The air was thick with the pungent smell of blood.
The earlier sacrificial ritual had made the bloody mist enveloping the community even denser.
A surging wave of evil energy rushed forward, nearly drowning every inch of air.
Only the spot where Su Fan stood remained a patch of pure land.
He looked at Paimon across from him, his eyelids slightly drooping, divine light flickering within.
Black mist emerged from the magic array. Ferocious-looking, pitch-black creatures materialized out of thin air on both sides, raising the horns and instruments in their hands.
The previously kneeling corpses cradled their own severed heads.
These beings, already devoid of life, surprisingly began to sing in unison!
A grand and loud hymn of praise was performed right before Su Fan.
The words they uttered were obscure and difficult to understand, completely unintelligible to humans.
Just then, Paimon, who had been silently confronting Su Fan from a distance, spoke.
“%¥#…”
The energy contained within that voice, after spreading and dispersing through the medium of air, actually blasted away the ground in front of it!
The hard and solid asphalt road surface instantly shattered, countless fragments scattering to both sides, rolling up billowing dust!
It was as if an angry dragon was winding its way just beneath the surface, carrying an irresistible, majestic heavenly might!
In the blink of an eye, it had already reached Su Fan!
At that moment, his figure seemed like a small boat adrift beneath a raging tsunami, in constant danger of capsizing!
Yet Su Fan’s gaze remained calm.
[A test?]
A sword beam shot out from the long sword in his hand, and then he swung it down fiercely!
Clang!
The sound of a sword’s ring echoed. In an instant, the terrifying sound wave before him was severed with a single strike!
The sound wave, split in two, changed direction, rushing towards both sides. It leveled all obstacles in its path, booming incessantly. Debris from buildings flew into the air, spreading for nearly a hundred meters! —
After breaking into the community shrouded in bloody mist, the numerous police officers followed the Winchester brothers as they advanced.
Along the way, they saw many inexplicable sights.
The most numerous were the corpses, each meeting their end in different ways.
Neatly sliced vehicles, and behind them, bodies cut in two, or people holding guns but missing their heads, or with empty chest cavities…
They looked like they had died not long ago, yet not a single drop of blood had been spilled!
But the most bizarre thing of all was that these corpses were all kneeling in unison, facing the northwest direction…
Seeing this, many officers instinctively averted their gaze and touched the protective charms on their chests.
Working this job inevitably involves dealing with all kinds of corpses, but a scene this evil and eerie was truly a first for them.
The killer certainly wouldn’t have specially posed the bodies like this after defeating their enemies.
But the surroundings didn’t show any signs of recent human activity either.
Could it be that after these people died, they all got up together and arranged themselves in this posture?
Just thinking about this possibility made many people shiver.
The lead detective immediately approached the Winchester brothers guiding them.
“What do these sights represent?”
“They mean we need to speed up!”
Dean, Sam, and Ron, who were in the know, all had very grim expressions.
Who else but demons could be capable of creating the scene before their eyes?
Just then, the clear sound of metal clashing suddenly echoed from ahead!
Almost immediately afterward, the sound of thunder, with virtually no gap in between, rang out nine times, shaking everyone’s hearts!
It’s him!
Has the battle already started?!
Ron’s heart jumped, but before she could use her elemental powers to investigate the situation, she saw a huge, bloody rune rise from the ground and ascend into the sky!
A symphony with dense drumbeats came from the northwest, accompanied by low-frequency, obscure chanting. Even without understanding the words, one could grasp the emotions of the singers!
They were praising an unparalleled calamity, the King of Hell descending upon this land!
“How awful it sounds!” Karl frowned, feeling a wave of irritation.
He looked at the officers beside him, who had started gasping for air!
Their eyes were bloodshot, heads bowed, as if they were about to lose control.
It wasn’t just the officers near Karl; many in the task force were experiencing the same symptoms!
Seeing this, the detective and Karl immediately realized something was wrong.
Could it affect people’s minds, even with protective charms present?!
Dean and Sam reacted quickly, immediately grabbing their containers of holy water and splashing it on the officers showing signs of distress!
The holy water landed on the officers as if poured directly onto a red-hot branding iron, immediately steaming into white mist!
Their response was certainly timely, but no one expected something even bigger to follow!
“%¥#…”
The deafening, meaningless syllables roared!
It felt to Dean as if a massive club speaker were blasting at full volume right next to his ear!
The terrifying volume plunged everyone into a daze!
The only one still conscious was Ron!
But before she could snap the others out of it, a tremendous tremor from the ground jolted them awake!
“Boom!!”
On either side of their field of vision, buildings were flattened by some unknown force, as if a savage beast had plowed through the land on both sides, raising dust clouds like a sandstorm!
This shocking scene was clearly visible even from a great distance!
Both Detective Karl and his companion, who had worked with Su Fan before, and the other officers with little exposure to supernatural beings, stared blankly at what was happening before them.
“My God…”
At this moment, even Dean, who didn’t believe in God, stood petrified, muttering under his breath.
Ron was also visibly stunned.
“Paimon has successfully incarnated…”
Sam’s face was bitter.
“Records state that when Paimon descends, a demonic orchestra plays celebratory music for that moment…
His voice is louder than thunder, and if he doesn’t control it, it’s impossible to hear what he’s saying clearly.”
“Then, is it any use for us to go there now?”
The detective swallowed and asked.
“I’m not sure…”
Sam himself wasn’t even certain if it would be useful for him and his brother Dean to go now.
He had originally thought demons were only as powerful as Meg, the one they’d encountered before, but Paimon’s strength completely exceeded his expectations.
That earlier event was probably just Paimon attacking with sound, yet even that alone had caused such terrifying destruction.
It was hard to imagine how horrifying the scene would be if Paimon really exerted himself.
But just then, Dean and Sam felt an intense, chilling dread.
From the shadows not far away, a black beast, as tall as two stories, approached them on powerful claws.
The beast had three heads, six eyes glowing red, fixed intently on the group before it, with drool dripping from its mouths.
“Cerberus…”
The detective uttered the name of the monster before them, his voice a groan.
The legendary three-headed hellhound guarding the gates of the underworld…
Had actually appeared before them in the flesh!
While they were stunned, the hellhound opposite them had already sprung into action, charging towards them!
In this critical moment, the Winchester brothers were the first to react.
Shotguns in Dean and Sam’s hands spat fire as they fired simultaneously! Both shots hit the hellhound square in the forehead!
