Chapter 24 - A New Ability
"[...
Name: Jonathan Belmont
[Occupation]: Exorcist, Hunter, and Paranormal Agent.
Talent: Night Vision.
[Effect]: You can see more clearly at night and vaguely perceive cursed spirits nearby.
[Effect]: You can bless both material and incorporeal things. By using this talent, you can turn anything into a weapon to fight evil.
Talent: Prayer Reading.
[Effect]: Any type of prayer, with spiritual strength and faith, can be used as a weapon to purify the souls of humans infected by evil. It can also be used to harm supernatural beings.
[Passive Ability]: Mastery of All Forms of Combat.
[Effect]: The bearer possesses innate and progressive mastery in all kinds of combat, physical or spiritual. He can wield any weapon, adapt to any fighting style, and execute complex tactics without prior training. His body, mind, and spirit act in perfect sync, improving offensive and defensive efficiency with each encounter.
[Supernatural Ability]: Advanced Telekinetic Mastery.
[Effect]: Allows manipulation of objects, bodies, and physical forces through concentrated spiritual energy. This ability ranges from surgical precision to destructive area force.
[Limitation]: Each use consumes a large amount of spiritual energy proportional to the mass and distance of the target. Under extreme emotional stress, precision decreases and mental strain multiplies. Requires absolute concentration; interruptions can cause loss of control.
[Supernatural Ability]: Advanced Manipulation of Hunter Instinct against Wesen.
[Effect]: The ability to see the true face of Wesen when they lose control.
[Limitation]: Reveals to the Wesen that you are a potential Hunter, since your eyes appear hollow, as black as the abyss—a unique trait only they can see.
[Passive Ability]: High-Level Autonomous Regeneration.
[Effect]: Mutated ability of accelerated bodily recovery. Inspired by patterns observed in Witch-type subjects. Allows healing of fractures, mortal wounds, and internal damage within minutes.
[Limitation]: Each regenerative cycle drains spiritual and physical energy. Consecutive regenerations reduce effectiveness temporarily and can induce severe fatigue, spiritual fever, or loss of consciousness if overused.
[Item]: Consecrated Spiritual Force Sword.
[Effect]: This sword does not possess a permanent physical form. Its blade manifests as a shining edge of pure light only when the bearer channels spiritual energy through the sacred hilt, forged with celestial silver and ancient runes. The sword responds to the user’s soul, glowing more intensely depending on the purity of his purpose. While wielded, it enhances the bearer’s abilities.
[Item]: Sacred Gauntlets.
[Effect]: A pair of consecrated gloves with inscriptions in Latin, Enochian, and protective seals engraved on purified infernal leather. When used by someone with high spiritual strength, these gauntlets allow exorcism of demonic entities through direct physical contact.
Each strike channels spiritual energy capable of weakening, sealing, or even banishing malevolent presences. They also enhance any talent related to blessings and prayers, amplifying their range and effectiveness.
…]”
“The instinct of a hunter… can I reveal the true hidden face of any monster?” Jonathan wondered as he felt the changes in his body when he manipulated his senses and could activate that ability at will.
Although nothing could escape his sight now, he didn’t feel comfortable with the fact that the Wesen could tell he was a potential hunter. It was true that the Grimm had left terror among the Wesen, but there were specialized groups of these creatures dedicated to hunting hunters.
But after seeing his attributes, Jonathan calmed down a little.
The ability of telekinesis and matter manipulation—the power to control anything his mind desired—was far too powerful. He didn’t know to what extent he could push this ability, but surely very far, considering he now possessed a large sum of energy.
The sensation of being able to do so many things was what he now felt with his abilities. Still, he wasn’t entirely sure if his powers would be considered abnormal for a priest, so he had to be very careful.
The last thing he wanted was to end up on the internet doing something strange and for someone, for whatever reason, to consider him some kind of dark entity.
It was true that many believe less than half of what they see online, but others believe practically everything that appears on their screens.
But focusing again—who could resist his abilities for exorcisms now that they were growing stronger?
Feeling the changes in his body, Jonathan didn’t put on music this time. Instead, he closed his eyes as he was taken back home.
After many delays, the sun had already been up for quite a while.
The sunlight was pleasant and very comforting, knowing he had lived another day to find out what the next one would bring. After getting out of the car with all his essential belongings, he said goodbye to Father Doung and then went into his room.
Once inside, the first thing Jonathan did was check the crosses hanging all over his house to confirm that no one had entered his most secret place. After that, he walked toward the underground storage.
He had prepared things for this trip, so after completing the task, it was time to put away everything he had carried in his backpack. Besides, the day was approaching when he needed to restock the supplies he had previously used.
“Today was a cold day too…” Jonathan murmured as he unloaded his weapons one by one, placing the bullets in their place to avoid any further problems.
After managing all the equipment, Jonathan looked at the large bag beside him. These were all the things the cannibals had recovered. He had found many items, like bone weapons and some strange books.
He had taken these things as trophies. Each time he finished a job, he would take something and place it on a shelf where all his achievements in this life were reflected, so he could be aware of everything he had done in this new life of redemption.
“I should buy a pet…” Jonathan looked at the desolate place and felt a void in his chest as he arranged all the things he hadn’t needed.
“I need more of those drugs…” Jonathan murmured when he saw that the powder for blinding enemies was gone.
Not wanting to sleep, Jonathan took a shower and, after getting dressed, left the house again.
…
Downtown
At that moment, a black car parked inside a shopping center. Jonathan, carrying a black backpack, got out and looked at all the people hurrying back and forth.
The whole scene was magnificent, no different from a great city in his old life. After admiring the absolute calm of the people, Jonathan began to walk.
Now that he was focusing his attention on other things, Jonathan felt much more excited about living a different life. With his days longer than usual, he had learned there were many things he could do during the day, and he wanted to make the most of it.
