บท 254: Chapter 254
"Ancient One!"
Dormammu turned his head and looked at the ancient sorcerer not far away, shouting angrily.
Damn Ancient One, not only had she robbed him of the original power of the Dark Dimension, but she also used it to regularly pluck his energy.
Otherwise, he would not be at such odds with the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj.
It could be said that if he had been able to defeat the Ancient One, Dormammu would have fought against her long ago.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." The Sorcerer Supreme looked at Dormammu and teased, "I didn't expect this, Dormammu—you also like women's clothing?"
As she spoke, the Sorcerer Supreme stretched out her hand, and a full-length mirror appeared opposite Dormammu. "Don't tell me you have these perverted inclinations."
"Damn Ancient One," Dormammu growled, looking at Elektra's body in the mirror. He hadn't cared before, but hearing the Sorcerer Supreme's taunt ignited his anger.
Glaring at Kaecilius, he waved the sword angrily, as if wanting to vent his frustration.
"Dormammu, do you take me for a fool?" the Ancient One continued teasing. "Or has your intelligence declined after all that time alone in the dark? With your current strength, do you really think you can kill my students right in front of me?"
As she spoke, the Sorcerer Supreme waved her hand gently.
In an instant, the space shifted, and Kaecilius and Morin moved to the Sorcerer Supreme's side.
Dormammu's sword light struck the ground, leaving a deep mark with a bang.
"Sorcerer Supreme, we were fortunate you arrived in time; otherwise, Morin and Kaecilius would have..."
At this moment, Lockhart walked up to the Ancient One with the dragon bone and said with a hint of relief.
"Lockhart, you performed very well this time," the Ancient One praised. "You successfully interrupted Dormammu's attempt to arrive in full force and made a significant contribution to protecting the world."
"This is what we should do," Lockhart, Kaecilius, and Morin said in unison.
"By the way, Sorcerer Supreme, this is the dragon bone that Dormammu wanted." Lockhart quickly controlled the dragon bone to float in front of the Sorcerer Supreme and said, "Please take a look."
Kaecilius and Morin looked expectantly at the Sorcerer Supreme.
This action had been initiated by Lockhart, and he had mentioned that the bones had the effect of extending lifespan—a temptation Kaecilius could not resist. Morin had no reason to refuse either.
However, the situation had now escalated beyond their control.
With Dormammu's spirit having descended and the Sorcerer Supreme now present, it was no longer up to them to decide who the dragon bone would go to.
The Sorcerer Supreme chuckled, aware of what her students were thinking. "The dragon bone is indeed a valuable prize, but this is your victory. You can discuss its allocation amongst yourselves."
"However, the bone still needs to be cleansed before it can be used."
As she spoke, the Sorcerer Supreme waved her hand gently. Suddenly, a large number of black threads appeared on the surface of the once crystal-clear dragon bone, squirming like insects.
Seeing this, Kaecilius and Morin inhaled sharply. They hadn't sensed anything strange earlier.
Dormammu, on the other hand, snorted coldly at the Sorcerer Supreme's actions but said nothing more.
The Sorcerer Supreme had noticed the backup plan he had left in the bone.
Otherwise, he might have been able to recruit some followers from among Kamar-Taj's sorcerers. Even if it wasn't hugely impactful, it would have been enough to bother the Ancient One.
The Sorcerer Supreme smiled at Dormammu's movements, then stretched out her hand again.
The black threads squirming on the surface of the bone, as if attracted by something, quickly broke away and gathered in the Sorcerer Supreme's hand.
Soon, a massive black ball floated in her hand, exuding a dark energy.
Then, a golden flame appeared in her palm, and the black ball rapidly melted away.
The once crystal-clear bone on the ground shrunk slightly, revealing a faint gray tint.
Seeing this, Lockhart did not hesitate. He thanked the Sorcerer Supreme and then waved his wand, dividing the dragon bone into three parts as previously discussed.
Lockhart received 40%, while Kaecilius and Morin each got 30%.
Both Kaecilius and Morin quietly put their shares away, while Lockhart looked at the Sorcerer Supreme.
He then split his portion of the dragon bone in half and controlled it to float in front of the Sorcerer Supreme. With respect, he said:
"Sorcerer Supreme, I would like to ask you a favor."
The Sorcerer Supreme looked at Lockhart and the dragon bone he was offering with great interest. She replied softly, "Speak."
Hearing the Sorcerer Supreme's response, Lockhart glanced hesitantly at Dormammu.
Seeing Lockhart's expression, the Sorcerer Supreme turned to Dormammu and said, "Dormammu, would you prefer to leave with dignity or without? I can arrange either for you."
Dormammu snorted coldly at her words. "I will leave on my own."
At that moment, Lockhart seemed to remember something and quickly said, "Sorcerer Supreme, Elektra fought alongside us to defeat Dormammu, but right now, she is still under his control."
Hearing this, the Ancient One turned her attention to Elektra, who was still possessed by Dormammu, and said thoughtfully, "Dormammu, did you hear what my student said?"
"I don't want to go shopping in the Dark Dimension later. There aren't many valuable things left in your domain, after all."
At this, Dormammu's expression darkened, as he recalled how the Ancient One had entered his Dark Dimension before, as if it were her personal garden, burning, looting, and committing all sorts of atrocities.
He snorted again and said nothing, but he controlled his soul to exit Elektra's body.
He then complied with the Earth's rejection of his presence and returned to his Dark Dimension.
When Dormammu left, Elektra collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this, the Sorcerer Supreme flicked her fingers, and a pale golden light flashed over Elektra's body.
At the same time, a faint black mist floated out of Elektra and disappeared.
Vaguely, Lockhart thought he heard the Sorcerer Supreme whisper something.
However, he didn't dwell on it. Once Dormammu was gone, he spoke to the Sorcerer Supreme.
"Sorcerer Supreme, this micro-dimensional space was specifically used to store the dragon bones. However, with the bone now removed, I believe this space could serve another purpose."
"What do you think about moving this dimensional space to my Vientiane Book Café?"
