Hognes Leonid Ivanovich, a typical Russian, well, to be precise, a Russian born 270 years ago, the whole of Russia would have been under the rule of the Tsar, but the more surprising thing is that Hognes was actually a radical Bolshevik, yes, he had met Stalin before he fell asleep... There are very few people who are still alive as they are called "Davasili" by Comrade Steel, but there is one in front of them.

Just at the tip of the tail of the Middle Ages, the brilliance of magic and witchcraft has disappeared from the upper classes, but in remote areas, these ancient traditions still have a place, and Hognes was born in a small town on the border of Ukraine, in proper Eastern Europe, which has always been the hardest hit area of black magic.

His experience is too far away to be interesting here, but in short, after an unimaginable grind, Hognes has also gained powers that ordinary people simply cannot imagine, he became one of the elders of the wizarding world in the overall decline of all of Europe, and in the slumber that lasted into the 21st century, he was invited by the Supreme Mage to become a supernumerary force for Kama Taj.

In the past 200 years, the explosive growth of science and technology, this new era has made Hognis somewhat uncomfortable, but as a true mage who pursues the truth, he doesn't care if this era is good or bad, because his identity is decided, he and this era are destined to be separated, but he feels relieved that the inheritance of magic has not all been extinct, they have survived tenaciously in another way, and seem to live more nourishing than their predecessors.

"Book thief! Give back the precious tome that doesn't belong to you!"

Hognes's eyes were calm, as a man who had lived for nearly 300 years, and would continue to live for a long time, there was not much to arouse his curiosity, in his eyes, Constantine with the Book of Solomon was just a second-rate warlock, an ant-like fellow, it was not worth mentioning, but it was much better than Angela, because the old mage simply focused on Angela.

Just an ordinary person with a slight talent, inferior to dust.

"Occupy a power that should not be touched, and I should perhaps say that you are fearless in the ignorant..."

Hognis stepped forward step by step with his staff, pulled the brim of his hat dotted with stars, raised his left hand upward, and the Book of Solomon fell lightly in his hand, Constantine had completely given up resistance, the old guy in front of him was too strong, he was not an opponent at all, and Hognes glanced at Konstantin, who was close to a coma, and immediately frowned, and he detected the traces of the existence of Solomon's Mark from the magic around Konstantin at a glance.

This surprised the old mage, and the book of Solomon disappeared in his hand, and he touched his beard and said,

"Your talent is too vast and complex, and you have no system to speak of, but you can actually teach yourself the Seal of Solomon... Looks like I'm underestimating you. ”

"Ahem"

Konstantin leaned hard against the broken trunk, and his scarred face struggled to show a mocking smile,

"There's something called online translation in this era, old man, you've been abandoned by the times, you bastard. ”

"Hmph"

Hognes was born at a time when inheritance and etiquette were very important, and Konstantin's attitude obviously disliked him very much, and he turned around to leave, leaving these two guys who had broken into the dark events to fend for themselves... As he once said to Strange, no one who is associated with the dark events is innocent, and what happened to them can only be said to be self-inflicted.

But just as the old mage turned around, he saw Sim tear open the remnants of the dark sky and jump into the night, Hognis, a magic boss who has dealt with dark forces all his life, did not hesitate at all, waved his staff, and three flame spears that were sharper, hotter and stronger than before smashed towards Sim's head.

The reaction of the sub-lord of the berserk demon was also very fast, and he completed the demon transformation in an instant, his arms were wrapped with dark green energy, and with one punch, he directly smashed the two flame spears in front of him, but he was directly hit in the abdomen by the last spell, and the demon power shield outside the body was easily torn apart like a piece of paper, and the huge lizard-like divine body was pushed into the air by the huge flame energy, Hognis's eyes narrowed, and his fingers moved slightly.

"Boom"

The fire energy nailed to Sim's abdomen exploded like a bomb at this moment, tearing open a hideous wound in the abdomen of the berserker, Sim smashed to the ground in embarrassment, it turned its head and ran, the wound in the abdomen was healing rapidly, and it healed after 3 seconds of running, but it was clear that it was not the opponent of the fierce old monster in front of him, Hognness's fighting style reminded Sim of the exorcist who was rampaging the world hundreds of years ago.

It's not a half-person like Konstantin, but the kind of lone wanderer who is really hunting demons, and from the birth of hell to the present, one-third of the demon lords who have been killed have died directly in that crazy era.

It shouted frantically in the link of the soul,

"Cyber, the idea is prickly... Come help me!"

Cyber, who was sweeping away the damned transgressive creatures on the East Side of Manhattan, frowned, and whispered in the soul link,

"Why don't you just run back to hell on your own?"

Cyber reached out and pulled the flame knife from the heart of the Chaos Angel who was nailed to the wall in front of him, scorching blood splattered everywhere, and the half-blood angel who still had his last breath held the broken sword and tried to fight back, but his head was trampled on the ground by Cyber, and his brain burst.

"I'm now... A little busy!"

The long knife slashed back, and behind him the head of an angel who wanted to rush up and sneak attacked, not far away, the demonic Sergei was holding two alloy axes alof, slaughtering the low-level hybrids who had gathered together to try to resist, and the entire abandoned underground garage was like a slaughterhouse, made into a pot of porridge by these two violent guys and the gang with guns stained with holy water.

"I can't escape! This old monster has blocked the surrounding dimensions! This is a real witcher, they won't stop until they kill their target, come and save me!"

Cyber's brow furrowed even deeper, he took out his phone and dialed a number,

"Hey, Cyber, what's the matter with me at this time?"

Strange, who was leaning on the bed studying the magic tome, glanced at Palmer, who was asleep next to him, and walked to the balcony in his nightgown, whispering, "The demons are coming?"

"It's not... Come pick me up on the East Side of Manhattan, The Book of Solomon... Something may be wrong. ”

A moment later, at the door of the underground garage that exuded a special smell of blood, a well-dressed Strange came out of the portal, he frowned and looked at the Devil Gang who were moving the corpses out, looking at the corpses that had been killed to the point of indifference, he couldn't bear it, so he said to Cyber,

"There's no need to be so ruthless, right? I think they usually live like normal people, and they don't do anything wrong. ”

Cyber glanced at Strange in surprise and threw the cigarette butt in his hand at his feet.

"Are you stupid? Did I kill them because they were wrong? Do you think I look like a man of justice?"

"If it weren't for the strong expulsion order issued by the Ancient One to these mysterious creatures, would I have taken my men to run around all over New York without sleeping in the middle of the night? Look at my poor subordinates, killing these half-blood mongrels is numb. But..."

Cyber suddenly raised his head and said to Strange with a strange expression,

"If you really feel sorry for them, you can go to Kama Taj and your mentor to intercede for them, maybe the ancient one will let them go for your sake. ”

Strange shrugged his shoulders, waved his hand to open a teleportation rune, turned his head and said,

"When I didn't say... Anyway, where are you going?"

Cyber closed his eyes and communicated with Sim, who was getting weaker and weaker, for a moment, and when he opened his eyes, the ring of fire flashed in his eyes,

"In a park 23 miles southwest of Manhattan Bay!"

"It can't be that precise!"

Strange moved his fingers, and a flash of crimson portal appeared in front of the two of them, and he reached out and wiped his magic cloak, and said to Cyber, "The error is within 1-2 miles, let's go, get that book back sooner, and I can easily get down." ”

On the other side, suspended in the dark sky, Hognis's robe like a god is windless, and every time the staff in his hand is swung, it can cause a scorching storm of flames in its place, this magic flame is a very hateful thing for Sim, but it is not a flying demon, and there is no way to fight against the old mage suspended in the sky.

"There's still a demon lord walking here... It seems that the crack in the barrier mentioned by the ancient one is getting more and more serious. ”

Hognes's expression was serious, as one of the most powerful people in the group of magicians, he knew better than anyone the disastrous consequences of the collapse of the wall, but in this matter, no one could fight against the predetermined fate, even the ancient one could only choose the delaying tactic.

"Devil, by whose order did you come?"

The old mage got the sound and vibrated in this enclosed mirror space, and in his left hand was a scorching and terrifying firestorm core, as long as his mind moved, he could completely bury the secondary demon lord trapped in the flamestorm below, as a powerful mage, he also had more than one way to kill the demon's soul in this world.

But he needs more news, the recent chaos in New York has had very bad signs, Hognness, as an elder who has survived the craziest era, he knows the importance of intelligence better than anyone else, so for this, he doesn't mind sparing this demon's life, of course, just letting it live for a few more minutes.

"I was ordered by your father to come and grab your little brother and take it to dinner! You bastard, I told you everything, I am not an enemy of you, there is no grudge between us!"

After being pressed and beaten for more than ten minutes, Sim, who had been seriously injured, was full of anger, and the demons were short-tempered, for them, reason was a meaningless thing, and it didn't care about the difference between the two, and scolded loudly at Hognis in the sky,

"You old coffin whose brains have been eaten by zombies! You retarded mind who should have died in a woman's bed a long time ago! I'm not in league with them! You bad-eyed bastard, you see, I'm contracted, you really think I'm willing to be in this damn world? You idiot! Sewer rats! Disgusting maggots!"

"Enough, impudent demon! I'll drain your soul and slowly find out the truth! Now, let the world be quiet!"

Hognes' beard was blown up, he had had enough of Sim's foul language, and with a flip of his left hand, the core of the scorching firestorm that was about to ignite the air was thrown down, and under this blow, the rude demon had no chance of survival, how many years had not suffered such humiliation?

Thinking of Constantine before, Hognes suddenly felt that this stupid era was terrible, those good things had not been passed down at all, and the people of this era were simply no manners at all!

"you!"

Sim's eyes widened as he watched as the core of the devastating firestorm descended from the sky like a meteor, gesturing his middle finger viciously at Hognis.

But soon, Sim raised his head in confusion, watching the flames around the core of the firestorm above his head getting weaker and weaker, and when the thing smashed on the ground, the most powerful layer of magic flames was weakened by half, reaching the damage that Sim could fully bear, and the magic flames around him imprisoned it were also extinguished under this power, and the berserker laughed wildly, jumped up from the ground, swept his fists, and smashed with the meteor.

"Boom"

Hognes watched as his dimensional blockade was broken, Sim smugly gestured his middle finger at him in the storm of flame ashes, and then disappeared into the world with purple smoke, the Siberian Magical Lion felt humiliated again, and in his angry eyes, two figures walked out of the woods not far away, one after the other.

"Oops!"

When Strange saw the old mage in the sky, his face changed, and he couldn't help but whisper to Cyber, "It's a little troublesome, it's Master Hognes, I should have thought that only he could block the dimension so easily... You're in trouble. ”

"It's us!"

Cyber pointed at the two of them, then looked up at Hognes slowly falling from the sky,

"Who's that? Looks like an old immortal from 200 years ago. ”

"That's a very good old gentleman, and he has a very bad temper, and he is very old-fashioned, like a stone. ”

As Hognes walked towards the two of them angrily, Strange couldn't help but shrink his head, took a few steps back, and pointed at Cyber and shouted, "Cyber Hawke! How can you break into Master Hogness so easily! Even if you have a misunderstanding, you shouldn't ignore the majesty of your elders so much, quick... Apologies to the Master!"

After saying that, Doctor Strange glared at Cyber vigorously, and after a few days of getting along, he had roughly figured out Hognness's temper, but Cyber didn't seem to see it, so he poked in place, looking at the old mage walking towards them with interest...

"Hey, old man, why are you chasing my demon? Did it rob you of your lollipop?"
