American Exorcism Male God

Ratma instinctively covered his chest with his claws, trying to block the statue inside. The statue sensed Xu Yi's gaze and burrowed deeper into the flesh, attempting to hide itself.

Xu Yi stared intensely at the Evil God statue, his pupils flickering with an eerie green light, like a wolf that had been starving for three days and nights suddenly discovering a prey with a broken leg.

The hope of killing the Evil God was right in front of him—who could resist such a temptation?

Empowered by the Fog of Obscurity, Xu Yi's body shot forward like a cannonball, his hand gripping the Saint O'Hagan tightly, ready to deliver a deadly blow to the Evil God.

But he suddenly came to an abrupt stop and flew backwards, creating distance.

Ratma chanted in an unknown language, his voice between a wild beast's roar and a choir's chant, eerie and filled with a certain beauty.

Xu Yi clutched his head, as low murmurs began to appear beside his ears, the murmurs like sharp-toothed insects attempting to bite open his skull and burrow deep into his brain.

He summoned the Fog of Obscurity from within his body to defend himself, feeling slightly better.

Blood-red pupils suddenly opened all over Ratma's body, not one, but three, five... hundreds. Ratma's entire body was covered with blood-red eyes, even sparing none on his ears.

The countless blood-red eyes blinked in unison, their eyeballs rolling around, occasionally sweeping over Xu Yi. Xu Yi felt as if his heart was being gripped by an invisible hand, and the hairs on his body stood on end.

Thick black blood started flowing from the eyes as if crying. The black blood covered the ground, more and more of it, starting as puddles, then small streams, rivers...

"Lisa! Run!" Xu Yi's face suddenly turned pale as he turned his head and roared at Lisa behind him.

Lisa's battlefield wasn't far from him; otherwise, he would not have been able to shoot the Giant Rats with the Alchemy Revolver and absorb the Fog of Obscurity.

About five hundred meters away from him, Lisa was close to finishing her fight. In the state of Divine Arrival, those Giant Rats were nothing but targets for her.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

As long as the Giant Rats could not form an encirclement, Lisa would be safe.

Upon hearing Xu Yi's shout, Lisa instinctively turned her head, and a look of fear appeared on her expressionless face for the first time.

A towering black tidal wave swept across, hitting the top of the sewer.

The layout of this dark space was the same as the sewer, only it was hundreds of times larger to accommodate so many Giant Rats.

Even in the sewers of the real world, it would be very difficult to flood them with water, let alone the Different Space sewer expanded a hundred times over.

Lisa's instincts told her to turn and flee, but that's when she heard the cries of Black Carp. Somehow, Black Carp had already run under the Cat Spirit Holy Tree and was anxiously calling out to Lisa.

The black water surged with a force far surpassing that of an ordinary flash flood because a mysterious power was controlling the black water.

Lisa knew very well that with her current speed, she couldn't outrun the black blood flood. She decisively turned and dashed toward the Cat Spirit Holy Tree.

Because the Cat Spirit Holy Tree was near the flood's source, it was as though Lisa was charging directly into the flood.

Just as she was about to be engulfed by the flood, a green vine suddenly wrapped around her waist and pulled her into the space within the Cat Spirit Holy Tree.

"Thank you!" Lisa looked up at the Cat Spirit Holy Tree and expressed her gratitude, as it was the Holy Tree that had saved her.

She looked around for Xu Yi's figure.

Theoretically, Xu Yi should have noticed it sooner and was closer to the Cat Spirit Holy Tree; he should have arrived before her.

She scanned the area, not finding Xu Yi. A second look, a third... still no sign of him.

A great fear filled her heart. She suddenly realized something and violently turned her head to look toward the center of the black blood flood, where a small figure was struggling desperately.

"Xu Yi!" Lisa roared as she lunged forward, trying to save Xu Yi, but vines were still wrapped around her waist.

She tried to break free of the vines when suddenly the golden light in her pupils dissipated, and the strength drained from her body.

The sudden change felt like a millionaire abruptly reduced to a beggar begging on the streets, a powerful sense of emptiness engulfing him.

But this was not the worst part. Lisa suddenly collapsed on the ground, her body convulsing violently as a fine mist of blood seeped from her muscles.

Her palms desperately clutched at the ground, her fingernails scraping until they bled, yet the pain was so intense that she couldn't even cry out.

Divine Arrival was time-limited, the more progress made in the Entries, the longer it would sustain.

At the same time, Divine Arrival had side effects. If the Entries had been completed, the side effects would not have been so severe, but Lisa had activated it prematurely, resulting in side effects magnified tenfold.

The Black Carp circled around Lisa anxiously. It looked up at the Cat Spirit Holy Tree, meowing incessantly, with its golden feline eyes filled with supplication.

The vines of the Cat Spirit Holy Tree reached above Lisa, and a "Mint Leaf" fluttered down towards her.

In the throes of agony, Lisa smelled the fragrance and opened her mouth subconsciously, swallowing the "Mint Leaf." Her condition improved instantly, her body stopped convulsing violently, and her breathing stabilized.

Lisa fell into a coma, yet unknowingly, tears slid silently from the corners of her eyes, the sadness in her brows almost overflowing.

The Black Carp looked at the figure within the dark blood flood and then up at the Cat Spirit Holy Tree, letting out an exceedingly mournful meow.

The Cat Spirit Holy Tree twisted as if hesitating. Moments later, a dream-like green flash of light sparkled and then vanished from its vines.

In the dark blood flood, Xu Yi looked back at the Cat Spirit Holy Tree.

The flood had engulfed the entire space, all that met the eye was black blood water.

Yet with the power of his Eyes of Obscurity, he could still see the glowing Cat Spirit Holy Tree, which stood in the flood like a Sea-Calming Divine Needle, invisible forces enveloping the Holy Tree to resist the surging dark blood flood.

Xu Yi sighed. His first instinct was to rush into the protective circle of the Cat Spirit Holy Tree, but he couldn't.

The moment those blood-colored pupils fixed on him, he was rendered immobile.

He suddenly understood how those Evil Spirits nailed by Judgment felt—this sensation of being completely unable to move was truly terrible.

What allowed him to struggle in the dark blood flood was the power of the Fog of Obscurity, which formed a protective layer that kept the black blood at bay.

But the Fog of Obscurity was finite. Once it was exhausted, he would be engulfed by the blood water. Even if his body were a hundred times stronger, he couldn't resist so much black blood.

If he had the Hyper Accelerated Regeneration Entries, perhaps he could survive in these torrential black waters.

"In ancient times, Men Jiangnu's tears collapsed the Great Wall. I never imagined this Evil God Ratma could cry even more, enough to cause a flood!" Xu Yi snarked to himself.

The fact that he could still snark did not mean he had a solution. At this point, he had chosen resignation; under these circumstances, with his strength, there was simply no possibility of escape.

He was already contemplating things for the next cycle.

Perhaps he could try to interrupt the other's chanting?

He recalled the attempt and realized that it was no less difficult than killing the other person. When the other started chanting, that dreadful contamination would appear, and he could only struggle to endure.

Approaching in that awful state, he wasn't sure whether he'd be going to interrupt the spell casting or just delivering himself up for a swift defeat.

His ability to "dominate" the adversary relied on speed and agility. Once he lost those, going forward meant getting bitten once and immediately going down.

Maybe he could take advantage of the other's distraction and launch a sneak attack, striking directly at the Evil God statue within the adversary's body?

As he racked his brains, a familiar voice suddenly rang out beside his ear. In his moment of distraction, the Fog of Obscurity finally depleted, and the dark blood flood engulfed him.

In the end, only an Annabelle doll rose from the black water, drifting on its surface. The doll's body was corroded, emitting billowing black smoke.
