Fear, the most primitive and terrifying emotion of mankind, rose like a virus in the heart of every demon hunter at this moment. As the boiling secret blood spread along the blood vessels, it devoured all the weak wills in an instant. They trembled, cried, and prayed that all this was just an unbearable dream, but everyone knew that there seemed to be no moment to wake up from this nightmare.
In the silent night, the roars of demons gradually arose from every corner of the Seven Hills, like a rising tide, accompanied by burning flames and the clanging of iron.
As time went by, the phenomenon of people being demonized appeared in other places of the Seven Hills. Crying and shouting were heard at night, and it seemed that someone was fleeing here, and the sound of footsteps gradually increased.
Yes, this is the Cathedral of St. Naro. If there is any place in the world that is closest to the kingdom of God, it is here. All believers yearn to be here, and when all evils come to the world, this will also be the last refuge.
How ridiculous! Who would have thought that this sanctuary in people's hearts would be the source of evil? 047 wanted to yell at the night and tell those fleeing people to leave, but his cold rationality made him hold the nail sword tightly.
Tonight is the war faction's experiment on the Holy Grail. Once successful, the evangelical church will once again return to its dominant position in the Western world. It will have a sharper sword to fight against demons and pagans.
To ensure safety, 047 led the Medanzo demon hunters to guard here, but it was obvious that the experiment was out of control, and this might be the beginning of the destruction of the Evangelical Church.
But 047 still has to stick to his duty, not for the gospel church, nor for the illusory god, but for the demon. He cannot allow this weird existence to step into the world again.
The footsteps of the crowd were getting closer, and panicked people appeared in front of the demon hunters. They were extremely panicked under the pressure of the erosion, and their expressions were extremely distorted... In fact, they should have run out of the city. Although there were guards of the Templar Knights there, it was at least better than coming here, the source of the erosion.
These people still had their sanity, fragile sanity, and a slight joy appeared on their extremely frightened faces. At this moment, the blood-stained demon hunters seemed to be their last hope. They cheered, but then the sharp spike swords pierced their hearts and then chopped off their heads.
The joyful crowd fell silent. They looked at the witchers, as if they did not understand why these guardians of heaven did this, but they could not even utter a scream. The witchers leaped down and skillfully killed ordinary people who had offered no resistance one after another. 047's sword-wielding hands gradually became numb, and he was not sure whether what he was doing was right or wrong.
When the erosion of suppressed panic spread to the entire Seven Hills, ordinary people in the Seven Hills had already been sentenced to death. It was difficult for ordinary people to resist the erosion. Even if they were not demonized now, it was only a matter of time. They were no longer ordinary people, but potential demons one after another.
What 047 is doing now is just to solve the threat in advance, but... is it really like this? Those distorted faces died just like that, with confusion and pain in their eyes.
The demon hunters' wills are being tested by the pressure of erosion, the threats of demons, the hesitation and guilt of killing ordinary people. They are isolated and helpless in this bloody night.
