------------------------------------------------
Outside 177A Bleecker Street, Lionel and Makima stood on the sidewalk, looking at the building before them.
"This is the New York Sanctum; it truly is special."
In Makima's eyes, the somewhat retro building in front of them wasn't in the same space as the surrounding structures, nor even in the same dimension.
This building was merely a projection, the New York Sanctum's projection in reality.
Arriving at the New York Sanctum once again, Lionel's feelings were completely different from before; dense magic circuits radiated from the New York Sanctum in a spiderweb pattern towards the sky and even the entire Earth, forming a giant protective shield that firmly guarded the Earth.
"This change is brought by Soul Power. Can I already see solid magic?"
This was the first time Lionel had directly experienced the effect of the Entry [Soul Power].
"What do you want to do with Kuro?"
"It's simple. Let Kuro release the aura of a Dimensional Demon God. The task of those sorcerers is to deal with these extra-dimensional creatures. They will definitely come out once they sense Kuro's aura."
Lionel stated his method.
As for why he didn't directly let Makima release her aura to attract the sorcerers' attention...
That's because although Makima is a Control Devil, her type of Devil is very different from the native Devils of Marvel.
The native Demon Gods and Devils of Marvel all rely on a certain dimension, either being born directly from that dimension or later occupying it. Regardless of whether they were creatures of the real dimension before becoming Demon Gods or Devils, after becoming one, they assimilate with that dimension, becoming the embodiment or Master of the dimension. Their bodies clearly show extra-dimensional auras and possess powerful energy, a common characteristic that makes them very conspicuous in the eyes of sorcerers who frequently deal with other dimensions.
However, Makima, a Devil from the chainsaw man World, is very different. Although she is a Devil unlike humans, she is actually more like another type of creature, not like those Marvel Devils. She has no extra-dimensional energy in her body, or even any special energy. Even her body structure is no different from a normal human. When using her abilities, she doesn't activate any energy, but directly invokes the rule or law of control. Rather than saying she is a Devil, it is better to say she is the embodiment of the concept of control.
Kuro, who had been quietly standing at Makima's feet, immediately bristled. "Lionel, King has no grievances with you, why do you want to harm King?"
Ever since Kuro came to the real World, he had never dared to wantonly release his aura, fearing that the Ancient One, that old woman, would sniff him out, fleece him, and then kick him off Earth.
Today, Lionel, this fellow, actually wanted him to release extra-dimensional aura in front of the New York Sanctum. What was the difference between that and telling him to go die?
Lionel gave Makima a look, and Makima understood. She squatted down and began to stroke Kuro's head.
"You are my favorite little cat. For me, release the aura you've hidden, and I will like you even more."
Kuro's breathing became rapid. He stood upright directly, like a human, and patted his chest, guaranteeing:
"For Miss Makima, I can do anything! Even if the Ancient One, that old woman, were standing here, I would dare to pee on her big bald head!"
Kuro had forgotten that he wasn't actually a cat.
Lionel looked around, but didn't see a certain bald head.
This was reality, after all. If it were in some movies or TV shows, the Ancient One should now be standing behind Kuro, asking in a sinister tone, "Is it you who wants to pee on my head?"
Not seeing the anticipated scene, Lionel was a little disappointed.
"Meow!"
With a meow, Kuro's size instantly grew, becoming as large as a small car, with black mist swirling around his body, clearly not a good thing.
"Thieves of Kamar-Taj, come out and greet King!"
At this moment, inside the New York Sanctum, the Guardian of the New York Sanctum, Sorcerer Danny, was leisurely sipping tea with Sorcerer Supreme Gu Yi. Sorcerer Danny's appearance was strikingly similar to a certain Gandalf. Sitting there, he fit the image of a powerful sorcerer even more than Gu Yi. However, setting aside the concept of a sorcerer, Gu Yi still looked more powerful, after all, she was a bald powerhouse.
Sorcerer Danny, who was leisurely sipping tea, suddenly widened his eyes, and a mouthful of tea sprayed directly from his mouth.
Ancient One casually raised her hand, and the tea spraying towards her was frozen in mid-air. With a gentle wave, the tea returned to Sorcerer Danny's teacup.
"Sorcerer Danny, do not panic."
Sorcerer Danny couldn't calm down at all: "Sorcerer Supreme, there's a Dimensional Demon God outside! How dare he appear in front of the Sanctum! And he's provoking us! This is an insult to the Sanctum!"
Ancient One said, "Since it's unreasonable, then something unreasonable has happened."
Sorcerer Danny didn't understand, was Ancient One speaking in riddles?
"Alright, let's go out and see!"
Outside the New York Sanctum, Kuro was still clamoring.
Lionel was dumbfounded. He just asked this cat to release some aura, and he actually started provoking directly. He hoped he wouldn't get beaten up later.
Suddenly, a spark appeared behind Kuro, instantly forming a circle more than a person's height – it was Kamar-Taj's portal.
A white-bearded old man, much like Gandalf, jumped out of the portal. Kuro, hearing the commotion, quickly turned around, but Sorcerer Danny didn't wait for Kuro to resist.
"Crimson Bands of Cyttorak!"
Crimson energy bands shot out from Danny's hands, instantly binding Kuro.
Kuro was bound, roaring in his mouth, black mist slowly condensing around his body, trying to use the black mist to resist, but the speed was pitifully slow. The Crimson Bands of Cyttorak not only bound Kuro's body but also restricted the flow of energy within him.
This was a powerful magic constructed by the mighty magic of Cyttorak, Lord of the Crimson Dimension, possessing powerful binding effects.
Such powerful magic was not something every Mystic Sorcerer of Kamar-Taj could learn. Most sorcerers would only condense enchanted weapons with magic in their hands for close-quarters combat, but Sorcerer Danny was the Guardian of the New York Sanctum, almost the strongest sorcerer in Kamar-Taj besides Ancient One. Using this magic was very easy for him.
Having bound the Dimensional Demon God's avatar in front of him, Sorcerer Danny quickly formed complex hand seals. He was about to cast another powerful offensive spell.
"Master, please show mercy!"
"Sorcerer Danny, there's no need to continue attacking this avatar."
Lionel and Ancient One's voices sounded one after another.
Sorcerer Danny stopped his hand seals, looking confusedly at Ancient One who had stopped him.
Makima, meanwhile, went to Kuro's side, stroked his bristling head, placed her palm on the crimson bands binding his body, grabbed them, and pulled. The Crimson Bands of Cyttorak broke apart, section by section.
Sorcerer Danny, still confused, was startled. What kind of monster was this? She actually tore apart the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak with her bare hands.
"Master Ancient One, I finally get to meet you." Lionel greeted Ancient One with a smile.
