Yo! I heard there are vengeful souls here

John started using more weapons and even took a sword in his own hand.

The Dainsleif.

The cursed sword. A sword when drawn requires to draw blood before it is being put down. Even though this curse wouldn't actually affect him. After getting all the powers of Gilgamesh, the knowledge of sword fighting was one of them. He never used it until now because he never had the chance or the situation to show off his skills, until now.

As small demons started approaching them, he wielded it as he cut down who came closer, all at the same time launching his weapons as projectiles. Interestingly, the Phoenix itself came out of his body to help him in this fight.

"What happened? Got bored?" John asked her. Even though he was the host of Phoenix she hardly talked with him. It was as if she was always sleeping.

"Never liked the people associated with the elder gods of old times. They should have died during the purge of Nemesis. It's a pity. Now we have the chance again to bring someone of their ranks down. I will not let this chance go." she said in a sweet tone as she flew around burning the demons with her fire. Even if the demons were inherently resistant to fire, her fire was more than enough to kill them.

"You seem like you are confident that we will win." John said as he cut the throat of one demon with his sword.

"After all this time, I have understood one weird fetish of yours. You keep your cards hidden and don't bring them out until absolutely necessary. Be it your weird plans or powers." Phoenix spoke in a low tone so that nobody could hear in all the killings and beheading done by their team.

"Oh.. hehehe..." John said as he admitted involuntarily. He really did have the habit of keeping his cards hidden. And bring them out when it is absolutely necessary.

Meanwhile, there was a huge battle between Mephisto and Lucifer. Lucifer finally got serious and changed himself to the classic devil form.

With red skin and wings. And Mephisto too proceeded to use all his powers.Even if Mephisto was the ruler of the dimension, Lucifer was a God in his own ranks. So the battle was legendary to say the least.

In order not to affect the team who was fighting the demons, Lucifer managed to lure away Mephisto and fight far away. And Mephisto himself didn't want to be the reason for killing his subordinates.

But he was frustrated as he continued to fight him. He wasn't on the losing side but he wasn't on the winning side either. No matter how he tried he couldn't overwhelm or even give a satisfying punch to Lucifer.

He got hurt and he was able to heal himself but Lucifer didn't even get a bruise. This annoyed him.

"Lucifer. You have violated the deal. You will be punished by all the other angels." Mephisto said as he wanted to stop the useless fight.

"You don't seem to understand. I don't belong here. I have been invited and I am not bound by any rules. And nobody has any power here over me. So you my friend, what the common little runts say... what was that word... aaah yes... You are truly f**ked." Lucifer as he used his wings to swipe at Mephisto.

He didn't understand what Lucifer meant by that. All he understood that deal didn't apply to him.

"You think I am helpless. You are gravely mistaken. This is my place and you are just uninvited guests." Mephisto said as he waved his hands and did some magic. And when he completed it, huge monsters started emerging from the ground. There were multiple such monsters and they appeared all over the battlefield. Crushing everything around as they emerged.

Made of earth itself and their heads were on fire with huge horns. They looked menacing with their curved fangs and huge stature. They looked like the stone skinned demons but on the scale of skyscrapers.

"F**k!!" Geralt said .

"This is too much, even for us." Mordo said as he conjured more rings in his hand while using the other to bring out his staff.

John who looked at it sighed. He thought Constantine, Ciri, Wanda, Strange and himself would be able to hold them off for a much longer time. But it seemed like they couldn't. They needed help here with so many huge demons.

All the team members gathered in a small circle to face the demons that were approaching. All had a grave face. Except for John, all feared that this mission was unsuccessful and they would have to return back.

Until a shout came from behind high up in the air

"Getsuga Tenshou!!!"

And then a huge beam of white light passed by from over their head. It hit the body of the first huge demon who was approaching. The beam passed by the body and went on a few kilometres behind.

Killing everything in its wake, including a huge demon that had emerged a few seconds before.

"Yo!! We heard there are vengeful souls trapped here."
