American Exorcism Male God

Maria looked around, noticing the ground covered with scorching, golden lava as the acrid smell of sulfur pervaded the air.

Logically, the boiling lava should have raised the temperature, but here it was quite the opposite; it was extremely low, one might even say freezing, with icy white fog drifting all around.

"Is this Hell?" Maria murmured to herself.

Both Judy and Xu Xiaoyu had Locating Magic Artifacts on them. When their locations were tracked, everyone got quite a shock—both of them had been abducted into Hell.

It wasn't their fault they hadn't been able to protect them; who could have anticipated that one second they were in peaceful Boston, and the next, they were under attack by an onslaught of Dark Creatures.

It was especially unfortunate that at that time, Judy was out shopping with Xu Xiaoyu, so they were not around to respond immediately.

Maria felt an oppressive heaviness in her heart, realizing that their opponent this time was likely a Hell Demon.

It was a straightforward deduction; the scene of disappearance bore signs of the Gate of Hell being opened, something Common Demons were incapable of doing, only a Hell Demon could control the Gate of Hell.

Maria turned her head back, looking at the rescue team behind her.

The rescue team consisted of thirty-two members, all of them among the top experts, but she didn't feel much confidence in her heart.

Such a small group trying to rescue someone from the hands of a Hell Demon probably wasn't enough.

But there was no choice, time was of the essence, and the Array's capacity for transport was limited. Being able to assemble these people in a short time was almost the limit.

"Be careful!" Maria suddenly turned her head alertly, shouting a warning, and at the same time she relinquished control of her body to Ailan.

Ailan drew the twin blades from her back, the katana "Pride" in her left hand and the Tang Sword "Anger" in her right. The weapons were activated, and their blades shimmered with beautiful patterns.

"Anger" Tang Sword used to belong to Xu Yi, but after Xu Yi disappeared, in accordance with his last wishes, they sought out a new owner for "Anger" Tang Sword to gather Original Sin Energy.

But the sword was not so easily controlled, and in the end, it was Ailan who wielded it.

Everyone in the rescue team instantly gripped their weapons tighter and looked around. Vague shadows began to emerge from the ice fog; they were surrounded!

Ed was naturally a member of the rescue team. It wasn't just Xu Xiaoyu who was abducted by a Demon God, but his daughter, Judy, too.

"I should have kept a closer eye on them!" Ed regretted in his heart.

But he also knew that regret was pointless now, and he had to concentrate and deal with the situation at hand.

Fortunately, before they set off, when he went to the church to pray, God had answered him, leaving a "seed" within him.

A dark shadow leaped out from the ice fog, and Ed instinctively blocked it with his Holy Cross Hammer.

Sharp claws struck the head of the hammer, sending sparks flying.

Ed's hand went to his waist, drawing out the dagger from his belt. The black dagger blossomed with a brilliant dark golden glow and violently stabbed toward the shadow.

If Xu Yi were here, he would definitely recognize that the dagger in Ed's hand was the "Gluttony" dagger.

Ed had become the Proxy for the "Gluttony" dagger.

The dagger pierced through the shadow, and the shadow screamed, attempting to retreat but was subsequently struck down by the rest of the rescue team members, pinning it to the ground.

The shadow didn't die completely; it was still struggling and writhing madly on the ground.

It was a monster with goat-like horns, resembling a human body but much taller, about three meters, its surface covered with volcanic rock-like scales, and a ferocious countenance.

"Demon True Body!" Ed's face turned pale.

In the real world, one could only see the Demon's avatars, rarely the True Body, but this was Hell.

As the Demon roared with anger, battle was imminent. A tide of Demons surged toward them, as the members of the rescue team unleashed their abilities, with lightning and flame bursting forth.

Ailan stood amidst the raging lightning, her twin blades whirring to leave afterimages, and her sword energy swept through the Demon Tide, the high voltage lightning annihilating a large number of Demons.

Lightning was greatly effective against these Demons, but there was no hint of a smile on Ailan's face.

She looked around and felt her heart sinking.

"Look for an opportunity to break through!" she bellowed.

There were simply too many Demons, swarming densely, as far as the eye could see. If they couldn't break through soon, they all risked perishing here!

The response to Ailan was not a human voice, but an animal's roar, mixed with the distinctive meow of a felid.

Named "Black Carp," the Cat Demon flapped its wings, and the strong wind blew away the dense ice fog. Seizing the moment the fog cleared, Lisa on the back of Black Carp saw the distant Stone Pillar Forest.

Even from such a distance, one could still feel the grandeur of those pillars, each one piercing the sky and reaching deep into the earth.

Lisa's eyes instantly reddened, her "Sloth" Spear swept horizontally, knocking the demons in front of her flying.

She patted the Black Carp beneath her, who let out an angry roar, then resolutely charged into the midst of the demon horde.

"Lisa!" Ailan roared from behind her, but Lisa acted as if she couldn't hear, her whole body erupting with a pure light, carving a bloody path through the Demon Tide.

Lisa had left a Tracking Talisman on Xu Xiaoyu, and at this moment, she sensed Xu Xiaoyu's presence in the Stone Pillar Forest.

How could she, as a mother, bear it?

...

Judy walked through the Stone Pillar Forest, gripping Xu Xiaoyu's wrist tightly. Grasping so forcefully that his wrist turned pale without her noticing.

She felt something peering at them from the shadows, but when she suddenly turned, there were only the huge grayish-white pillars with their monster statues at the top, dried and cracked like weathered rock.

Judy quickened her pace, but after just a few steps, she abruptly stopped, staring at the red ribbons tied around the pillar ahead, feeling her hair stand on end.

The red ribbons were her markers to denote their location.

She had returned to the starting point.

At the top of each pillar were various monster statues, none exactly alike. Theoretically, even a blind person couldn't make a wrong turn, yet this was the third time.

Were they experiencing a ghost hitting a wall?

A cold sweat formed at Judy's temples. With her current abilities, a common ghost hitting the wall should have been totally apparent, yet she had not noticed anything amiss.

"Don't worry! Xiaoyu, I will definitely get you out of here!" Judy muttered to herself, comforting both Xu Xiaoyu and herself.

Xu Xiaoyu didn't speak, his expression indifferent, appearing even calmer than Judy. It was unclear whether it was because of his young age not understanding the gravity of their situation or some other reason.

Suddenly, the sound of something cutting through the air came from behind. Judy, now as jumpy as a scared bird, whipped around.

It was a full set of nun's clothing, the black robe and white headscarf and wimple fluttering fiercely in the air.

She relaxed slightly, but then immediately sensed something wrong. In this eerie place, the appearance of a nun's habit was suspicious no matter how one looked at it.

Most importantly, the clothing moved as if alive, lunging towards Xu Xiaoyu.

Judy was shocked and instinctively stepped in front of Xu Xiaoyu.

The nun's habit enveloped her in an instant, and Judy struggled to break free, but the next second, she felt a cold touch on her wrist.

She was grabbed by something.

Judy slowly lifted her head, as if plunging into an ice cellar.

The shrunken nun's habit had been propped up, and unbeknownst to them, a figure had appeared inside the habit.

To call it human would be inaccurate; the face beneath the white headscarf was hideous and terrifying, the pale skin cracked like flaky white wall paint, with blood-red pupils and razor-sharp teeth resembling those of some large wild beast.

Although Judy had seen a myriad of terrifying monsters, facing this face still caused her body to uncontrollably tremble, chilled to the core.

"Ghost Nun Valak!"

Seeing the nun's habit and that hideous face, Judy finally remembered some things.

When she was young, she had seen this figure and it had left a profound impression because her father, Ed, had nearly died at the hands of Ghost Nun Valak.

They had been dragged into this place amid chaos, so she hadn't been able to see the Ghost Nun.

Was the Ghost Nun seeking revenge? Judy couldn't help but wonder.

Her parents once jointly expelled the Ghost Nun, thwarting her plans; now, it seemed logical that she had come for retribution.

But Judy felt it was not so simple, for the Ghost Nun's attention wasn't on her at all. Instead, she stared intently at Xu Xiaoyu, her blood-red pupils revealing a deep hunger.
