The Power of Fusing with the Time Stone

Kaecilius looked at Lin Du, who was blocking his path.

He felt extremely anxious.

He had not expected this novice sorcerer before him to be able to hold him off to such an extent.

Kaecilius was so anxious partly because the Sorcerers' Library contained magic he needed.

The other reason was the Time Stone.

As a sorcerer of dark magic, Kaecilius needed the Time Stone to increase his magical energy.

Lin Du, on the other hand, possessed innate magical resistance.

Even without the Time Stone's enhancement, it could still improve.

The magical abilities fused into Lin Du's body gave him extremely high magical resistance.

This skill could not only reduce the damage inflicted by offensive spells, but also made status effects from spells unlikely to take hold and allowed him to recover faster.

Even if he suffered the full-force attacks of Kaecilius and his three men, he would recover quickly.

But now, Lin Du not only possessed the fused magic of several masters.

He had also fused with the Time Stone.

His magical resistance was terrifying, and with Lin Du's Magic Reflection added to the mix,

Kaecilius's attacks were almost completely negated.

Even the magical energy that splashed onto Lin Du could not harm him in the slightest.

But Kaecilius and his men were not so fortunate.

The Dark Blade Kaecilius released inflicted severe burns on his subordinates.

Not only that, one of his men had been captured during the battle by Ancient One and Wong's disciples.

However, Kaecilius's other subordinate was even less fortunate.

Kaecilius had not expected the Dark Blade reflected by Lin Du to turn its target into a lump of charred flesh.

It had even struck directly, without the slightest deviation.

Kaecilius lowered his head and looked at his body.

A searing pain surged through him.

The Dark Blade he had projected at Lin Du earlier had been returned to Kaecilius several times over.

And even Kaecilius himself had not reacted in time.

Still, Kaecilius had learned magical resistance skills like this since childhood.

He also knew how great an impact certain things could have if someone did not possess such resistance skills.

Yet Kaecilius had never been taught this.

Ancient One had not taught him either.

But it was also because Kaecilius was so headstrong.

He had long looked down somewhat on the pacifist Ancient One.

He felt that Ancient One was far too weak.

Moreover, Kaecilius was a genius with immense magical talent.

After he quickly mastered all of Ancient One's spells,

and then defeated Wong with the dark magic he had learned,

he began to consider leaving Ancient One as his teacher, even discarding her altogether.

Because he believed he was already powerful enough.

If he obtained the secret treasure of dark magic and the Time Stone, he would completely surpass Ancient One.

He would become the sole wielder of powerful magic in this world.

But now, Kaecilius had miscalculated.

He had never expected to encounter an existence as monstrous as Lin Du.

After defeating Wong, Lin Du was the only person Kaecilius had ever failed to defeat.

And Lin Du had not suffered any injuries at all.

This was completely beyond Kaecilius's imagination.

Even against Ancient One, Kaecilius had the ability to fight.

If he obtained the power of dark magic, Lin Du would completely defeat Ancient One.

There would be no suspense at all.

But now,

looking at the subordinates injured by Lin Du's reflection, as well as his own horrifying body,

Kaecilius was beginning to question his entire life.

Kaecilius had once thought the only thing he could not endure was Ancient One's dark magic.

But now it seemed that Lin Du's magical resistance was what he truly could not bear.

Such a condescending sense of mockery had driven Lin Du completely mad.

Lin Du looked calmly at Kaecilius before him.

He thought, I am strangely not tired at all.

I do not feel like resting even a little.

But the situation seems to be getting tense.

I did not expect his subordinates to be so fragile.

I only fused and amplified the energies of dark magic and the Time Stone.

Yet they suffered such an overwhelming backlash from that power.

Kaecilius regarded the current situation as an emergency, because many things would happen after his subordinates died...

Ever since Kaecilius's subordinates died,

their corpses had remained there.

But in Kaecilius's magical philosophy,

surviving at all costs was what mattered most to him.

He would even sacrifice his own soul.

He had once used dark magic on the corpses he collected,

turning them into zombie warriors, puppets to attack his enemies.

And just then, Kaecilius's subordinates seemed to move.

Wong stared at the corpses in shock as a terrifying thought surfaced in his mind.

Could Kaecilius have used that spell?

How could Kaecilius use such a heinous spell?

Just as Wong realized what Kaecilius had done,

Kaecilius's subordinates transformed into ghouls.

They rose to their feet and charged at Lin Du.

After Kaecilius left Ancient One, he had been doing everything he could to seek revenge.

As a result, he came into contact with dark magic.

He created ghouls to work for him.

But when he first used this magic, his original goal was to learn certain skills before going to the Dark Dimension.

He worked very hard.

After defeating a demon from the Dark Dimension, however, his soul was eroded by dark magic.

After Kaecilius sensed the dark magic within his body,

he experienced the power of darkness.

The lord of the Dark Dimension also began to tempt Kaecilius.

It told Kaecilius that Ancient One was so powerful because of the power of dark magic as well.

Moreover, the Time Stone possessed by Ancient One also contained the power of dark magic.

After learning this, a dark plan formed in Kaecilius's heart.

He would plunder everything in the Sorcerers' Library.

At any cost, he would find the secret treasure of dark magic and the Time Stone.

Looking at the ever-silent Lin Du, Kaecilius did not receive the answer he wanted.

But having been blocked at the entrance to the Sorcerers' Library all this time, he could no longer endure such delay.

If Ancient One arrived with all the sorcerers of the Sorcerers' Guild,

his plan would come to nothing.

But Lin Du, standing before Kaecilius, was like an immovable mountain.

Lin Du's magic array had become a source of deep hatred for Kaecilius.

He had no choice but to consider completely destroying the Sorcerers' Library.

Only then could he better locate the Time Stone.

Kaecilius's anxious appearance also allowed Lin Du to see through him.

However, Lin Du had already obtained the Time Stone.

Still, Lin Du had only used the magical energy within the Time Stone.

He had not truly activated time magic.

Lin Du knew that if he invoked the power of the Time Stone,

the ghouls before him and Kaecilius would be reduced to ashes.

Just as Lin Du prepared to use time magic,

at that moment,

Wong and Mordo arrived, and the two stopped him from using the Time Stone.
