Lord of Cinder in American Comics

On the swamp, Ghost Rider rode his motorcycle slowly across the water. Fortunately, the vehicle's inflicted hellfire enchantment allowed him to drive on any surface, preventing him from having to dive through.

The slow movement was also because Ghost Rider sensed the unique aura of a demon, and he carefully observed his surroundings to prevent anyone from sneaking up and attacking him.

The vehicle was traveling on the water, and the hellfire boiled the water beneath it, with bubbles rising continuously and obscuring the view below the motorcycle.

The water demon, using the bubbles as cover, arrived beneath Ghost Rider.

The water in nature forms a natural barrier between the water demon and the hellfire, allowing him to avoid direct contact with Ghost Rider.

Furthermore, the unique advantage of the boiling water bubbles allowed him to get close enough to Ghost Rider to a dangerous distance.

The slowly moving Ghost Rider felt his speed getting slower and slower, and even seemed to be coming to a standstill.

Ghost Rider instinctively twisted the throttle to provide the motorcycle with more power, but the rear wheel seemed to be stuck, emitting a mournful sound of friction between the engine and the drive chain.

Ghost Rider looked back and saw that the water in the swamp had filled every inch of the rear wheel, making the machine difficult to operate.

And just as he turned around, the water surface suddenly exploded, white water columns appeared around Ghost Rider, and the water demon pounced from the other side, directly pulling Ghost Rider into the water.

The Water Demon led Ghost Rider to deeper waters. Although it was a swamp with only a shallow layer of water, the Water Demon could turn it into an abyss if he wanted.

In the young demon's mind, water and fire are incompatible; even hellfire can be extinguished with enough water.

So the water demon used all its strength to create its own unique territory here.

But the water demon with Ghost Rider felt increasingly uneasy. How could he have dived so deep without any change in Ghost Rider, and instead the water temperature was getting higher and higher?

Looking at Ghost Rider, the hellfire in his eyes seemed to mock his overestimation of his abilities.

Ghost Rider reached out to grab the Water Demon, but in the chaos, the Water Demon released Ghost Rider, letting him sink to the bottom. He then watched Ghost Rider.

However, Ghost Rider unleashed the power of hellfire, instantly vaporizing the entire area.

The underwater evaporation caused what appeared to be a mine explosion, resulting in artificial rainfall in the area.

Taking advantage of its unique ability to blend with water, the water demon transformed itself and appeared on the water's surface before moving to another location.

No sooner had he left than an explosion occurred, the heat dissipated, evaporating a large area of ​​swamp and turning it into solid land.

Ghost Rider was pulled out of the water by his motorcycle. He shook his head to expel the water from his head and began searching for the Water Demon.

However, the Water Demon seemed to have vanished, never appearing in Ghost Rider's sight, only creating water mist in the shadows to obscure Ghost Rider's search.

The skull started grinding its teeth, as if Ghost Rider was spouting some kind of trash talk.

Without the water demon's control, and with the motorcycle's rear wheel off, Ghost Rider began speeding across the swamp.

Hellfire began to spread haphazardly along the wheels, scattering across every area, and the amount of fire increased.

Gradually, the Water Demon sensed something was wrong. Ghost Rider was riding in circles, and the trails left by Hellfire were evaporating the swamp, shrinking his range of movement.

Feeling that he could not wait any longer, the Water Demon controlled all the water elementals in the swamp, creating a gigantic body for himself, and attacked the Ghost Rider.

Just like the water elemental summoned by Jaina, the Water Demon transformed into a water elemental himself, reaching a height of over thirty meters, and swung his small fists down at the Ghost Rider.

Ghost Rider twisted the throttle, narrowly escaping the water elemental's fist's attack range. The soil behind him exploded like a bomb, quickly passing Ghost Rider and striking him in the back.

The damage was negligible to Ghost Rider; he tore off his chains, swung them around, and then stopped.

Why is the iron chain in my hand so different from the one in front of me? The entire length of the iron chain isn't even enough to make a necklace for the water elemental that the water demon has transformed into.

As if sensing Ghost Rider's predicament, the water elemental raised its foot and stomped down in this direction.

With one hand gripping the chain and the other driving the motorcycle, Ghost Rider moved toward the other leg of the water elemental. The chain was imbued with hellfire, emitting a dangerous orange-red glow.

The motorcycle, controlled by Ghost Rider, lifted its nose and then crashed into the water elemental's leg, using the water elemental's body surface to start moving.

Just as the Survey Corps used the 3D Maneuver Gear to circle around the Titan, Ghost Rider circled directly around the water elemental's body.

The enormous size resulted in slow movement; no matter how the water elemental reached out, it couldn't catch the ants on its body.

The water demon frantically tried to control his body, and finally he simply gave up on this attack, preparing to revert to his original form and rely on his agility to start fighting the Ghost Rider.

But just as he was about to dissolve his water elemental body, he found that he could not control it at all.

The panicked water demon then realized that Ghost Rider's chains had already been planted inside its water elemental body.

Like the bandages of a mummy, the chains, under the influence of hellfire, stretched infinitely, wrapping around the water elemental and creating a suit of chainmail for it.

Stopping in front of the water elemental, Ghost Rider's head made a cracking sound, as if it were both a warning and a mockery.

As Ghost Rider pulled the chains in his hand, the water elemental's chainmail emitted high temperatures and tightened continuously, imprisoning the water elemental within its body.

The burning and evaporation of hellfire forced the water demon to turn into water vapor amidst its wailing, providing only a negligible contribution to atmospheric circulation.

In the town of San Venganza, the Blackheart Demon, standing at the crossroads of the main road, had been waiting impatiently for hours, maintaining this pose to display his demon king status.

He hadn't expected the water demon to be able to stall for time so long. It wasn't until he heard the water demon's death wails that the Blackheart Demon tugged at his clothes to make them smoother.

As the flames drew closer, Blackheart stomped on Carter Slye, causing him to let out a wail.

This sound provided Ghost Rider with a location. As he approached Blackheart, the flames on Ghost Rider's body gradually subsided, finally revealing Johnny Blaze's human face.

Johnny pulled out the San Venganza Contract from under the car seat and approached Blackheart with the contract in hand.

Seeing Johnny approach, Blackheart threatened, "Stop! If you transform, he'll be dead! Hand over the contract!"

Carter Slade, his face scraping the ground, struggled to lift his head and looked at Johnny, saying, "Never mind me, Johnny, transform and take him down!"

Johnny looked at Carter Slade, suppressing his excitement, and said calmly, "Let him go first..."

As Johnny spoke, he stretched out the contract in his hand, sensing the number of souls within it. Blackheart became excited and kicked Carter Slade aside.

Although the soul fluctuations within the contract were weak, the power of hell was unmistakably present on it. The Blackheart Demon assumed this was a result of the seal and simply reached out to accept the San Venganza Contract.

Blackheart's hand landed on the San Venganza Contract, intending to take it, but found that Johnny's hand wouldn't let go.

The joy on Blackheart's face vanished instantly. He looked up and saw that Johnny had transformed into Ghost Rider.

The two sides were tearing at the contract, straining against each other, but fortunately the contract was made of solid material and was not destroyed in the struggle.

Ghost Rider somehow learned to throw punches, took a step forward, and smashed it towards Blackheart Demon's face.

Although the hellfire couldn't cause any damage, the impact of the punch still landed squarely on Blackheart Demon's face.

The contract was discarded by both parties, and Ghost Rider began to unleash his wild, unruly punches on Blackheart Demon.

Enraged, the Blackheart Demon shoved the Ghost Rider in the chest, sending him flying. The hellfire shattered and scattered haphazardly across the ground.

Ignoring Ghost Rider, Blackheart only had the San Venganza Contract in his eyes at that moment, and he turned around to pick up the contract that had fallen to the side.

Unexpectedly, this time Ghost Rider used chains to wrap around Blackheart's neck and dragged him over.

Blackheart lay on the ground, looking at Ghost Rider above him; their postures were somewhat awkward.

"Look me in the eyes!"

The Eye of Judgment was triggered, and the Blackheart Demon began to tremble and incessantly perform its own version of painful wails.

This scene seemed familiar. Ghost Rider ignored Blackheart's performance and began to tighten the chains in his hands.

However, the Blackheart Demon floated up from the ground, grabbed the chain around his neck, and used it to swing Ghost Rider around.

Ghost Rider became the hammerhead of the chain, indiscriminately smashing everything around him amidst the Blackheart Demon's rampage.

Carter Slade lay motionless on the ground like an injured old man, with only Johnny in his Ghost Rider form bearing the brunt of the damage.

Meanwhile, Diao Chan (crossed out), and Geralt is currently on his way on horseback.

"Alright, alright, why are you angry with it? You're bigger and stronger than it, your fur is softer, and you can even run freely in the sun. Can it do that? Stop being angry..."

Geralt lay down on Carrot and patted its neck to comfort it.

The source of Radish's anger was another horse running alongside them. With each gallop of its hooves, hellfire surged forth, spewing from its nostrils like a flamethrower as it panted.

'He's really handsome!'

Chapter 273: Self-Destruction

Geralt rode on Robert and Catsley's mounts, traveling along the road until they finally stopped outside the town of San Venganza.

In the town, Johnny, transformed into Ghost Rider, is fighting Blackheart. Although it's a one-sided beating by Blackheart.

The fierce competition in Hell produced only one Son of Hell, and Blackheart's ability to utilize his power far surpasses that of the newly promoted Ghost Rider.

In particular, the existence of authority made him immune to the damage from Hellfire, which amplified this advantage to an extreme degree.

It's still early before dawn, so letting Ghost Rider get beaten up for a while longer isn't a big problem.

Geralt stood outside the town, concealing himself, wondering when Carter Slytherin would make his move.

However, that old guy Carter Slade was just lying there motionless, pretending to be dead. Even his mount had its hellfire extinguished and was wandering around outside the town.

Hill arrived incredibly fast. Without hearing a sound, two plumes of air rose up around Geralt, kicking up dust, before the optically stealthy Quinjet appeared beside him.

In the still of the night, if it weren't for the flames from the Quinjet's engine, you wouldn't even notice any trace of this aircraft.

Hill only withdrew his hand from the cabin wall after the plane's engines were completely shut down.

Reaching Geralt's side, Hill asked, "Aren't we going to fight? If things get really bad, we can evacuate first. I've prepared a nuclear weapon..."

Geralt, looking at the flickering flames in the distance, said, "Wait a little longer. Carter Slade hasn't made a move yet, and Blackheart is still playing around. Let's leave the original plan unchanged for now and wait until he absorbs some of the souls..."

Hill didn't say much, and quietly waited with Geralt, after all, Geralt was the main force now.

Hill covered her left hand with her right hand, preparing to remove the ring from her finger, but she kept twirling the ring on her finger without making up her mind to take it off.

Looking at Geralt's profile, Hill hesitated whether to swallow the ring; fantasy items were far too few for S.H.I.E.L.D. to use.

"It's alright, you can keep it. It's not anything too valuable, but be careful not to show it off in front of the mage..."

Geralt's words reached Hill's ears, making her somewhat puzzled. If a hunter could intervene as a mediator in the battle between Ash and Constantine, why was he worried about revealing certain items?

Hill rubbed the ring face with his fingers, and the dragon pattern on the ring face gave Hill a clue.

Geralt unscrewed a bottle of the Water of Life, bringing a touch of warmth to the cold night. After pouring half a bottle for himself, he handed it to Hill.

Geralt said, "The Dragon Academy used to be the rulers of spies. It is said that they have many very good spies, who are magicians who hide in the shadows and cannot be seen in the light."

Dragon Academy has changed its format; spy training has been canceled. To avoid misunderstandings, don't reveal yourself in front of them. Of course, I'm referring to Constantine and his teachers; the younger mages today have no idea about the past…”

Hill was still somewhat incredulous that the secrets of the past had appeared in his hands. He simply turned the ring face 180 degrees to hide it.

In the town, the Blackheart Demon, gripping the chains, swung Ghost Rider around like a runaway yo-yo, treating him like a toy and swinging him haphazardly through the air.

Everyone standing outside the town could see Ghost Rider helplessly drawing various shapes in the sky, and even Blackheart Demon sped up, sketching out his own emblem.
