Chapter 47

Baron Mordo, however, had always been addicted to exorcising demons. He was highly skilled in magic and had learned quite a few mystic arts from the Ancient One.

And the spell he was using now was the very one Doctor Strange had cast while fighting Thanos in the movie.

In the blink of an eye.

Su Chen felt his physical strength drain away, along with some of his once boundless vitality and spirit.

He repeatedly tried to muster his strength, only to find that struggling made his body even more exhausted. The ropes binding him also shone ever more brightly.

The strange magic ropes before him did have their merits.

Even his own abilities seemed to have been sealed.

"Now you know how powerful it is, don't you?"

Hundreds of Baron Mordo's duplicates hovered in the air, their identical, cold faces tinged with mockery as they looked down at the boy on the ground.

Their lofty posture was full of ridicule.

Su Chen watched them, the chill in his eyes growing colder.

More than anything in his life, he hated people looking down on him!

[Magic Resistance +100]

[Magic Absorption +200]

His undying, indestructible body instantly began to evolve under the external stimulus.

Magic!

Su Chen really had never encountered it before.

But now, just like in an online game, his body, which had started from zero, began putting points into the Magic Resistance stat.

At that moment.

"Are you putting on a magic show for me?"

Looking at the hundreds of Mordos hovering in the air, Su Chen sneered.

Crack!!

He flexed his full strength, and dozens of magic ropes snapped apart in an instant.

"Huh..."

Baron Mordo's expression changed slightly. He wondered how his opponent could muster any strength under the effects of this mystic art.

Something's wrong!!

The next second, his expression grew even uglier as he realized his magic power was beginning to drain away.

Puff!!

Without magic power to sustain them, the conjured duplicates fell apart completely. At that moment, Baron Mordo felt the magic power inside him pouring out as if a floodgate had opened, surging along the magic ropes into the boy's body.

"Damn it, what kind of dark magic is this?"

Baron Mordo's face twisted with anger.

Who could have thought that a method meant to bind his opponent would leave him trapped by his own doing?

Magic Absorption!!

After being invaded by magic power, Su Chen's unparalleled physique had not only developed Magic Resistance, but had also gained the trait of Magic Absorption under the stimulation of magical energy.

In other words, besides the newly awakened Mental Energy Absorption, his Energy Manipulation ability could now absorb magical energy as well.

No one could hurt him with the same move or the same ability.

After Su Chen evolved and transformed, the activity of his weakened cells recovered considerably.

At that moment, a red-robed mage had attacked, taking advantage of the moment Su Chen was bound.

Su Chen sneered. His black-and-white eyes glowed red, and in an instant, a brilliant laser beam shot from them and pierced the mage's body.

"Damn it!!"

Baron Mordo could no longer maintain the spell.

His spirit flagging, he felt his magic power running short and immediately dismissed all his duplicates in the air.

The magic ropes vanished.

But the moment Su Chen was freed from his bonds.

Boom!!!

A sonic boom suddenly rang out over the mountains ahead as Su Chen shot toward him like a cannonball.

"Get down here."

He had long been thoroughly annoyed by this red-robed mage hovering high above and looking down on others.

Now, Su Chen flew forward with his right fist raised and smashed through the multiple magic barriers around his opponent's body with a single punch.

Then...

Baron Mordo plummeted from the sky like a meteor and crashed heavily into the ground.

Chapter 47

Being knocked down to the ground from his lofty position in the air was naturally an unpleasant experience for Baron Mordo.

However...

Su Chen also felt utterly disgusted and weary.

He had been on his way to seek revenge, and the entrance to Stryker's secret base was right before him.

Yet, for no apparent reason, he had provoked an unknown magical force that had come to destroy him.

And the reason for all of this was simply that he had settled a grudge for his friend Mindy.

"All I did was completely devour that evil god's power, and you decided to get rid of me as an evil demon."

That was what infuriated Su Chen the most.

Even a clay figurine had some temper!!

For no reason, he had been mistaken for a demon god's vessel, and they wanted nothing more than to destroy him completely and scatter his ashes.

Such groundless accusations were nothing more than fabricated charges.

How could Su Chen, who had already endured so much hardship, tolerate such treatment?

And why should he have to swallow this humiliation?

The trace of gentleness Su Chen had accumulated over the past few days vanished without a trace.

His handsome, sharply chiseled face once again became utterly cold and merciless, just like the boy who had walked out of the nuclear explosion that day.

"Die, all of you."

He spoke coldly.

It was as if death itself had passed judgment, as if the King of Hell had come to claim their lives.

In his darkened state, the resentment and anger Su Chen had suppressed for so long drove a mysterious, unfathomable power into motion.

Hum!!

A terrifying force began to interfere with reality, altering everything around him.

In the blink of an eye.

"Something's wrong..."

"No!!"

The red-robed mages cried out in panic.

They held out their hands and saw their arms steadily disintegrating. Their flesh fell apart completely, turning into powder that scattered through the air.

In a mere instant.

The sanctum mages who had just been flaunting their might and brimming with murderous intent began to wail and howl.

"Now tell me, am I qualified to devour a demon god's power?"

"Was I talking big?"

"So what does a mere descending demon god's will amount to? You thought it was completely impossible, unaware that your existence is as insignificant as ants to me."

Su Chen mocked them coldly.

The mages present who still had a breath left turned utterly ashamed.

"I was wrong..."

"Help me!!"

In their despair, they could not help begging for mercy from the person they had just mocked.

Unfortunately...

Without the slightest fluctuation of magic or any sign of energy, the figures before him disintegrated completely in their panic under the terrifying power that interfered with reality, turning into smoke and dispersing into the air.

Hum!!

The surrounding scenery changed completely, and dreamlike mirrors once again stacked up in every direction.

This time, however, a loud cracking sound rang out as countless fissures spread across the mirrors. The entire Mirror Dimension shattered completely at that moment.

Deprived of its supply of magic power, the Mirror Dimension that had transformed heaven and earth vanished without a trace.

One...

Two...

Ten...

Including the several mages lost earlier, the entire squad Baron Mordo had led here was wiped out.

"You..."

Baron Mordo's expression changed dramatically. He took several deep breaths, continually strengthening his life force in an attempt to resist the power, but the weakening continued to spread through his body.

In the blink of an eye.

His hands also began to disintegrate. Under reality's merciless erasure, he simply could not hold on any longer.

"Damn bastard!!"

At that moment, looking at the cold-faced boy before him, Baron Mordo finally realized he had provoked someone he should not have.

This guy actually managed to devour a wisp of a descending demon god's will?

Recalling how quickly his magic power had drained away earlier, he turned deathly pale, feeling as though he had been subjected to the most merciless mockery.

"Bastard."

He was filled with hatred!!

He had never imagined that this operation to eradicate a demon god's will would be based on a false premise.

And the child they had provoked because of it possessed such terrifying strength.

He was also surrounded by such astonishing killing intent.

Was he really not a demon god reincarnated?

"Unfortunately for you, you killed them. You killed people from Kamar-Taj. Brat, you're the one who provoked someone you shouldn't have..."

Overcome with rage and humiliation, Baron Mordo roared in his dying moments.
