Chapter 1622: A “God” With Chicken Wings

After Luke killed Alessa’s doppelganger, the monsters scattered.

Of course, Luke wouldn’t let them go. He chased after them and blew them up.

These monsters didn’t give him any experience or credit points, but this was another test since he wanted to confirm something.

In the end, he had only killed a few dozen of them, when an enormous pressure appeared out of thin air and sent him flying.

Luke stopped chasing the monsters and turned around to look at the church not far behind him.

Boom!

There was a loud bang, and an enormous figure emerged from the church. “A soul full of murderous intent. How delicious.”

Luke narrowed his eyes and fired.

Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi!

The gunfire hit the gigantic figure.

But the other figure didn’t dodge, and simply stood up slowly.

The bullets hit its knee and shattered.

“It’s useless, sinner. Your desire for destruction will only make me stronger,” the gigantic figure said as it stepped out of the ruins of the church.

At that moment, it finally appeared in front of Luke.

The monster had the head of a goat and long sharp horns.

It had the upper torso and arms of a man, though the chest was more like a woman’s. The area below its chest was empty, except for a backbone that was connected to a pelvis and skinny legs.

Apart from that, it also had a pair of… hm, chicken wings, on its back?

Although it wasn’t an accurate description, Luke really felt that it was already generous to call them chicken wings.

Even the angel wings, bat wings or butterfly wings used in cosplay looked better. At the very least, they weren’t half-featherless.

The only intimidating-looking thing about these half-featherless chicken wings were the dark, sinuous symbols on them which moved as if they were alive.

Luke might grumble about the chicken wings, but he turned serious.

He had trampled on the four demons of earth, water, wind and fire, and had punched the previous Ghost Rider.

After learning Demonology, he now had some more knowledge of demons, on top of what he had learned through Mephisto.

Looking at the symbols, Luke knew that this would be a “big transaction.”

This goat-headed demon might look like Baphomet, but the demonic script on its wings said otherwise.

Ordinary people might be duped by this appearance. In any case, it wasn’t entirely similar.

If it dared to use the name “Baphomet,” however, the first person to kill it would be Baphomet himself.

As for whether or not Baphomet was an incarnation of Satan, even Mephisto wasn’t sure. All he knew was that Baphomet was an absolutely terrifying existence.

It was like how Mephisto had secretly pretended to be Fate and delivered the Loom of Fate.

As long as the appearance was a little similar and the words were a little more cryptic, the stupid humans would misunderstand all on their own.

From this “Baphomet’s” appearance, it should be a leader of sorts.

In Hell, it would be similar to a general under Blackheart, but it was much stronger than the four demons.

The four demons were just small fry who had snuck onto Earth. In Hell, even working together, they would be smashed to a pulp by this guy.

Luke was actually a little disappointed.

He basically couldn’t obtain the abilities of evil spirits like these from Hell. He could only gain a little more knowledge at most.

But this sort of mid- to low-ranking evil spirit wouldn’t know more than Mephisto. It would just be a few more details at most.

The only thing he could get from this guy was experience and credit points.

But Luke had already spent close to 10,000 faith points and thousands of credit points on this trip.

Killing or injuring this guy would definitely require a lot of credit points. It really wouldn’t be easy this time.

Thinking quickly, Luke put the Gatling guns away in his inventory.

They weren’t very useful for dealing with this boss-level evil spirit.

Just nice, Luke preferred close combat.

When his hands came back out of his cape, they were holding a pair of revolvers, and he fired at the approaching horned demon.

The armor-piercing, explosive and incendiary bullets shot out one after another.

This time, they finally had an effect. The armor-piercing bullets continued to be deflected, but the explosive bullets stopped the horned demon slightly, while the incendiary bullets successfully set the horned demon’s knee on fire.

The horned demon looked down at the noise, then chuckled. “You’re attacking me with fire?”

As it spoke, its body suddenly flared with flames. “Look, this is the most resplendent hellfire.”

The horned demon seemed a little impatient. “Your soul is being cursed by countless evil spirits. Let me see if it’s a divine purity or a great evil.”

As it spoke, it cut its wrist with its sharp nails, and then quickly drew a rune in the air in front of it.

Luke silently put his revolvers back into his holsters and took out an electromagnetic pulse sniper rifle from behind his cape. He aimed it at the goat’s head and pulled the trigger.

Bam! Bam!

With a loud bang, the bullet hit the goat’s head, and it exploded to reveal white bone.

The goat’s head was also thrown back.

Bam! Bam!

A second bullet hit it in the chin, scattering white bone fragments.

The horned demon’s tall body was pushed back by the enormous force.

Bam! Bam!

Luke had already leapt into the air after firing the third bullet. He looked down from high above and shot the goat’s head in the jaw.

Bam! Bam!

With the fourth shot, the horned demon fell.

Bam! Bam!

“Enough!” The horned demon finally stopped casting its spell and covered its jaw with one hand. “I’m a ‘god’…”

It had been hit three times in a row by the pulse bullets, and a hole had already appeared in its jaw. The bone around the hole cracked, and its jaw looked like it was about to break.

Unmoved, Luke pulled the trigger again.

Bam! Bam!

Golden light suddenly appeared on the bullet, and it curved in a small arc to bypass the horned demon’s palm and hit it in the jaw again.

Pa! There was the crisp sound of bone breaking.

The horned demon screamed. It felt as if a burning iron needle had pierced its chin, and the lower half of its jaw was a little numb.

Its tongue started to turn numb and its cries turned muffled.

But the demon wasn’t Alessa, and it reacted much faster.

In just an instant, it completely changed the rules around it.

The next bullet struggled to hit its jaw for a moment, before it finally dropped.

Luke’s expression didn’t change. He suddenly put the sniper rifle away and took out a 20mm machine gun from under his cape.

Since this guy was foolishly standing there to be beaten up, he naturally didn’t have to be polite.

As for how he was able to take out a 20mm machine gun from under his cape, that was something for the other party to think about.

Thump thump thump thump!

The muffled sound of a machine gun rang out, the bullets still aimed at the hole in the horned demon’s jaw.
