A Minor Boss Appears Midway

Wes calmly pulled a small sphere from his robes.

The moment the sphere appeared, a pair of nimble wings sprouted from it, and it fluttered freely around Wes.

Wes then activated the Rune on his robes.

The Rune shone with dazzling golden light.

"Biu~~biu"

Streams of water shot toward Wes at incredible speed like bullets leaving a barrel, carrying fierce momentum.

Wes reacted with extreme speed, vanishing in an instant and using teleportation to evade the attack.

Seeing this, Wind Demon swept his hands, stirring up an utterly violent gale.

For a moment, the wind howled. Pebbles and gravel, empowered by the gale's force, turned into cannonball-like projectiles and tore toward Wes with murderous force.

Under the savage pincer attack of the two devils, Wes could only barely hold on.

His robes blocked several attacks for him at crucial moments.

However, the golden Rune's glow gradually dimmed beneath the successive impacts.

"Has the cowboy gotten senile? He can't even take down one opponent."

As Wes nimbly weaved through the demons' attacks, dodging left and right, he could not help complaining.

Just then, the roar of a Shotgun rang out across the chaotic battlefield.

Carter had dealt with Earth Demon and arrived.

Wind Demon was unable to dodge in time and was instantly shot down.

"Immobulus!"

Seizing the opportunity, Wes cast a Freezing Charm that struck Water Demon below with perfect accuracy.

Frost spread from Water Demon's feet at an astonishing speed.

In the blink of an eye, it covered Water Demon's entire body, successfully restraining him for the moment.

Without hesitation, Wes rushed toward where Wind Demon had fallen.

Carter swung the long whip in his hand, the weapon cutting through the air with a whoosh as it viciously lashed at Wind Demon.

Wind Demon was fairly agile and dodged the fierce strike.

"Petrificus Totalus!"

Wes cast another spell, successfully limiting Wind Demon's movements.

The sphere that had been floating beside Wes shot out with a "whoosh~~," trailing a string of illusory afterimages as it raced toward Wind Demon. It accurately struck him in the middle of the back, making his body jolt.

"Nicely done, Wizard!!"

Carter seized the moment. With a flick of his long whip, it coiled tightly around Wind Demon like a living serpent. Then he yanked hard, dragging Wind Demon before him.

"Look into my eyes, you bastard!!"

In that instant, Wind Demon's eyes met Ghost Rider's.

An expression of extreme agony appeared on Wind Demon's face. He opened his mouth as though he wanted to let out a pained howl.

Yet only silent terror spread through the air. Then his body turned to ash and vanished without a trace.

That was the terror of Ghost Rider's Eye of Judgment. Anyone who met his gaze would have their soul judged. Those with sins would ultimately meet the miserable end of being reduced to ashes.

"I didn't expect working with you to be quite pleasant, Wizard!"

Carter's flaming skull slowly turned toward Wes.

Wes hurriedly looked away. He knew very well that he could not exactly be called innocent.

"There's one devil left." Carter lowered the brim of his hat, battle flames burning in his eyes. "I wouldn't mind taking out another."

Water Demon watched helplessly as Carter approached him step by step, and terror began to rise in him as he desperately tried to break free.

At full strength, Water Demon was confident he could easily escape.

But in his current state, he could barely protect himself.

Carter suddenly grabbed Water Demon with both hands. Under the constant scorching of the flames on his body, the frost covering Water Demon gradually began to melt.

"Accept judgment—"

Before Carter could finish, a sudden, powerful attack sent him flying. His body slammed heavily down at Wes's feet.

Wes instantly became alert, his gaze fixed tightly on the man descending from the sky.

The man's eyes were pitch-black, like endless abysses, and his entire body radiated a deathly aura that made one's skin crawl.

The moment Water Demon saw him, it was as if he had seen a savior in the depths of despair. He hurriedly hid behind him.

Hellstorm coldly glanced at the dead Earth Demon and Wind Demon, then cursed, "Trash."

Water Demon was so frightened that he fell completely silent, not daring to make a sound.

"Wizard, hand over the Sanctum Sanctorum Contract, then submit to me."

Hellstorm crossed his arms, looking like an arrogant monarch.

"Devil, the human world is not a place where you can do whatever you please." Wes held up his wand and pointed it straight at Hellstorm. "This is the Sorcerer Supreme's territory."

Upon hearing the title Sorcerer Supreme, Hellstorm could not help feeling a trace of apprehension.

But when he thought of how obtaining the Sanctum Sanctorum Contract would grant him power surpassing his father's, allowing him to become the new Lord of Hell,

even the Sorcerer Supreme would be unable to stop him. The flames of greed and arrogance reignited within him.

"The Sorcerer Supreme? So what? Once I—"

Wes had no patience to listen to a devil spout nonsense. He raised his hand and fired a powerful Sectumsempra.

However, the attack had no effect when it struck Hellstorm. Instead, it completely enraged him.

"Cunning Wizard."

Hellstorm roared, and a black sphere filled with evil power instantly shot toward Wes.

Wes reacted quickly and knocked the black sphere aside with a spell. It smashed into a nearby tree.

The moment the tree touched the black sphere, it withered and died at a visible speed.

A sly expression appeared on Hellstorm's face.

Wes's mouth twitched as he thought, An ability that devours life. I absolutely cannot let it hit me.

Carter had already risen to his feet and immediately began firing relentlessly at Hellstorm.

Taking the chance, Water Demon transformed into a rushing torrent and charged at Wes.

Wes had no choice but to turn and deal with Water Demon's attack.

"Incendio!" and "Immobulus!"

Fire and ice magic had become the perfect methods for dealing with Water Demon.

This time, Water Demon had learned his lesson. Rather than confronting Wes head-on, he chose to entangle him, preventing Wes from joining forces with Carter.

Relying on his immortal body, Carter fearlessly suppressed Hellstorm.

"Old dog, how dare you attack your master?" Hellstorm snarled in humiliation and rage, continuously cursing Carter. "You're nothing but an old dog abandoned by my father!"

"You're Mephisto's son??"

Hearing that, Carter showed a shocked expression. He had not expected this devil to have such an identity.

"Old dog, give up resisting, and then I can—"

Carter answered Hellstorm with even fiercer, more concentrated attacks.

"Die, Devil. Killing you will count as collecting a little interest."

Carter's Shotgun seemed to contain an endless supply of bullets. Its roars rose and fell, echoing throughout the empty wilderness.

"Old dog!!"

Hellstorm was completely enraged. Unable to maintain his previous composure any longer, he revealed his hideous, terrifying demonic form.

"Fool." Carter seized the opportunity and stared into Hellstorm's eyes, shouting, "Accept judgment!"

But to Carter's utter shock, the Eye of Judgment did not catch Hellstorm's soul.

"The fool is you." Hellstorm sneered and swung his right hand, instantly piercing through Carter's chest. "I have no soul."

"How is that possible?"

"I'll deal with you first. Then that Wizard. And finally, my arrogant, high-and-mighty father."

Just as Hellstorm was smugly reveling in his triumph,

a motorcycle with a rugged, domineering design, sleek and powerful lines, and hellfire blazing across its entire body streaked forward like lightning and violently rammed Hellstorm away.

The motorcycle spun stylishly in place on the ground before coming to a steady stop.

A rider with a flaming skull stepped off the motorcycle and pulled Carter to his feet.

The two flaming skulls stared at each other.

"Kindred." *2
