Chapter 424: Demon Resurgence
If Eric was defeated by Knell because he was completely defenseless, then Diana's repulsion move is a bit unbelievable.
You must know that Wonder Woman has the divine power bestowed by the gods of Olympus, and even if the missile hits directly, it may not be impossible to carry it. At this time, Deathstroke slashed the woman who rushed forward through the wall with just a sword, and fell into the courtyard outside in embarrassment.
In fact, when this sword fell, even Death Knell himself was startled. One man against an army? Take on some super difficult tasks that other mercenaries dare not take? It's all a small case for him. But head-on Wonder Woman? In the past, even if it was ten of them together, there was no chance of winning. To deal with a boss of Wonder Woman's level, generally speaking, he can only outwit this way with superb strategic thinking.
And today, he really repelled the woman with his strength, which made him himself can't help but be surprised, and at the same time, he didn't dare to underestimate the power of the divine sword in his hand. It seems that the old man Hephaestus really didn't fool him, and this thing might really be able to cut the god off the sword.
However, Knell did not swell to the idea of staying and trying the power of Excalibur again, and when he repelled Wonder Woman, he immediately picked up the ancient gravel that fell to the ground, and with a swing of the sword, the domineering golden sword qi instantly blew a wall on the other side to pieces. Poor Mr. Martin Nathaniel only watched him swagger away, not daring to let out his breath, let alone to stop him.
"Boom!"
Dressed in armor, Eric smashed his head through the ceiling and rushed to the top of the mansion, looking around for the trace of Knell, but in an instant, Zhou Za was completely gone.
"Teleportation magic." Diana also flew up and said, "It seems that Deathstroke has some extraordinary help." โ
"What about the sword?"
"I don't know." "It's so powerful, I've almost never seen a weapon unleash such energy." As far as I know, only one person might be able to build such a weapon......"
After a pause, she frowned and said, "But why would he make weapons for Deathstroke?" โ
Eric understood who she was referring to. Hephaestus, the god of fire in Greek mythology, was also the god of forging. Diana's armor and the sword that can split atoms are all his works.
But as Diana said - how did this Olympus Vulcan get mixed with the death knell?
It seems that the last two pieces must have fallen into the hands of Deathstroke, but they have no time to continue chasing Deathstroke, because the twenty-four-hour time limit is very close. They had no choice but to return to Paradise Island to meet Faust first.
If it were normal, it would be taboo for the Amazons to bring men to the island, but now that even the paradise island itself is on the verge of extinction, so there are so many rules that can not be cared about. The two got up directly from Los Angeles, flew across the ocean, and went straight to Paradise Island.
This was Eric's first landing on Paradise Island. Although he knew that there was such an island and had seen it in the comics, he had to sigh at the charm of this paradise only when he was there. It's a pity that at this moment it has fallen into the hands of an unknown adversary, and its vitality is no longer there, and the whole island seems to be asleep, filled with a dead air.
Back on the island, the magic dial was back to work, guiding the two in the direction of its owner. They walked through the jungle and found the cave in the deepest part of the forest. Diana couldn't help but be secretly surprisedโafter living on the island for so many years, she had never discovered this cave.
After a little passage into the cave, the two found Faust in the bottom cave. The black-robed scholar was still hovering cross-legged from the ground, and behind him was the dark red door wrapped in iron chains.
Diana couldn't help but be surprised, instinctively realizing that there might be something extraordinary behind the door.
Sensing the two of them returning, Faust opened his eyelids: "Did you bring something back, princess?" โ
Diana took out the only piece of fragment and threw it at Faust.
Faust took it, glanced at it, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Is this the only one?" What about the other two? โ
"Before you do that, tell me what's behind the door." Diana asked, "What you want is the key to open this door, isn't it?" โ
Faust snorted, "You have no other choice, princess. Have you forgotten? These sisters of yours are under my control. As soon as you give me the other two pieces, I promise to lift the curse and restore them all. โ
"I didn't." Diana simply admitted, "Something went wrong, something was snatched away by someone else." โ
"What!?" Faust's face changed, and he said angrily, "You have not kept your promise, do you still expect these sisters of yours to be saved?" โ
"I'm going to fight for them." Diana said coldly, already ready to fight.
And just as the two sides were tense and ready to fight, something in the darkness flew into the arena in a graceful arc and rolled down to Faust's feet. Faust looked down and was pleasantly surprised to see that these were the other two key fragments that had been put together.
Several people turned around in surprise, only to see that Death Knell had appeared here at some point, and the key fragment was obviously thrown by him.
"Deathknell!?" Diana was surprised, "Why?" โ
"If I knew that you robbed that thing for the same purpose as me, I would have saved the trouble and robbed it with you." Deathstroke said coldly, "That wizard over there, don't talk nonsense, if you have anything to do, hurry up for Lao Tzu." โ
Faust glanced at him, and though he was suspicious, he did not hesitate.
Once you have successfully opened this door and released the adult, there is nothing to fear in this world!
Thinking of this, he should even put the last piece together. Together, these three strangely shaped stones finally look like a key. Faust whispered a spell, and the lilac magic enveloped the key, dragging it into the air and stuffing it into the groove of the giant door
With a heavy whirling sound, the gate was finally activated. The iron chains wrapped around its body were broken into countless pieces and fell to the ground with a "bang". The heavy door moved open inch by inch, and a whirlwind with hellish temperatures swept out of the crack in the door, suffocating everyone present.
A burly figure appeared behind the door, a pitch-black body with eyes glowing blue and a cloak dancing in the hot wind. He opened his claws and released white heat all over his body, and the aura of his appearance enveloped the entire cave, making everyone involuntarily stunned in front of him.
Faust knelt respectfully: "Welcome back to the world, great - Lapitus!" โ
