章節 252: Chapter 252
At this moment, Dormammu felt that his physical body was in tatters, and the anger in his heart swelled.
If he hadn't been relying purely on his spirit to sustain himself, his body would have collapsed, and even his bones would have fallen off.
It could be said that what he now possessed was a corpse, a tattered skeleton.
And if he hadn't been worried that his spiritual body would be rejected by the Earth after leaving this corpse, he would have chosen to leave long ago.
Despite this, he still felt the Earth's rejection of him growing stronger.
This was due to the top defensive magic circle that Kamar-Taj had built on Earth, with the three major temples as its core for thousands of years, covering the entire planet.
It was also a key factor in preventing dimensional demons from invading Earth.
Originally, it was better to have a physical body to shield him, but now...
At this moment, Lockhart's heart skipped a beat when he saw the cold, angry eyes of Dormammu.
His body was just bones, but he was still alive. Truly worthy of being a dimensional demon god.
Looking at Dormammu's attitude, Lockhart silently took out another venom bomb and threw it at Dormammu while the anti-magic effect was still active.
"Ant," Dormammu muttered as he saw the venom bomb coming toward him. He quickly dodged before finishing his curse.
The previous venom bomb had nearly destroyed most of his body, and another one would definitely finish the job.
At this time, Lockhart looked at the magic jammer on the side and sighed helplessly.
Most of the materials for the magic jammer had been made from the remaining Uru metal from the Destroyer Armor. Some of its internal components were also made of extremely precious and strong magic metals.
This was why the jammer had such an obvious effect, forming a realm of anti-magic.
But the result was clear now. Lockhart watched as the originally cold silvery-white surface of the magic disruptor turned fiery red.
Indeed.
Zhi! Zhi! Zhi!
Accompanied by the sound of malfunctioning, Lockhart felt the chaotic magic within his body return to normal.
The moment his magic stabilized, Lockhart looked at the half-crippled Dormammu and waved his wand.
"Avada Kedavra!"
In an instant, a green light shot toward Dormammu.
Dormammu frowned slightly at the soul attack of the killing curse. Normally, he wouldn't have even needed to dodge this.
Unfortunately, most of his body was destroyed and could only be controlled by his mental power.
With a thought, a large amount of dark magic surged out, forming a magic wall of pure dark power in front of him.
Boom!
The killing curse struck the magic wall, causing a slight ripple before the wall returned to its previous state.
The next moment, one magic wall after another gradually emerged around Dormammu, or rather, the dragon bone.
Click! Click! Click!
Several magic walls materialized and formed a magic fortress, surrounding him and the dragon bone.
Although the walls were made purely of dark power, their surfaces appeared crystal clear, like glass.
Dormammu, inside the magic fortress, looked coldly at Lockhart and the others, especially Lockhart, who had thrown the venom bomb. Murderous intent surged in his eyes.
He immediately turned back to the dragon bone, continuing to absorb its power.
The ceremony had been broken, and now it needed to be restarted. If he delayed any longer, he feared missing this rare opportunity.
Now was not the time to waste on the ant.
Dormammu's glance made Lockhart's heart skip a beat, but he also felt helpless.
He didn't want to provoke Dormammu, but the situation had escalated to this point.
With his thoughts racing, Lockhart looked at the solid black wall in front of him and called out to the basilisk.
Roar!
The basilisk roared angrily, swinging its huge tail, and struck the magic wall hard.
Boom!
With a roar, the snake's tail slammed into the wall, creating dense cracks.
But the next moment, the cracks quickly repaired themselves as dark magic flowed in to reinforce the wall.
Kaecilius and Morin, seeing this, focused on Dormammu, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the dragon bone.
The two stood together, holding their sling rings, and slowly traced a complex rune.
Soon, a large number of red flame-spears appeared mid-air, shooting toward the magic wall with a continuous banging sound.
Meanwhile, Elektra, following Lockhart's call, gathered a large amount of Black Sky's power behind her, forming the shape of a black panther.
A large amount of Black Sky's power condensed in the black panther's mouth, forming a dark ball of energy.
Boom!
The dark energy shot toward the magic wall with a roar.
Lockhart, floating mid-air, was surrounded by blue fireballs and, like the others, shot them toward the magic wall.
Whoosh! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Red flame-spears, dark energy balls, and blue fire hit the magic wall one after another.
Meanwhile, the basilisk swung its tail violently, striking the magic wall.
Visible to the naked eye, a large number of cracks appeared on the magic wall.
Although the cracks were healing, the damage was happening faster than the repair.
Soon...
Boom! ! !
With a roar, the magic wall exploded.
At the moment of the explosion, the basilisk took the opportunity to swing its tail, aiming to hit Dormammu, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.
But just as the basilisk was about to land the strike, a black mist enveloped Dormammu.
The next moment...
Boom!
With a loud noise, the ground where Dormammu had been sitting cross-legged was smashed to pieces by the basilisk's giant tail, cracks spreading across the surrounding ground.
However, Dormammu had disappeared, replaced by a black mist that appeared in mid-air.
As the fog dissipated, Dormammu floated in mid-air with his tattered body and said coldly:
"You ants don't appreciate the chance to survive. It seems that death is your only destination."
As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of dark blades appeared in front of Dormammu and shot toward Lockhart, the basilisk, and the others.
"Stay back!" Lockhart called to the basilisk, ordering it to shrink its body and prepare for defense.
He then waved his wand, creating a shield in front of him to block the incoming dark blades.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Lockhart, Kaecilius, Morin, and Elektra all used their own defensive methods to block the attack, producing a series of loud thuds.
Only the basilisk could rely on its strong body to withstand a large number of dark blades.
Roar!
The basilisk howled in pain. Although its scales had strong magical resistance, the caster was Dormammu, the demon god of the Dark Dimension.
In an instant, bloody scars emerged all over the basilisk's body.
Immediately afterward, the wounds began to turn black—a sign of dark magic erosion.
Roar!
The dark erosion brought immense pain, causing the basilisk to roar again.
Then it tried to shrink its body as much as possible, following its master's instructions.
Lockhart quickly rushed to the basilisk. At the same time, he waved his wand, summoning blue fireballs that shot toward Dormammu, who floated in the air.
Dormammu, seeing the blue fireballs, was curious. It was the first time he had seen such magic, and it felt strange to him.
But with a thought, a large black mist engulfed the fire, seemingly attempting to suppress it entirely.
However, the fire passed through the black mist. Though suppressed and reduced by half, it still hit Dormammu.
Whoosh!
With a cry, the fierce blue fire touched Dormammu's body.
As if stimulated, the fire expanded rapidly, burning Dormammu's body at an extremely fast rate.
This surprised Lockhart, who had just secured the basilisk, and he felt a glimmer of joy.
Dormammu is finally dead this time.
However...
A cold voice echoed throughout the hall.
"I didn't expect you, a bunch of ants, to do this. In that case, you will be my temporary body."
"Dark Illusion!"

章節 253: Chapter 253
Lockhart felt a little uneasy when he heard the sound coming from mid-air.
The next moment, he felt a massive spiritual force rushing toward him.
Immediately afterward, his vision went dark, and his consciousness began to blur.
Then...
"Damn, what is this?"
Lockhart, who had been unconscious, suddenly heard a familiar roar, and his awareness began to sharpen slightly. At the same time, a large amount of information flooded his mind.
"Soul invader detected within the host."
"Analysis: The host's soul is being corroded by a god-level split soul."
"Risk analysis: Given the current state of the host, although resistance is possible, the soul will inevitably be contaminated. To ensure the purity of the host's soul, the system will consume energy, devour the target, and nourish the host's soul power."
"Devouring initiated..."
"Warning: The target has escaped. The system only managed to devour 40% of the soul."
...
Lockhart, who had been partially conscious, suddenly felt his soul wrapped in a warm force, as if he were taking a hot bath.
Then, as he fully regained consciousness, Lockhart realized that his mental power was increasing rapidly.
Simultaneously, fragmented memories began to surface in his mind, including information about the Dark Dimension and many dark magics.
There was also knowledge of the dimensional origin!
Soon, after Lockhart roughly sorted out the memory fragments, he opened his eyes, looked around, and found that Kaecilius, Morin, Elektra, and the others were all still unconscious.
With his thoughts racing, Lockhart fixed his gaze on the dragon bone, a flicker of desire flashing in his eyes.
Among the memory fragments from Dormammu, it became clear why he had expended so much power to come in person this time.
It was because he had sensed that the dragon bone contained the power of the original dimension.
The so-called life extension and energy enhancement were only the most basic functions.
According to the remaining information in Lockhart's mind, for Dormammu, sacrificing this source of power would allow him to open a new channel and bring his true body to Earth, bypassing Kamar-Taj's security measures.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Dormammu to come to Earth while the three major temples still existed.
The power of the original dimension was the key to Dormammu's soul arriving in person.
For a wizard like Lockhart, absorbing the power of the dimensional origin would not only rapidly increase his strength but also enhance his potential and talents in all aspects.
Unfortunately, absorbing the complete source power of the true dimension could grant the soul the chance to become the master of that dimension.
However, even though the dragon bone was only a fragment of the dimensional origin, it was more than enough for Lockhart.
With these thoughts swirling, Lockhart walked directly toward the dragon bone.
He gazed at the crystal-clear dragon bone and the gentle energy it exuded.
Lockhart reached out to touch it, allowing his mental power to penetrate the bone, preparing to carve runes according to the method in his memory and extract the origin.
Suddenly...
"High-purity origin power detected. It would greatly benefit the host's soul. Integration is highly recommended."
"Danger detected nearby. The system will automatically extract the power."
"Extraction complete. The host may use it at any time."
Seeing this information appear in his mind, Lockhart's mouth twitched.
This system really cared about his soul.
However, he didn't have time to dwell on it.
He suddenly sensed a dangerous presence behind him. With a slight shake of his bracelet, a blue defensive shield appeared instantly.
Boom!
A black sword light collided with the blue defensive shield. With a bang, the black light shattered, leaving numerous cracks in the shield.
Lockhart turned and saw Elektra, with black lines etched across her forehead, holding two sai and glaring at him.
"Sorcerer, what is in your soul?" Dormammu asked through Elektra's body, his voice laced with fear.
If he hadn't escaped in time earlier, his entire soul would have been devoured.
However, sensing that Lockhart was nearing the dragon bone, Dormammu had abandoned the two sorcerers' bodies and chosen to invade Elektra, who was the easiest target.
Lockhart didn't respond to Dormammu's question, remaining silent.
"Sorcerer, leave the dragon bone, and I will spare your two friends." Sensing that the two sorcerers nearby were beginning to wake up, Dormammu changed tactics, adding, "If you want to take the dragon bone for yourself, then watch me kill them."
As he spoke, he gently swung his sai toward Kaecilius and Morin.
It was clear that Lockhart's lack of response hadn't satisfied Dormammu, who was prepared to strike Kaecilius and Morin at any moment.
In truth, he would have preferred to kill Lockhart directly.
Unfortunately, a series of events had drained Dormammu's mental strength, especially the damage to his soul from Lockhart's system, which had caused significant losses.
He now sensed a threat from Lockhart's soul that was nearly equivalent to that of a dimensional lord, making him even more cautious.
Lockhart knew well the trap hidden in Dormammu's words.
After some thought, he stretched out his wand and pointed it lightly at the dragon bone behind him.
The dragon bone floated in the air behind Lockhart. He then said to Dormammu, "I can give you the dragon bone, but how can I be sure that you'll let my two friends go?"
"You know your own reputation well. Without a guarantee, there's no way I'll hand the bone over to you."
Hearing Lockhart's response, Dormammu pondered for a moment and said, "I can sign a contract and guarantee the deal."
"I don't believe you." Lockhart shook his head and said, "With your abilities, it would be easy for you to renege on a magic contract. Unless you're willing to sign a contract witnessed by Vishanti."
Upon hearing Lockhart's request, Dormammu remained silent.
Vishanti's power was stronger than his, and once the contract was signed, the Sorcerer Supreme would likely learn of it immediately.
That would make things even more troublesome. Dormammu had dealt with the Sorcerer Supreme before, and he had suffered greatly as a result.
At that moment, Kaecilius and Morin slowly began to wake up.
"Lockhart, don't worry about me. Don't let Dormammu get the bone," Kaecilius shouted loudly upon waking.
"Yes, Lockhart, no sorcerer in history who has dealt with Dormammu has met a good end," Morin added. "Don't trust his promises."
"Two sorcerers, it wounds me to hear this," Dormammu said lightly, fiddling with the sling rings in his hands.
"I've had many dealings with your Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj. One has survived for so many years only because of the power of my Dark Dimension."
Saying this, Dormammu tried to tempt Kaecilius: "Kaecilius, if you want to live forever, you can follow in your Sorcerer Supreme's footsteps. By using the power of the Dark Dimension, you can achieve immortality."
"After all, relying on Vishanti's power is just one form of assistance, and relying on the Dark Dimension's power is another, isn't it?"
He then turned his focus to Master Morin: "Master Morin, the Dark Dimension holds far more knowledge than Kamar-Taj. Sacrifice, and you will gain both knowledge and longevity."
Suddenly...
A familiar voice echoed in Dormammu's ears.
"Dormammu, I don't need you to worry about my students. Leave them be."
Hearing this voice, Dormammu stiffened and turned his head slightly.
It was...
Kamar-Taj's Sorcerer Supreme—the Ancient One!
