Sometimes, when an embarrassed person pretends not to be embarrassed, it's others who end up feeling awkward.
However, this trick often doesn't work.
Like now.
Stark and Mike ungentlemanly burst into laughter. Mike merely grinned, but Stark was practically doubled over, shaking with mirth, "Hahaha, if Hell is full of such amusing guys, I feel like going to Hell might actually be acceptable…"
Blackheart's paper-white face instantly darkened.
An embarrassed person often ends up in a fit of rage.
That's what you call not being able to take a joke.
If you can't take it, don't play!
Blackheart roared, "Kill! Kill them, leave no one, tear them all to shreds!"
With a heated head, he came to Earth in his true form. A slight embarrassment, followed by a fit of rage, caused him to completely forget his initial and most important goal: finding San Venganza. To be honest, aside from the power his lineage granted him, Blackheart perfectly avoided the qualities and magnanimity a king should possess.
Such a person, if he were to barely ascend to a throne, would be considered unworthy of his position. Sooner or later, he would be pulled down.
A subordinate dies if his lord is shamed… For demons, that doesn't exist. If they had such high awareness, how could they have fallen from Angels to demons?
However, it's perfectly fine to help the master punish a sinner.
Water Demon and Wind Demon attacked simultaneously.
Stark seemed to have been waiting for this moment for a long time, eagerly saying, "Leave the goatee to me."
The goatee was the Wind Demon, and he was closer to Stark, becoming Stark's chosen target.
The Wind Demon's lower body transformed into wind, and he lunged at Stark with bared fangs and claws.
Stark raised his hand and fired a palm energy cannon.
Boom!
It was a direct hit.
The Wind Demon was directly dispersed, then quickly reformed in the air, revealing a mocking smile.
Water has no form, wind has no shape.
Attacks without magic properties did little damage to the Wind Demon.
Mike: "Tony, are you up to it?"
"Damn it, I was just testing the energy cannon! How dare you doubt me! Let me show you the big guy." Stark opened a briefcase he carried with him.
Earlier, when Mike asked what it was, Stark had been secretive, saying he'd know when the time came.
Now, the "time" had come.
Stark opened the briefcase. After a series of mechanical clicking sounds, a short-barreled cannon appeared in his hand.
"Jarvis, switch to capture mode."
"Yes, sir."
As the Wind Demon charged again, Stark operated the cannon, firing a spider web.
"Trying to catch wind with a spider web, hahaha…" the Wind Demon shrieked.
He stopped abruptly.
Because it wrapped him up, the Wind Demon plummeted from the air, crashing hard onto the ground.
The Wind Demon found he couldn't elementalize.
He panicked.
He tried to remove the spider web from his body.
But the spider web was not only sticky but also incredibly tough.
As a result, it wrapped tighter and tighter, like a small insect caught in a spider web.
"Jarvis, switch to attack mode."
"No problem."
The cannon emitted a sound wave-like attack.
"Ah!!!"
The Wind Demon let out a shriek, lasting less than a second before disintegrating. This time, the Wind Demon couldn't reform.
Stark wiped non-existent sweat from his faceplate and waved his hand, saying, "Good thing I was prepared."
Actually, he was incredibly pleased.
Coulson, holding his pistol, said with a hint of tension, "It's done."
"Put your gun away, that caliber…" Stark shook the cannon in his hand, smugly saying, "A man should use a cannon this thick."
Coulson said helplessly, "Be serious."
Stark: "How would I know? Banner and I designed it, and this is its first actual combat. But it seems to work well."
On the other side, the Water Demon couldn't fly like the Wind Demon. His speed was significantly slower.
Before the Water Demon got close, Mike drew his sword.
One-Sword Style: Egret!
Even though he hadn't used the Zoro Possession Card, he could use it perfectly. It seemed the one-thousand-dollar-per-hour usage fee wasn't wasted; the experience was learned, and once his physical attributes reached the required level, he naturally used it.
The Flying Slash cut the Water Demon in half.
The cut was as smooth as a mirror.
The Water Demon, split in two, let out two strange laughs, then turned into water with a gurgling sound and seeped into the ground.
It was clear that the Flying Slash was also ineffective against the Water Demon.
Stark returned the exact words: "Mike, are you up to it?"
Apparently, he didn't know the 'Tony' meme.
"Damn it, I'm also just testing moves." Mike's reply was similar to Stark's, and he felt like giving Stark a critical hit: "Jarvis, explain the 'Tony' meme to Tony."
Jarvis: "Wouldn't that be too cruel?"
Despite saying that, information about "Tony" immediately appeared on Stark's display screen.
Tsk, tsk, Xiao Jia, you've become naughty.
Mike spoke, but he didn't let his guard down.
Suddenly, he spun around and struck with his sword.
Stabbing towards Carter.
Carter was startled but couldn't react in time.
Then she realized Mike's sword passed through the gap between her arm and ribs.
Stabbing the Water Demon, who had silently emerged halfway from Carter.
A single strike through the throat.
Demons are cunning, so the Water Demon chose Carter, who appeared to be the weakest, as his target.
Heh heh… Those five injured priests were the weakest, okay? Followed by Coulson.
He had no discernment whatsoever.
He deserved to be hit.
Actually, from beginning to end, the Water Demon never escaped Mike's perception; no matter who he attacked, it was destined to be futile.
The Water Demon tried to use his old trick, turning into water again.
However.
A small flame emerged from the sword piercing his throat.
Then it expanded.
"Ah!!!"
The Water Demon let out a scream even more agonizing than the Wind Demon's.
"Garuda Flame is indeed effective against demons, and not bad at all. Don't think that only Hellfire exists in this World. Nether Ghost Fire, Red Lotus Karma Fire, Nirvana Fire, Lapis Lazuli Pure Fire, Samadhi Fire, Grand Yin True Fire, Grand Sun True Fire, Polaris Heavenly Fire, Nine Heavens Profound Fire, Southern Bright Separation Fire… Learn about them."
Mike had never seen the above flames, but that didn't stop him from boasting.
The Water Demon was annihilated in the Garuda Flame, leaving not even water vapor behind.
Blackheart was indifferent to the deaths of the Wind Demon and Water Demon; even if he could save them, he had no intention of expending power to do so.
This is what demons are like, usually extremely selfish.
Only the Garuda Flame that Mike finally displayed caught his attention.
But it was only limited to attention.
Blackheart had never wavered in his belief in victory.
"As humans, I must admit, you truly didn't do enough, you are worthy…" Blackheart saw Mike and the others suddenly look behind him.
In the distance, a burning motorcycle carrying a flaming skeleton sped by, leaving a trail of fire. In the dark night, it was as dazzling as a lighthouse.
Soon, everyone could already hear the roar of the Ghost Rider's Hell Cycle.
Suddenly.
The Hell Cycle lifted its front wheel, and its exhaust pipes spewed out raging tail flames.
The next second.
The Hell Cycle, it lifted off the ground and flew into the air.
"Holy crap!"
Mike shouted a warning: "Get out of the way, quick!"
Who knows what Blackheart was thinking, but he extended a hand, and black gas spewed from his palm, attempting to stop the descending Hell Cycle.
However, he underestimated the Ghost Rider's power.
As a result, the motorcycle rode right into his face.
The scene was extremely satisfying.
Why didn't he dodge?
Did he think rolling around wasn't elegant enough?
Then he deserved to have a motorcycle ride into his face!
The Hell Cycle rolled over Blackheart without losing speed.
Fortunately, Mike warned them; although they were a bit disheveled, they managed to avoid it.
