There is a corpse nailed to the wall and It was upside down.
"Was he the client that lived here? But why?
The corpse has been cut viciously. Something that looks like a giblet is coming out from the wounds...
Gough!
Ethan couldn't hold it in anymore and vomited out the food contents inside his stomach on the spot.
He didn't vomit when I saw the shadows, the knight or the spider monster. But His body reacted to seeing this corpse.
He couldn't endure looking at the corpse any more.
The corpse is attached to the wall with screws, making the shape of a cross upside down. There are big and thick screws screwed into the palm of each hand, into the feet, and at the middle of its torso.
What kind of sick bastard would kill someone like this?
There was a puddle of blood on the floor from the drips of blood falling from the corpse. and there's this writing on the wall. It's written in some kind of foreign language.
"It's written as "Punishment for those who did bad deeds!" Suddenly, the voice of a young man came from behind him.
When Ethan turn around and saw a man with shoulder-length blonde hair sitting on the sofa. He was around his early 20s and wearing a black priest attire. Seeing Ethan, a devious grin appeared on his face.
"Hmm Hmm, what do we have here? A devil no doubt." The priest seemed to be happy.
I'm a priest~♪ The great Light ~♪ I cut down devil-like people~, and I laugh at their corpse~♪ I cut the head of scum with my sword~♪" The priest started singing
Who the hell is this crazy bastard?
"Forgive my rudeness, I believe an introduction is needed." The priest said before making a bow.
"My name is Lucius Magnus, a dedicated member of Silver Cross. Ah, just because I introduced myself doesn't mean you have to. Please don't, I don't want to remember the name of a devil scum."
Then, the thing that Leo told Ethan suddenly came to mind.
–Stay away from members of the Silver Cross.
And He could see why. Heck, If all their members are like this bastard, then he don't want to go anywhere near them.
But there's something he want to say to him. He swallowed down my spit and ask him.
"Hey, was it you who killed this person?" Ethan asked
"Yes, It was me. Because this dunce over there just happened to make a contract with a vampire, So I had to kill him." Lucius said as he pointed to the corpse on the wall.
"....!" What kind of an excuse is that!?
"Oh, You look shocked. I mean humans who make a pact with Devils or Vampires are nothing but scum. Scum indeed. Can't you understand that? No? Is that so? Well you are a scum Devil after all."
"Killing ordinary humans? I thought you guys only kill supernatural beings." Ethan said as he looked at the priest with disdain.
"The fuck? A demon like you is lecturing me? Hahaha!" The Priest started laughing and continued "This is very funny. If the others heard of this, I will become a laughing stock."
"Okay then, listen carefully you Devil scum. The creature of night like the devils or vampires use humans' greed to survive. Relying on this creatures proves that you are no longer a human. It's the end. That's why I killed him~. It's simple, no? Killing Devils, Vampires and those that are contracted to them. That's the Job of the Silver Cross."
"Crazy Bastard." Ethan yelled
"Haha, I knew it was useless to tell this to a Devil like you. More like, I have to kill you! Isn't that great? It's the best, isn't it?"
After saying so, the priest grabbed the crucifix that was around his neck and yells out, "I am the man chosen by God to be His messenger!" Suddenly, the priest's crucifix changes its appearance and, slowly, a western sword forms in his hand. This sword had a normal appearance, but the blade was strange, the edge of the blade seemed to be covered by some kind of golden light.
But the bastard didn't stop there
"God, bless this servant with a body immune to fatigue that allow thou to fight countless battles!" The priest's body body began to glow, and the golden light from the sword that was located on its blade began to glow brighter.
SWIFT!
The priest suddenly disappears into golden light.
"Huh?" Ethan looked to his side and saw that the priest was approaching, 'Is he aiming for my head...?' From Ethan's perspective, the priest was very slow, but he also felt that the golden energy coming out of the priest's sword was dangerous.
"Haha!! Now give me your head!! Devil" Suddenly priest's speed increased explosively and he swung his sword towards Ethan.
Ethan calmly jumped and dodged the priest's horizontal sweep, but suddenly he felt like his face had been scratched? "Ugh" What is this pain? It is like I've being burned from the inside?
He touched his cheek and thought, "I'm sure I dodged that attack, I'm not foolish enough to let that energy touch me so how did he hit me?"
"Tsk, I missed." The priest became annoyed and managed to stop in time to avoid being smashed against the wall, he stopped in front of the wall and started breathing heavily. He had expected a quick victory so he had used almost all of his energy in that attack, this was an attack that could cause permanent damage to any ordinary vampire or demon alike.
"Can he control that energy any way he wants? I will be a goner if that energy touches me so I have to finish this battle fast." Ethan thought with a neutral face as the cut on his cheek began to heal.
"Uh? What the hell? The holy energy was healed so easily!?" The priest was internally surprised by this.
Ethan decided this was his chance to attack and immediately dashed as once. But his eyes widened in horror as the priest did something unexpected and extremely pettiful. The priest swiftly brought out a gun and shot a bullet of light.
"This Son of a bitch!!!" Ethan could only curse as he tried his best to avoid the bullet. But his efforts was unfruitful as the bullet of light pierced through his right shoulder.
"Argghh! Fuck!!!" He forcefully moved his body and hid Infront of the sofa despite the unbearable pain running his body.
"Hmm hmm, How is does it feel to be hit with a bullet imbued with the power of light! Kidding! Of course it hurts. It's extremely lethal to demons and vampires. No matter how strong or immortal you are, once exorcised with power of light, you demonic scum will be completely vanished from existence." The priest explained with a wide grin on his face.
Bang! Bang!
"Die, die, Devil! Die Devil! Turn to dust and disappear!" The priest laughed madly and he continued to shoot as he slowly approached the couch.
It was obvious the bastard was getting cocky since the situation was favourable to him.
"Damnit, I let my guard down." Ethan cursed. He didn't expect the priest to pull a petty move like pulling a gun and he completely overlooked something.
There are six classes in total which are assigned to hunters based on their talent, but that doesn't mean they can only use the power of their particular class. For example, a Fighter would be able to use Magic but won't be as proficient in it as the mages. The same can be said for the others.
"I'm so stupid."
"What do I do now?" Ethan thought and he suddenly had a bright idea as he realized something.
"That's one vulgar mouth you got there. It's hard to believe you're a priest. So you are a rogue, aren't you?" Ethan said after coming to a conclusion.
"Haha, You figured it out, huh? Sorry for being vulgar! That's because I was kicked out! Screw the Vatican! I'm all right as long as I get to kill anyone whenever I feel like it!
"Bitch! Didn't your mother ever teach you killing is wrong?" Ethan bluntly stated.
"Hey! I don't think a pest like you is in a position to talk down to me!" A priest immediately puts on a stern look.
But the sofa was suddenly thrown towards him. By the time the priest smacks away the sofa with his sword, Ethan had already appeared besides the priest.
"You-" The priest was going to say something, but Victor punched him in the face.
Crack!
A lovely crack was heard as the priest was sent flying and slammed into the wall with a loud bang.
"Argghh."
The priest groaned in a pain as blood was gushing out of his broken nose and slowly stood up.
"Damnit, looks like I have to retreat." The priest mumbled but Ethan was still able to hear his words clearly.
"Yeah, like I will let you." The bastard tried to kill him and shot him. How could Ethan let him escape? Plus the bastard was a psychopath.
But before he could do anything, the priest suddenly threw an object in the air and in the next instant, a sudden flash of light illuminated the room.
As the light cleared, the priest was already long gone and Ethan put on a frown.
"He got away."
