"How so?"
At these words, everyone, including Jeffrey and Beck, looked in the direction Erin pointed.
What they saw was beyond their imagination.
A burly priest, holding a little girl with one hand and carrying another person on his back, was stopping their fall by forcibly breaking through walls, swiftly sliding down.
"This…"
Beck's mouth hung open, wanting to say something, but remembering the incident at the Jesse Building, he ultimately remained silent.
Jeffrey, however, was somewhat prepared and looked towards Brother Kenny.
"Damn! You guys stay here."
Leaving these words behind, Brother Kenny, holding the hilt of his knight's sword, rushed towards the priest.
By the time he arrived, York had already safely landed on the ground and looked towards the approaching Brother Kenny.
In his mind, a real-time 3D map had already appeared, including the monster that was nearly fully merged.
"Come down, child."
York said with a gentle smile, putting down Casey from his left hand.
Bridget, while releasing her hands, was trying to process what had just happened, somewhat dazed and unsure of what to do.
It must be said that this method of descending by grabbing walls was quite shocking for ordinary people.
"Father York!"
Seeing Brother Kenny hurrying over, York looked up at the apartment building, his gaze seemingly fixed on the monster whose body was growing larger.
"Give me your knight's sword, Brother Kenny."
Hearing this, Brother Kenny did not hesitate and immediately handed over his sword.
"Thank you."
York took the knight's sword and kicked the wall, creating an opening under everyone's gaze and went inside.
"Take them away, keep them away from the battlefield."
"Yes, Father!"
Brother Kenny nodded in response, admiring the figure that had re-entered the darkness, and quickly left the spot with a confused Casey and Bridget in his arms.
"Damn priest! Where are you?!"
Hearing this angry roar and seeing the giant 3D map in his mind of something rampaging through, breaking walls and rooms, York headed downstairs, drawing his sword from its sheath.
The history of the church's knight's sword is also quite long, belonging to the widely popular hand-and-a-half sword, also known as the bastard sword, from the Middle Ages, meaning it combines the advantages of all types.
It has the lightness of a broadsword, the thrusting ability of a knight's sword, the slashing and chopping ability of a two-handed sword, and even the advantages of a longsword.
Thus, the church's knight's sword can be effective both with two hands and with a shield.
The sword is generally 1 to 1.2 meters long.
Of course, this length is not a standard but varies with the individual.
Brother Kenny's knight's sword is on the longer side, at 1.4 meters. To enhance its durability, this sword naturally also had to be heavier, meaning it might become a heavy sword in someone else's hands.
York swung the sword effortlessly.
A sharp sound echoed, and in the dim space, a chilling light shone.
"It's a bit lighter than my sword, but it'll do…"
York, familiarizing himself with the sword, stopped in his tracks. With magical power spreading in his eyes, he looked up at the ceiling and softly said.
"I'm here!"
Boom! A loud noise.
A giant form, with the impact of falling debris, crashed down from the seventh floor, smashing into the ground of the first floor, creating a deep pit.
York smirked, staring at the object in front of him, unfazed.
After sending Bridget away, he no longer had any concerns.
In the midst of the dust, a flesh mass made of hundreds of corpses was thrashing about.
"Die!"
With a roar, massive, deformed flesh spikes burst out of the dust, quickly stabbing towards York.
"Is this your true form?"
York smiled lightly, stepping forward, and with a swing of his right hand, he easily sliced through the approaching giant flesh spikes. The cut-off part of the spikes fell to the ground, twitching incessantly.
"To be honest, it's really ugly!"
York's smile was bright as he took out a bottle of holy water from his bag and poured it over the tentacles attempting to recombine.
Sizzle!
The large piece of tentacle immediately stopped moving, wilting rapidly on the spot like a withered flower.
The still twitching flesh mass seemed extremely angry, and from the dust that hadn't yet settled, dozens more tentacle-like spikes shot towards York, who was continuously advancing.
With the 3D map generated in his mind, York, smiling unchanged, pulled out a holy hand grenade from his belt. At the same time, he threw it forward, he shot the grenade's primer with his Laine Bauer gun from the holster.
Boom! A massive explosion erupted.
The blast, combined with the holy light, instantly destroyed all the flesh spikes, spreading rapidly in all directions.
The surrounding debris and everything else were pushed away by an invisible force, and the nearby walls collapsed, raising a cloud of dust.
The flesh spikes that had just reached York stopped in their tracks, cracks appearing and being dispersed by the following shockwave.
[Protego (Shield)] [5 magic points used]
The remaining force continued towards York but seemed to hit an invisible wall, stopping in front of him and then dispersing.
Exposed to the holy light, the flesh mass screamed in pain, full of vitality.
After defending against the attack, York put his gun back into the holster and continued to approach without any further actions, not shooting or throwing holy hand grenades.
Because the enemy also had corresponding long-range methods, pushing away with flesh spikes or other means.
Unless he had more powerful heavy weapons, such as a grenade launcher or a rocket launcher, unfortunately, he wasn't prepared for this supernatural event, so with his current equipment, he really couldn't do much.
As for applying a double buff like at the Jesse Building, but from the previous explosion and conversation, York felt that he couldn't kill this creature with layers of protective shells, which would instead affect his combat strategy.
Because the creature could absorb and merge all memories from the corpses, it was presumably prepared for his type of attack.
Of course, this was all irrelevant. Every supernatural event's monster is different, and he naturally needed corresponding exorcism methods.
To deal with such a monster with layers of protection, it was necessary to remove its protective shell first, just like preparing to cook a fish, one must first remove its scales.
As York continued to approach, with the dust blown away by the shockwave, he could now see the form of the flesh mass, just as he had seen in the book, resembling a queen ant's body, covered in dense limbs, with the core Danny body well wrapped in the center.
"Your ability might work on others, but how will you play against me?" York's smile remained unchanged as he continued.
"What exactly are you?"
Wrapped by the flesh mass, Danny's eyes were fixed on the approaching York, his face ferocious, his gaze emitting a violent aura, choosing the most primitive form of attack.
"Die!"
In a beast-like roar, the corpses wrapped around it instantly formed a massive flesh hand, like swatting a fly, raised quickly and slammed down towards the priest in front...

A battle is nothing more than exchanging moves and countering moves, back and forth, blocking and countering.
York also specifically countered the monster's attacks.
For example, the dozens of flesh spikes earlier, he chose to use a holy hand grenade to resolve the situation once and for all.
And for the giant palm from above, seeming to cover the sky and with great impact, he naturally chose a single method.
That is, a single slash, precisely fulfilling his requirement to remove, as the hundreds of corpses have a count, not infinite...
The strong wind swirling around the flesh hand made York's priest robe flutter loudly, his gaze calm, his right hand gripping the knight's sword's handle tightly, with spiritual power spreading over and attaching to the blade.
"Huh!"
Exhaling softly, York took a stance, holding the handle with both hands and the blade behind him, then swung.
A simple and direct full slash.
Nothing fancy displayed.
Only a blinding cold light, sweeping past.
The flesh hand, replacing the ceiling, was quickly split from left to right by a straight line, except for the part that was retracted, the rest of the flesh fell beside York, who was standing with his sword, raising a large cloud of invisible dust.
Following was the monster's howl, but it seemed to be at its last breath.
"Still want to retract?"
York's left hand, at some point, held an opened bottle of holy water, which he casually poured over the large piece of flesh.
Puff! Like encountering sulfuric acid, the flesh that just moved a step immediately dried up and wilted.
"It's my turn!"
Having done this, York watched the monster, seemingly intending to retreat, smirked, and charged forward.
Danny's eyes turned blood red, the flesh surrounding it instantly forming spikes, stabbing towards the approaching priest.
However, no matter what, the priest simply and straightforwardly sliced through all the flesh spikes, even accelerating.
In an instant, he was in front of it.
Before it could react.
Danny suddenly realized a large piece of flesh it could no longer feel had been sliced off by that damn priest.
Damn!
In a rage, it attempted to counterattack, stabbing or slapping, but in the next second, the priest's figure disappeared, and another large piece of flesh was unresponsive.
Only cold light and shadows were seen, no trace of the person, whatever it did was futile, its hard shell was just vulnerable flesh in front of the opponent, easily sliced open.
"Sky's nemesis!"
Danny, for the first time, harbored the thought of fleeing, and it suddenly realized it had very few things it could control.
The perception was full of bright cold light, and in Danny's angry roar, it could only forcefully explode the last layer of flesh around it.
"Die!"
In an instant, spikes burst from its body.
York, sensing this, stopped butchering, standing still and watching Danny, now only covered in its core shell, extending his left hand.
"So, you really have no other tricks left? Since that's the case, there's no need to be so cautious."
[20 spirit points used] 20 spirit points transformed into telekinesis, instantly stopping all the small flesh spikes in front of York under his will.
One by one, the tiny spikes just floated in front of the priest, forming a wall, quite a spectacle.
Seeing this, Danny simply gave up the struggle for control, seizing the opportunity to turn around and run towards a gap, in a bizarre shape.
In the distance, it sensed the presence of many people...
However, a sentence made it feel a strong sense of crisis.
"Thinking of running now? Don't you think it's too late?"
[Exorcio (Exorcism)] [30 magic points used] Puff! Danny looked down at the white giant sword that pierced from its back to its chest, caught off guard by the attached force and stabbed towards the ground.
Watching the exorcism transformer-formed magic giant sword stuck in the ground, with blood continuously flowing out, Danny, in pain, howled, York walked towards it with an expressionless face.
Hearing footsteps, Danny, lying on the ground, began to sense the threat of death, its hands clawing at the giant sword in its chest, trying to stand.
However, York, while walking, the void around him once again produced four swords transformed from ten magic points, quickly stabbing towards Danny's limbs that had just stood up, pinning it firmly in place.
Roar! Danny suddenly turned its head to stare at the priest close by, its face ferocious, roaring.
A gust of wind rose.
York waved his hand to disperse it, stepping on its upper body that was trying to rise, slowly pressing it down.
"This place was never meant for you," looking at those eyes fixed on him, emitting evil, York took out a bottle of holy water from his bag, smiled lightly, and said.
"So, go back where you came from, no, you're already in the present world."
Danny's pupils contracted.
York, unfazed, uncapped the holy water bottle with one hand and poured it over those blood-red eyes, his smile unchanged, continuing.
"Then, die."
Holy water on the body of darkness was like pouring sulfuric acid on flesh, even more so.
Puff puff puff! Danny howled in pain, its flesh being peeled away layer by layer by the holy water, emitting a foul smoke.
Until the holy water bottle was empty, York casually threw the bottle away, continuing to take out the Laine Bauer from the holster and fired all the .50 holy bullets in the empty chamber at those eyes fixed on him.
Bang bang bang bang!
The gunfire echoed in the dark first floor.
And in the ears of everyone outside.
Danny's body, like the demon people before, was cracked by York like molten rock, blasting into fine stones.
The nearly exploding red pupils still stared at him.
"I will not die."
"Oh, you say you won't die just because you say so?" York chuckled, his right hand's knight's sword already swung, delivering the final blow, exploding the head on the verge of bursting.
At the same time, the mental space in his mind, under his imagination, turned into a gigantic white hand that directly grabbed and burst the invading dark mist on the spot.
"At this point, you still want to possess me, thinking my mental power is for nothing?"
York shook his head, putting the Laine Bauer back into the holster, looked back at the ground slowly turning into rock-shaped flesh and the seemingly crumbling building, silently took out the last Bluetooth speaker that was still playing prayers, and walked outside.
The Bluetooth speaker played a new prayer.
"May God forgive you, as you forgive others." "From dust you came, and to dust you shall return."
"May your soul rest in peace in heaven." Just as he walked outside, heading towards the people, York put away his phone, and the mission completion notification echoed in his ears.
"Exorcise the demons in the Reed Apartment Building (Completed)"
"Mission Reward: +27 attribute points (Issued)"
