ONE HOUR LATER

Yani looked around him when he woke up, he felt a little pathetic about being knocked out so quickly, but his body was young, and he couldn't use his strong powers to keep from hurting his current body.

"As I suspected," thought Yani when he realized that he was in a dark room with only a few candles lighting the room. Of course, his wrists were fastened with iron chains to a bed that looked a little poor, the room was basic, with a desk and a narrow window.

"I'm glad you woke up! I couldn't take my body back" said Giovanni feeling guilty because if he had taken his body back when he was being dragged, he could have fought and run.

"They didn't use a regular medicine to knock me out," said Yani, sighing. It was ironic to think of a person in the clergy using alchemical solutions to practice their evils when temples hunt alchemists.

The medicine they used on him was quite rare and directly affected the soul, putting the soul in a sleepy and paralyzing state, leaving the body limp and weak. Yani's soul was paralyzed in Giovanni's body, so Giovanni's soul couldn't change places with him.

Yani was still a little dizzy, but he tried to remember what he had seen before he passed out. He was with Bishop Darcy walking down one of the corridors when some priests appeared and started talking to Bishop Darcy.

ONE HOUR BEFORE

As Emery and Giovanni were disguised as priests, they had to stop to talk and exchange pleasantries with other priests. Suddenly, someone said that there was a demonic demonstration in the western area, that all the priests were being called to that area.

Emery and Yani looked at each other quickly, they were surprised by this. However, it made some sense since the deceased priest had cleared the way for demons inside the Matteo Abbey.

It would be naive for them to think that only Marquis Arabeth had come from hell, there was always the possibility that other demon's inferior to the status of Marquis also appeared and were ready in the human dimension.

Anyway, this was a good opportunity for Emery and Yani to separate from the group to continue pursuing the goal of going to the Novice Dormitory.

There were exorcist priests at Matteo Abbey, so the two men didn't worry that the demons could cause great damage. They followed the group through the west square and to the community canteen.

When they got there, they saw chairs overturned and dishes floating in the air, there was even a blue fire that burned in the same place without burning anything else. It was a rather scary sight, but also a little funny.

[Author: We are at Hogwarts! Weee!]

For Emery Darcy, who had been baptized with the terror and horror films of the modern world, Japanese productions, Hollywood productions, Korean productions, books of various horror genres, and even read many Chinese horror tales, this type of scenario in the abbey didn't it was very scary.

"If there was a lot of blood, maybe I would be scared ... Or a zombie ..." thought Emery in a moment of reflection, but soon he shook those thoughts away.

After all, what would he do if a zombie suddenly appeared in a fantasy world?

"Of course, this was very unlikely ... After all, apocalypse in a fantasy world ... These two genres never mix" thought Emery with thoughts wandering as the dishes were thrown on the floor by the demons, he seemed to see everything as floating clouds while letting your thoughts wander.

[Author: Do I tell him or do you tell him?]

"Bishop Darcy, we will meet in the square in three minutes," Yani told Emery speaking too close so that the others would not overhear, which was a little unnecessary since there were "ghostly" screams and cruel laughter in the room.

So, Emery got out of his silly thoughts about horror movies and went back to the reality of this bizarre fantasy world. He agreed, the square was only a few meters away, and they had just passed this place, so Emery wasn't going to get lost.

Yani left first since if the two left at the same time he could be suspicious. Emery took a while looking at the bizarre scene of rotating tables and floating chairs, the devil's malicious laughter for some reason reminded him of the children's laughter when they were excited about the games.

Children's laughter sometimes can cause strong comfort in adults, but at other times it was very irritating, and sometimes it felt like a cat's cry or just a baby's cry.

Of course, the demons appealed to the baby's crying feelings, which made the environment even darker.

The blue fire got bigger, scaring the priests around, some priests left the stunned state and started chanting to expel the demons, but the exorcist priests hadn't yet reached the environment.

The chants of ordinary priests can only contain the demons in that room, only the exorcist priests could really get rid of the demons by sending them back to the dimension of hell.

Emery looked at the priests who had their eyes closed, while some held something similar to the rosaries, other priests held some copy of the holy scriptures.

The priests repeated the same gesture with their right hand while holding the objects (a rosary of small pearls or a copy of the holy scriptures) with their left hand. The fingers of the right hand felt like seals and emitted a pure white aura despite being fragile.

Emery Darcy looked at it all with bright eyes, no one had realized that he was doing nothing because everyone had their eyes closed while chanting the sacred chants.

He felt curious and pulling from the memory of the original Bishop Darcy, he started doing the same thing that the priests were doing. In the space bag, he found a beautiful rosary made of pink pearls on a chain made of platinum christened with holy water from the temple of the capital of the Aurore Empire.

The symbol of the sun and moon were made of ruby and sapphire, the entire rosary emitted an aura of wealth and luxury. Emery took this rosary and began to chants along with the other priests.

Emery Darcy was curious to test his powers as exorcists and what it felt like to control the sacred energy. His heart was beating much faster than usual, and he felt a warmth in his chest. Soon, warm energy was circulating throughout his body. He mentally concentrated on his fingertips and soon began to pass that warm energy on to his right hand.

The original Emery Darcy could be a dandy who enjoyed orgies and the mundane pleasures of life, but no one could deny his inherent talent with sacred energy and his strong capacity for learning and retention.

Of course, the original Bishop Darcy had a bad sense of direction and was not good at remembering people's faces, but when it came to being an ambitious and diligent person, no one could be better than he.

Emery didn't know if it was muscle memory, but his fingers on his right hand could faithfully reproduce the seals that the other priests made, he probably did even better.

To contain the demons there was a set of ten seals that the priests had to learn, even if they weren't exorcists. This set of stamps required only a little sacred energy. After baptism in the temple of the rising sun, all the priests could awaken the sacred energy, of course, there were those who had more and those who had less.

Those who had more clearly become exorcists, holy knights, among other paths to be followed. Those who had even less could help others with some things, such as healing, how to seal the demons in one space, and paralyze the demons.

Emery was particularly excited about using his sacred powers for the first time, he would finally be acting as an exorcist character!

Or at least he thought so.
