Chapter 70: Pride of the Church

William, undeterred by Asmodeus' sinister laughter, remained resolute, his faith acting as an unyielding shield against the Prince of Lust's taunts. The priest's eyes glinted with a determination that surpassed mortal understanding, his unwavering resolve evident even in the face of demonic temptation.

Asmodeus, reveling in the chaos, continued his mocking laughter, a cacophony that echoed through the night like a haunting melody. His amusement seemed boundless, fueled by the twisted pleasure he derived from witnessing the battle between light and darkness.

Amidst the diabolical laughter, William stood tall, his demeanor unshaken. With a voice that resonated with divine authority, he addressed the demonic presence before him, "Your mockery will not weaken my resolve, Asmodeus. I stand as a servant of God, and I will protect this sacred ground from your malevolence."
