nApparently, as Vale scanned the surroundings, he realized that the Demon Saint’s spirit, which was disguised as a normal Spirit, was actually bound to something…

nTo be exact, it was bound to the relic at the Altar.

n‘Did he get captured by the Deadly Sin? Or is it something else?’ Shane mused as he felt confused about their connection.

nIt was unfortunate that the Demon Saint’s Spirit had already disappeared, but nonetheless, the clue she had given was certainly great.

nHe didn’t even know that Aubrey could do such a ritual.

n‘As expected of a student who graduated at the top of her class.’ Vale thought to himself.

n“B-but, destroying the Altar… That would be-” The Mayor couldn’t help but feel complicated about this.

nThe others could understand this since it was supposed to be sacred.

nHowever, the fact that the Exorcists couldn’t find the source of the problem means that the Evil Spirt must be using something that they wouldn’t think they would suspect.

nThe Altar was certainly a perfect guise for their evil activity.

n“Let’s destroy it.” Werhan said after being looked at by Aubrey. In the end, Aubrey was just a paranormal expert, and she wasn’t permitted to destroy things within the Church of the Fortune Goddess.

n“Then… Let me.”

nAubrey Hall then raised her hand, the dark energy pulsing within her.

nShe hoped that destroying the Altar would really yield the clue they needed to stop the paranormal activities plaguing Eldergrove town.

nAs her spell struck the stone, a shockwave rippled through the room.

nThe Altar cracked, and its ancient symbols splintered.

nBut then, something unexpected happened-black smoke appeared, and the very fabric of reality seemed to tear.

n“Kekeke… That Demon Saint really broke my plans… Hey, I’m even eating all those wandering Evil Spirits for you but you just have to set them free! Tsk… If I could eat all of them at once, this won’t be happening…”

nAn eerie voice was suddenly heard, and Vale knew that it was from another Deadly Sin…

n‘They’re eating Evil Spirits?’ Vale was shocked. The others eat people’s desire, their hopes, their flesh, or their souls, but this Deadly Sin actually eats the Evil Spirit to strengthen itself.

nThen, from the shattered Altar, hundreds of ethereal forms emerged! They were the Evil Spirits that the Deadly Sin tried to gather and eat!

nTheir eyes glowed with rage, and their wails echoed through the church.

nPanic swept through the room, and Aubrey realized they had made a grave mistake.

nThe malevolent energy immediately spread throughout the whole town!

nThe townsfolk screamed, their fear feeding the spirits.

nVale’s Avatar, frowned at this as he stepped forward.

n“You’re not getting away…”

nVale then released his Shadow Domain-a dark barrier that trapped the spirits within the church. But the spirits were restless. They just obtained a chance to be freed so they wouldn’t just give up!

nThey started clawing at the edges of the barrier. Their rage could truly be felt by everyone in the church!

n“Let’s work together!”

nAubrey then joined forces with the Exorcists.

nThe Exorcists were, of course, prepared as they saw the Evil Spirits… This is what they were trained for.

nThey soon chanted ancient Holy Incantations. The building was soon filled with Holy Energy as their exorcism spells were released.

nHowever, there were just too many of them!

nThankfully, Aubrey’s Dark Sealing Spells sought to bind the spirits, but they writhed, resisting her control. Nonetheless, it was enough to protect the Mayor and herself.

nThe Exorcists then wielded their Holy Artifacts-they were crosses and relics glowing with holy light. They then started driving the spirits back into the corner of the church…

nHowever, the battle was far from won. They really wanted to tear them apart as they could not escape.

nAubrey’s heart raced. She wanted to ask Vale to eliminate the Evil Spirits but it seemed that Vale was busy with something else.

nIt was as if he was holding back a stronger force.

nShe decided not to ask about it as her eyes fell on the shattered Altar-the source of their problem… It was still oozing with dark energy…

n‘Should I seal them back to the altar?’ She thought for a moment.

nHowever, she didn’t really have the time to think as the Evil Spirits were just too many!

nShe focused her energy as she decided to triple cast this time… She started making another Dark Sealing Spell targeting the Altar…

nHowever, Vale suddenly stopped her…

n“The Altar will not help… It’s better to destroy all of them now. Use your most flashy spell.”

nVale said.

nAubrey hesitated, but she immediately knew what Vale was trying to do…

nShe immediately used her Phantom Fog Spell!

nAs soon as she did this, Vale also released his spell!

nAnd then, with a blinding flash, all the Evil Spirits shattered. Light and darkness clashed, and

nthe church trembled.

nIt happened so quickly that the Exorcists were just stunned.

nWhen the fog disappeared, the spirits were gone.

n“It’s gone?” Werhan said while catching his breath..

nAs for the Mayor, he didn’t even see the battle scene; he had curled on his feet ever since the

nEvil Spirits had appeared.

nAubrey sank to her knees, her breath ragged. The other Exorcists also panted, their robes

nstained with sweat.

n“It’s over…”

nVale’s Avatar nodded…

nAfter a few moments, the Mayor recovered and looked at the surroundings with his eyes wide.

n“You did it,” he said.

n“The town is safe!”

nAlthough he hadn’t inspected the surroundings of the town yet, he knew that all those Evil Spirits were the cause of the problem. Now that they have all been defeated, everything

nshould be fine.

nAubrey, on the other hand, glanced at the shattered Altar. “But what did we release?” She whispered to Vale. Shen knew that there was something else in that Altar a while ago. She heard its voice after all.

n“It’s another Deadly Sin… I’ll take care of it…” Vale said. Then, he soon disappeared from the

nchurch.

nHe already knew which Deadly Sin it was since it previously tried to take all the Evil Spirits back… Then, with the power provided to him by Pride, he felt the presence of Sloth.
