Beast Taming: Abyssal Descent-Chapter 274 - 259: The Evil Spirit Knight Beaten Into Isolation (Part 2)

Chapter 274: Chapter 259: The Evil Spirit Knight Beaten Into Isolation (Part 2)

This thing has been activated for such a long time and consumed a vast amount of Holy Light Crystal Stone, all of which are Advanced Tier Seven and above.

During this dimensional crossing, the quantity brought over is limited. This time calculating the Witch Heart Demon consumed more than half, and the Celestial Maiden Beast still needs to absorb more in the future.

It’s essential to save whatever can be saved now.

Without the suppression of the Holy Light Array, the momentum of the Evil Spirit Knight increased significantly, but still wasn’t a match for Edward.

A casual swing of the Knight’s Sword was enough, and it was split into pieces.

After being taken down by Edward over a hundred times, it took ten full minutes for it to be reborn in flames once more.

After this revival, the Evil Spirit Knight didn’t rush forward to attack but stood still in its place.

With a Skull burning with flames, it tilted its head to look at Edward, then glanced at the Celestial Maiden Beast, Mo Qingchen, and finally fixed its gaze on Carter Shire.

"Oh, you can actually regain a bit of consciousness; it truly takes the harsh beatings of society to master your power."

Mo Qingchen watched the Evil Spirit Knight, which seemed to be deep in thought.

Noticing especially how the two Soul Chains slowly retracted, winding around its skeletal arms.

Clearly, Johnny Blaze’s consciousness had awakened and began trying to control the Power bestowed by the Spirit of Vengeance.

"Boss, let me have a word with him."

Carter Shire expressed a slight affection for this fellow comrade.

After all, they were both fools whose souls were tricked away by Mephisto, becoming enforcers for him, and they both bore a deep hatred for Mephisto.

He thought they could become good friends.

"Sure, if you can bring him over, he can have the same treatment as you."

The Spirit of Vengeance within Carter Shire was already at its limit, and recovery could only come slowly.

So, he cooperated with the research as cautiously as possible; recruiting Johnny Blaze could be a breakthrough point.

"Got it, Boss, just watch me!"

Carter Shire said happily and walked over directly.

But with each step, there was a slight change in him.

A trace of Hellfire rose from his flesh, yet this flame seemed flickering, as if extinguishable at any moment.

With what little Power of the Spirit of Vengeance he had, after invoking the Hellfire, Carter Shire’s flesh slowly faded away, transforming similarly into a skeleton.

However, compared to Johnny Blaze, he was not entirely skeletal, retaining his head.

"Little guy, try to control the Hellfire on you bit by bit; this will speed up your control over the Power of the Spirit of Vengeance within you."

Carter Shire guided the Evil Spirit Knight on how to harness its Power.

Communications between these kindred spirits proceeded very smoothly.

Especially since Johnny Blaze’s consciousness had partially recovered.

With Carter Shire’s guidance, Johnny managed to barely control the Power within.

Then, with Carter’s instruction, he gradually withdrew the Hellfire burning outside into his body.

As the Hellfire receded, the skeletal form of the Evil Spirit Knight slowly regained its flesh, reverting back to a humanoid state.

Johnny Blaze looked at his hands in disbelief, pinching his face and other parts of his body.

"I... can control it?"

"Of course, isn’t it straightforward?"

Carter Shire smiled faintly, his Hellfire retreating into his body as well, returning to his human shape.

"Kid, how about joining the Boss? You won’t need to worry about Mephisto bothering you anymore."

A simple sentence made Johnny Blaze intrigued.

He deeply resented the Hell Demon King in his heart.

Back when he was deceived into signing a Contract, it resulted in the death of his father.

Forced to flee far away, and separated from his girlfriend.

Just as he was reunited with her, that old bastard came after him again, causing another missed appointment.

If not for the Contract barring any Active move against him, after transforming into the Evil Spirit Knight, his extreme resentment would have made him strike at Mephisto’s avatar immediately.

Moreover, Johnny glanced at Edward standing beside Mo Qingchen and the others.

Though he initially became an Evil Spirit Knight with only instincts, absent consciousness.

Being repeatedly battered and defeated by Edward, his awareness gradually awakened.

Thus, he realized just how powerful this Knight exuding Holy Light truly was.

Even transformed as the Evil Spirit Knight, he was easily slain by this Knight like a nobody.

Especially when he snuck a peek at Edward, the Spirit of Vengeance inside him shuddered as if it encountered a natural enemy, conveying a complex fear to him.

However, considering Mephisto’s threat and Carter Shire’s persuasion with offered terms.

Johnny nodded, indicating his agreement to work for Mo Qingchen.

A million-dollar annual salary wasn’t particularly significant to Johnny.

This guy was, after all, America’s most badass motorcycle stunt rider; he had earned over a million dollars in recent years.

Since being swindled by Mephisto, he often led a life of debauchery that Carter, a former corrupt cop, couldn’t match in terms of money pursuits.

Just then, a buzzing sound was heard.

Mo Jin descended in a golden beam, landing directly in front of Mo Qingchen.

"Boss, I found a Treasure within this church."

"Where is it?"

"Inside the core of the church’s main beam. While perched on top, I kept hearing a voice luring me to fetch that Treasure. If it weren’t for the place being filled with Holy Light, I might have succumbed to the temptation."

Mo Qingchen exchanged glances with Edward and promptly headed into the church.

Initially, they laid out plans in the church, thoroughly inspecting it without finding any anomalies, before deciding to trap the Witch Heart Demon here.

It turned out, while Mo Jin was hidden atop, something nearly ambushed due to some thing, lucky that sealing the Witch Heart Demon went without a hitch.

Using Telekinesis, they followed Mo Jin to the top of the church.

A massive sturdy beam supported the entire church roof.

Releasing Spiritual Power, Mo Qingchen immediately sensed an aura of fear.

Probing with Spiritual Power, a large long-handled hammer was hidden within the beam’s core!

The aura of fear emanated from this hammer.

"A hammer? What on earth is this?"

Excavating the hammer would undoubtedly destroy this beam, leading the whole church roof to collapse.

"Edward, dig out the hammer inside, and everyone else vacate the church."

Since it’s a Treasure, it mustn’t be missed.

Even if it exudes an aura of fear, it’s worth taking out to examine.

Possessing the Eye of Truth, he could discern many hidden things.

"You all exit the church."

Edward nodded, and the Unicorn emerged with a ring of light, carrying him to hover above the beam, where he raised the Knight’s Sword, slashing down with force.

With a crisp "ding," the beam was halved easily, whereas the Knight’s Sword left no mark upon the hammer.

Mo Qingchen and the others had vacated the church, standing outside the entrance, watching Edward in action.

Three successive strikes later, the hammer was extracted while the beam split into two.

Simultaneously, cracks rapidly spread across the entire church ceiling.

With the absence of beam support, the entire church roof collapsed within minutes.

However, Edward had already emerged at the church entrance, gripping a two-meter-long hammer.

"This is an Evil Artifact, granting Tier Nine Power to its wielder, but it is immersed with a fearful aura capable of beguiling the wielder’s mind until they are ultimately controlled by the evil spirit within the hammer!"

Edward clutched the hammer, Holy Light concentrated on it, suppressing its power, his face grave as he spoke.
