Chapter 225: Avenging Underworld — Constantine's Open Plot

~13 min read 2,429 words

When Constantine was thinking about how to break the situation, Black Dwarf moved, twisted his body forward, and threw a simple punch, hitting Constantine.

Constantine didn't dare to take Black Dwarf's attack at all. He lowered his body and dodged to one side. The fist swept over his head. The huge wind pressure made Constantine unable to breathe and directly destroyed Constantine's center of gravity.

At this time, Black Dwarf's left hand, which was tucked at his waist, followed with a jab. The attack range of both fists shrouded Constantine's whole body, leaving him nowhere to hide.

Lao Die on the other side reacted extremely quickly. With his rich experience, he directly swapped his position with Constantine using magic.

Replacing Constantine, Lao Die, who appeared under Black Dwarf's attack, pushed the prepared Qi magic slightly towards the wall, and the gentle force pulled Black Dwarf's attack to smash into the wall.

With a boom, a fist mark appeared on the wall that was difficult to destroy, and the broken texture spread from the center of the fist mark to the surroundings.

Constantine, who had rich combat experience, took advantage of the situation. As magic power surged, lava attached with Hellfire sprayed from his palms towards Black Dwarf, pouring directly on him.

Black Dwarf's body surface trembled slightly. This vibration frequency was extremely high. The poured lava slid directly from his body surface and made a hissing sound after contacting the floor, emitting a burst of heat, scalding the floor red, but Black Dwarf himself did not suffer any damage.

Black Dwarf, who had completely entered the combat state, exuded a faint black light all over his body, like a war machine formed in one piece. The skin on the outside of his body was invulnerable to water and fire, almost reaching the point of magic immunity, at least for the current Lao Die and Constantine.

After eating some attacks from Constantine and Lao Die, Black Dwarf had a basic understanding of the strength of the two people, further released his defense, used all his energy on the attack, and only left a little thought to guard against the attacks of possible ambushers.

With this, Lao Die and Constantine couldn't hold on anymore. Every attack of Black Dwarf could make them left and right, incomparably embarrassed.

In this situation, the two could only constantly use various magic for assistance, delaying time.

The phantom manufactured by micro-light refraction shattered directly under the wind pressure. A magic brilliance flashed on Constantine's body, and a substitute was left in place to be smashed by Black Dwarf.

Although Lao Die and Constantine were both old magicians with extremely rich combat experience, cooperating tacitly and understanding each other, they had already shown signs of defeat and could die at any time.

Because compared to Black Dwarf, their fault tolerance rate was really too low. If anyone ate an attack solidly, the balance that was barely maintained now would be completely shattered.

Black Dwarf also clearly recognized this point, so no matter what magic Lao Die and Constantine used, manufacturing illusions or creating substitutes, he directly crushed them head-on with punches.

Let your thousand methods come, I only go with one punch.

Ordinary means mediocrity, but also means difficult to block and sustainability.

Soon, after a long attack, an opportunity that Black Dwarf had been waiting for for a long time appeared in front of him.

The old Lao Die was physically exhausted in the high-intensity battle, and the magic in his hands was a beat slower. Although Constantine strengthened his offensive to try to make up for it after discovering it.

But Black Dwarf didn't care about that, just resisting Constantine's attack and continuing to launch continuous attacks, exerting greater pressure on Lao Die. Finally, the gap of one beat developed into a disadvantage that was difficult to make up for, and the heavy fist fell on Lao Die's old bones.

The green Qi magic was defeated by Black Dwarf in one blow, and the sound of broken bones echoed in the corridor. Lao Die looked at his body being thrown away in near despair, smashed heavily on the wall, fell to the ground covered in blood, a hole appeared in his abdomen, and the bones on his body were smashed into seven or eight pieces by a punch.

Connors, who had been observing on the side, hurriedly risked his life, reached out and dragged Lao Die into the small room. The Dog Talisman was moved from Johnson's body to Lao Die's body. The fatal wound was completely restored in the blink of an eye. The price was that Johnson's slightly improved complexion presented a dead air again.

Connors looked at Johnson on the ground and then at Lao Die who was panting. He was silent for a moment and didn't put the Dog Talisman back on Johnson's body. "Lao Die, you take the talisman and run quickly. It's best to be able to pick up Constantine and retreat."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lao Die climbed up from the ground and asked back.

"This is the best choice at the moment. Johnson and I have no strength to escape, and we can't escape anymore. You still have a choice now, you should preserve your strength." Connors said seriously. He had been thinking here for a while, and this was a method with relatively low loss.

"Lao Die has never given up on anyone for so many years, let alone his own comrades." Lao Die stubbornly took off the Dog Talisman and put it back on Johnson's body. "You just sit here properly, leave the rest to Lao Die!"

Connors was speechless, and could only watch Lao Die return to the battlefield.

In the battle, having lost the help of teammates, Constantine could no longer support it. Even if Lao Die came back now, the situation was completely unable to be like the beginning. It had already slid towards the abyss and could not be avoided.

Lao Die could only make meaningless resistance. The words were righteous and domineering, but Lao Die himself knew it was enough. At least he had no way to save the scene in front of him.

"It's time to send you to hell." Black Dwarf issued a victory declaration.

This sentence could actually have been said long ago. Black Dwarf is different from other Black Order members. All the rules he masters can only act on himself, which makes Black Dwarf lack the ability to make a final decision compared to other people of the same level, which allowed Constantine and them to drag on for so long.

Change any other person from the Black Order to come over, Constantine and Lao Die would have died countless times. However, now, Black Dwarf thinks that the long consumption war has completely finalized the result of this battle.

Constantine was slightly stunned. If he really went to hell, he would be happy to...

Wait, go to hell?

Can only bet on it.

Constantine gave Lao Die a look, slightly withdrew his energy from the battle in front of him, and left more pressure to Lao Die.

Constantine is not planning to fish in troubled waters before death. The obsession of a working person has not reached this point.

In this level, Chen Yongren, who was wandering in other areas, received Constantine's order again and began to actively move towards the gathering point of strange tales.

As an undercover agent, Chen Yongren has always been wandering outside the core circle of other strange tales. After all, jumping under people's eyelids is easy to be identified. Once the identity of the undercover agent is exposed, the result is needless to say.

Coming to a gathering point, this is an empty room with other strange tales that are re-condensing. Under the influence of the current overall super-standard strange tale, these strange tales did not cast more attention on Chen Yongren.

Until Chen Yongren suddenly pulled out his derivative weapon, two pistols.

I saw Chen Yongren holding a pistol in each hand, the muzzle aimed at other "friendly forces" in the room. The next second, bullets containing energy sprayed out from the muzzle and hit other tangible strange tales in the room.

The sudden attack caught these strange tales off guard. If it were just like this, this would be a situation of black eating black, which is not worth mentioning.

After sending a part of the strange tales to reorganize, lines of invisible words appeared on the wall. This was the teaching of Chen Yongren to later humans in the tone of a senior. It briefly described the existence of the strange tale phenomenon and clearly depicted the rules of many strange tales on the wall.

This move completely exposed Chen Yongren's camp. Without a doubt, this is a double agent, and an extremely arrogant double agent.

Chen Yongren is like poking a strange tale nest. Multiple strange tale gathering points nearby all gathered towards this side, intending to bury the double agent completely.

In the corridor, Constantine, who was manipulating Chen Yongren to actively expose his identity, launched a desperate attack and fought for his life with Black Dwarf extremely unwisely.

Black Dwarf didn't get used to Constantine either. He knew that Constantine had a character card and had two lives, so what? It was just dying a few seconds later.

Breaking Constantine's defense with one punch, his right hand stretched forward, pierced through Constantine's chest, and grabbed his heart.

Exerting force, the heart shattered directly.

Constantine shook, and death descended on him.

Black Dwarf frowned slightly. He didn't feel the triggering of the character card's replacement effect.

Another guy who removed the replacement function?

Wait, why say "another"?

Just at this moment, Constantine closed his eyes. Constantine had died, and the character card Chen Yongren replaced him and existed in this world temporarily.

However, Chen Yongren on the other side was also facing death. The attacks of countless strange tales were not something Chen Yongren could withstand.

These strange tales possess all kinds of peculiar abilities. Combined, let alone a small undercover strange tale, even if the individual combat ceiling Lv Bu came, under the siege, there was no possibility of winning.

The undercover agent will eventually fall into the Avenging Underworld and never be reborn.

Pitch-black flames emerged from Constantine's body, and he and Chen Yongren fell towards Hell synchronously.

The appearance of the Avenging Underworld distorted the surrounding space, and a rule with wider coverage and higher energy level descended on the corridor.

"Accompany me to hell..." Constantine's soul looked at Black Dwarf and said.

Black Dwarf was slightly panicked, but it

The rule of Black Dwarf's annihilation fully manifested, and under the influence of this rule, the activity of the surrounding hell plummeted.

The distorted space was twisted a second time, and a fragmented void appeared in this area; the surging power constantly impacted, opening an exit away from the Avenging Underworld.

After all, the Avenging Underworld was not targeting Black Dwarf; he was merely dragged into it. Compared to Constantine, the difficulty for Black Dwarf to escape was much lower.

During this process, Constantine had no intention of stopping Black Dwarf at all, just quietly watching the void space behind Black Dwarf.

Just as Black Dwarf was about to leave, a long sigh echoed here.

Eh~

This soft sigh made Black Dwarf tremble with fear; he had not sensed any other existence at all.

Mephisto emerged bit by bit from behind Black Dwarf, the rules of hell descended completely, and the opening that had just been created was directly blocked.

Mephisto looked at Constantine without saying a word; Constantine had even calculated his own boss into this.

From beginning to end, Constantine was playing an open scheme.

The situation was what it was, and Constantine also knew that Mephisto did not want to intervene directly, as that would accelerate his transition from a chess player to a chess piece.

Therefore, Constantine did everything he could, leaving the final step and also leaving Mephisto with a choice.

This play was nearing its end, and Constantine, who had played a crucial role, would certainly gain a massive amount of points. If the final outcome resulted in Constantine being on the winning side, these points would also receive a significant boost.

Therefore, Constantine let Mephisto make his choice.

Did he want such a large amount of points or not?

If he wanted them, he should strike and keep Black Dwarf here. This did not count as breaking the game rules, because Mephisto's opportunity to strike was created by Constantine racking his brains—it belonged to Constantine's exclusive ultimate move: calling the boss.

If he didn't want them, Constantine had no choice, but he could accept it. Anyway, Black Dwarf had been dragged in here for so long; as long as Lao Die and the others weren't idiots, they would have already escaped. The level was so huge that as long as they hid, Black Dwarf wouldn't know when he could find them.

Obviously, Mephisto still couldn't resist the temptation of the points.

This was also very normal. If he could have resisted, the situation wouldn't have reached this point today. At the time, Ding Hao had only given him an admission ticket; there were no restrictions on whether to play the game or not.

"... Don't let it happen again." Mephisto finally looked at Constantine and said.

Constantine closed his eyes, entering an infinite cycle of life and death; this was the terrifying punishment of the Avenging Underworld.

However, Constantine's mood was actually quite good. The plan had succeeded, and Mephisto's words meant that Constantine would not be trapped in the Avenging Underworld forever; after all, if that were the case, the "don't let it happen again" would have no meaning.

Black Dwarf still wanted to struggle, but unfortunately, this time he was facing an existence of the same level as Thanos, and he had fallen into the opponent's lair.

Mephisto looked at Black Dwarf rushing toward him and waved his hand; endless hellfire emerged from the ground and wrapped around Black Dwarf's body.

The same magic was two completely different situations in Constantine's hands versus Mephisto's hands.

In just a few seconds, Black Dwarf's outer skin turned bright red under the scorching heat.

When the first wisp of hellfire broke through his skin's defense, Black Dwarf's soul let out a shrill scream.

A transparent and twisted soul emerged from Black Dwarf's body, turning into ashes amidst the boundless flames.

Black Order—Black Dwarf—Dead!
