Fierce Battle in the Mirror Dimension

Doctor Strange immediately realized the gap between himself and the Ancient One. Although the Ancient One didn't use much power at all, Doctor Strange couldn't yet easily bring everyone present into the Mirror Dimension.

This is an instinct developed through practice. It's like how he can accurately identify blood vessels, nerves, and so on as soon as he picks up a scalpel. Sometimes, even if he can't see it with his eyes, his hands and consciousness have already helped him make a judgment.

That's experience.

Ancient One raised her hand, and Kaecilius instinctively dodged.

"Fight here, don't let the innocent people get involved."

As Ancient One spoke, she sensed the space around her.

Sensing an intrusive force in the space, as if someone was monitoring the area, Ancient One immediately felt relieved, knowing that Xia Yu was already paying attention to this place.

Today, Kaecilius made the Ancient One a little uneasy.

She originally planned to have Kaecilius die at his hands, which would not only stimulate Doctor Strange's potential but also leave some of her power for him.

However, Kaecilius is now stronger than imagined. If Xia Yu doesn't come, Ancient One isn't confident. She's afraid that Doctor Strange might be accidentally killed by Kaecilius.

With a meaningful glance into the void, the Ancient One didn't bother to say anything and immediately engaged Kaecilius in battle.

She knew Xia Yu understood what she meant: Xia Yu shouldn't act before she made her request.

Little did she know that Xia Yu's thoughts had completely changed after his heart-to-heart talk with the Captain.

Kaecilius possessed immense strength and a terrifying physique.

The Ancient One, on the other hand, possessed extraordinary combat experience and an understanding of magic.

The two fought to a standstill.

Doctor Strange and Mordo, however, were not so lucky.

Of the five people Kaecilius brought, two caught up with Mordo, and three confronted Doctor Strange.

Fortunately, both of them possessed magical artifacts that allowed them to dodge attacks, which enabled them to initially engage in various skirmishes against an enemy who outnumbered them significantly.

Mordo's boots can provide leverage in mid-air, while Doctor Strange's Cloak can automatically evade danger and allow him to fly at high altitudes.

So the two of them were like two slippery eels, constantly dodging and expanding the battlefield while being surrounded by five people.

He watched as an energy disc and an energy whip hurtled toward him.

As Doctor Strange retreated rapidly in mid-air, he waved his hand and altered the Sanctum's material structure, creating a direct connection to the outside.

The spatial structure in the Mirror Dimension is much more fragile than in reality; a normal mage can easily fold space and even alter gravity.

Not to mention, this place is practically home to the most powerful group of mages on Earth.

As Doctor Strange and Mordo continued to dodge and widen the battlefield.

These so-called mages, who had virtually no ranged attack capabilities, began to fold space and alter gravity to interrupt the two's evasion.

For example, the building opposite Sanctum Street has had its original walls replaced by the ground level, thus altering the gravity in the area.

After Doctor Strange fought and dodged backward, one of Kaecilius's men began to fold the top floors of the building at a 90-degree angle.

This means that the people fighting on top of it are now operating under a completely different direction of gravity.

The situation is similar on Mordo's side.

Knowing they were no match for five sorcerers, they bought time so that the Ancient One could kill Kaecilius and then come to their aid.

As they fought and retreated, the battlefield expanded.

The terrain of the battlefield is becoming increasingly complex.

Many suspended building walls even appeared in the sky, some below and some above.

You can often see Doctor Strange running ahead, flying and suddenly plunging headfirst down, quickly turning around and continuing to run, and then suddenly turning ninety degrees and running and flying in the air again.

As Mordo and Doctor Strange deliberately stalled, the entire space became increasingly chaotic.

Since both of them possess magical artifacts that allow them to borrow strength or fly, things are relatively easy. However, Kaecilius's subordinates are in a much worse situation, often falling down themselves while chasing after someone.

Fortunately, they were all tough and resilient due to the transformation by dark forces; otherwise, they would have chased after people and ended up falling to their deaths.

Ancient One and Kaecilius also fought their way out through the portal they had opened; both of them were adept at spatial magic.

When these two started fighting, the scene became even more chaotic.

With a simple gesture, an entire street is folded up, gravity is disrupted, and so on.

This made Xia Yu was secretly watching from the sidelines, click his Delia in disbelief.

If it weren't for his strong mental fortitude, Xia Yu would probably be dizzy from watching.

Otherwise, there's a saying from a past life, "The Ancient One died because of special effects budget."

It seemed incredibly confusing when I watched the movie, but now that it's happening to me, I realize it's nothing compared to what happened in the movie.

Half of New York City is warped now, okay?

Throughout Kamar-Taj, besides Mordo, the Ancient One was the one with the deepest understanding of physical combat.

Throughout her long life, she studied countless ancient martial arts and various techniques for generating and deflecting force.

Often, the Ancient One effortlessly deflected Kaecilius's most powerful attacks.

This enraged Kaecilius. Besides sacrificing the world to Dormammu, Kaecilius's greatest obsession was to one day defeat the Ancient One in a direct confrontation.

This was the master he saw as hypocritical and deceitful.

This opportunity had finally come, but from the very beginning, Ancient One had never confronted or resisted it directly.

All of them are instant and disposable.

Even if they couldn't dodge it, they used the force of Kaecilius's attack as propulsion to run directly into the distance.

Under the Ancient One's deliberate guidance, their battlefield drew ever closer to Doctor Strange's.

After repeatedly failing in his attempts to confront the Ancient One head-on, Kaecilius wisely turned his attention to Doctor Strange, who was evading his men's pursuit not far away.

Kaecilius began consciously moving towards Doctor Strange, and with the Ancient One's deliberate cooperation, the two drew closer and closer.

Finally, Doctor Strange appeared above their heads.

It was a large bridge, which had been folded countless times and was now lying upside down over their heads.

Doctor Strange was flying rapidly across the bridge, pursued by several of Kaecilius's henchmen at a great distance behind him.

Kaecilius seized the opportunity and, with a seemingly imposing but actually light and effortless strike, slashed at the Ancient One.

As expected, the Ancient One conjured an energy shield and brought it towards him with both hands, but her lower body was positioned with her feet forward, preparing to use the force to escape.

Kaecilius grinned triumphantly.

As soon as the two exchanged blows, Ancient One's face showed a surprised expression.

"Haha, if you won't fight me, I'll kill your disciple. That's the one you're most satisfied with since me, isn't it?"

Kaecilius shouted frantically.

The Ancient One didn't feel any force from the Kaecilius Blade in her hands, but her feet had already pushed off the ground with inertia, and she quickly retreated backward.

Kaecilius didn't use any strength at all, so he didn't need to catch his breath and simply swung his hand upwards with force.

Doctor Strange, who was flying close to the ground, was suddenly subjected to a gravity flip and fell downwards.

He was met with the energy blade in Kaecilius's hand.
