Chapter 377 Visitors from the Holy See
Watching the huge cloud sword taking shape, Valak had no way to counter it and was about to escape into the space immediately.
Even though he was facing a powerful enemy, Cain couldn't help but look at him sideways.
He was the one who said the most harsh words just now, and now he is the first one to run away.
It was so straightforward and decisive that it was hard to imagine that the latter could speak such arrogant and arrogant words before.
However, Valak's escape that was supposed to go smoothly ended abruptly for unknown reasons.
He looked up in surprise, only to see Su Fan holding the Cloud Sword in one hand.
Just as the spiritual light in the latter's hand dissipated, he showed a cold smile to Valak.
It's him, he actually imprisoned space!
Valak's hair stood on end.
He had many brief battles with Su Fan, and each time he was able to exit safely by relying on his ability to freely travel through space.
From this, Valak was convinced that even if he could not defeat Su Fan, he could still save his life by relying on this advantage.
However, today, the advantage he relied on collapsed!
when? !
Valak naturally had no idea what Su Fan had gained from the sea of resentment.
The latter earned enough proficiency through endless fighting. After trying again and again, he successfully tore open the space and returned to the real world.
Combining the principles of the Sutra Sealing Talisman and his own space perception, he created a powerful talisman that prohibits objects in the target area from escaping through space.
Although it lasts only half a minute, it is enough.
"You don't have to run away this time."
Su Fan murmured and poured Demon Killer into Yunjian.
The long sword constructed of clouds and mist does not give people a sense of weakness. Instead, it looks formidable because of the demon-slaying power that Su Fan injected into it.
Feeling the imminence of death, Varak felt his heart beating wildly and his mind confused.
In his mind, he couldn't help but think of Malthus' ugly appearance when he begged Su Fan for mercy.
As a demon god, it is really ugly to beg for mercy from ordinary humans who are not favored by God. Valak really cannot understand why the other party would behave like this.
It's not until you experience it yourself that you can feel the fear that can drive you crazy.
It turns out that when death comes, even the devil will panic.
Now Valak no longer had the calm and evil attitude of persecuting Peggy's family and playing tricks on Ron. He, who was so cunning and cunning, suddenly found that he could not think of any way to get out of here.
In contrast, there is Cain on one side.
The latter's face was calm, and although his body couldn't stop shaking, he still held his head high.
At this point, Cain had to admit that his plan had failed.
But he did not choose to sit still and wait for death. Instead, he tried his best to accumulate powerful magic that he had never cast before.
The substantial magic power was condensed into a blood-colored ball, which was continuously compressed until it reached the limit.
The gushing torrent of blood headed towards the Yunjian falling from the sky!
It has nothing to do with the subtle changes in magic, and has abandoned all magical techniques. Now it is the most primitive wrestling!
The reactions of the two demon gods were completely opposite. Su Fan from Tianji remembered Cain's behavior in Genesis that he had seen.
After killing his brother Abel, he refused to admit guilt to Jehovah who asked about his brother's whereabouts, and continued to quibble to the end.
To say to the God in the Bible, "Am I his keeper?" is such a rebellious thing.
Cain, an angel - a human - a demon, has gone through three stages. His magic power is so strong that it is so strong that he can hold on without being directly annihilated.
But Valak on one side was not so lucky.
Because he had one arm cut off by Su Fan, his strength continued to drain away, and coupled with the continuous blows he suffered, his spirit and body were extremely weak.
He, who lost his mind and fighting spirit, was hit hard by the power leaked by Yunjian without any surprise!
The special power of slaying demons destroyed the vitality in his body.
Varak, the notorious ghost nun who ran rampant across Europe, turned into ashes after Cain's death.
At this moment, Cain seemed to hear a sigh.
Then his consciousness suddenly fell into darkness.
Su Fan watched as Yunjian swallowed Cain, and the latter's figure completely disappeared in the sky.
With the disappearance of the demon gods, all the dark clouds hanging over the heads of all things on the earth dispersed, revealing the orange sky in the inner city of London not far away.
The powerful enemy fell upon him, but there was not much relief on Su Fan's face.
At that moment, an extremely disharmonious feeling suddenly emerged in his heart.
But after careful inspection, nothing unusual was found.
But Su Fan didn't stay there too long.
The demon who activated the magic circle is gone, but the red light beam has not disappeared yet.
If you leave it alone, there is no guarantee that nothing will go wrong.
But just when Su Fan set off to go to the first church to wipe out the blood of the fallen saints, he suddenly discovered that they were extinguished one after another.
Although Ron also has the ability to teleport, he is unable to move long distances so frequently.
There are still people who use all this.
Su Fan traveled slowly in the air while using his spiritual consciousness to explore.
Then I saw many clergymen burying the dead in the church. Their sincere prayers and beliefs successfully dispelled the demonic power that originally permeated the church.
[The Vatican actually sent someone here. 】
In Britain, as in America, the majority of those who believe in God are Protestants.
Believing in the authority of the Bible, they determined that as long as their faith was strong enough, they could establish direct communication with the Spirit of God through Jesus without going through church clergy as an intermediary or performing overly complicated rituals.
This also makes the Protestant church look particularly poor compared to the Orthodox church.
Therefore, Su Fan could recognize the origin of this group of people at a glance.
In fact, he complained in his heart more than once about the slowness and inefficiency of the Holy See's actions.
The time from collecting evidence to reviewing and approving can range from as little as a week to as much as several months.
The lives of ordinary people haunted by evil spirits are at stake. How can they wait?
By the time they sent people over, green shoots could be pulled out from the ground above the tomb.
Fortunately, this time they finally responded quickly and solved the aftermath.
When Su Fan saw someone dealing with it below, he stopped landing and looked for Ron in the place where the light had previously lit up.
At the beginning of the battle, he was still able to pay attention to the latter's movements, but as the battle became more intense, Su Fan had to concentrate on the enemy and lost track of him.
Fortunately, after a short search, Su Fan found her in a dilapidated church.
But what really surprised Su Fan was the woman standing next to Ron, waving happily to him.
The other party's eyes were full of joy, sparkling like cold stars in the night sky.
Theresia.
A greedy nun from the Romanian countryside. Since killing Malthus, he has not seen him again.
She and Ron discovered Su Fan standing in the sky almost at the same time.
But unlike the latter, Theresia's reaction was more excited.
This can be seen from his feet that are ready to move but have to restrain their desire to jump.
Because in addition to Ron, there are other clergymen in charge of this dilapidated church, and there is also an old man wearing a red robe and holding a scepter who is directing the work.
His identity is that of a powerful cardinal.
The old man discovered Su Fan only slightly later than the two girls.
He didn't move too much, just showed a friendly smile to Su Fan in the night sky, and continued to devote himself to the scene management.
Su Fan did not choose to appear in public, but motioned Ron and Theresia to a slightly secluded place before landing.
"How is your health?"
The first person to greet him was Ron.

Perhaps it was an occupational disease of being a doctor, so the first thing she asked about was not whether the demon god had been eliminated, but was worried about Su Fan's physical condition.
Others can draw conclusions through telekinesis, but Su Fan has a barrier around him that resists exploration, so that if Ron wants to know, he can only ask or touch.
"A little tired, but that's okay."
Seeing Su Fan's understatement, Ron was relieved, and then briefly told about Ethan's cooperation with him to destroy the magic circle.
And when he knew that Ethan left without asking for any reward, Su Fan knew what he was thinking.
Ethan showed his kindness, hoping to get some feedback from Su Fan.
Not to mention friendship, even a little affection is enough.
"The people over there happened to contact me. I'd like to excuse you."
As Ron spoke, his eyes glanced in Theresia's direction from time to time, and then quickly left the scene.
After he left, only Su Fan and Theresa were left facing each other.
"Long time no see, Sue."
Theresia took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence.
The excitement just now seemed to suddenly disappear from Theresia's body. She held back and restrained herself from laughing too silly, but her joy was beyond words.
"Long time no see. How are you doing in the Holy See?"
A slight smile appeared on Su Fan's lips.
Apart from being a bit greedy, this nun is a model of a clergyman in other aspects.
Be devout in faith, risk your own life to save others, be tolerant and understanding towards others...
His impression in Su Fan's mind can be classified as very good.
"Very good, everyone is very friendly to me, and Bishop Fergus is also very nice...it's the old gentleman in red."
"So, you are a real nun now?"
"No, the ceremony date has been postponed."
Theresia shook her head slightly.
"I don't know the specific reason. Maybe it's because I have to travel around a lot in the future, and as a formal nun, it's not convenient for me to move around."
Since cooperating with Su Fan to successfully kill Malthus, Theresia has become a star-like figure within the Holy See.
He even entered the special department within the Holy See that deals with evil spirit incidents.
Although Theresia didn't like the sudden fame and was quite uneasy about the new working environment, all these worries soon disappeared among the other nuns.
The exorcism business always involves traveling to different areas and traveling around, so I can bring back snacks from different areas.
And these were all displayed in Thearesia's mouth without exception.
Su Fan looked at the other person up and down.
The figure doesn't seem to have changed much from before, and the hands and feet are as slender as in the memory... huh?
After noticing the abnormality, Su Fan quickly withdrew his gaze.
Information related to secondary development emerged subconsciously in his mind, but he dismissed it on his own.
The two did not stand still, but walked along the path while talking.
After being separated for a long time, Theresia seemed to suddenly become talkative. Before Su Fan asked, she told the reason why she and the bishop were here, just like pouring beans.
The devil continued to be active in London for a year, and many of the things that were amiss had long aroused the suspicion of many knowledgeable people.
Faced with requests for exorcisms that came like snowflakes, the Holy See finally sent personnel to deal with them after making sufficient preparations.
"The power of the Holy See comes from people's faith. Once the exorcism fails, or the incident is not true, it will greatly shake people's confidence, especially in modern society, where news spreads quickly..."
"Last time, a priest was deceived by a prank because he did not do enough investigation. According to Bishop Fergus, after that, priests in many areas reported that the devil was more difficult to deal with than before."
"But it's not that the devil has become stronger, but that we have become weaker."
"It took two years to return to the previous level. Since then, the Holy See has been very cautious in handling this aspect."
Su Fan pondered after listening.
Logically speaking, what church exorcists use comes from the power of God.
Although people's faith also has bonuses, it is ultimately not as powerful as the source itself.
It can even be said that in the face of the power given by God, it is dispensable.
The current situation in the Holy See has almost confirmed that there is a problem at the source of faith.
And this can almost explain why the Holy See did not intend to publicly thank Su Fan at that time.
The masses' faith is already pitifully small, so it cannot withstand diversion.
"I also asked the bishop about those who died because of delays in cumbersome review procedures, and Bishop Fergus quoted what the Pope said at the time."
"It is heartbreaking that victims lost their lives due to the cumbersome process. But if the Holy See loses its power, even those who can survive the review process will not be able to save."
This topic is quite heavy, and Theresa also sighed when she talked about it.
When Su Fan heard this, he was noncommittal.
If it is true what Theresa said, this is a helpless move by the Holy See.
But Su Fan himself has never been afraid to speculate the worst malice on others.
Therefore, I have not ruled out the possibility that the Pope and the Holy See have something to hide and have ulterior motives.
"Bishop Fergus and everyone came to London yesterday and immediately went to inspect the murder scene where the devil was at work."
"But he is not as good at reasoning as Su, so he has never been able to figure out the devil's purpose. It wasn't until the light pillar appeared tonight that he finally understood it and came to deal with it quickly."
