Shadow of the Beautiful World

6. Sin strikes

In Zha Kang's tavern, Johnny and Zha Kang, who had turned back into human form, sat at the table, chatting and talking.

They seemed to have a good chat.

Twelve more hours and it will be dark.

Merlin looked at the alchemy instrument that Zakon put on the bar to record time.

He turned to the two companions behind him and said:

Be prepared and recharge your batteries, especially you, Zha Kang, you are not allowed to mess with that succubus at this time. Every ounce of strength in your body must be used for tonight's 'journey'.

Also, don't forget what I told you.

Okay.

Zha Kang pouted, but he didn't refute.

The closer you get to that door, the more obstacles you will get.

Johnny raised his wine glass and said to Merlin:

Especially in the last 100 meters, those chasing demons will become more crazy, and there will be all kinds of accidents that will prevent us from getting close to it.

I only rushed 50 meters with your help. It is conceivable that in the last ten meters or so, this wasteland will probably go berserk to prevent us from leaving.

That's hard, Merlin.

It's just hard, Johnny.

Merlin stretched his neck and said:

It's not impossible, I have encountered things ten times more difficult than this

He glanced back at Johnny's tattered black leather jacket.

He reached out and took off his cool and stylish devil leather jacket hanging on the wall, and threw it to Johnny.

He said:

This thing should be very suitable for you. Put it on, and you will be dressed up tonight.

Johnny took the clothes thrown by Merlin.

As the host of Ghost Rider, he could easily smell the strong smell of blood on the clothes.

Merlin certainly didn't make it through some legitimate means.

Those demons certainly didn't volunteer their best pelts.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

In this evil wasteland, the mad Zathanos snarls every second for Johnny to judge the evil, but the good news is that the vengeful spirit is weak.

After these few months of integration, Johnny has also been able to control the madness in his heart.

This is a good thing.

The archangel Randekiel, who took advantage of the fire, inadvertently created an opportunity for Johnny.

A true, complete opportunity to master the power of the Vengeful Spirit.

cool!

Johnny changed into Merlin's leather jacket, and he looked at the evil and stylish demon skulls, horns or other demon parts that were embellished on his body.

He could feel that there were other forces on the clothes.

Merlin must have magically dealt with it.

There is magic going on.

And this frankly evil-looking uniform also adds a substantive dose of gloom and madness to Johnny.

Thanks, buddy.

Johnny turned his head to thank Merlin.

But he found that Merlin was sitting on the bar counter like a sculpture, and he closed his eyes, as if his soul had dissipated from his spirit body, and what remained here was just an empty shell.

this

Johnny looked back at Zha Kang in surprise.

The latter embraced his succubus in a very ambiguous posture, and said to Johnny without raising his head:

His soul went to the present world. I don't know how he did it, but he may be the only guy in this wasteland who is not really imprisoned.

Oh, that's why you choose to work with Merlin?

Johnny sat back in his chair, and he said to Zack Kang:

He gave you confidence?

certainly.

Slag Kang said in a low voice:

I'm a person who doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't scatter an eagle.

If I hadn't seen hope, I wouldn't have died with Merlin. After another hour of drinking, it's time to work.

Zha Kang raised his head and said to Johnny:

That's real physical work, so I hired a bunch of demons to help, but those bastards like to mess around, so I leave it to you, Fire Skull.

no problem.

Johnny shrugged:

It's just monitoring them digging holes, it's not difficult

But what kind of metal is Merlin talking about? What is it? Why haven't I heard of it?

Metal onium!

Zha Kang kissed the succubus in his arms hard on the face, and he said in a bachelor's tone:

Don't look at me, I don't know what that is either.

In short, since you have chosen to trust him, then just do it.

Billy Batson was running.

Run as hard as you can.

He hid in the crowd, panting heavily, trying to calm himself down.

The crowd was fleeing in all directions.

They screamed as if they had seen something terrible.

Before Billy's eyes, on the busiest street in Philadelphia, terrifying monsters were flapping their wings and flying in the air.

It was a monster covered with twisted scales, sharp claws, bat wings, and devil horns.

It kept making sharp roars, as if it was threatening pedestrians on the ground.

And on the street above, a savage monster with stretched muscles and no wings, but with limbs and arms, laughed wildly, grabbed the car at hand, and threw it into the chaotic crowd.

kuang

The thrown car hit the ground, sparks splashed and exploded, and a few unlucky ones were blown away by the explosion and hit the ground.

Their screams made the surrounding crowd even more confused.

Billy looked up, and in the midair of the city, a guy wearing a black leather trench coat, lined suit, and sunglasses was floating there.

He is like standing on an invisible ladder.

Shazam! Come out!

The man shouted:

Don't be a coward, I know you're here!

Billy gritted his teeth and took a step back.

Instructor Merlin told him that the guy who injured the old wizard Shazam and took away the magic pupil that sealed the seven deadly sins would definitely come to him on his own initiative.

The old wizard also said that the supernatural power of Shazam can reseal the seven deadly sins.

If the guy doesn't want to die, then he has to kill Shazam before he grows up.

This is the most basic bad guy logic.

Good guess.

The 15-year-old child quietly hid in a dark alley, and he took out a silver gadget from his schoolbag, which Miss Zatanna delivered to the school by express this morning.

It is the product of alchemy that Merlin mentor explained.

He carefully hung the thing around his neck, and then glanced at the villain who commanded the two monsters in the sky and the ground to wreak havoc in the city.

He took a deep breath and shouted:

shazam!

boom

The beating thunder light fell from the sky and struck the dark alley.

The villain floating in the air also turned his gaze there, a sneer flashed across his face, and he raised his hand as if giving an order.

The monster on the ground, which was threatening pedestrians, roared and grabbed the cars on both sides with its four arms, like throwing a shot put, and smashed the heavy car into the dark alley not far away.

kuang

The first car to be thrown was knocked out of the air by a throbbing thunderbolt, and hit the ground in a shower of sparks.

The second car crashed into a dark alley.

In the next second, it was thrown back at a faster speed and with greater force, hitting the four-armed demon that rushed over.

The huge force attached to the vehicle sent the demon completely flying out. It spun around in the air several times, and its four arms hit the ground, causing a gully several meters long to be pulled out of the ground.

The winged demon flying in the sky rushed into the alley roaring.

But at the same time, a figure sprang out like lightning and slammed into it.

Superman Shazam gritted his teeth, grabbed the monster's claw with his left hand, and clenched his right hand into a fist.

Between punches that surpassed the speed of sound, the monster was punched dozens of times in a second.

It howled and wanted to escape, but Shazam, who was taught by Merlin, didn't give it this chance at all.

He flipped in the air and let out a roar of delight.

Grab the tail of the dizzy winged demon that was beaten, and hit the ground like a hammer, hitting the four-armed demon that jumped up from the ground.

The two monsters howled and crashed into the ground, creating an impact-shaped crater.

Shazam didn't stop, and didn't waste time admiring his victory.

In the past practice battles with Merlin, he has learned to focus on fighting.

Every distraction is fatal, especially when facing a teacher like Merlin.

One distraction is enough to make him fall to the ground and fail.

monster!

Shazam roared, turned into a yellow arc, rushed into the sky under the surprised gazes of the people, and rushed towards the villain who manipulated the monster.

Seeing Shazam rushing over, a sneer flashed across the face of the host of the magic pupil.

He stood in the air, as if petrified.

Shazam instinctively felt something was wrong.

But the body's reaction was faster than his thinking speed, his impact flight speed was too fast, and it was too late to evacuate.

I got you!

The voice of the big villain sounded.

Four fluttering dark green smokes also blow up like a storm.

Four howling evil spirits appeared from four directions, and at the moment those ferocious monsters appeared, Shazam was bombarded four times in a row.

He tried his best to block two of them, but was still punched from the sky into the ground by the heavy punch.

The tyrannical power of those evil spirits smashed Shazam down like a meteor, and his whole body was patted on the ground.

While the ground of the square was cracking, Shazam opened his eyes in pain, and saw four demons pounced down from the sky.

In front of and behind him, there were two other guys who had been defeated before rushing forward.

Shazam instinctively wanted to get up and escape.

But at this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly burst out in his mind.

1 vs 6

Two fists are no match for four hands.

The numerical advantage is not on his side, and there are many ordinary people around who are simply unable to protect themselves.

He must find an opportunity.

Destroy all 6 demons at once, or

Create an opportunity yourself.

Shazam's reaction seemed to be a bit slower.

The moment he was about to get up, the four demons in the sky smashed down together, hitting Shazam, blasting him into the ground again.

The two demons in front and behind also roared and joined the siege.

The heavy punch hit Shazam so hard that he couldn't get up at all.

And the big villain floating in the sky also showed a smug smile.

The successor chosen by the old wizard was nothing more than that.

That old wizard dared to give up on himself arrogantly

He will use Shazam's death to prove that he is the best successor to Shazam's divine power.

shazam!

A deep roar sounded from under the heavy fists of the six demons.

A thick and sharp magical thunderbolt fell from the sky and was hitting Billy.

Just like a terrifying punch that fell from the sky, the power of the stripped divine power unhindered those six tyrannical demons.

They wailed in unison, as if their bodies had been crushed.

Before the dark green smoke dissipated, the six demons were defeated simultaneously.

!!!

The big villain, who had already won the ticket, widened his eyes in disbelief, but before he could react, he was in the big crater that was torn apart by the blasted ground.

A disheveled child in old clothes and a felt hat climbed up.

The moment Billy got up, the ready-to-go spells splashed from his fingers.

Stupefy! (Sleeping Curse!)

Green light flew from Billy's fingertips.

The beating arc passed through the air and precisely hit the big villain in the sky.

A deep sleepiness struck, and the guy with the sunglasses shook his body before falling from the sky to the ground.

But the seven deadly sins, there must be seven of the seven deadly sins

Shazam only killed 6 with that knowing blow just now

There is another one in his body!

Wake up! Sivana! Idiot, wake up!

A deep voice roared in the soul of the villain Sivana.

It made him open his eyes the second he was hit by the Sleeping Curse, but he was greeted by a scorching flame.

Like dragon fire sprayed from the ground.

Call the fire curse!

ah!

He let out a howl.

But the next moment, his whole body was engulfed by the scorching flames.

Billy, standing in the ruins, raised his hands.

With the beating of his fingers, the magic he learned from Merlin was thrown out one after another, and Sivana, the magic pupil host who fell from the sky, wanted to fly again.

But in Billy's precise magical bombardment, he couldn't control the situation at all.

Below! Go below!

The only uninjured demon in his soul screamed:

escape!

He's a wizard! You underestimate him and run away! Quick!

The whole body of the big villain was set on fire, and he hurriedly fell into the crowd.

Billy didn't dare to throw magic anymore. Magic is also fatal to ordinary people.

This is his first fight.

In fact, until the villain escaped, he was in a dazed state.

It never occurred to him to give chase.

By the time he came back to his senses, he had been overwhelmed by the thankful voices around him.

The 15-year-old was a little overwhelmed.

He pushed away the crowd and ran towards the subway station.

A few minutes later, Billy came to the temple of the Rock of Eternity.

He gathered his magic power and activated Merlin's Horcrux. The moment Merlin appeared, Billy excitedly said to his mentor:

Teacher, I won!

Um?

Merlin looked at the disheveled man in front of him in surprise, like a disciple who had rolled several times in the mud. He looked at the scratches and stains on Billy's face.

He said:

What did you win?

Seven Deadly Sins, Mo Tong!

Billy danced and said:

He attacked the city and forced me to come out and I got into a fight with him and knocked him away.

Merlin's expression changed.

He looked at Billy, and he said:

You just beat him away and didn't catch him?

Ugh, he's running too fast.

Billy scratched his hair and said:

I didn't catch it.

Don't tell me
