Reality proved that although Professor Doom did not have a good reputation in the outside world, he would be a very good team member when working together.
The timing of the two holy spells, Holy Halo and Holy Oath, could be said to be perfect.
If not for the fact that this was Doom's first time fighting together, Rogge would have suspected that he had specially trained with Doom in this kind of tactic.
The sudden burst of holy energy from Rogge's body instantly disrupted Mephisto's attack rhythm, giving him an almost negligible amount of time to 'catch his breath'.
To ordinary people, Mephisto's short delay of a few tenths of a second wasn't an opportunity at all.
However, to people like Rogge or Hila who were extremely proficient in close-range combat, this delay was enough to turn the tide of the battle.
Mephisto's black cane brushed past Rogge's face, almost leaving a scar on his handsome face.
Rogge did not waste the opportunity that Doom had created. The Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi sword wrapped in light blue lightning and golden holy flames stabbed out at a speed that exceeded the limits of what the naked eye could see.
This time, Rogge did not stab at Mephisto's heart core in his chest. Instead, he stabbed at his right eye.
Even if Mephisto was a Lord of Hell, as long as he was stabbed by this sword, he would definitely have a temporary loss of vision.
This had nothing to do with whether Mephisto was a Lord of Hell or not. It was purely determined by his form.
If Rogge did not have Holy Halo and Holy Oath, Mephisto would not care about this sword at all.
Although the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi sword was fast, he could completely create an energy barrier before it stabbed him and block Rogge's sword.
However, Mephisto did not dare to do so now.
He could ignore Rogge's Chakra, but he did not dare to underestimate the holy energy of the True Cross fragment.
Retreat!
Retreat quickly!
Mephisto, who had just mocked Rogge for overestimating himself and daring to use swordsmanship in front of him, was now forced back by Rogge's sword.
Although Logue didn't say anything harsh to Mephisto, he proved it to Mephisto with his actions.
Don't act tough just because you're older!
There were many examples of people who looked down on the Earth civilization and were defeated by the Earthlings in the end.
Mephistos chose to retreat, but Rogge wouldn't let him off so easily.
A few seconds ago, Mephisto was still chasing after Rogge.
But now, the situation was reversed.
Dang dang dang dang dang dang …
Previously, Mephisto had used Rogge as a practice target. Now, it was Rogge's turn to return the favor.
Just like Mephistos, who only pursued speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness with his sword, Rogge's attack also followed these three points.
Swords were lethal weapons, and swordsmanship was the art of killing! (Note 1)
The art of killing did not need to be fancy!
Just as Rogge was about to leave the mark of an Earthling on Mephisto's body in one go, the holy energy in his body disappeared.
The duration of the Holy Halo and the Holy Oath had ended.
The sudden disappearance of the buff inevitably made his movements a little incoherent.
The experienced Mephisto naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity. However, just as he was about to counterattack, Rogge opened his mouth silently.
"Old man, you've been tricked!"
With Mephisto's ability, reading lips wasn't a problem at all.
But before he could react, a holy light that seemed to have descended from heaven completely enveloped the two of them.
Holy Purification!
It was true that Rogge and Doom had never worked together before, but they were both existences with rich combat experience.
Even if they hadn't rehearsed or worked together before, as long as they had seen the same battle plan, they would be able to cooperate tacitly.
Holy Halo, Holy Oath, Holy Purification …
These holy spells were all in the plan that Doom had shown Rogge.
In order to regain the freedom of Cynthia's soul, Doom generously revealed the spells he had mastered to Rogge.
Although the spells recorded in the plan couldn't be all of Doom's spells.
However, as long as he knew the effects of these spells, Rogge would be able to determine which spell Doom would cast at which time.
This had nothing to do with whether the two of them were familiar with each other or not. It was purely because they had the same level of combat thinking.
Simply put, this was like two kings being matched against the same passerby.
They had indeed never worked together before, but under the premise of knowing what abilities the other party had, they could easily cooperate exquisitely.
In a one-on-one situation, they were indeed no match for Mephisto.
Although the humans on Earth were far inferior to the demons in Hell, humans had an advantage that demons could never have.
Humans were creatures that would help and support each other.
A single person's strength might be very insignificant, but when one human after another was added together, it was enough to change the world.
Man could conquer nature!
Because humans were weak, they learned to work together.
Because humans were weak, they learned to use the laws of nature and borrow the power of the world itself.
Because humans were weak, they learned to be humble and learn, and explore the truth of the world bit by bit.
So, never, ever underestimate humans!
…
The holy light that was like the descent of heaven dispelled the power of hell within a few hundred meters. This hellish place filled with destruction and chaos showed a warmth and light that had never appeared before.
When the holy light dissipated, Rogge and Mephisto, who were at the center of the holy purification, disappeared.
The power of holy purification was very strong, enough to deal a fatal blow to the undead and demons.
But it also depended on who the opponent was.
As a Lord of Hell, the holy purification that Doom used the True Cross fragment to cast could indeed make him suffer a small loss, but it was far from enough to seriously injure him.
However, Rogge and Doom didn't expect the holy purification to completely deal with the Lord of Hell.
Being able to make Mephisto suffer a small loss was already a very good result.
The defense towers had to be pushed down one by one, and the troops had to be pushed down in waves.
In order to destroy the enemy's crystal, they had to build up their own advantage bit by bit.
What Rogge and Doom were doing now was to increase their advantage bit by bit.
This advantage might not be obvious now, but as long as they continued to accumulate, they would be able to destroy this crystal named Mephisto sooner or later.
After the holy purification, Rogge's figure appeared two to three meters in front of Doom, while Mephisto's figure appeared more than a hundred meters away.
After being hit by the holy purification on the spot, even Mephisto was left with many marks.
His classic black suit had obvious holes in it, and his meticulous silver hair had also become messy.
"Good! Very good! Both of you are very good! "
Although Mephisto's voice wasn't loud, Rogge and Doom could clearly hear the anger in his voice.
Before they could say anything, Mephisto tore off his suit, revealing his strong muscles that didn't match his image of an old man.
Under Rogge and Doom's gaze, Mephisto's skin turned dark red, and the human appearance that he maintained also changed.
Two huge curved horns grew out of his forehead, his human hands turned into monster-like claws, and a pair of huge red bat wings surged out of his back.
In less than a second or two, Mephisto turned into the classic demon image in the legends.
Although this red demon image looked like Mephisto's true demon body, Rogge knew that this wasn't Mephisto's true appearance.
Mephisto's true appearance was unknown, and all the appearances he displayed were only changes he made according to his needs. (Note 2)
However, from the way Mephisto transformed from a human into a demon, he should be angry.
Otherwise, he could have continued to maintain his human appearance and the mentality that this was just a small game.
After Mephisto transformed into a demon, Rogge threw the Kusanagi sword back into the Psychic Scroll and deactivated the Lightning Escape Chakra mode.
Since Mephisto was starting to get angry, he naturally had to give himself a stronger buff.
Eight Inner Hidden Gates, sixth gate, Gate of View, open!
Before the battle with Ronan on Planet Saka, Rogge had already grasped the sixth gate, Gate of View.
It was just that Ronan's strength was too weak. He couldn't even survive the fifth gate, Gate of Stop, causing the sixth gate, Gate of View, to lose the opportunity to appear.
Although Mephisto didn't know what kind of existence the Eight Inner Hidden Gates were, he could clearly sense Rogge's greatly increased Chakra and physical strength.
Is he planning to continue fighting me in close combat?
Mephistos had changed his human form to that of a demon, with the intention of continuing to fight Rogge in close combat.
But what he didn't expect was that after seeing his demon appearance, Rogge actually used a move that greatly increased his physical strength.
"Haha … Hahaha … Interesting … Interesting …"
Looking at Rogge, who was emitting a green glow, Mephisto suddenly laughed.
Under normal circumstances, people would choose to attack their opponent's weakness with their strengths.
This was also the most suitable tactic in a battle.
But at this moment, Rogge was doing the opposite.
Mephisto transformed into a demon that was better at close combat, and he activated the Eight Inner Hidden Gates that could greatly increase his close combat ability.
Don't you want to fight in close combat? I'll give you the chance.
Rogge's tit-for-tat and unyielding approach perfectly matched Mephisto's preferences.
Looking at Rogge, Mephisto thought of his disappointing descendants.
Why don't my descendants have such a personality!
They only know how to scheme against each other all day and play small tricks that can't be shown in public. They're simply embarrassing me, Mephisto.
If he had a descendant with Rogge's personality, why would he stay in hell and work so hard at his age?
"Be my son!"
Just as Rogge and Doom were waiting for Mephisto's revenge attack, Mephisto suddenly said something that confused them.
