Volume 5: The Young Wolf Seeks Home Chapter 20 Whose beautiful motorcycle is parked here? If you don’t want it, I’ll drive it away.
"Did you eat it?"
Harley looked at Mason absorbing the magic fire from the broken locomotive. She said in surprise, and at the same time she felt that her sweetheart Mr. K was so amazing.
She was completely unaware of the profound meaning behind this seemingly ordinary thing.
Mason was not calm at this moment.
His Artisan's Magic Fire originated from an adventurous attempt by Zha Kang. It was a "gift" obtained from Lord Fate through the curse of the Star Society, representing a trace of power characteristics from the divine devil.
However, the demonized vehicles of the Wasteland Bikers before their eyes are some kind of "holy objects" left in the ruins by the Ghost Riders from this world.
The two actually have the same origin.
This has fully explained the true identity of the elusive Lord Fate. Mason knows the origins of various versions of Ghost Rider very well.
Let's just say, of course he idolizes the Old Master the most, followed by Logan, and third might be Spider-Man, but if you rank further down, then Wonder Woman's strongest contender for fourth place is the flirtatious man who rides a motorcycle across heaven and hell.
Yes, it's Nicolas Cage... ahem, I mean the man named Johnny Blaze. After all, who can resist a crazy, immortal, flaming skeleton biker with a tragic fate?
He can even urinate so much fire that it can burn down a city!
That's pretty cool, right?
"Well, if it was just pure curiosity and exploration before, now it seems that we really need to go to the Ghost Riders' base camp."
Mason stood up and did not try to absorb the flames from the remaining dozen or so shattered demonized motorcycles. Instead, he took out the egg of the unfortunate phoenix Fox and gave it to Harley, asking her to hold it and absorb the magic flames.
The unfortunate Phoenix's previous appearance was so tragic. The shame of being killed instantly by Sister Ka made it eager to complete Nirvana rebirth again.
These flames are much needed right now.
"Logan, you're here after all."
Mason looked at the Spider Car behind him and the old wolf sitting in the driver's seat. A hint of relief flashed in his eyes. He was worthy of being the man he admired second most.
Even though he has fallen to such a poor state that he has to pay in installments even for a bottle of water, he will still be there when someone needs him.
"I'm here to take you back, Mason, don't go any further."
Logan advised:
"The Ghost Riders' boss is not one of these rookie thugs. He didn't rely on his own brothers to settle the blood feud with the Hulk Gang. Whatever Ghost Rider left behind has been completely controlled by the man who calls himself 'Hell Knight'.
You are here to find out the origin of your life, not to make enemies."
"No, there won't be any grudges."
Mason stretched out his five fingers, the burning magic fire covered his palms like candles, and he said:
“If we really have to choose a successor to the Ghost Rider legacy, I think it definitely won’t be the so-called Hell Knight… I just want to take back what I deserve.
Don't worry, Logan, there's no danger.
But could you please hold the line for me? I'll feel more comfortable having Harry with you."
"I want to go with you!"
Harley pouted and shook her body coquettishly and said:
"I can help you with bombs! Madam Martha improved the formula for the Joker's gas, and it's deadly now. I carry it with me at all times."
"obedient."
Mason touched Harley's cheek and said:
"I don't want to see your face burnt. If you're ugly, I'll run away."
"whispering sound."
Harley snorted, threw a piece of gum into her mouth and reluctantly sat on the passenger seat of the Spider-Car. Then she saw Mason fixed Fox's egg in front of the flying motorcycle, as if he had made a "shield" for himself.
Then Mason put on his safety helmet, honked the horn twice, and rushed towards the Ghost Riders' base in the ruins of San Francisco.
This active charge to the tower quickly provoked a counterattack from the Ghost Riders.
A large number of motorcycles of various models carrying those revelry and screaming doomsday punk riders rushed out from all over the ruins , shouting obscenities and waving the chains in their hands like symbols to chase Mason.
Want to have a "wasteland spree" with Mason on their turf.
The attack patterns of these guys are interesting.
They continued to accelerate the locomotive, causing the demonic fire burning on the wheels to burn, and then brought the chains in their hands close to "ignite" them, turning the chains into demonic objects and then throwing them towards Mason.
Those chains would continue to lengthen like whips of fire, but Mason didn't even bother to look at this weak demonized form and was too lazy to pay attention to it.
When those chains approach the coquettishly moving motorcycle, the flames will be instantly sucked away by the extremely thirsty phoenix eggs, and the riders riding the motorcycles will also be affected, and the magic fire given to their motorcycles will quickly be extinguished as the phoenix eggs absorb it.
It's like a walking "lights-off device".
Wherever Mason went, the Ghost Riders who were showing off their power with their vehicles were silenced one by one. Even if this group of fierce guys managed to catch up with the flying motorcycles with their excellent riding skills, Mason also had close combat weapons.
The slime monster Kevin attached to his body would always transform into a big fist and punch these "ghost-like middle-aged men" twice amid their roars.
Kevin, who has absorbed the body of Wonder Woman's clay doll twice, is now very powerful. His punches break the speed of sound, and these ordinary people will die if they are hit by one.
The malicious Mason even took these ghost fire riders for a few turns in the ruins. Within twenty minutes, at least one third of the elite members of the powerful ghost riding gang were killed.
This horrific rate of loss terrified the remaining people.
These bastards, who were gathered together by violence, had no beliefs at all. They were afraid of Mason's "fire-extinguishing" power and quickly dispersed.
This made the Phoenix Egg placed in front of the flying motorcycle very dissatisfied.
It made a buzzing sound to indicate to Mason that it was not full at all, and asked him to catch up and eat all the delicious magic flames!
"Save your appetite, cutie."
Mason stopped the flying motorcycle and rushed towards the Ghost Riders' base camp with a tail swing and burning tires. He comforted the anxious Phoenix Egg and said:
"I'll give you something delicious later."
"boom"
The door of the only relatively "intact" huge building in the ruins of San Francisco was shattered by a missile, and a blue motorcycle rushed into the hall in front of it that looked like a cult site amidst the smoke and dust.
A large group of high-energy men and women who were having a "no-cover party" rushed over yelling, pulling up their pants and grabbing their chains.
Mason covered his eyes and scolded:
"Opening a YP, right? Ward inspection! Assholes, men on the left, women on the right! Stand still!"
Of course, it was impossible to let him fight in close combat, so he threw out the slime monster. After Kevin landed, he exploded and split himself into three pieces, transforming into a bat-suited man, classic Superman and Wonder Woman Diana.
These were the three guys who were best at close combat in Kevin's memory. Amidst the shouting, the "Justice Three" became Mason's "vanguard" and started fighting with the Ghost Riders.
Mason, who was well protected by Kevin, did not spend time paying attention to the fight around him. His eyes were now focused on the Harley motorcycle placed on a "black altar" in the center of the hall.
Mason is not a biker, and his knowledge of motorcycles is limited.
But he recognized the car in front of him at a glance. It was the Harley V22, the classic car of Ghost Rider Nicolas Cage. However, the condition of the car was a bit "weird" at this time.
It itself is quite shabby.
It's like it spent an unpleasant time in a junkyard and was brought out again, restored as best it could by a bunch of clumsy guys, resulting in some odd colors on the casing.
It was placed on a formal but flawed "altar", with skulls piled under its two wheels, all of them human skulls.
This is obviously the final destination of the wasteland residents hunted from all over the place by the Ghost Riders.
Large patches of devilish fire surrounded the skull altar, burning from the eye sockets of the skeletons like lit candles, and many waste motorcycles were parked on the "ring roads" set up around it.
When necessary, their riders will ride these motorcycles through a loop close to the altar, so that the evil spirit motorcycle's magic fire can attach to other motorcycles.
It's like some weird cult ritual.
"Those skulls are completely useless except for decoration."
The hat on Mason's head said in a tone of disgust:
"These biker lunatics got the ritual wrong, they don't actually have any professional skills to complete the channeling, these killings are senseless cult stuff.
Destroy this place, Mason!
It’s very uncomfortable here.”
"Should I say, welcome to the wasteland?"
Mason sighed, with disgust in his eyes, he took out a few engineering grenades and threw them over, blowing up the uncomfortable altar and skull, but the ghost motorcycle was unharmed in the explosion.
A tall man in a strange wasteland motorcycle outfit was startled by the explosion. He rushed out from a high place, followed by several naked women dressed seductively.
"Provocateur! Ghost Rider's bloodline will damn you to hell!"
The crazy man roared and jumped down from a high place. Surprisingly, the Ghost Motorbike started up and flew up along the wall and caught the guy in the air.
Then, as Mason watched, a large amount of demonic fire surged from the motorcycle and covered the man, as if he had transformed into a burning skeleton rider like Ghost Rider.
"I am a Hell Knight!"
He madly swung the burning chain at Mason and roared:
"I am the King of the Wasteland! I am the Messiah of Slaughter! My Father is telling me to take your heads! Die!"
"This hanged man is crazy."
Mason curled his lips and didn't even try to dodge, letting the chain hit him.
Just like before, the flames of the burning object were quickly sucked away when it approached the phoenix egg, and when it hit Mason, only the bare iron chain was left, which Mason grabbed again.
"Fake!"
He said sarcastically:
"How about seeing how real magic fire works?"
Then the magic fire manipulation was activated. Although it was just a craftsman's skill and could not be used in combat, it was still easy to melt such a crudely made chain.
The scorching devilish fire crawled along the melted chains and rushed towards the other party. This fire, which originated from the same source as Lord Destiny, was immediately sensed by the burning motorcycle in front.
The latter seemed to see something familiar.
Not only did he immediately stop his wild sprint towards Mason, but he swayed on the spot and threw the "Hell Knight" on his body away in the violent swing of the dragon's tail.
The flames on the "Hell Knight" who was about to control the "Holy Relics of the Ancestors" to slaughter all the invaders were extinguished the moment he was thrown out.
He fell to the ground in a mess.
He was knocked unconscious when he saw the burning magic fire in Mason's hand. He didn't know what was wrong with him, but this guy whose mental state was completely unpredictable actually fell to his knees on the ground.
He shouted madly to Mason as if worshipping:
"Ah! My father, you have finally shown mercy to this doomsday wasteland and brought it back to your hell on earth. You will lead us to the Immortal Mountain to receive the glory of the Ring of Fiery Fire..."
"boom"
Before he could finish his nonsense roar, the walls around the hall shattered in the violent collision.
The Spider-Car driven by the screaming Harley rushed out like a chariot. An obstacle avoidance device like a bulldozer popped out in front of it, and it rolled over all the way and hit the crazy Ghost Rider Gang leader.
Poor "Murderous Messiah" didn't even have time to finish yelling his Bible of Hell before he was hit head-on and flew away.
The sharp shovel cut off his neck, and as Mason watched in silence, his head turned several times and finally landed accurately in front of the burning hell locomotive.
There was a gleam of deathly astonishment in his eyes, which were still open when he died, and in the next moment he was crushed into flying ashes by the burning wheels. His burning head flew out and hit the central altar, smashing the skulls of those innocent people into pieces.
It's like the final chapter of a ridiculous but unfunny wasteland joke.
This scene completely destroyed the morale of the Ghost Riders.
The high-energy bastards screamed and ran around. Kevin, who was leading the fight, wanted to chase them but was called back by Mason. These guys who had fallen into barbarism were no longer a threat.
Let them be.
He stood in front of his flying motorcycle, watching the "unmanned" burning motorcycle slowly approaching him and finally stopping three meters in front of him.
The car was still burning.
Just like every time it took a burning breath, it seemed to have its own consciousness examining Mason in front of it.
"How could Johnny, who loves cars so much, leave your little baby here?"
Mason picked up the Phoenix Egg and approached the motorcycle. Under the protection of the Phoenix Egg's "Powerful Flame Absorption", he reached out and placed his hand on the handle of the evil ghost motorcycle. This action made the engine of the motorcycle roar, and it seemed that it could turn the front of the motorcycle and kill Mason in the next second.
But it ultimately didn't do that.
A second later, the information tag pops up:
Johnny Blaze's Ghostbike
Vehicle quality: Epic Engineering/Inscription/Enchantment Creation·Immortal Craftsmanship [Quality declines due to vehicle body breakage]
Vehicle characteristics: Source of Demonic Fire, Will of Hell, Rider Adaptation, Ownerless Object
Vehicle Effects: No Viewing Without Permission
Maker: Johnny Blaze/Zatanos
Item Description: The poor little baby has lost his owner, but perhaps he cannot understand that he has been abandoned. At this time, he needs a kind mechanic to comfort his confused and fragile heart and help him repair the severely damaged car body.
hint!
Perfectly repairing this item requires Engineering Lv7, Inscription Lv7, and Enchanting Lv7.
"You want me to take you to Johnny? You know I always run into him."
Mason stroked the badly damaged handlebars of the motorcycle and said:
"Okay, I promise, I'll fix you, but before I find Johnny , can you let me ride you for a bit?"
"Buzz"
The engine made an even more aggressive sound, as if scolding Mason for his rudeness. How could such a loyal motorcycle be allowed to be ridden casually like those slutty bitches?
That crazy Hell Knight can ride it because he is Johnny's collateral descendant.
But the high speed of the engine caused its body to fall off with a clang and hit the ground. This embarrassing scene made Mason and the Ghost Motorcycle fall into silence at the same time.
After a moment, the Ghost Motorcycle seemed to sigh, and shrunk its motorcycle body several times in the burning flames to fit Mason's "slender" body.
This is tacitly stating that Mason can ride it before finding Johnny.
But this is not without conditions.
Mason had to fix it, as the terrible state it was in was too undignified for the self-respecting Ghost Motorcycle.
"cool."
The hat on Mason's head said faintly:
"It's really desperate, maybe I should tell it that some reliable-looking young man promised to sew me up, but so far he has only done a barely adequate job.
Alas, I have put my trust in the wrong person. "
"Haha, Hat, shut up!"
