8. Hell Hurricane
On the ashes plains of the Wasteland Hell, there is not much time left until midnight.
At the flaming skeleton locomotive, Merlin is communicating with Zakon and Ghost Rider about the final matters.
"This demon's body is infused with so much metal, it can last for a few minutes at most."
Merlin moved his arms as if sensing a new garment.
He sensed this demonic body with average strength, but it could basically resist most toxins.
Time is a bit tight, and there must be more powerful demons in this wasteland hell that can be occupied.
But time waits for no one.
Let's make do with it.
Merlin moved his body and walked over to the Ghost Rider, and said to Zatanos:
"One last request... Tonight, let Johnny do the driving! ”
"Are you crazy?"
Zatanus roared:
"He'll be killed by those demons! He's just an ordinary person! Without my protection, he can't defeat even the weakest demons! ”
"But his driving skills are more than ten times better than yours!"
Merlin pointed to the gates of hell that stood in the distance, and he said in a cold voice:
"It's a chase with enemies on all sides, and I need the best racers in the world to control the direction!"
"As for the question of whether he will be killed... Isn't there still you? ”
"What do you mean?"
Ghost Rider jerked to his feet.
The fire on it pulsed, and it pointed at Merlin, and it roared:
"You asked me to give him the power? Go on the scamp? ”
"No, not to give."
Merlin said without giving an inch:
"It's fusion..."
"I know you look down on Johnny, and every time you transform, you're dominating the Ghost Rider's body. You don't feel like Johnny deserves to be your knight, and you don't give him control at all. ”
"But Zatanos, let me tell you, tonight, you must merge with Johnny and make him a true Ghost Rider!"
"You must let him dominate your power!"
"What if I don't?"
Zatanos took a step back, and it looked at Merlin.
It says:
"I'm getting weaker, but you're not in your heyday, raven... You're not the Heavenly Father you used to be, you don't want to direct me! Johnny is your dog and does what he says to you, but I'm not! ”
"Really?"
A hideous smile flashed on the demon's face in front of Ghost Rider.
The magic power given by the three ancient demons boiled in this demonic body.
With the click of the joints, the demon seemed to evolve, its body rising higher, and its body appeared with hideous bone spurs and a blazing mane.
Zatanos felt the pressure, and with a howl, it summoned the fire of hell and threw itself at Merlin.
Merlin snapped his fingers slightly.
"Huh"
Bands of dark red light burst out of the air like jets of cobwebs, binding precisely to the Ghost Rider's limbs.
In the next moment, in the midst of the roar of the flames, the Ghost Rider was grabbed from the ground.
The red shackle that stretched out of the void wrapped around the Ghost Rider's limbs, pulling its body apart in the air.
It's like a prisoner tied to a wooden frame.
Superior magic, Setolak's crimson drawstring.
Despite the loss of Crimson Power, the knowledge given to him by the Crimson Lord is still there, and this super-level magic Merlin can still be used.
And in the face of Zatanos, who was also weakened, the effect of this binding magic was amazing.
The flaming skeleton struggled, but no matter how much it struggled, it couldn't break free from its shackles.
The straps grew tighter and tighter, like living pythons, and they brought pressure and almost broke the bones of Ghost Rider's hands.
Merlin stepped forward, lowered his voice, and said to Zatanos:
"It's been more than seven months since I fell here, and every day I have too much anger in my heart."
"Anger can make people do irrational things, Zatanos, and if you really think I can't tear you down here, just keep howling."
His voice became cold, like ice extending from his heart.
He reached out and clasped the burning fingers of the vengeful spirit.
He said:
"I warn you one last time! The spirit of vengeance..."
"Click"
A burning phalanx bone was broken violently, which was not a fatal injury for the Ghost Rider who could be resurrected indefinitely, not even a serious injury, but painful...
Pain is unavoidable.
"Tonight, you can do whatever I tell you to do!"
"Click"
Another sound of bones breaking, and Ghost Rider's left hand was ripped off, thrown to the ground, and trampled off by Merlin.
This made Zakang, who was standing behind Merlin, couldn't help but shudder.
Merlin says he hasn't changed...
Now it seems that he may have lied.
"Click"
With a final snap, Zatanos's skeletal head was pulled off by Merlin and clasped in his hand.
He looked at the burning skull and eye sockets in front of him.
The terrifying magic converged into a chilling wind, and Zatanos let out a roar of pain at the hiss of a dark raven.
It's like a thousand cold needles piercing its soul.
Won't die...
But it hurts, it hurts.
Merlin's voice became soft, and he said to the skull that was about to be extinguished in front of him:
"Do you want to know why Mephistopheles is scared like a chicken?"
"I can frighten it, and I can tear you down too..."
"Tonight, you'd better not mess with me!"
"Do you understand?"
Zatanos did not answer.
But silence is everything.
Merlin dissipated the crimson chains, and he tossed them away.
The throbbing skull was caught by the headless knight with one hand and snapped to his spine.
The Ghost Rider stared at Merlin, and in Merlin's expressionless gaze, the flames on his body seemed to be extinguished by the wind.
But soon, the flame was rising again.
"Merlin?"
Johnny's hoarse voice rang out from the mouth of the burning skeleton, his palatine bone moving up and down, and he looked at the body of the ghost rider he controlled.
Puzzled, he said:
"What happened? Why did Zatanos suddenly give me control of his body? ”
"It's tired, Johnny."
Merlin reached out and patted Johnny's burning shoulder, and he said:
"I persuaded it, it's a vengeful spirit who knows what is right, and it's decided to take a break tonight and hand over the stage to you."
"There, the gates of hell!"
Merlin raised his paw and pointed to the gates of hell at the end of the crowd's eyes, and he said to Johnny:
"You can squander the power of the Vengeful Spirit at will tonight, and what you have to do is simple..."
"Avoid the demons as much as possible, don't fight them, and get us as close to that door as possible..."
"You just drive, I'll think of a way to break through!"
"Can it be done?"
The Flame Skull sitting on the locomotive tilted its head, it placed its burning hand bone on the grip of the cool locomotive, and at the sound of throttle banging, Johnny turned to Merlin and said:
"Zatanos only walks in a straight line, and it's perfect when it accelerates in a straight line... But alas, the car is not driven like this! ”
The Flame Skull grinned at its palate bones and gave Merlin an extremely terrifying smile.
It gave Merlin a thumbs up, and it said:
"Tonight, watch me!"
"What about me?"
Zakang is trying to reduce his sense of existence.
He is the weakest of the three, and he has almost no bright spots except for his good brain and attractive attack on women.
And facing tens of thousands of crazy demons, and even the malice of this land, it seems that it is not something that Zakang will do.
He has always been wise and self-preservation, and he is not very willing to take risks.
But at this moment, he really can't do it without speaking.
On the one hand, he was indeed eager to take advantage of this opportunity to leave this hellish place.
On the other hand, he was frightened by Merlin, who had just burst out.
That kind of cold, murderous intent, like a substantial purgatory spirit, and a suffocating aura like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, is something that Zakang has never seen in Merlin.
He didn't want to anger Merlin.
He didn't want to be treated the same way as the short-sighted Zatanos.
"Just protect yourself."
Merlin said to Zakon:
"Your role is not here, and you will only have a place to use it when we return to this world."
"Uh, okay."
Zakang shrugged, then stepped forward and straddled Johnny's locomotive.
He clung to the burning skeleton, the scorching heat tingling him, but he didn't dare let go.
In this case, once it is left behind...
Merlin and Johnny weren't going to turn back to save him.
"Huh"
Merlin manipulated the demon's slender body and jumped to the back of Johnny's motorcycle, crouching there like a stone statue.
He threw out the crimson sash and tied Konstantin and Johnny together.
He looked at the plain in front of him, where countless ashes were scattered in the air under the pale light, and he looked at the heavy door at the end of the plain.
He said to Johnny:
"Let's go!"
"We... Go home! ”
"Boom"
A low, thunderous roar erupted from the engine of the skeleton locomotive.
The demonic locomotive that had been given life roared, spewing scorching flames from its exhaust pipe, like a beast hungry for revenge, unable to hold back its minions.
It has failed too many times on this path.
It longs to reach the end, to humiliate the demons who try to stand in its way.
At the moment when the prednisone brakes.
The black, embellished with countless steel limbs and demonic skulls, rushed out like an arrow off the string.
This time, it was carrying more than just its knights.
There are others.
Fellow travelers...
People who have friends can't fail!
"Wow"
A pale bolt of lightning lit up in the gloomy clouds over the Plains of Ashes, and a rain of scattered blood fell from the sky.
In the flickering light that illuminates the earth, the demons who have been crazy and have long been captured by the despair of this land also roar and rush out from all directions.
Their expressions contorted, they screamed, disgusting saliva falling from their sharp teeth.
There are also minions, and the minions that stick out are full of malice, and they want to crush the knight in front of him who will never admit defeat to death on this land.
Let the souls that still retain hope fall into the abyss of despair like them.
They want to kill him!
Because he did what they couldn't...
Hatred, humiliation, anger.
In the midst of this myriad of malicious embellishments, the entire Ash Plains was no longer quiet.
"Wow"
A magical shield was opened by Konstantin to help the Ghost Knight stop the rain of blood from falling from the sky, preventing him from being extinguished by the raindrops like he had done last night.
Johnny let out a maniacal laugh as well.
Zatanus gave him control of his body, but the madness of the vengeful spirit was also affecting him.
Like a mad knight, he increased the speed of the locomotive to the extreme, and he looked at the demons in front of him who stood in the way of the earth, and he did not ram them like Zatanos.
That slows down and encirclements.
"Huh"
Johnny twisted the handle, and the heavy locomotive turned into a Z-shaped streamer like the most agile snake at this moment, and narrowly avoided the demon in front of him.
The burning locomotive left a flaming scar on the ground, and its speed did not decrease at all.
The fooled demons were even more insane, roaring after the fleeing knights.
But in Johnny's nimble and thrilling maneuvers, the car keeps flashing over the demons that stand in the way.
A fire demon as tall as a mountain tore through the earth, holding aloft the greatsword of the door panel, roaring and slashing down at the Ghost Rider.
Squatting at the back of the locomotive, Merlin, who had not moved, stretched out his claws, and in the reverberation of magic like a giant beast swallowing water, the invisible "line" was thrown onto the flame demon.
With the flick of Merlin's fingers, it was as if the fire demon couldn't control himself at all.
The giant sword that was originally slashing at Johnny also changed direction as it fell, slashing at the demon chasing behind the three of them.
Terrifying flames erupted behind him, and the chasing demons were stopped, and the enraged demons rushed towards the out-of-control fire demon, gnawing away its scorching flesh in a matter of seconds.
The earth is crumbling.
Perhaps it was a hunch that these demons would never stop the knight tonight, and the ugly land began to join the crazy game.
"Boom"
The Doomsday Volcano above Hell's Gate erupts.
Millions of tons of magma are ejected into the air in seconds.
The cooled magma dragged a long tail flame and smashed down like a meteorite.
A meteorite slammed down on the front of the locomotive, and Johnny wanted to slow down, but Merlin's voice rang out at this moment:
"Keep going! Leave it to me! ”
"Huh"
The magic of the Elder Body unfolded, and the beating space spun rapidly like glittering glass, blocking everything around it.
Merlin waved his finger, and the black streamer shone in a ring of spells on his fingertips.
Between the dances of his hands, the black light was like a scythe of annihilation, tearing apart all the demons and monsters that burst out of the apocalyptic land in front of him.
In the midst of the ashes and flames, Johnny's demonic locomotive gets closer and closer to the gates of hell.
1000 meters.
700 meters.
400 meters.
100 meters.
50...
"Bang"
In a low roar, the terrifying demon that had stopped Johnny last night reappeared.
It is like a walking mountain of flesh, and the scorching flames burn on it.
This abyssal lord-like guy is definitely ordered to guard the gates of hell.
If you can't break through it, let alone rush out the door.
"Wow"
Merlin raised his head and poured all the metal munitions contained in the bottle in his hand into the possessed demonic body, and the terrible pain stirred.
But then comes the gravitational induction of the land.
"Keep going!"
Merlin roared, and he stood at the back of the locomotive, arms outstretched.
A terrifying gravitational pull spread out of his body.
In Merlin's manipulation, the ground beneath Johnny's feet seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand, lifted from beneath the ground, like a dragon raising its head underground.
Under Merlin's control, a ridge that rushes into the sky is shaped.
Johnny's locomotive was like a flowing light, running wildly all the way up the ridge, and finally crashing into the air in the collision of fire and blood.
Like an antelope flying across...
The demons roared, and everything collapsed.
Before their eyes, the gates of hell...
A stone's throw away!
