"Purpose, purpose, you humans always like to ask such questions."
Valakh rolled his eyes.
"Can't I just co for a stroll?"
William pulled out the cork upon hearing this, looking like he was about to pour the Holy Water out.
"Okay ok! Relax, human." The demon hurriedly reached out to stop him.
It pondered for a mont, then gave a surprising answer.
"Actually, I am not Valak."
Seeing the priest opposite raise his hand again, the demon hurriedly said: "My na is Valakh, just very similar to that guy's na."
William frowned: "Then why did you impersonate him?"
"Impersonate?"
This sentence seed to make Valakh quite angry.
"Who wants to impersonate that old pervert? Living for so many years and still dressing up as a child."
"Aren't you also possessing a boy..." William opened his mouth but finally didn't say it.
"I am an orthodox demon of Hell; I already had a rank before those angels fell."
"Once when I descended to the human world, I happened to encounter that group of ignoramuses along the diterranean coast."
Speaking of this, Valakh seed a little regretful.
"A lousy place actually has more than a dozen languages. There are clearly letters in words but they deliberately don't pronounce them. That is the place the Vatican should govern..."
Now William finally understood.
It turned out that Valakh once introduced himself when he appeared, but due to the accent of the locals, it was misrepresented, and he beca the stand-in for another demon ever since.
"Why are you not afraid of Holy Water and very interested in it?"
"This is the second question." Valakh stared at William's hand.
William shrugged, then poured out half of the Holy Water, and threw the rest to the demon opposite.
"Hey! Human, what does this an!" Valakh frowned but still reached out to take it.
"When did I say one bottle of Holy Water for one question?" William asked back.
The atmosphere in the room was suddenly a bit tense, and no one dared to make a sound.
In the next mont.
"Hahaha..."
Valakh laughed out loud.
"Truly despicable! This point is quite like a demon."
As he spoke, he drank the bottle of Holy Water, and then showed a look of painful enjoynt.
"Now, the second question." William took out another glass bottle.
"Really, human curiosity is endless."
Valakh snorted coldly.
"Demons hate the power represented by 'That One', but I am an exception."
Speaking of this, he added another sentence.
"Calling the Na directly will bring a lot of trouble; I hope you understand."
"In short, Holy Water will cause harm to other demons, but for , it has unparalleled spiritual enjoynt, just like certain special fetishes of you humans."
Valakh closed his eyes, savoring the experience of the Holy Water.
A mont later, he spoke again:
"Hell is a boring place. Magma, darkness, and those low-level creatures that only eat each other, so demons often run out."
"Facing the human world full of surprises, that group of guys is keen on collecting souls just to improve their rank. It's so boring..."
Valakh looked disdainful.
"Possession, ntal torture, taking the soul when the human collapses—this has almost beco the consensus of all demons!"
He roared.
"Depraved! Just like that group of angels!"
"Savoring human emotions is high-level fun. When you show a little power, those guys will bow down and beg for your rcy."
Valakh looked at William as he spoke.
"Do you know, back in the 30s, humans actually treated vampires, those scumbags, as demons. At that ti, I dressed up as a wandering vampire and even hooked up with a nun from the Church..."
This demon recounted his romantic anecdotes in the human world.
William felt a little embarrassed inside; even in Hell, this guy was a weirdo.
Seeing that the other party finished speaking, he pulled out the cork again, intending to pour out half more.
"Hey! You guy, even demons know that waste is shaful!"
Valakh stomped out the cigarette butt.
"How about this, you ask another one."
William shrugged, stopped his hand movent, and asked another question he was curious about.
"Why did you occupy another demon's territory?"
"Occupy? That guy Malphas just sat his butt down a step earlier than ; does this place beco his?"
William raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
The "Malphas" ntioned by the other party was also one of the 72 Demons of Solomon, ranking 39th.
Legend has it that the Demon God Malphas appears in the image of a crow and can endow believers with the ability to "see through enemy intentions."
"You seem to hold a grudge against the Demon Gods?" William took the opportunity to ask.
In his mory, there was no existence nad "Valakh" among the 72 Demons of Solomon.
"Hey! That group of guys clamors every day to attack the human world to avenge the 'enslavent'."
"But back then, they clearly voluntarily obeyed Lord Berial's orders to gain rank."
Valakh's tone was disdainful.
"Once a war is launched, Heaven will definitely control the authority of humanity. At that ti, there will be high-ranking gods stationed everywhere, and I will have to spend hundreds of years boringly in Hell again."
"Of course, being mistaken for Valak also makes very unhappy!"
William thought to himself: "Actually a demon who advocates peace..."
Aside, the academy trio was shocked listening.
These were all personal narrations from a demon, not recorded in the official history text.
For the Church, such voices were all judged as "delusions."
If a priest spread them privately, they would definitely commit the cri of "impurity" and be branded as a heretic.
But sohow... the three of them felt these words were facts.
"So you ca to spoil Malphas's good deed?" William probed.
"What good deed can he do? Just collecting souls to accumulate power for the 'Descent'." Valakh snorted coldly.
"I thought your presence would invalidate the ritual," William said casually.
"Hey, no need to provoke . This is just a small question; I can tell you for free, just like those extra questions answered just now."
Valakh chuckled lightly.
William narrowed his eyes; the demon in front of him was not as simple as he appeared.
He threw the Holy Water over imdiately, and then gave an extra bottle as a gift.
"You are good, human, much smarter than those old n in the Church."
Valakh's eyes were aningful.
"Answering your previous question..."
"Although I don't want to admit it, my power can only stall the sacrificial ritual, but cannot destroy it completely..."
According to this demon's aning, although he couldn't tamper with the ritual.
As long as Valakh stayed in this territory, Malphas could not complete his "Descent" plan.
Demons can only interfere with the real world with spiritual power, so Colby beca one of the latter's few ans.
This was also the reason why the old man was used repeatedly.
Hearing this, a bold plan erged in William's mind.
"Interested in discussing a cooperation?" He raised his head, his eyes flickering strangely.
"Oh? You want to make a deal with a demon?"
Valakh sounded surprised.
"I'm never keen on those, but for you, I can guarantee there are no traps in the contract, as long as..."
He signaled the empty bottle in his hand.
William shook his head: "I believe in the Lord and will never sign any demon contract."
"Then there's nothing to discuss."
Valakh stretched.
"I'm also a little bored. For the sake of the Holy Water, I'll cooperate with you to complete the exorcism task. Co on."
He opened his arms, signaling William could start anyti.
But William took out another bottle of Holy Water from his bag, pulled out the cork, and opened the bottle mouth towards Valakh.
This demon was stunned, then suddenly widened his eyes.
