The black sand from near to far is covered with broken rocks, which is completely different from the dark red rocks in other places.
And here, a huge black throne stands quietly.
Mephisto, the Lord of Hell, sat on this throne, resting his head with his hands in boredom.
It was unknown how long it had been before a tattered figure walked towards him step by step.
When Robbie Reyes finally stood before the Lord of Hell, the two stared at each other, and the moment was almost frozen...
"As promised, I am here."
Mephisto sat up slightly, with the corners of his mouth curled up, and said sarcastically: "You didn't fulfill the agreement, Duke is still alive, are you trying to deceive the great Lord of Hell?"
As he spoke, he suddenly leaned forward, his huge head came in front of Robbie, and said with cruel eyes: "Do you know that I will take away the souls of everyone who tries to deceive me and make them suffer!"
Robbie, without a single flame on his body, just stared at Mephisto with his dark eyes, unmoved at all.
Seeing his reaction, Mephisto, feeling bored, leaned back on the throne and waited for him to speak.
"The so-called spirit of vengeance was originally created by God, right?"
Mephisto didn't care at all when Robbie suddenly revealed such a shocking secret. "Congratulations, you got it right."
Who would have thought that the Ghost Rider, with his hideous face and using hellfire and chains as his means of attack, was not actually created by the devil, but was something God created to judge the sins of the world.
Or to be more precise, God created the spirit of vengeance, and in the long years that followed, Mephisto collected some spirits of vengeance and began to use them to trade with humans.
The truly immortal one is not the Ghost Rider, but the spirit of vengeance within his body!
"I found the stone tablet. There are many things recorded on it. For example, the spirit of vengeance can only be erased by God. So this game will never end. Am I right?"
After many twists and turns, Robbie finally found the truth and the way to kill Ghost Rider.
But... God
How can he find God if he doesn’t even know where the door to heaven is
So here he came, to find Mephisto to end this endless farce.
"You are both right and wrong. The Spirit of Vengeance can only be killed by God, but Ghost Rider cannot. Don't confuse the two."
"And since you can show up here, you won't let me down."
Mephisto finally showed some interest. As for the stone tablet that Robbie found... How could he, who was omniscient and omnipotent in hell, not know that he had left that thing on purpose.
Just like playing a game requires task instructions, that stone tablet is the task instructions for this game!
So Robbie raised his head sharply and said, "Take it out. Something that can really kill the Ghost Rider. Since you let me see what's on the stone tablet, it proves that my guess is correct!"
Since there are already quest instructions, there should also be quest items!
If a game cannot be completed, then it is garbage!
Mephisto suddenly started laughing, finally... the game finally became interesting.
When he finally stopped laughing, he looked at Robbie seriously again and said, "This will be another deal. What do you want in exchange?"
"You have the final say in the entire game, so why waste time talking? Just take whatever you want!"
"No, everyone needs to abide by the rules of the game. Even I won't break them easily." A cunning look flashed in Mephisto's eyes.
Haha, he is just the GM who comes to play the game himself, how fair!
When Robbie left again, he had a white dagger in his hand. It was a sacred weapon made by the angel Randkiel using heavenly paving bricks. It could not only cause substantial damage to the Ghost Rider, but also forcibly separate the Spirit of Vengeance from the host!
It's true that the Spirit of Vengeance can't be killed, but who says Ghost Rider is unkillable
Robbie tightly grasped the obsidian handle below, ready to find Duke and settle this feud once and for all.
As for what he paid...
. . . . . . . . . . .
Just after Robbie left, an unexpected person walked out from behind Mephisto's huge throne.
It was none other than Duke, the person Robbie wanted to kill!
Although he has not been able to find the stone tablet that serves as a guide for the mission, after realizing that he cannot kill Robbie no matter what, the more cunning he becomes, he goes directly to Mephisto, trying to break the rules of the game!
In other words, it’s not really breaking the rules of the game, but rather skipping the task instructions and going directly to the person who posted the task.
"Have you learned all the spells I taught you?"
Mephisto spoke calmly.
"Reporting to the great Lord of Hell, we have already gained preliminary knowledge, but why did you agree to that guy's request?"
Duke, who originally thought he had won, is now a little flustered. He is very confused as to why Mephisto would agree to Robbie's request if he had already agreed to his request
Victory was clearly within reach, but now it was forced to be a 50-50 situation.
This made him hate Mephisto in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it.
Mephisto just glanced at him indifferently, causing him to lower his head quickly.
"How can I do this? Do I need your permission?"
"No, I don't dare!"
Seeing him like this, Mephisto's expression became even more disdainful.
Mephisto hopes that this game can bring him some fun, and he likes the feeling of controlling other people's lives even more, so he naturally dislikes players like Duke who are lucky enough to get something by sheer luck.
The reason why he was taught those spells that could cause damage to Ghost Rider was just to make the game more interesting.
Now Robbie and Duke are finally standing on the same starting line again, which is naturally the result of his behind-the-scenes manipulation.
In terms of equipment, Robbie, who holds the sacred dagger, is undoubtedly stronger.
But Duke took the initiative. If Robbie hadn't been prepared, he might have been killed!
Now it depends on who of the two has better means.
"Go ahead, I'm looking forward to the final result, don't let me down." Mephisto retracted his gaze. After the result of this game is decided, the next round of bigger game will begin. He is looking forward to that day.
So Duke was kicked out.
"Just wait, Mephisto. Sooner or later, I will rip out your heart with my own hands!"
"But before that..."
Duke, feeling furious, started chasing in the direction Robbie left.
