Why was Valak not sent back to Hell?

Why was Valak not sent back to Hell? - Man in Black Jacket Standing on Brown Rock Mountain Under Blue Sky

In the latest entry of The Conjuring universe, the Nun, the evil nun Valak was sealed back to Hell at the end of the movie with Christ's blood.

But later, it was revealed that Valak possessed the Canadian-French shortly before the final showdown.

My question is:

  • If Valak possessed the Canadian-French man, what was sealed back to Hell with Christ's blood?


Best Answer

No, he might have somehow tricked the protagonists into believing that he was sealed, as he had already possessed the French man before they attempted to seal him.

Another possibility is that, being a demon and having no physical body, he might have left a little part of himself in the French man, which made him maintain his connection to this world, and return easily from hell.

Weaknesses. Like all unholy creatures, Valak is weak to holy weapons, & is susceptible to an exorcism if done correctly. His true form is also difficult to maintain in the physical world, as he requires a host body to thrive on Earth properly.
