Heroes of Marvel Chapter 936: Knight Charge

Chapter 936: Knight Charge

As the old man unrolled the obviously ancient scroll, Johnny and Lin Rui, who were standing behind him, fixed their gaze upon it.

“Is this the Contract of San Venganza? So it really is with you!” Johnny exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the scroll in the old man’s hand.

Originally, Johnny had only heard Lin Rui mention that Blackheart wanted them to come to the cemetery to retrieve the contract. He had a.s.sumed that the cemetery only knew the location of the contract, but he didn’t expect it to be in the old man’s possession all along. 

This made the old man’s ident.i.ty even more mysterious, as Johnny wondered how he came to possess the contract. Could he be a descendant of a previous Ghost Rider? These questions raced through Johnny’s mind as he considered the possibilities.

“Yes, this is the Contract of San Venganza that allows Blackheart to collect the souls of countless evil spirits. I am entrusting it to you now, in the hope that you will be able to stop Blackheart.” The grave keeper nodded as he handed the contract to Johnny.

“Don’t worry! I will definitely stop Blackheart!” Johnny replied seriously as he reached out to accept the contract.

After accepting the contract, Johnny turned anxiously and prepared to leave immediately for the village of San Venganza, where Blackheart was waiting for him. However, the Gravekeeper held out his hand to signal for Johnny to wait.

“Do you know how to get to San Venganza?” The old grave keeper asked with a smile when Johnny hesitated.

“Uh…” Johnny was taken aback by the old man’s question. He had to admit that he had no idea where San Venganza was. He was embarra.s.sed that he had to ask for directions.

“Jackson, do you know?” Without waiting for the old man to speak again, Johnny turned to Lin Rui, who had been standing behind and had not approached. He hoped that Lin Rui might know the way to San Venganza.

“I don’t know either,” Lin Rui replied flatly after hearing Johnny’s question. Despite this, Lin Rui seemed unperturbed, as if he knew the issue would be resolved soon.

“So, you need a guide,” The old grave keeper continued.

“You mean…do you know where San Venganza is?” Johnny asked in surprise, looking at the old grave keeper.

“Well, wait for me for a while,” The old man nodded without further explanation, and then turned and walked towards his stable.

After standing next to the bike and waiting for a while, Johnny and Lin Rui saw the old man walking over leading a steed that seemed quite old.

“Is this your mount?” Johnny asked after examining the horse.

“Yes, it’s still very strong,” the old man replied as he easily mounted the horse.

“Do you think you can keep up,” Johnny said as he mounted his bike.

“Don’t worry, I won’t hold you back,” The grave keeper replied with a smile, adjusting his cowboy hat.

Boom!

Huh~

As soon as the Grave Keeper put on his hat, a fiery red flame erupted from his body, just like the h.e.l.lfire that appeared on Johnny’s body when he transformed into Ghost Rider. The fiery red h.e.l.lfire centered on the old man quickly spread to the horse beneath him, transforming it into a h.e.l.lfire horse under the influence of the h.e.l.lfire. The horse looked extremely cool with its fiery red aura.

“Carter Slade!” Johnny finally recognized the old grave keeper’s ident.i.ty after watching his transformation in front of his own eyes.

Johnny was about to transform into Ghost Rider as well, but he suddenly remembered Lin Rui standing next to him. If Johnny transformed, his bike would also be enchanted and infused with h.e.l.lfire energy, making it unable to carry Lin Rui. As a result, Johnny hesitated for a moment, wondering what to do.

“Don’t worry, I have my own ride,” Lin Rui said with a smile, understanding what Johnny was thinking as he stopped and turned to look at him.

“What? Didn’t you come here on my bike?” Johnny asked in disbelief upon hearing Lin Rui’s answer.

As Johnny and Lin Rui were talking, Carter Slade, the former Ghost Rider, watched Lin Rui with his black eyes. Despite having left after hearing the story earlier, Carter Slade had always known that Lin Rui was not an ordinary person. 

He wasn’t surprised to see Lin Rui following Johnny when he returned. However, he was curious about whether Lin Rui would really be joining them on their journey to San Venganza.

“Although my means of transportation is not as cool as yours, it is sufficient enough and I shouldn’t hold you back,” Lin Rui answered as he reached his hand across his waist.

Buzz~

As Lin Rui’s right hand slid across his waist, a slight spatial fluctuation emerged. Both Johnny and Carter Slade, who were sensitive to various special energies, noticed it and were surprised by what they saw next.

Brus.h.!.+

After the burst of spatial fluctuations, a futuristic-looking object resembling a metal surfboard appeared out of thin air on the ground in front of them, following the swipe of Lin Rui’s hand. If Johnny or Carter Slade were familiar with New York’s vigilante or s.h.i.+ELD’s latest mobile suit, they would recognize the black metal surfboard as a Hoverboard.

“Jackson, your ident.i.ty is becoming even more mysterious to me now!” Johnny couldn’t help exclaiming as he watched Lin Rui conjure such a large object out of thin air.

Huh~

As Johnny spoke, Lin Rui stepped on the Hoverboard that he hadn’t used in a long time.

“You can go now!” Lin Rui said as he stood on the Hoverboard, looking at Johnny who hadn’t transformed yet.

“Then…you have to follow closely!” Johnny didn’t waste any more time after hearing Lin Rui’s words. He twisted the accelerator on his bike and took off. Carter Slade followed closely behind on his h.e.l.lfire horse.

Boom!

The next moment, Johnny burst into flames and transformed into Ghost Rider. At the same time, his bike also quickly changed into Ghost Rider’s exclusive mount.

“Hahaha!” Johnny let out his signature laugh as he released the brake and sped off.

Boom!

“Rein!!” At the same time that Johnny rushed out, the h.e.l.lhorse ridden by Carter Slade let out a cry and its flaming hooves began to gallop.

As Carter Slade had indicated earlier, Johnny didn’t need to worry about being left behind. The h.e.l.l horse ridden by Carter Slade was not any slower than Johnny’s flame bike, and it was even cooler.

Lin Rui’s eyes flickered as he watched the old and new generations of Ghost Riders race out of the cemetery. He lightly stepped on the Hoverboard, activating its power system and launching himself into the air. He then chased after Johnny and Carter Slade in the lead.
