Almost out of instinct, Kieran looked at the [Sister Reid Statue].
The statue that was glowing with a dazzling light a moment ago was now gloomy. It even gave Kieran a feeling that it wasn't light but more like smoke.
Right away, when he turned around to the scrawny elder who looked like a spirit, Kieran realized something in his heart.
The elder did it on purpose!
He purposely stood close to the main building of St. Reid Hospital!
He wanted the explosion to spread throughout the whole hospital, allowing the Marulyn friars to draw out more of the [Sister Reid Statue]'s power.
Only when the [Sister Reid Statue]'s power was weakened to a certain extent, could the elder come in and destroy the statue!
Seeing the scrawny elder dashing towards the statue in his spirit form, Kieran instantly knew what the elder wanted to do.
Without further hesitation, Kieran dashed out from the shadows.
It had nothing to do with justice.
It was because Kieran couldn't bear the consequences of [Sister Reid Statue] being destroyed.
Kieran didn't even need to speculate, he was certain that if the man really destroyed the [Sister Reid Statue], he would not be able to escape.
Then …
The whole St. Reid Hospital would be drowned by the souls of the dead.
With Kieran's current condition, he wouldn't be able to defend against a huge number of souls.
Let alone the other members of the Elder Council.
"Who is it?!"
The sudden appearance of Kieran shocked the friars of Marulyn Church.
Fortunately, Kieran didn't have to worry about being bombarded by dozens of rockets inside the hospital. All he had to do was face a bunch of sword-wielding friars with a slightly better physique than a common man.
Kieran twisted his steps and -1 [Evading] was still at Grand Master level.
Grand Master level [Nimble Steps] allowed Kieran to move like a nimble fish, weaving through the friars' bodies.
The [Interrogator Knife] in his hand sliced through the air like lightning.
Of course, it was only in the eyes of the friars.
In fact, it was the [Interrogator Knife] that cut a wound on the scrawny elder's spirit form.
It was not a fatal injury.
In fact, it couldn't even be considered a moderate injury.
However, [Interrogator Knife]'s special attribute [Interrogator's Viciousness] brought great pain to the scrawny elder in his soul form.
Especially when Kieran equipped the title [Evil Spirit Killer], the pain made the skinny old man cry out in pain.
After the ear-piercing wail of the dead, the Marulyn friars that surrounded them were forced to retreat. Some of them even fell to the ground and never got up again.
As for Kieran?
He gave the skinny old man another slash without any effect, causing the old man's roar to become even more pained.
It wasn't the first time the Marulyn friars clashed with the Elder Council, so they quickly understood what happened. The friars didn't even care about their fallen comrades and gathered in front of the [Sister Reid Statue], kneeling down and praying.
Instantly, the smoke-like light solidified again, turning into a bright light that was only an inch wide.
The shriveled old man in the state of a dead soul was in even more pain.
A layer of thick black smoke came out from his body, even the basic invisibility of the dead soul couldn't be maintained anymore.
However, his aura was many times scarier than before.
If the shriveled old man in his invisible state was in between a vicious spirit and an evil spirit, the current him instantly reached the level of a demon.
And … it wasn't just a low tier demon.
A high tier demon!
A high tier demon that evolved from a human soul!
A layer of black scales appeared on the skinny old man's body. His originally scrawny body grew stronger like a balloon.
His scrawny hands grew longer and sharper.
When the transformation stopped, the old man had transformed from a scrawny old man into a strong gorilla.
Especially those thick sharp claws that hammered the ground, the tremors it caused made Kieran's face change for the worse.
He could clearly tell how terrifying the strength of the old man was.
Plus the black glow on his body, the scales looked unusually sturdy.
If he wasn't weakened and had all his equipment, Kieran wouldn't mind fighting the old man.
Now, the corner of Kieran's eyes started to glance over the escape route in the hall.
The faces of the Marulyn warriors were ugly as well.
"Twenty Hounds!"
One of the friars shouted.
The other friars showed fear on their faces.
But soon enough, the fear was suppressed by the faith in their hearts.
One after another, they knelt down and prayed sincerely.
"O Saint Reid! We pray for your light to drive away the darkness! "
"O Saint Reid! We pray for your light to shine upon the weak! "
"O Saint Reid! We pray for your light to bring peace once more … We are willing to pay with our lives! "
…
Amid the prayers, the light on the statue shone brighter.
It infuriated Bloody Mary though.
"Saint Reid?
A mere mortal enjoying the treatment of a God?
A bunch of pitiful, lowly bastards who were brainwashed by that old bastard Gannett. You think you can get protection by praying like this?
You think you can defeat me?
Just a dead man's statue! "
A heavy thunderous voice came from Bloody Mary's mouth.
The loud voice turned into a strong wind, bringing up a black light that shot out in all directions.
The friars that fainted and the innocent doctors and nurses who didn't even know what happened were swiftly withering under the black light.
Only the area around the statue that was shrouded by the light wasn't affected.
Kieran who was slowly backing away shrunk his eyes.
He changed his direction of retreat without a second thought and stood beside the [Sister Reid Statue]. For the first time, he was truly bathed in the light.
Then …
"Young hunter, please help them!"
A voice suddenly sounded in Kieran's heart.
The unexpected voice made Kieran tighten his grip on the [Interrogator Knife].
"Who is it?"
Kieran asked.
Kieran looked at the statue but his eyes were looking at the statue beside him.
When Kieran looked at the statue, the statue also turned around to Kieran as if it came alive.
The statue's face was old but filled with kindness.
Its eyes even had a sense of love.
"It's me, young hunter!
I hope you can help them! "
The statue pointed at the Marulyn friars who knelt down and prayed.
At the edge of the light, darkness had started to devour the friars who were praying.
It was getting closer step by step.
Soon enough, the darkness would devour all the friars who were praying.
Including Kieran who was standing beside the statue.
"What should I do?"
Kieran asked straightforwardly.
"Open your heart and accept my blessing!"
The statue said slowly, its voice getting more and more merciful.
Kieran squinted his eyes.
Open my heart?
Accept your blessing?
