Chapter 51

Kamar-Taj.

Abel looked at Kaecilius, whose chest was covered in bandages, and walked over to him, asking, "Kaecilius, what's the matter? Is it caused by those demons?"

Nodding, Kaecilius replied, "If it were just an ordinary devil, I wouldn't be so injured. But there is a demon that can completely turn into the wind among those demons. His strength might not be extraordinarily powerful, but my attacks are mostly ineffective against him. His speed and agility are impressive, and I am not his match."

"A demon that can turn into the wind? Is there such a being on Earth?"

"They are all former angels, and after the Fall, they differ from ordinary hell-born demons."

Abel turned to look at the Ancient One, who was speaking, and said, "Ancient One, you just mentioned that there are others besides the demon that can transform into other elements?"

"The demon that can turn into the wind is called a wind demon. Additionally, there are earth demons and water demons. They are all fallen angels stranded in this world and belong to the demons of hell. It appears they have become part of the witch heart demon's forces. His minions have gathered the demons on Earth and want to do something significant."

[*I don't know who this "Witch Heart Demon" is, but I think they are referring to the "Blackheart," son of "Mephisto."]

"Heart Witch…" Abel had a vague impression of that name but couldn't recall where he had heard it. "What does the Heart Witch demon want to do on Earth?"

"I don't know, but according to the information obtained by Kaecilius, the sorcerer should be seeking something that Mephisto left on Earth."

"Ancient One, what is the strength of that witch heart demon?"

"The so-called heir created by Mephisto is powerful. He is second only to Mephisto in hell. It seems he has used a unique method to descend upon Earth."

At this point, the Ancient One turned to look at Abel and said, "Mage Abel, Kamar Taj will be fully responsible for dealing with those demons, but there is one thing I would like your help with. It is essential to know what the witch heart is searching for. This is very important to us, so I want to entrust you with investigating this matter. Perhaps we can uncover the truth behind this and deal with the witch heart."

"I need some clues; otherwise, I won't be able to find anything."

"This matter also relates to another individual. Now that the Heart Sorcerer has appeared, that person should have begun to awaken. The knight entwined with flames should be able to provide a clue."

The knight whose body is wrapped in flames…

Suddenly, Abel envisioned a skeleton knight surrounded by flames, driving a chariot of fire.

Ghost Rider!

So, that's it!

Abel finally unearthed relevant fragments of memory and roughly recalled the details of this matter.

To simplify, it is the story of an unfilial son seeking his father's secret weapon to usurp the throne, but he is thwarted by his father's general.

However, the general's strength is a bit formidable. Once released, the father can no longer control him, and in the end, he runs out of control. Of course, that is another story.

Following Ghost Rider could be beneficial, but the key is that Ghost Rider is extremely dangerous. It's hard to guarantee he won't come to my door to give me judgment, so I must follow him from a distance. My apparition and portal should be sufficient to keep up with him without being lost.

Thinking of this, Abel nodded and said to the Ancient One, "Ancient One, I understand. Leave this to me. I can't guarantee the outcome, but I will investigate the basic information thoroughly."

"Okay, thank you very much, Master Abel."

"You don't need to thank me for this. After this time, I have something to ask for your help with, Ancient One."

"Of course, we will discuss those matters once the Heart Witch issue is resolved."

"Ancient One, I won't bother you further, and I'll take my leave."

"Please, Master Abel."

Nodding, Abel opened a portal and left Kamar Taj.

After Abel departed, Kaecilius said to the Ancient One, "Ancient One, can Abel really handle this matter alone? If possible, I would like to assist him."

"Kaecilius, I'm glad that you and Abel have become friends, but you don't know much about his strength. Abel is now much stronger than when he first came to Kamar Taj.

At the very least, when facing most demons, he can protect himself and even confront them. You don't need to worry about him at all.

Besides, it's more convenient for him to work alone. There's no need to conceal any magic, and he can go all out when encountering an enemy."

"Hidden magic?"

Looking at the puzzled Kaecilius, the Ancient One, appearing unconcerned, nodded and said, "Yes, the magic system inherited by Master Abel includes white magic, and naturally, he possesses a lot of black magic as well. However, he mostly uses white magic, and at best, he engages in the less evil forms of black magic.

In fact, the power of black magic is stronger. This is something all magicians know. Therefore, we do not follow Master Abel so that he can truly display his strength. Otherwise, if he has to hold back, Abel may not be able to unleash his full potential."

"Black magic?"

The Ancient One looked at Kaecilius and sighed lightly, "Although Kamar Taj has always regarded black magic as very dangerous and most of its users as evil, people who can wield magic are still human, and those who use black magic do not necessarily become evil wizards.

However, the reason black magic is considered dangerous is that it erodes the user's mental state to a certain extent. A wizard with a weaker mind can easily be corrupted by black magic, becoming an evil wizard after learning and using it.

Among the mages of Kamar Taj, only you and Mordo are qualified to be exposed to black magic. However, Mordo's personality is too extreme, so I don't intend to let him engage with it. But you, Kaecilius, I believe you are qualified to explore black magic further.

After this event is over, I will arrange for you to practice black magic. I hope that during this time, you can stabilize your mental state and avoid being corrupted by it!"
