Chapter 198: Strife Between Dead Spirits
"Really lively."
William took out a crucifix and Holy Water as he spoke, vigilant of the surroundings.
"You... run."
At this time, a broken voice came from the room.
William and Faya frowned.
They saw Erin turning her head with difficulty; at this time, veins on her face bulged, and her left eye was also covered with ink-like blackness.
This was a sign of possession.
Seeing Erin's face, William recognized her immediately.
This was the heroine in The Nun, who stopped Valak's residual power alone.
But right now, Erin shouldn't have obtained powerful strength yet.
Seeing this scene, Faya waved the bone staff in her hand and planned to rush in.
But William reached out to stop her.
"Judging from the battle just now, these dead spirits obviously have some intelligence; maybe there are far more dead spirits in the room than these."
At the same time, at the entrance.
A heavy cabinet was crumbling, and a dead spirit was hiding behind it.
It stared closely at the door position, ready to push the cabinet down.
And opposite, a dead spirit covered in filthy blood floated in the air.
Blood gushed out from its mouth from time to time.
The filthy blood dead spirit revealed a ferocious smile.
As long as its companion knocked those humans to the ground, it would pry open their mouths.
Then inject filthy blood into their stomachs.
In this way, they could obtain new bodies.
Soon, they sensed something entering the entrance.
Both dead spirits showed excited eyes.
But soon they were stunned.
They saw a glass bottle come in first, followed by what seemed to be a section of bone.
And the bottle body was stuck exactly at the bone joint.
The filthy blood dead spirit stared at the bone extending in front of it, and then the bottle mouth turned upside down, pouring the liquid inside onto it.
Sizzle...
A burning sensation deep into the soul came.
The filthy blood dead spirit let out a heart-rending scream, and its spirit body visibly diminished a lot.
Outside the door.
William also heard that scream; his eyes lit up, and then he controlled the bone to probe the other side.
"Father William..."
Faya hesitated to speak; her cheeks were a little hot at this time, but she finally spoke.
"My tailbone is not used for doing these things..."
Previously, William borrowed a section of bone from Faya on the grounds of "clearing hidden dangers."
This sounded very strange; no Holy Clergy Member had ever made such a request to Faya in the past.
But considering the importance of this commission, she finally nodded in agreement.
Since William requested "the bone to be as long as possible," Faya extracted her spine.
She thought the other party would use it as a weapon.
But who would have thought that William actually took out a rope from his bag, and then tied a bottle of Holy Water to her tailbone!
This made Faya feel a sense of shame.
She was willing to give everything for the Church, but such "Giving" was obviously not very decent.
"It's okay! Don't worry about me."
William turned his head slightly.
"Only the other side is left."
Faya was speechless instantly.
I'm not worried about you...
Accompanied by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, William retracted the bone.
He untied the rope, wiped the end of the tailbone with his cuff, and then handed the bone back.
"Please keep it safe."
Faya suppressed a smile: "Than... Thanks."
After doing this, William entered the room.
At this time, only part of the spirit bodies of the two dead spirits at the door remained.
This was intentionally left by William.
Faya had said before that when dealing with resentful dead spirits, purifying with Holy Water might not be effective every time.
Although this could purify the spirit body of the dead spirit.
But if the other party still had remains, they would return again in a few decades.
Therefore, the safest way is to find the burial place of these resentful spirits, and then destroy them completely.
William collected the two dead spirits into a wooden jar.
His move obviously destroyed the dead spirits' plan.
The latter abandoned Erin and pressed towards the door.
"Father William, please guide the position for me; I'll deal with them." Faya took the initiative to step forward.
"No rush; none of them can escape." William said.
Faya was a little puzzled; it seemed the opposite side had a "Numbers Advantage" now.
Next, she saw William take out some holy artifacts and throw them casually on the floor inside the room.
The latter held a crucifix, and pure Holy Power surged from his body.
"Such refined Holy Power; only slight fluctuations in surface energy. This is a characteristic of strong control!" Faya exclaimed inwardly.
She looked at William incredulously.
The other party's face was clearly very young, but his use of Holy Power was already very proficient, even stronger than some experienced exorcism teachers in the seminary.
At this time, the dead spirits in the room were also divided into several different areas, with exactly one dead spirit in each area.
"This should do." William nodded with satisfaction.
Then he stared at one of the dead spirits with [Holy Eye], planting Holy Power onto the other party's spirit body.
The latter felt this external force.
It drove the evil aura all over its body to resist, but this was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
In just an instant, the evil on the dead spirit was completely assimilated.
"Cough cough..."
William cleared his throat, then pointed to an area closest to the assimilated dead spirit.
"Only one 'Dead Spirit' among you can survive."
Faya aside guessed William's thought.
Hearing these words at this time, she couldn't help thinking inwardly: "This doesn't sound like a good person."
At the same time, she also admired this priest's means.
Being able to arrange so many small trap arrays accurately in a short time, William's theological knowledge attainment was obviously not low.
Next, two dead spirits fought together.
With William's secret control, the winning rate naturally went all the way up.
Faya nodded in praise.
"Using magic arrays to isolate dead spirits, splitting the many-against-one scene into one-on-one."
"Plus the ability of [Holy Eye], allows dead spirits to consume themselves."
"This exorcism method is indeed much cleverer than rushing up recklessly."
Before long, only two dead spirits remained on the field.
One still standing was the previous Dead Spirit Leader.
The latter bit the spirit body controlled by William into pieces, naturally becoming his new puppet.
And the other one had possessed Erin's body from the beginning.
Just now when "Dead Spirit One-on-One" was staged, this one tried to fight for control of the body with Erin many times.
But in the end, it still didn't seize the opportunity.
Nun Erin's willpower was stronger than imagined.
Seeing companions disintegrated one by one, and that human man came in front of it again.
This dead spirit actually felt a trace of fear.
"I give you two choices: either be beaten to death by this one."
William signaled the Dead Spirit Leader.
"Or roll in there yourself."
He opened the seal of the wooden jar as he spoke.
Faya frowned slightly.
"Dead spirits shouldn't be threatened..." She was no longer so certain inside.
And what happened next verified this point.
As soon as William finished speaking, the ink in Erin's eyes receded rapidly.
Then a dark shadow swam on her skin.
This shadow went all the way down, soon arriving at Erin's feet, where the wooden jar was.
Almost without any hesitation.
The shadow jumped into the jar mouth.
Then a shadow tentacle extended from inside, sticking to the cover on the ground, and then closed the lid firmly.
Faya's mouth was wide open.
Is this still the dead spirit she knew?
Aren't these guys heavy with evil thoughts and strongly hostile to the living?
Why submit so quickly after encountering threats?
Could this be the true usage of [Holy Eye]?
She turned to look at William.
Among the "Eyes Manifestation" Holy Clergy Members she had seen in the past, no one could be like William.
They still followed the method of "Planting Holy Power into the spirit body" to deal with evil spirits.
Actually, this was not because Faya had seen too little.
Ordinary Holy Clergy Members indeed couldn't do it.
William could make dead spirits feel threatened because he possessed both "Eyes Manifestation" and "Soul Body Manifestation."
After putting the Dead Spirit Leader into the wooden jar as well, he looked at Erin on the ground.
"Cough... Ugh."
At this time, this nun had also woken up.
She turned over and propped herself on the ground, then spat out a large patch of filthy blood mixed with a lot of gastric juice.
William took out a white cloth from his bag and handed it to her.
Faya took a long robe from aside.
"Phew... thank you, I feel much better now." Erin calmed her breathing.
Seeing the other party's condition improving, William handed a bottle of Holy Water again, then asked: "What happened here?"
Sadness appeared in Erin's eyes.
"After helping Father Ivan settle those civilians who lost their souls, I went to the Chapel of Our Lady of Peace."
"But when I returned, evil spirits had already invaded the church."
"Before dying, Father Ivan told me that the surrounding magic arrays were artificially destroyed, and the 'Hand of the Apostle' was also lost..."
"What!"
Hearing this news, Faya was a little emotional.
But she quickly realized this and calmed down forcefully.
"Do you know who took the holy relic?"
Erin looked somewhat ashamed: "Probably Mia; she was also one of the participants in that Spirit Calling Game."
Doubt flashed in William's eyes: "Does she have special abilities? Or possessed by a dead spirit?"
Erin shook her head: "After the event ended, I screened her; Mia was not injured."
"In other words, a human girl entered the church, not only destroyed the magic arrays you arranged but also stole the key holy relic..." The corner of William's mouth twitched.
Erin nodded with a flushed face.
This security measure is too child's play!
William rubbed his forehead.
Worthy of the American Horror World; there is never a shortage of "Bear Kids" and "Pig Teammates" behavior at any time.
He could only calm down and continue: "What about those bodies that lost their souls?"
If they had been occupied by dead spirits, it might cause a series of dangers.
Erin pointed beneath her, where there seemed to be a cellar entrance.
"Before those dead spirits occupied the bodies, I stole the twenty-year vintage holy artifact from the church and sealed the entrance with its Holy Power."
William raised an eyebrow.
He looked at the entrance; sure enough, powerful power was attached to the metal surface.
But there was no trace of the holy artifact around.
Combining with the broken glass residue on it, William quickly realized something.
He couldn't help but look at Erin a few more times.
Destroying a holy artifact is a grave sin at any time.
This nun could put aside rules in a crisis and take solving the problem as the primary goal.
This decisiveness already exceeded most Holy Clergy Members.
And the other party confessed this news frankly at this time, obviously prepared to be blamed.
William nodded secretly and didn't mention the topic of the holy artifact.
He walked to the iron plate of the cellar: "Let's go down and have a look."
