Bab 111: Chapter 111: In the Path (Edited)
[Our Father in heaven]
[May your name be kept holy]
[May your kingdom come] […] In the increasingly dim path, the three, accompanied by Eileen's firm voice, went deeper and deeper.
At this time, the only three meters wide dim path, both sides of the walls had started to show droplets of water.
Normally, ordinary people would at least feel the surrounding air filled with damp cold.
But Xili, always at the back, wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but he felt the cold air lingering around seemed to have become a bit warmer, he tilted his head staring at the novice nun in front, his mind forming a new understanding.
[…] [May your will be done on earth]
[As it is in heaven] […] Not only Xili felt this way, but Eileen, who was continuously reciting the prayer, felt the same. She stared at the figure blocking everything ahead, staring at the fleeting white footprints left by the father, pondering.
Unaware of how the two behind him felt, Father York was already aiming ahead.
The novice nun's prayer here was akin to stirring a hornet's nest.
But that was precisely his intention.
Only the body and the control within can imprison a nun.
He wanted to clear the way, weakening the negative power the demon could draw from, holding the Blood of Jesus and telling the demon face to face that he had arrived.
Roar!!
A beastly roar echoed from the depths, accompanied by a surge of footsteps.
Bang bang bang! Now, both Xili and Eileen heard it.
The footsteps grew closer.
Eileen was so startled that she instinctively stopped reciting, staring ahead.
Xili, at the back, had already lifted the SHAK-12, aiming forward.
"I'm here."
Sensing the tension of the two behind him, Father York casually said, spreading magic in his eyes, staring at the approaching blurry shadows, and fired the grenade launcher.
Boom! Dazzling light burst from the muzzle.
The next second.
Accompanied by a roar, a flash of light exploded in the void a dozen meters away, In that instant, Xili and Eileen could clearly see a hideously faced nun being easily blown to pieces, her upper body turning into chunks scattering around, with only her lower body thudding to the ground.
But as the light instantly went out, they saw nothing.
However, at that moment.
One after another, footsteps echoed in the dim path.
"Tsk."
Father York, through his magic-imbued eyes, saw a group of grim-faced nuns rushing towards them. He silently pulled out a holy grenade from the belt, listening to the now-stopped recitation, and calmly said.
"Continue reading."
"Okay, Father."
Eileen, looking at the indistinct, all-consuming darkness ahead, suppressing the throbbing in her heart, continued to recite.
[Give us this day our daily bread]
[And forgive us our debts] […] Listening to the recitation behind him, Father York smiled, still feeling the same.
Accompanied by Eileen's recitation, he unscrewed the pin of the grenade with one hand, then threw it forward with his right hand.
Puff! The sound of air bursting! With an unimaginably strong force, the holy grenade instantly reached a spot twenty meters away, hitting something and falling to the ground with a clang.
Then.
Boom!!!!!!
Sacred white light exploded with the firelight, illuminating everything.
Xili and Eileen both widened their eyes.
In that bright moment, they saw a group of skeletal, neither human nor ghost nuns being blown into pieces, scattering in all directions.
Then they saw nothing again, only feeling a strong shockwave erupting in front of them.
Before the two could react, Father York faced the exploding shockwave, his left hand clenched into a fist and struck forward.
To conserve magic power, he only used a point of magic on his fist, relying on his own physical strength to withstand the rest.
Bang! The incoming white and red shockwave was instantly shattered by the large fist, the aftermath hitting Father York's sturdy chest but not moving him an inch.
The remaining wind dispersed to both sides, blowing the hair of Eileen behind him. "Father?"
Hearing Eileen's instinctive call, Father York, right hand holding the grenade launcher, left hand patting the dirt on his chest, stared at the gradually emerging figures of nuns, not caring at all and calmly said.
"It's okay, continue praying, send the nuns on their way."
Saying that, Father York continued to lead the way forward.
Eileen took a deep breath, looking at the tall figure ahead, could only follow while reciting the unfinished scripture.
[As we also have forgiven our debtors]
[And lead us not into temptation]
[But deliver us from evil]
[…] Xili, at the back, staring at his useless SHAK-12, muttered to himself and shook his head, continuing to follow the nun's steps.
He found he might only be useful for piloting the helicopter, not nearly as useful as the seemingly tender but actually strong and brave novice nun in front.
At least the nun could see something, but he saw nothing, only feeling indeed someone was watching them.
[For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever]
Following Eileen's firm, gentle recitation, Father York also reached the first nun, seeing the soul bodies becoming clearer, nuns full of sanctity on their faces, then stopped and made the sign of the cross in front of his chest.
"Called to heaven, rest in the Lord's embrace."
The emerging nuns, looking at each other and smiling, the leading old nun at the front leading them to put their hands together, bow their heads, and close their eyes towards Father York passing by...
After passing the last soul body nun, watching her explode into bits of light, Father York sighed, taking the silently reciting Eileen and the bewildered Xili forward.
Ten seconds later.
In the dim path, another wave of surging footsteps suddenly sounded.
But the next second, accompanied by a roaring explosion, everything returned to calm, only Eileen's recitation still echoed.
Until fifteen seconds later, the three went deeper, the outside light gradually swallowed by darkness.
The path, built from rough and thick stones, extended downwards as if there was no end.
"This is..."
When they reached a door made of wood on the side wall, Father York immediately stopped and pushed it open.
He sensed something inside.
In the silent path, the wooden door creaked open.
Roar!!! As expected, what came at them was a nun with her face turned into bloody flesh, lunging at them like a zombie with a howling sound.
As Eileen suppressed a scream and Xili quickly shifted his gun's aim at that
