Chapter 162: Meeting Hans Again
After the dust dissipated, a huge figure appeared at the door.
Abraham narrowed his eyes.
"The Corrosion Walker summoned by Samael looks a bit different..." he thought to himself.
Seeing the monster rushing over, Abraham did not move.
At this time, several humans polluted by runes blocked in front of him.
With a crash, the former were all sent flying.
"Samael."
Abraham was expressionless.
"I saw it."
A figure appeared from the side of the podium.
"Actually transforming the enemy's means for their own use; has the Church degenerated to this point?"
Samael sounded disdainful, but he sensed the condition of the Corrosion Walkers through the magic array.
"Why are there so few left?" He frowned.
Previously, Samael had been focusing on maintaining the Blood Curse Arts.
To make the blood sacrifices reach the most perfect state, he had to make the blood of those children boil fully.
Therefore, he allowed these Corrosion Walkers to move freely.
But at this moment, the summoned creatures on the periphery had all disappeared.
He stared closely at the door, wanting to see the mastermind clearly.
But what greeted him was a tide of monsters.
Inside the Passage.
"Hey, that guy wouldn't want to steal the spotlight alone, would he?"
Haggai commanded Bruce and his partners while looking at the three people beside him.
Not long ago, William proposed to rescue the children trapped in the magic array alone and asked Haggai and others to attract attention at the front.
The latter was naturally unwilling; after all, Borja had entrusted him with the task of cracking the magic array.
As the most outstanding theologian in the Vatican for a century, how could he be outshone by a local priest?
When Haggai expressed his inner thoughts, he was immediately opposed by everyone.
"Father Haggai, an outstanding priest like you should command us at the front..."
"Haggai, stop throwing a tantrum; I just picked up a toy car model..."
After refusing Caroline's "toy" invitation, Haggai finally decided to stay.
And William specifically instructed not to rush to transform the power of the magic array before the children were rescued.
"Really, how did he suddenly become the one calling the shots?"
Haggai pouted and ordered another monster to rush into the venue.
Backstage.
William came to a door.
He observed the vicinity with [Holy Eye] and confirmed there was no danger before opening the door.
Creak.
The waiting area was very quiet, with only the sound of William's shoes stepping on the wooden floor.
"Are you that friend of Lorraine's?"
At this time, a familiar voice sounded from the side.
William turned around.
He saw Bishop Hans sitting on a bench, with a little girl kneeling by his leg.
There were some bruises on the girl's face, and a faint footprint on the clothes on her chest.
Seeing William staring at her, she hurriedly shrank her body inward, her eyes full of fear.
"Bishop Hermann." Surprise flashed in William's eyes.
"That's great! How is the situation outside? Is anyone injured?"
Hans sounded excited.
"Oh my God, a group of heretics attacked the venue and trapped me and Mila here..."
He looked worried, narrating what had happened earlier.
It was just the "Hans Version."
William listened silently, then said: "How can I get you out?"
Hans was stunned upon hearing this; he didn't expect the other party to bring this up immediately.
"Uh... those heretics set up small isolation arrays around."
He pointed to several specific locations.
"Why don't you check on the children trapped in the sacrificial array first?"
Hans spoke the rhetoric prepared long ago.
William didn't rush over; he had long perceived the energy fluctuations there.
Although the power of the sacrificial ritual was strong, there was still a force of Holy Power confronting it inside.
Although not much was left, it could still hold on for a while.
And the reason he asked these questions was to disrupt this old man's conversation rhythm.
He checked the locations indicated by the other party and indeed found several ritual implements.
"It looks very unstable; rash destruction will lead to power imbalance." William rubbed his chin.
But with the "Reversal Method" Haggai taught him earlier, it wasn't difficult to crack.
However, William still "frowned tightly."
"What's wrong? Is there any difficulty?" Hans asked anxiously as expected.
"My ability is limited, so I can only save one person," William said.
Hearing this, a trace of ferocity flashed in Hans's eyes, but in the next second, he returned to normal.
"If that's the case, then let Mila..."
"Bishop Hermann, I must save you first."
"Hmm?"
Hans thought he heard wrong.
"You are a clergy member, naturally protected by the Lord. When breaking the magic array, the damage of Holy Power to you can be minimized," William said seriously.
"Oh? I didn't expect you to have such skills."
Hans was happy inside, but didn't show it at all on his face.
Hesitation flashed on William's face, and he said: "When I was in the Vatican, I once studied with Father Haggai..."
Hans looked enlightened. After hearing the name "Haggai," he dispelled the doubts in his heart.
Ordinary church priests wouldn't know such a distinguished person.
"Then... sigh... alright."
Hans nodded helplessly.
"Mila, you'll have to suffer a little longer."
He reached out to touch Mila's head. The latter lowered her head, trembling all over.
"This child has been frightened too much today." Hans looked self-reproachful.
William watched this scene calmly without any expression.
"Let's begin." Hans stood up.
William nodded and immediately placed several Holy Statues on the nearby ground.
"Is this... Ritual Exorcism?"
Hans raised an eyebrow.
"You are so young yet have mastered such a ritual; your future is limitless."
He was praising one second, but then asked immediately:
"By the way, how is Ed's recovery? It must be hard for Lorraine to take care of him alone."
William's "body trembled" upon hearing this.
Hans certainly observed this anomaly, but he didn't speak.
A moment later, William said in a deep voice: "Both of them died."
"What!" Hans exclaimed in shock. "What happened!"
"A group of cultists attacked the hospital. When I arrived, they were already gone."
William clenched his fists.
"Later, the news broadcast mentioned that the City Hall also encountered an accident. Since you said in the ward that day that you would also participate, I rushed over."
Hans was speechless for a long time upon hearing this, and finally sighed: "Sigh, may their souls go to the resting place."
He crossed himself on his chest, completely dispelling the last suspicion.
Before long, William completed the ritual arrangement.
"Bishop Hermann, I will construct a 'Passage' later, but it can only last for a very short time. Please move quickly," he instructed.
"I understand." Hans nodded with a serious face.
William held the crucifix in his hand, reciting the prayer for reversing the array while driving the Holy Power.
Soon white light lit up on the ground, and many evil auras also emerged around Hans and Mila.
The white light soon intertwined with the evil aura.
Under the fluctuation of the two forces, a narrow passage appeared out of thin air.
"Now!"
Actually, William didn't need to remind him. At the moment the passage lit up, Bishop Hans kicked Mila away and jumped into it quickly.
"Your kindness saved my life; how can I thank you." Hans smiled.
But as soon as he touched the boundary of the magic array, he was blocked by an evil force.
"What is going on?" Hans frowned immediately.
He raised his head, only to see William walk straight into the original isolation array.
"Is your name Mila?" William reached out his hand. "I'm here to save you."
Mila stared at him for a while, then shrank back again.
"Hey! Priest, what the hell is going on!" Hans sounded unfriendly.
William turned his head upon hearing this: "Can't you even understand this? You've been tricked."
