Volume 7 Coral Chapter 631 Even the flames fear Him
"Pastor Jordan? What is this?!"
The old butler Rolf asked in surprise.
Several maids nearby were stunned with fear.
In this land called "Beretta Continent", the Church of Redemption is the heaven, the supreme authority, and its words are final. Even the king has to be in awe of the church, let alone the lower-class people like them.
"I have been in Blackhorn Territory for thirteen years. I can say that Neil Lucius is a child that I have watched grow up. I know him very well... I also know that Miller Dutt took advantage of Lord Birch's death to forcibly take over the territory and put the only remaining bloodline of the Lucius family under house arrest in the name of taking care of him."
Pastor Jordan said this while holding the Bible in his hands, looking ashamed.
"Birch Lucius is a good lord, but as a church pastor, I have no right to interfere in worldly fights... Neil, I am happy that you can complete your revenge and regain your territory, but it is absolutely impossible for you to gain such power in two years, or even in just a few months..."
He looked straight at Neil, who was sitting alone at the head of the table, and said earnestly and patiently:
"Child, please answer me truthfully, have you ever had any contact with the devil... or even made a deal?"
Neil first glanced at the four expressionless Redemption Priests. They were standing apart, forming an encirclement formation, implicitly blocking any possible direction for him to escape.
The aura emanating from these priests was deep and powerful, far surpassing that of the knights, and Neil felt greatly pressured.
He secretly guessed that perhaps these priests were extraordinary beings who were even stronger than himself. According to the "Path of Holy Fire", they were Sequence Eight!
Then Neil looked up at Pastor Jordan in the center.
He secretly felt guilty towards the old pastor, but on the surface he shook his head and said in a surprised tone:
“Pastor Jordan, I have never been in contact with a demon, are you mistaken?”
The old pastor's original expression gradually became more solemn.
He couldn't help but think that Neil might have fallen deeply into the devil's trap, and would rather lie and conceal the truth even when facing redemption pastors like himself.
The situation seems very serious!
Pastor Jordan still did not give up on redeeming Neil. He said in a deep voice:
"Child, the power of demons is illusory. They use some strange means to make you mistakenly believe that it belongs to you. In fact, they are just deceiving and using you for evil purposes... Demons are best at disguising themselves and bewitching people. You must not give in..."
"Jordan, that's enough."
Another middle-aged pastor interrupted.
His expression was indifferent, and his eyes were fixed on the blond boy sitting in the main seat.
"You only need to use the candlelight ritual to test it once or twice, and you will know the answer. There is no need to waste any more time."
"Reverend Emil, please give me some more time. If Neil can be helped to turn back from his wrong path, the success rate of the exorcism ceremony will be higher..."
Pastor Jordan said in a deep voice.
However, at this time, Neil looked calm and said to the five pastors:
"My Lord God's servants, it's alright, please start the test now... I won't resist."
"Neil..."
The old Jordanian pastor was stunned.
The other four pastors were also somewhat surprised.
They could see that the young man's calmness was not fake.
Could it be... that I really made a mistake?
Neil Lucius was not possessed by a demon at all?
How else to explain the fact that in just two years, or even in just a few months, his strength had skyrocketed, from an ordinary boy to a strong man who could easily kill a knight?
"In that case, let's get started."
Although the pastors were surprised, they would not give up.
Four redemption priests slowly walked forward and stood around the chair where Neil was sitting, less than one meter apart.
As the old pastor Jordan sighed, the four pastors simultaneously spread out the Bible in their hands and held a burning candle.
They all chanted:
"Fire shines on the earth, and shadows reveal evil thoughts. Hate me for punishment, and love my commandments."
laugh!
Four wax drops were imprinted on Neil's forehead and cheeks from four index fingers.
Neil immediately felt a burning sensation coming towards him.
My vision was distorted.
It was as if there was an invisible flame burning in front of me, illuminating me and exploring my body.
Somehow, Neil also felt nervous at this moment.
Although he had great respect for His Excellency Snake, the Church of Redemption represented the divine authority of this world after all. The concept of unparalleled power was deeply engraved in Neil's heart...
Neil didn't have enough confidence that he could keep it secret.
The old butler Rolf and the maids who were watching from all sides had expressions of shock on their faces, staring at the scene intently.
After listening to what the pastors said just now, they roughly understood what was going on.
Lord Neil is possessed by a demon?
This... is too horrifying!
Just as Neil was planning how to take the initiative and escape in case the matter was exposed.
He suddenly heard the middle-aged pastor named "Emile" in front of him let out a light exclamation.
"There was no reaction at all..."
"He is not possessed by a demon?"
Another priest whispered.
"No! He has the power of fire in his body!"
"What?!"
"Holy Fire Path Sequence Nine! He is a Dancer!"
The five pastors present were all shocked.
Suddenly, Emir turned to look at Jordan and said half questioningly and half in shock and anger:
"Jordan Dilan, how dare you go against the teachings and secretly pass on the power of our God to outsiders?!"
"I don't!"
Pastor Jordan frowned and said in a deep voice:
"No matter how much I sympathize with Neil, I will not go against the teachings."
The Emir wanted to say something, but another priest said:
"I don't believe Jordan would do that."
"Then how do we explain this young man's situation? Could it be that he suddenly realized the power of our God and became an extraordinary person?"
"Use divine magic. It can not only thoroughly test whether there is a demon in his body, but also find out where the power of fire comes from..."
At this time, an old pastor who had never spoken spoke.
The other four fell silent.
Divine Art...
It is a secret secret of the Church of Redemption, and it is also a high-end supernatural power that requires the use of certain "holy objects" to be exerted. The "divine magic" mentioned by the old pastor specifically refers to the "Shadow Burning Method" that is suitable for the current situation. Although it will not harm the person being tested, the process is extremely painful.
In fact, the priests don't want to use it unless it is necessary.
"well……"
Pastor Jordan sighed.
He also knew the seriousness of the matter. If Neil's matter was not explained clearly, the final result would definitely be "redemption by burning at the stake."
“My child, please trust the church.”
The old pastor just said in a deep voice.
Neil still sat upright in his chair and nodded calmly.
"It's okay, my Lord God's servants, please do what you want."
bass!
The four pastors looked at each other, all with solemn expressions.
They raised the candles in their hands and held them together. The four flames merged together and turned into a more vigorous flame.
The burst of light even overshadowed the light of the torches in the hall on the first floor.
Pastor Jordan took out a colorful feather from the Bible and put it on the flame to burn. At the same time, he took a deep breath and said solemnly:
"In the name of the candlestick goddess 'Stiko', I hereby sentence you, Neil Lucius, that your shadow will tell the servants of God the whole truth!"
boom!!
Suddenly, the candles held by the four priests suddenly rose up, twisted, and even swayed like manic dancers.
They were horrified.
In the sight, the flame did not dare to approach Neil Lucius's shadow. As if it was afraid, it bent in the air and bypassed the black shadow!
"It's true...Everything Jordan Dylan guessed is true!"
"There is definitely a demon hidden within this young man!"
"And he is definitely not an ordinary existence. Even fire is afraid of him?!"
The priests stared at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
"What kind of terrifying existence is this?"
"Could it be that he is a high-ranking demon from 'Sky Island' or 'Wasteland', or even a powerful demon?!"
"This matter must be reported to the church!"
"But before that, we must not allow Him to continue to stay in this person's body. At the very least, we should know His real name!"
“Holy Fire!!”
The four priests shouted in unison.
The housekeeper and maids present were so frightened that they trembled all over.
The temperature in the entire hall suddenly rose and they felt the heat was unbearable.
At this time, one of the priests had a distorted face, fear in his eyes, and sweat all over his forehead. He made four gestures in succession to Neil.
Neil suddenly felt that his hands and feet were out of control, as if they were locked tightly to the chair and unable to stand up.
A sense of absurdity suddenly arose in his heart.
Looking at the pastors of the Church of Redemption looking at him with fear in their eyes, he inexplicably felt a sense of pleasure.
At the same time, there is a deep awe for His Majesty the Snake.
What kind of existence is He...
He hasn't even shown up yet, but he's already frightened the servants of the Church of Redemption?
“Burning Shadow!!”
The priests chanted again.
The four men had ferocious expressions and their eyes were wide open as they struggled to move the candles closer to Neil's shadow.
Then there was a loud bang.
Neil was shocked to see that his shadow on the ground was actually igniting flames!
But the strange thing is that I didn't feel any discomfort at all.
When he looked up, he saw four priests staring at him with dull, even incomprehensible eyes.
The eerie silence lasted for several seconds.
One of the priests saw something and suddenly looked terrified. He opened his mouth and stammered some incomprehensible syllables, then suddenly screamed.
“Ah! Aaaaahhh!!”
Accompanied by unimaginable pain and fear.
His whole body was on fire!
That was not the "red fire" of the Candlestick Goddess, nor the "blue fire" of the God of Fire... but a strange fire that was almost gray!
The pastor of the Redemption Church spontaneously combusted!
Two breaths.
The priest left behind only some ashes floating in the air.
It seemed to have disappeared out of thin air...
Bear! Bear bear!!
Just as the other three priests opened their mouths in shock and were speechless, they, like the man just now, turned into gray human-shaped torches on the spot!
“Ah! Ahhh!!”
The painful cries were endless.
The housekeeper and the maids were so frightened that their legs went limp and they fell to the ground, unable to get up.
“This…this?!”
Pastor Jordan staggered back.
The old pastor, who had never lost his composure before, suddenly sat down on the ground.
Even the Bible in his hand fell to the ground.
He stared with almost empty eyes at the blond boy sitting on the chair, who was standing with his back to the light and silhouetted against the pale firelight, and was trembling slightly.
No.
To be precise.
His cloudy eyes seemed to see the dark existence in the boy's body, which was like the abyss, completely controlling the boy's body and occupying his soul...
Jordan shed tears in pain, his voice trembling:
"No, it's not a demon, but... an evil demon from outer space!"
