After the dust settled, the elegant figure leaning on a cane appeared before the two 'Knights'.
Mephisto, like a kind elder, gently said to Johnny, "The contract is over, Johnny..."
"No, Mephisto, this isn't over yet!" Johnny and Zarathos's voices overlapped as they declared war on Mephisto together.
"We will burn until you are pulverized, until the Universe ends!"
Johnny knew that as long as Mephisto was alive, he would be at the mercy of the Old Demon, while Zarathos's thoughts were simpler: he just wanted to kill Mephisto's entire family.
Listening to this vicious vow, Mephisto's brow furrowed slightly, then he asked, "I didn't expect you to condescend to cooperate with a human? That's not like a noble Elemental Demon Lord."
"Mephisto, it's not like before, and Demons should be unscrupulous, wouldn't you agree?"
Zarathos was very familiar with Mephisto's tactics, knowing that he was only trying to make him and Johnny fight amongst themselves, but he wouldn't fall for it; he could even retort to Mephisto.
At this moment, Ailer also said from the side, "Aren't you leaving? Or do you want to meet the Sorcerer Supreme?"
Hearing Ailer bring up the Sorcerer Supreme, Mephisto finally felt worried.
The name of Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One was a barrier for all Hell Demons; no one wanted to offend her while she was still alive.
Mephisto was one of them.
But fortunately, Sorcerer Ancient One was still a human, and her lifespan had limits.
As long as Sorcerer Ancient One died, and the next Sorcerer Supreme couldn't reach Ancient One's level in a short time, Mephisto would have plenty of opportunities to harvest souls.
Before that, a small loss was just a small loss; it could all be recouped later.
Mephisto calculated this in his heart, keeping the two young men in mind as he slowly retreated, saying:
"I hope you remember this unforgettable night; one day in the future, past nightmares will come for you."
The two listened to Mephisto's riddle-like threats, but they were unimpressed.
If 'nightmares' couldn't come knocking, wouldn't the curse be broken?
Not long after he finished speaking, Mephisto disappeared from their sight.
Before long, dawn broke.
Sunlight spread across the land, and Johnny transformed back amidst painful burning; in the days to come, there would likely be many more opportunities to transform, so he was also learning to overcome the pain.
Ailer, as usual, threw Johnny a bottle of ice Water, which the latter drank heartily.
After enjoying the refreshing coolness, Johnny let out a comfortable shout, "Awesome!"
"After today, you'll have to buy your own ice Water," Ailer said after Johnny finished his Water.
"Are you going somewhere else?" Johnny was still very grateful to this person who had helped him unconditionally, so he was naturally curious about their sudden separation.
Hearing this, Ailer smiled slightly, then replied, "My journey continues. Now that Blackheart is dead and the San Venganza Contract is in my hand, it's time for my next stop."
"Next stop? Where will you go?" Johnny asked.
"I might go back to New York, or I might go join in the fun if I see some strange news. In short, I like excitement and challenges."
Ailer also transformed back at this moment; he put his Booster Buckle and driver back into his dimensional pocket. He fully enjoyed the sunlight after the battle, took a greedy deep breath, and then asked Johnny:
"What about you? Where will you go?"
"That guy can guide me; wherever there's a trace of Demons, I'll appear."
Johnny pointed to his head; the 'that guy' he referred to was Zarathos.
"How about this, then, take down my number. If anything happens, find me." Then, Ailer recited a string of numbers.
Johnny wrote down the string of numbers and also gave his own phone number.
Transforming into Ghost Rider, though painful, would not damage Johnny's personal belongings. Items like clothes would even be strengthened by Hellfire, so keeping a personal phone was fine.
After this, Ailer and Johnny returned to the cemetery. Johnny went to sweep his biological father's grave, while Ailer was called aside by the Old Cowboy.
The Old Cowboy leaned on a new shovel, his gaze directed at the sky in the distance. With Blackheart dealt with and a new Ghost Rider born, he seemed relieved and said to Ailer:
"It's good to be young. The era of us old people has passed; some things can finally be entrusted."
"Old people's bones are also very strong," Ailer replied. "It will still take some time for us young people to grow up."
Hearing this, the Old Cowboy adjusted his hat, then smiled mysteriously and said, "What if your growth speed accelerates?"
"What does that mean?" Ailer asked, puzzled.
"Although I am a flickering candle in the wind, I can still leave some things for future generations." As he spoke, the Old Cowboy glanced at Johnny, then said, "I have some things he can't use, but... you might be able to."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Old Cowboy raised his hand, and with a 'whoosh', a ball of Hellfire appeared in his palm.
"Hellfire?" Ailer asked, confused.
"This thing is useless to me now, so I'm taking it out to see if you can use it. At worst, it'll just go into the coffin with me," the Old Cowboy said with great openness.
The Old Cowboy had lived for over a hundred years; he had already let go of many things.
Looking at the constantly flickering flame, an idea popped into Ailer's mind.
So, Ailer took out the Booster Buckle, which hadn't finished cooling down.
The moment the Booster Buckle appeared, the Hellfire in the Old Cowboy's palm showed a tendency to move.
"It seems to really like that little gadget in your hand," the Old Cowboy said with a smile.
"In that case, I'll accept it." With that, Ailer activated his ability and injected the Old Cowboy's Hellfire into the Booster Buckle.
After the Hellfire entered the Booster Buckle, Ailer personally saw several cracks appear on the Booster Buckle, and light the color of lava emerged from the cracks. This was a manifestation of the Booster and Hellfire beginning to fuse.
Hellfire was a very powerful force. Ailer could feel that the fusion time between Hellfire and the Booster Buckle wouldn't be too long. Even more fortunately, Ailer could also summon Propulsion Vanguard, and the Zeal Buckle could also produce a Booster.
After entrusting the Hellfire, the Old Cowboy's eyes lit up, and he then exclaimed, "It seems this power has found a suitable Master."
