The Exorcist Boy: The Book of Conviction

Chapter 90 Seaport Shelling
"call……"

Snow wiped the sweat off his brow, worked hard for a long time, and finally cleaned up the suspects on the street.

After a rough calculation, he eliminated nearly fifty of the demons lurking in this port.

Most of them are Level 1, and a small number of Level 2 are not Snow's all-in-one enemy at all. Compared with the previous tauren, they are simply far worse.

But the demon entrenched here is really strange, it's like a mess of loose sand.

Wandering alone on the street in a daze, or a cat in a corner.

Snow only needs to glance at their soul colors, and then make judgments based on their behavior style, and he can basically tell the difference.

High-level demons can drive low-level demons, which is basic information that every exorcist knows.

But right now, the guys here are like a group of abandoned soldiers and defeated generals.

Captain Wood beside him followed behind Snow with a happy face.

Although he didn't know why the exorcist in front of him could find the trace of the devil so accurately, but this did not prevent him from expressing his admiration.

Because this city can be regarded as his garrison mission right now, the less demons there are, the safer they will be here.

but……

"Master Snow, are you a little uncomfortable?"

Seeing that Snow suddenly stopped in place and began to rub his eyebrows, Wood stepped forward and asked with concern.

The other party's state looks a bit wrong.

After all, it has been a high-intensity battle for most of the day. Although search team members are helping, they cannot cause fatal damage to the demon after all.

"Ah! No big problem, just a little tired. Is there a suitable place? I need to rest."

The room he booked for ten pounds just now has been completely smashed, and there is no need to stay in it after all.

At the same time, the key point is that his state is indeed very average now, because he expelled a lot of demons just now, so that the [Book of Conviction] was full.

Just now, the [Book of Conviction], which has absorbed enough sins of the soul, finally completely opened the fourth page that began to crumble when Felice's guilt was solved.

At the same time, it also gave Snow a brand new ability - [Soul Lock]

Therefore, the awakening of the new ability affected his state under certain factors.

Although he didn't pass out directly like getting the [Hand of Judgment of Soul], Snow, who felt a little lacking in mental strength, still felt that he should also take a good rest.

"Okay, I'll arrange a safe internal location for you right away."

As a search force stationed on the Rhine, they have a lot of local resources at their disposal.

Within a few minutes, they prepared a high-end hotel with some cooperation with the order.

At the same time, the security here is also guaranteed to a certain extent. Only people who have been introduced or are familiar faces can be allowed to enter.

Snow soon arrived at the new safe point, lay unsteadily on the bed, and closed his eyes.

[Soul Lock] is still a means to deal with the soul level, and it seems to be a bit weak.

This was the name of his new ability. Snow was no stranger to the engraved picture on the fourth page. It was the chain he used to absorb the sin attached to the soul every time after he solved the demon.

This kind of gray chain is invisible to others with the naked eye.

But this thing, Snow hasn't figured out how aggressive it can be.

And according to the information in the book, this skill, as the name suggests, is used to restrain the soul.

The chains can control the souls of the dead so that they cannot return to heaven after death.

Why does this skill feel so evil when applied? On the contrary, it is a bit similar to the method used by the Earl of the Millennium to create demons.

Playing with the soul?

Snow shook his head and shook off this terrible thought.

【Soul Lock】of course not only has this function, he also has a seemingly inconspicuous, but actually very buggy ability.

Read memory.

After the chain pierced into the soul of the deceased, Snow could selectively view the other's memory through its connection, so that he could obtain very important information from it.

At the same time, if conditions permit, Snow can also analyze the most impressive memories of their lives and use them for his own use.

For example, the soul controlled by the [Soul Lock] was particularly good at something, or a specialty.

Then Snow can also make a copy of their related memories, and then put it on his body to read, so as to get something for nothing, and gain the other party's high proficiency in a certain thing.

However, these abilities don't seem to be of any rigid use when used in the battle against demons.

If you insist, you can use the invisible characteristics of others to force the chain into the demon's body, and then directly pull out the restrained soul inside.

However, the movement of the chain also needs to be controlled by Snow's mental power. If the distance is too far or too complicated, it will also cause a certain burden on Snow's body.

"Aha!"

Snow sighed, always feeling that the [Book of Conviction] seemed to be trying to lead him to a less normal path.

Playing with people's souls, in this world, doesn't seem like what a decent person should do.

After lying down for a while, Snow felt that the swelling in his brain seemed to have disappeared a lot, so he got up from the bed.

But it was already dark outside.

Tomorrow, the ship that Archbishop Jotun is on will dock on time at 12:[-] noon, so I have to make preparations in advance.

There should be other demons missing in this city.

Snow looked at the brightly lit ship dock a few streets away, which was about to be built into the largest port in the Middle East.

"That's great! The bustling ordinary world is just like a big city like before."

Snow likes that kind of illusory and flashy metropolis, but the port opposite him now makes him regain some of the feeling he once had.

But...the lights are too bright.

Snow narrowed his eyes, and after a second, he realized it.

This stepping horse is a hammer light, this is the pier burning! ! !
Intense flames are burning the entire pier! ! !

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a rapid knock on the door behind him, and it was the former Captain Wood who rushed in.

"Lord Snow, although it's a bit inappropriate now... but the pier is currently under a large-scale demon attack, and the initial estimate is nearly a hundred Level 1.

Can you... can you go to support now? "

The search team members were wearing enchantment devices and rushed there as fast as possible.

Although they have no way to destroy the enemy, they all know that their station is nearby, but there is still a powerful exorcist?

As long as you persist for a while, when the exorcist arrives, they will definitely cooperate with each other to wipe out all the demons inside.

"I'm leaving now."

Although I don't know why the demons would suddenly attack a dock that was worthless to them.

But right now is not the time to explore the truth, Snow must leave for the battlefield as soon as possible, because every second of delay will result in more casualties.

The overcoat on the hanger that he took off casually was draped over his body, and then a shot blasted the window opposite him, and Snow jumped directly from the height of nearly the seventh floor.

Quickly rushed towards the burning pier.

Now the pier is in chaos, and the search troops who arrived in time can only be said to have barely stabilized the situation.

But there are still many innocent people affected by the fighting.

"Hold on, the exorcist will be here soon."

The commanding squad leader cheered up the morale of his subordinates loudly.

Most of the Level 1 circular demons floating in midair are framed by a transparent square barrier.

However, there were still a small number of demons who moved flexibly in the air, avoided the illumination of the enchantment device, and then used their weapons to attack the members of the search force on the ground.

One big downside of the portable enchantment device is that it can only capture one demon at a time.

At the same time, when the enemy is trapped, the search team members holding the enchantment device cannot move casually.

Otherwise, due to the deviation of the position and the angle of irradiation, it is very likely that the restrained demons will escape control again.

In this way, many search team members will be forced to become living targets that stay still.

Even if you choose a good fixed angle and place the portable nodule device in the open field, it will be quickly spotted and destroyed by the demons floating in the air.

"Captain! The line of defense~ the line of defense is about to be breached."

The number of people they improvised was not large. At the same time, in order to reduce casualties as much as possible, most of the search team members were in complex ports and chose to attack in a guerrilla manner.

But this time the demons attacked very well. They worked together as a team to slaughter unrelated civilians and attack the pier.

Even if some of the same kind are trapped during the battle, they will try to help the same kind, destroy the enchantment device or kill the search team.

There is no single action at all.

"Hold on, don't let them spread into the city along the port."

Holding a barrier device in his arms, the team leader issued strict orders again. Although the casualties on his own side were increasing, this was war.

But just as he finished speaking, he felt as if a huge black shadow was covering the sky above him.

The captain suddenly felt bad, and when he looked up, it was indeed a Level 1 demon.

The enemy had already discovered his position, and all the muzzles of the black holes on his body were aimed at him.

"It's over..."

As soon as such a thought flashed through his mind, the demon above his head exploded violently.

"It's an exorcist..."

Seeing the black-clothed figure who suddenly appeared and moved nimbly on the roof, the team leader heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that he walked through the gate of hell just now.

Snow, who was dodging quickly on the building, kept using the weapon in his hand to shoot out a series of red meteors, precisely destroying the demon trapped by the search forces on the ground.

This made the players below cheer loudly.

For people like them, the exorcist is the most powerful weapon of the order and the last hope of the holy war.

As long as there are exorcists fighting, they will not lose faith in this holy war.

It can be seen that the Vatican is quite good at controlling people's hearts.

However, the newly boosted morale of the search team members was quickly shattered, because they were subjected to something more brutal - shelling.

The shells fired from nowhere frantically covered nearly half of the port.

This should be a demon's attack, and the opponent's attack is powerful and ruthless, completely ignoring the demons who are fighting with the human side.

The powerful shelling involved many searchers, including the demons.

Even Snow, who was fighting, was caught off guard by this sudden run.

When the thick smoke partly dissipated, he could barely protect a few people including himself with the condensed four-sided white flame shield.

"Damn it, where did the shelling come from?"

Snow scanned his surroundings, but he didn't find any other newly appeared enemies.

"This power is too exaggerated. Where did it come from..."

Snow was startled, and suddenly looked at the pitch-black sea level in the distance.

Such an exaggerated attack actually came from the sea.

Although the attack methods of ordinary demons are limited to ordinary thermal weapons, with their strength, they are completely unable to create such a powerful bombing.

If you remember correctly, this kind of power is already very close to the "modern heavy artillery" in Snow's impression.

It is the kind of large-caliber howitzer that can be flattened, including half a football field, with one shot.

And this kind of weapon can't be manufactured at all with the current technology tree.

Obviously, a Level 1 ball demon cannot unleash such a threatening attack.

"Could it be that there are some special types of high-level demons that can be active in the sea?"

Snow turned his gaze to the sea outside the port, even though it was completely dark
But he could still vaguely distinguish a few rays of fire erupting on the sea level.

Apparently this is what the gunfire came from.

But how could such a large-caliber artillery be deployed on the sea.

unless……

A possibility suddenly flashed in Snow's mind.

Could it be that some demons have evolved into a ship-type existence?

When Level 1 demons are upgraded, they will upgrade into various strange demons according to the characteristics of their own souls.

After all, not long ago, Snow had blown up a guy who looked like a camera, and by the way, there was also a tauren.

Therefore, the evolution of demons cannot be speculated with common sense.

It's not surprising that some guys evolve into a pile of shit, and then attack with stink.

In his memory, he once saw some reports of ships mysteriously disappearing in a certain sea area or frequent encounters with pirates on a certain route in the newspapers of some coastal countries.

If all these things are done by the devil, then it is not difficult to guess that the devil may have a existence similar to a sea fleet, which is specially used to hunt and kill ships in the sea area.

"It's hard to do now."
