Coincidence

Was this a coincidence, or had it been planned and premeditated? Or was it aimed specifically at him?

Chen Xu was deeply puzzled. To be safe, he took out God's Hand and put it on. He stirred the Chaos within his body, and only when the feeling of holding all things in his palm filled his hand did he gain a sliver of security. That was also why Chen Xu had dared to come complete the system sign-in mission despite knowing how dangerous the Dark Dimension was. He just did not know how powerful the Chaos Magic in his body was now, how it compared to the Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One, or whether he had the strength to fight Dormammu, ruler of the Dark Dimension.

Although Chen Xu desperately wanted to know, he did not dare test it. He did not even entertain the thought. As a transmigrator, he knew full well how terrifying the Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One and Dormammu, ruler of the Dark Dimension, were. If they discovered the secret on him, would they not kill him with a single basic attack? He had finally come to this world, only to die again. That would be fucking miserable. He might even become a joke among transmigrators. That would be truly miserable.

The moment Chen Xu thought of this, fear rose uncontrollably in his heart.

"Forget it. Stop overthinking it. My luck should not be that bad. Even if I run into them, I do not know them, much less have any grudge against them."

Chen Xu did not dwell on it any longer and immediately joined Dina and the others in battle.

All kinds of magic flew through the Dark Dimension—fireballs one moment, ice lances the next—as everyone fought with blazing intensity.

Suddenly, Chen Xu sensed an even more powerful dark magical beast charging toward them. It was a wolf, far larger than a human, and it radiated a powerful magical aura that even surpassed the magic of those Temple Mages.

Chen Xu could handle it, but Dina and the others could not.

At that moment, they also sensed that something was wrong. The Dark Hounds were fleeing in every direction as though they had seen something terrifying.

"Chen Xu, did you find something?"

Tina turned to ask Chen Xu while continuing to fight.

Chen Xu said, "Nothing much. Just a wolf as big as a house, and it is giving off a fairly strong magical aura."

Everyone was shocked. "What? Could it be a Blackflame Demon Wolf?"

"It definitely is. It has the aura of fire magic."

"This is already beyond the difficulty of our assessment. We need to retreat immediately."

The apprentices who had come for the assessment all began talking about retreating.

The combat power of a Blackflame Demon Wolf was not something those Dark Hounds could compare to. Even fifty Dark Hounds could not defeat a single Blackflame Demon Wolf.

Just as everyone was about to retreat, the Blackflame Demon Wolf appeared before them.

The Temple Mage overseeing the assessment outside the Dark Dimension also noticed the abnormality within the assessment space. As the Blackflame Demon Wolf charged toward them, the assessing Temple Mage received the signal and immediately activated the teleportation array. The people inside the Dark Dimension did not linger either, immediately running toward it. But the wolf was far too fast and was about to catch up with them.

Chen Xu spoke up.

"You go first. I'll hold it off." At the critical moment, Chen Xu was still the reliable one.

However, Dina was unwilling to accept that.

"No, Chen Xu. I know your spiritual power is strong, but it is still not enough to deal with that wolf."

Clearly, Dina had underestimated Chen Xu's strength. She only knew that he possessed powerful spiritual power, not that he was proficient in all kinds of Elemental Magic, nor that he possessed Chaos Magic, which he had never revealed.

It might have been impossible for them, but for Chen Xu, it was no problem at all.

"I'll help you!"

"No need. I can handle it alone."

"But..."

"No more buts. If you do not leave now, it will be too late. Then none of us will get out."

Chen Xu was getting a little impatient. Sure enough, it proved that old saying: women only slowed down the speed at which you drew your sword.

Troublesome.

Seeing Chen Xu's firm attitude and the urgency of the situation, Dina stopped hesitating.

"Fine, we'll retreat first. Be careful."

"Mm, alright."

Then Tina and the others retreated toward the teleportation array while Chen Xu fought the wolf and withdrew in the same direction.

In an instant, the wolf swiped a claw at him, carrying an incomparably sharp aura and powerful fire magic. Chen Xu immediately created an ice wall to block it, then counterattacked at once. He unleashed Lightning Magic, which condensed into something like a purple python and struck out. It was so fast that it lashed directly against the wolf's body. The wolf immediately cried out in pain and let out a furious roar. Clearly, Chen Xu had enraged it. More terrifying fire magic came crashing toward him, but it was useless, all of it blocked by the Ice Shield Chen Xu created. The wolf was clearly intelligent and instantly understood Chen Xu's strength, but it showed neither retreat nor fear as it pounced at him.

It wanted to kill Chen Xu.

Yet no matter how it attacked, it could not harm Chen Xu in the slightest. Chen Xu had grown tired of playing around. Seeing that the wolf had no particularly impressive methods, he wanted to use Chaos Magic to kill it instantly. But he ultimately gave up. He wanted to keep Chaos Magic as his trump card and avoid being discovered by Ancient One. Besides, he did not know how he would explain the origins of Chaos Magic. That would be awkward.

Chen Xu decided to use fire magic to instantly kill the Blackflame Demon Wolf.

"You have been hitting me with fire for so long. Now it's my turn."

Chen Xu gathered a massive blue fireball in the hand wearing God's Hand. He continuously compressed it, and the original blue gradually turned purple. It shrank countless times in size, yet the power it radiated became even greater.

Chen Xu hurled it directly at the wolf. The wolf also sensed the immense magic contained within it and immediately dodged.

But could it escape? The fireball exploded, warping even the surrounding space. The wolf was engulfed by the flames and instantly burned to ashes by the searing heat.

Chen Xu did not stay any longer and also ran toward the teleportation array. He was afraid Dormammu might appear. That would truly be the end of him; one careless mistake, and he would be finished here.

He still did not want to die, so he ran toward the teleportation array without looking back.

At that moment, Dina and the others had already reached the teleportation array. Seeing the assessment mage who had been waiting there, they hurriedly sent out a plea for help, asking him to save Chen Xu.

"Teacher, Chen Xu is still inside. He stayed behind for us and is holding off that Blackflame Demon Wolf alone. Hurry and save him."

The assessment mage was also shocked.

"What? A Blackflame Demon Wolf? That should not be possible. How could it appear there?"

The assessment mage did not hesitate and went to save him. Just as he was about to enter, he saw Chen Xu running toward them after killing the wolf.

"Are you alright, Chen Xu? Where is that wolf?"

Chen Xu answered, "Dead."

"Dead? Who killed it?"

"I did."

"What? You did?"

Dina and the others immediately gathered around him.
