New Gods of North America.

Chapter 395 Melee
Lina was using something like a spider silk to pull a guy who she didn't know who he was and was running towards the detective agency's yard.
Chameleon and Liam, who saluted as he ran past Wayne, followed behind her.

Wayne couldn't retreat now.
What if none of the detective agency members are here, and the extraordinary materials are "hacked" by the exorcism department?

Continuing to approach the "dangerous" side, Wayne soon saw a bloated monster whose body could probably reach the ceiling of the second floor when it stood up.

The monster was hunched over, and its outline seemed quite "robust", but unfortunately its body was covered with decay and rot, and there were many holes that I didn't know if they were breathing holes. They opened and closed irregularly, and strange-colored juice kept dripping down.

Its head has become noticeably enlarged and deformed, its eyes are bulging like "light bulbs", the slit between its cheeks and mouth extends all the way to below its ears, its claws are still human-style, but its nails are thick, sharp, and "hooked back" type.

At this time, the monster was trampling the fallen horse and eating the corpse of his companion.
The picture does not show the beast lying on the ground with its head down enjoying its prey, but rather it is arching its back but raising its upper body, biting one prey in each hand, and even biting off the head and chewing it in one bite.

How should I describe it?
The tragic atmosphere was a bit like the famous dark painting "The God of Agriculture Devouring His Son" that Wayne had seen in his previous life.
It's a bit like Tom Cat having a concert...

David Mills quickly followed behind Wayne and gave instructions to the members of the Exorcism Department who followed behind:

"Ghoul type! Suspected to be in the 'life' area, everyone try to keep your distance to avoid casualties! This kind of guy is likely to become stronger the more he eats."

"Yes!" The response from nearby was also serious, without the previous ease.

No way? This thing is actually a "ghoul"?
Wayne originally thought that some folklore picture books had already tried their best to make ghouls "horrifying".

But now looking at it this way, it is still the version after skin smoothing and beautification.

Apart from the so-called "dog head" and "sharp claws", the rest are completely different from the traditional impression of "ghoul", right?
Especially since the flesh and blood of this monster seemed to be constantly rotting into liquid.
Not only did it gnaw on the corpse in its hand, it also occasionally "licked" the blood left on its own body.

The Wendigo that Wayne saw with his own eyes,

It looks more like a real monster than this one...

The church's battle style seems to have lagged behind the times.

Although most of the members of the Exorcism Department were dressed in uniforms similar to those of the Georgeburg police, they were obviously equipped with guns.

But the stuff they chose to take out were still the "previous version" of the stuff.

Several crossbow arrows were quickly shot out from the folding crossbow, one of which had a thin rope attached to it and pierced the "ghoul"'s shoulder. An exorcist tied the end of the thin rope to a big tree, and then pulled it hard as the monster screamed in pain.
The barbs on the metal arrows seemed to have successfully pierced into the monster's flesh, and the holy water bottle and some grease bottles also exploded on his body at the same time.

"Oh!"

The monster threw the corpse it was holding towards the "crossbowman". Its swollen body quickly ran on all fours twice like a cheetah, and then leaped up -

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Wayne raised his revolver and used his hand to assist in cocking the hammer for rapid fire.

After being shot, the monster did not change its trajectory. It fell to the ground howling with the net unfolded in mid-air. Its body was slightly hindered, and it failed to knock the "crossbowman" to the ground, but it still knocked him backwards with one blow.

Several exorcists were busy circling around in the outer area. One of them quickly caught his companion who was knocked away and pulled him away.
The net was torn apart, but the thin ropes attached to the crossbows seemed "hot" and elastic.
The monster's attack failed, and it couldn't break free from the crossbow and rope for a while. It quickly turned its body towards Wayne, but first chose to pick up the corpse of its companion at hand and took a big bite of it. Under its blasted eyeballs, a new pair of eyes "popped" out.

Wayne suddenly felt that what he lacked was a convenient "medium" that he could carry with him at all times and make into a "bomb" to throw at the opponent at close range to fill the gap between shooting distance and close range.

There was nothing to complain about at this time. Wayne held the holy water bottle he had brought with him in his left hand, injected spiritual power into the glass, and held the pistol in his right hand.

While backing up to find cover, he planned to blow the monster's eyes out when it jumped again. This damn thing could actually jump so far.
Even if it can heal itself, it probably wouldn't look good if it bit off your head...

The monster didn't give Wayne too much time. After swallowing it, it took another bite. Before it even chewed, it pounced on Wayne again.

"careful!"

"boom!"

One of its eyes exploded in mid-air, and the thin rope behind it was broken after being stretched to its limit. The monster's huge body fell to the ground with a splash of water and a slight vibration.
David Mills pulled out a long rapier from somewhere, and jumped onto the monster's back with fluorescent light all over his body. The fluorescent light was transmitted to the tip of the rapier, and then pierced into the monster's back.

The monster howled in pain and turned around to attack David Mills, who rolled a distance away, half falling and half blocking.
Wayne barely dodged the monster's claws that could have dug a hole in the ground, and left the holy water bottle filled with two levels of spiritual power in place.

"Bam—"

Half of the monster's chest and abdomen were hit by the debris, leaving some fluid, but it didn't look like the injury was serious.

The elbow that came into direct contact with the "bomb" was successfully blown off.

hiss……

This thing is really disgusting. It even eats its own arms. The sound sounds crisp, and it is like chewing sugarcane, with gray and green juice oozing out of the wide mouth.

David Mills took the leather shield thrown by a companion and tried to attract the monster's attention by turning on the fluorescent light.

Several fires had already lit up around them, and several exorcists outside had begun chanting.
The exorcists, who were shooting crossbows from time to time and setting ropes and scattering things in the "venue", seemed to have completed their arrangements.

The monster's arms are growing back.
When it tried to jump again, Wayne shot its eyes twice more, then held a holy water bottle in both hands and injected spiritual power into it at maximum power.
In the end, David Mills and an exorcist shouted and attracted the monster's attention. The monster pounced forward without waiting for its eyes to grow back.

A spiritual force began to rapidly transmit along the rope on the ground, and a magic circle seemed to be faintly lit up around it.
The holy water bottle, which consumed nearly half of Wayne's spiritual power, rolled to the place where the monster landed.
The chanting of the exorcists seemed to have reached a certain resonance point.

As the flames around him suddenly became extremely bright and then went out in an instant, the leather shield in David Mills' hand was broken, and he rolled backwards.

It seemed as if some power suddenly exploded in the magic circle.

Wayne's bomb also chose to "explode" at this time -

"Bang!!!"

It was as if a "giant wind" was blowing up from the ground within the range of the magic circle, and the outline of the monster was blown to pieces at the center of the magic circle.

The hat on Wayne's head didn't seem to be blown away at all, but Wayne's mind suddenly went blank, and the remaining spiritual power in his body was "blown away" like sand, almost to the bottom.

No,

How come your magic circle even weakens your “friendly forces”?

Without telling me in advance...
