Ancient One clenched his fists and raised them high, then slammed them down on the top of Mephisto's head.
'boom!'
Mephisto plummeted downwards like a meteor.
"Again!!!"
A burst of golden Mana erupted beneath Ancient One's feet, instantly increasing her speed and catching up to him in the blink of an eye.
She curled her legs up and delivered a fierce rabbit-and-eagle kick to Mephisto's lower back.
'Click!'
Mephisto's spine snapped, and he flew out at a 90-degree angle.
Ancient One's face flushed, and her eyes shone with an astonishing brightness.
"Ah~ this long-lost comfort~~~" she murmured in ecstasy.
Then, she shot out a ' Crimson Bands of Cyttorak ' from her right hand, which wrapped around ' Mephisto's' right ankle.
"Whoosh~"
Mephisto was pulled back like a cannonball and then crashed heavily into the Earth's Magic Defense Formation.
The golden-red Defense Formation lit up immediately, with countless Secret Rune flowing and dancing wildly.
'Sizzle~ Pop~'
Numerous golden bolts of lightning appeared and surged wildly across the intruder, ' Mephisto '.
"Ah!!!"
Mephisto was immediately electrocuted, his limbs twitching and he let out screams.
Soon, the Demon Body emitted billowing black smoke and a burnt smell.
Mephisto, on the verge of death, looked at the Ancient One hovering above and said resentfully, "Ancient... One... you have no martial ethics!!!"
You will pay a heavy price for everything you've done today!
With that, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, Asmodeus's head exploded instantly.
Mephisto's consciousness lost its vessel and was sent directly back to Hell.
"Phew~~~" Ancient One let out a long sigh of relief. She cracked her neck and let out a triumphant shout, "Awesome!!!"
Richard, who appeared out of nowhere, said:...
Upon sensing fluctuations in Earth's Magic Defense Formation, he immediately rushed over from the Crimson Dimension.
As a result, just after being moved outside the Magic Defense Formation, they saw Chang Wei attacking Lai Fu...
Uh, it was the Ancient One beating up Mephisto!
Now, Richard was in a dilemma: leaving was wrong, and staying was also wrong.
At that moment, Ancient One turned around and saw Richard, and couldn't help but blush.
"Cough cough~"
She coughed lightly, took out a folding fan, opened it, and fanned herself with a 'whoosh' sound.
Richard, when did you arrive?
Richard touched his nose and chuckled dryly, "Just arrived, just arrived."
"Is that so..." Ancient One narrowed her eyes, looking at him dangerously. "What did you just see?"
Richard hurriedly waved his hands. "I didn't see anything!"
Ancient One closed her eyes slightly and remained silent for a while before closing her folding fan.
"Just pretend you didn't see anything."
Then, she pointed to the Demon Corpse on the magic circle, which was billowing black smoke and emitting a burnt smell. "This is Mephisto's negotiator; he wants to redeem the Blackheart once again."
"Hmm~" Richard stroked his chin thoughtfully, "It seems that Blackheart's good-for-nothing son is really very important to Mephisto..."
Ancient One nodded. "Our last guess was probably right. Mephisto's control over the rules of Hell was incomplete. Blackheart was an important 'trigger' for him to completely control Hell."
Richard clapped his hands and said, "Excellent! This time, we'll start with Old Mo's Hell Dimension to make an example of the surrounding Dimension Lord!"
The last four words he spoke were filled with murderous intent.
However, the Ancient One, standing to the side, said rather irritably, "I think you're after the Death Rule that were taken from the Hell Dimension..."
Richard quickly chuckled and praised, "Teacher is brilliant! My little tricks never escape your discerning eyes!"
Ancient One shook his head and sighed, "Very well, the Earth's Underworld can't stay adrift forever."
Richard raised his hand and grabbed Asmodeus's charred corpse, instantly pulling it in front of him.
"This demon is not dead yet..."
Ancient One raised her hand and placed it on Asmodeus's charred chest, feeling the faint vibrations.
"His name is Asmodeus, High-tier Male Incubus with half-human, half-demon blood."
" Male Incubus?!" Richard's eyes widened slightly. "That's quite rare..."
"I wonder if his half-human blood comes from his mother's or father's side..."
Ancient One withdrew her hand, smiling teasingly, "Want to know? Then revive him and ask him yourself."
"That's simple..." Richard said dismissively.
He pointed his finger at Asmodeus's 'corpse', and the charred outer skin instantly cracked.
'Snap! Snap!'
A new layer of demonic skin quickly replaced the constantly cracking and peeling charred outer layer.
Immediately afterwards, the exploded head seemed to regenerate as if time had reversed.
The Ancient One watched in shock; she sensed no energy fluctuations from Richard...
In other words, the method by which the other party revived Asmodeus was not Magic, nor any method she was familiar with.
The Ancient One couldn't help but ask, " Richard, what kind of trick is this?"
"Just a little trick~" Richard said with a reserved smile, "One of the unexpected gains from this trip..."
"This is no small feat!" the Ancient One exclaimed in astonishment. "With a single thought, Matter Reconstruction..."
"This is a power that only a true Deity could possess!"
At this moment, Asmodeus slowly opened his eyes.
His sky-blue eyes looked at Richard and the Ancient One.
"I'm alive...?"
Richard chuckled and asked, "What, are you disappointed that I'm still alive?"
"No, I'm very happy," Asmodeus said, slowly sitting up.
His enormous bat wings spread out behind him, flapping twice to stabilize his body.
Then, he bowed deeply to Richard: "Thank you for saving me, powerful stranger Sorcerer."
At this moment, the Ancient One introduced him, "His name is Richard, the current Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj."
Richard looked at the Ancient One speechlessly, putting on a wronged expression. "Temporarily Sorcerer Supreme! Temporarily, a temporary worker..."
Ancient One said irritably, "You brat, I'll prepare an abdication ceremony for you when we get back."
Richard quickly waved his hand and said, "Teacher, please don't!"
"Earth is currently under attack by Dimensional Deity; this is not the right time!"
"It's thirty-six now," the Ancient One said calmly. " Mephisto said before he left that he would personally lead the Hell Legion to Kamar-Taj, to see Blackheart off."
Unexpectedly, Richard's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He exclaimed in surprise, " Mephisto has personally led his army to Earth?!"
"Great! Hahaha~ Old Mo, that eternal tortoise, finally promised to come!"
Richard gave a thumbs-up, his face full of admiration, and said, "You truly are a teacher! I was just worried about how to lure out Mephisto's true form, but you directly solved this biggest problem for me!"
Ancient One shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with me. You created this situation, which gave him the courage."
"After all, being besieged by Dimensional Deity... this is a spectacle that only happens once in billions of years."
"Who said it has nothing to do with you?!" Richard walked over to the Ancient One with a grin and gently massaged her shoulders.
" Mephisto wouldn't have gotten so angry if you hadn't given him that beating just now, would he?"
"Teacher, you deserve all the credit!"
"Really?" Ancient One gripped her folding fan tightly, and said quietly, "But didn't you just say... you didn't see anything?!"
Richard:...
Cold sweat instantly soaked his back.
