Listening to Eiler's suggestion, Mephisto became extremely alert.
There was nothing to be afraid of a young man with some strength. Mephisto was sure that even if he was just a clone, he would be enough to defeat the other party.
But it would be different if this young man had a Supreme Sorcerer whose fame was known across multiple dimensions standing behind him.
Especially since Master Ancient One is old now, it would not be fun if she went to hell to find someone to take her life with her the day before she died.
Mephisto just hoped that the unlucky guy caught by the Ancient One as a scapegoat was not himself.
Therefore, when facing the young man who "carries the will of the Supreme Mage", Mephisto behaved very cautiously.
"This is my own family affair. Master Ancient One and his followers don't need to worry about it."
Mephisto has made it very clear that he doesn't want outsiders to interfere in his affairs with Blackheart.
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Eiler's face behind the mask, and his tone was even tougher than Mephisto's. "Sir, have you forgotten that this is Earth, the human world? Do you think Master Ancient One and I can watch a demon run around in its original form on Earth?"
After saying this, Eller took a step forward.
The human world has one more 'guardian'. Mephisto stroked the skull cane with his palm, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"If you want to take my son's life, I won't stop you." Mephisto said leisurely.
For this old devil who puts profit above all else, it doesn't matter who kills the Black Hearted Demon; what matters is who makes him feel at ease.
Right now, the 'Guardian' chosen by the Ancient One is right in front of Mephisto. It would be better for him to disappear now to avoid being found by the Ancient One.
Mephisto slowly retreated, his voice echoing from all directions. "In that case, I will return to Hell and await good news."
After saying this, Mephisto disappeared.
It is still uncertain whether this old devil will stay quiet, but the most important thing for Eller now is to wake up Johnny, because he will lead him to "find" the Black Heart Demon.
Eller put the unconscious Johnny on the Harley motorcycle provided by Mephisto and took Johnny to a safe place.
The orthodox Ghost Rider is a vengeful spirit from heaven combined with a human host, and is the "wrath of God" that punishes sin.
Johnny's power comes from the contract he signed with Mephisto. That old devil will definitely not take the normal route and give Johnny a spirit of revenge.
The most likely thing stuffed into Johnny's body is an elemental demon lord named "Zatanos". This demon was once tricked by Mephisto and was cast by Mephisto into the "Spirit of Vengeance" of Johnny Blaze.
Eller didn't know which one was stronger, this alien version of the Spirit of Vengeance or the genuine one, but he knew that the demon lord in Johnny's body was not someone to be trifled with.
Not long after, Johnny woke up slowly in a motel.
Johnny felt as if every bone in his body was hammered to pieces. Severe pain filled his whole body. He curled up like a shrimp and let out a painful wail from his throat.
"Fuck! What the hell is going on?! Why does it hurt so much?!"
Eller watched Johnny rolling on the ground in pain quietly, not daring to say anything for a moment.
After all, he was the one who forcibly interrupted Johnny's transformation...
After a long while, Johnny finally stopped wailing. He covered his head and sat on the edge of the single bed, then asked:
"Where am I?"
Maybe it was because he had been howling for too long, Johnny's voice became hoarse.
Seeing this, Eller threw a bottle of mineral water to Johnny and said, "This is a hotel outside the city. It's very safe."
Johnny took the mineral water, unscrewed the bottle cap and drank it all in one gulp. After a large amount of water entered his body, Johnny calmed down. His eyes fell on this mysterious man who seemed to be able to help him, so he asked.
"Who are you? Do you know something?"
"My name is Eller, and I'm your friend." Eller smiled and began to explain the whole thing to Johnny.
"Your mind may be confused right now, so let me briefly explain why I'm here before you. I received an invitation from a magician to help you get rid of the demon."
"A wizard's invitation? Why do you make it sound like a fairy tale? And getting rid of the devil? Did he sign a contract with me, or did he want to get rid of it?" Johnny asked while enduring the severe pain.
"The main target is the little devil that the old devil wants to get rid of. Also, they are actually father and son." Eller said in an ambiguous tone, "He directly appeared on Earth in his original form, which is an act of crossing the line."
"Wait, crossing the line? What is crossing the line?" Johnny Blaze felt like he had grasped something.
Hearing this, Eller replied, "Let me put it this way. Hundreds of years ago, a powerful magician drove most of the demons back to Hell and established a separate world from them. Since then, most humans have been able to live in peace."
"From what you said, there are also a few unstable people, right?" Johnny showed a self-deprecating smile on his face.
"Yes, just like you." Eller nodded. "That magician is hundreds of years old, and his deterrent power is not as strong as before. Therefore, some demons want to challenge his authority. Also, the billions of humans on Earth are precious to them. There is no demon who doesn't want to enter Earth and harvest souls."
Hearing this, Johnny took a deep breath, then clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "So, I was used as a test subject by that devil?"
"Yes." Eller nodded, "And now, he wants you to fulfill the contract."
"…" Johnny was silent for a while.
After calming down, Johnny began to sort everything out, and Eller reminded him at the right time.
"What demons are best at is creating misinformation about contracts, and then claiming that you've fulfilled the contract, and you have no way to refute it."
"Can I still save it?" Johnny asked bitterly.
"No." Eller shook his head, "The contract has already taken effect."
"So, I must help him kill the person he wants to kill? And why did my body become so hot?" Johnny asked again.
"Getting rid of that little devil is just the beginning. What he probably wants is for you to serve him forever." Eller looked at Johnny and said something very sad.
"What's even more painful is the power he placed in you. All your loved ones will stay away from you because of this power. If you get close to them, you'll actually harm them."
"In other words, if I want to get rid of this curse, I have to run towards hell without taking any relatives or friends with me." Johnny suddenly had an idea and thought of another way.
Hearing this, Eller smiled and said, "You finally grasped the knack of revenge against those bastards, but you must remember that your enemies are very strong."
"It's better than having no goal at all, right? Then I have one last question. Why am I in so much pain after waking up?"
"This one, I hit it."
"What?"
