Shad asked about Sir Prisha because he had no means to completely kill the demon, and he couldn't arrange the sealing ceremony in a hurry, so he could only wait for the doctor to arrive as soon as possible.
In the concert hall separated by a wall, the performance continued. The moonlight illuminated the wall, and the silver sword Night Watchman nailed to the wall shone brightly.
The demon was still wailing and groaning. The sword had a very different effect on it:
"I told him what the chosen one was, and I aroused his desire. Even though he didn't agree to let me possess him, I still gained power from it."
"As expected, I already know... What do you know about his past?"
Shade continued to ask. Although the demon was still screaming, a strange smile appeared on his face:
"He killed to get some precious books. He murdered his best friend to learn the secrets of the past."
Xia De frowned slightly. He had to decide for himself whether he could trust the information from the demon. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt the chain in his hand loosen.
With screams that nearly tore his eardrums apart, he was surprised to see that the demon nailed to the wall had actually forcibly abandoned the part of its body that was pierced by the Night Watchman and escaped the influence of the sword.
The "Chains of Sin" were forcibly broken for the first time, and the howling demon fiercely gave a final warning:
"If the chain of sins had been shackled with one more sin, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have been able to leave. What a pity, witchers of the Sixth Epoch, you damned fellows, even after such a long time, still haunt me. But fate is not on your side. If you have the courage, come after me."
The vague black shadow melted directly into the wall and seemed to pass through the wall and go to the stage of the concert hall where the performance was taking place.
The chains of sin wrapped around the hilt of the Night Watchman's sword and removed it from the wall. Outside the wall, the music being played suddenly changed its tune. The originally passionate tune became depressed and low, and the sound of the violin was like sawing wood, making the majestic movement narrating the heroic epic seem like telling a story about the devil.
At the same time as the tune suddenly changed, Xia De also heard the commotion. The Orthodox Church and the three major colleges had deployed personnel in the concert hall tonight, and this strange music naturally attracted attention.
But the demons that did not gain an advantage in the hands of Shade were still unable to be dealt with by ordinary ring sorcerers who did not have restraining weapons such as the Night Watch. The eerie music did not stop, but the sounds of resistance and commotion became smaller and smaller.
Xia De knew that this accident was caused by his and the doctor's actions. He could not wait to reunite with the doctor and had to solve all the troubles now.
Just as he was about to take a step forward with the sword in hand, he heard the sound of applause.
Looking suspiciously at the window, a young man wearing a big green hat with feathers, holding a lyre in his arms, wearing a smart white shirt, green jacket, bell-bottom pants and brown leather boots, was sitting on the windowsill with a smile. The moonlight shone on the man who looked like a bard, and Shade didn't notice when the other person appeared.
Outsider, you touched the whisper.
"Another relic?"
“Very good, very good drama.”
The young man smiled and clapped, and signaled to Xia De not to be nervous:
"Let me introduce myself. In the containment records of the Church of Creation and Destruction, I am known as the Secret Keeper-level Relic Bard Ryan."
He plucked the strings of his zither, as if stirring the heartstrings of his audience:
"I always appear at concerts, banquets and celebrations to test and reward artists who perform beautiful music."
As he spoke, he plucked the strings again, this time with a slightly higher pitch.
"Um... ... "
Xia De hesitated for a moment. He guessed that the person in front of him was probably the target of the church and the college tonight:
"I'm honored that you took the initiative to appear in front of me, but... I'm not an artist. Maybe you should go on stage. The Orthodox Church probably has prepared a very grand welcome ceremony for you tonight."
"No, no, performance doesn't necessarily have to be on stage."
The bard smiled and said:
"The performance of 'The Brave Fights the Devil' performed by you and Mr. Devil to the music just now was very outstanding. Who could have thought that in the current era of the flourishing human civilization of the Sixth Era, a young man holding the relics of the Witch Hunters of the Third Era could defeat a genuine evil spirit demon in an empty corner?"
He plucked the strings again, turned his back to the moonlight and smiled at Shade:
"In fact, besides you, I also have my eyes on a poet with ancient sacred blood. Unfortunately, he is not as good as you, and he left after seeing the devil, so I appeared in front of you."
Shade hesitated:
"The one you are talking about has the blood power of the Cherubim?"
The bard smiled and nodded. This completely proved Shad's guess. The chosen one of knowledge and wisdom had the blood power of the cherubim. It sounded like he was appointed by someone else.
"Hero of the Sixth Epoch, I cannot test you now, because your story has not yet ended. Go and defeat the demon, and finish your heroic epic tonight. Then I will tell you the test."
"Defeating the devil is what I want to do."
Shade gripped his sword tightly and walked toward the low stairs leading to the stage as the bard began to sing.
The main concert hall where the performance was taking place should have been brightly lit and magnificent, but when Shad stepped onto the stage holding a glowing silver sword, he found that all the lights were out and an impenetrable black fog enveloped the audience seats.
There was only one beam of light on the stage, shining on Victor Fanny. Behind him, the orchestra controlled by the devil was playing the devil's chapter more and more crazily.
The lights that occasionally lit up in the audience seats indicated that the battle was ongoing. Although the church did not prepare any special relics to deal with demons tonight, it was also very professional in dealing with demons.
Even though it had escaped here, the demon was still in a bad situation. Being exposed to the church was even more miserable than being hunted by the doctor.
Compared to the escape from abandoning a part of his body just now, Victor Fanni at this moment actually returned to the posture he had when he first met him at the Three Cats Inn. The black mud continued to gather at his feet, which represented the desire to be constantly absorbed.
"Elegant occasions, cheap desires, human thoughts are numerous, but nobles always want more than ordinary people."
It was no longer in the state of embarrassment it had just been in, and its body continued to swell in the shadows. When the terrifying music reached its climax, its head had already reached the ceiling of the concert hall.
"Sunshine Gun!"
At this moment, a clear voice came from the audience shrouded in black fog. In the dark golden light, Yin Luna, with a suspended scale on her head, Miss Green, the ten-ring magician of the Church of the Sun, and Mr. Pietro, the nine-ring magician of the Church of Peace, who looked quite young, walked through the black fog and came to the stage.
The exploding thunder spear blew a big hole in the chest of the huge black terrifying figure, but the hole was quickly repaired.
Yin Luna looked at Xia De who was holding a sword and nodded at him secretly. She naturally knew the Night Watchman.
"You're done."
Shade looked up at the demon preparing for the final blow, knowing that this matter was over.
Yin Luna was able to rely on the Night Watchman to identify who was appearing on the stage at that moment. After a little thought, the two high-level warlocks of the church also recognized the famous "God Caller".
Of course, considering that the "Godcaller" has always had a good reputation, and the enemy that appeared at this time was a demon, the ring warlocks of the church did not say much.
They just couldn't understand why the devil appeared in the city when their target tonight was a secret keeper who looked like a bard.
"Sunshine Gun!"
“Thunder gun!”
Two lightning spears, one gold and one silver, pierced through the demon's body together, but the demon was still able to heal quickly and seemed unaffected by the injury.
With a roar, the demon's terrifying claws grabbed at several people, but they were easily dodged. Its purpose was certainly not to easily "catch and kill" these humans. When its claws touched the ground, its entire right arm exploded into black mist, which quickly spread and completely covered the entire stage.
Only the musicians playing weird music were still manipulating their instruments crazily. The low and cold orchestral music made people feel creepy in the darkness.
"Hedon Seal!"
The black fog separated the people, and the silent Shade thrust the sword into the ground again. In the next second, Victor Fani's illusory shadow appeared outside the shield with golden light flowing, hugged the shield crazily, and died with it.
Countless illusions flashed in the darkness. Even a severely injured demon had power that was unimaginable to mortals. Those tiny whispers and murmurs were still trying to corrupt Shade's soul.
"Shad!"
Luvia's transparent figure stood in the distance, trying to hug Shade.
"Shad!"
Professor Manning, holding a book in his hand, seemed to be inviting Shad to come over and discuss the issue with him.
"Shad!"
Detective Sparrow had a soft expression on his face and waved to Shade in the same pajamas he had died in.
The phantoms of his familiar friends appeared one by one around him, tempting Shad to give up his current resistance.
Hallucination.
"I know."
Seeing that the phantoms of friends had no effect, the phantoms retreated into the darkness. Then, the shadows of wealth, power, and a large group of beautiful girls appeared in different directions in the darkness like traps. Although the demon of multiplying desires could not directly seduce Shade, its power to stimulate desires and amplify emotions still made Shade feel instinctively uncomfortable.
He realized that his desire was growing, but fortunately he had not developed any overly strong emotions so far.
