Chapter 358 The Devil's Condition

The fire of hell broke out mercilessly, as if it was going to burn the world!The flames spread rapidly on the flattened ground, spreading across the entire open space in the blink of an eye, and then rolled towards the surrounding forest trees, engulfing all the flowers, plants and trees in the sea of ​​flames.

The flames reflected the sky red, as if a huge flame-colored pot cover covered the sky.The high temperature was sealed between the earth and the sky, as if the entire atmosphere had become a huge steamer.There was a hissing sound of water evaporating, and it was a high temperature that no living thing could resist.

That is the flame of the ghost rider, the ultimate fire that can burn everything, even the soul.Under the special gift of Mephisto, this power has been exerted to an unprecedented extreme.

However, when the flames gradually faded, the two figures were still hanging there unscathed in the scorched black giant pit that was burnt out on the ground.Destruction and strangeness, the two "doctors" joined forces to build an indestructible shield with magic power, and on the one hand, even they themselves didn't know if there was any way to penetrate the shield.Although the high-temperature shock wave still caused them to retreat a few meters away, the shield still managed to hold on, successfully resisting the full-power eruption of the Ghost Rider for them.

Of course, Doom's face is still not very good at this time-someone obviously doesn't like "teamwork" all the time, especially with strangers.

And from the first sight of the meeting, Doom classified Doctor Strange as "a wizard with a moustache who is not very serious and unreliable", which made him naturally feel that it is cheap to cooperate with this guy.

The flames faded away, and sporadic flames burned quietly on the scorched earth.The spell shield lifted, but there were only the two of them behind.

One person is missing.

Ghost Rider reacted quickly, but at the same moment, a phantom also broke his invisibility and rushed up from behind him.The moment he turned his head, Michael's right fist hit the white skull, and the strong wind blew the flame above his head violently.

But today's Ghost Rider is also quite quick to respond. He raised his palm to block the punch, and twisted his wrist to take advantage of the situation to counterattack.But just as he was about to move, he saw that the opponent's other palm had pressed on his chest.The movement of punching perfectly concealed the trajectory of his left palm, and Ghost Rider didn't realize it until his palm was pressed to his chest.

The palm was printed on his chest, and the light blue magic circle spread out in a flash, and the magic power was accurately injected into the knight's body.The knight's body shook, and he fell back. The skeleton's mouth kept opening and closing, as if silently shouting something.

For a moment, the red light in the skull's eye sockets burst to the extreme, as if two arrows were about to be shot out.But then the light went out.The blue magic power erupted from the knight's back, and a phantom was blown out of his body.The shadow is like a cloud of misty black mist, rising and twisting, gradually transforming into a giant standing upright.The scarlet demon looked down at the world like an extremely angry demon god, and his yellow pupils were filled with furious emotions.

The flame above Ghost Rider's head went out.He returned to his human form and lay prone on the ground, unconscious.

"I haven't seen you for a while, I've grown a lot, mage."

The giant—that is, the image of Mephisto—looked at Michael with gloomy and angry eyes, and said in a deep voice.

"You, Von Doom, and that one over there... Are you from the Temple?" The demon's eyes turned to Doctor Strange.

Strange floated up into the air, looking at him without fear: "I am Stephen Strange, the supreme mage who guards the temple."

"Huh? Supreme Mage?" Mephisto showed an expression of interest, "Interesting, you are the new Supreme Mage. The three of you have successfully caught my attention. You are indeed different in this small group of human beings, but That doesn't mean you can take my wrath."

"You overestimate yourself, devil." Doom took a step forward and looked at him coldly. "Liberate my mother's soul immediately, or I will make you regret it myself, devil."

Mephisto laughed like he had heard the funniest joke in all hell.

"You? Make me regret it? Yes, yes, excellent." He laughed. "I'm very much looking forward to what you can surprise me, Von Doom, although nothing you do will help." A threat to me, but still the only pastime for the long, endless years in hell."

The image of the giant shifts, this time into a red face that is enlarged so that it appears as if he is closer to the camera.

"You want his mother's soul, but you have no leverage. I have absolutely no reason to do so, unless I make a contract with you—Victor von Doom. Is that what we demons do specifically?"

"Tell me your conditions." Dum said coldly.

"I'll give you, and you humble human mages, a chance to fight for Cynthia's soul." He glanced at everyone coldly, and said, "Next month's NO.15, I will allow You come into my kingdom and I will fight with you personally. If you win, I will free your mother's soul and she will be free. But that doesn't mean you can touch her. Her soul will leave me control, but will go to a place that you will never be able to enter. Hahahaha, it seems that I still don’t suffer.”

Doctor Strange frowned: "Then what if we don't win?"

Mephisto glanced at him, giggled a few times, and pointed at Dum: "If you don't win, then of course, your soul must also stay, and live forever like Cynthia. Hmm. No."

The demon narrowed his eyes and turned his fingers from Doom to Michael.

"No, I don't want your soul anymore." He sneered, "I want him, I want the soul of this mage."

"No." Doom said darkly, "This has nothing to do with other people. This is between you and me. This is my battle."

"The last time this human being overreached into my territory to make trouble, it wasn't just your fault." Mephisto's voice was firm, "This is the only chance I give you, you have to know I didn't have to do this at all. Accept it, this is your only chance. Otherwise you'll never see your mother again."

"I accept." Before Doom could speak, Michael said calmly.

"No," Doom turned his head, "it's none of your business!"

"I promised to bring back your mother." Michael spoke calmly, and he patted Dum on the shoulder, "I will do what I said."

Mephisto laughed heartily: "Okay! Then next month's NO.15, I look forward to your arrival. It's better to prepare some surprises for me. If you make things end too easily, I will be very disappointed of."

After speaking, the figure of the hell lord turned into nothingness and disappeared.
