The witch thought I am a Demon God-Chapter 563 - 327: An Unprecedented Possession!_1
When Ivita previously spoke of mobilizing the army, it was most likely a deception to confuse the demon. After all, disrupting Maple Town’s troops over a single demon was not worthwhile. It could easily shock the entire town’s caravan, affecting Maple Town’s value in trade.
But this deception could easily rattle it, revealing its vulnerability.
As expected, as soon as the demon saw Kamizuki about to leave the house, it sprang into action, darting along the walls, ready to pounce on Kamizuki the moment he stepped outside.
But just in that instant, a Thunder Gun blocked its path. The possessed girl looked down to see herself face to face with the Hearthstone Witch.
The Hearthstone Witch held the holy scripture that the priest had dropped earlier, then, like a brick, she slammed it directly onto the girl’s forehead.
"In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I command you to reveal your identity and your origin."
Under the effect of the holy scripture, the girl’s pupils dilated suddenly. "How is that possible! You’re just a witch! Why would your rites have any effect on me?"
The Hearthstone Witch sneered, "Even if I lack a truly devout heart, so long as I hypnotize myself into fully believing in something, I can generate blind faith. With the Power of Blind Stupidity, I can at least drive out ordinary demons like you."
"Get lost!"
The possessed girl spoke with a tone of reluctance, "No... I... my name is—[Ra-Sa-Ayana]."
The girl’s body was now divided into two parts; her body on one side and the demon’s spirit on the other.
Since the body was heavier than the spirit, the demon’s spirit turned into a vortex of black mist engulfed in Hellfire, howling with rage in midair.
"No!"
The man who had remained silent — the girl’s father, let out a shriek. "Lord Ra-Sa-Ayana! It was only with great difficulty I managed to summon Him into the mortal world. How dare you, the lot of you, ruin my plan, I..."
Enraged, he ran at the Hearthstone Witch, a look of vehement hatred marring his features.
However, the Hearthstone Witch extended her left hand towards him. The next moment, his heart exploded within his chest. He clutched at his chest in disbelief, collapsing onto the ground.
He was dead.
The Hearthstone Witch said, "I see. So, the girl’s father was a follower of the Demon Cult. Then the official wizard who died earlier during the ceremony must have willingly sacrificed himself to enable the demon to descend."
"Just surprising, could a second-rank wizard have managed to summon a demon so easily?"
Ivita asked: "Is[Ra-Sa-Ayana]a high-level demon?"
The Hearthstone Witch shook her head, watching the demon’s soul, burning with Hell Power characteristic to Hellfire, disappearing into thin air. "[Ra-Sa-Ayana]is nothing more than an ordinary demon."
"Moreover, it was a demon transformed from an ordinary human."
"In some ancient villages on the continent, there are still those who worship the demon[Ra-Sa-Ayana]. Legend has it,[Ra-Sa-Ayana]was originally an ordinary woman who fell in love with a second-rank knight. After having their nuptials, the knight cruelly abandoned her, but little did he know,[Ra-Sa-Ayana]was carrying his child at the time."
"Eventually, she died of a broken heart, taking her unborn child with her. After her death,[Ra-Sa-Ayana]encountered one of the seventy-two Demon Kings, [Amon].[Amon], saddened by the woman’s overpowering negative energy at the time of her death, defiled her grave, allowing[Ra-Sa-Ayana]to rise from it. Of course, the cost being her child condemned to Hell, never to be reborn."
"Motherly love is one of the strongest magic powers in the world, but[Amon]’s Twisted Magic turned this love into the evil power of Hell. This allowed the spirit of an ordinary woman who had emerged from her grave to become one of the most formidable races in the world, the Demon Race."
The Hearthstone Witch whispered: "But it’s strange, even if[Ra-Sa-Ayana]descended into a human body, at most, she would be a fifth-rank ordinary demon. She’s not a high level demon at all. The terrifying presence I felt earlier, from what was it..."
Before she could finish, the girl who had been lying on the ground, having seemingly succumbed to the exorcism, suddenly rose to her feet and lunged at the Hearthstone Witch’s chest.
The girl’s left hand permanently transformed into a wild beast’s claw, slicing open the Hearthstone Witch’s abdomen and causing her to bleed profusely.
The Hearthstone Witch, Ivita, the Dead Cow Wizard, the girl’s mother, and the elderly father were all shocked.
After all, the demon had already left her body before.
The Hearthstone Witch shouted angrily: "That’s not right. You cheated. The demon I successfully expelled, how could it return to the girl’s body?"
"Ra-Sa-Ayana, you damn madwoman, you cheated."
The girl slowly looked up, her hair falling to reveal a face half male. "You’re right, Hearthstone."
"A demon is generally unable to return to the same body in a short amount of time after being exorcised."
"But the thing is, I’m not[Ra-Sa-Ayana]."
"I am...[Karlprut]!"
In the eyes of the Hearthstone Witch and Ivita, that demon known as[Karlprut]somehow had a chain in his hand. He wrapped it around the Hearthstone Witch, then dragged her towards the fireplace.
