Chapter 26: Is This Fucking Guy Really Human?
In the center of the dance floor.
An inhumanly burly figure suddenly exerted force, snapping another ordinary human in half before stuffing them into its mouth and swallowing them in two crunches.
As the thick stench of blood filled the air, the other demons lurking in various parts of the bar also began to move.
One after another, as if organized and disciplined, they surrounded the ordinary people in the bar.
Not only that, but some demons used magic to charm these ordinary people, causing them to commit suicide and offer themselves to the demons.
Facing these well-prepared demons, the people panicked, like lambs to the slaughter.
"Ah! Help!!"
"They're not human, they're..."
Soon, cold corpses littered the entire hall, and a heavy, rust-like stench of blood filled the air, slowly spreading as the blood flowed.
Looking at this scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, Lynn remained expressionless. He pulled the flowing fire blade out of his system inventory and swung it suddenly, a golden holy flame instantly flaring up from the blade.
The holy light pulsed as if breathing, flowing like water and dispersing the monsters and demons in all directions.
"So now, it's time for me to make my entrance—"
Before he could finish his sentence, a spotlight shone on another spot in the hall.
Under the light, a blue-haired girl stood there, her deep purple clothing giving off a cold aura.
The girl had delicate features, pale skin, and a strange red gem on her forehead.
Feeling the glares of all the covetous demons, a glimmer flashed in the blue-haired girl's azure eyes.
"Hell demons? Now, it's time for me to make my entrance."
Lynn: "..."
Who the hell are you, stealing my lines like that?
...
Inside the dim bar, multicolored neon lights flashed chaotically, illuminating the corpses lying in pools of blood, as well as human fragments.
The restless music was like a battle hymn, exciting the burly demons.
Their faces were hideous, their mouths stretching from ear to ear as they rushed toward the blue-haired girl with sinister grins.
Seeing that the blue-haired girl was about to steal all his kills, Lynn immediately drew his flowing fire blade and rushed forward.
"Hey, woman! Don't steal my kills!"
Raven was just about to cast her magic when she saw a man wearing a bear headpiece, clad in iron armor, and holding a longsword rushing over.
Raven: "..."
Is this some new species of demon?
"Hey, here's another human seeking death!"
"Eat him!!"
The demons roared, baring their fangs and sharp claws as they lunged at this death-seeking human.
A Minotaur Demon over three meters tall, with bulging muscles and a powerful aura, was the first to charge in front of Lynn.
Lynn gripped the flowing fire blade tightly in his right hand and swung it fiercely.
"What gibberish are you spouting? Take my sword!"
Swish!!
A cold gleam flashed suddenly.
The Minotaur Demon's face instantly went pale as he squeezed his legs tightly together.
His bull eyes widened in a death stare, looking at the man in front of him with utter disbelief.
Who the hell fights a demon by aiming down there first?
"You... you fucking..."
Lynn swung his sword again, the sword light whistling as it severed the rest of his limbs, leaving only the Minotaur Demon's torso to crash onto the ground.
"If you have something to say, sit down and talk it out. Getting physical is so uncivilized."
Seeing this, Raven, who was about to make her move, froze, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
You've literally sliced him into a demonic stump, and you call that sitting down and talking it out?
Not only her, but the ferocious demons were also stunned.
Seeing the Minotaur Demon instantly sliced into a demonic stump, their faces were filled with disbelief and horror.
After all, as hell demons, they mastered dark magic and could continuously heal their wounds. Their physical strength was outstanding even among evil creatures.
Some of them could even compete in physical strength with that handsome guy in neighboring Metropolis.
Ordinary human weapons had absolutely no effect on them.
But now, what were they seeing?
A man wearing a bear headpiece and ordinary iron armor, holding a flaming sword, had sliced the Minotaur Demoninto a demonic stump!
Even his "stick" down there had been chopped off. How cruel was that?!
"OMG, I recognize him! He's the Bat Gang member wanted by the police, the Tyrannosaurus God of War!"
A Bat Demon's eyes widened as it stared intently at Lynnstanding next to the Minotaur Demon, crying out in shock.
"A Bat Gang member? But the sword in his hand looks like a weapon of those Angels..."
"I can feel a powerful flame burning on that sword. This flame stings my soul, almost burning me to ashes... It's holy fire!"
The other demons also stared intently at Lynn and the flowing fire blade in his hand.
"But I don't feel any magic fluctuations. It seems he's only able to do this because of that sword," one demon analyzed.
Hearing this, the other demons finally calmed down and sized Lynn up carefully.
"Indeed, there are no magic fluctuations. He's just an ordinary human!"
The Bat Demon grinned disdainfully.
"A mere human thinks he can take down us hell demons just because he's holding an Angel's weapon?"
Compared to these weak humans, they, the demons, were much stronger.
Even if the opponent had an Angel's weapon that could harm them, as long as they avoided the sword, they could easily take him down!
"Attack together! He can't kill us all before the holy fire runs out!"
The muscles of the demons bulged. Stomping the ground, they lunged fiercely at Lynn like beasts, whistling through the air.
[Feast Stacks: 2]
Lynn grabbed the Minotaur Demon, who had been sliced into a demonic stump, and instantly refined him.
Immediately after, he bent his elbow with the sword in his right hand, while a basketball appeared out of thin air in his left hand. At the same time, two phantoms appeared behind him.
One was tall and burly, a Black man, while the other had a middle-part hairstyle, wore overalls, and was a real man.
Laoda Martial Soul, Jige Martial Soul, lend me your strength!
Almost instantly, the powerful roars of men and a certain rhythmic music echoed one after another in the hall.
Lynn without the slightest hesitation, executed the Iron Mountain Lean while also viciously elbow-striking the demons.
The flowing fire blade in his hand rapidly tore through the air, letting out sharp shrieks as every strike accurately sliced into the lower bodies of these demons.
As a veteran player, Lynn naturally wanted to maximize the yields from this wave of mobs.
Thus, he targeted the vital areas of these demons first, waiting for them to enter a stiffened state before using his sword to chop off their limbs.
Such a fierce slaughter immediately drew the rest of the demons to charge forward as well.
But gradually, some demons realized that something was wrong.
How is this human... so good at fighting?
Not only could the elbow-striking Black phantom and the phantom of the man performing the Iron Mountain Leanbehind him inflict substantial damage on them,
but even after he had personally chopped off all five limbs of over a dozen demons, he still had the energy to keep going.
Is this guy really fucking human?
Chapter 27: Temporary Teammate, Raven
The thick smell of blood spread through the air like flowing water, and then, like a playful child, suddenly slipped into the nostrils of the demons.
This pungent odor instantly triggered the demons' ferocity, letting the horns on their heads do the thinking instead of their brains, driving them to continue charging forward.
Lynn grabbed those demon sticks whose health had dropped to 20% and used Feast to devour them.
[Feast Stacks: 14]
[Cooldown: 2 hours (Currently devoured too many extraordinary creatures, requiring time to digest. Continuing to devour poses a risk of body explosion.)]
The moment he devoured these demons, Lynn felt as if his body was undergoing some kind of evolution.
Muscles were growing, bones were strengthening, and his head was getting sharper.
His strength, agility, and the speed of his thoughts all began to increase significantly.
"Hiss... I feel wisdom..." Lynn had a comfortable expression on his face. "My world-shaking wisdom!"
"Die! You damned human!!"
The bat demon hiding at the very back chanted a spell, and a ball of raging, scarlet demonic flame suddenly erupted from its dark, hideous claws, blasting fiercely toward Lynn.
However, in the next second—
Lynn simply waved his hand casually, swatting the dark demonic flame away into a corner.
The bat demon: "..."
This guy... is he really just a human?
To be clear, his demonic flame was hellfire summoned from hell using black magic.
Once ordinary people or even exorcists were touched by it, their souls would instantly be burned to ashes.
Yet the guy in front of him had just casually swatted his hellfire away with a wave of his hand.
Could this really not be a demon wearing human skin?
"Battle, feels great!"
With a grin on his face, Lynn gripped the flowing fire bladein his hand and rushed toward the remaining demons.
Seeing this excited human, the remaining demons felt their scalps go numb. Their expressions changed wildly, and they immediately turned to flee.
"Fuck! Holy shit! Don't you fucking come over here!!"
Whoosh!!
But before they could even run a few meters, a sharp, violent screech suddenly rang out.
Immediately following that, a sword qi composed of golden holy flames instantly tore through the air currents and slashed across their bodies.
Pfft!!
Arms and thighs snapped off simultaneously, and stinking, dark blood splattered all over the ground.
[Since you have killed enough evil creatures, the flowing fire blade has officially begun its Ascent to Divinity. In its current stage, it can unleash Holy Fire Sword Qi.]
[Remark: The sharpness of ten thousand blades, the fury of ten thousand feet of flames, surge within my heart.]
Lynn strode forward, pointing his sword at the shivering demons on the ground who were wrapped in golden holy flames.
"It's a pity Feast is still on cooldown, otherwise I could have a Feast right now," he thought to himself.
Although there were several demons with health below 20% in front of him, his Feast was still on cooldown.
After thinking it over, Lynn came up with a great idea: to take these demons with him and wait for Feast's cooldown to end.
With this in mind, he immediately grabbed a demon, intending to store it in his system inventory.
[This item cannot be placed in the system inventory.]
"Tsk, why can't the system inventory hold these demons? They're clearly loot that I won," Lynn couldn't help but complain in his heart.
[You can purchase the inventory function to store living creatures in the system mall later.]
"The system mall... Unfortunately, I'm still several levels away," Lynn shook his head in his heart.
The system mall would only open at Level 10, and he was still several levels short. However, this also made him more curious about what was inside the system mall.
Just then, from the corner of his eye, Lynn suddenly caught sight of the blue-haired girl beside him.
As a magician, she should know alternate dimension space magic, right?
Thinking this, he quickly stepped forward and asked:
"Can you use alternate dimension magic to pack up these demons?"
Hearing this, Raven's deep blue eyes flashed with a hint of confusion as she asked:
"I can, but are you going to use them to refine magic items? Or to brew some kind of potion, or perhaps conduct some kind of ritual?"
Lynn shook his head. "No, these demons are saved for me to eat with my meals."
Raven: "..."
This was the first time she had ever met an exorcist who ate demons.
Raven raised her delicate eyebrows slightly and asked curiously, "Are you an exorcist here?"
Lynn nodded:
"That's right, I am the exorcist here. You can call me... John Constantine."
When away from home, one's identity is self-given. Anyway, since he said he was Constantine, no one would object.
"Constantine?"
Hearing this, Raven's expression suddenly became a bit strange.
Her deep blue eyes swept over Lynn, then looked at the group of demon sticks behind him, thinking of Laoda and Jige, feeling a burst of absurdity in her heart.
Since when did Constantine have this kind of bizarre stuff?
"Just tell me if you can use alternate dimension magic to help me take these demons away."
Lynn spoke again. He planned to head to the next location to get more demons and boost his attributes.
"I can help you carry them, but our destinations should be different, right?"
Raven knitted her delicate brows slightly and replied.
"I'm looking for a demon named Belur."
The reason she came to the mortal realm from the spirit realm this time was because she heard that a grand demon was planning to build a branch of Hell here in Gotham, which might cause Trigon to awaken because of it.
So, for the sake of 'filial piety', she specially came to Earth, planning to stop this matter and keep her father pinned down inside the sealing crystal.
"What a coincidence, I'm also looking for a demon named Belur," Lynn said, somewhat surprised.
Raven asked curiously, "Then do you know where he is?"
"I don't know," Lynn shook his head. "But Batman knows. He gave me several locations, maybe one of them is Belur's lair."
Raven nodded, then turned her head to look at the demons lying on the ground, continuously burning under the golden holy flames.
"Rachel Roth," she suddenly introduced herself.
Immediately after, Lynn saw her deep blue eyes gradually turn crimson, while the ruby on her forehead also began to emit a brilliant glow.
"Hiss, no wonder so many people like the Sharingan."
Lynn stroked his chin with his right hand. He also wanted red eyes or some other colored contact lenses, or even a tattoo with special abilities; he wasn't picky anyway.
Rachel banished these demons into her own alternate dimension space, and then raised her head to look at Lynn.
She saw Lynn staring intently at the gem on her forehead, his face full of curiosity.
"Is this the magic item you use to cast alternate dimension magic?" Lynn asked.
Rachel nodded.
"Yes, my ability to cast alternate dimension magic is largely related to this gem."
But the main reason is still related to my bloodline.
She did not tell Lynn this part.
Hearing Rachel's words, Lynn kept sizing up the gem on the girl's forehead, a gleam flashing in his eyes.
If he were to just take this gem off and then use an Oblivious Potion on Rachel, would he be able to claim this gem as his own?
"However, this gem seals my bloodline as well as a demon of the Hell Lord level," Rachel added.
Hearing this, Lynn's eyes instantly lit up.
"That great? There's an item and even a final boss?"
Rachel:???
Is there something wrong with this guy's head?
This gem not only sealed her demonic bloodline, but also sealed her father, Trigon.
If the gem were damaged, not only would Trigon break the seal and appear in the mortal realm again, but even she would fall because of her demonic bloodline.
[Do you want to invite Raven Rachel Roth to join your party?]
Lynn frowned.
"If I invite her to be my teammate, wouldn't that mean I can't openly scheme against her anymore?"
[Completing missions in a party yields richer rewards.]
Lynn put away the flowing fire blade and asked:
"Since both of us are looking for that demon named Belur, why don't we team up, eliminate those demons, and then go find Belur?"
Rachel thought for a moment, then nodded:
"Alright. Since our goals are the same, let's temporarily team up to eliminate those demons and stop Trigon from resurrecting."
[NPC Rachel Roth has joined your party.]
Chapter 28: A Cruel Angel?
Over the next few days, Lynn and Rachel continuously cleared out demons from various locations throughout Gotham City.
After killing hundreds of demons, there was still no sign of Belur.
Finally, they had cleared out all the locations except for the last one—the manor at 1247 Enstrum Street.
Perhaps that place was Belur's lair.
In the thick night, the fiery light of explosions flashed like fireworks, almost illuminating half the street.
Rumble!!
A roar of explosions suddenly echoed.
"What's that noise?"
Lynn turned his head to look in the direction of the explosion and saw two men rushing toward them in a panic among the rows of neon signs.
Rachel also looked over at the sound, seeing that one of the men looked slightly weathered, dressed meticulously in a black suit, with an exhausted expression.
The other man wore a beige suit with messy blonde hair and had a cigarette hanging from his mouth.
Almost the moment she saw that man, Rachel's expression became peculiar, while she kept glancing sideways at Lynnout of the corner of her eye.
Now, the fake Constantine had met the real Constantine.
...
"Didn't you say there was no problem? Why did my taxi explode?!"
Chas ran forward desperately, gasping for breath as he questioned his old friend beside him.
"Who could have known that those damned demons would directly blow up our car?"
Constantine wore a distressed look; it was his first time suffering such a huge setback at the hands of demons.
"I always feel that that damned demon is somewhat like an old rival I once encountered. I have this intuition!"
"Then you'd better hurry up and think of something! I don't want to be eaten by these demons before I even save Trish." Chas ran while looking back.
On the street flashing with neon lights, hundreds of ferocious and terrifying little demons covered in barbs, their eyes blooming with scarlet bloodthirsty light, rushed toward them crazily on all fours.
The roars and howls erupting from their mouths were even more vicious than dogs with rabies.
"Damn it..."
Seeing the crazy pursuit of hundreds of little demons behind him, Constantine's expression sank, and his right hand reached into his bosom.
"Looks like I have no choice but to use my items!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a figure suddenly leap over him and Chas, charging directly into those hundreds of little demons.
Seeing this, Constantine's expression changed drastically.
"Run, those are all—"
Before he could finish speaking, he saw that person wearing iron armor and a bear hood raise an elbow, fiercely elbowing away a little demon rushing forward.
Following closely, a tall and strong black phantom appeared behind the opponent, similarly raising its elbow and smashing toward those little demons, and earth-shaking angry roars instantly resounded.
"Man!"
Constantine was instantly stunned, looking in utter bewilderment at the man who had charged into the little demons.
The opponent held a sword in his right hand, continuously elbowing while also wielding that longsword burning with golden holy flames to slash at the demons' limbs.
At his left hand, a basketball inexplicably appeared out of thin air; every time he dribbled it, his body would lean to the left, fiercely leaning into and sending a little demon flying.
Behind him, besides that black phantom, there was also the phantom of a man wearing strap-overalls continuously executing the Iron Mountain Lean.
Chas, who also saw this scene, widened his eyes in utter disbelief.
"What the fuck! How can there be such a divine person in this World?"
As Lynn raised and dropped his sword, several little demons were chopped into pieces, leaving only their torsos to fall to the ground, continuously scorched by the golden holy flames.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
A cold glare flashed instantly, and immediately three little demons were trimmed into demon sticks.
Seeing this, Constantine's face was filled with shock and astonishment.
"What a fast sword. His sword... seems to faintly possess the power of Heaven."
"Of course, this is an Angel's sword." Lynn replied.
"Then you must be an Angel?"
Chas, standing to the side, chimed in, but then scratched his head and asked with a puzzled face:
"But what Angel would have a black phantom and the phantom of a man wearing strap-overalls behind him?"
"Not sure." Constantine shook his head, his gaze locked tightly on the flowing fire blade in Lynn's hand.
He could sense that this sword possessed holy power beyond his imagination. If he scammed this sword...
Ahem, how could an exorcist's business be called scamming?
Constantine's thoughts were unknown to Lynn, who was currently immersed in the state of battle exhilaration.
Two little demons with ferocious expressions suddenly pounced from behind him.
However, the Laoda Martial Soul raised its elbow, let out a roar, and smashed down fiercely.
"Man!"
Bones shattered, blood splattered everywhere.
The smell of blood stimulated the ferocity of this group of little demons; almost instantly, demons pounced from all directions.
The Jige Martial Soul continuously executed the Iron Mountain Lean, sending these little demons flying while mysterious music played, making these little demons dizzy and disoriented.
"You approaching me make me so restless..."
This music was simply too brainwashing, so much that Lynn, who kept swinging his sword and slamming his elbows, couldn't help humming along softly.
Just like that, holding the flowing fire blade in his hand, he slaughtered his way from the south of the street to the north without even blinking an eye.
With a wave of the longsword in his hand, the lower body of a little demon would be cut off, accompanied by shrill screams.
Soon, the entire street was filled with the severed limbs of demons, thick foul blood, and... the little demons trimmed into demon sticks.
Gulp!
Seeing this scene, Constantine couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
This guy rushed in front of those little demons, and instead of piercing their hearts with a sword first, he cut off their lower bodies first, and then chopped off their limbs.
When did Heaven get such a brutally cruel ball-cutting Angel?
If he scammed the other party's sword, could his little buddy still be saved?
Just at this moment, the blue system quest prompt appeared before Lynn's eyes once again.
[Main Quest "City of Demons" completed.]
[Rating: S]
[Rewards received: EXP +30, Gotham reputation +30, Character Card Dio Brando (from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure), 100,000 U.S. dollars]
Seeing the name on the character card, Lynn's furrowed brow slowly smoothed out, and a surprised and delighted expression surged on his face.
"Time stop and Vampire... Hiss, this reward is a huge profit." He thought to himself.
On the neon-lit street, Lynn put away the flowing fire blade and said to Raven:
"Put them all away."
Rachel Roth stepped forward, her beautiful eyes gazing at the little demons covering the ground before her.
Among these little demons, quite a few were burned to death by the golden holy flames.
Even so, the number of surviving demon sticks still reached a terrifying eighty-plus.
Rachel raised her eyes, a hint of scarlet condensing in them once again. At the same time, the ruby on her forehead suddenly emitted a warm, bright light.
The red light illuminated these demon sticks, directly transferring them into an alternate dimension space.
Seeing Rachel put away these little demons, Lynn walked reassuringly in front of Constantine and Chas.
"Why are you being hunted down by these little demons?"
Constantine took a deep breath and spoke the truth with a solemn expression:
"I am an exorcist, and this is my friend Chas.
His daughter's soul has been imprisoned by an arch-demon named Belur, and the two of us came to Gothamjust to find him."
Hearing this, Lynn nodded.
Belur again. This arch-demon has been quite arrogant lately, actually provoking so many people on the Gothammap. Could he be another boss?
Chapter 29 Constantine: You are called Constantine, then who am I?
Torrential rain was pattering down, and the dense raindrops merged into a curtain of rain, shrouding the city in a hazy mist of Water.
Beneath the rain curtain, inside a roadside convenience store, Lynn sat at a table, raising his eyes to gaze at Chasand Constantine opposite him.
"You want to find Belur, and Rachel and my goal is also Belur. Since that is the case, why don't we team up to look for him?"
Holding a sandwich in his hand, Chas showed a look of joy on his face upon hearing Lynn's proposal.
"I agree!"
Before he and Constantine came to Gotham, they had been constantly worried about whether they could rescue Trish's soul.
And the combat power of these two people in front of them was very strong. If they joined, the probability of rescuing Trish's soul would increase greatly.
Constantine originally wanted to hesitate for a moment, but seeing his old friend's eager desire to save his daughter, he could only nod helplessly.
"I agree too."
He had previously fought against this Great Demon from afar in London.
At that time, Belur's black magic almost burned to death the Nightmare Nurse summoned by him from Hell.
Now with the addition of these two people in front of them, the odds of dealing with Belur would be even greater.
[NPC John Constantine and Chas Chandler have joined your party.]
[Gotham reputation reached 200, BOSS quest unlocked.]
[Quest Description: Hell Lord Nergal attempts to let Hell invade Gotham, turning the entire Gotham into a Hell branch. Please players expel all demons descending upon Gotham and Hell Lord Nergal within 24 hours.]
[Quest Rewards: Settled based on the player's performance in the BOSS quest. The higher the performance score, the more generous the rewards. The highest performance score is SSS. Completing the quest in a team can increase the performance score.]
[Remarks: With one's own strength, defeat the fucking entire Hell!]
Lynn raised his brow.
As expected, it was a BOSS quest, but who on earth was this Nergal?
Could it be the Hell Lord standing silently behind Belurand supporting him?
Lynn shook his head inwardly, put away the system task bar, then spread his palm and extended it in front of Constantine.
"Very well, since you also want to join us, then pay first."
"Pay?" Constantine's face showed puzzlement.
"We helped you solve hundreds of small demons, shouldn't you pay for this?"
Constantine: "..."
Swiftly paying the money to the other party, Chas asked curiously:
"Since we are now teamed up to act, what are your names?"
"My name is Rachel Roth." Raven introduced almost with a smile, "His name is... John Constantine."
Constantine:???
You are called Constantine, then who am I?
...
The Bat-Signal shone upon the dim grayish-white clouds, like stamping a pattern of a bat spreading its wings on a gray-black canvas.
Dressed in iron armor, Lynn shuttled quickly between the city's tall buildings and streets and alleys.
Reflected on the glass curtain wall was his tumbling figure, and the cold metal armor contrasted with the grayish-white, piercing moonlight.
Viewed from afar, his figure looked like a White cloud, tumbling at times and plunging at others.
The red-and-yellow iron armor quickly swept across the high altitude, and then fell weightlessly, resembling a fish playing in Water.
Constantine and Chas below followed behind Raven, looking at the tumbling Lynn in the sky with strange expressions on their faces.
"Has he always been like this?"
Constantine turned his head to look at Raven ahead, his expression slightly peculiar.
Regarding the matter of Lynn being called John Constantine, he didn't believe it at all.
Raven raised her head, her azure eyes sweeping over Lynnwho was tumbling in the air like a fish, supporting her forehead with her right hand, and explained helplessly:
"I also just got to know him. He just said something like not being able to experience it in the Marvel Spider-Man game, coming to Gotham to experience it or something, and then he flew up."
"How much intelligence do you know about Belur?" She changed the subject and asked.
Right now, everyone's target was that Great Demon named Belur.
They must share the intelligence they knew first, lest they encounter unnecessary trouble when acting later.
"I had a skirmish with him once in London before."
Recalling the scene at that time, Constantine's expression gradually turned solemn.
"At that time, Chas's daughter had some problems, and he came to me for help, so I summoned the Nightmare NurseAsag to help me solve this matter."
"And then?"
"After that... Asag helped me check Trish's body and found that Trish's body was not possessed by a demon, but her soul was imprisoned by someone."
Constantine added.
"Right at that time, Asag's body was burned by the demon's black magic, and she almost died there."
And that demon named Belur told me that if I wanted to solve Trish's physical condition, I had to go to the manor at 1247 Ernst Long Street in Gotham City to find him.
Raven nodded, already having some thoughts in her heart.
Perhaps Belur knew Constantine and the others were going over, and had already set up snares and traps.
After all, demons were cunning and despicable. She had deep personal experience of this from her father.
Constantine raised his head, his eyes covered with fine bloodshot veins like small worms, and asked:
"How much intelligence have you mastered?"
"I got the news that Belur wants to establish a Hell branch in Gotham and turn all the major villains of Gotham into demons." Raven replied with a calm expression.
"Turn all the villains of Gotham into demons?" Constantinegasped.
He had already heard of this ghost place called Gothamback in Britain.
If Gotham really became a Hell branch, Arkham Asylum, a place full of talents, would probably give birth to several Great Demons or even Hell Lords at the very first moment.
By that time, even if Gotham had Batman, it would be completely hopeless.
"Indeed." Raven nodded, "If he really succeeds, a Hell Lordmight awaken by then."
"Hell Lord?" Hearing this, Constantine's brow furrowed even deeper.
He turned his head to look at Chas beside him and persuaded:
"Chas, listen, what we are facing is not just powerful black magic, there is also the layout of a Hell Lord among it, we might not necessarily win..."
"Is it like that time in Newcastle?" Chas raised his head, looking at Constantine, his eyes calm and waveless.
Hearing his words, Constantine's mind suddenly brought up the terrified appearance of a girl.
That was years ago, when they met a middle-aged man in Newcastle, who wanted to sacrifice his daughter to a demon.
Constantine at that time was still very green. In order to save that girl, he used magic to summon a Great Demon — Nergal.
He wanted the demon to help save people, but because he was too naive and immature, he didn't set a binding spell.
This caused the demon, after saving the person, to turn the entire nightclub into a living purgatory, and even dragged the girl Constantine wanted to save into Hell by Nergal.
To this day, this matter has always pierced like a thorn in Constantine's heart.
Chas took a photo out of his pocket. This was a family photo of his family of three, and a look of firmness appeared on his haggard face:
"John, we cannot change the past, but... we can change the present."
After saying that, Chas stuffed this family photo into Constantine's pocket.
Constantine fell into silence, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Just at this moment, Lynn's voice came from the sky, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
"I found the final BOSS location."
Chapter 30: What are you muttering about, take my elbow!
1247 Enstrong Street Manor.
This is a large manor located in the suburbs of Gotham. Its overall style is Gothic, just like most buildings in Gotham, and the atmosphere is gloomy and dark.
If it weren't for the house number reading "1247 Enstrong Street," Lynn would have thought this was Wayne Manor.
Bang, bang!!
Constantine knocked on the wooden door, and a dull sound echoed through the silent, long night.
A moment later, the door was pushed open, and a fat figure appeared before everyone.
The figure was neatly dressed in a black suit, with a bright red corsage pinned to his chest, looking somewhat human.
However, atop his head was a hideous and terrifying pig's head.
Clearly, this was a demon—a pig-headed demon.
"John Constantine, you really did come."
Seeing Constantine's appearance, the pig-headed demon wore a cunning smile on his face.
My Lord Belur was right; these humans have concerns and definitely would come.
But the very next moment, his smile froze on his face.
Because—
"What are you muttering about?"
Lynn raised his elbow, suddenly rushed forward, and his muscles instantly flexed, while a roaring Laoda Martial Soul emerged behind him.
"Take my elbow!"
Bang!!
A dull sound came.
Following closely, the sharp elbow carried immense force and smashed fiercely onto the pig-headed demon's pig-like face.
Pitch-black filthy blood instantly splattered out, dripping onto the ground and exuding a thick, foul stench.
"F*ck..."
In his haste, the pig-headed demon saw that it was a man wrapped in a bear hood and wearing iron armor who had elbowed him.
He immediately cursed and prepared to counterattack.
"Damn mortal, how dare you attack me? I'll let you know what the power of a demon is!"
Swish! Swish! Swish!!
Before he finished speaking, a cold glint flashed, and a long sword flickering with golden holy flames instantly cut off the rest of the pig-headed demon's limbs at an extremely fast speed.
"Awooo ho ho ho!!!"
With the crucial parts of his lower body chopped off, the color visibly drained from the pig-headed demon's hideous face as he let out a miserable scream.
He wanted to reach out to cover his lower body, but helplessly discovered that his arms had already been severed, and even at the stump of both arms, a flame carrying divine power was burning continuously.
This wasn't even the most fatal part.
The most fatal part was that he found golden holy flames burning at the fracture of his lower body as well.
Burning the demon's junk, eh?
Demons aren't human, don't they have human rights?
Seeing Lynn chop off the five limbs of the pig-headed demon in an instant like cutting vegetables, Raven's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
But she still immediately stepped forward, her azure eyes instantly turning scarlet, and the gem on her forehead also bloomed with red light, directly transferring the pig-headed demon into the dimensional space.
Lynn watched Raven casting dimensional magic, drooling with envy.
This Raven... oh no, this space-transferring magic is so awesome.
Seeing him like this, Constantine immediately walked to Lynn's side and teased in a low voice:
"Brother, if you like her, hurry up and confess. Maybe she has a good impression of you too?"
Lynn shook his head: "I only like her magic, not her as a person."
"Just like when I kill demons, I simply like killing demons, I don't like demons at all."
Constantine: "..."
If you don't like demons, then why do you react to seeing a demon like a pervert seeing a beauty?
Are you a pervert?
After finishing off the pig-headed demon, everyone continued to pour into the manor and came to the hall.
In the dim living room, only the fireplace not far away was burning wantonly, making the crackling sound of wood being burned into charcoal.
The faint firelight illuminated a corner of the wall, where several dim oil paintings hung.
On one of the oil paintings, countless bone-white corpses were piled into a mountain, and panicked men and women ran while glancing out of the corners of their eyes at what was behind them, as if there were some extremely ferocious beasts behind them.
"That demon named Belur isn't here?" Raven looked around, her expression vigilant.
Bang!!
Lynn walked up to several doors on the side of the living room, kicked open one of them, and walked straight in.
Seeing this scene, Constantine's scalp tingled instantly, and he hurriedly rushed up.
He, Constantine, had survived for so many years relying only on three points—caution, deception, and scamming others.
As a result, he didn't expect this guy impersonating him to be so bold. Could he resurrect anytime, anywhere?
To this, Lynn said: "Sorry, I still have a resurrection card, I really can resurrect anytime and anywhere."
Constantine walked behind Lynn and advised: "We must be careful, that is an extremely cunning demon. What if that demon has set up some dark magic ritual here..."
His voice stopped abruptly, because he saw an extremely miserable scene—
The room was cramped and narrow, the light was dim with a hint of blood color. In the hazy scarlet, countless bone-white skulls piled up together like a small mountain before them.
And to the left of the bone mountain were rotting corpses, pale and bloodless, without bones to support them.
A thick smell of blood like rust mixed with a foul, rotten odor pervaded the air.
"Ugh!"
The moment he saw this scene, Constantinesubconsciously wanted to vomit. He quickly raised his right hand to cover his mouth, his heart filled with horror.
Such a tragic scene... How many people did this Belur kill in Gotham?
"Actually, I quite like this place, and that pig-headed demon butler is also one of the demons I like relatively well."
A deep man's voice suddenly rang out from inside the room.
Lynn looked toward the source of the sound and saw a demon over three meters tall, bulky, and almost the same as Baogang, wearing black pajamas as he walked in.
"You are Belur?" Lynn raised his eyebrows slightly.
The demon had a reversed "Z" letter on his forehead, a fat and swollen face, coupled with a dark green skin panel, making him look like a toad.
"Yes."
He nodded, shaking the wine glass he raised in his hand, and grinned:
"I want to make a pool of flesh and blood in this place. When the corpses all turn into bloody water, and then fish out those bones, swimming inside..."
Constantine stared intently at the great demon in front of him, his face full of solemnity.
"What on earth do you want by asking me here?"
"Tasteless fellow." Belur curled his lips, his face full of boredom.
His gaze fell on the three people behind Constantine, the corners of his mouth turning up into a sinister grin.
"Constantine, I remember I only invited you alone, who are these three?"
"Oh, they are all—"
Constantine was just about to introduce Raven and the others behind him when he was interrupted by Lynn.
"We are the Breathtakingly Handsome Combination," Lynnintroduced. "I am the handsome part, and she is the breathtaking part."
Raven was slightly stunned, but thinking of Lynn's unreliable words and actions, she didn't say anything.
However, Chas next to them was dumbfounded.
We are the Breathtakingly Handsome Combination, you are the handsome, Rachel is the... Then what am I?
Hearing Lynn's words, Belur burst into hearty laughter.
"Hahahaha, Constantine, I didn't expect you to have such an interesting friend."
Lynn nodded, highly approving of his endorsement.
"Right? As long as it's gold, it will shine no matter where it goes."
The corner of Constantine's mouth twitched slightly, shifting his gaze to Belur, he asked in a deep voice:
"Where have you imprisoned Trish's soul?"
"Hehe, don't rush, Constantine."
Belur slurped, his eyes staring fixedly at Lynn, a look of Greed appearing on his face.
"An interesting soul. This is the first time I've felt temptation from a human soul."
"Is that so? A big demon like you is also a huge temptation to me."
As Lynn spoke, he slowly raised the flowing fire blade in his hand, and with a casual wave, golden holy flames surged along the blade body.
Seeing this, Belur was momentarily stunned, and then a disdainful smile appeared on his face.
"You don't intend to use this sword to kill a great demon like me, do you?"
Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Lynn instantly slashed out a Holy Fire Sword Qi.
"What are you muttering about? Take my sword!"
The Holy Fire Sword Qi suddenly tore through the airflow and fiercely chopped toward Belur's lower body.
Belur: "..."
I was just mocking you, there's no need to cut off my posterity, right?
