The atmosphere at the scene froze to the extreme.
It was as if there was a substantial pressure pressing down on everyone. Saber leaned on his saber and stood in place. He was in a miserable state, covered in blood, wounds, dust, and ashes. His arms were also recovering from burns and bruises. His eyes under the helmet looked coldly at Ghost Rider, who was standing not far away.
Victory seemed to be in his grasp.
Everyone's eyes jumped back and forth between Saber, Ghost Rider, and Rozanne in the back. This scene was strange no matter how one looked at it.
It was so strange that no one knew who the real villain was. It looked more like Saber, but to be honest, from their point of view, Ghost Rider was the guy who had always been looking for trouble. They hadn't even offended him!
The flames in Ghost Rider's eyes burned even more crazily. He didn't seem to be affected at all. After just two seconds, he stepped forward again. Alanak and Santos clenched their weapons, but Saber waved his hand to stop them.
"Don't worry!"
He said in a low and playful voice. "Let me see what choice he will make … I don't believe that a person who dares to make a deal with the devil for love will allow madness to control his soul."
Remy looked worriedly at Ghost Rider, who was walking over step by step. He could see the rapidly rising temperature around him with his naked eye, and the scorching flames spreading in the direction Ghost Rider was heading …
"Then what if he … makes another choice?"
"Then he'll go completely crazy! A crazy opponent is easier to deal with, isn't it? "
Seiber turned his head to look at Donstantine. His expression was a bit ugly. Donstantine was hiding at the back of the crowd, and it seemed like he could escape at any moment. Seiber asked in a low voice.
"Do you have a way to kill it completely?"
Constantine shook his head and said awkwardly, "Magic isn't omnipotent, and something bad happens every time I use magic. It's impossible to kill a spirit like Ghost Rider … But we can try to seal him … or expel the powerful and crazy spirit entangling his soul."
Saber nodded.
"How confident are you?"
"Less than thirty percent."
Constantine rubbed his eyes and patted his cheeks. "This kind of big fella is probably the most difficult to deal with that I've ever dealt with. If only I had a Demon Hunting Spear … Too bad that bastard Midnight never lent me that treasure … Damn it!"
"You don't want to lend? Then I'll just snatch it from him next time! "
Saber snorted. Constantine was stunned for a moment. He smiled bitterly and clasped a golden knuckle engraved with biblical words on his left hand. It seemed that he was ready for battle. He lit a wrinkled cigarette and held it in the corner of his mouth.
"Father Midnight is no ordinary person. He's the Voodoo King from Europe, the most vicious and despicable person in the entire East Coast …"
"He's not! Believe me... he is still far from that level. "
Seiber glanced at Constantine and said something to stop Constantine's chattering. He raised the sword in his hand and flicked the finger of his other hand behind him. Yuriko, who was pointing the gun at Rozanne's head, understood and unlocked the safety.
"Take one more step and Rozanne's soul will return to hell!"
Saber said loudly. "Johnny, you might not realize it yet, but I'm actually helping you. Either you transcend it, control it, and defeat it with me, or you watch the person you love die. There's no third path for you in this cruel world …"
Boom!
The flames on Ghost Rider's head suddenly flared up. Everyone thought that he was going to attack, but in the next moment, he covered his head with his bony claws and lowered his head. His body began to tremble. Seiber's eyes lit up, and he dashed out with his sword. A silver light mixed with dark red light, and he slashed at Ghost Rider's shoulder.
But the moment before the sharp blade touched the flaming skull, his left hand popped out and accurately grasped Saber's blade. Flames spread on Saber's alloy katana. Ghost Rider raised his head. That burning skull looked so ferocious.
"I told you not to look at me with those damn eyes! You're such a forgetful fellow! "
Bang!
Saber raised his fist and smashed it on Ghost Rider's head. His flesh was charred, but the rider's body was also sent flying. Before he landed, Saber pounced and slashed down fiercely, chopping off his left arm. That left arm wrapped in red flames fell to the ground and quickly lost all the characteristics of the flames. Like a bone that had weathered time, it quickly turned black, weathered, and finally seeped into the ground.
The skeleton opened its mouth and let out a soundless roar. A spark appeared in its mouth. The next moment, the billowing flames drowned Saber again. But there was clearly something wrong with his body. Johnny was resisting it. The Spirit of Vengeance didn't care about Rozanne's life at all. It instinctively wanted to punish Saber for his sins.
But Johnny couldn't. He couldn't watch Rozanne die in front of his eyes. Although Saber's actions were indeed despicable, Johnny realized in despair that the only way to save Rozanne's life now was to join hands with Saber and suppress the Spirit of Vengeance that dominated his body.
Roar!
The tide of flames stopped, and the skeleton's remaining bone claw clutched its head as it staggered back. After half of its soul started to resist, this Ghost Rider already showed signs of splitting. When Johnny's soul no longer obeyed it, it couldn't completely control this body.
Roar!
It roared again. Its feet in military boots stomped fiercely on the ground that was already covered in flames. In an instant, two craters filled with flames appeared. From the blazing flames in front of it, a walking human-shaped flame rushed out. Saber, whose entire body was on fire, waved the katana in his hand and viciously slashed at the struggling Ghost Rider.
"That's it! Johnny! That's it! "
Bang!
The skeleton's other arm was chopped off, followed by its sternum. Saber held the katana with one hand and clenched his other hand into a fist. Like a hammer, he crazily smashed this extremely chaotic knight in front of him. Under Johnny's resistance and interference, the Spirit of Vengeance couldn't put up any effective resistance.
"Don't compromise! I'll help you! "
Saber roared and kicked the skeleton's abdomen, knocking it to the ground. Sharp weapons weren't useful against an opponent that didn't have any flesh or weak points. Saber simply stuck the katana to the side, picked up the chains on the side, and wrapped them around his hands. Just like before, he flipped over and sat on top of the struggling Ghost Rider.
He raised his chain-wrapped fists high and smashed down with all his strength.
Clang! Clang!
Bone fragments wrapped in flames flew everywhere. The Ghost Rider's sternum was smashed. Sensing the threat, the Spirit of Vengeance began to crazily squeeze Johnny's soul. Saber could even hear Johnny's miserable screams coming from the bones.
"Stop! Hey, stop! Bastard! I told you to stop! "
Boom!
Another fist smashed into its spine, breaking it. Scarlet flames sprang up and crazily surrounded Saber. Johnny's screams became more and more intense. This Spirit of Vengeance that was supposed to balance and monitor the human world had really gone crazy. It was trying to strangle Johnny from the depths of his soul.
Every time Saber attacked, the Spirit of Vengeance would attack Johnny's soul more fiercely. This seemed to be a cycle, but Johnny was just an ordinary person. Facing this kind of pain, he didn't know how long he could endure. Saber didn't know either, so he had to think of a way. Once the Spirit of Vengeance regained control of Johnny's body, Saber wouldn't be able to come up with any good ideas against this unkillable Ghost Rider.
"Constantine!"
Seiber threw a punch and shouted, "Are you ready or not?!"
"Quick! Come and help! "
Constantine looked conflicted, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and called for Remy and Santos to rush to the side of the Ghost Rider that Saber had suppressed in the crater. Remy and Santos followed the detective's instructions and pressed two small crosses on the Ghost Rider's recovered arms. The flames roasted their bodies, and in just a few seconds, blisters appeared on their skin.
Constantine himself, on the other hand, stood in front of the Ghost Rider's head and held a simple gold coin in his hand as he shouted loudly.
"In the name of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Father, and the Holy Son! I command you! Leave this place! Leave this mortal body! Evil spirit, disperse! "
Constantine's body emitted a milky white light, like a unique scene in the flames. With complicated gestures, he pressed the coin in his hand hard against the Ghost Rider's skull. But in the next moment, not only did the gold coin used for the exorcism ritual not expel the Spirit of Vengeance from Johnny's body, it even aroused his resistance.
"Roar!"
The flaming skeleton struggled wildly and threw Remy and Santos away. Saber was also thrown to the ground. Constantine wanted to escape, but the Ghost Rider grabbed his shoulder. The Ghost Rider's body was still trembling, but at this moment, the Spirit of Vengeance seemed to have been replenished. It suppressed Johnny's struggles and regained control of the body.
"No! It's not an evil spirit! Damn it! It's not! The ritual was used incorrectly! It's all your fault, Saber! Damn it! Run! "
The panicked Constantine turned around and dashed out, but his neck was gripped tightly by the burning bone claws. The Ghost Rider lifted him high into the air, and a hoarse voice rang out.
"You … are guilty!"
"Look into my eyes!"
"No! No! Don't even think about it! "
Constantine struggled to close his eyes tightly. He knew what he would encounter once he opened his eyes, but the special power attached to the Ghost Rider's voice made his eyelids open frantically. The blazing flames on the bone claws burned the spirit world detective until he screamed in pain.
His black trench coat seemed to have some kind of magic power that protected him from being ignited by hellfire, but that was all he could do.
"No! Saber! Save me! No! "
"I'm coming! Bastard! "
Bang!
The long blade slashed down, and the two broken bone claws and Constantine himself were sent flying. Saber threw down the blade and grabbed the Ghost Rider's shoulders with both hands. His eyes widened at this moment, and he fearlessly looked into the burning eyes of the Ghost Rider.
"You think I'm guilty, right?"
"You want to judge me, right?"
"I'll give you the chance! But don't forget! We have two pairs of the same eyes! "
"Bastard!!"
"Look, at, my, eyes!!"
Saber's eyes, which had been completely condensed to the highest level, and the mysterious power behind them were pushed to the extreme. His pupils rapidly expanded, and this special power, which was being used for the first time, was like a high-powered water pump that began to crazily extract Saber's energy.
He felt as if a behemoth had awakened for the first time in his body. He was curiously looking at the world around him, and then he saw the Ghost Rider's Eyes of Repentance open as well …
There was one thing that Carter didn't tell Saber and Johnny … The Eyes of Repentance of every generation of Ghost Rider had a special effect. As a Texas ranger, Carter's ability was Soul Pursuit, which allowed him to accurately find any soul he wanted to capture while in the Ghost Rider state.
Johnny's ability was Ignite. In addition to the soul-burning effect of the Eyes of Repentance, he had far more control over fire than other Ghost Riders, and the demonized flames he gave his mount were also stronger.
As for Saber … he wasn't a complete Ghost Rider, but he had those eyes, so he naturally had a special ability. It was just that he didn't know about it.
At this moment, when the two pairs of Eyes of Repentance met, Saber's eyes seemed to be enraged by Johnny's unbridled gaze. The moment the Ghost Rider tried to burn the sin and soul in Saber's body, these eyes began their first counterattack since they were born.
Everyone present inexplicably felt a chill … Under their astonished gazes, all the flames around them, including the flames of the Ghost Rider that Saber was strangling, slowly withdrew at this moment, as if they had received some kind of order …
Until they were completely … extinguished.
