The Last Dance

And so, led by the Wind Demon, the Water Demon, and the Earth Demon, the Blackheart thought he had left his location unnoticed, determined to reach Earth and obtain the so-called San Savatigan Contract. Little did he know that as he left, a pair of eyes were watching him with great interest.

With a "whoosh!" somewhere in the Hell Dimension, under the protection of the Wind Demon Wind Demon, the Blackheart's body passed through a spatial rift. The Blackheart himself did not feel any pain, but the Wind Demon was subjected to a slow and agonizing torture as it passed through the spatial rift!

In other words, the nature of the Wind Demon is special. It is a wisp of wind in hell that has given birth to consciousness. It is an intangible thing that has condensed a soul and a body. Otherwise, the Wind Demon might not have been able to withstand such torture.

Aside from the Wind Demon, the Earth Demon and Water Demon were unharmed, as their power was not limited by the Earth Dimension. The Wind Demon Demon's predicament stemmed from Wind Demon association with the Blackheart, a Hell Demon King, thus helping the Blackheart bear the consequences.

Soon, the Hell Quartet successfully arrived on Earth. The Blackheart emerged from the Wind Demon's body, flanked by the Earth Demon and the Water Demon. The Wind Demon, however, was in a sorry state, as his previous smuggling had taken a heavy toll on him.

However, Blackheart had no intention of paying any attention to Wind Demon. Even if Wind Demon had brought him to Earth, wasn't it only natural for Blackheart to have his subordinates serve him?

Besides, Wind Demon was only injured, not dead, so it's really no big deal!

Therefore, the Blackheart's gaze fell directly on the Earth Demon, his eyes gleaming as he spoke, "Since you know of the existence of the San Savatigan Contract, how should we find it?"

"My Demon King, I do have a lead. It is said that the San Savatigan Contract is in a cemetery, and the Guardian of that cemetery is the former Ghost Rider!" The Earth Demon respectfully looked at the Blackheart and said in a low voice.

"Ghost Rider?!" Blackheart was startled upon hearing this. Although he hadn't overheard Blackheart 'Mephisto conversation with the other Hell Lord, he knew a little about Ghost Rider. Therefore, when he heard that the Guardian of the graveyard was Ghost Rider, Blackheart couldn't help but Blackheart a little apprehensive.

Admittedly, after arriving on Earth, Blackheart felt that with his Demon King- level strength, he should be able to dominate everything. However, Ghost Rider are creatures that have intricate connections with the Hell Dimension, and Blackheart did not want such a setback to occur on his path to becoming a lord!

"Don't worry, Demon King, I've inquired. It's been many years since the last time the Lord made a contract and Ghost Rider appeared. Ghost Rider do have long lifespans, but if their connection with the Lord is severed and they can't obtain a new source of power, even Ghost Rider will eventually die of old age!" Earth Demon said hastily, seeing the Blackheart's fearful expression.

"Furthermore, Earthling who become Ghost Rider cannot transform into the Ghost Rider's appearance at all times. This is due to Earth's environment and the characteristics of Earthling. Ghost Rider have long lifespans, but the lifespan of their hosts is not much longer than that of ordinary people!"

"Therefore, judging from the timeline, that Ghost Rider is either already old, or he can only use the Ghost Rider's power one more time before he dies!"

"Is that so?" The Blackheart, who had initially been somewhat wary, instantly felt at ease after hearing the Earth Demon's words. With such a strategist who could devise plans and win battles from afar, how could the Blackheart not become a lord?

"Alright! In that case, you lead the way. I want to see how much power an old Ghost Rider can still muster!" Blackheart glanced approvingly at Earth Demon, speaking with some excitement. Blackheart really enjoyed striking while the iron was hot!

"Yes! Demon King, please follow me!" The Earth Demon's expression remained unchanged. He did not become arrogant or complacent despite the Blackheart's approving gaze. He still looked at the Blackheart with flattery and humility as he spoke, and then led the way.

Neither Robet nor Clark knew that Blackheart and his three henchmen had come to Earth. Robet had instructed Constantine to keep an eye on Mephisto, as neither Robet nor Constantine knew Blackheart, who was a complete stranger to them.

As for Clark, he was also keeping an eye on the Demon who had come to Earth Dimension. However, although there was only one gap in Earth Dimension Earth Dimension, the Demon did appear in more than one place after arriving.

Furthermore, this time, Blackheart and his three henchmen were truly smuggled into Earth. After arriving on Earth, they were not discovered by Clark. Especially when they first arrived, the Wind Demon, Earth Demon, and Water Demon did not look like any powerful beings; they were no different from other ordinary Demon.

In the middle of nowhere, there is a small church. Outside the church is a somewhat abandoned place, where only an elderly man is looking after it. Of course, "looking after" is a more accurate description than "retiring."

The old man's name is Peggy Carter Slade, the previous Ghost Rider. His lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary people. He made a contract with Mephisto 150 years ago to become the Ghost Rider, and he is now almost 200 years old.

That is, a trace of Ghost Rider's power remained in his body, which allowed Carter Slade to live until now. But even so, Carter Slade has reached the end of his life. This is the burial place he chose for himself. He was even prepared to lie down in the grave he had dug when he realized he was about to die.

"Should I contact someone? Otherwise, once I lie down, it seems like there's no one to help me seal the grave..." However, when Carter Slade lay down in the grave he had dug to try it out, he quickly discovered a blind spot he hadn't noticed before. He could indeed lie down in it, but once he did, his grave would still be exposed to the elements!

"So you were looking for someone to bury you. I'm quite good at this kind of thing. After all, sending people to their deaths has always been something I enjoy..." Just as Carter Slade was muttering to himself, a somewhat unfriendly voice rang out. Carter Slade's expression changed. He smelled a familiar scent, which made him instantly crawl out of the graveyard.

"A nauseating stench! Demon! This is no place for you! See that cross above? This is the territory of Heaven. God and Angel are watching you. This is a proper church, recognized by Heaven ... Hmm?!" Carter Slade said in a deep voice as he watched a Blackheart walk toward the graveyard, when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Originally, under the cover of night, the church faintly emitted a light, guiding the way for those who were lost in the darkness.

However, when the Blackheart appeared here, a wave of darkness pressed down. The church's light seemed weak in the face of this darkness, and could only put up a desperate resistance, and eventually, it could no longer even resist.

Soon, the church lights went out completely, leaving only boundless darkness. In the darkness, a terrifying figure appeared, like a Demon King staring at Carter Slade, ready to devour his body and life on the spot!

"It seems your God and Angel aren't very good. To be honest, if it were a more powerful church, I would be quite wary, but your church really doesn't look very impressive. It looks like a knock-off." Blackheart said mockingly to Carter Slade.

"Could it be that during the construction of the church, some god or other clergy deceived you, saying that the church here could ward off Demon? There's no way around it, it's like this. Lying isn't a power unique to Demon; whether it's humans or the Angel and gods you speak of, they can all lie!"

"You mighty Demon King Lord, you wouldn't have come to this desolate wilderness just for an old man like me who's about to die, would you?" Carter Slade's expression darkened slightly, but he quickly recovered and looked at the Blackheart, who exuded an evil aura in the darkness, and asked.

"You're very smart. If you can stay this smart, then you might still have a chance to live!" Blackheart said approvingly, smiling at Carter Slade.

"A chance to live?" Carter Slade scoffed at Blackheart's words, his voice dripping with mockery. "Why are you contradicting yourself, Demon King? You said you'd bury me, but now you're telling me to live? Don't you realize I don't have much time left?"

"I see that, but a person's death is not the end. For a special person like you, even in death, consciousness and soul can still be relatively well preserved. Tell me, when you arrive in the Hell Dimension, will you be considered dead or alive?" Blackheart's voice also carried a faint mockery, with a hint of threat. For Blackheart, he didn't intend to devour Carter Slade's soul. After Carter Slade truly died, what would happen to his soul was entirely up to him.

"Laugh!"

"Click!"

"Call!"

Just as the Blackheart finished speaking, three Dodge voices rang out from the darkness. Immediately afterward, the Water Demon, the Earth Demon, and the Wind Demon appeared beside the Blackheart Blackheart, whispering to him, "I'm sorry, Demon King, we found nothing..."

"Huh?!" Blackheart was furious upon hearing his three henchmen's words. He had kept Carter Slade Slay here to create an opportunity for his three men to find the San Savatigan Contract, but after talking to Carter Slade for so long, they hadn't found anything. What difference was there between them and trash?!

"Hahahaha!" Just then, Carter Slade on the other side let out a piercing laugh, followed by a mocking tone, "I didn't expect you to have three Elemental Demon by your side. I was wondering why there was any movement under my feet just now. So it was Earth Demon searching for its target. Now I know why you've come here. But since you know of its existence, don't you know that you have no control over my soul?"

"You're not hiding your identity anymore? Ghost Rider?" Blackheart squinted at Carter Slade Slye and said, "Of course I know who you are. I'm here for the San Savatigan Contract you possess. Hand it over to me obediently, or you will still be trapped in endless torment after your death. Your soul will not escape my grasp, for I am the son of Mephisto! Blackheart!"

"Huh?!" Upon hearing Blackheart's words, Carter Slade's pupils contracted slightly, then he became enraged. A surge of anger coursed through Carter Slade's body, transforming into tangible flames that engulfed his own body.

With a whoosh, in an instant, a Ghost Rider with a fiery skull appeared before the three Blackheart. He stared at them and, using his final transformation in his dance, said in Blackheart voice, "You! Are guilty!"

"Go!" Upon seeing Carter Slade transform into Ghost Rider, Blackheart's heart skipped a beat. Even though he knew Carter Slade probably wouldn't last long, Blackheart still had no intention of trying himself. He ordered his three subordinates in a deep voice, "Capture him and force him to reveal the whereabouts of the San Savatigan Contract!"

"Yes!" The three Elemental Demon did not hesitate at all and rushed towards Carter Slade's direction.

First to disappear was the Wind Demon, whose body merged directly into the air; next, the Water Demon vanished, his body sinking into a pool of sewage; finally, the Earth Demon remained, who could indeed merge into the earth, but the problem was, if he also hid, then it seemed that no one could fight Carter Slade Slye head-on.

They can't exactly let Blackheart, who's currently hiding in the back because he's afraid of Carter Slade's Ghost Rider transformation, take action, can they? Blackheart may be the strongest, but aren't his underlings there to fight alongside their boss?

With a loud "bang!", the Earth Demon grew larger and larger as it walked. When it reached Carter Slade Slay, Earth Demon had transformed into a three-meter-tall mini-giant and threw a punch at Carter Slade's head. Unfortunately, the punch was powerful but too slow, and Carter Slade dodged it and fell to the ground.

"Whoosh!" Just then, a large amount of flames erupted from Carter Slade's skull, blasting the Earth Demon away.

There was no clear-cut advantage or disadvantage between the flames and the soil, but the powerful flames still managed to burn a large hole in the Earth Demon's chest, through which lava seemed to be surging...
