"You can't just ignore these words!"
Colin looked at Mephisto with a determined mind and said something, but soon, he said casually: "But forget it, whether you really knew it in advance or said it on purpose, the moment you jumped out from the darkness, the ending was already determined."
"Hey, it's been three minutes, it's about time!"
He turned and looked at Wu Xinmo.
"Ah, all right!"
Wu Xinmo responded from the side, and in the next moment, a ripple flashed in all directions, and the battlefield surrounding them seemed to be isolated from the real world.
Colin looked at it, and his tense heart relaxed a little.
This magic circle has no name. It was temporarily created by him and Wu Xinmo based on their respective knowledge and has only one function, which is to blockade.
Not only on the material level, but also on the spatial level.
Although he had shouted that everything would be fine if he did it when he found out something was wrong with the magic circle, in reality, without Wu Xinmo's help, he really couldn't set up such a magic circle by himself.
Of course, those are irrelevant now. After the magic circle is activated, if you want to leave this area, the only way is to destroy the magic circle.
In addition to him who had made secret arrangements in advance, well, perhaps there must also be a witch demon who can directly dispel the magic circle. Even for Mephisto, it would take at least some time.
And they would never give him this time.
Mephisto remained calm the entire time, and even when the formation was activated, it seemed as if it was something he had expected.
He leaned on his cane, looked around in the darkness, and said with some disappointment: "Is this the trump card you guys are going to use against me?"
"Although I, an old man, did not bring much power with me when I came to the human world, the injuries you guys have suffered in order to lure me out, and your nearly exhausted physical strength, are not fake."
"If that's all you want, and you want to send me back to hell... Young man, you're overestimating yourself and it's easy for you to end up in the hands of this old man!"
Mephisto stroked his staff with both hands. Although his tone was still calm, one could hear the murderous intent hidden in it.
Ke Lin ignored him, but frowned at Wu Xin Mo and said, "I say, who are you trying to show off to by still looking like you're about to die?"
It was true that Wu Xinmo was seriously injured before, but they had another contact in the small town. In addition to discussing the details of the cooperation, the most important thing was that Wu Xinmo took two bottles of healing potions and two bottles of magic recovery potions from him as the basis for cooperation.
Once used, it won't recover immediately, but it won't be in such a dead state. Now that Wu Xinmo is doing this, it feels like he's letting him step on a landmine first.
"You think it doesn't take any strength to activate the magic circle?"
Wu Xinmo said this unhappily, but he still slowly raised his aura a bit.
Colin watched and sneered secretly. He used magic power to shatter the bottle of full recovery potion hidden in his stomach. He instantly recovered to the most perfect state. At the same time, he warned Wu Xinmo: "This is different from the previous time when we dealt with the knight. If you dare to do anything weird again, don't blame me for unlocking the magic circle and running away. I believe that even if Mr. Mephisto wants to make trouble for me, he will come after you."
"Of course I know this." Wu Xinmo nodded, squinting his eyes as he looked at Ke Lin's reborn right hand and his perfect aura, and said meaningfully: "It seems you have a hidden trick."
"Don't talk like you don't have any trump cards!" Colin said coldly, "Go ahead! Wait until the battle is over before you say anything!"
A bone spear shot out, and at the same time, Wu Xinmo also followed suit and attacked.
But in the next moment, a sense of crisis suddenly came to Colin's mind. He dodged to the side and saw a burning chain flying past his head.
"so close!"
He exhaled slightly and looked in the direction where the chains came from.
"It seems that you, Mr. Mephisto, have not done nothing!"
Johnny recovered his fighting ability earlier than they expected. Obviously, this was Mephisto's doing.
"I took advantage of you guys' time to make some preparations, but it seems that you are better than me. Can you tell me how you recovered so quickly? There are not many ways that I can't even detect."
Mephisto asked with narrowed eyes.
The fact that Colin and Wu Xinmo were able to recover did not surprise him. After all, the power of the potion had been exposed in the previous battle. He saw that the man and the demon might cooperate and would show up again, so he was naturally prepared for this.
Johnny is the most important point. He deliberately destroyed the magic circle set up here. In addition to wanting to obtain some information, the more important thing is to attract attention and buy time to eliminate the two people's erosion of Johnny, and suppress Johnny's own will and turn it into his own combat power.
Even if they drank the potion to recover immediately, he was sure that he could defeat them before they fully recovered.
But now it seems that things have gone too far.
Not only can this wizard with a strange heritage recover to his most perfect state as if time were turning back, but his son, who has been under his watch, is also more skilled than he expected.
"Unfortunately, I have no intention of answering the enemy's words." Colin said lightly, turned his head, and looked at the Witch Heart Demon, whose momentum was getting stronger and stronger than when he first fought. He asked calmly: "I will stop the knight, and Mephisto will be in your hands. Is that okay?"
"Of course, I have a lot to say! I want to have a good talk with my dear father!"
Wu Xinmo smiled and responded with a surge of demonic light in his eyes.
After seeing this, Ke Lin smiled and said, "OK! Then I won't disturb your sweet gathering with your father and son, but don't delay it too long!"
He waved his hand and came to Johnny's side. Looking at Johnny who had lost consciousness and kept trying to rush to the battlefield over there, he shook his head and said, "I can't let you get there so easily. Now, you better stay here!"
…
The battle continued, and in the lightless darkness, all kinds of miserable screams that were not like human words were heard.
As Mephisto's last breath disappeared, Johnny, who had been in a stalemate with him, seemed to lose power and collapsed to the ground in an instant.
"Hey! A full half hour! To be honest, I don't know what the grudge between you and your father is, but it's a bit too long!"
Looking at the Wu Xinmo whose aura was slightly weakened appearing over there, he said with a little dissatisfaction.
"Thank you so much this time!"
Wu Xinmo ignored Colin's words. After saying something seriously, he waved his hand and unlocked the magic circle used for sealing.
Colin looked at it and his eyebrows twitched violently.
"I say, are you sure your father is dead? Don't come up with some disgusting plot of faking his death and getting away with it!"
"Of course!" Wu Xinmo showed a ferocious smile, "I ate him alive bite by bite!"
Colin listened and subconsciously got goose bumps all over his body. After coughing twice, he skipped the topic and said, "Since you said he's dead, then he's dead. What we need to deal with now is this guy."
As he said that, he kicked Johnny who had fainted on the ground, and said with a headache: "Is there a way to kill him or seal him? This should be good for you too."
"It's impossible to kill him with our current strength." Wu Xinmo thought for a while and said, "Even if we kill him and burn him to ashes, in the dark night, Zatannos will reshape his body for him."
"But it shouldn't be a problem to keep him from using his strength for a while."
As he spoke, Wu Xinmo took two steps forward and chanted a spell for a long time. A solid black chain then wrapped around Johnny's body.
Colin watched from the side and roughly understood Wu Xinmo's spellcasting concept. He found a similar sealing method from the inheritance and imitated him by reciting the spell for a long time, which turned into a somewhat illusory fishing net and wrapped around it.
"Well, I'm not very proficient in this area."
He looked at it and said with a blushing face.
If the power of Wu Xinmo is one thousand, then he only used one.
But this cannot be blamed on him. After all, it was the first time he used this secret method, and being able to use it successfully was already quite good.
"Let's not talk about this. How long do you think you can seal him?"
Colin asked, changing the subject.
"Three to five months, or one to two years. It depends on the knight's mental state." Wu Xinmo said, then paused and said, "How are you going to deal with him? Just leave him like this?"
"Ah, someone will naturally come to take over this trouble." Colin said, but he glanced towards the outer edge of the dark sky.
The dark sky has no effect on these monsters and demons, but it is still quite useful for ordinary mortals. At least Mr. Hawkeye, who can only keep spinning in circles on the spot, can't see through it.
"Let's skip those irrelevant topics for now. Although there are some 'minor frictions' between us, we are not enemies so far. I believe that there will never be a day when we meet again, so..."
Colin took out a player and placed it on the ground. Wu Xinmo looked at it with some confusion and asked with some caution: "So what?"
Colin pressed the play button, and accompanied by a gentle and sad music, he raised his body and said, "Didn't you just thank me? In order to avoid the uneasy conscience caused by not being able to repay this gratitude because we will never meet again, I will give you a chance to do me a small favor and repay this gratitude."
Wu Xinmo listened and his face twitched violently.
After a while, he looked at Ke Lin and said, "Let's not talk about whether I still have a so-called conscience or why I should help you. What's the matter with this music?"
The sad sound of the erhu made him feel like his head was about to explode.
"Didn't I tell your father before that I would play a piece of music for him after he died, and wait for him to come to me in his dreams and give me his opinion? This song, 'Erquan Yingyue', is a song I found on the Internet." Colin answered with a shrug.
Wu Xinmo said expressionlessly: "You told me that at the time!"
"Oh? Haha, same thing. It seems like I'm talking to you, but I'm actually talking to your hidden father."
Ke Lin laughed it off, but Wu Xinmo's eyes turned fierce and he said in a cold tone, "I don't think there is anything false in your intention to kill me."
Colin paused in his joking tone as he looked at me, then said seriously, "Ah, it's really too fake to say that you don't want to kill me. Even now, if I have the chance, I will kill you without hesitation."
"But..." Colin suddenly smiled and said, "There is no chance. Since we can't kill him, let's not add any more hatred. Let's part ways peacefully. Ah no, this word is a little bad, but that's the meaning anyway."
"Or..." Ke Lin's eyes suddenly became dangerous: "Do you want to continue fighting with me now!?"
"No, I don't have any intention of continuing to fight with you." Wu Xinmo first denied the idea of continuing to fight, and then quickly continued, "But there is no need for me to help you."
"Anyway, that's it. I hope we'll never see each other again!"
As Wu Xinmo spoke, his body began to fade and disappear. Colin watched and quickly stretched out his hand to stop him, saying, "Wait, okay, I know you don't want to help me for nothing, so how about I give you a bottle of magic recovery potion as a price? After all, all you need to do is to help me cover up my identity and traces. Even without you, I will at most be a little troublesome!"
Wu Xinmo's body gathered again, turned around, and said, "Ten bottles."
"Ahem..." Colin was choked by his saliva. After a long while, he said speechlessly, "You don't talk business like this. Besides, do you know how many magic materials are needed for a bottle of magic recovery potion? How much is the cost?! Ten bottles, you can't even rob them!"
"Two bottles at most, or you can leave now!"
Wu Xinmo listened, looked at Colin for a while, and suddenly smiled and said, "Deal."
Colin listened, nodded with some pain, took out his phone from his backpack, and said, "I'll send a text message to those guys who have been following me and ridicule those bastards. Then I'll go abroad. I don't believe they can find me."
As he spoke, he found Joseph's name in the phone's address book and began editing it.
"To be honest, it's annoying to be under surveillance all the time, so Joseph, I decided to disappear from SHIELD's sight for a while. But at the same time, in order to avoid being found, this phone number will no longer be accessible.
The purpose of sending this message is just to inform you and tell you not to worry. After all, you are now under the surveillance of SHIELD, and I cannot give you the contact information, otherwise it will not be hidden from those guys with sharp noses.
As for how long it will disappear, it depends on the situation, but it will not exceed two years at most.
So SHIELD, you bastards who read this text message!
If anything happens to my friend while I'm away, you guys can expect my bloody revenge!!!
Colin Black."
Looking at the edited text, he clicked send. As the notification of successful sending came, Colin threw the phone into his backpack and said to Wu Xinmo who was waiting not far away: "Now that we have dealt with the chores, let's set off!"
PS: I’m always looking for recommendations!!!
A 4,000-word chapter! This is also a way to make up for the chapter I owed a few days ago.
The first volume is now completed. Well, I originally wanted to write a postscript for the end of the volume, but after thinking about it, I decided to put it together with the remarks for the release of the book.
Daily recommendation!!!
(End of this chapter)
