red light on the sword was completely covered.
But it wasn't over yet.
Following the hilt, the black mist tentacles stabbed quickly towards Lea.
The latter didn't have time to dodge and could only try her best to turn sideways.
Splurt!
The black mist tentacle penetrated Lea's chest, and the filth power on it soon covered the wound.
The female Knight looked painful and fell straight down.
William's figure disappeared instantly, then appeared beside Lea.
He pressed the crucifix against the latter's wound, then hugged her and flashed to Jenny's side.
"Watch her."
Leaving this sentence, William disappeared again.
At the cave entrance, he opened the Exorcism Bible and began to chant.
And the waving tentacles all wrapped towards him.
Tap... Tap.
William's retreat was soon blocked, and he was trapped inside the black ball formed by tentacles.
"Can we talk now!"
The Progenitor Mountain Man talked about a deal, but didn't stop her movements. Instead, she drove more power, not intending to give the opponent any chance. The surging black ball collapsed inward, and a vortex appeared on the ground, blowing down all the surrounding trees.
"In the name of the Father, the Son..."
But a dull voice sounded inside the black ball.
"The Holy Cross crucifies your sins; the humble soul bathes in the warm sun..."
Many white light beams suddenly shone from inside the black ball.
"I expel you in the name of Redemption..."
Pillars of light lit up around the cave, soaring into the sky, connecting into a barrier.
"For all eternity, inviolable!"
The chanting ended, and dazzling light emerged in the magic array, illuminating the entire dark night into day.
Tens of kilometers away from the dense forest.
"Is it dawn?"
"My God, what is that?"
"Did a meteorite appear?"
People all saw that amazing scene.
Inside the dense forest.
"How... is this possible!"
The Progenitor Mountain Man's tone trembled.
"Such a scale of Holy Power, are you a Cardinal... No! You are the Pope!!"
William narrowed his eyes and continued to drive the power.
"Wait! I can tell you all the secrets of the Church, as long as you can..."
Bang!
Before the other party finished speaking, a terrifying energy washed over the magic array, purifying the evil inside instantly.
This power even affected the outer dense forest.
Those altars were all destroyed, and the dead spirits were also redeemed in the Holy Light.
A moment later, the light dissipated.
A drop of morning dew fell to the ground.
This dense forest where countless people died was now full of fresh scents.
The bloody smell that had been entrenched in the forest for decades was gone.
William closed the Exorcism Bible, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Don't give up! You will be fine."
At this time, Jenny's voice interrupted him.
William turned his head but saw an unexpected scene.
Jenny looked anxious, her hands pressing tightly on Lea's wound.
There was a faint green light glowing there, and an aura full of vitality was gathering constantly around it.
"Healing Magic?"
William raised an eyebrow.
If he remembered correctly, this should be an ability that only Witches possessed.
He took a deep look at Jenny.
A moment later.
"I... didn't die?"
Lea opened her eyes and saw a beautiful face, but it was covered with tear stains at this time.
"Mm! You didn't die!"
Jenny wiped her eyes with a smile.
Lea touched her chest; she remembered being pierced by that tentacle not long ago.
But at this moment, the wound had healed.
Only the torn clothes proved that she had been injured there.
"Did you save me?" Lea looked at Jenny's hands.
"And William!"
Jenny shook her head.
"Just now you fell from the sky; William caught you, and then I seemed to... heal your wound."
Mentioning the priest, Lea realized something.
She stood up and said coldly: "Just now, why did you let this girl be attacked by the black fog?"
