The Sky Temple's Destruction

When it comes to combat skills, none of the people present are as skilled as Mordo.

Even when Kaecilius was an apprentice, Mordo played a role similar to the Grand Master of Kamar-Taj.

It was specifically designed to teach the novice mages of Kamar-Taj how to fight.

Logically speaking, Mordo's combat skills should be able to largely cover up his lack of strength among the melee mages of Kamar-Taj.

However, when the difference in strength is too great, some qualitative changes will occur.

The three fought against Kaecilius, Mordo struck Kaecilius with his energy weapon no less than three or four times.

However, the slippery scales on his body, similar to those of an amphibian, always protected him from most of the damage.

The three of them, Mordo and his companions, grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed. Kaecilius, on the other hand, laughed heartily. He too had become aware of the defensive capabilities within himself, so he simply stopped defending and chose to trade blows.

This greatly increased the pressure on Mordo and the other two. Mordo was alright, as his magical boots allowed him to nimbly dodge attacks.

However, Doctor Strange and Wang Ke didn't have such agile magical artifacts, and they almost got injured several times, with their clothes already having several cuts.

Compared to Doctor Strange, Wong was in a much worse state, having shielded Doctor Strange from Kaecilius's attacks several times.

Although the energy shield in his hand could perfectly defend against the blade, his internal organs had been injured by the abnormal force of Kaecilius.

Several people were engaged in a chaotic battle when suddenly the entire Sanctum trembled, a powerful burst of magical energy erupted, and then slowly disappeared into the void.

Doctor Strange and the others inwardly cried out in alarm; the foundation of the Sanctum's array had been destroyed.

The more panicked you are, the more chaotic your actions become.

Especially the King, who bore the title of Sky Temple Mage and, according to Kamar-Taj tradition, was to protect the Sanctum with his life, and now the Sanctum has been destroyed.

The most fatal flaw was his lack of concentration during the battle. With the Sanctum destroyed, the king felt his mind buzzing and his hands slowed down.

Kaecilius, of course, wouldn't let this opportunity slip by. He slashed diagonally at Wang with the energy blade in his hand. The blade, which was originally only the size of a short sword, suddenly grew to more than a meter long.

It looked like if the knife were to strike, even if Wang didn't die, he would be seriously injured.

Mordo had just dodged the attack in mid-air and arrived behind Kaecilius, but it was too late to stop him, so he could only throw out the energy shield in his hand.

The energy shield's sides were as sharp as Blades. Mordo swung it sideways, and the energy shield, like a cutting gear, hurtled towards Kaecilius's back.

Kaecilius certainly sensed the whooshing sound behind him. After fighting for so long, he finally had a chance to seriously injure someone, so he was not about to give it up easily.

Without dodging or evading, he took the full force of Mordo's attack head-on.

The scales on his back shattered instantly; Mordo had struck him in the back. Even with his high defense, Kaecilius was Mordo to cough up a mouthful of purplish-black blood, mixed with fragments of internal organs.

It's unclear whether Kaecilius was extremely confident in his current physical condition or simply desperately wanted to kill someone.

After enduring Mordo's blow, it actually transformed the force of the attack into propulsion, slashing down at Wang Yidao with even greater speed.

Doctor Strange had been saved by Wong several times earlier, so upon seeing this situation, he reacted almost instinctively, stepping in front of Wong.

"No!!"

Wang and Mordo shouted this almost simultaneously.

Others might not know, but the two of them did: this was the successor to the next Sorcerer Supreme.

Of all the sorcerers in Kamar-Taj, only the Ancient One and he are capable of controlling the Eye of Agamotto.

Who will stop Dormammu after he dies?

Doctor Strange also felt that he was doomed to die.

At this moment, it's impossible to say whether I regret it or not; sometimes, everything is just instinct.

"It seems like dying like this isn't so bad. At least my life was more exciting than most people's."

Doctor Strange gave up and closed his eyes.

For some reason, Xia Yu and Ancient One were the two people who appeared before me at the end.

These were the two most powerful people he had ever known in his life. If either of them were here, he wouldn't be dead.

At the critical moment, Doctor Strange suddenly felt a tightness in his ankle, and his body was uncontrollably forced backward.

Kaecilius cleaved the target without pursuing it.

He sheathed the blade and looked at Doctor Strange with an envious tone.

"The newcomer is quite lucky; this was my favorite magical artifact back in the day, but unfortunately it didn't choose me."

Doctor Strange then realized that it was a dark red cloak.

The magical artifact actually swung sideways, bypassing the king's body, and grabbed his feet, pulling the two of them out of Kaecilius's attack range.

Although he knew that magical artifacts had the habit of choosing their own masters, Doctor Strange was still very surprised by how spiritual an artifact was.

"Thanks!"

I couldn't help but thank the magic Cloak.

The Cloak stood upright in the air, giving Doctor Strange a slight bow, as if to say, "You don't need to be so polite."

Then it automatically pierced Doctor Strange's neck.

Mordo jumped back to the opposite side of Kaecilius, standing side by side with Doctor Strange and the other two.

Wang then felt a wave of fear wash over him, realizing he was soaked in sweat and covered in cold sweat.

The Sanctum had been destroyed, and Kaecilius's men had returned, subtly surrounding the three men.

Kaecilius glanced at the two familiar figures before him, and at the newcomer who had gained the Cloak's approval.

He sighed and said...

"I will give you one last chance. Swear allegiance to the great Dormammu, and I will spare your lives."

"Impossible! Do you even know what you're doing? If you abandon the power of Dark Magic within you, Kaecilius, I swear on my life, I will help you return to Kamar-Taj, and you will still be the mages of Kamar-Taj."

Mordo said with a serious expression.

"Ha ha!!"

Kaecilius suddenly burst into maniacal laughter.

"Abandon Dark Magic? Return to Kamar-Taj? Mordo, why are you still so naive after all this time? You think the Ancient One could live for thousands of years without dying? Hahaha, ridiculous! She is the one who understands Dark Magic the most in this world."

"Impossible!!"

Wang and Mordo said in unison.

But then, Doctor Strange was standing with them, stepped forward.

"You mean, that the missing content on those two pages is a sacrifice of darkness to gain a long life, right?"

Kaecilius's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Doctor Strange with a serious expression.

"You saw what was written there too? You used the Eye of Agamotto?"
