Alien Knights

"God is merciful, the sun shines on us from high above; protect us as enemies, to defeat the evil schemes of the devil; pray to God, order the devil to retreat; use the power of the Lord, to drive Satan and demons into the world; to drive the devil who harms human spirits into hell! 』

Todd held the scriptures high in one hand, crossed himself with the other, placed them on the cursed man's head, and chanted exorcism prayers loudly.

"I thought there was a difference, but it turned out there was no difference..." Listening to the prayer, the young priest muttered in a low voice, but in the next second, he swallowed the second half of the sentence because of the strangeness in the room.

The brown sackcloth covering the bed gradually raised a "bulge" on the cursed person's abdomen.

"Father! What is that?!"

The sheriff's low exclamation drew Huggins' glaring gaze. The latter put his index finger on his lips and made a silent movement.

As the sackcloth rises higher and higher, the outline of the "bulge" becomes clearer and clearer, the eye sockets, nose, and mouth gradually become prominent, and the shape of a face is already visible.

"demon!"

The old knight, who was disarmed and returned to the field, growled and touched his waist, but found nervously that he did not bring his weapon with him.

The sheriff twitched his facial muscles, his upper and lower teeth were trembling, and although his body was standing next to the candle, his head kept shrinking back.

At this moment, two reddish-brown liquids like "blood" flowed down from the eye sockets of the "bulge", wetted the linen cloth, and polluted the pure white cross.

"ah!!!"

Unable to bear the pressure of fear any longer, the sheriff scrambled and fled backwards.

As if frightened, the bulge instantly rose tens of centimeters and floated in mid-air, making a howling sound like ghosts and wolves.

The young priest looked at the "evil spirit" in front of him in horror, turned his head and looked angrily at the coward who left everyone behind and ran away, and shouted: "You bastard! You broke the ceremony! The devil is going crazy!"

As if to confirm Moore Rupert's words, with a sharp roar, the linen hit the ceiling, and with a burst, it slowly fell, but the inside was blank.

The room fell into dead silence, but almost everyone knew that even if something terrible happened.

There was a loud bang.

The wood above everyone's heads exploded, and blood poured down like a waterfall.

With a heavy face, Todd put down the scriptures in his hands, took out the cross on his chest with one hand, and swung the holy water bottle around his waist with the other. He chanted loudly: "The Lord entrusted the redeemed souls to me and placed them in the happiness of heaven. I pray here, God of peace! Suppress Satan under our feet, so that he will no longer torment mankind and harm believers!"

However, prayers and holy water did nothing.

"Blood" oozes from the immaculate white cross, "devil heads" emerge from the dark walls, and the dishes and furniture in the room explode one by one.

Anyone in the room could see the reality of despair.

The exorcism failed...

Huggins and Jerry Jr. came to Todd's side, one on the left and one on the right, protecting the monk from the debris and sawdust splashed by the explosion. The latter even lifted a stone platform weighing hundreds of catties and placed it across his shoulders.

Todd continued to recite the prayer, looked at little Jerry with his clairvoyant ability, and was surprised to find that the parasite entrenched in the adrenal gland was spitting liquid regularly.

Others behaved differently.

The sheriff and the old knight ran to the main door of the hut, trying to tear off the cross on the back of the door and escape as quickly as possible, but the young clergy blocked their way.

Father Rupert opened his arms, grabbed the door frame tightly, glared at the two people in front of him, and shouted: "The devil has come out of the cage! There are innocent people outside, open the door, do you know what will happen? Do you want to use other people's lives to protect yourself?!"

The old knight was stunned for a moment, with a hesitant look on his face; the sheriff didn't care so much, he raised his fist and hit the priest on the cheek.

Moore Rupert, who was hit hard, shook his body, but he didn't back down half a step, and regained his stature. The blood from the corner of his mouth slowly overflowed, but there was a sense of sacrifice in his eyes.

In the middle of the room, Todd first said a word to Huggins, then motioned to the two people around him, and moved the craftsman to the door. He threw away everything in his hand and opened his arms towards the roof.

"Father, please present my life before the altar of the Supreme God, and ask the Lord to show mercy, release your anger, capture the poisonous dragon and the ancient snake, and destroy the devil and Satan!" 』

The bright and fiery flames, under the horrified gazes of others, burned along the monk's ankles, to his waist, and finally reached his arms.

"My God!" Father Rupert, who was crossing his chest, had tears streaming down his eyes: "Fellow Todd is saving our souls with his life!"

Todd, who has completely turned into "Fire Man", grabbed an invisible figure in the air, hugged him tightly and never let go, the howl of "Devil" sounded again at this time, and the voice came from Karma.

"I order you in the name of the High! Demon! Go back to hell!"

The wooden hut quickly fell into a sea of ​​flames. The suffocating black smoke and the high temperature of the burning body cavity forced the other six people to take the unconscious craftsman, opened the door, and rushed into the fearful and restless crowd outside the house.

Little Jerry let out a mournful roar, and wanted to rush into the fire again, but was held back by Huggins.

"Don't be impulsive! Todd told me just now that he will be fine."

The man whispered in the ear of the tall young man.

All the villagers in Qianmu Village, as well as the crowd of onlookers, spontaneously formed a fire brigade after hearing about Todd's sacrifice to exorcise the demon. People used wooden barrels for well water, water tanks for collecting rain, and even damp sheets to put out the fire.

Finally, after the fire burned for thirty minutes, the fire gradually weakened.

People saw a figure in the burning ruins emitting white smoke.

The people who were the first to discover Todd shouted with trembling lips: "God appears! A miracle! This is a miracle!"

Todd stood intact in the innermost storage room. Although his whole body was smoky, there was no sign of burning in the place where he was standing or around.

Pious people came one after another, and everyone was stunned by the scene before them. I don't know who started it first, more and more people knelt in the direction of Todd, and the voices of prayer and praise were endless.

Soon, a holy title was chanted in every believer's mouth.

"The Son protected by the Father."
