Hogness Leonid Ivanovich was a typical Russian. Well, to be precise, he was born 270 years ago, when Russia was still under the rule of the Tsar. What was more surprising was that Hogness was actually a radical Bolshevik. Yes, before he fell into a deep slumber, he had met Stalin. He was called "Davassili" by the Iron Comrade, and there were very few people who were still alive, but there was one in front of him.
It was just the tip of the tail of the Middle Ages, when the glory of magic and witchcraft had disappeared from the circle of the upper class, but in the remote areas, these ancient legacies still occupied a place. Hogness was born in a small town on the border of Ukraine, in Eastern Europe, which had always been a disaster area for black magic.
His experience was too distant, so it was pointless to talk about it here. In short, after going through unimaginable hardships, Hogness also gained power that ordinary people could not imagine. He became one of the elders of the declining magic world in Europe, and in his deep slumber that lasted until the 21st century, he received an invitation from the Supreme Sorcerer to become Kamar-Taj's external force.
In the past 200 years, the explosive growth of science and technology made Hogness somewhat uncomfortable, but as a true sorcerer who pursued the truth, he did not care whether this era was good or bad, because his identity had determined that he was destined to be separated from this era. However, to his relief, the legacies of magic had not been completely wiped out. They had stubbornly survived in another way, and seemed to be living a better life than their predecessors.
"Book thief! Return the precious book that does not belong to you! "
Hogness's eyes were calm. As a person who had lived for nearly 300 years, and would continue living for a long time, there were not many things that could arouse his curiosity. In his eyes, Constantine, who had the Book of Solomon, was just a second-rate sorcerer, an ant-like fellow that was not even worth mentioning. However, this was much better than Angela, because the old sorcerer did not even pay attention to Angela.
She was just an ordinary person with a little talent, worse than a speck of dust.
"Occupying power that shouldn't be touched. Perhaps I should say that you're ignorant and fearless …"
Hogness walked forward step by step with his staff. He pulled the brim of his star-studded hat and raised his left hand. The Book of Solomon fell lightly into his hand. Constantine had completely given up on resisting. The old man in front of him was too strong. He was no match for him. Hogness glanced at the unconscious Constantine and frowned. He noticed the traces of the Seal of Solomon in the mana surrounding Constantine.
This surprised the old mage. The Book of Solomon in his hand disappeared, and he stroked his beard.
"With your talent, your magic power is too complicated, and there is no system to speak of, but you can actually learn the Seal of Solomon by yourself … It seems that I have underestimated you."
"Cough, cough!"
Constantine leaned against the broken tree trunk with great difficulty. A mocking smile appeared on his face, which was full of dirt and scars.
"In this era, there's something called online translation. Old man, you've been abandoned by the times, you bastard."
"Hmph!"
Hogness was born in an era where inheritance and etiquette were highly valued. Constantine's attitude made him very unhappy. He turned around and was about to leave, leaving these two who had intruded into the dark matter to fend for themselves … Just as he once said to Strange, no one who was associated with the dark matter was innocent. They could only blame themselves for what happened to them.
But just as the old mage turned around, he saw Sim tearing apart the remaining darkness and jumping into the night. Hognes, who had been dealing with the power of darkness for his entire life, didn't hesitate at all. He waved his staff, and three Flame Spears that were sharper, hotter, and more powerful than before were hurled at Sim's head.
The Hezrou, a Lesser Lord, reacted quickly. It completed its demon transformation in an instant. Dark green energy wrapped around its arms, and it punched away the two Flame Spears in front of it. However, the last Flame Spear hit its abdomen directly. The Demon Energy Shield around its body was easily torn apart like a piece of paper. Its huge lizard-like divine body was pushed into the air by the powerful flame energy. Hogness narrowed his eyes and moved his finger slightly.
Boom!
The Flame Spear that was nailed to Sim's abdomen exploded like a bomb, tearing open a hideous wound on the Hezrou's abdomen. Sim fell to the ground in a sorry state. It turned around and ran. The wound on its abdomen healed quickly. After running for three seconds, it was completely healed. But it was obvious that it was still no match for the old monster in front of it. Hogness's fighting style reminded Sim of the exorcists who ran rampant in the world hundreds of years ago.
They were not dabblers like Constantine, but loners who truly hunted demons. From the birth of hell until now, one-third of the demon lords that had been killed had died directly in that crazy era.
It shouted in a frenzy through the soul link.
"Saber, there's a problem … Come and help me!"
Saber, who was wiping out those damned creatures that crossed the boundary in the East Side of Manhattan, frowned and spoke in a low voice through the soul link.
"Can't you just run back to hell yourself?"
Saber reached out and pulled the Flame Spear out from the heart of the Chaos Angel that was nailed to the wall. Hot blood splattered everywhere. The mixed-blood angel with one last breath tried to fight back with its broken sword. In the end, Saber stomped its head on the ground, and its brain juice splattered everywhere.
"I'm … a little busy now!"
The Flame Spear slashed backward, and an angel that tried to ambush him was beheaded. Not far away, the demonized Sergues was holding two alloy axes high, slaughtering the low-level mixed-blood that gathered together to resist. The entire abandoned underground garage was like a slaughterhouse. The two violent fellows and the gang members who were holding guns stained with holy water turned the place into a pot of porridge.
"I can't escape! This old monster has sealed off the surrounding dimension! He's a real Demon Hunter. He won't stop until he kills his target. Come and save me! "
Saber's frown deepened. He took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Hello? Saber? Why are you calling me at this time? "
Strange, who was leaning on the bed and studying a magic book, glanced at Palmer who was sleeping beside him. He walked to the balcony in his pajamas and whispered, "Are the demons attacking?"
"No … They came to the East Side of Manhattan to pick me up. The Book of Solomon … There might be a problem."
A moment later, at the entrance of the underground garage that exuded a unique bloody smell, a neatly dressed Strange walked out of the portal. He frowned and looked at the Devil Gang members who were moving the corpses out. Looking at the mutilated corpses, he couldn't bear it. So, he said to Saber,
"There's no need to be so cruel, right? They usually live like normal people. They didn't do anything wrong. "
Saber looked at Strange in surprise and threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground.
"Are you stupid? Am I killing them because they did something wrong? Do I look like a person who upholds justice? "
"If it weren't for the Ancient One issuing a strongly worded expulsion order to these mysterious creatures, would I take my people to stay up in the middle of the night and run around New York? Look at my poor subordinates. They're numb from killing these mixed-race bastards. But … "
Saber suddenly raised his head and said to Strange with a strange expression.
"If you really think they're pitiful, you can go to Kamar-Taj and your mentor to plead for them. Maybe the Ancient One will let them go for your sake."
Strange shrugged, waved his hand to open a teleportation rune, turned his head and said,
"Pretend I didn't say anything … By the way, where are you going?"
Saber closed his eyes and communicated with the increasingly weak Sim for a moment. When he opened his eyes, a ring of flame flashed in his eyes.
"In a park 23 miles southwest of Manhattan Bay!"
"It can't be that accurate!"
Strange's finger moved, and a red portal appeared in front of the two of them. He reached out and wiped his magic cloak, and said to Saber, "The error is within 1-2 miles. Let's go, get that book back soon, and I can relax."
On the other side, Hognes, who was suspended in the dark sky like a god, had his robe fluttering without wind. Every time he waved the staff in his hand, a scorching firestorm would appear. This magic flame was very abominable to Sim, but it was not a flying demon, so there was no way for it to fight against the old sorcerer suspended in the sky.
"There's actually a demon lord walking here … It seems that the cracks in the barrier mentioned by the Ancient One are getting more and more serious."
Hognes' expression was serious. As one of the most powerful people in the sorcerer community, he knew better than anyone the disastrous consequences after the wall collapsed, but in this matter, no one could fight against the established fate, even the Ancient One could only choose to delay tactics.
"Speak! Demon, who ordered you to come here? "
The old mage's voice reverberated in this sealed Mirror Dimension Space. A terrifyingly hot core of a Flame Storm was floating in his left hand. As long as he willed it, he could thoroughly bury the Lesser Demon Overlord trapped in the Flame Storm. As a powerful mage, he had more than one way to exterminate a Demon's soul in the main world.
But he needed more information, and the recent chaos in New York had very bad signs. As an elder who had survived the craziest era, Hognes knew better than anyone the importance of information, so for this reason, he did not mind sparing the demon's life, of course, only for a few more minutes.
"I was ordered by your father to come and catch your little brother and take it as a snack! You bastard, I f * cking said, I'm not your enemy, there's no grudge between us! "
After being suppressed for more than ten minutes, Sim, who was already seriously injured, was full of anger. Demons had a bad temper, and for them, reason was meaningless. It did not care about the difference between the two at all, and shouted at Hognes in the sky.
"You old coffin whose brain has been eaten by zombies! You retard who should have died in a woman's bed long ago! I'm not with them! You bastard with broken eyes, look clearly, I'm contracted. Do you really think I want to appear in this damned world? You idiot! Sewer rat! Disgusting maggot! "
"Enough! Impudent demon! I'll extract your soul and slowly search for the truth! Now, let this world be quiet! "
Hognes' beard was blown up. He had enough of Sim's foul language. He flipped his left hand, and the scorching core of the firestorm that was about to ignite the air was thrown down. Under this attack, the rude demon had no chance of survival. How many years had it been since he was humiliated like this?
Thinking of Constantine, Hognes suddenly felt that this stupid era was terrible. Those good things were not passed down at all. The people of this era were simply rude!
"F * ck you!"
Sim's eyes widened. It watched as the destructive core of the firestorm fell from the sky like a meteor. It fiercely pointed its middle finger at Hognes.
But soon, Sim raised her head in confusion. She saw that the flames around the core of the firestorm were getting weaker and weaker. When that thing hit the ground, the most powerful layer of magical flames was forcefully weakened by half, reaching a level that Sim could completely withstand. Moreover, the magical flames around it were also extinguished. The Hezrou let out a wild laugh. It jumped up from the ground and swung its fists, smashing into the meteor.
Boom!
Hogness watched as his dimensional seal was broken. Sim proudly pointed her middle finger at him in the storm of flames and ashes. Then, she turned into purple smoke and disappeared from the world. The Siberian magic lion felt humiliated once again. In his furious eyes, two figures walked out from the forest not far away.
"Oh no!"
Strange's expression changed when he saw the old wizard in the sky. He could not help but whisper to Seiber, "This is troublesome. It's Wizard Hogness. I should've known. He's the only one who can seal the dimension so easily … You're in trouble."
"It's us!"
Saber pointed at the two of them, then looked up at Hognes who was slowly descending from the sky.
"Who is that? He looks like an old fart from two hundred years ago. "
"He's a very good fighter, and he has a bad temper. He's very old-fashioned, and he's like a rock."
Hognes angrily walked toward the two of them. Strange could not help but shrink his head and take a few steps back. He pointed at Saber and shouted, "Saber Hawk! How could you break into Master Hognes's seal so easily? Even if there's a misunderstanding, you shouldn't disregard the dignity of your elders. Quickly … apologize to the master! "
After that, Doctor Strange tried to signal Saber with his eyes. After a few days of interaction, he had a rough idea of Hognes' temper. However, Saber acted as if he did not see it. He stood there and looked at the old magician who was walking toward them with interest.
"Hey, old man, why are you chasing after my demon? Did it steal your lollipop? "
