Chapter 430: Ten Calamities
As the high priest's voice fell.
The [Black Sutra of the Undead] quickly flipped up, and powerful dark magic floated from the Black Sutra.
Immorton set his eyes on the Black Sutra and began to chant loudly.
"βThe undead rise up, sing the sun, praise you, aura, and ascend amazingly to you! Thou hast risen, thou hast shone, and thou hast made the heavens roll aside. You are the King of the gods, the Lord of all, from whom we came, and through whom we were made holy......"
"Ancient Egyptian?"
Hearing the chant from the mouth of the High Priest, Mephistopheles Demon made a frowning expression on his face, as a demon who has walked in the world for thousands of years, he is no stranger to human language, so it is easy to distinguish from the spell of [Immorton] that it is the language of ancient Egypt.
Of course, it was not only the ancient Egyptian spell chanted by the high priest that really made Mephistopheles pay attention, but also the powerful dark magic that emerged from the [Black Book of the Dead] along with the spell.
This magic is only powerful, and even Mephistopheles, who is a demon, can't help but be moved.
As the premier magic item in the "Mummy" series, the [Black Book of the Dead] has powerful dark mana.
Even far more than the other [Golden Sutra of the Sun] in the movie, although both of them also have the ability to bring people back from the dead, but the former can not only resurrect people as the dead, but also enable the resurrected to master powerful dark magic, while the other [Golden Sutra of the Sun] also has the power of resurrection, but because it is a normal resurrection relationship, it does not have the effect of giving the deceased powerful mana.
Although, judging from the effect of resurrection, the [Sun Golden Sutra] seems to be superior to the [Undead Black Sutra].
Because the [Undead Black Sutra] can have powerful mana, it is completely the price paid for abandoning normal human identity to have strong mana.
But if you really let people choose, I think that the vast majority of people will still choose the power of the [Black Sutra of the Undead].
Although the cost is huge, it is also a way to become stronger in the most rapid way.
Shaking his head, Johnny Blazer got up from the ground.
The High Priest's burst of power not only blocked the power of the [Eye of Judgment], but also knocked Johnny Blazer out of his Ghost Rider form.
He forced his somewhat drowsy head and looked in front of him, Mephistopheles' demonic stance made his expression a little solemn, but then his gaze was quickly drawn to the high priest suspended in mid-air.
"What's that sound?"
At this moment, the sound of rustling suddenly sounded in the distance in the sky, as if there were countless sounds of flapping wings breaking through the air.
Immediately after that, the overwhelming locusts covered the sky and flapped their wings.
"A plague of locusts?"
Seeing the overwhelming array of locusts with red eyes, Mephistopheles immediately remembered the description in the Ten Plagues of Egypt: "...... The locusts filled the earth, and even the earth was darkened, and they devoured all the herbs and the fruit of the trees that were left after the hailstorm......"
The plague of locusts recorded in the Ten Plagues did not attack humans, but the plague of locusts that was summoned by the High Priest through the [Black Book of the Dead] was obviously not the case.
With the power of the curse, each calamity causes far more damage than is described.
The [Scarab Mark] used by Chang Emir before was just one of the ten plagues in the [Black Book of the Dead], and it was also called the beetle plague.
Under the control of the High Priest, these locusts quickly formed a dense black mist and rushed towards Mephistopheles in front of them.
Click, click-
The locusts eat everything, not even hard stones can withstand their mouths for long, yet in the face of the terrible plague of locusts caused by these curses. Mephistopheles's expression didn't change in the slightest, he raised his arm, and a large amount of crimson energy immediately surged from his hand, and he raised his hand with a wave.
In the next moment, the overwhelming locust plague seemed to be attacked at the same time, and they fell to the ground one after another, turning into pitch-black smoke and dissipating.
"Nice trick, but it didn't work for me."
Easily destroying the plague of locusts summoned by the High Priest, Mephistopheles moved his steps, and his whole body began to change, turning his huge head to look down at the High Priest floating in mid-air, the demon opened his mouth and let out a deafening roar: "Not to mention the ten plagues, even the Lord himself cannot completely destroy me!" β
As the overlord of Hell, Mephistopheles has unimaginable magical powers, and its power comes from Hell and beyond.
Not even heaven itself can destroy it completely, only expel it.
In fact, in response to Mephistopheles, the demons who lured humans to fall and oversaw the sinful nature of humanity itself, Heaven created a group of beings called the Spirit of Vengeance and scattered them into the world. And these vengeful spirits are the source of Johnny Blazer's Ghost Rider's power, but Mephistopheles discovered this power and disguised it as a power from hell, deceiving Johnny Blazer into thinking that his power comes from demons, so as to drive Ghost Rider to his own use.
As for Mephistopheles's deception, Johnny Blazer, the ghost rider at this moment, is naturally unknown.
Looking at the powerful demon in front of him, Ghost Rider's heart wavered.
The demon's power made Johnny Blazer despair, and the more powerful Mephistopheles became, the slimmer his hopes of escaping the contract.
At the same time, Li Ran in the antique store also had a bad expression on his face.
Although he knew that there was a gap between [Immorton's] strength and Mephistopheles, he didn't expect the other party to show such a powerful power just by just a projection.
With the help of the locust curse cast by the Black Book of the Dead, Immorton was able to devour a city in an instant, but it only lasted less than a few seconds in front of Mephistopheles.
It seems that Mephistopheles' strength should belong to the A-rank character cards rated by the system, and even belong to the top existence in A-rank.
Based on the inference of the only A-rank character card monster [Gamera] in his hand, Li Ran estimated that Mephistopheles' apparent strength should also belong to this level. The reason why it was said on the surface was because Li Ran could not guarantee that this ancient and powerful demon had any hidden backhands other than the power he had shown.
Of course, judging from the battle in front of him, even if Mephistopheles doesn't have any backhand, it is not easy for the clone to get any advantage in the hands of the other party.
Although Li Ran's inner mood in the antique shop changed drastically, the high priest on the other side still did not show the slightest fear on the surface. As a doppelganger, he is not afraid of life and death, even if he is really destroyed by Mephistopheles, he will only hurt the Chang Emir who is now attached to him.
Of course, although he had prepared for the worst in his heart, if he could, Li Ran still didn't want the whole situation to end like this.
After all, the presence of Chang Emir was crucial to Li Ran's acquisition of the legend of Wakanda.
"Perhaps, I can ......"
In the antique shop, Li Ran frowned and thought about how to deal with the situation in front of him, and his eyes were quickly attracted by a card that had been placed for a long time in the system's inventory.
Speaking of which, although this card has not been in his hands for a short time, he has not really used the power of this card in the true sense.
β¦β¦
"If that's all you're capable of, then don't blame me for being rude."
Turning his massive head to the High Priest in front of him, Mephistopheles opened his mouth, the sulfur breath of hell erupting from his mouth.
A trace of greed flashed in its eyes, and it looked at the [Black Sutra of the Undead] in front of the high priest, stretched out its huge claws due to its transformation and grabbed towards the clone.
"You're killing yourself."
Although there was this obvious gap in strength, the high priest did not give up resistance because of this, he flipped the [Black Sutra of the Dead] in front of him and chanted the spell, and in the next moment, a large amount of dust emerged from the Black Sutra, and the ominous power on these dust emitted on Mephistopheles's huge palm, forming a pitch-black bubble sore, which continued to burst and burst, and each bubble sore burst with a miserable scream like a dead soul accompanied by a terrible painful curse.
"Bubble Sores!"
In a terrible scream, Mephistopheles stopped his outstretched arm, and he looked down at the dense and growing bubble sores on his arm, and the demon's face showed a look of pain.
The sores formed by the curse are rooted in the soul, and even Mephistopheles is not completely immune to this damage.
Seeing that the power of the Bubble Sore Plague curse successfully resisted Mephistopheles's movements, the high priest did not hesitate and continued to chant the [Black Sutra of the Dead] to summon more curses that fell on the demon's body.
A large amount of blood and water drowned the demons they faced, and then the endless darkness covered the opponent's eyes.
"Curse of the Bloodstream!"
"Curse of the Scourge of Darkness!"
The blood and darkness formed by the curse not only drowned and trapped Mephistopheles, but also carried a strong corrosive force, and under the erosion of these forces, Mephistopheles's huge body began to decay, and Senran's white bones were exposed, and they were swallowed and melted by the blood in a few seconds.
"Mephistopheles, dead?"
Witnessing Mephistopheles being dissolved by blood, Johnny Blazer's expression was complicated.
However, the High Priest's thoughts were not as simple as Johnny Blazer's, and he looked at the curse that dissipated in front of him, his expression still solemn as he chanted the incantation.
Under the power of the [Black Sutra of the Dead], a large amount of dust on the ground turned into fleas and began to beat wantonly to search.
"You've ruined the souls I've so hard to collect!"
Sure enough, under the search of these fleas, Mephistopheles's figure reappeared in front of the High Priest's eyes.
He was still dressed in a suit and still looked like a middle-aged man before, but the expression on his face was extremely gloomy: "This is a soul that I have obtained with great difficulty, and it should have been enjoyed in hell to enjoy endless torture to bring me pleasure." β
Transfiguration, Mephistopheles is a demon who plays with souls, through which he is able to withstand a large number of attacks and even curses.
Although he successfully circumvented the High Priest's curse through this power, Mephistopheles's inner mood was not good.
As he said, souls are very important treasures in Mephistopheles's eyes, especially special souls, which often require a lot of time for demons to sign contracts and bewitch them.
Crimson energy emerged from Mephistopheles's body, and a blinding red light appeared in his eyes as he looked at the High Priest.
At this moment, the power that erupted from Mephistopheles truly revealed the power of its Hell Dominion.
Under the erosion of these energies, the ground near the tavern began to take on a blazing heat, a heavy smell of sulfur began to waft around, and a faint red shadow began to appear in the air.
"What is this?"
Feeling the evil power around him, the hellfire on Johnny Blazer's body involuntarily began to surge.
Facing the layers of red shadows floating around him, the [Undead Black Sutra] in front of the high priest erupted with great power, turning into a pitch-black fog to envelop it, isolating the invasion of the red shadows. Although he successfully resisted the power of the red shadow, the high priest's expression was not optimistic, so the changes brought by the red shadow became more and more obvious around the dense fog.
"Sure enough, this environment is more suitable for me."
Using her power to transform her surroundings into something akin to hell, Mephistopheles stretched out her arm.
As a demon living in hell, most of his power is combined with hell, so in the human environment, although it will not make his projection power unable to be exerted, but it has obviously weakened to a certain extent, although the field of condensing evil power cannot really turn the world into hell, but it can also liberate Mephistopheles's suppressed power a little, and the power of its hell body can be put into the body more smoothly.
"It's a pity that I can't sustain a world like this for too long, otherwise it will attract the attention of some guys, so I can only solve it quickly."
Glancing at the surrounding environment with some regret, Mephistopheles shook his head, and in the next moment, the figure flickered and transformed into countless phantoms all over the field, in the high priest's sense, each phantom had a power that was not weaker than the previous demon that attacked him, and these Mephistopheles flashed all over the field, silently invading in the direction where the high priest was.
"I can't resist it!"
Feeling the oppression generated by Mephistopheles' every movement, the high priest under the protection of the [Black Book of the Dead] calmly made a judgment.
"It looks like we have to relinquish control of Emir Chang."
"No, I don't."
In the antique shop, Li Ran felt the will from the clone.
Shaking his head, he focused on the golden card in the system.
"Next, let's feel the power of the monster [Gamera]."
