Chapter 178 Chapter 272 Chapter 273 Ancient One strikes, kills Lilith instantly

"Take back that page of the [Dark Book] and never let it fall into the hands of the [Supreme Mage]."

Kelly's orders seemed to contain some magical restrictions specifically designed to control Lilith.

Although the latter was resisting in his heart, he was completely powerless to resist.

At this moment, Ancient One, who was standing below, looked from afar at the altar on the island that connected to the [Hell Dimension], and the demon army that was pouring out from it, and frowned and said:

"Massive invasion of the real dimension, [Demon Lord], your actions have crossed the line!"

"[Supreme Mage], I am not here to start a war. I have come to this world only for revenge."

Lilith stared at Ancient One and carefully considered her words as she spoke, "Now that our great vengeance has been exacted, I can either lead the demon army back to Hell, or I can close the dimensional passage..."

After a brief pause, she raised her hand and pointed at Carl, who had transformed into a "skeleton man," and continued, "But the premise is that that guy must return what he stole from me!!"

Ancient One turned his head to look at Carl, but the latter was not moved at all and had no intention of explaining.

Ancient One couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

Sure enough, this abominable dimensional demon only causes trouble!
Anything related to him will become extremely complicated and a headache.

But who made the two of them a "strategic alliance"?

In addition, Lilith's illegal invasion of the real dimension has indeed touched the bottom line of Kamar-Taj.

Naturally, it is impossible to negotiate terms with the other party.

Otherwise, if word gets out, those who think Kamar-Taj is weak and can be bullied might follow suit!

It would be really troublesome if they were everywhere!
and so……

"I don't care about the relationship between you two, but your actions have violated the rules of Kamar-Taj."

Ancient One's eyes were deep, and his tone was deep and firm as he said, "You must take all the demons away from the earth immediately, stop doing evil in the real world, and make a contract with your souls, never to appear on the earth again!"

"If you agree, I'll let you go..."

Ancient One did not say the second half of the sentence, but everyone knew what that part would be.

Faced with such a tough statement, a trace of struggle flashed in Lilith's eyes.

Reason told her that she should do as Gu Yi said in order to save her life.

The real world is not her home ground, and she would not gain any advantage if a real fight broke out.

But the control Kelly exerted on her made her make a completely different choice. "So there's no room for negotiation? Go for it!"

As the order was given, the surrounding demon army immediately pounced on the people on the "Ghost Yacht".

These low-level demons are not as afraid of Ancient One as Lilith and other great demons are.

Their minds have always been relatively simple, and they don't know what fear is.

Not to mention who the bald guy opposite is, the [Supreme Mage]!
Because unless specific methods or special forces are used to eliminate them.

Otherwise, even if they die, their souls will return to the [Hell Dimension].

Then, as long as it takes a certain amount of time... after 18 years, you will be a brave man again!

So there’s nothing to be afraid of, just do it!

However, just when Lilith was about to take advantage of the interference of the demon army to snatch back the [Immortality Trait] from Carl.

But then he saw Ancient One, who had his hands behind his back, stretched out his right arm and gently waved it in the direction of Lilith.

click-

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the next moment, the space where Lilith was located was suddenly covered by layers of flowing mirrors.

The figures of Gu Yi, Carl and others gradually became blurred and eventually disappeared.

Obviously, she has been taken into the [Mirror Space].

"Damn it, Ancient One, let me out!"

Lilith's eyes flashed with a bloody red light, and strands of dark energy emanated from her body, as if she wanted to use her own original power to forcibly break through the confinement of the [Mirror Space].

Swah——

But just as she made a move, sharp crystal cones suddenly shot out from the mirrors around her, locking her body in place and making her unable to move.

Lilith, with a look of reluctance on her face, activated the dark energy, trying to smash the crystal cones, but it was of no avail. Instead, she was pierced by the crystal cones and bled all over.

Obviously, her strength is not enough to compete head-on with Ancient One.

"When you have made up your mind, I will let you go..."

Ancient One's voice echoed faintly in the space, but was soon drowned out by Lilith's angry roar.

real world.

Ancient One held a seal in her hands and slowly opened them outward in front of her. The Eye of Agamotto hanging on her chest began to rotate, and a bright green light suddenly emanated from within.

"It's the Time Stone!!"

Carl glanced at him inconspicuously, and then forcibly suppressed the urge in his heart to "rob him".

Because now is not the time...

Gu Yi gently turned his palm, and once again formed a complicated seal with his fingertips, and then pushed hard in the direction of the altar through the air.

boom--

The [Time Gem], which had originally only emitted a faint glow, suddenly burst into bursts of dazzling light.

The powerful [White Magic], with the help of the [Time Stone], instantly opened a "two-way" portal in the altar that connected to the [Hell Dimension].

It has become a "one-way" portal that only allows entry into the [Hell Dimension] from the real world, but cannot travel from the [Hell Dimension] to the real world!

Even Ancient One, who holds the title of Sorcerer Supreme, has to rely on the power of the Time Stone to completely close the portal.

The reason she kept half of it was simply to drive back more demons.

After all, compared to killing, expulsion is more convenient and less risky.

While Ancient One was making her move, the masters of arcane magic who were originally standing behind her also rushed towards the demon army.

Some of them held magical weapons, while others directly used the [Ring of Raggador] and [Energy Whip] to fight.

With the blessing of Vishanti's [White Magic], their attacks can often cause great damage to demonic creatures from the [Hell Dimension].

But in sharp contrast to many "melee mages", Casillas and Wanda demonstrated extremely impressive long-range magic attacks.

The former quickly formed seals with his hands in front of him, and after briefly accumulating strength, he pressed heavily to the ground.

Boom boom——

Two orange-red chain lightning bolts suddenly rushed out like two swimming dragons, leaping and conducting back and forth between the demons.

Any demon struck by these two lightning bolts, no matter how strong their physique or how tough their skin, will have a big hole instantly burned through their body by the scorching heat.

This is the large-scale, offensive, high-level magic—[Thunder of Bossat]!!

In the original work, Doctor Strange used this trick when he fought against the "Four Gems" Thanos on Titan.

However, since the transmission speed was not as fast as Thanos' reaction, it failed to hit.

But right now, it was perfect for dealing with these low-level demons that were densely packed and had no brains. The demons around them fell in droves like wheat being cut.

The fierce attack just now suddenly came to a halt!
However, during this process, [Thunder of Bossat] almost injured those mages who chose close combat several times, which made everyone feel dissatisfied.

However, Casillas chose to turn a blind eye to this.

The conflicts between mages seemed to be intensifying quietly.

……

[Reputation +99, +79, +59...]

[Collectable demon soul fragments detected, subspace soul count +1, +1, +1...]

……

As for Wanda, after the battle started, she relied on the abundant magic power in her body to fly directly into the air.

The blood-red [Chaos Magic] continuously emanated from her white fingertips.

In the blink of an eye, a huge, indestructible spider web was woven in mid-air.

The demons flapping their wings in the air and rushing towards him had no time to react and were all stuck to him like flying insects.

No matter how they struggled, it was useless and they couldn't escape!

Then, Wanda slowly clenched her fingers.

The huge spider web in the air also wrapped up into a ball and continued to shrink inward... Finally, with a "puff" sound, black blood emitting a foul smell of sulfur rushed down.

In the face of the immensely powerful [Chaos Magic], these hellish creatures were completely powerless to fight back.

……

[Reputation +201, +137, +88...]

[Collectable demon soul fragments detected, subspace soul count +1, +1, +1...]

……

The reason why Wanda acted so cruelly was, on the one hand, because these demons threatened Carl's safety, so she was very angry and the consequences were serious!
On the other hand, she had only recently learned how to harness the "awakened" [Chaos Magic] within her body, so she wasn't very skilled in controlling it.

Ancient One looked at Wanda's figure in the sky and said with some concern: "She has a strong murderous intent, just like you..."

Carl, who was standing aside, was concentrating on thinking about why Wanda could suddenly help him harvest [reputation points] and souls.

After hearing what the other party said, he immediately retorted with some displeasure: "I'm warning you not to talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for defamation!"

Who would have thought that Ancient One would gently shake his head and say in an extremely serious tone:
"Wanda's fate was obscured by a powerful force. I originally thought it was influenced by you, but as [Chaos Magic] awakened within her, I realized that this was not the case..."

???

If Carl's head had not turned into a skull burning with flames at this moment, Ancient One would definitely be able to see the wonderful changes on his face.

No, it’s just a joke... You big bald guy, didn’t you know that Wanda had [Chaos Magic] before?
I thought you knew it all!
Karl couldn't help but complain in his heart.

He had unknowingly fallen into the same common mistake that almost all time travelers make.

It means that subjective consciousness is easily influenced by movies or comics, which leads to excessive deification of certain specific characters, or even filling in the blanks on one's own imagination!

But the facts prove that some "gods" are often just more "godlike" than you think!
Just like the Ancient One in front of him.

Although she appears to be "omniscient and omnipotent" in film and television works.

Even his death by Casillas was exaggerated by some people as the result of him being tired of the long-term guarding and leaving the opportunity and responsibility to the next successor.

Carl had thought so before.

But now that I think about it, I find such remarks quite funny.

Don’t say anything else.

If Ancient One really wanted to make way for the next generation, why did he have to choose the stupidest way of being "intentionally" killed?
Couldn't she just find a reason to retire?

Or maybe just enter the [Mirror Space] and live alone?

Is it that she can't think of it, or can't do it?
and so……

Where is there such a thing as an "omniscient and omnipotent" [Supreme Mage]?
Even though Ancient One survived for hundreds of years through "borrowing", he still couldn't escape the essence of being a human being... Everyone makes mistakes!
But there is one thing Carl will never deny.

There is no doubt that Ancient One is powerful. The fact that he killed Lilith in one move just now is the best proof!

So Carl thought about it and asked tentatively: "In other words, Wanda will be in uncontrollable danger in the future?"

Ancient One was equally confused by this, "This... I don't know for now."

Depend on!
Remember next time, don’t tell me anything you don’t know!

Carl no longer paid attention to the heavy-hearted Ancient One, and first used the [Mind Chain] to check on Selina's situation.

Then he used his consciousness to order Frank and others far away in [Sokovia]: "Action!!"

…………

……

In [Impossible City].

The conference hall has fallen into an eerie silence.

Almost everyone's eyes were focused on Selina.

No one had expected that this [Moon Goddess] would dare to openly refuse... no, it should be said that she openly provoked Sharus.

Although many people secretly admire Selina's courage and determination to face the powerful.

But such a tit-for-tat approach is really unwise.

As long as I can save my life, I don't care who I am or who I am a dog for.

"Selina, as the leader of the [Wizards' Coven], I'm sure you understand the consequences of rejecting me, right?"

Sarus was stunned for a moment before he threatened with a sullen expression:

"Although I admire your courage, your reckless actions just now may very well lead to the destruction of the [Wizards' Association]. Are you ready to bear the consequences?"

Maybe it’s because of a man’s desire to conquer…the more he is rejected, the more he wants to get it!
Or maybe he simply wanted to show off his toughness in front of all the sect leaders.

In short, Sharus did not explode immediately, but chose to use the survival of the [Wizards' Council] as a bargaining chip to force Selina to compromise!

however.

He was destined to miscalculate again this time.

Despite the threat, Selina maintained the composure that drove Sharus crazy, and retorted nonchalantly:
"Of course I'm prepared for that, but if you want to destroy the [Wizards' Guild]... you have to survive today, right?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Sharus frowned when he heard this. Although he acted rashly, he was not completely brainless.

Naturally, I wouldn't think Selena would speak nonsense at this time.

The calmness displayed on the other person's face is definitely not something that can be faked through bluffing!
But this is exactly what makes Sharus extremely confused...
