<(Bruce Wayne POV)>

"Bruce, you said you were an expert in exorcising demons, yet that one is still shooting at us like the quiet kid in a school shootout. Can you or can you not do something about it? Because if you can't, I think it's time to call in one of your favors from the All Caste. They sort of consider you as their secret leader since you are their main "backer and financial investor" and will be more than happy to assist you in exorcising it. Demonic and ghostly stuff like this is just up their niche after all. I think they even set up an office in Trenton which means they can be here in an hour at the longest if you give them a call." Nyssa had to almost shout to make her voice heard above the noise of the gunshots due to the demon was shooting at us.

"I am not asking for help, Nyssa. Batman doesn't ask for help to protect his own city especially if it is a measly demon who is trying to shoot me down with a couple of guns. And just for your knowledge, I didn't make any mistake in trying to exorcise it. All the rituals and words I used were accurate... Maybe that demon just doesn't understand any of the twenty languages I spoke... or maybe it is an atheist or something. But whatever the reason for his not being exorcised is, my skills have nothing to do with it. Oh, and I am definitely better at exorcising evil than any member of the All Caste. I respect Ducra and her daughter but even they are not as good as me, let alone the other new recruits of the organization." I defended myself with a snort as I watched my bat tool charge up to the max for the next shot in its gun mode.

Yes, I did fail at exorcising the demon even after boasting about my skills so much, but just like I previously said, it was not at all my fault. The demon did suffer for some time while I was reading the chants, but it didn't even show the tiniest bit of willingness to go back to Hell as it should have. However, reading so many exorcising spells wasn't for naught since I was able to figure out a lot of things from the entire ordeal like the fact that it was a demon named the Mawzir who was on some sort of mission from Hell and that he was an extremely special demon since he apparently could not be banished or killed through the normal demon killing methods. It seemed like there was supposed to be some sort of special method for eliminating the wretched creature, but I still had no idea what.

But I just shook my head sideways in response, "Wouldn't have worked. That demon being immune to all the exorcism rituals I cast can only mean one thing. It somehow tied his existence to something or someone in this world. That means as long as that particular something or someone exists, Mawzir can never be completely destroyed, and it will always find a way to return back to the Earthly realm. Think of it like Voldemort being anchored to life by his Horcrux." I explained knowing that the young assassin was a big fan of the Harry Potter books that were being published by the Wayne Publishing House. "As for what that anchor is, we can only know after detailed research into Mawzir's past. After that, we only need to figure out what type of anchor it is and how to use it to destroy the creature, something that I have a feeling this man named Tommy Monaghan can help us with." I elaborated before showing her the holographic images of a Hitman on my bracelet.
