Reverend Apocalysis: Reality Surpassed Fiction
Chapter 16: Strange Events
Three Cups Motel
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A young man was having fun playing on his phone while working at the motel reception, unaware of the commotion happening on the second floor.
But suddenly, the sounds that had increased in intensity were clearly heard coming from the second floor, which was natural in this place, right? Don't people come to a motel just to have sex?
Most do wit...

Chapter 57 - Armament
Anton entered the training room and walked towards the different tables with carefully prepared weapons. He looked into the distance at Rafael gathering the agents into their assigned groups.
In fact, just before the armament list was issued for the units, he contacted the department to request specific weapons he wanted to carry. The last time he fought a physical anomaly, its skin was too tough to be penetrated enough to cause re...

Chapter 56: It's a Job
Now, this group of highly trained men and women, or rather, collectively referred to as special agents of the Association of Light, have the necessary requirements to face corporeal dark entities, field research, and highly complex mission supervision.
At that moment, Anton looked at Rafael and said, "We need to explain the second part."
Rafael nodded and pressed a button, lighting up a huge screen next to Anton.

Chapter 55: Initiation
When Anton descended to the basement of this building, he walked towards his office to finish some pending paperwork so that everything would be completed. What surprised him was that Rafael was here, along with Thomas, who had been transferred to undergo rigorous training.
At noon, there were around two hundred people seated in an auditorium within the Association of Light base located in this art museum. Each of them held a thic...

Chapter 54: A Few Days Later
"You have been assigned a new title due to your recent victory over a demon prince. Your father, Sebastian, is very proud to hear about your recent successful exorcisms," said an envoy from the Association of Light who had arrived at Anton's house a few days after the exorcism.
Anton, with his arm bandaged, looked at the elderly man and said, "Do all the higher-ups in the Association of Light agree that someone so young shou...

Chapter 53: Different Methods
"What did you say, you damn pig?!" Henry roared with desperation burning in his eyes.
Anton took a deep breath and murmured, "Your name is Asmodeus, the demon of lust... You are known in many cultures, under many names, as responsible for the sexual sins of humans, condemning their souls to the second circle of hell."
Crack! Crack! Crack!
At that moment, the walls cracked, but Anton remained unmoved.

Chapter 52: Priest, Pray for Us
After careful consideration, combined with Anton's actions, Henry felt a significant threat coming from the bloodied cross in the young priest's hand. Anton appeared to have much more experience than the other priest, who had easily succumbed to temptation.
"Oh... It seems you're a special case. I'm surprised that a human can withstand so much power in the palm of his hand." Henry lifted the upper part of his body and gra...

Chapter 51: Letting the Moment Take Over
Anton looked at Henry calmly; the deceased could never make him angry because he knew perfectly well what he was up against, and a dark entity could never provoke his anger in this life.
"Priest Anton..." Thomas, who was still being held by Anton with one hand, widened his eyes in surprise. Only after being lowered to the ground did he regain his composure.
"[You have used 400 Faith points...]"

Chapter 50: A Powerful Entity
"Wait, before I can believe you, I need to know exactly how all these people found out about my son's problems." Julia began to cry, feeling overwhelmed by the confusion.
Anton then understood, turned to the woman, and said, "They are also priests, but unlike us, they were here to check if this place is surrounded by darkness. After that, they would take care of driving away all the people who are not involved with the poss...

Chapter 49: The First Step to Becoming Better
"Do you know who we are dealing with?" On the way, Anton asked this question to Thomas, who was silent.
Thomas looked at Anton and said, "As a child, it is said that he was possessed by a dark entity, and our duty will be to expel that darkness before the damage to the child's body becomes irreparable."
"Well, we have arrived..." Anton parked his car on the outskirts of the city, just in the direction...

Chapter 48: A New Exorcism
Looking at this ancient-looking church, Esquibel walked cautiously until a gun was pointed at his head, and Rafael, who emerged from the shadows, asked, "Who are you to not fill this sacred place with your blood right now?"
"Am I in the right place?" Esquibel, who asked this question, heard in the distance a faint sound of footsteps, and in the dim light of the candles, he saw a man wearing a robe similar to his but very diffe...

Chapter 47: Something New
As Anton drove his car, he checked the time, sighed, and realized that despite his complications, the world had to keep moving forward without stopping. Something curious but very burdensome.
When he arrived at the church, he turned off the car's engine and got out. Upon entering the main building, Anton looked at the altar in the grand hall, illuminated by both natural light and numerous candles surrounding it. As he walked to...

Chapter 46: Changes
In a dimly lit room, the glow of various computers illuminated Moon, who hadn't slept in the past thirty hours while researching everything Anton had asked her. Being a request from a ShadowBane, she was more than eager to complete the task with excessive detail.
Moon, a thirty-year-old girl, wore a long-sleeved shirt and shorts, sitting in an armchair while eating a triple-meat hamburger. Her careless attire might give a bad impress...

"Will they recover?"
A day later, Anton stood in front of seven beds where exactly the same number of young women lay, each with an intravenous drip connected to their arms.
Rafael, who had been in charge of bringing all the women who could survive, sighed. "In these aspects, their rehabilitation will be complicated. They will understand what is happening in two months and know what to do in three."

Chapter 44: Imprudence
"What have you done, Mr. Smith?" Anton asked as his trembling hands were placed on the wounds of the elderly man, who was agonizing on the ground.
"Give me your hand, son. Now that you're here, I feel more at ease, and it comforts me not to die alone," Smith looked at Anton, sensing his presence, believing that he wasn't dreaming.
Anton's eyes showed clarity; he couldn't bear these overwhelming emotions that surged within h...

Chapter 43: A Bloodbath
People who have lived long enough know that a man with nothing to lose in his quest for revenge can become relentless and reckless, as he has no fears or consequences to hold him back. This might lead to extreme actions and dangerous behaviors.
Many in a shootout know exactly what to do and which key points to take into account. Old Smith, a man experienced in all types of combat, is exactly the man who knows what to do without f...

Chapter 42: Two Bullets
As if others felt he was watching, the person in front of him turned out to be Santiago. He looked deeply at him and then at the small room next to him. It seemed he found some amusement and said with a repugnant smile, "Old man, want to have some fun with any of them? They're all prostitutes, and the price is very low."
Old Smith stared at him. "Kid, do you think this joke is funny?"
Santiago's eyebrows on the right side ...

Chapter 41: The Blood of Resentment
Feeling Santiago's warnings, old Smith behaved like a nervous elder and cautiously said, "I heard that in this place, you have some things, you know, things you do business with."
Santiago seemed to want to discern the intentions of the old man in front of him, so he stared at him for a good while. Meanwhile, the expression of old Smith remained unchanged, only revealing his interest in trading.
Seeing this, Sa...

Chapter 40: A topic I need to focus on
Anton looked at the scene behind Officer Derek with a certain incredulity and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Upon hearing Anton's curious question, Officer Derek raised his head and looked at the crowd gathered around. There was a group of young people taking photos, and he shook his head upon seeing them. "What we know is that two gang members from a troublesome group died in the house of a recently deceased elderl...

Chapter 39: Something Broken
Anton ran around searching for Old Smith, visiting his house, his wife's grave, and shady places, but couldn't find him. He moved his influence, but still, there was no sign of him. After many hours of searching, he returned home for a quick shower, grabbed a few things, and set out to search the entire city while driving in the car that had been sent to him.
He didn't want to invoke anyone else since this was his own proble...

Chapter 38: Questioning Good and Evil
"What is my true purpose in this world?" Anton pondered all the circumstances and still couldn't fully understand what his objectives were in this world. It wasn't enough to just eliminate evil spirits, kill werewolves, and much more. It still wasn't sufficient; he knew he had to act more like the world does and at least feel that nothing had escaped him.
Anton also couldn't understand Old Smith's decision, but one ...

Chapter 37: The Story of Old Smith
"Priest Anton, you have returned at last."
Anton, who was petting a cat that seemed eager to nibble on his hand, looked up and saw the familiar elderly man. After a moment of thought, he recalled that he had spoken to this old man before exorcising an evil spirit at the Norris family's house. At that time, the old man's wife was hospitalized.
Observing the tired face of Old Smith and the overflowing sadness in h...

As usual, Akira was at the hotel reception, welcoming people looking for a room in the hotel managed by her father. She typically worked as a concierge, so being the daughter of a wealthy dad was something she never got to enjoy, even though it didn't interest her.

"Anton ShadowBane, have you become an ungrateful son now that you serve as an exorcist priest?"
"You've kept me so busy that I can barely sleep. Should I be an ungrateful son or fulfill my duties?" Anton looked at his father expressionlessly.
This was his dad, Sebastian ShadowBane, the Grand Exorcist, leader of the Light Association, and an incredibly powerful man.
As a distinguished figure wh...

Chapter 34: A Parallel World
"A parallel world, but highly distorted; not only the supernatural inhabits this world, but also specialized assassins." Anton turned his gaze to the clothing store, shook his head, attempting to erase his questioning thoughts, and descended into the elevator to take his car again.
As a global organization, the Association of Light stands far above any other, but one that is on par is the High Order, known for practically co...

The Light Association is a large organization that is scattered around the world, and although it is funded by the governments of different countries, it remains secret even within those countries. In many places in the world, darkness silently reigns—examples include countries that have always lived in war or where evil exists. Darkness manifests in different forms, and even if they are prepared, many times they lose the battle w...

Chapter 31: The Results
The sun had risen slowly, but now in different parts of the forest, large curtains of smoke were rising towards the sky with fury. In each of these locations, men in black tactical combat uniforms were burning numerous cabins where they had found the cannibals.
Considering that these resins had killed perhaps hundreds or even thousands of people, counting all the crimes of which we have no knowledge, there was no need to leave an...

This group of armed individuals was known as the soldiers of the Light Association, elite soldiers responsible for eliminating corporeal threats and acting as the reapers of exorcist priests who received the authority to summon them. Anton, a direct descendant of the ShadowBane family, had full authority over most of these forces, so after summoning them, Anton exited the cabin.

It wasn't until the headless corpse fell to the ground and blood dripped that the deformed assassin reacted. Roaring in pain at the sight of a loved one's murder, he looked directly in the direction from which the shots came. However, just as he was about to make a move, he saw a man dressed in black approaching.
He had a slim figure and seemed very weak, but his breathing and confidence showed streng...
