Remember that analogy? I put Papa Midnight and the Holy Lord of the Holy Lord faith together, I put the black witch who is proficient in witchcraft and can see death with the saint, and I put the wizard who eliminated the dead disciples, Siberella Blast and Witcher put together. This is not to be understood, it is a fact.
Regardless of why Mason entered Saint-Jerre, he was chosen to be a witcher candidate, and he had the talent. Banishing Seth confirmed that he did have power, however.
Mason, who lost his weapon, was stunned for a moment when he was entangled in flying and coiled hair! The demon, which had been completely at a disadvantage, once again took the initiative, and it seemed that it had the possibility of revenge and being sealed.
"Constantine." Zach frowned, and the black thread was like a manipulated needle thread, weaving through every opening on Mason's body. Mason's eyelids were pulled by chilling threads and forced shut! The frightened pupils were cut into countless vertical strips by fine sutures! The skin of the two forearms was pulled by black silk threads, sewn in the middle, pulled up tightly, and hung to the ceiling...
Zach pulled Constantine over, who seemed to be just waiting to watch, and his fingertips had already been cut. The blood beads that were thrown out were stained by Mason, who was already completely under control.
Amidst the teeth-searing sound of the metal wire being pulled, the threads sutured to Mason's body broke one by one! Starting from the place contaminated by vampire blood, it is corroded and infected! Around Mason's body, which was suspended in mid-air, the misty and scattered threads were structured, sliding and disappearing in the powerless air...
The devil, who was contaminated with vampire blood and already extremely weak from being cut by the dagger, perished without even having a chance to die in his own form.
Bang. Mason fell again and lay on the floor of the office, breathing heavily. He's a very poor candidate for a witcher.
Constantine stared gloomily at Mason on the ground. At this time, the priest did not look like a priest at all. As I said before, Zach has already judged it. At this time, Constantine was controlled by personal emotions, and he could not accept the fact that Seth just disappeared from this world.
Constantine is in the first stage of grief, denial. So he tried to prove by denying Mason's ability that Seth could not be expelled by such a bad guy! So there is everything now. What a fragile human heart.
Zach shook his head and pulled up the panting Mason. "You go out first and stay with Mike."
Mason didn't dare to look at Constantine at all. He nodded with his head lowered and hurried to the door, pushed it open, escaped, and closed the door. Only the vampire was left in the office, and Constantine, who had been confirmed to be a powerful demon hunter.
That kind of calm and casual release of demons is not something ordinary people can do!
Zach looked at Constantine's eyes as he followed Mason and disappeared behind the office door, and shook his head again, "Father." Zach used a reminder. "You don't really have to blame him, he's innocent."
Constantine raised his hand and threw the dagger he took from Mason on the table, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes, the gloomy expression on his face had disappeared, but the comforting priest's demeanor still hadn't returned. Constantine nodded to Zach expressionlessly, and silently walked towards the bookcase in the office.
Zach shook his head again, Constantine and Seth's relationship. Deeper than he thought. It was right in retrospect, Seth was that silent guy. The few times he was willing to talk to Zach were all because Zach used Constantine to open up the topic. In turn, Constantine was willing to tell Zach that he joined Crowley for Seth.
Constantine took out a letter from the bookcase and handed it to Zach when he sat back behind the desk.
"This is the second time." Constantine's tone was calm, repressed and calm. Who doesn't know what this priest is really thinking, "I've lost my friend."
Zach glanced at Constantine and looked at the letter in his hand. The sender was a church in a certain city in the west. Opened the letter. Pulled out the paper inside.
'It is with the deepest sadness that we inform you of the death of Seth Ponbo... '
Zach's eyes fell directly to the time, which was three years ago.
What Seth once told Zach seemed to be true, the witcher did not die for long.
"This is the first time." Constantine's eyes didn't know where he was looking. "I didn't have any thoughts. I wasn't even sad or praying for him." His eyes fell on the letter in Zach's hand, "Because we We have broken off our friendship long ago, and we have differences in our views on things. He continues his career of hunting monsters that he thinks is right, and I continue to work quietly as a priest in the small city in the easternmost part of the Federation."
This city is naturally Barton. So when the farewell happened, the separation of life had already separated the two people who were once friends.
Zach silently put the letter back into the envelope and put his hands respectfully back on the table. A vampire doesn't have to understand human emotions that he's long since extinguished for centuries, but he can at least show due respect.
"I think he got the end he was destined for." Constantine continued, perhaps this was his necessary process to move from 'denial' to the next stage, where the vampire is ready to be a good neighbor and not disturb.
"There is no need to be sad." Constantine finally had an expression on his face, one of helplessness, "Until he appears, using Mason's body, in front of me."
Zach listened quietly, friendship reborn? It seems not.
There was a mocking smile on Constantine's face, "He traveled across the entire federation just to tell me that I was wrong." He glanced at Zach and shook his head, "He said, 'Look, a In a world filled with demons, do you still think that demon hunting is wrong? Everyone will go to hell without a choice. Does this world still not need demon hunters?'"
Zach raised his eyebrows involuntarily.
The sarcastic smile on Constantine's face became more obvious, "Can you believe it? But when this bitch came back to the world, the first thing he did was to cross the Federation and come to me! Come to me Continue the unfinished dispute between him and me during his lifetime!"
Zach's face, which had just shown a smile, also felt helpless. The vampire shook his head. He now regretted that he didn't get to know this silent demon hunter well when Seth was still around. He seemed to be a good and interesting guy.
Constantine took another deep breath, and the expression on his face disappeared, "So this time, I have the right to make up for the shortcomings when I lost him the first time. I have the right to vent, even if Mason is just an innocent scapegoat."
Zach looked at Constantine, a much more interesting man. Zach regretted wasting so much time before he could truly get to know his neighbor.
"You know, Seth didn't really disappear forever. There's still hope for him to come back again." Zach looked at Constantine with a smile on his lips, comfortingly.
Constantine collected his emotions, nodded, and then shook his head, "I know that Seth used my research results 'shamelessly'. I think he does have a chance." He picked up the necklace and looked at Zack Shake.
This is what Zach is really curious about, "What the hell is this?"
As for the doubts raised by Mason, Constantine has just answered them, hasn't he? Why didn't Constantine answer the call of the West at the end of last year? Because Constantine felt that witchers should not exist.
Constantine seemed to have returned to normal and said truly calmly, "Have Mike ever mentioned why Crowley accepted my joining so easily?"
Lying to a priest was not something a vampire was willing to do, so Zach nodded, "He said you were powerful enough to make undead become natural demons."
"That's wrong." Constantine shook his head helplessly, "I don't have such magical abilities, I'm just a..." He paused, as if he really didn't want to talk about his demon hunter, "scholar."
Zach raised his eyebrows, no need to argue.
Constantine put down the necklace in his hand and took off the beads embedded in the necklace. It seems to be explained, "The common method used by demon hunters is generally expulsion, because they believe in the judgment of the Holy Lord on demons and will be tortured in hell forever. To terminate the demon's sentence without authorization is a blasphemy against the faith."
Zach nodded.
"But when the devil commits a new crime in this world, the demon hunter will conduct a second trial in the name of faith." Constantine said it very vaguely, but in fact it was killing. When the Church in the West and the Sabbat still had a cooperative relationship, the demon hunters would not lack the supply of vampire blood, and the world would never lack fire. Coupled with the Judgment Cross that is blessed by faith, the demon hunters' mobility is many times higher than that of hunters, which are private organizations.
"This is where my disagreement with Seth lies." Constantine shook his head. "Expelling and not letting demons affect people's lives, I agree. But killing them? What are we? We are believers, not cherubim, Neither angels nor saints! We are not qualified to judge.”
Zach blinked, he couldn't agree more with Constantine! It seems that Grande and Constantine have been friendly neighbors for so many years because they have the same philosophy of doing things! The lives of other people are not something that anyone can judge or define.
Then, Constantine's mood dropped, "Perhaps I, like most people like Seth, have different ideas from them. In order to stick to my own ideas when I was isolated, I walked on this path. Too far."
"What did you study?" Zach became interested.
Seeing Zach's interest, Constantine smiled helplessly, "I tried to recreate the process of determining the soul of the Earthbinder."
Soul mark. Good and evil, good and bad. It is a standard process to make a judgment at the end of the belief and decide whether the soul belongs upward or downward.
Demon hunters are not qualified to judge others. The only people who are qualified are their own beliefs. Constantine tried to trigger a second soul ownership determination on the devil in order to achieve a truly fair trial!
"How did you do it?" Zach looked at the priest in front of him in surprise. He couldn't decide whether this guy was a madman or a genius.
Constantine looked at the inexplicable expectation in Zach's eyes and shook his head helplessly, "I didn't 'do it', I failed." (..)
