American Exorcism Male God

In the forest, Hunter hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to make a move on Anna.

He had confirmed over and over again that there were no ambushes around, and he planned to leave immediately after retrieving the Cursed Item.

Just as he stepped out of the darkness, he was attacked by the female Deformed Person, which infuriated him. He couldn't manage to chase down a weak woman, and now she seemed ready to go in for the kill.

He knew there was no reasoning with these mentally disturbed Deformed People, so he efficiently dealt with her.

While he was occupied, Anna had already run far away, but Hunter was not at all flustered. He suddenly picked up speed and took out the pistol at his waist.

The sound of the gun rang out, but it didn't hit Anna; the bullet grazed over her head.

Hunter grew more frustrated—she had stumbled over a haystack and inadvertently avoided the bullet fired at her.

He aimed again, and this time she fell to the ground. Surely she couldn't escape his bullet now, right?

But he suddenly froze, as she actually laughed, a smile so sweet it brought to mind sunflowers under the spring sun.

Hunter remained unmoved; he had already dedicated everything to the Holy Lord, and no matter how beautiful the woman or how sweet her smile, it couldn't cause any turmoil in his heart.

Just as he was about to pull the trigger, his body tensed up—he realized something was wrong because the girl wasn't laughing at him.

Following the direction of the girl's gaze, he saw someone hiding in the shadows.

"So, it's a trap after all?"

He immediately scanned his surroundings but couldn't spot any ambushes. Could it be that the ambusher was exceptionally well-hidden?

In the moment of his distraction, Anna had been rescued, and the person only glanced at him before leaving.

Could it be that it wasn't a trap? Was it all just him being overly cautious?

The look in that person's eyes came back to Hunter—it was a "take care of yourself" kind of look.

The sound of rapid footsteps approached, and Hunter saw who it was. His tensed body gradually relaxed—it was only the Deformed People.

He breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't an ambush by the government.

He had been discovered by the government before and had prepared himself for his soul to return to the embrace of the Holy Spirit. To his surprise, the government had played the long game, which actually gave him a chance to escape.

But soon, Hunter sensed something amiss, because the Deformed People didn't seem to be after him, but were rather being driven by something else.

At first, he wasn't concerned, but his expression quickly changed.

Behind the Deformed People, a "skeleton monster" was drawing closer, its flesh nearly all fallen off and surrounded by persistent ashes.

"Why would this place have such a monster?" Hunter could not comprehend.

He turned and tried to flee. Although unsure of the monster's true strength, its ominous aura gave him an unsettling feeling.

However, before he could take two steps, gunshots suddenly erupted. He instinctively dodged, avoiding the first bullet, but the second grazed his thigh.

An absolute master of marksmanship!

Hunter quickly realized this. The shooter knew the first shot wouldn't kill him, so it was merely to "fix his position" for the second shot, which was the shooter's real intent.

The shooter didn't want him to leave!

The skeleton monster was closing in; it was originally chasing the Deformed People, but suddenly turned and lunged at Hunter.

Hunter didn't fire his gun, well aware that ordinary bullets were ineffective against the monster. Instead, he rummaged in his pocket and threw a glass vial at the skeleton monster.

The glass vial shattered, and red powder spilled over the monster. To Hunter's shock, the powder, capable of corroding alloy, had no effect on the monster— as though it were mere dust by the roadside.

Hunter's face went pale, then he turned and ran.

In the shadow of the woods, Xu Yi aimed his gun at Hunter, he couldn't possibly let the other escape, after all, he was not an easy fish to catch, and the other's body was linked to the clues of the Ram Cult.

He suddenly lowered his gun, staring at Hunter in surprise. Hunter, who was originally ready to leave, made an abrupt return and charged at the transformed Deformed Person.

In his astonishment, Xu Yi felt a surge of malevolent energy from the Evil God's authority on his body.

He sensed the presence of another Evil God, a presence all too familiar, it was the great Evil God behind the Church of the Ram.

Once more, the gaze of the Evil God manifested, but it wasn't directed at Xu Yi, instead at the transformed Deformed Person.

After a moment, the scrutiny of the Evil God vanished, and Hunter's face, excited to the point of bulging veins, was fixated on the transformed Deformed Person, eyes filled with immense longing.

Xu Yi was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized.

"The great Evil God behind the Church of the Ram is also after the transformed Deformed Person!"

His heart grew slightly agitated, this turn of events was completely unexpected, had he known this would happen, he might not have thought of "borrowing a knife to kill."

But it was too late for regrets now.

At the same time, his curiosity about the transformed Deformed Person grew, along with his longing.

Could anything the great Evil God coveted be Common?

Hunter tore open his shirt, revealing his entire upper body, which was etched with black Spell, as if shrouded in black thorns. Read new chapters at empire

Most eerie of all was the chest area, where there was a ram's head, not large, only the size of a fist, but lifelike, with two formidable ram horns protruding.

Hunter recited an unknown Spell, and drew out a dagger, violently slashing his own chest, already covered with scars from the blade.

Blood poured onto the black ram's head, which, previously with eyes tightly shut, suddenly sprang open, its cold pupils devoid of any emotion.

Blood dripped from the chest to the ground.

The moment the blood touched the earth, it burst into an intense glow of blood-red light, spreading in all directions and in the blink of an eye it formed a massive Array that enveloped the transformed Deformed Person.

Xu Yi pulled the trigger, and the specially made Exorcism Bullet flew from the chamber towards Hunter's head.

The bullet penetrated the Array, but the blood-light within the Array steadily eroded the bullet, and before reaching Hunter, the bullet had already dissolved completely, turning into silvery metallic droplets.

Xu Yi's expression shifted, if metal could dissolve, the human body had even less chance.

The transformed Deformed Person seemed unaffected, with ashes fluttering within its empty eye sockets, it took large strides towards Hunter.

Hunter's face turned pale, not expecting that the Array blessed by the Holy Spirit would fail to subdue the monster.

He hesitated for a moment, then reached towards the ram's head on his chest, which automatically opened its mouth, swallowing his hand whole.

When his hand reappeared, it was rotting and unrecognizable, but in it was something new, a small dagger not even as big as a palm, with a blade only as long as a finger.

Xu Yi's expression shifted, he could feel a hint of Divinity on that dagger.

Not all items with Divinity are Exorcism Holy Relics, for instance, the Samurai Armor Xu Yi collected, which possessed only faint Divinity.

The Divinity of the dagger was far stronger than that of the Samurai Armor, yet still inferior to Saint O'Hagan's, it could only be reluctantly considered a "Semi-Holy Artifact."

Regardless, an item with Divinity was far from what a Common Exorcism Artifact could compare to.

The transformed Deformed Person's flesh had completely fallen off, leaving only a skeletal frame, the bones were not the white of someone freshly dead but an ominous gray, with dense ashes fluttering through the skeleton.

On the spine, fine Vines traces clung, they were the Nest of the Evil God parasitic on the transformed Deformed Person.

The transformed Deformed Person stepped back as if in fear of the Semi-Holy Artifact.

Xu Yi, however, was stunned, for through the Nest of the Evil God, the message conveyed was not fear but desire, a full-blown longing!
