Chapter XXXVIII
There is no doubt that El is now also walking in the ranks of superhumans, although the leap of the overall civilization is very powerful, but as a price, everyone in the overall civilization is just an ordinary part of it, and El longs for an extraordinary life.
The search for something beyond one's own kind is a long-standing genetic presence of human beings. One of the manifestations of human beings is the admiration for genius. Moreover, the leap of civilization as a whole can take so long that it can survive several generations of human beings, and the existence of each generation is only a foreshadowing of the next generation. No one will remember an ordinary mortal in a generation, and the name left in the history books is only a drop in the ocean of the entire human race, the proportion is as high as one in a million or even one in ten million.
So El chose to be extraordinary, which is not only his own choice, but also the persecution of current events. Same as El. Haas, the witcher, is also a man who is not willing to be ordinary. Drinking the strongest wine, slaying the worst devils, and becoming the most famous witcher is Haas's wish. It was precisely because of this burning ambition that Haas agreed to work with El to discover Mammon's secrets.
Mammon, the demon of wealth, is not an unknown minion, even compared to Mephisto, Mammon is even stronger. As fallen angels, the fallen angels have coveted the kingship of hell since the time of the Fall, and the indigenous hellish creatures under the leadership of Azazel have been deprived of many territories and powers. Mephisto and Lilith are the indigenous demons of hell. After experiencing the battle for royal power, Mephisto's strength was greatly reduced, and even his son Witch Heart Demon was eager to kill his father completely, which shows how powerful the fallen angels who defeated Mephisto in the first place. And Mammon is one of the best of them.
"I will help you trace Mammon's traces in the world, but I will not guarantee your life in case of danger." Haas was well aware of the power of a demon monarch, and even if crossing the world barrier would consume a lot of Mammon's energy, Mammon's remaining strength was not something he could match.
"You can only follow the trail, and if I die at the hands of the devil, the balance will be in the hands of Horrigan. The value of the original rune from Odin is sufficient. ”
"Is it a modern-day Odin?" Hearing the rune of Rune, Haas's eyes lit up, and there was nothing more in line with his heart. An original rune is worth much more than an Eagle King, and even Haas has the idea of killing El and then asking Horrigan for the final payment. But Haas also knew that since Elk dared to say it so blatantly, he was ready to turn his face.
Haas's murderous aura at that moment did not hide El's perception, but El also had a deep awareness of Haas's idea of killing people and taking treasures. Capable of standing out from the crowd of witchers, Haas is not a good man. A warrior has been insulated from the word good ever since he stepped into the path of killing.
"Are your weapons ready?" El asked, looking at Haas, who was carrying a large bag. A large part of the strength of witchers depends on their weapons.
"No problem. But your weapons? Haas looked at El with some confusion, he didn't want to take an idiot on the road.
"Take it with you." A cold weapon appeared out of thin air in El's hand, and the sharp blade and inscriptions on the weapon showed that it was extraordinary.
"It's a wizard, no wonder .........." Haas muttered under his mouth when he saw Erlu's hand, and at the same time put away the last bit of caution. Haas remembers seeing an old witcher bleeding to death after killing a wizard when he hunted demons again. Who knows if this wizard will carry a curse with him.
"Let's go." Haas threw the big bag into a modified SUV.
Haas has his own way of finding demons, and the wolf in the tattoo gives him not only the ferocity and toughness of a wolf, but also a keen sense of smell. Haas used this sense of smell to smell the breath of demons from hundreds of miles away. Haas and El traveled to the place where Mammon's traces had first been found.
It was a collapsed building, with a desiccated corpse lying next to a pit and a Nazi swastika flag next to it.
"People don't die for a long time, but the flesh and blood are sucked up, so they look like this." Haas went to the corpse and examined it carefully, hoping to find out something about it.
El, on the other hand, set his sights on the Nazi flag, which had long since disappeared, and even when Hitler was alive, the Nazi boots had not set foot on American soil. But there is a Nazi flag here, and it looks like it has been there for a long time. El thought of Hydra, an organization with deep Nazi roots.
"Someone left here with something and sucked up the flesh of nearby animals to regain their strength, and it's unclear if it's Mammon himself or one of his men." Haas surveyed the corpse and looked around.
"North, that guy went north." El continued.
"It's the United States."
"Chase!"
Haas and El immediately drove north, and on the way, Haas and El saw countless cattle and sheep lying dead on the road. But when they die, they leave a wide path in between.
"They don't even have time to sense before they die, but there's something peculiar about this death, unlike what demons do. Rather, like some angels. Haas explained to El.
"That means it may be Mammon himself, and Mammon is a fallen angel."
"No, it's different. Although it is called a fallen angel, in fact, many fallen angels have been deprived of all the qualifications to be angels, and all fallen angels are now demons. ”
"There is another possibility, and that is the role of some kind of holy object. Some of the holy relics are more powerful than the angels. ”
"Then we're in big trouble." Haas's color turned ugly after hearing El's speculation. Demon hunters can deal with demons, but for some holy relics, they simply can't parry.
The atmosphere in the carriage became solemn, and El realized that this time it might be more difficult than the last test. Last time, the black sky was a powerful demon who had been sealed for thousands of years and would not die, so this time it was really possible that it was Mammon himself.
Secretly ordered the shadow soldiers who followed behind him to retreat, essentially the shadow soldiers of the twisted human soul, which was nothing more than a tasty food for some archdemons; At the same time, El also ordered to deliver news to Baichan to the forces in the United States, and to keep Skaha on standby. Having slain the gods and being the master of Hades, Skaha can play the greatest role in the face of Mammon.
