John Constantine's Reputation

Clearly, this demon hated John Constantine. It had probably been tricked by that scoundrel before.

"Demon."

Loki lowered his spear slightly. "I agree with you, but right now, I need you to leave this girl's body!"

"I cannot, noble Prince Loki."

The demon possessing the girl shook its head. "I came here on Prince Mammon's orders. Until I receive further instructions, I will not go anywhere."

"Mammon?"

Loki's expression changed. "What does that bastard want?"

"..."

The demon gave Loki a strange look but said nothing.

"Bastard!"

Loki also knew that Mammon was one of Hell's rulers and Lucifer's son. In terms of status, he was little different from Loki himself. If Mammon wanted to show him respect, he would call him prince. If not, then he would simply stop speaking, just as he had now.

"Was all this done by Mentor Lucifer's son?"

Harry Potter and Mera, standing nearby, wore gossiping expressions. "Why would Mammon do this?"

"For what?"

Loki snorted, a mocking look on his face. "Lucifer himself is practically ready to give up his position as one of Hell's rulers, but his sons are unwilling to give up the authority and power that come with being the son of Hell's ruler. They even want to replace Lucifer!"

"Clearly, this demon's arrival means Mammon has already begun making his moves."

Loki raised his spear and aimed it at the girl. "Demon, in the name of Odin's son, I command you to get out of this girl's body!"

Clearly, the name of Odin's son mattered far less to the demon than Mammon's orders. It simply hid deep within the girl's soul, leaving the innocent girl to face the fierce-looking Loki alone.

"Let me handle it!"

Harry could not stand watching any longer. He knew that Loki, proud as Odin's son, looked down on the Exorcism Manual written by the mortal John Constantine. He had never read it, so naturally, he had no means of exorcising demons.

But Harry was different. As an ordinary person, a wizard who had studied at Hogwarts, and a hero who had faced Voldemort, he understood one truth well: knowledge was power.

He had thoroughly studied the Exorcism Manual and knew how to drive this demon out of the poor girl's body.

"Bring me a mirror."

Harry spoke to the girl's father, who was being held back by others to stop him from rushing over and fighting Loki desperately. "I'll make the demon leave your daughter's body."

"Really?"

The girl's father was a bearded man. He glared at Loki, who had put away his spear with an unhappy expression, then said in a trembling voice, "You... can you really drive the devil out of my daughter?"

"I can."

Harry nodded and, with the girl's father's help, obtained a full-length mirror.

"Levitation Charm!"

After casting a Levitation Charm from Hogwarts on the mirror and suspending it above himself and the girl, Harry took out a coin and pressed it against the girl's forehead.

This was a coin from ancient Rome, once used by Saint Jesus. It carried holy power and was one of the tools used to drive away demons.

With the coin pressed against her forehead, flames appeared there as Harry began chanting an exorcism spell.

The intense pain made the girl struggle violently.

"Don't come any closer! And ordinary people, don't open your eyes!"

Harry shouted this before raising his voice and chanting again.

In the mirror behind them, the girl's reflection was gradually replaced by a hideous, terrifying figure. It glared through the mirror at Harry's back!

"Is this... exorcism?"

At that moment, Zhang Yang and John Constantine also arrived. They saw the displeased Loki, the regretful-looking Mera, and the focused, serious Harry.

"Not bad."

Constantine lit a cigarette and took a deep drag. "But he used the wrong spell. He should be using the Soul-Banishing Spell from the Hell Bible here, sending it directly back to Hell."

"What's the difference between the two?"

Zhang Yang knew Harry was using an exorcism spell from the Bible, which had roughly the same effect as the Soul-Banishing Spell in the Hell Bible. He did not understand the difference.

"Keep watching."

Constantine did not answer. He merely gestured for Zhang Yang to continue watching.

Amid Harry's impassioned chanting, the girl quieted down, but the demon in the mirror became unusually violent.

It attacked the mirror again and again... each strike leaving another crack across its surface.

"Avada Kedavra!"

Harry did not turn around. He merely raised a finger, pointed it at the mirror behind him, and cast the Killing Curse.

In an instant, the mirror shattered into pieces, and the demon that had been about to burst out was torn apart as well.

"Wonderful."

Constantine clapped. "Harry, you have a solid grasp of exorcism knowledge."

"Thank you, Mentor."

Harry nodded shyly.

"Loki."

Constantine looked at the unconvinced Loki beside him and said regretfully, "Only when you let go of that pathetic pride and self-respect of yours will you be able to improve."

"Mortal!"

Loki did not deny Constantine's words. "What could you possibly know of a god's thoughts?"

"You have completely disappointed Frigga."

Constantine sighed, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and casually tossed it away, drawing a magic circle as he did so. "Frigga, you saw it. This is your son."

"John~!"

A gentle voice came from the magic circle. The phantom of a graceful, noble woman appeared before everyone. "We meet again."

"Has Loki done something wrong? Let me talk to him!"

"Mother, I..."

Before Loki could say much, a terrifying wave of energy suddenly appeared above them. It pierced through the house and landed on Loki.

Poor little Loki was taken away by that beam of light before he could even finish speaking.

"John, next time, I'll treat you to Asgard's finest wine."

Frigga smiled faintly at Constantine, and her phantom slowly faded away.

"Frigga, queen of Asgard... Could she possibly have some special relationship with John Constantine too?"

Zhang Yang's eyes gleamed as he watched from the side. He knew exactly what kind of person Constantine was. His ex-girlfriends were scattered all over the world; he had not even spared King Shark.

As for who was on top and who was on the bottom between him and King Shark... only God knew!

"I feel like you're thinking something improper."

Constantine gave Zhang Yang a suspicious glance, then announced who would receive today's course points. "Harry, plus ten points!"

"Thank you, Mentor!"
