And in that dark space in the Himalayas, that gorilla-like metal monster had been very afraid of dark magic. Although Blaine did not know why, he kept it firmly in mind. After all, it was his enemy, and now that he knew their weakness, how could Blaine not prepare some dark magic as a backup?
Thinking about the Ancient One—the only remaining Sorcerer Supreme, a sorcerer who wielded black magic and white magic with equal mastery, and an old woman who absorbed the energy of the Dark Dimension to maintain her life—when he thought about it this way, there was no reason for Blaine not to fight her while she was still alive.
"Do you have to fight?"
Hearing Blaine's sudden request, the Ancient One was stunned for a moment, but the smile at the corner of her mouth already represented her answer.
"What do you think?"
After speaking, Blaine smiled slyly beneath the hood of the Hunter suit.
With his hands crossed and several gestures made, a golden magic circle suddenly appeared in front of him. In the next second, a ray shot out of the magic circle. Right in front of the servant who was cleaning the tea table nearby, and right there in the living room, the ray flew directly toward the Ancient One.
It was just that this ray did not seem to be the same color as the golden magic circle. Instead, it was dark blue, which looked extremely incompatible with the spell circle, yet Blaine was very familiar with it.
Not just because it had been released by Blaine himself.
"Dormammu Ray!"
"As expected of a bounty hunter."
Yes, that was right. It was the Dormammu Ray.
Previously, Blaine had analyzed Dormammu's moves and obtained a dark matter magic skill. However, the difference was that Blaine had copied Dormammu before, so the method of release had also used the mouth as the medium.
At that time, Blaine had felt that this release method was a little awkward. But no matter how embarrassing it was, it was still a skill with decent lethality. Now, however, Blaine had found the true method of using the Dormammu Ray in the Ancient One's library. After Blaine's innovation, it had reached the point where it could be released through gestures alone.
Moreover, because Blaine had been researching magical skills these past few days, he had continued to optimize and perfect the Dormammu Ray according to his own usage.
Now, Blaine was not only able to release it instantly, but could also enhance its power according to the characteristics of the Dormammu Ray's dark matter energy.
It should be known that the Dormammu Ray relied on the energy of dark matter. In other words, the denser the surrounding dark matter energy, the stronger the power of the Dormammu Ray.
But now it was different.
After Blaine's improvements, the Dormammu Ray could not only combine with dark matter energy, but could even absorb other energies from the surrounding air.
Of course, it had to be a kind of energy similar to dark matter.
However, even so, it was already much stronger than before. After all, in the real space where Earth existed, the energy of dark matter was not as dense as it was in the place where Dormammu resided.
Moreover, Blaine believed that it would not be long before he learned how to make a magical artifact, integrate a magic circle, and incorporate magical skills.
At that time, Blaine could also let the Dormammu Ray absorb other energies to enhance its power, such as advanced versions of lightning elements, fire elements, water elements, or even moon energy like the Dragon's Half-Moon Slash.
The seemingly black, simple Dormammu Ray had been transformed by Blaine, making it different from before. All of this was naturally due to Blaine's hard work over the past few days, allowing him to master so many spells and upgrade and improve his other skills. Soon, Blaine would continue to innovate and apply this improvement to his other abilities as well.
Looking at the Ancient One, who was facing the improved version of the Dormammu Ray, she still seemed as calm as an ancient well without ripples, a smile on her face.
It was just that if she did not take action, this living room would probably be lost. Do not underestimate the strength of Blaine's attack. Because this was only the first strike and a tentative blow, Blaine had not used all his strength.
However, Blaine had clearly worried too much. Just as the modified Dormammu Ray whistled through the air and was about to strike the Ancient One, she pushed forward with both hands.
Unexpectedly, even the improved Dormammu Ray still burst with a bang, its energy dissipating between heaven and earth like green sheets of paper, silently scattering away.
Blaine remembered this move.
It seemed that if the plot of the Marvel universe did not change because of Blaine, then in the near future, Thanos would collect all six Infinity Stones—because the Ancient One was close to death.
That was when Thanos, with five Infinity Stones, fought Stephen Strange, Tony, and the others on Titan. Thanos, whose face had been wounded by Tony, directly summoned meteorites to attack.
And Stephen Strange had used this move. Pushing forward with both hands, the space before him suddenly burst open. The attack that had been about to strike him also dissipated into green paper-like fragments flying across the sky.
His gaze returned to the present.
Unfortunately, when Blaine had released the improved Dormammu Ray just now, he had only wanted to test the Ancient One. Unexpectedly, she had used this move, which surprised Blaine. Unfortunately, Blaine had not had time to open his copy eye…
Crack, crack…
Another fragment…
Click, click, click…
After the Ancient One made her move, she immediately made another one, as if she were suddenly attacking Blaine.
The Ancient One moved both hands in front of her body. After quickly making several gestures, she confidently placed one hand behind her back while waving the other backward. Suddenly, something like a mirror appeared in the center of the living room.
It was as though someone had placed a mirror several meters high behind the Ancient One, except it could not be touched, even though it could be seen. Perhaps it had condensed the air into a mirror.
Just when Blaine thought the Ancient One was really going to fight him with one hand, the mirror suddenly clicked and shattered just like that.
Only, the broken "mirror" did not fall to the ground according to gravity. Instead, it remained floating in midair as before.
Blaine was already prepared to receive the Ancient One's magic, but it did not look like an attack. Looking at the Ancient One, he saw that half-smile expression on her face again. Then the Ancient One glanced at Blaine, turned her head, and walked into the fragmented mirror behind her.
