"Devout followers of the great Trigon, tear apart the enemies before you, and create a feast of blood as an offering for our god's descent!"
Blood Brother revealed a bloodthirsty mad laugh, announcing to the followers behind him.
The followers immediately followed orders and rushed at Yuri and the others.
Suddenly, a voice came from above Blood Brother's head.
"Before that, I'll squash you flat!"
At some unknown time, the Beast Boy had turned into a mosquito and flown above Blood Brother, then instantly transformed into an elephant and sat down.
"It seems you still haven't seen the full situation clearly."
A flash of murderous intent passed through Blood Brother's eyes. He had just absorbed some power from Superboy's blood, and had long wanted to take good advantage of it.
Blood Brother flash out his hand like lightning to grasp the elephant's tail that was Beast Boy, and with force yank it downward.
Beast Boy suddenly felt an immense force acting upon his body, forcing him to crash uncontrollably toward the ground.
Bang!
In an instant, Beast Boy's body slammed into the ground, and the powerful impact instantly shook the cave, trembling violently, with countless rocks beginning to crumble in a rock rain.
Beast Boy was dazed by this, his vision filled with stars, and his body lifted into the air again, only to be smashed into the other side.
A ten-ton elephant in Blood Brother's hands was like a toy, being tossed left and right crazy.
Just as Beast Boy transformed into an elephant to squash his enemy, at that same time hundreds of fanatic followers of the Church of Blood also rushed at the remaining Titans.
"Slay these heretics! Only those who believe in our God shall remain in this world!"
Some among the followers knew a little magic, and blood-colored magic missiles wildly shot out.
Othersbearing absolute faith in Trigon, had been transformed into undying demon soldiers.
Hundreds of low-level black magic users plus dozens of undying demon soldiers suddenly put the Titans in a fierce battle.
Before Raven joined in, undying demons had been a big headache for the Titans, but now they were much easier to deal with - Superboy, Wonder Girl, and Starfire would injure the demons, allowing Raven to easily banish them to hell.
Robin used his utility belt without restraint, throwing out all sorts of devices - smoke bombs, tear gas, hypnotic bombs, like a phantom flitting among the crowd.
Often appearing behind enemies, with one strike they would be unconscious.
The limited space prevented Impulse from freely running amok, so he could only enter combat mode, using twin-hand tornadoes to blow away over ten enemies per second.
As for Yuri, he was completing an important task.
On the other side, Blood Brother continued to play with Beast Boy, seeming to know Beast Boy's abilities were closely related to his concentration, always preventing Beast Boy from having a chance to focus.
"You...you bastard! I'll definitely beat you to a pulp!" Beast Boy said with difficulty.
Suddenly, Blood Brother's movements abruptly froze, releasing the tail he was holding, and Beast Boy immediately took the opportunity to escape.
Then Blood Brother shouted to the followers:
"Followers of the great Trigon! My god just conveyed an oracle to me - the Teen Titans are not our enemies. All retreat, do not attack them!"
Hearing this, all the followers of the Church of Blood were stunned on the spot.
Blood Brother's prestige was long-established - no one dared disobey his command.
However, the Teen Titans had no such concerns, taking down dozens more enemies with one attack.
"Who told you to stop! Tear them apart for me!"
The next second, Blood Brother shouted again, rebuking the followers.
This back and forth, with two completely opposite attitudes and commands, confused all the followers of the Church of Blood.
What was wrong with Blood Brother?
Just then, Blood Brother's face distorted strangely, his entire body dancing and waving, incessantly shouting unintelligible curses.
"What...what are you...how dare you defile...my soul!"
Blood Brother hugged his head with both hands, dripping with sweat, entering a state of self-questioning and self-answering.
"I am the darkness within your heart, I am the vengeance within your heart..."
"Don't joke around, get out of me!"
Just then Blood Brother knelt on the ground, hugging his head as his clasped fists pounded the earth, screaming skyward.
Crimson evil power gushed out, almost forcing the foreign soul out of his body.
"Dammit, I guessed dealing with souls would be difficult for anyone involved with the Church of Blood." Yuri cursed inwardly. It was just that he, already transformed into a Ghostfreak, had rescued Beast Boy.
Unlike Jericho, Blood Brother was not a soul medium - the power bestowed upon him by Trigon was also completely unrelated to souls.
Therefore, it was entirely possible for Ghostfreak to take control of Blood Brother, at least that was what Yuri thought just now.
If he controlled Blood Brother, it would be much easier to deal with the rest of those followers.
But that wasn't the most important reason. First, it could now be confirmed that not all the followers of the Church of Blood knows the ritual to summon Trigon using Raven as a gate.
Whether the half-baked black magic users or the reckless artificial demons, none could complete the ritual - only Blood Brother had the ability and qualifications.
Therefore, as long as Blood Brother was dealt with, the remaining followers would pose no threat.
However, while Blood Brother lacked proficiency in soul abilities, he was still adept at soul magic. His soul resistance burst out with strong power, and the Ghostfreak risked being expelled from Blood Brother's body with the slightest carelessness.
It would not be possible to thoroughly seize Blood Brother's body in a short time.
"It seems I need some outside assistance." Yuri continued to apply pressure to Blood Brother while thinking to himself that he alone would probably not be able to take this guy down.
"Superboy! Forget those goons for now, come hit me!"
Ghostfreak instantly exerted force to suppress Blood Brother's soul, controlling his body to shout loudly.
Upon hearing the shout, Superboy immediately understood and rushed furiously at Blood Brother with tremendous speed that none of the followers could stop.
He slammed headlong into Blood Brother, hugging his waist tightly, and then crazily charged the rocky walls ahead.
Seeing this, Yuri immediately let go of his suppression, not wanting to replace Blood Brother in enjoying the pleasure of collision with the wall.
"It's you again, this dirty artificial husk! You soulless puppet is not worthy of possessing a soul! Take your vile hands off me!" Blood Brother roared angrily, continuing to punch Superboy's back with his fists.
However, the power of blood magic plundering was ultimately only a small part of the power contained in the blood, far inferior to the powerful original. Of course, Blood Brother was unable to move Superboy.
Superboy's gaze was resolute, his entire body unwavering, even increasing his flight speed as he plunged headlong into the thick rocky walls, and with that the two disappeared.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of breaking through rock layer after layer was continuous, while the cave shook and trembled like an earthquake within.
