Leonard Churchill and the others kept their expressions unchanged; they had already anticipated this.
Elder Clinton continued, “However, an angel is a high-ranking creature that would never willingly submit to being manipulated by humans. Even if it’s just a residual soul, its instincts would want to escape from such magical servitude. Previously, it was likely guided by the presence of the Holy Nail, and hence followed you around.”
The five nodded in agreement at this explanation; their logic seemed sound.
So, what’s the solution?
Elder Clinton was straightforward, “I have an idea… if you use this nail as a host for his soul, you might be able to contain him and free him from the spellcaster’s control.”
The Weeping Angel seemed like a source of corruption.
The ability to kill people and extract souls was passively released.
It had no subjective consciousness at this point.
Once contained, the threat would be eliminated.
Or at least significantly reduced.
Upon hearing this plan, the group also felt that it was feasible.
Reuel Bible squinted slightly and said, “If we can solve the angel problem, perhaps I can return and wipe out those Old Days Believers.”
With the matter of direct relevance to him, Leonard asked, “So, what should we do now?”
Elder Clinton did not hesitate, “I need to borrow some of your blood.”
Leonard cautiously asked, “Can it be any other blood?”
He actually wanted to ask, why not your own?
Elder Clinton shook his head, “Vengeful spirits usually have causality and directionality in their obsessions. If I’m not mistaken, this nail was the weapon that sealed the angel back then.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Leonard with a puzzled look, wondering why the nail would be in his possession, he carried on, “Since you have obtained this nail, part of its obsession has shifted to you. Perhaps the residual consciousness feels that you can save it, or out of the instinct for benefits… Anyway, only you can resist that kind of soul-extracting curse.”
Leonard thought briefly after hearing these words, and did not hesitate much.
After all, if he didn’t do this, the angel seemed to continue to follow him.
He directly cut his finger and squeezed out some blood.
“Give me both the blood and the nail.”
Elder Clinton grew animated as well.
After all, if the problem was truly resolved, his risk would also largely disappear.
He took the nail, then dipped his finger in the blood and started drawing runes.
The five watched him draw runes with blood and didn’t think anything was special at first.
When they realized that the finger had drawn hundreds of trajectories in the air, they sensed that the quality of the runes was rather high!
This technique seemed quite formidable!
Seeing the runes drawn out of thin air, Leonard felt as if he was looking at the ancient Tarin symbols capable of containing advanced laws and special signs.
However, there was no time to ask about it right now.
As the rune gradually took shape, the nail began to glow with a black and white light.
However, as he continued to draw the runes, Elder Clinton suddenly paused and muttered to himself, “Huh… How do I draw it from this point…”
He clearly forgot about something. Still, immediately after he finished speaking, he shrugged and decided, “Never mind, it should be enough .”
When the final stroke of the rune was implemented, the Light and Dark Holy Nail began shining intensely with sacred light.
Elder Clinton stared at the glowing nail as if he was holding a hot potato and quickly passed it to Leonard, “Ask him to test it. See if he’s willing to go with you.”
Leonard received the Holy Nail and the Enlightenment Display showed a temporary glyph effect called Soul Calming Spells.”
He raised it and inquired the Weeping Angel, who had been observing him,
“Are you… would you like to come with me?”
The towering angel showed no comprehension in its vacant eyes, as if it did not understand.
However, the nail no longer exerted the uncomfortable constraint force on it.
The residual instinct unconsciously let it float towards Leonard.
At this point, the blood runes on the Light and Dark Holy Nail brightened, and the Holy Light and Extraordinary Traits of darkness started to surge.
As though reacting to something, the already semi-transparent Illusion of the angel darted into the Holy Nail.
The blood runes dimmed instantly.
The Holy Nail returned to its normal state.
Leaving the six of them looking at each other in bewilderment.
Leonard was under the mindset of giving it a try and hadn’t expected it to… actually work?
The Holy Nail had managed to contain the angel?
The reality left them with a sense of surrealism.
But in an instant, all six felt the tangible weight lift from their shoulders.
The most significant threat was gone..
