Blood dripped continuously.
Colby endured the pain and pressed his wrist against the barrier.
Then, with his wrist as the center, a deeper crimson spread in all directions.
"This is... Blood Corruption." Silas frowned tightly.
"Colby used a dark ritual?" Bent and Zar sounded surprised; they still didn't understand what was happening.
Silas nodded and explained to the two.
William also narrowed his eyes.
He had read about "Blood Corruption" in the classics.
This is a ritual originating from demons, usually used to increase the influence of evil in a certain place.
Unlike priests, humans who worship demons usually do not possess powerful strength.
But sotis they can trigger so "Disaster" level terror rituals, causing huge destruction in a short ti.
This is a "convenience" given to them by demons, of course, at the cost of the forr's life.
And at this mont, Colby was infecting this barrier with his whole body's blood.
Relying on [Holy Eye], William "saw" the evil aura born in Colby's blood.
Under the blessing of this power, the barrier was constantly being weakened, but only a small part of it.
To completely eliminate the barrier, at least a few hundred more people would be needed.
Sure enough, Colby's figure was already unstable, but the blood flowed without any stagnation.
"It seems the demon behind Colby is just testing the waters," William thought to himself.
At the sa ti, another evil force appeared inside the barrier.
It used Colby's blood to invade the latter's body in reverse.
For a ti, the old salesman's body began to beco rotten and foul-slling, and even so parts had begun to mutate.
William frowned tightly.
He perceived that Colby's vitality was draining constantly, while the powers of the two demons seed to have reached so kind of balance.
In this situation, it was hard to imagine what kind of monster would be created later.
William knew he had to act.
His figure disappeared from the spot instantly; even Silas didn't see clearly.
Not far from Colby, William appeared again.
At this ti, there was no blood color on the old man's face, and his mouth was open to an exaggerated angle.
William first threw holy artifacts around to set up a small protection array for himself.
After doing this, he took out a bottle of 20-year vintage Holy Water and threw it at Colby's mouth.
Mmph!
The glass bottle got stuck in the latter's throat and was shattered by the two evil forces in the next mont.
Gulp... gulp.
Colby was forced to drink all the Holy Water.
Then, the air was quiet for a second.
It seed that so balance was broken; Colby's blood suddenly began to boil.
A large amount of white steam rose from his skin.
"rciful Lord, please bless this poor human with Holy Light..."
Holding the Exorcism Bible, William summoned Holy Power to protect Colby's body.
The latter's body began to emit a faint white light, and the evil aura was imdiately isolated.
But this situation did not last too long.
A large amount of evil aura suddenly erged from Colby's body, constantly consuming the power of the Holy Light; obviously, the demon behind him took action.
The one inside the barrier did not want to show weakness either, but it was trying its best to protect that Holy Light.
Such a scene made the few people who rushed over look surprised.
They had never seen such a situation.
A question couldn't help but erge in their hearts—is the demon helping us?
On the other side, William frowned deeply.
At this ti, the Holy Power on Colby ca from that bottle of Holy Water, not summoned by the ritual.
In other words, William's prayer just now was in vain.
"What is going on?" He pondered constantly.
Colby was indeed a human. Even if he committed murder, arson, and all kinds of evil, he would only be rejected by Heaven after death.
At this mont, William was guiding this power; even a piece of dung could be covered in Holy Light.
Unless...
William's eyes lit up; he recalled a classic book he had read.
"Humans who sell their souls to demons cannot receive the Lord's protection. They have given up the glory of being favored, unless that contract is destroyed..."
There is only this one possibility!
William couldn't help but look at Colby a few more tis.
What kind of conditions could make the latter offer his soul personally?
The contract signed with the demon naturally would not be kept in human hands.
Therefore, William could not get it.
For a ti, the death of this old salesman seed unavoidable.
But then William suddenly rembered sothing.
"That bottle of Holy Water just now did work, which ans external Holy Power can be used..." He narrowed his eyes.
It was difficult for William to go to Hell to find the contract, but he had a pile of high-vintage Holy Water.
So he hesitated no more and imdiately grabbed two bottles of 10-year vintage Holy Water and threw them out.
Sounds of glass breaking rang out in the air from ti to ti.
The Holy Light on Colby's body beca brighter and brighter, even illuminating the nearby night.
The academy trio had already opened their mouths wide.
They could clearly perceive the Holy Power overflowing after the glass shattered.
That pure, peaceful feeling made people want to get close even from far away.
This must be high-vintage Holy Water! At least three years old, maybe even seven years!
Silas's throat rolled, and he had a new understanding of the strength of the family behind William.
While Bent thought—So extravagant, do you not plan to open that holy artifact shop anymore?
On the other side, the demon behind Colby obviously didn't expect this.
Seeing the power "bestowed" upon the slave being continuously purified, it also felt so "heartache."
After all, this power ca from another world. It took more than ten years to accumulate this much; every drop was extrely precious.
Although suppressed by the human world, the intensity of this power was less than one percent of its main body, it was not sothing ordinary priests could deal with.
At the sa ti, the power inside the barrier also stagnated significantly.
It actively left, and even stayed nearby for a while when passing by the residual Holy Water.
Under William's "Holy Water Bombardnt," the evil on Colby finally dissipated, and the blood flowing from his wrist gradually stopped.
And the surroundings returned to calm again.
But this was not once and for all.
Unless Colby was soaked in high-vintage Holy Water at all tis.
Otherwise, once he left, that evil power would still revive.
For example, at this mont, without the follow-up Holy Water, the previously accumulated Holy Light was leaving Colby's body quickly.
But at least the old man had regained consciousness.
"No! Can't stop!"
Seeing the ritual interrupted, panic clearly appeared in Colby's eyes, and he hurriedly reached for the dagger on the ground.
In the next second, Silas stopped him.
"What are you doing! Let go! I can't disappoint the Lord again!" Colby struggled hard.
"Hey, Mr. Colby, calm down."
At this ti, William also walked over.
"I advise you to be obedient, otherwise you won't get the dagger back until the sun rises."
The academy trio was stunned upon hearing this; is this the comfort after exorcism?
But in the "Psychological Counseling" class, the teacher didn't seem to teach this way.
And listening to Father William's aning, he intended to return the dagger to the old man?
Colby also looked puzzled; he recognized these young people.
"You don't understand, I have signed a contract with the True Lord. If I cannot complete the sacrificial ritual, my daughter... No! The whole town will be in danger!"
His voice carried a crying tone as he begged constantly.
"Sacrificial Ritual!"
Except for William, everyone else was shocked.
