"Vmmm!"
Freezing magic swept through the void, instantly freezing the monster into an ice sculpture.
"Well? Did you kill it?" America asked.
"No. We need the Book of the Vishanti to kill it for good!"
Strange's expression was grave. Although they had reached the space where the Book of the Vishanti was kept, they were still a long way from the book.
After running for a while, the two finally caught sight of the Book of the Vishanti.

Strange's expression was pained. The wound on his thigh had already been corroded by demonic power.
"Crack!"
Just then, the stone sphere's surface split
