Hufflepuff in the Marvel Universe

It is not difficult to seal the spirit of vengeance. With Johnny's cooperation, in just a moment, the restless flame was bound to Johnny's body.

Although it was not yet night, Johnny could feel that the uncontrollable flame contained in his soul seemed to have turned on a switch.

Only if he actively turns it on will he become the Ghost Rider. Otherwise, he will still be an ordinary person even at night.

Johnny finally returned to normal and couldn't wait to find his ex-girlfriend Roxanne to renew their relationship. Unfortunately, before he could take action, he was caught by Gu Zhongyan and showed up at the headquarters of the Young Defenders in Los Angeles.

Bringing Johnny here is partly to make both parties familiar with each other so that they can help each other in the future.

On the other hand, it is for the Yuanyi Staff.

After dealing with all the trivial matters, Gu Zhongyan finally focused on this artifact.

Among the entire Defenders, Ghost Rider is definitely the strongest one besides him, bar none.

Even when the situation is explosive, Gu Zhongyan can't guarantee that he can beat the opponent.

The Yuanyi Staff not only involves the dark dimension and Morgan Le Fay, it is also closely related to the soul. From a physical point of view, the Ghost Rider is also the most suitable existence to explore its secrets.

Unless the ability reaches the level of the Heavenly Father, no soul tricks can be hidden from the eyes of the Ghost Rider.

Calling out Nicole alone again, Gu Zhongyan turned around and looked at Johnny after setting up a mirror space.

"Understood." Johnny nodded, and the fire burning in his heart instantly rose.

boom!

Black-red flames burned along the skin, and the layers of flesh and blood attached to the white bones turned into hellfire under the burning fire.

In the blink of an eye, a flaming skeleton wearing a jacket, leather pants, a chain around his waist, and riding a cool motorcycle appeared in the mirror space.

"what?"

The moment he transformed into Ghost Rider, Johnny's face showed something strange.

I don’t know how this skinless skull can make such an agile expression.

However, judging from his tilted skull, there was indeed something wrong with Nicole.

"What's wrong? What did you see?" Gu Zhongyan asked hurriedly.

The Ghost Rider's empty eyes stared straight at Nicole, and the bones in his throat rubbed against each other to make a deep voice.

"In the depths of her soul, I saw a staff, entwined with a thick darkness, leading to an unknown realm. It was a zone darker than hell, and I couldn't fully see it. .”

"In the depths of the darkness, I seemed to hear a few crows."

Hearing this, Gu Zhongyan's eyes flashed. Needless to say, the staff was the Yuanyi Staff. The power of darkness originated from the dark dimension.

As for the crow, it is the symbol of Morgan Le Fay. It seems that when he was expelled from the earth, Morgan Le Fay did leave a backup plan and entangled his power with the Yuan Yi Staff.

Because of this, when Yuanyi's staff continues to absorb the power of the dark dimension, her power will be extracted from the dark dimension bit by bit, and she will eventually escape from the dark dimension.

"Can you see the secret of the staff?" Gu Zhongyan asked hurriedly.

"No." Ghost Rider shook his head, "The magic of the staff is very profound, and my eyes cannot penetrate it, and the dark power has been interfering with my thoughts, preventing me from seeing more secrets. .”

Gu Zhongyan was not surprised. After all, the Yuanyi Staff was a top-notch artifact, and the magic knowledge involved was naturally not low.

Although Ghost Rider is powerful, in the final analysis, he only inherited the power of Zatanos, not Zatanos himself, so naturally he cannot understand complex magic.

The Dark Dimension is no weaker than Hell, and it is normal for it to interfere with the Ghost Rider's thoughts.

Gu Zhongyan, who had expected this, nodded and took out the dragon bone wand.

"Okay, then it's up to me. Just keep an eye on it for me and don't get plotted."

After saying that, he waved the pale dragon bone wand forcefully, and the room-sized mirror space quickly expanded.

The whole world began to rotate clockwise, the ground under your feet turned into walls, the ceiling stretched infinitely to the side, and your feet turned into layers of glass floors composed of geometric figures.

The mirror space is constantly overlapping and changing. If you look at it from a high altitude, you will find that this constantly overlapping space begins to turn into a huge magic circle.

The huge magic circle centered on Nicole, constantly rotating, expanding, and intertwining.

The entire mirror space was trembling violently, various complex magic runes were intertwined, and a large amount of magic filled the increasingly larger space like a sea tide.

Since his magic power returned to its peak, this was the first time Gu Zhongyan took action with all his strength, and the momentum was unexpectedly huge.

Rumbling, magic pillars engraved with runes stood around Nicole. If you look carefully, the shapes of these pillars are similar to those in the Palace of Eternal Night.

However, the runes on it are more complicated, far beyond what is recorded in the "Vampire Bible".

"True manifestation!"

Finally, when twelve magic pillars tightly surrounded Nicole, Gu Zhongyan waved his wand and recited a spell.

'Real Appearance' is an advanced version of 'Quick Appearance'. You can also know from the name of the spell that this spell is a kind of magic that peels off the appearance and reveals the reality.

This seemingly simple magic is actually a very dangerous magic.

For the mystical side, reality represents knowledge, power, and the essence of magic.

Stripping away the appearance and revealing the reality may seem ordinary, but when used in the field of magic, it is a very powerful ability.

A strong attack will inevitably lead to self-destruction. The more powerful the magic, the more likely it is to suffer backlash.

The same goes for true manifestation. If it is an ordinary object, that's it. If it is something related to magic, it will easily suffer backlash.

The more powerful the existence, the stronger the backlash will be.

The Yuanyi Staff is a rare magical artifact. If you look at its power, the backlash will naturally not be much smaller.

Otherwise, Gu Zhongyan would not have laid out such a powerful magic circle.

Rumble!

The moment the magic light fell on Nicole, the entire mirror space trembled violently like an earthquake, and huge cracks ran through the mirror like spider webs.

The runes on the twelve magic pillars disappeared and appeared, and a powerful dark force suddenly roared and spread from Nicole's body.

The turbulent black mist was like a tsunami at the beginning of the end, sweeping towards the twelve magic pillars with a destructive momentum.

"Not moving like a mountain!"

A cold light flashed in Gu Zhongyan's eyes, and he thrust the wand in his hand hard.
