Chapter 369: Retreat

It was a cold winter night. Jason remembers it very clearly. There is no fixed habitat for street children, and almost every night is a winter night. But that night was different.

It was very cold, and Jason's place to stay tonight had not yet landed. His place was occupied by a group of homeless men. They allowed him to stay, but Jason sensed something bad in their eyes. He escaped and wandered the streets alone.

Snowflakes began to fall in the sky, and all the nearby places where they could live were already owners. Jason wanted to find shelter in the woods of the park. He didn't eat dinner, and the chill on his body was biting. He knew that if he couldn't find a place to drink warmly, the sanitation workers would have to clean up his body tomorrow morning.

The reality is cruel, as if Heaven is going against him. The woods that originally seemed to be dense could not find a shelter from the wind. Even in the woods, Jason felt the cold wind coming in his way. Jason was a little desperate. He curled up under a large tree, shielding himself with a few old newspapers. But the chill continued to seep into his body, and soon his will was blurred. Just before he was completely unconscious, he vaguely saw a figure walking up to him.

That was the moment he met his teacher. From that night on, Jason's life entered a whole new moment. He doesn't need to worry about any food, accommodation. No more of those homeless people looked at him with strange eyes. He had new clothes and a lot of friends. And all of them, they only need to work for one thing, magic.

Magic, what a magic word. In Jason's memory, his father used to tell stories about magic at his bedside. That's a magical power. There are many things that can be done that only exist in the imagination. But such a magical power appeared in his world like that. Whenever he recalls the moment he saw his teacher, Jason is grateful for the arrangement of fate.

Jason's wandering career has always made him cautious and not good at words. He doesn't know how to please people. He thanked his teacher for giving him a second chance, but he didn't know how to express his feelings. He knew that the teacher wanted to be able to become stronger. So he practiced magic desperately, which was a way for him to express his gratitude to his teacher.

Jason remembers every lesson, every sentence the teacher taught. Including the theory of quantum mechanics that I once told him. Since then, he has had the idea that he wants to develop a magic that freezes time. Because the teacher seems to be interested in it. Jason didn't tell anyone, he just studied it silently by himself. Later, some of his direct mages also got involved. He knew his spells weren't perfect. I don't have the ability to use it completely. So let his subordinates rehearse a set of combo attack patterns with him.

The enemy in front of him is Mephisto. From seventy years ago, the teacher once emphasized the Lord of Hell, the great enemy of the Council. If only I could kill it. The teacher will be very happy. Thinking of this, Jason didn't hesitate to use it, the spell that had not yet been finally perfected and consumed a huge amount. He wants to be able to do more for his teachers.

The spell nearly drained his life, and it didn't seem to kill Mephisto in the end. Jason's blurred vision saw Mephisto break free.

"It's a pity, it's still a little bit worse." Jason couldn't support it anymore, and his body slowly fell to the ground. But instead of falling to the ground, he felt a hand catch him.

"Well done Jason, I'll take care of the rest. You can rest first. ”

"It's the teacher, he said I did a good job......" was the last thought that flashed through Jason's vague mind.

"Send him back, keep him in shape, inform Jiaying, let her go back to save people first." Lin Xuan casually opened a portal and handed Jason to several members of the council.

Mephisto was in no hurry to leave. It looks like it's using some kind of one-time prop to forcibly bridge the gap between earth and hell. In this case, of course, you should use as much time as possible. The mages' move of dimensional cutting failed to hurt it in the end. The power of those magicians, it is still a little too reluctant to manipulate this spell.

"You've done a good job, step aside. I'll leave it to me next. Lin Xuan withdrew Jason's subordinates, and with Carter, they faced Mephisto.

"You two dare to appear in front of me." For Lin Xuan and Carter, Mephisto definitely hated them. The story of his own evil spirit police who rebelled against him and ran away with a human mage spread throughout the multiverse. Mephisto's old face was gone. So much so that the later soldiers never had a chance to get out of the clutches of the old devil. As soon as this thought arose, it was torn apart by Mephisto. The current third-generation combat policeman, Johnny Blazer, simply does not have a will of his own. Just a puppet using Hellfire.

"For a boss who doesn't pay salaries, I don't think that employee can stand it. Carter is in the parliament with tens of millions of dollars in dividends every year. As far as I know, you haven't paid a penny. ”

“...... I didn't know that the legendary Speaker of the Magic Council was a man of his tongue. ”

"It's really not interesting, and you have to see the real thing in your hands anyway. It's just that your time seems to be running out. ”

"It's enough to clean you up." As soon as the words fell, the three of them started at the same time.

I saw that the hellfire ignited on Carter's body again, and at the same time, the chains on his body were thrown out.

The demonic chains that burned with hellfire stretched hundreds of meters long. It was wrapped directly around Mephisto's neck. At the same time, Lin Xuan's right hand flashed with red lightning. In the middle of the electric light, there is a silver-white metal ball spinning at high speed.

An opponent of Mephisto's level is worth Lin Xuan's use of these few consumable props.

Mephisto sensed a sense of crisis that penetrated deep into his soul. It didn't know what that silver ball of metal was. But his instinct told him it was enough to kill him. With a roar, Mephisto regained all his strength, ready to concentrate on stopping the blow. But Carter's chains flew back in again, like kraft candy, stalking.

Mephisto was full of helplessness, and Carter, who had completely mastered the ability of hellfire, was already fully capable of causing harassment to Mephisto. Mephisto is an old monster who has lived for countless years, so naturally he will not fight Lin Xuan here.

He glanced at Lin Xuan deeply, and his body slowly faded towards the hell space behind him. Mephisto tried to escape.
