The Darkness #9

In "Spear of destiny 4," Jackie Estacado hunts down the Magdalena after her failed assassination attempt, tracking her to the Sisters of the Order of Magdalene’s hidden base. There, he witnesses the sisters performing the Holy Rite of Consignment, only to leave them all crucified as a chilling message to those who sent them. With Cardinal Innocent, Father Jasper, Appolonia Franchetti, Isaac, and Agnes caught in the web of this escalating conflict, the line between sacred duty and damnation blurs.

In "null," the young gypsy Michaelangelo Estacado shares the harrowing tale of his mother Donatella’s execution by the Inquisition, a memory that haunts him as he flees through the night. As he leaves the barn, the Inquisition arrives, forcing Cervantes to face the dark priest Sonatine, while Michaelangelo, consumed by grief and rage, awakens the Darkness in a violent clash with his pursuers. After collapsing from exhaustion, he is once again sheltered by the gypsies, his fate still uncertain.
