America: The Cremator

Chapter 99 The Bible on the Wall

Su Long's mind raced as he began to ponder the reasons.

Hannah has no combat abilities. Although the purification ability of the Holy Blood is effective against the supernatural, its direct lethality is far less than that of Dania's chainsaw and Elena's silver sword.

Why is this ghost nun ignoring the most threatening combatants and relentlessly pursuing Hannah?

They even exhibited an almost instinctive fear?

Could it be that Hannah's holy blood is the key to triggering some kind of mechanism?

Surong didn't have time to think, but he knew he had to protect Hannah, so he shouted to the people behind him, "Protect Hannah! That guy's target is her!"

Upon hearing this, Lucas didn't hesitate at all. He rushed to Hannah's side, raised his shotgun, pointed it at the ghost nun in front of him, and was about to pull the trigger.

The next instant, the ghost nun's figure disappeared from Lucas's gun sight. He only felt a blur before his eyes, and the withered figure had already appeared in front of him. Her withered hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the barrel of the shotgun.

A black mist spread along the barrel of the gun, and with a hissing sound, the hard steel was instantly corroded and disintegrated into a pile of useless iron slag.

Lucas decisively released the broken gun, quickly pulled out the pair of pure silver knuckle dusters from his pocket, his right arm muscles bulged high, bringing a fierce gust of wind, and a heavy hook punch slammed into the ghost nun's left cheek.

The dull sound of bones cracking echoed in the water prison, and the ghost nun's face was twisted to the right by the blow.

The moment the pure silver material touched the eerie flesh, it emitted a violent sound, and large areas of pale fascia were corroded into charred pits, revealing the stark white bones that were wrapped around it.

Even after such a heavy blow, the ghost nun only swayed slightly before turning her head sharply and reaching out with lightning speed to firmly hold Lucas's head.

Within those empty eye sockets, two crimson lights spun rapidly, instantly transforming into deep vortexes.

Lucas's second punch, which he was about to throw, froze in mid-air.

The red light shot straight into his pupils, making him feel his consciousness rapidly blurring. His soul seemed to be forcibly pulled outward by some invisible force, and every movement of his body became incredibly slow, as if he were sinking into a quagmire.

"Block its eyes!" Lucas gritted his teeth and forced out the words.

Almost at the same instant Lucas issued his warning, Suron swiftly appeared behind the Ghost Nun, his hands suddenly covering her eyes, golden primordial fire erupting from his palms.

The intense heat instantly ignited the fascia on the ghost nun's face, and the black grease mixed with the pale flesh violently curled and carbonized in the flames.

The demon nun's gaping maw emitted an extremely piercing scream, and an invisible sonic shockwave erupted once more.

Lucas was the first to be hit, his body was violently thrown backward, and he crashed heavily into the wall behind him.

Suddenly, the ghost nun grabbed Su Long's wrist with her other hand and used her waist to deliver an extremely violent over-the-shoulder throw.

Su Long felt dizzy and disoriented. He was snatched away by a huge, strange force and slammed hard onto the bluestone floor. With a muffled thud, all the bones in his body almost broke, and he tasted blood in his throat.

At the same time, the furious roar of the chainsaw engine and the sharp sound of the blade cutting through the air rang out simultaneously, as Dania and Elena, one on the left and one on the right, charged in through the puddles.

Elena's longsword aimed straight for the lower body, forcing the demon nun to lower her head. Dania's chainsaw slashed down from above, the chainsaw and longsword forming a cross, creating a scissor-like structure, and viciously cut into the demon nun's neck.

"Snap!"

The sharp blade cut into flesh and blood, and a large amount of black mist gushed out from the ghost nun's neck like gushing arterial blood.

Without pausing, the two simultaneously increased their strength, the silver sword and chainsaw working together to directly sever the ghost nun's head.

"boom!"

The headless body of the ghost nun stood stiffly for a few seconds, then collapsed like a statue that had lost its support. Her entire form exploded into a thick black mist the moment she fell to the ground.

Su Long got up from the ground, ignoring the pain in his body, his eyes fixed on the rolling black mist, activating his spiritual vision.

In my field of vision, the familiar red diamond-shaped frame flashed by in the black fog.

A strange weakness warning box from the perspective of a supernatural vision!

"It's finally here!" A surge of joy welled up in Su Long's heart.

This weakness warning box appeared for the first time since he started fighting the ghost nun.

Prior to this, Su Long had believed that this strange being had no weaknesses, and even harbored some pessimistic thoughts that it was "unbeatable".

In retrospect, it was not so powerful as to be without weaknesses; it simply hid its weaknesses too well.

Sulong immediately raised the "Sirius" in his hand, ready to aim and fire, but the red diamond-shaped frame disappeared in an instant, and the thick black mist quickly dispersed and vanished.

After a moment's thought, Su Long did not pursue, but instead took a few steps back and stood in front of Hannah.

This creature possesses an extremely strong regenerative ability, and now, in its own eerie territory, a mere decapitation wound will likely not cause it to dissipate immediately.

This dissipation into mist is more likely a tactic used by the creature to relocate or launch a surprise attack.

Given that this strange target has been Hannah from beginning to end, it is very likely that it will regroup around Hannah and attack her directly.

The next moment, the ghost nun's figure indeed materialized beside Hannah, her withered claws carrying a gust of evil wind as they reached out to grab her diagonally.

"Sizzle!"

Suron sidestepped Hannah, tearing three huge rips in her armor to reveal the gleaming silver chainmail underneath.

The demon nun's claws slammed into the chainmail, producing a grating scraping sound.

The sturdy silver-tungsten alloy chainmail blocked the fatal blow, leaving four pitch-black claw marks on the armor. The first layer of silver-tungsten alloy rings was almost completely broken, emitting wisps of black smoke.

The ghost nun's hands moved upwards and gripped Su Long's head tightly, forcibly turning it upright, and her scarlet eye sockets lit up with vortexes once more.

Su Long felt his soul begin to tremble, as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand and dragged outwards.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes widened in fury, and a furious roar escaped his throat.

[King's Intimidation] Full Power Activated!

A tangible mental shockwave followed the gazes of the two as they locked eyes and slammed into the ghost nun's eye sockets.

The red vortex suddenly stopped, and two completely different spiritual forces collided violently in the void, even producing a faint popping sound in the air.

The ghost nun's soul-extraction process was forcibly interrupted, and a muffled cry of pain escaped from her stitched mouth.

A pale blue system panel suddenly unfolded before Su Long's eyes.

[Intelligence Insight effect triggered!]

[New information obtained: 1. The Bible in the center of the bookshelf on the wall has a restraining effect on eerie phenomena. 2. Holy blood can dispel the contamination on the Bible.]

Su Long's heart skipped a beat. Weakness! So that's it!

What it fears is the holy mark and holy blood in Hannah's palm!

The next moment, the ghost nun suddenly exerted force with both hands, her ten fingers tightening, attempting to crush Su Long's head directly.

At the same time, her enormous mouth, filled with fangs, opened again, the surrounding air began to distort, and a deadly sonic wave was about to erupt.

Buzz—

A high-speed spinning chainsaw pierced through the back of the ghost nun's head, penetrating her skull. Bloodstained alloy chainsaw teeth protruded from her open mouth, spinning wildly.

Dania's arm muscles tensed, and she gripped the chainsaw handle and jerked it upwards.

The demon nun's head was forcibly sawed in half, and the hands that were gripping Surong's head instantly lost their strength.

Sulong suddenly broke free of his restraints, took a half step back, and roared at Hannah behind him.

"Hannah! The Bible right in the center of the bookshelf on the wall! Take it and purify it with holy blood!"

Hannah paused for half a second, then immediately turned and ran towards the bookshelf.

The ghost nun's head, which had been sawed in two, quickly healed amidst the churning black mist.

She turned around, her bloodshot eyes fixed on Hannah's back, her tall figure transforming into a black shadow as she chased after her.

boom! boom! boom!

Surong raised "Sirius," aiming at the back of the ghost nun's head, and roared at Lucas, Elena, and Dania, who had just recovered their senses.

"Everyone, hold her off! Create an opportunity for Hannah!"
