## Chapter 350: Taken In
Under the curtain of rain, two green phosphorescent flames, each the size of a fist, pierced through the downpour and flew straight towards Constantine beneath the large tree.
It wasn't until the two phosphorescent flames reached Constantine, illuminated by the radiance of the magic array, that he clearly saw that behind the green phosphorescent flames was a giant skull flying in mid-air.
The pale skull's upper and lower jaws opened and closed, gnashing its fangs and sharp teeth, spewing poison smoke mixed with phosphorescent fire from its mouth. Just looking at this thing, it was clearly not to be trifled with.
However, Constantine was already fully prepared. He extended his left hand, and magic array diagrams beneath his feet flickered with a gleam, connecting him to a certain Creditor in Hell, recklessly borrowing "His" strength.
Boom! A hellfire dragon composed of intense heat reaching thousands of degrees Celsius directly blasted onto the skeleton demon that was rushing towards him, accompanied by a crackling sound of bone being scorched and shattered.
The entire skull of the skeleton demon rushing towards Constantine exploded under the high temperature, leaving only a wisp of black smoke that rolled and disappeared into the high altitude.
Listening to the piercing wails of souls echoing in his ears from the black smoke, Constantine took a deep drag of his cigar, mockingly saying with a cruel voice, "Indeed, another bastard playing with souls!"
Despite gaining benefit in the Evil God's God's Kingdom, Constantine didn't want to be the agent of that unknown Evil God. What a joke, was something like God War something a person with thin arms and legs like him could participate in? He had consulted ancient magic books and various histories of magic. Whenever the words "God War" were mentioned, the few brief descriptions involved casualties numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
This was just the casualties among mortals.
During the Crusades, countless magic users and wizards were caught up in it and died or were injured. Among them were many Important Figures in the history of magic, and many famous magic user families had their lineage severed from then on.
Even some Gods could not protect themselves in such faith-related God Wars and fell into eternal slumber.
To wage war against the Lord Jesus Christ and His Father, he would have to be insane to get involved.
However, being targeted by a ruthless character who dared to wage war against God, Constantine could only find a method to stall for time.
Fortunately, Constantine had extensive experience in this area. Like many heroes and villains in American comic books, Constantine was also a "lone star".
While still in his mother's womb, he had strangled his twin brother with the umbilical cord; upon birth, he had brought death to his poor mother.
His Father therefore resented this "lone star" son of his immensely, often beating and scolding the young Constantine.
After discovering that the adolescent Constantine was secretly researching dark magic and mysticism behind his back, his Father became even more enraged. He confiscated all of Constantine's book collection and burned them to ash.
Constantine was deeply saddened, but at this moment, he discovered that a magic book he had desperately saved contained the dark magic of "cursing others to die slowly".
Thus, in a moment of impulse, he cast this technique on his Father.
But gradually, he realized that he had never intended for his Father to die. The boy, starved for love, simply wanted his Father to listen to his thoughts more often.
However, the magic had already taken effect. His Father's vitality was visibly draining away little by little, and even the Doctor was helpless...
Constantine regretted it.
He frantically consulted various sources and finally came up with a method to stop the magic's rampage and save his Father's life.
After this incident, Constantine gained a deeper understanding of magic. He clearly recognized a truth, which was that "using magic must always come at a corresponding price".
After this, in order to become more powerful, he not only did not give up learning magic, but instead insisted on "arming his mind with knowledge", continuing to learn and constantly improve, step by step becoming a powerful magic user.
However, the shadow of the past still lingered in his heart and entangled his soul at all times, making him suffer the pain of failure and refusing to leave...
Therefore, throughout his long life, although he was proficient in spells and witchcraft, he mostly used his trickery and intellect to win.
Compared to the identity of a "magic user", he was actually closer to a "trickster".
It was precisely because of this that his trickery reached an unparalleled realm, deceiving angels above and tricking devils below, throwing Heaven and Hell into chaos.
And speaking of his victories achieved through trickery, one must mention his "Deception of the First of the Fallen".
This incident completely established his reputation in Hell, Heaven, and the entire Magic World.
The First of the Fallen was the first god to fall into Hell, one of the most powerful demon kings in Hell.
When Constantine, suffering from lung cancer, was drowning his sorrows with friends over beer, the First of the Fallen suddenly came knocking, demanding to take his friend's soul.
As one of the three rulers of Hell, the First of the Fallen didn't put Constantine, a mortal, in his eyes at all. He arrogantly provoked Constantine, claiming that all those Constantine loved were imprisoned in Hell, suffering.
This act deeply angered Constantine. He decided to use his superb trickery to defeat this arrogant demon.
In his friend's basement, there was a holy water spring, the water of which was the holy water most feared by the monsters and ghouls of Hell.
Constantine set up a magic array to turn the holy water into fragrant beer, then invited the unsuspecting First of the Fallen to drink fine wine with him.
After three rounds of drinks, Constantine suddenly overturned the magic array, turning the beer the First of the Fallen had drunk back into holy water.
