Black Mage

Night.

When the radiance faded, all that remained was endless void.

The peaceful white light around Kino was gone, replaced by black aura thick with an ominous presence. Even his entire body had turned black, forming a stark contrast with the white light from before.

He looked somewhat like a Shadow Priest from Warcraft.

[Black Mage Form]

It originated from Zeref, the Black Mage of Fairy Tail. Of course, Kino was stronger than him, his black magic deeper, more powerful, and even stranger and harder to guard against.

This form had been born on Marvel Earth. More precisely, after he defeated Dormammu.

Back then, instead of transforming into a giant dragon, he had entered the Dark Dimension alone and absorbed a great deal of dark energy. On top of that, he had seized much of Dormammu's power. After the two fused together, they brought about a new transformation—[Black Mage].

His eyes were red.

The whites of his eyes were pitch-black, while his pupils were crimson, somewhat resembling Carrot's Moon Lion form.

An incredibly heavy pressure descended. Even Thanos, the strongest among them, sensed that something was wrong.

Aomei and the others clutched their chests and gasped for air. The pressure over Xiling was unimaginably immense, as though the air itself were being sucked away.

Every hero proficient in magic felt it.

Kino turned and glanced at his allies before calmly uttering two words. "Get down."

"?"

After saying that, he wasted no more words. Having turned black, his temperament had also become far colder, somewhat like Tang San.

A surging wave of dark energy suddenly shot outward in every direction.

"Not good!"

"Danger—"

A terrifying sense of death pressed down on everyone's hearts. In that instant, they thought they were dead.

Captain America promptly threw himself over Carter.
