As the black light spewed by the god vanished, the people, with no time to be surprised, continued hurling their attacks at it. Yet even Thirteenth Ring Warlocks like Mr. Pigman, Saint Byron's headmaster and the "Silver Keeper," and the Nature Church's "Nightmare Witch" failed to affect the god in any way.
