The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 23 Mysterious Magic Circle
Their group was too conspicuous. Soon, several priests slowly walked out of the temple.

The priests were dressed in strange clothes, as if they had walked out of an ancient mural from the last century. Their clothes were simple and old, with strong traces of time.

"May I ask what brings you here?" A weather-beaten pastor with a wrinkled face spoke first. His voice was a little hoarse, but it carried an indescribable solemnity.

Weiss took out an exquisite quill pen without hesitation.

The old pastor immediately took it with his trembling hands. His eyes shone with excitement, and he said in a slightly trembling voice, "Is this the pen?"

Weiss nodded calmly.

"I've finally waited for it." The old pastor was filled with emotion, his weathered face full of relief and anticipation. "Please follow me."

Weiss and the others followed the old pastor and slowly walked into the mysterious church.

The construction date of this church is difficult to trace, but the oil paintings on the walls are brightly colored and lifelike, as if silently telling the thrilling events that happened in the past.

The first painting depicts a hideous devil and a group of terrified humans, who seem to be entering into some unknown mysterious contract.

The second painting shows a quiet and peaceful village. The life scenes of the people in the village are warm and beautiful, and the faces of the villagers in the picture are filled with happy and satisfied smiles.

The third painting is a solemn church where many villagers are praying devoutly. Their focused expressions seem as if they are confessing their inner desires to God.

The fourth painting shows the reappearance of the devil. The souls of three thousand villagers were ruthlessly sucked away by it and sealed in a mysterious contract. However, for some unknown reason, the crucial contract was mysteriously lost.

The old pastor stretched out his hands, which were as dry as branches, and gently stroked the mural, muttering, "I have finally waited for this day."

"Is this the original village?" In response to Wes's question, the old pastor nodded heavily to confirm.

"They are finally home." The priests began to recite the unknown scriptures in a low voice. The sound of the scriptures echoed in the church, filled with a mysterious atmosphere.

"Do you know how to deal with this contract?" Coulson asked with a puzzled look on his face.

The priests all shook their heads, confused expressions on their faces.

"What should we do now? The devil is about to catch up with us." someone shouted in panic.

"Devil?" When the priests heard this word, they panicked instantly, and their eyes were full of fear and strong anxiety when they looked at each other.

"Quiet!" the old pastor shouted loudly. He looked at Wes expectantly, as if waiting for Wes to make up his mind.

Weiss slapped his forehead helplessly and sighed, "I knew it." Then he turned around and asked, "Coulson, when will the things I want arrive?"

Coulson quickly checked his watch and said, "Right away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening mechanical roar was heard outside the church.

Wes hurried out to take a look. Wow, he saw all kinds of excavators, bulldozers and other large equipment. The scene was quite spectacular.

"What are you waiting for? Start working immediately and have them build according to the blueprints. Not even a single inch can be off." Wes ordered loudly.

With the church as its center, a huge and complex magic circle slowly began to take shape.

I have to say that the people sent by Nick Fury are really powerful.

They asked no questions from beginning to end, and no matter how strange or incomprehensible Wes's requests were, they all carried out strictly without saying a word.

With the help of the priests who worked tirelessly to paint the magic patterns, Wes's work became much easier.

After everyone's efforts, the huge magic circle was finally completed before dark.

Weiss then released his control over the agents, and everyone else evacuated in an orderly manner.

But Coulson and the old pastor insisted on staying.

"How much do you earn working so hard?" Wes asked jokingly.

Coulson shrugged and said calmly, "It's hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, including bonuses."

"It's up to you, but don't think I'll protect you." After saying this, Wes turned around to do a final check.

The sun slowly set, and the afterglow in the sky gradually dissipated. When the last ray of sunlight completely disappeared, darkness enveloped the earth.

The Witch Heart Demon flew over like a ghost from the distant horizon.

There wasn't even a trace of injury on his body. Not only that, the aura he exuded was even more fierce and frightening than before.

It turned out that he had ruthlessly devoured the treacherous water demon, thus recovering from his injuries.

The Witch Heart Demon slowly descended from the sky. As soon as his feet touched the ground, Johnny unhesitatingly twisted the accelerator to the floor, and the engine erupted in a deafening roar. Black smoke billowed from Johnny's body, and then flames erupted. His hair was instantly burned, followed by his skin, until he was transformed into a terrifying Skeleton Knight.

He drove the flaming motorcycle and rushed towards the Witch Heart Demon regardless of everything.

"Wow~oh"

Coulson's mouth opened wide when he saw an ordinary motorcycle instantly transformed into a flaming chariot.

"If you want, you can sign a contract with Mephisto. I think he will be very happy to help you." Seeing this, Wes couldn't help but teased.

Coulson shook his head repeatedly, his face full of rejection.

Wu Xinmo faced the speeding motorcycle and this time he easily stopped it with one hand.

Even if Johnny stepped on the accelerator to the bottom and used all his strength, the Witch Heart Demon remained motionless and as steady as a rock.

Carter roared and rode his horse towards the Witch Heart Demon from another direction.

On the way, Carter instantly transformed into the Ghost Rider. At the moment of transformation, there was shining light and blazing flames.

Carter did not choose to charge head-on like Johnny.

Instead, it circled around Wu Xinmo quickly, as if looking for an opportunity.

The shotgun in his hand kept firing bullets.

Bullets hit Wu Xinmo's chest one after another, and the powerful impact knocked him back several steps.

Johnny took the opportunity to jump off the motorcycle and waved the long iron chain in his hand.

The iron chain, emitting flames, tightly wrapped around the Witch Heart Demon in circles.

But Wu Xinmo's strength was far greater than Johnny's. With a little effort, the chain became Wu Xinmo's weapon.

The Witch Heart Demon grabbed the chain and swung his arm violently, and Johnny was carried away like a light object.

Wu Xinmo simply treated Johnny as a meteor hammer, smashing him to the ground repeatedly. The huge impact even broke an extremely thick tree.

In the end, Johnny fell on Carter, and Carter fell to the ground in a mess with his horse.

"Idiot, don't you know to let go!!"

Carter shouted angrily, which brought the dazed Johnny back to his senses. He quickly dropped the chain in his hand.

Wu Xinmo will not show any mercy.

He just waved his hands and two black energy balls were launched and hit the two Ghost Riders.

The two knights were blown into the air by the powerful force.

Before he even landed on the ground, the Witch Heart Demon flew over and grabbed his neck.

At this moment, the flames on the two Ghost Riders began to gradually dissipate, and the situation became extremely critical.

"I've said it before, a lackey can never hurt its master." Wu Xinmo sneered complacently.

Carter and Johnny struggled constantly, but it was of no use in the face of the powerful force of the Witch Heart Demon.

Just when the two were about to turn back into human form.

A powerful spell hit the witch's heart demon accurately.

Wu Xinmo suddenly let out a painful wail, and he had to open his fingers in pain.

Carter and Johnny were able to escape.

Then, flames blazed back on them.

"Wizard!" The Witch Heart Demon gritted his teeth and glared at Weiss fiercely.

"How does it feel to be tortured?" Weiss said with a smile on his face, looking calm.

"you wanna die!"

The Witch Heart Demon was furious and rushed towards Weiss at an extremely fast speed, so fast that only a blurry afterimage was left in the air.
