The black smoke exploded in the sky, also bringing some shockwaves, but within Jimmy's Heart Eye range, he saw the explosion's scope being limited. The energy dissipated from the three priests formed a gigantic energy net in the air, where the black smoke dissipated and completely vanished.

Jimmy could only tell by their colors that these energies were different, not certain what they were. However, based on Priest Rodney and their identities, one could simply guess it was the power of the Holy Light.

It isn't unimaginable that these exorcist priests could request Holy Power. After all, in this world filled with supernatural events, the Church has dedicated exorcist priests with corresponding solutions, which is normal.

Priest Rodney and the others did not stop their prayers immediately. The priest in the middle, Bennett, had already frozen in place. After reciting another passage of prayer, only then did Priest Rodney and others retract the insignias and crosses from their hands and gently lay Priest Bennett on the ground.

In just the time of being possessed, Priest Bennett had become excessively thin. Besides his face, which looked like there was not much flesh left, he was emaciated like someone malnourished and who hadn't eaten for a long time. His body and limbs had also simultaneously lost much fat and muscle. Although not quite to the point of skin and bones, it was close enough. Previously, Priest Bennett was a strong exorcist priest, not fragile at all.

It seems after being possessed and then immediately fighting with the priests and Jimmy, he had no channel to obtain energy and could only consume his host. This explains it well; generally, those possessed exhibit some physical alterations.

Fortunately, Priest Rodney checked on Bennett; he was still alive, just passed out.

Jimmy turned to look at the priest with a fractured arm. He was standing while holding his arm, which had bled a lot. Emergency measures had just been taken to bind it at the upper arm to slow the massive blood loss. From the break, the splintered bone could be seen, indicating a very severe fracture.

Now that Priest Bennett had been saved and the Evil Spirit expelled, the priest's taut nerves relaxed, a pain-twisted expression appearing on his face, accompanied by wailing. It awakened the priests who were checking on Bennett, and they rushed immediately to the injured priest to examine him again.

The severity of the priest's injuries made Jimmy realize a major issue. He had just taken several hits from Priest Bennett, even facing off with him, yet he didn't sustain such severe injuries and was even able to fire his gun normally. This was difficult to explain. Was it supposed to be said that Priest Bennett went easy on him?

Priest Rodney stood up: "We'll head to the hospital immediately. Jimmy, I'll leave this place to you."

Jimmy: "No problem, I'll watch over here. Bring the demolitions expert Tony along; he fainted from the start."

Rodney: "No problem, we'll leave right away."

Priest Rodney carried Bennett while the other two priests supported the injured priest. Jimmy helped with Tony, getting them into two cars. Priest Rodney and the others drove straight to the hospital, leaving the explanations to them.

Jimmy stood on-site watching them leave, first surveying the surroundings to ensure no one else was present, before starting to organize his things.

Jimmy's clothes were already tattered. Priest Bennett did not always use his fists; some attack moves turned fists into claws, severely tearing Jimmy's clothes. Yet, it wasn't essential to change clothes now; he merely sorted his belongings before starting to pick up shell casings and the priests' weapons from the ground.

While sending people off, the priests hadn't tidied up; the scene was chaotic. Jimmy just made sure to clear the shell casings and similar items he could see; otherwise, the scene would look too horrifying.

Amidst cleaning up, Jimmy's phone rang. After a glance, he answered, "Mark, what's up?"

Mark: "Yang, when do you think you'll finish up over there and come back?"

Jimmy: "I might need a bit more time."

Mark: "We've got some news here about the robbers."

Jimmy guessed the message might be unsuitable for discussing over the phone when Mark stopped: "Is there an issue? If it can wait, I'll handle it when I return, otherwise deal with it with Mahong and follow his plans."

Mark: "Okay, that's settled then."

Jimmy: "Wait, how is Julia now?"

Mark: "She's out of the danger period, currently still in ICU for observation and recovery."

Jimmy: "Okay, call me if anything comes up."

Fortunately, Mark called a few minutes late. Had it rung during the battle, it might have affected their combat.

After finishing up the site, Jimmy got back in the car, lit a cigarette, and reflected on the earlier fight. It was the first time Jimmy had witnessed Priest Rodney using their method for exorcism, particularly the last move that confined him and Priest Bennett together. The formation created by the three priests was unbelievably strong. Why hadn't they used that move earlier?

Jimmy pondered; it was probably because Priest Bennett had been fighting back constantly. From the earlier fight, to avoid severely injuring Bennett, the four of them could only fight to a stalemate with the possessed Priest Bennett, insufficient to completely suppress him, leaving no time to unleash that binding ability.
