American Exorcism Male God

"This monster contains divinity within its body!" echoed the soul voice of Xu Changrong in Xu Yi's mind.

Xu Yi was startled as he never expected that such weak creatures as "scorpion-flies" could possess divinity.

In his subconscious, only those particularly powerful beings were thought to possess divinity.

"Perhaps it's due to the spirit of the True God."

Xu Yi grew more certain that beneath Lighthouse Mountain lay the spirit of a True God.

The divinity in the scorpion-flies was extremely faint, so much so that if it weren't for the Bone of Nightmares' exceptional sensitivity to Divinity, it would've been impossible to detect.

Xu Yi looked towards the "dark clouds" swarming on the horizon, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

This was not an unwarranted disaster, but rather a great gift sent by the Ring of Destruction!

The faint divinity in the monsters would be difficult for others to extract, but for the Bone of Nightmares, it was not a problem at all.

The amount of divinity that could be extracted from a single creature was quite limited, but there was strength in numbers, and the "dark clouds" before his eyes likely numbered in the tens of thousands.

And this was just the vanguard—the number of monsters that would follow was likely to be even greater.

Xu Yi, observing the "golden mini-suns" continuously rising in the city, suddenly found them displeasing; were they destroying monsters, or were they destroying his divinity!

The "suns" disappeared suddenly, as the output of the Doomsday Arc was still very limited due to time and material constraints.

The "dark cloud" rolled in from above, plunging Notting Hill into darkness; enveloped by the fog, it was as if night had fallen.

"Shall we leave now?" Xu Changrong asked through a mental link.

"Leave? Notting Hill is our home, and we must stand or fall with Notting Hill!" Xu Yi replied decisively.

Xu Yi and his two companions charged through the horde of monsters, with numerous beasts falling along the way.

He and Ailan even thoughtfully tossed the monsters' limbs to the Ghost Samurai to facilitate the absorption of divinity by the Bone of Nightmares.

The platinum Holy Flame swept across, Xu Yi's most common group attack skill, but after using it once, he stopped.

The Holy Flame, powered by burning blood, was too potent. It completely "burnt" away the bodies of the scorpion-flies, and naturally, the divinity within dissipated as well.

For the first time, Xu Yi felt that having too much power could actually be a disadvantage.

After a moment of contemplation, he finally remembered a skill he had kept in reserve. He slashed his palm open, and his blood surged out, coalescing into crimson threads in the air.

A faint platinum aura spread along the threads. The Soul-binding Lines from the Soul Jade's entries, enhanced by the God-melting Blood, became exceptionally sharp.

The Soul-binding Lines sliced through the monsters' bodies. Limbs and severed arms fell like rain, and blood spattered everywhere.

However, the monsters were too numerous, and the three of them couldn't possibly slay them all.

Xu Yi, seeing that the Ring of Destruction didn't seem eager to turn back for another attack, called Harada Mieko from the Eight Monster House to join the battle, but it was still like trying to extinguish a fire with a cup of water.

But the worst was not this; the storage limit for divinity within the Bone of Nightmares was nearly reached.

The effect of accumulation was terrifying!

Ever since the Bone of Nightmares was born, the divinity within had been in a state of deficit; when had it ever fought such a wealthy battle?

Without a doubt, all thanks were due to the "good brothers" of the Ring of Destruction!

The Bone of Nightmares had absorbed a vast amount of divinity, which should have been good news, so why did Xu Yi feel that it was so troubling?

Because after the monsters died, within about ten minutes, the divinity in their bodies would evaporate.

This was discovered by Xu Changrong.

So now they faced an extremely awkward situation; if they continued killing the monsters, the divinity would be wasted without a vessel to contain it.

Not just any object could store divinity.

But if they stopped killing the monsters, once the Ring of Destruction made its move against the Subgod, this loyal monster army would surely come to the aid, and then, dealing with them would become extremely troublesome.

Surely they couldn't possibly be hunting these monsters while fending off the Subgod and the Ring of Destruction, could they?

When exactly the Ring of Destruction would make its move was unclear to Xu Yi. It might be in an hour or two, perhaps tomorrow, or maybe in a few days.

With so little information, he couldn't possibly estimate.

So his current mood was very anxious, for there might be just this one chance to easily obtain a vast amount of Divinity, and once this opportunity passed, there would be no such shop after this village.

"We need to find a way to use the Divinity as soon as possible!"

Xu Yi thought it over and decided this was the best method so far.

Forging the Alchemical Weapon "Seven Deadly Sins" was immediately put on the agenda.

He wasn't fully prepared, but he had no choice but to rush it—fortunately, he had everything needed for the forging of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Leaving the Ghost Samurai to continue hunting monsters, Xu Yi hurried back to the Eight Monster House.

In the forge chamber of the Eight Monster House, Xu Yi touched the cold forge station and opened the system panel at the same time.

[Ando's Forging Art, current progress: 42/100]

He was about to embark on the forging of the "Seven Deadly Sins," yet the forging art was not fully mastered, but Xu Yi wasn't worried about this in the slightest.

He had been too busy recently to afford any time to grind the forging art.

But even under such circumstances, the entries' progress was about to go over half.

The reason was simple: cheating.

For such "knowledge category" entries, under the push of a surge of inspiration and mystical revelations, the progress skyrocketed like riding a rocket.

The only certainty was that it cost a bit of Resurrection Coin.

But now he couldn't worry about that anymore.

Nightfall came quietly, yet the restlessness of Boston didn't cease, with screams and beasts' roars continuing incessantly.

In the dead of night, Xu Yi finally maxed out "Ando's Forging Art," at the cost of two Resurrection Coins, leaving only 48 Resurrection Coins on him.

This was the third Resurrection opportunity he had used that day, thankfully, midnight was about to arrive, and the Resurrection count would soon reset.

Xu Yi wanted to start forging the Alchemical Weapon "Seven Deadly Sins," but now there was a problem.

Forging the "Seven Deadly Sins" required both him and the Ghost Samurai to be present, but without them, relying solely on Ailan and the others was hard enough for self-protection, let alone monster hunting.

"Teacher! We've come to help you!"

Carrie's voice suddenly came from outside the Eight Monster House, which to Xu Yi, sounded like a heavenly melody.

Because Carrie wasn't alone in her return—Yukeni was with her, along with the students they recruited at the Isotope Institute.

Xu Yi left the Eight Monster House and saw a crowd of unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar faces in front of the villa, feeling incredibly relieved.

When he helped Yukeni with "student recruitment," he didn't contemplate this scenario at all.

In this moment of emergency, these people were nothing short of life-savers.

"Help hunt the monsters outside and bring them to the front of this villa, each one will count as one academic credit," Xu Yi surveyed the crowd and declared loudly, "Accumulate a thousand credits for a second-stage Dragon Blood Elixir! Accumulate ten thousand points for a third-stage Dragon Blood Elixir!"

To motivate everyone, he didn't go for something abstract; he offered tangible rewards.

"Long live the teacher!"

The atmosphere on-site instantly exploded; they had come to help, originally just hoping to earn some Favorability in front of Xu Yi, but they didn't expect such an unexpected surprise.

It was as if they could already envision acquiring the third-stage Dragon Blood Elixir, becoming a Great Exorcist, and returning home in glory.

"Thank you!" Xu Yi walked over to Yukeni and expressed his gratitude sincerely, "I owe you one, and I can grant you one request, as long as it doesn't violate my ethical code."

Yukeni was momentarily taken aback but didn't say anything, only humming in response.

Tsundere, no matter the situation, was always tsundere.

With the addition of Yukeni and Isotope's students, Xu Yi and the Ghost Samurai were finally free to attend to other tasks.

Xu Yi washed his face, took a deep breath, and adjusted himself to the best condition.

The forging of "Seven Deadly Sins" began!
