Constantine had the ability to see ghosts and spirits, and at this moment he saw countless soul-catchers in black robes busy on the battlefield like hardworking little bees.
Many of them are his acquaintances.
"John Constantine, your soul belongs to us..."
A soul-catcher held a huge scythe in both hands and floated over like a Dementor. It was as light as a feather and circled around Constantine's body.
"You should have died long ago. This is your fate. Cheating fate is a grave sin."
Constantine was very calm. It was not the first time he had seen these annoying guys.
"Get out of here! You can't get anything from me." Even Satan can't take his soul. He is just a soul-catcher, what a shame!
The Soul Catcher cannot harm a living person unless that person is already on his deathbed.
Constantine had been on the verge of death many times. When he was about to die, the soul-cutter would come and take his soul, but he escaped every time.
This man fooled them again and again, which made many gods in charge of death very angry.
If he had done this, Constantine would have easily died, but he was very cunning and sold his soul to many people, not only demons, but also many creditors in the divine world.
If there is only one creditor, the debtor may be in constant fear, but when the creditors are spread all over the world, the debtor becomes the boss and no one can touch him.
Because the creditors themselves will become a mess, and they all want to collect what belongs to them.
Through careful design, Constantine wove a perfect debt network for himself, and the debt collectors formed a subtle check and balance among each other, allowing him to live freely.
But this does not mean that there is no price to pay, because the creditors still tolerate him because they are all waiting for Constantine to die.
When the day comes for Constantine to die, all his creditors will make him understand what cruelty is.
"I sense that there are at least three gods on this battlefield. Aside from Ares, the identities of the other gods are unknown."
There was a wizard in the team who seemed to be good at perception. He could "see" the shadows of several gods at the scene, but he could not tell their identities.
"What are you going to do?"
"Our previous arrangements were aimed at Ares, and we were not prepared to deal with other gods."
"We need more people."
"Who are you going to look for?"
"demon."
This suggestion did not surprise anyone, including Constantine, who also liked to use the power of Hell in many events.
Everyone worked together and quickly drew a magic circle to summon Demon 757.
"What level of demon do I need to summon?"
"Preferably at the lord level."
"Our previous plan already included lord-level demons. Are you sure you want to increase the number of demons?"
If it was just a lord-level demon, everyone could still use the power of magic contract to restrict the other party.
The magic contract is something that gives the party with weaker magic power a chance to counterattack the party with stronger magic power. Otherwise, both sides will just show off their magic power before the fight starts.
But magic also has its limits. Once this limit is exceeded, absolute power still has the ability to determine the fate of the world.
Several spellcasters are not ordinary people, but controlling multiple lord-level demons is still very difficult, so they would rather choose a stronger demon than increase the number of demons.
Therefore, at this time, someone took the opportunity to put forward new suggestions.
"Everyone, I suggest that we summon a stronger demon and have it deal with all the old gods at once."
"But, are there such demons in hell?" someone asked.
Even if the old gods who descended were not very powerful in the short term, their numerical advantage still existed.
Especially Ares, the god of war, is likely to have complete strength on the battlefield.
What kind of demon could possibly rival this surly god who nearly killed his father?
Constantine was also curious.
Chapter 631: Three Palace Demons Appear
The wizard who made the suggestion did not say the name of the demon, but just gave everyone a smile that showed that everything was under control.
Constantine immediately understood that the other party did not want to reveal the devil's real name.
Just like what mortals know, in the world of magic, a true name represents great power, especially the true name of a demon, which is a sharp weapon to bind them in the hands of a spellcaster.
Skilled spellcasters can even use true name binding to drive demons to work for them. Solomon was once a leader among them.
With his own strength, he was able to control seventy-two demons and make them obey his orders. This was an unimaginable great achievement in the history of magic.
But the real name of the devil is difficult to know, because this name is related to their life and soul, and it will never be revealed to others easily.
Therefore, when a wizard learns the devil's true name, he will even help the devil keep it secret and pass the name down from generation to generation.
Knowing a demon's true name allows one to command it, so it is a great asset.
It is not uncommon in the magical world for a magical family to be founded on the true name of a demon.
Obviously, Constantine regarded the person who made the suggestion as a member of the family that had passed down the devil's true name from generation to generation.
There are many names of demons circulating in the world, such as "Satan" and "Beelzebub", which are names familiar to humans.
But this is not the real name, but the simplified pronunciation of the real name, which is the result of translation based on human language. Hell actually has its own language, called demon language.
The devil's true name is naturally woven in the devil's language. The devil's true name is usually very long. When the caster recites the true name, it is like reciting a spell.
Speaking of which, Constantine also knew the real names of many demons, which he had obtained through deception and various means.
If the real name of the demon is known when summoning it, the binding force of the magic contract will be stronger, which is beneficial to the caster.
The wizards present were all elites in the magical world and could certainly understand this logic. Therefore, after some discussion, everyone agreed to this suggestion.
But in order to prevent the summoner from having any bad intentions, everyone took precautions in advance and signed a magic contract with him, stipulating that he could not use the summoned demons to harm them.
Although these wizards had previously denounced Constantine, in fact, they were no better than him.
Backstabbing teammates for profit is a common practice for many dark wizards. Therefore, it is necessary to sign a non-harming agreement in advance.
Before coming again, they had signed another contract, and Constantine also signed his name.
This is also the reason why, despite being condemned by everyone, he can still stay with a thick face.
Bound by the contract, everyone was not worried about the possibility that he would deliberately harm them, but was more worried that his bad luck would affect them.
"Since everyone agrees, I will start summoning demons~々."
No one objected, and the summoner drew some runes on the demon summoning circle on the ground, transforming it into an exclusive magic circle.
The basic forms of the demon summoning circle are basically the same, all of which use an inverted pentagram as the starting magic form. In the magical world, an inverted pentagram means the spirit is pointing downward, which leads to hell.
On this basis, runes related to the demon to be summoned are engraved, and then the real name is called out with a spell, and a specific demon can be summoned.
Therefore, an experienced and knowledgeable wizard can tell what kind of demon to be summoned by the runes on the magic circle.
It just so happens that Constantine is an expert in demonic magic. He has summoned countless demons from hell and has many acquaintances.
But he couldn't tell which demon the summoner was going to summon. It wasn't until the other party finished writing all the runes and the ceremony began that his face changed.
"No! You're summoning extra-dimensional demons!"
Demons are also divided into internal and external. Although the hell demons attached to the current world are also called foreign demons, from the perspective of dimension, they are their own people, while the demons outside the dimension are invaders.
At Constantine's reminder, all the spellcasters realized that something was wrong: "Who are you summoning?"
Although the devil's real name cannot be told to you, the devil's common name in the human world can be told to you.
But the summoner turned a deaf ear to the questions of his companions and just recited the spell wholeheartedly. He recited the long string of spells very quickly.
"Stop him!" Someone realized that there might be something wrong with him, shouted, and rushed forward.
The others also rushed forward at the same time, but as they approached each other, a powerful repulsive force suddenly erupted, sending everyone flying.
"He put a protection spell around himself!"
This also meant that the other party had planned this in advance, and everyone felt a dark cloud hanging over their hearts.
At this moment, the sound of the spell suddenly disappeared, and the summoner finished chanting the spell.
In an instant, a monstrous demonic energy burst out from the magic circle, shooting straight into the sky like a pillar.
The demonic energy was so strong that it could even be seen with the naked eye. Not only the spellcasters who witnessed it all saw it, but also the two warring parties.
"What is that?"
Something unexpected happened on the battlefield, and both sides stopped attacking at the same time and turned their attention to the beam of light.
In the deep demonic aura, three pairs of huge eyes were looming.
When Constantine saw these unusual eyes, his face immediately darkened.
"Sangong Demon!" He called out the demon's name.
"Hahahahahahaha, this is what the world tastes like!"
The evil energy gathered inwards and gradually solidified into a gigantic body. It was red all over, with black hair draped over its shoulders and two horns winding upwards on its head. Its imposing presence was intimidating.
It’s the Three Palaces Demon!
"Master, congratulations on your return to the world!"
The previous summoner knelt down respectfully and bowed deeply to the red demon that was five meters tall.
"You are very good and qualified to be my servant."
Sangong Demon sensed that he was on the battlefield at this time, and in a happy mood, he bestowed a little of his magic power.
Rich magic power dripped onto the summoner like liquid, causing drastic changes all over his body. His limbs were alienated under the influence of the magic power, and his limbs began to twist and grow.
In just a moment, he turned into a demon with two horns on his head and possessed the strength of a lord.
At this time, it not only possessed far more powerful power than before, but also had almost eternal life.
Backstabbing teammates and abandoning their human identity for what? Isn't it just for this?
Therefore, the newly promoted lord-level demon is grateful to the Sangong Demon. Before he has the strength to resist the Sangong Demon, he will be the Sangong Demon's most loyal dog.
"Damn it! This guy turned into a demon!"
The other spellcasters who came to the battlefield with him cursed loudly.
Chapter 632 Call for support
After becoming a demon lord, the summoner had sharp eyes and ears. He heard what the spellcasters said, turned around and gave everyone a terrifying grin.
"What did we risk our lives to come to this battlefield for? Isn't it just what I have now?"
He said sarcastically, "Since I now have an easier way to achieve my goal, why should I risk hunting down the Old Gods?"
Constantine remained calm at this point. He asked, "You must have paid a heavy price to summon the Three Palace Demon, otherwise it wouldn't have granted you such powerful strength."
Sangong Mo is definitely not a reasonable demon. He gave the other party power but did not do anything to him. It must be because he would get more than he paid.
"The price?" The summoner-turned-demon sneered. "I thought you, as a trickster, would understand. I've already paid the price."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Three Palace Demons took action.
He opened his mouth and inhaled, a violent wind swirled around him. A huge amount of magic power instantly filled the entire battlefield. All the spellcasters, including Constantine, fell to the ground under the powerful pressure, unable to even lift their heads.
Constantine barely opened his eyes in the strong wind, and his yin-yang eyes suddenly widened.
He saw that above the battlefield, countless dead souls gathered into a column of wind like a tornado, curling towards the mouth of the Three Palaces Demon.
That demon, he's devouring the souls of those who died in battle!
And it wasn't just the souls of the dead, even the soul catchers on the battlefield couldn't escape his predation and were devoured by him.
"Fuck!" Constantine cursed in his heart and was very anxious.
He now understood what the summoner meant. He chose to summon the Three Palaces Demon on this battlefield, targeting the soldiers here and the dead souls on the battlefield from the very beginning!
He sacrificed everyone here except himself!
On the battlefield, the Three Palaces Demon swallowed up the souls that did not have time to enter the underworld. After a while, all the souls wandering around were sucked up by him.
His behavior of eating alone also attracted the attention of other beings, but the Three Palaces Demon was obviously not full yet, and his appetite was insatiable.
