Romania.
Luke and Wong arrived at the outskirts of a dilapidated monastery.
Even before entering, Luke could already sense the sinister demonic aura emanating from within.
"So this is the last place Mordo and Kaecilius were in contact?"
Luke looked at the monastery with a strange expression.
"Yes, Luke."
Wong nodded, his face tense. "Three days ago, Mordo and Kaecilius, along with four official mages, ca to Romania to deal with a magical anomaly."
"But two days ago, we suddenly lost contact with them, and every tracking thod failed to locate them."
"We originally intended to consult the Sorcerer Supre, but the Ancient One has already astral projected into other dinsions and cannot be contacted for the ti being."
Luke had originally wanted to ask what the Ancient One was doing, but at that mont, several voices ca from the distance.
Soon, a group of two n and one woman arrived outside the monastery.
"Who are you?"
The middle-aged man leading the group wore a black suit and a black fedora, glaring at Luke and Wong with vigilance.
Luke glanced at him before turning his attention to the only woman in the group.
She wore a blue coat and a red beret, radiating youthful vitality.
Monastery, priest, nun...
There was no mistake. This was The Nun from The Conjuring.
No wonder Mordo and Kaecilius, both veteran mages, had fallen here. Charging headfirst into the Nun's territory was practically suicide.
The Nun was an evil spirit, but more importantly, it was an evil spirit with powerful backing.
Among horror movie villains, the Nun ranked among the strongest.
The true form hidden behind the Nun was the demon Valak, one of Solomon's 72 demons and a Great Demon with a true na.
Perhaps he could not compare to phisto, but he was still a top-tier Devil.
Mordo and Kaecilius failing against him was completely normal. Their strength simply was not enough.
In the original story, Valak had not fully broken the seal. Part of its power disguised itself as a nun and slaughtered the nuns guarding the monastery.
Because of the remaining seal, it needed to possess a nun in order to leave the monastery grounds.
Originally, the target it selected was another nun, but she committed suicide at the last mont.
Only after the Church discovered the anomaly did they dispatch Father Burke and the novice nun Irene to investigate.
Although Irene was only a novice nun, she was born with psychic abilities and possessed extraordinary talent.
The mont Valak saw her, it imdiately targeted her.
In the end, however, righteousness prevailed. Irene used the blood of Jesus to reseal Valak back into Hell.
Still, at the very last mont, a fragnt of Valak's power managed to possess Maurice, the last surviving man of the trio.
Wong glanced at Luke before speaking solemnly. "I am Wong, a mage of Kamar-Taj. If you have no business here, I advise you to leave imdiately. This is not a tourist attraction."
Father Burke's expression turned subtle as he replied just as seriously, "I am Father Burke of the Vatican, and this is Sister Irene, a novice nun. We are here to investigate the suicide of a nun, which may involve unclean entities. If you do not wish to beco entangled with evil spirits, then you should leave at once."
Wong froze for a mont.
Oh? They had run into peers.
Wong carefully scrutinized Father Burke, then glanced at Sister Irene, who was secretly looking at Luke, and Maurice, who was secretly looking at Irene.
From their gazes, he confird that they were ordinary people without any magical power.
Wong frowned deeply. "Six highly skilled master mages have already gone missing inside the monastery. The evil spirit within is extrely powerful. Since you are ordinary people, you should not involve yourselves in this. Leave it to professionals."
Professionals?
Father Burke was so angry he almost laughed. As a priest, soone was actually calling him unprofessional.
He had exorcised countless evil spirits in his lifeti and was one of the Vatican's most renowned exorcist priests.
Before hearing those words, Father Burke might have considered requesting reinforcents from the Church.
But now, whether for his own pride or for the dignity of the Church, he had to prove who the real professional was.
Father Burke's expression turned solemn. "Precisely because there is an evil spirit inside, I have even more reason to go in and deal with it."
"As a priest, my thods of exorcism are professional, and I certainly will not disappear like your master mages."
Wong raised an eyebrow, about to respond, when Luke lifted a hand.
"Forget it. If they want to go, let them. You can never stop people determined to court death."
"Yes, Luke."
The mont he heard this, Wong imdiately fell silent and obediently stood behind Luke like a follower.
The sight greatly surprised Father Burke and Sister Irene.
Wong was clearly not an easy person to deal with, yet he showed such respect toward this overly young man.
Moreover, judging from his appearance, Luke did not even look like a mage.
Maurice noticed Irene repeatedly sneaking glances at Luke, and wanting desperately to draw her attention, he quickly stepped forward and spoke about what had happened three days earlier.
"Uh... if you want to know about the monastery and those mages, I know a little."
Wong, Father Burke, and even Irene all turned toward him at the sa ti.
Delighted, Maurice continued, "I'm responsible for delivering supplies to the monastery. Three days ago, when I ca with the usual shipnt, I saw a poor nun hanging dead right outside the main gate."
"Although I was shocked, being a righteous man, my first thought was to prepare the nun's body for burial, so I placed her in the ice cellar over there."
"When I ca back out to call the police, the six master mages this mage ntioned were already standing at the entrance. The one leading them was a Black man, the most charismatic Black man I've ever seen, and he was dressed exactly like you."
"After learning so details from , they entered the monastery to investigate."
"And after that... I never saw them again."
"Those were Mordo and Kaecilius."
Wong turned to look at the monastery. "If even Mordo was trapped inside, then the evil spirit within is most likely an extrely powerful Devil, or perhaps even a Demon King."
"Could it be a Dinsional Demon God?"
Mordo's strength ranked quite high within Kamar-Taj.
Ordinary evil spirits were nothing more than child's play to him.
Only entities on the level of a Demon God, such as Samael from the Silent Hill universe or Valak from The Nun, could possibly deal with Mordo.
Although Wong did not know the exact situation inside, he could already estimate how dangerous it was.
Wong looked toward Luke. "Your Excellency, according to Kamar-Taj's records, during the Middle Ages, a duke once attempted to summon a powerful demon within this castle."
"At the ti, our mages from Kamar-Taj happened to be nearby. Just as they were preparing to suppress it, people from the Church arrived and used the blood of Jesus to seal the demon here."
"The records contain the complete sealing process. According to them, so of the blood of Jesus left behind by the Church is still stored within a hidden chamber inside the castle."
"Perhaps if we can obtain the blood of Jesus, we may be able to seal the demon once again."
Father Burke was stunned upon hearing this.
Wait, he had never heard of any such records.
How did the people of Kamar-Taj know everything so clearly?
It sounded as though they had witnessed it themselves.
Father Burke wanted to contact the Church to verify the information, but Luke had already stepped forward and walked toward the monastery.
"Simply driving away a demon is aningless. Only a heavy blow will make those filthy creatures understand that Earth is not a place they can covet."
Hearing this, Wong recalled Luke's strength and imdiately showed a look of understanding.
He hurried after him without hesitation.
Father Burke and Sister Irene exchanged glances before silently agreeing to observe the situation first.
If things truly went out of control... they still had the blood of Jesus.
The four of them quickly entered the church grounds.
Only Maurice, the ordinary civilian unaffiliated with either Kamar-Taj or the Church, remained behind.
Maurice spread his hands helplessly. "Wait, what about ? What am I supposed to do?"
"Go ho."
Maurice was just about to take a step when a cold wind swept past him, making him shudder.
Looking around at the graveyard filled with crosses outside the church, he imdiately lost his courage.
"Alright, I'm going ho."
Inside the church,
Luke did not bother knocking. Amid Father Burke's hesitant silence, he pushed open the heavy doors with a creak.
A faint stench of decay drifted out from within.
Mixed with it was a trace of deathly aura.
However, aside from Luke, no one else noticed anything unusual.
Irene nervously made the sign of the cross.
"Irene, do you have any other relatives? I an, an older or younger sister."
Irene looked up. Luke was walking ahead of them. Was he speaking to her?
She was surprised that such an important figure would address soone like her, a nun who had not even officially completed her vows.
Irene nodded hesitantly. "I have a twin sister."
"Oh? Is her na Zoe?"
"How did you know?"
Irene looked up in shock.
At the sa ti, Luke's expression also turned strange.
Zoe and Irene were played by the sa actress, but he had not expected that after the worlds rged, they would actually beco twin sisters.
One was born with psychic abilities and beca the ideal candidate for a nun.
The other instinctively awakened witch powers and possessed the infamous Black Widow husband-killing curse.
Their family genes were truly outrageous.
