Hunting the Church of Night
Three angels belonging to the order of innocents who went by the names of Mehitable, Gideon, and Jerathmiel lead a hunt against the Church of Night, rounding them up and taking them to the Desecrated Church after failing to take the ghost children to Heaven. The area of the Desecrated Church was then reconsecrated with holy water to keep the witches trapped inside and to keep other witches out.
The angels tried to get the witches to convert to the side of God, killing them when they refused or couldn’t due to the terms of their pacts with the Dark Lord. However, having been baptized at birth, Sabrina was able to enter the reconsecrated church to attempt to stop the angels from killing any more witches. Her powers were bound, after Methitable placed a crown of thorns on her head. The angels went on to try to get Sabrina to convert, however, when she refused, they fired several arrows at her, killing her.
Sabrina vs. the Angels
After killing Sabrina, Jerathmiel tried to burn the Weird Sisters at the stake. However, he was not to succeed. Sabrina rose from the dead with greater powers than before. She used her newfound power to force the angels to their knees and made them recite The Dark Lord’s prayer.
"I am the Dark Lord's sword!"
— Sabrina Spellman
Afterward, she was asked what she was. She answered, saying that she was the “Dark Lord’s Sword”. She then conjured hellfire and incinerated all the angels.
