Chapter 1127: Sudden
Chapter 1127: Sudden
Ding Ding~
After the appearance of the golden Magical Portal, Kaecilius, who had been missing for several days, walked out first, followed by several Zealots.
As it turned out, one of the Sorcerer within the London Sanctum had long been swayed by Kaecilius. Although he hadn’t fully embraced the darkness or obtained power from Dormammu, he had already aligned himself with them.
Precisely because he hadn’t obtained power from Dormammu, he hadn’t been discovered. Otherwise, this operation wouldn’t have succeeded.
Stepping out of the golden circle of light, Kaecilius cast a cold glance at the two injured Sanctum defenders lying in the corner. His face remained expressionless, revealing no emotions.
“You did well, Hansen. But why are they still alive?”
Although the two defenders lying in the corner had weak breaths and obvious injuries, their vital signs were stable— there was no immediate danger to their lives. However, since Hansen had already chosen to betray Sorcerers, his actions were undoubtedly displeasing to Kaecilius.
“They are my…”
*Exhale~*
As Hansen was about to explain, Kaecilius slightly turned his head and gave a signal to one of his subordinates beside him. Then, the subordinate swiftly walked towards the corner.
Pū Pū!
Amid Hansen’s slightly reluctant gaze, one of the Zealots summoned a translucent dagger with magic and plunged it into the chests of the two Sanctum defenders. Their lives were ended instantly.
“If there’s a next time… you know the outcome.” Seeing Hansen avert his gaze from the gruesome scene, Kaecilius’s voice turned icy.
“I understand, sir.” Upon hearing Kaecilius’s words, the look on Hansen’s face changed, and he quickly lowered his head in response.
Hansen had already betrayed Sorcerers. If he angered Kaecilius now, he would truly have no place in this world.
With the two Sanctum defenders dealt with, Kaecilius strolled through the London Sanctum like a master, occasionally glancing at the magical artifacts placed around.
After touring the main hall, Kaecilius finally halted his steps by the floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor. The glass of the window was frosted, making it impossible to clearly see the outside. In the center of the window was a symbol representing Sorcerers.
“The protective array is intact, right?” Standing with his back to the few people behind him, Kaecilius gazed at the symbol and suddenly spoke.
“No problem. Since the day you attacked the New York Sanctum, the protective array has been strengthened significantly. When I let you in this time, it didn’t trigger the protective array. As long as we don’t set it off, people outside won’t know that we’ve taken control here.” Upon hearing Kaecilius’s inquiry, Hansen, who had been following him closely, answered promptly.
“How often do you contact the other Sanctums and the Himalayan side?” Without expressing anything about Hansen’s response, Kaecilius continued to inquire.
“Every four hours. I contacted them just before I took action. So, if there’s any plan, sir, we have plenty of safe time.” In a blink of an eye, Hansen quickly answered.
“Every four hours?… Then… let’s begin!”
*Humming~*
Then, behind Kaecilius, three Magical Portals materialized. Subsequently, Zealots began to emerge from within them one after another.
A few hours later, the Sorcerer community was struck by a shocking event. Within a brief half-hour span, the London Sanctum, the Hong Kong Sanctum, and the New York Sanctum were all attacked by Zealots.
This attack was different from the previous assault on the New York Sanctum; this time, the attack originated from within.
The London Sanctum was the first to fall. All of the defending Sorcerers inside were wiped out. In the Hong Kong Sanctum, one defender sorcerer sacrificed their life, while two managed to escape despite severe injuries.
As for the New York Sanctum, both Derreck and Rick, the defending sorcerers, were critically wounded. If there hadn’t been other sorcerers present at the New York Sanctum, they might have perished as well. Nevertheless, in the end, the New York Sanctum fell to the traitors’ attack.
…
After Kaecilius launched and conquered three major Sanctums in rapid succession within an extremely short time, the Sorcerer community was left in shock and extreme anger. In just a moment, they lost three exceptional sorcerers, and several more were severely injured.
Under Wong’s leadership, a powerful team of sorcerers initiated an attack on the three major Sanctums. However, Ancient One refrained from taking action; instead, he personally healed the injured defender sorcerers.
However, when Wong led a substantial force of sorcerers to breach the Sanctums, Kaecilius, and the other traitors had already disappeared. After disrupting the magical arrays of the three major Sanctums, they swiftly retreated, denying the Sorcerer community any chance of a counterattack.
Ancient One didn’t seem surprised by this turn of events. While Wong and the others worked to restore the magical arrays within the Sanctums, Ancient One prepared for an all-out confrontation.
Kaecilius, who had broken the magical arrays of the three major Sanctums, would undoubtedly be summoning Dormammu soon, initiating a challenging battle ahead.
In the Himalayas, the secluded sanctuary of Sorcerers, Ancient One stood in the courtyard of his residence, gazing up at the starry sky. As the “Roof of the World,” the Himalayas were already the closest place on Earth to the stars.
The sky was clear at the moment, the sun having just set, and stars were beginning to twinkle in the night sky.
“As long as I remain here, I won’t experience the things I’ve seen. However, how can I truly stay here? This world still requires my protection. Even if it costs me my life.” Fixing his gaze on the distant stars, Ancient One murmured softly to himself.
*Humming~*
Having stood in the courtyard for a while longer, as night fell completely, a Magical Portal appeared before Ancient One. Silently, he stepped forward and entered, vanishing into the pristine courtyard.
The magical arrays within the three major Sanctums had been shattered. After Kaecilius summoned Dormammu, he would certainly take action again to attack the other sorcerer’s community and weaken their strength. However, this time, Ancient One wouldn’t be passive.
Meanwhile, after Kaecilius led the Zealots to disrupt the magical arrays of the three major Sanctums, in the vast cosmic expanse far beyond Earth, amidst the pitch-black void, small yet pure darkness emerged in this space as if forcibly infiltrating from another realm.
