Lin Du's magic circle filled Kaecilius with fear.
It was the first time he had seen such a move.
In his impression, ordinary people could not use such a powerful magic circle.
The Rings of Raggadorr were the most commonly used magic circle among sorcerers.
However, achieving a breakthrough with them truly required exceptional talent.
And yet, facing so many high-ranking sorcerers,
Lin Du showed no sign of defeat.
This left Kaecilius's subordinates at a loss as well.
Kaecilius had once been a sorcerer of Kamar-Taj.
He too had used magic circles that only sorcerers above his rank could wield.
He had also searched the sorcerers' library for the secret to increasing his power.
The reason he had come to raid the library this time was because he had found that secret.
It was the dark magic hidden within the library of magical books.
Kaecilius glared angrily at the obstacle before him, Lin Du.
He had not expected someone to stand in his way.
As someone who had once been regarded as a genius of Kamar-Taj,
being blocked like this was an utter humiliation.
Besides, even the master of Kamar-Taj, Ancient One,
would have been greatly surprised and cautious,
perhaps even wary,
upon seeing such a formation.
Yet a rookie sorcerer dared stand before him like this.
And he was even using his own Rings of Raggadorr.
One person had blocked the attacks of three.
At this moment, Kaecilius felt as though he had been deeply insulted.
He had evaded Ancient One, only to suffer a setback before a newcomer like Lin Du.
Thinking of his status as a sorcerous genius, rage gradually drowned his reason.
The Lin Du before him became someone he had to eliminate.
Kaecilius seemed possessed at that moment.
Lin Du had enraged him, and Lin Du's calm expression only made him even angrier.
He could not tolerate a rookie remaining so composed before him.
Moreover, he had brought along his two most powerful disciples.
They were also prodigies in the sorcerous world.
They surpassed many sorcerers.
Even among Ancient One's many disciples, few could match them.
In particular, his subordinates possessed some aptitude for dark magic.
Even in the Dark Dimension, few could withstand these disciples of his.
Yet now, Lin Du had blocked them with a single move.
Kaecilius could hardly believe his eyes.
But his fury also drove him even further into madness.
When Kaecilius thought of how the dark magic he had long desired lay behind Lin Du,
he lost all reason.
Dark magic could grant him supreme power, along with the position of ruler of the Dark Dimension.
He would become a being like a sovereign of this world.
As an obstacle, Lin Du had no reason to remain alive in Kaecilius's eyes.
Kaecilius stared coldly at Lin Du.
Eager to obtain dark magic, Kaecilius turned his attention toward Lin Du.
It was as if Lin Du had become the obstacle preventing him from obtaining dark magic.
Kaecilius also realized
that if he did not remove an opponent like Lin Du now, Lin Du might ruin his plans even more in the future.
Kaecilius had also heard that Ancient One thought highly of Lin Du.
If Ancient One led all the sorcerers, along with Lin Du, against him,
his plan might come to nothing.
His status in the Dark Dimension would also be affected.
The evil gods of the Dark Dimension might even punish him.
Not only would he fail to obtain the power of dark magic, he would also be hunted by the monsters of the Dark Dimension.
Fear inevitably rose in Kaecilius's heart.
Thinking of Lin Du's performance just now made Kaecilius realize even more how dangerous he was.
Just then, Kaecilius noticed that Lin Du's Rings of Raggadorr still seemed to be giving off magical fluctuations.
There was even an aura of dark magic continuously seeping out.
Kaecilius's two subordinates also began to wonder.
Why did Lin Du's Rings of Raggadorr contain the aura of dark magic?
And it even seemed somewhat familiar.
Just then, the Rings of Raggadorr Lin Du had unleashed suddenly began to shake.
Before Kaecilius and his two subordinates could react,
several Dark Blades shot out from the Rings of Raggadorr.
Kaecilius had never imagined that the Rings of Raggadorr could be used this way.
He had stayed at Kamar-Taj for so long,
yet he had no recollection of the Rings of Raggadorr being able to release Dark Blades.
Kaecilius carefully observed those Dark Blades.
They were precisely the Dark Blades they had used to attack Lin Du.
The aura of dark magic emanating from these Dark Blades truly shocked Kaecilius.
The dark power within these Dark Blades had not weakened in the slightest.
Instead, it had been strengthened within Lin Du's Rings of Raggadorr.
Their destructive power had become even greater.
"When did the Rings of Raggadorr gain the ability to counterattack?
Wasn't this magic circle only ever capable of blocking outside attacks?
Could Lin Du's Rings of Raggadorr even absorb dark magic?
How did he do it?"
These Dark Blades seemed to have gained tracking abilities as well.
The Dark Blades rained down upon Kaecilius and his subordinates.
Every single one struck them.
Some even hit vital areas.
Kaecilius began to panic as well.
He had never expected Lin Du to have already learned how to use Dark Blades.
These Dark Blades were all condensed from dark power.
Without the power of the Dark Dimension, it was difficult to achieve such destructive force.
Moreover, it was only after Kaecilius had obtained the power of a contract with the Dark Dimension
that he could unleash Dark Blades with such power.
Kaecilius truly could not understand how Lin Du had managed to use such dark magic.
Combined with Lin Du's performance just now,
Kaecilius grew increasingly curious about Lin Du's secret.
Unable to restrain his curiosity, Kaecilius shouted:
"Who exactly are you?
How did you do it!
What exactly have you done?"
Kaecilius screamed hysterically.
He simply could not accept that there was magic superior to his own.
Not even Ancient One could be allowed to surpass him.
Kaecilius had always believed that his sorcerous power had already surpassed Ancient One's abilities.
If he obtained the power of dark magic, no one in this magical world would be his match.
Yet Lin Du had appeared at precisely this moment.
And he stood right before him.
Right before his eyes, Lin Du was using his magic.
Dark Blades.
Kaecilius realized that Lin Du would be an extremely troublesome opponent.
He looked at the Rings of Raggadorr in Lin Du's hand and sensed Lin Du's arcane magical energy.
At this moment, Lin Du not only possessed the magic of Ancient One and Wong,
he had also fused it with Kaecilius's magic.
After Lin Du devoured Kaecilius's Dark Blades, he used his own power of fusion
to merge the two magical energies, producing this hybrid magic.
