Chapter 159: Haggai Sai
"Is this some kind of mad scientist sacrifice..."
Looking at the thing with an indescribable appearance that could barely be called a "Creature."
William searched for a long time but couldn't find the guy's "Face."
Perhaps provoked, the three monsters opposite spewed out dark green liquid at the same time.
"Run! Those things will corrode the human body." Caroline pulled William and said.
But the latter still frowned.
"Able to spew things out, is this the mouth... or..."
Seeing the corrosive liquid approaching, Caroline hurriedly closed her eyes, then held the amulet tightly with both hands and raised it to her chest.
In the next second.
The expected scene did not appear.
Caroline looked amazed, staring at the barrier in front of her.
"This is... a magic array?"
She couldn't believe her eyes.
At this moment, three holy artifacts were placed on the ground, yet they could isolate all the monsters' attacks.
Such a small-scale exorcism ritual could only be accomplished by a clergy member of the Archbishop level.
Ritual exorcism requires Holy Power as support.
Below the Archbishop level, few priests could cultivate enough Holy Power to consume.
"No wonder Archbishop Borja asked me to find him." Caroline peeked at the back figure in front of her.
On the other side, after hesitating for a long time, William finally decided to try first.
"Lord bless, that must be the mouth." He crossed himself on his chest.
He didn't want to conduct spiritual counseling to an excretory opening.
"Hey! You."
William waved to one of the monsters.
Bang!
The latter responded with an impact.
"Poor guy, it's not your fault for looking like this..."
Seeing William sitting on the ground chatting with the monster, Caroline opened her mouth wide.
"Is he... redeeming an evil creature?"
How is this possible!
Caroline looked confused.
These guys came from another world, possessing no language ability at all, unable to understand our language.
No no no!
Caroline patted her face.
Now is not the time to worry about feasibility!
Who would think of redeeming a monster!
But the next scene surprised her even more.
The monster, which was very irritable at first, gradually "sat" quietly on the ground.
Caroline didn't know if this description was accurate.
But the other party indeed made a movement of falling to the ground.
Subsequently, faint white light began to glow on the monster's body, and the evil aura gradually faded.
"This..."
Caroline was somewhat speechless. Growing up in the Vatican, she had read many precious classics when she was young.
But she had never seen such an exorcism method.
When [Atonement Persuasion +1] popped up in front of his eyes, William finally felt relieved.
Seeing their companion harmed, the other two monsters became even more irritable.
They turned their spears and began to attack the redeemed alien.
"Hey, a little harmony, aren't you all from the same place!"
William frowned and hurriedly spoke up to stop the fight.
"Bruce, help me hold down those two guys quickly; they must also be redeemed."
He had taken the initiative to name the redeemed monster.
Hearing William's words, Bruce indeed began to act.
So, his two "Brothers" were also dragged to William.
Before long, the group set off again.
Looking at the three sturdy backs opening the way ahead, Caroline had a strange look in her eyes.
In the following period of time, William traveled through various parts of the City Hall again.
Besides setting up Holy Statues, all the monsters encountered along the way were "recruited."
At the same time, in a certain corridor.
A boy was running, wearing a priest's black robe, constantly looking behind him.
Not far from the boy, two stitched monsters were chasing behind.
"Damn it, it was just taking two ritual offerings; no need to chase so closely!"
He glanced at the map while busy.
"There is a safety door around the corner ahead. As long as I get there, I can successfully escape."
Although exhausted, the boy put in extra effort.
At the corner.
"It's best to destroy this kind of safety door. When in danger, you must ensure that the escape route is unobstructed."
William explained while directing Bruce to walk towards the safety door.
Caroline was thoughtful.
"So that's it; explained this way, others won't think you are afraid of death."
Her eyes lit up.
"I learned it!"
The corner of William's mouth twitched; is that the main point!
In the next second, he suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"Something is coming." He stared at the corner.
The "Helpers" around him were also on alert.
"Phew... almost there!"
The boy panted heavily. At this time, he had already seen the green sign of the safety passage.
But after turning the corner, his eyes widened.
"Which wicked guy tore down the door!" He roared, but then froze in place.
The passage was full of monsters.
Compared to here, the two or three behind him seemed safer.
The boy's throat rolled.
Just when he thought he was going to see the "Lord" upstairs today, a familiar voice suddenly rang out among the monsters.
"Haggai?"
"So, is this the person Archbishop Borja asked you to invite?"
Haggai looked at William with strange eyes.
At this time, he had heard Caroline recount the process.
And the monsters chasing him earlier had also been successfully "recruited" now.
Recalling this priest's methods, Haggai was shocked.
Guiding monsters to kindness through words to purify the evil on them.
If he wasn't mistaken, this ability was named—Holy Word of the Lord.
Haggai had seen records of this on a holy relic.
"Legend has it that after the Great Flood, the 'Lord' sent a messenger to rebuild homes for mankind. To prevent the messenger from being disturbed by evil, the 'Lord' bestowed the Holy Word upon the messenger, enabling him to guide evil towards good through words..."
And in the history of the past thousand years, there were also records of several priests with this ability.
They had extremely high talents in theology and each led the Church through several great disasters in the human world.
"It is said that the true 'Holy Word' can make a Demon God go from Hell to Heaven."
Haggai looked at the monsters in front of him.
"But I haven't heard that 'Holy Word' possesses growth potential; did I see it wrong?"
Opposite, William was also sizing up the boy.
On the way here, Caroline had mentioned this person, saying he was a highly talented "Mediocrity."
Talent referred to the fact that Haggai was born with extremely vast and pure Holy Power.
William also perceived this through [Holy Eye].
The Holy Power in the other party's body was simply like a deep sea, almost more than double his own.
Mediocrity meant that Haggai couldn't use them.
Any holy artifact in his hands would become an ordinary object.
And Haggai couldn't set up powerful rituals by consuming Holy Power.
Just like an ornamental item, it would only automatically defend when encountering danger.
When he was young, Haggai was once considered a figure who could lead the Church in this era.
Even the Pope at that time personally baptized him.
But as he grew older, these praises turned into shackles.
Subjecting Haggai to a lot of ridicule.
However, he did not become discouraged but delved extremely deep into theology, and few people in the entire Church could compare with him.
After greeting, Haggai quickly told the two what he had done.
It turned out he had been looking for the offerings of the venue's magic array earlier.
"As long as the ritual is slightly modified, the effect of the magic array can be completely reversed."
Haggai stared at William.
"I have been worried about how to activate the ritual, but now there is finally a way."
William rubbed his chin: "You want to use the Holy Power in these monsters?"
Under the effect of [Atonement Persuasion], the evil on Bruce and his companions had been completely transformed into pure Holy Power.
"Oh, it seems your research in theology is not bad either." Haggai raised an eyebrow.
This involved the connection between powers of different attributes, which required studying a large number of theological classics to master.
"This is indeed a good method."
William nodded secretly; if it were him, he would probably do the same.
Haggai looked delighted.
But in the next second, William said again: "But not now."
