Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Clark's Interception
Under the expectant gaze of the demon, the holy fire of Constantine began to spread across his body. A glint of success and relief flashed in the demon's eyes, as it finally could be freed from Constantine's torment…
"Heh, think dying is that easy?" However, Constantine quickly came to his senses. He sneered at the demon in the holy fire, quickly understanding the demon's desire for death. But as the most despicable and shameless exorcist, Constantine was not about to let this demon off so easily!
"AAAAAH!"
As Constantine's words fell, the destructive power contained within the holy fire began to diminish, but the pain felt by the demon did not lessen at all. In fact, it began to scream again, unable to bear the pain.
"Even meat on the chopping block dares to provoke me, aren't you asking for this?" Constantine looked at the demon without a trace of sympathy. No demon in Constantine's presence deserved pity, not a single one!
"Kill me... kill me!" The demon's pained voice continually pleaded, but Constantine seemed not to hear, ignoring the demon's cries completely.
"Hmm?" However, just as Constantine was tormenting the demon, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, looking towards the place where the shapeshifting demon had spoken. His eyes slightly brightened, "Was that just now? A more powerful demon? This demon's aura is a bit strong, could it be, this is the makings of a demon lord?"
"That can't be let go, if this demon really can become a demon lord, it should be able to teach that guy a lesson… Hmph! This actually benefits you, demon, I have no time to waste on you now!"
With a "sizzle," as Constantine's words fell, the holy fire covering the demon instantly became scorching hot, burning the tortured demon on the spot, granting it release.
"This angel's blood is really powerful, no wonder it can nurture strong half-angels…" Soon, the holy fire in Constantine's hand disappeared. In his palm, a drop of crimson blood flickered slightly before dimming down, making Constantine mutter with some distress.
"Next time I encounter such a weak demon, it's better not to use angel's blood, too wasteful. But for the next demon, angel's blood's help is still needed…"
With a "buzz," as Constantine's words fell, mysterious magical symbols flashed in his hand. He had just sensed a faint demonic aura appearing within his magical symbols, chasing towards the direction where the shapeshifting demon had disappeared.
"I specifically learned this tracking magic for that guy, after all, the mark left on the sheep talisman by him was destroyed, finding his location is too difficult…" Constantine muttered to himself while tracking, "But whether this tracking magic is effective or not is still unknown, the previous attempts were all on some weaklings, this new demon is a good test subject."
Constantine really held a grudge, so much time had passed since Robert took his sheep talisman, yet he hadn't forgotten about Robert. He even persisted in finding a stronger demon or even a demon lord for Robert.
Robert himself was unaware of this, but if he knew, he would definitely thank Constantine sincerely! After all, an enemy who helps find strong opponents is hard to come by, Robert would wish for Constantine to remember this every day, continuously providing him with strong opponents to fight.
However, there seems to be a problem with Constantine's tracking magic now. When he arrived at the previous location of the shapeshifting demon, the tracking magic's clue directly broke off. It was unclear if the shapeshifting demon had discovered it, or if the demon's strength was special, causing Constantine's tracking magic to fail…
This made Constantine frown as he surveyed the surroundings, but he did not give up just like that. He felt that such a powerful demon nearby must leave some clues or have something to do, allowing him to thoroughly search the area.
Rarely encountering such a powerful, potentially demon lord-worthy demon, Constantine did not want to give up just like that!
Under the moonlight, Constantine in America searched for the traces of the shapeshifting demon. Similarly, under the moonlight in Paris, Diana carried Robert back to her home. This battle was even more intense than the last. Eventually, Robert and Diana had to move the battlefield to the sky to avoid completely destroying the ground…
In the sky, Diana suddenly received multiple boosts of thunderous power, her combat power making new progress, seemingly cheating as she directly suppressed Robert who could still counterattack.
Robert was preparing to forcibly transform into a giant ape, but the loss of combat power was too severe. Even in the giant ape form, it was difficult to reach a level that could contend with Diana's combat power.
However, Robert discovered another one of Diana's trump cards; it seemed the sky was truly Diana's home ground. It was unknown if Diana's power would be even stronger in stormy weather?
These thoughts flashed through Robert's mind as he slept. Soon, he was brought back home by Diana again. Diana looked at the sleeping Robert and smiled, playing with Robert's tail and laughing even happier at its reflexive reaction.
"Just now, that tail hit me, and it wasn't light!" Diana reminisced about the battle, when she deliberately tore Robert's waistband, releasing the tail for combat.
Indeed, having a tail was a significant help for Robert in combat, at least every time Diana was attacked by the tail, her reaction was bigger than being hit by fists and feet, although Robert didn't quite understand why…
"Sigh, you really need to grow up…" After playing with Robert's tail, Diana suddenly thought of something, looking at Robert's youthful appearance and sighed, whispering, "I don't want to be seen as a weird auntie when I take you out…"
Diana's words fell, and she naturally carried Robert into the bathroom, carefully washing the blood off his body. It took a long while before Diana carried Robert wrapped in a towel out of the bathroom again, looking at the sleeping Robert with a slight smile, appearing to be in a good mood.
The next day, Robert woke up in a room filled with a faint fragrance, not the same room he stayed in before, but he didn't react much. He naturally used a transformation spell to change into a set of clothes, because the scent around was too distinct, belonging to Diana.
This time, Robert didn't stay at Diana's place for too long. After two days, he directly started his return journey. After all, although most of the demon problem was solved, it wasn't completely resolved. Even Paris occasionally had one or two demons appear, let alone the Missouri and Kansas border that Robert and Clark deliberately skipped before.
Moreover, Robert had promised to help Peter Parker and others with additional training. Simple demons no longer posed much of a challenge for them. They needed stronger or more numerous enemies to progress…
Therefore, under Diana's somewhat reluctant gaze, Robert left Diana's embrace, and she softly said, "I hope next time we meet, you will have truly grown up…"
"It should be soon, I'll be eighteen in a few months." Robert nodded, counting on his fingers. The year was already halfway through, and Robert would soon be an adult, with a significant change in his physique.
With a "whoosh," Robert's figure vanished in front of Diana, heading towards the Kent farm. On his way past the Savage Island, Robert went down to check on Kong, but to his surprise, just as he had greeted Kong, Clark flew over.
"Clark? What are you doing here? Don't you have to deal with the demon situation?" Robert asked Clark, puzzled.
"The number of demons has decreased a lot these past few days. I came to talk to you about something and also to test your combat strength…" Clark caught a whiff of the fragrance on Robert and twitched his lips slightly, deciding to give Robert a reason to take another bath.
After all, Clark was now with Lana, and Lana's scent was different from this fragrance. He couldn't keep covering for Robert anymore.
However, Clark also knew that keeping this from Kara wasn't a solution, so he decided to protect Robert, this troublemaker, until he turned eighteen, and then let him fend for himself in the face of the upcoming storm.
"Isn't Robert always saying that he'll be able to grow up when he turns eighteen? Let that be his coming-of-age ceremony!"
"Fight?" Robert's eyes lit up. He was clearly aware of the gap between himself and Clark, especially after Clark forcefully destroyed the vibranium, Robert knew he was far from being Clark's opponent.
But now that Clark was initiating a challenge, Robert wanted to accept. Moreover, he felt that he hadn't provoked Clark recently, so this shouldn't be Clark's retaliatory strike…
"Roar!" However, facing Clark, Robert didn't dare to be careless. The Giant Ape's Rage hadn't been fully developed by Robert yet, so he directly transformed into the Giant Ape form, boosting his combat power to the limit.
"Roar!" Kong, seeing Robert's Giant Ape form, flashed excitedly in his eyes and also shouted, as if cheering for Robert.
"How come you didn't use this form when fighting with Diana?" Clark looked at the menacing Giant Ape Robert and commented with some bemusement.
"Eh? Clark, you actually spied on our fight? That's not very noble!" Giant Ape Robert said with dissatisfaction, gathering a Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack in his mouth, ready to blast it at Clark.
"Are you planning to destroy this place?" Clark reminded impatiently. In this state, Robert's combat power was increased tenfold, and the power of the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack was not much weaker than an empowered Kamehameha. This attack could potentially destroy the entire Savage Island.
"Why not take the battle to the sky like you did with Diana? Let's go up there!" Clark shot into the sky, suggesting that ground combat actually limited Giant Ape Robert because of Clark's smaller size. In the sky, as long as Giant Ape Robert could keep up with Clark's speed, it wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
Thus, despite having suffered a loss in the sky during the battle with Diana, Giant Ape Robert still soared upwards, chasing after Clark.
"Roar?" Kong watched as Giant Ape Robert and Clark disappeared from his view, envy flashing in his eyes. Kong had grown a bit more during this time, not much smaller than Giant Ape Robert, but he couldn't learn to fly like them.
"Boom!" Just as Kong's thoughts settled, a terrifying explosion sounded in the sky, the result of the Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack colliding with heat vision, creating a sun-like explosion in the sky, beyond what Kong could see.
The Savage Island, surrounded by a mist and essentially a small subspace attached to Earth, preserved Earth's appearance from millions of years ago. Despite Clark and Robert flying high, they hadn't left the space of the Savage Island.
In the sky, the battle between Giant Ape Robert and Clark was just beginning, but Giant Ape Robert felt it was already nearing its end.
Although Clark's combat skills were still not as good as his, they had improved significantly since their last battle. Coupled with Clark's strength, speed, and defense being superior, it was difficult for Robert to gain the upper hand…
Only Robert's Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack and energy waves could make Clark take the fight seriously. Clark had to admit, purely from a destructive power perspective, Robert was incredibly strong. If Robert really set his mind to it, not just in the Giant Ape form but even in his normal state, he could use energy waves to destroy the Earth.
Fortunately, Robert was not an invader or destroyer of Earth. He managed to control his destructive power somewhat during the fight.
With a "bang," the battle concluded with Clark's punch, sending Robert from his Giant Ape form back to his original shape and plunging into the ocean, achieving Clark's goal of getting him to take a bath…
