Chapter 2927 When Night Falls (XIX)
Chapter 2901 When Night Falls (XIX)
About half an hour ago, Constantine arrived at the East Coast of the United States alone, and Doctor Fate stayed behind to take care of Zatanna who was in a bad state.
The appearance of vampires cannot be said to have nothing to do with the magic world. In order to prevent the situation from escalating to the point where Constantine could not cope with it, Constantine was ready to take the initiative, but before that, he had to know what Batman was going to do.
Just as he had suggested to Moonlight to ask Batman for advice before, he knew that if vampires wanted to rule the earth, they could not bypass the Justice League, and the Justice League could not bypass Batman, so Batman's attitude determined the direction of the whole thing.
After arriving at the East Coast, Constantine originally planned to go straight to Wayne Manor, but as soon as he landed, he found traces of necromancy. This was a very strange magic, and he had never seen magic operating in this form.
DC magic is different from Marvel magic. The essence of Marvel magic is energy. As long as you can get enough energy, humans can use this energy to their advantage through their own genius creations.
But this doesn't work in the DC universe, because in addition to requiring energy, the way DC magic is used is also restricted.
Marvel's magic is equivalent to you can build a car yourself as long as you have oil, but in the DC world, the technology of building a car is all in the hands of the source of power. Oil alone is not enough. You must sign a contract to get the technology of building a car. After building a car, you have to take a driver's license test. After driving on the road, you have to follow various traffic rules. The restrictions on human mages are very large.
For example, even if a fledgling mage has a lot of energy, he can't use anti-speech magic, because the copyright of this magic is in the hands of the inverted man, who can use it.
The same subdivision almost monopolizes all forms of magic. Even if a lucky person suddenly gets a lot of energy, he can hardly use any magic, even lighting a cigarette, because the copyright of all flame magic is in the hands of the Fire Demon King. Before obtaining the copyright through a contract, no flame can be made.
Having been in the magic world for so long, Constantine can almost see the source of the copyright of all magic, and can tell who the master of a magician is just by the traces.
But this time he encountered an accident. The person signed by this necromancer was not the Skeleton Duke. He was very strange about magic and its use, and it was not any known form of magic.
This almost immediately attracted Constantine's attention.
In fact, in Constantine's view, vampires are not a big deal. It is indeed a bit capable to transform Zatanna, but although Zatanna's defensive magic is strong, she herself has little social experience, and it is not impossible for her to capsize in the gutter.
So compared with vampires, this wizard who suddenly appeared and used strange undead magic made Constantine more interested.
So he followed the traces all the way to the base where the Arkham Knight and the necromancer Doctor Strange were located.
At this time, there were a total of three people in the base. Constantine, who was sneaking outside, confirmed that two of them had traces of magic. In addition to the moonlight he had seen before, the rest was the skinny long-faced wizard.
Constantine had never seen him, and more importantly, he had never seen the energy he carried and the way he manipulated puppets, which made Constantine realize that the other party might be a visitor from another universe.
Undead magic is actually a very dangerous magic, and the Skeleton Duke has very few contract objects, because few people can manipulate the dead. The complex magic principles make Constantine have a headache.
But it seems that this long-faced guy is very skilled in using the undead manipulation technique, and it can be said to be very wasteful. He actually let the summoned undead creatures act as porters!
Most of the bosses who hold magic copyrights are very stingy. Not only do they charge per use, but they basically have to pay a lot for each use. Otherwise, Constantine would not owe so much debt.
Why is this guy so comfortable?
With such doubts, Constantine decided to test it, but he was a little worried about the guy named Moonlight. No matter how powerful Constantine's magic is, he is still a mortal. All the big losses in his life were suffered by mortals. If he was nailed by that candlestick, he would not be able to run away today.
So Constantine thought of a way. He separated an ash clone and asked him to guard the door. He stayed away and made some noise, pretending to be a vampire invasion.
As expected, the guy named Moonlight and the guy in armor quickly went out to check the situation, and Constantine's clone walked in leisurely and communicated with the necromancer Doctor Strange.
The reason why he didn't come to find this wizard was because Constantine judged that this guy should be more difficult to deal with than the other two. The necromancy was too weird and had to be prevented.
As a result, he completely misjudged the situation.
Compared with the miserable wizards in the DC universe, Doctor Strange did have a lot of room, but he was not very strong among Doctor Strange. He had limited energy and was beaten before. His injuries were not fully healed. All the summons together could not beat Constantine.
But the two evil stars who chased out were different. Although Moonlight Schiller was sealed by Kong Su with moonlight energy again, he had been resisting treatment, so the burns caused by the high-power ultraviolet lamp had not yet healed completely. Under the stimulation of pain, his strength increased a lot.
The Arkham Knight is not weak to begin with. He is a master who can fight the Batman of the Arkham world back and forth. After coming here, he has been cleaning out the fish and has not met any decent opponents. I can't hold it in anymore.
Constantine secretly created a lot of vampire phantoms, but as soon as the moonlight fell, they were all seen through. He did not hide very well, and was immediately discovered by the Arkham Knight. A sniper bullet almost killed him. His head exploded.
Constantine rolled out of the hiding place in a bit of embarrassment, but otherwise he was a lustful evil spirit. When he saw the Arkham Knight holding a big sniper, his first reaction was not to run, but to run from top to bottom. After sizing him up, I took the time to stare at him.
There is a saying, although Dick's butt is called DC's treasure, Jason is not bad either, especially the look of Arkham Knight, which can be called the most fashionable Jason among all the publications.
Perhaps due to modeling issues, Jason in the Arkham Knight game has one of the best body types in all universes, with wide shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs.
The Arkham Knight is not wearing a silver and black duel suit today, but a dark blue armor suit with less mechanical armor.
The upper body is wearing a dark blue tight leather shirt as a base. The chest, shoulders, elbows and hands are covered with carbon black armor. The waist is covered with chain belts, magazines and equipment. The lower body is wearing black, blue and red camouflage pants, and the knees and The legs are covered with metal armor.
His helmet is also blue, with a silver-black iron piece extending upward from the chin to the temporal bone. Two pointed ears stand up from the top, and the eyes are partially glowing blue, giving him a sense of inhumanity, like an evil robot.
But as luck would have it, Constantine was the best at this.
So when he came out of hiding and saw Arkham Knight for the first time, he took a breath of cold air, whistled to Arkham Knight and said, "What a fucking great body, boy!"
To be honest, Jason has never been teased by anyone when he has grown up. In other words, Jason's growth experience is relatively simple. He was picked up by Batman when he was very young, and then kidnapped by the Joker, and then appeared with the Bat. Xia fought a decisive battle, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is not familiar with the world in terms of his life experience.
So when faced with the first line of the guy in front of him who was suspected of being an enemy, he was stunned.
Arkham Knight was obviously stunned for two seconds, as if stuck. If emotions had entities, there would be a loading icon spinning on his head right now.
But the moonlight was not used to Constantine. As soon as Constantine finished saying those words, the golden candlestick pierced him. He hid while shouting: "Well, I shouldn't praise him or you, and you shouldn't praise him either." Not bad!"
The Arkham Knight who then reacted was furious.
The next scene is not easy to describe in words. Anyway, when Schiller brought Dick over, Constantine was covered in blood, with seven or eight bullet holes in his body, and a hole in his thigh.
Considering that he is now in his prime, using magic with basically no restrictions, and being beaten like this, Arkham Knight should be really popular.
Although Schiller came over, he did not show up directly. He took Dick on the top of a nearby building to look down.
Dick clicked his tongue and said, "He really deserves it, but who is that robot with two pointed ears?"
"Who do you think he is?"
Dick looked him up and down twice. Although this guy's dressing style looked a bit like Cyborg, he was a white man from the body structure. The two pointed ears were somewhat similar to Batman's bat armor, but the one on his chest was obviously not a bat logo. .
"I guess he is a Batman fan, but his imitation is a bit clumsy." Dick said: "This equipment looks quite high-tech, and it looks good on him, but it doesn't feel practical and can cause a fight. Will it really hurt you?"
"He's Jason Todd," Schiller said.
"Cough cough cough cough." Dick almost choked himself to death. He pointed at the Arkham Knight who was still chasing Constantine and said: "Who??? Jason???"
"How is it now?"
"How much water must have gone into his brain to dress like this? Is he really not going to be beaten by Batman???"
"Maybe he just wanted to fight Batman." Schiller briefly told Dick about the experience of Arkham Knight in this universe.
At first Dick listened with great interest, but then his expression changed to a bit difficult to comment, and in the end it was almost indescribable.
"It's hard for me to imagine that the guy you're talking about is Batman. Couldn't he see that what Jason really cared about was that not long after he disappeared, Batman found a new assistant? He always emphasized that he didn't find him. What's the use? If Tim's problem had been explained earlier, the two of them wouldn't have been able to fight. "
Dick shook his head and said: "And what happened to me in that universe? Why can't I call the two of them? The problems I encountered between the members of the Bat family in the past were much more complicated than this, but neither of us were It’s a child, even Damian, as long as you talk to him nicely, he will understand.”
"This is the style of their universe." Schiller said: "Put on your mask. If nothing else, he should be angry now. Don't mess with him later."
"I never mess with Jason. Most of the trouble is caused by Damian. I know he has a bad temper, but I still insist on dangling in front of him..."
Walking down with Schiller, Dick was also paying attention to the situation on the street, and soon he knew why this evil robot-like Jason was angry.
Constantine found that he couldn't run away, so he found a corner of the cafe and lay down there, opened his arms and said to the Arkham Knight.
"Come on, baby, use your big gun to send me to hell, or let me go to heaven, hahahaha!"
