Kapitel 253: Kaecilius

John went back home and directly extracted the House of Mysteries. He had been changing his homes quite frequently and now finally he has a home where he could spend for eternity. John spent a 100 million to extract the House of Mysteries.

Near the tower of Fate he proceeded to extract the house. He called Audino and both went in. As the House had a spirit by itself, she manifested near John as they went in. Audino didn't expect another person at their new home.

The spirit looked at Audino and petted her cheeks. The spirit loved Audino the moment she saw her and Audino too was happy to have another person living at the house. John wasn't at home all day so she felt a little lonely. Now finally she had someone to play with.

John then went around the spacious house. This house was big and had everything. From huge bedrooms to multiple kitchens and bathrooms. A cozy fire place and huge halls. This house had everything John had wished for. And now this house had a spirit too by itself, so all in all John was happy.

The days went by as usual and soon it was October. John had kept an eye on Earth as it was time for Doctor Strange to emerge. John didn't know how the story would proceed but he would try saving the life of the Ancient One. Constantine was brought solely for that purpose.

The story of Kaecilius followed like it was supposed to. He went to steal the pages of Cagliostro and ran away the moment the Ancient One emerged to stop him. He and his zealots ran after coming out of the London Sanctum. But after running a few metres they noticed that they were trapped in the mirror dimension.

Kaecilius and his zealots thus started the fight against the Ancient One in the mirror dimension. Soon he realized that he wouldn't be able to win so he opened a portal with his sling ring.

The zealots ran to the portal to escape but only to realize that the portal closed by itself. Kaecilius who saw this turned his head to look at the Ancient One but he saw here still fighting the zealots. So he was confused about what just happened. He opened a portal again only to be closed the next second.

He was running out of time as the Ancient One had started killing the zealots. As he was thinking that another portal opened and out came a tall blonde guy with an overcoat.

The Ancient One stopped fighting the moment another person emerged in the mirror dimension. The zealots too stepped back because they had no idea how another person came into the mirror dimension. And they even noticed he didn't have a sling ring.

The Ancient One sighed as she saw that, because the emergence of this new person now has changed everything.

"What? Don't want to continue the fight? This is the mirror dimension isn't it? Fight to the death. I am here as a referee and see that the contestants don't run away." the man said. Kaecilius didn't speak a word and conjured Rings of Raggaddor to fight this new person while the zealots continued to assault the Ancient One.

The person was John Constantine.

"Mate, you should never assault the referee. Your mother never taught you the rules of fighting?" the man said as he uttered a spell and directly used magic to shoot at Kaecilius. He was thrown metres away and even his rings of Raggaddor couldn't defend against the magic attack of Constantine.

By this time the Ancient One had killed all the zealots and only Kaecilius left. Kaecilius knew he wouldn't be able to escape. He still couldn't get up from the hit of Constantine and the Ancient One had tied him down by folding space in the mirror dimension.

"That's a nasty trick you got there." Constantine spoke to her for the first time.

The Ancient One looked at him for a second before saying "Did he send you to interfere?"

"If you are asking about the Jameson lad, you are correct." Constantine said. She now was sure that John was behind this. She then looked at Kaecilius who was still stuck.

"Kaecilius, you have hurt your fellow colleague in your pursuit of power and thus I give you death." the Ancient One said.

"You are just a hypocrite." said Kaecilius. She didn't reply to that and waved her hands. The space folded and a wall closed on Kaecilius. He didn't even get to utter a word in his defense.

Thus the person who was responsible for the future summoning of Dormmamu died very early. After seeing his death he turned to Constantine and said.

"Your magic is a little bit dark."

"So is yours, Sorcerer Supreme. So is yours. We both belong to the same category it seems." Constantine smiled as he said that.
