Chapter 158: Arriving at the Venue
Responding to Joran was another slash.
Bang!
The backstage wall shattered, and he smashed into the audience seating at cannonball-like speed.
"What a hasty bunch of guys."
Joran stood up expressionlessly, but then frowned.
At this moment, the venue was filled with evil aura, and ugly monsters were circling around.
In the audience seats, people were standing facing the same direction; the scene looked quite eerie.
"Summoned creatures, mental pollution... this is trouble," he thought to himself.
But there were still people in the venue who remained sober.
Joran soon noticed several clergy members from "St. Peter's."
As a Diocesan Cathedral, St. Peter's possessed the ability to create high-quality holy artifacts.
This allowed them to withstand the double invasion of monsters and mental attacks.
Especially that Sister Beatrice, who was still looking for the weaknesses of the monsters.
Similar situations were happening in several places in the venue.
Trinity Church, formerly a main member of the Sacred Society, had delved deep into theological studies.
At this moment, their priests were looking for ways to crack the rune pollution.
Freemasonry Church, a group of guys focused on applying Holy Oil, had already "purified" more than a dozen monsters with their bare hands.
Joran nodded secretly. Although the attack came suddenly, there was still hope for a reversal on his side.
He exchanged glances with Matthew.
Although no words were spoken, both understood what they should do.
"That old man should also have a high-quality holy artifact on him."
Joran pondered.
"Haggai hasn't appeared yet; he must have found a way to solve the magic array."
"Now only that pagan who received the 'Pouring' is the most thorny."
He made a decision immediately.
At this time, Joran glimpsed a figure acting sneakily at the side door.
"Caroline, go find that person."
He threw a silver round token out.
In the next moment, terrifying power swept over again.
Joran's expression did not change, and he actively guided the opponent to fly upwards.
"Pagan, which evil god do you serve?" he spoke.
A female voice sounded from behind the burning green flames.
"My Lord, Sila."
By the street.
William was carrying Caroline, moving quickly between rooftops.
"The... situation... is like this," Caroline said.
William narrowed his eyes: "A Vatican Archbishop asking a local church priest like me for help?"
"I also find it a bit strange. I thought Archbishop Borja was a bit confused, but now..."
Caroline looked at the rapidly retreating houses, feeling incredibly surprised inside.
The ability this guy in front of her was using was [Holy Step]!
This was an ability that only Silver Cross Priests could master.
"He seems really powerful," Caroline thought to himself.
At this time, the two had left the hospital for a while.
After Belial died, police support finally arrived.
As an important witness, Lorraine was asked to stay for investigation.
Therefore, William gave her some holy artifacts and then took Caroline to the venue first.
Along the way, he had been asking this nun for intelligence.
He also had a general understanding of the situation there.
Ten minutes later, the two arrived at their destination.
At this time, the entire City Hall was wrapped in a layer of dark green barrier.
A hole was broken on one side of the building, and a lot of rubble fell on the ground.
The outside of the venue was crowded with people; everyone was shocked by what happened inside.
Firefighters and guards were evacuating the crowd, but due to the influence of evil power, no one dared to approach the building.
Seeing the scene in front of him, William rubbed his chin.
"Those ordinary people might be dead already, but everyone among the clergy might still be saved," Caroline said.
William nodded in agreement, but then the corner of his mouth twitched.
"This girl really knows how to talk..."
Sure enough, as soon as the voice fell, the people around cast strange glances.
"Hello, I am Sergeant Gary Lee. Are you the support sent by the Church?" A black burly man walked over at this time.
Caroline nodded and showed the exclusive token of the Church.
This time the Church had communicated with the police in advance, and the former was responsible for handling abnormal situations on Memorial Day.
"Where are the others?" Gary looked around.
Caroline shook her head: "Archbishop Borja only asked me to find him; there is no one else."
"Hey... don't say everything out loud!" William roared inwardly.
Gary looked at the two young people in front of him; they were even the same age as his own children.
Hesitation immediately appeared in the sergeant's eyes.
But before coming, the higher-ups had specifically instructed that he must fully support the Church clergy.
So Gary could only say: "Understood. What do you need us to do?"
Caroline looked at William immediately.
The latter thought for a moment and asked the sergeant for a structural map of the City Hall.
With the experience of Valakh last time, the first thing William did was to look for ritual implements.
Caroline had mentioned that suspected items had been found under the venue.
But William decided to observe the surrounding situation first.
So, a group of guards followed behind the two clergy members.
Every short distance, Gary saw the priest put down a Holy Statue and instructed him to protect this thing's safety.
As a sergeant who came out of the streets, he did not understand the Church's methods.
At first, he could keep his cool.
But more than ten minutes later, when everyone was still wandering outside the door, Sergeant Gary finally couldn't help speaking up.
"Father William, shouldn't we go in?" He held back and forced a smile.
Seeing this, Caroline leaned close to William's ear and assumed a posture of whispering.
Then she said in a voice that all three could hear: "He probably thinks you have no skills."
Gary's smile froze on his face instantly.
"Thank you for your reminder." William looked helpless.
Fortunately, the necessary arrangement had been completed, and he came to the entrance of the venue again.
"Here."
Caroline took out an amulet.
"This is a holy artifact of 20-year quality. Wearing it can resist the invasion of evil."
Then she took out another one.
"Father only gave me two in total, so Mr. Sergeant, you don't get one."
William raised an eyebrow.
He already knew that this nun came from the Vatican.
Showing high-quality holy artifacts to outsiders so easily, he didn't know if she was just carefree or simply didn't care.
But William still shook his head: "Put it away; better not give such things to others casually."
Then he said to the sergeant again: "It will be very dangerous next; thank you for staying behind, Sergeant."
Gary thought for a moment and nodded.
So he watched the two disappear into the entrance.
Inside the Passage.
William placed a Holy Statue in the corner again.
From the entrance to here, he was reclaiming the authority of this land bit by bit.
Although the sacrificial ritual had not been completely lifted yet.
But where there were Holy Statues, the power of evil would not operate.
"When I came out, there were many monsters in the venue, and many people were polluted by them."
Caroline looked nervous, glancing around from time to time.
"Maybe they have run out by now; we'd better bypass them."
But William showed a look of anticipation.
"Many monsters are exactly what I want."
At the hospital, he was a step late, and those "Servants" were all purified by Lorraine.
Therefore, [Voice of Redemption] didn't come in handy.
So he wouldn't miss this opportunity.
Thump... Thump.
At this time, heavy footsteps suddenly sounded in the passage.
Caroline was startled and hid behind William's clothes.
A moment later, several huge figures appeared at the corner.
"That's them!" Caroline whispered.
