Hell has invaded, but my Hextech is invincible!

In the game, at the end of the first chapter, Kalodos' true form will cross the gates of hell and descend into the mortal world.

If he succeeds, not only Manchester, but half of England will be destroyed.

At the critical moment, church support finally arrived in Manchester, and together with the protagonist and his team, they destroyed the six altars in advance, weakening the power of the Gates of Hell, thus enabling them to enter the ruins of Manchester.

Finally, the rotating chairman of the Church Federation led the archbishops of the four major denominations to join forces and barely managed to push Carlodos, who had only stepped into half of his body, back into hell.

However, at the cost of at least a hundred high priests.

As a demon, Kalodos had long anticipated this outcome, and upon its arrival, it immediately chose its target to possess.

Although the original body was banished back to hell, the clone of its will secretly possessed a survivor in Manchester and left Manchester with that person.

After that, Calodos stirred up trouble among the people, constantly creating conflicts and contradictions, always hiding behind the scenes, and almost caused a civil war between England and France.

It wasn't until Chapter 8, when the protagonist joined forces with various factions, that they managed to send Kalodos back to Hell.

This is enough to prove that Kalodos possesses an extremely stealthy possession ability.

He could possess people silently and unnoticed, even in front of the rotating chairman of the Church Federation, several archbishops, hundreds of priests, thousands of priests, and tens of thousands of crusaders.

Even in his current projected form, he clearly possesses this ability.

Hextech is filled with fear, but on the surface he pretends to be calm and collected, as if he has already seen through everything.

He stared at the crowd and spoke in a cold voice.

"Stop pretending, Carlodos."

"The stench of hell emanating from you is almost suffocating me."

"Are you that afraid of this sword? Afraid it will really send you back to hell?"

"Or do you think I can't see through your tricks?"

"I told you long ago, I know all your tricks! You can't fool me."

"How is that possible?" Joanna retorted instinctively, her tone full of disbelief.

"It's just a projection; it can't withstand a single blow from the blessed artifact."

Inessa's face was pale, but she stared intently at Hextech, her voice weak yet firm.

"Mr. Horus, I trust your judgment."

Ada also sensed something was wrong. A strange sense of unease lingered in her heart, as if an invisible force was constantly interfering with her thoughts.

As a top agent and one of the few clear-headed individuals in the United Front, she knew all too well what this unease meant.

The fact that everyone present was anxious and uneasy only proved that Hextech's words were likely true, and that the Demon Lord had not left at all.

Once Ada understood this, she felt a sense of peace.

That was a powerful demon lord capable of altering history. Even if it was just a projection, it would take at least several bishops of a city church, leading all the clergy and crusaders in a full-scale siege to barely eliminate him.

Although the Church Federation and the United Front have dispatched elite troops, the cost of only a few dozen elite warriors and a few clergy is far too low and does not conform to the usual practice of dealing with demons of this level.

"Hex Horus, it seems this Demon Lord doesn't want to show himself." Ada quickly coordinated with Hex.

"Do you have a way of pinpointing where it's hiding?"

Hextech didn't say much, but walked straight to the holy sword that was shimmering with divine light and grabbed the hilt.

"Wait!" Joanna exclaimed in surprise and quickly stopped her.

"Non-clergy are not qualified to touch the holy sword; they will be burned by its holy power!"

"Is there such a setting?" Hextech was slightly taken aback.

The next second, the blazing holy flames instantly spread along his arm, engulfing his entire body, and his health points plummeted.

[Health Points -150]

Current Health: 2350/2500

[Temporary Status: Radiation Bleeding (Health -3/s)]

Holy crap, so to get the Guardian Artifact you have to lose health first, and then you have to give yourself a continuous bleeding buff.

No wonder only a few people can possess the sacred artifact of blessing.

Based on Hextech's original health points, an average person in this world would have around 20 or 30 health points.

Even enhanced soldiers or crusaders with special technology probably only have a few hundred health points.

Even these enhanced humans lost 150 HP in one go, and then had a debuff that caused them to lose HP every second.

Basically, he would die within a single breath.

Most ordinary people indeed cannot use the sacred artifacts.

But Hextech has 2,500 health.

Moreover, his health regeneration is calculated per second.

I'm not afraid, not at all.

Hextech winced as the burn scalded him, but held the Lionheart sword firmly in his hand.

This scene shocked Joanna and Inessa, who were filled with disbelief.

How could an unbeliever grasp the sacred artifact and not be burned to ashes by the holy power?

It should be noted that only a small number of people in the church are allowed to possess and use the consecrated reliquary.

Is he a born saint?

Although his health was maintained, the pain did not lessen. Hextech endured the burning pain, slowly raised the holy sword, aimed it at the people in front of him, and spoke in a cold tone.

"Since you refuse to come out on your own, don't blame me for forcing you out myself."

The sword tip first pointed at Benev, whose expression changed drastically. He shouted angrily, "What do you want to do? Horus, it wasn't me!"

"Of course I know it wasn't you," Hex said calmly.

"Caldos is a demon lord under the Fifth Demon God."

"I like art and mathematics, and I'm good at intrigue and scheming."

"I won't choose to possess a human like you who only has muscles in his head."

"You are more in line with the aesthetic of the Bloodbath Demon on the 666th floor."

After he finished speaking, he turned the tip of his sword towards Joanna.

Joanna's expression was resolute: "I am a devout crusader!"

"If I am possessed, you must cleanse me of my sins."

After saying that, he looked completely at ease, as if he were about to be executed.

"It's not you," Hex said.

"Sergeant Joanna, your thinking is too simplistic and doesn't fit its aesthetic."

Immediately, the sword tip pointed directly at Inessa, whose face was deathly pale.

Joanna tensed up instantly and quickly stepped in front of Inessa.

"It couldn't be a nun!"

"You don't need to be nervous," Hex said, looking at Inessa. "Just say the name of God."

Inessa had been exhausted from her previous exertion; her face was so pale it was pitiful, and she had lost her usual cool and sharp demeanor, appearing more fragile.

She clasped her hands together in front of her chest and softly and devoutly chanted, "Devout Lord."

"May the evildoers hidden in the fire cease their deception."

A white light emanated from her body, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Seeing this, Hextech slowly slid the tip of his sword toward Ada.

Ada maintained her elegant smile and calmly asked, "Is it me?"

"That's suitable, after all, I'm not entirely innocent and I have multiple identities."

"It makes perfect sense that it chose to possess me."

"Indeed, you are the prime suspect," Hex nodded.

"So what do you plan to do?" Ada raised an eyebrow. "Are you going to just purify me with your sword?"

Hextech raised his longsword, but instead of slashing at Ada, he abruptly changed direction, pressing the tip of the sword against Emily's forehead.

"Get out here, Calodos!"
