23. Alliance before the war
Stephen Strange's trip to Europe was not very smooth. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test
He did not come to Romania for travel. As the seventh person in the battle for the Supreme Mage, his magic training has entered the second stage, and his mentor gave him a powerful crystal wand.
The Watum magic wand, or the Watum scepter, is the beloved thing of the former supreme wizard, Lord Vatum, and has various magical powers.
This thing will be an important weapon for him to participate in the future battle.
But it's only half.
It is said that the other half of this strange thing was stolen by a dark wizard.
Strange had to rely on himself to regain the other half of Vatum's scepter from the black wizard, which was his mission to prove his ability.
But the Wild Master seriously doubted the authenticity of this mission.
Although he was just the first to enter the magic world and had only a little understanding of many things, during the time he was studying in the Mysterious House, he also understood some of the rules of the magic world.
Since it is the property of the former Supreme Master, the Watum Scepter must have been kept in the Kamataj Holy Land, or among the three most holy places around the world.
Any dark wizard can steal half of a strange thing from that place?
This is simply a fantasy!
Even Strange had a higher IQ than his feet, and he would not believe this story.
And I am very suspicious that the so-called "accidental theft" of this so-called strange thing is probably arranged in advance, and maybe Merlin threw his other half of his wand to a lucky black wizard.
Then he sent his poor disciples to "retrieve" the wand.
With Strange's current understanding of the Lord of Hell, his unpredictable mentor, this slightly absurd guess is very likely to be true.
But it's useless to figure it out.
The black wizard who got the wand would definitely not be able to hand over the treasure in his hand so easily. Strange had to go through a battle to catch the strange thing.
This is a trial, either a brave fight or a death.
On the second day after Strange stepped into the city of Bucharest, he was caught in this expected ambush on his way to visit a wizard bar along with the information he had found.
He had already prepared, so he didn't struggle to deal with it.
"Swish"
The wild mage flew quickly over the ambush area against the wall of the gloomy path.
Magical spells hit the wall behind him, like a buried bomb being detonated, with light and shadow intertwined, explosions echoed, and a sound similar to the explosion of liquids.
In just a blink of an eye, this alley with a historical atmosphere was destroyed so much that it was not desirable.
"Swoosh"
Strange flexibly avoided the magical shooting in the magical version of "Bullet Rain". While approaching the hiding place of the dark wizards, he waved his hand to throw out a few bundles of things to the ground.
The wand in his hand was raised the next moment, and before the gadgets landed, a flash of fire shot out from the top of the crystal wand.
The Scared Fire Curse!
The burning flames rushed towards the darkness in front of him like a snake, forcing the hiding black wizards out, but Strange did not lock in the enemy, but turned the wand back.
The burning flames covered the ground behind him, and the things that were thrown on the ground were burned by the flames, as if they were igniting the leads.
The next second, a dazzling light burst out in the dark alley, like a sun suddenly lit up in the dark night.
"boom"
A terrifying explosion rang out in the dark alley.
Those aliens and wizards who were unable to dodge were involved and several violent ghouls hiding in the dark were killed on the spot.
Seeing that the entire alley had been blown up by one-third of the gap, the wild mage floating in the night sky higher than the higher nodded with satisfaction.
"The power of c4 is good, I should bring more next time."
He stroked his chin and looked at the messy alley below. Before the wizards were ambushing, they must have set up many magic traps here, waiting for Strange to step into it.
But how could the wild mage, who was deeply taught by Merlin, be as they wished?
Why fight on the battlefield arranged by the enemy?
If you want to win, you must first make the battlefield beneficial to you.
The standard bomb is powerful. While destroying the alley structure, it also clears the magic traps together. Of course, Strange does not expect a large-scale explosion to harm the cunning black wizards.
As the explosion of flames rose, Strange, who was suspended in the air, clasped his fingers, and between several rotations, orange runes wrapped around his wrist.
Between the magic light shining, a howling wind was called out by him.
The wild mage pushed his hands, and the wind blew rapidly across the area under his feet.
This magic was a secret spell he learned from Kamataj's secret scroll, Watum's Wind, you can tell that it was also a spell invented by the former Supreme Master.
Its effect is very single, which is to clear the battlefield and cover the reconnaissance.
In the wind and the darkness are hidden in the darkness, it is like there is a real-time radar spreading in the mind of the wild mage, exposing one enemy hiding place after another to his heart.
"Swish"
Strange's figure disappeared into the air, and the light of the shape-shifting curse twisted, and he quietly appeared behind a werewolf injured. The green light shot out from the top of the wand and quietly penetrated into the werewolf's back.
Before the corpse fell, the figure of the wild mage disappeared again.
A black wizard hiding on the roof was vigilantly sensing the surroundings, and there was a layer of shining iron armor spell on his body.
He sensed the wave of the shape-shifting spell coming from behind him, and turned around, pointing the wand in his hand to Strange who was rushing out of the light.
But the latter did not dodge or avoid, and was carrying a battle axe with a cold light shining.
The hazy moonlight shone on the roof, and a bloody light rushed up. As the hand was raised and the sword fell, the black wizard's spell had not been finished, and the two-blade battle axe of the Demon-Destroying Saint Silver Blade was slashed on his head.
The axe was fast and fierce, and it directly split the black wizard's head in half.
Strange smiled and grabbed the battle axe and rushed into the sky. The two assassinations had attracted the attention of others. There were many shadows flapping their wings in the darkness.
Well, the ambushed vampires also went out.
“Fly higher!”
Strange put away his battle axe and said to the swaying red cloak behind him.
This thing was a "gift" he received when he visited the New York Sanctuary before leaving New York.
The masquerade who had never been masked was very generous to Strange, and the wizard king, who was the administrator of the New York Sanctuary, did not stop Strange from taking this strange object.
This magic floating cloak is also a magical object made by a supreme wizard once. It allows users to ignore gravity, fly freely in the sky, protect their masters, and fight back against the assassin.
It has its own consciousness and will choose its own holder.
Since Strange could get it, it means that Magic Floating Cloak chose him.
There are many similar strange objects in Kama Taj. A auxiliary item cannot change the strength gap between participants.
The magic floating cloak understood Strange's words. It patted the wild mage's cheek with its corners to express intimacy in this way. The next moment, Strange's flight speed suddenly accelerated.
It was as if he had entered a supersonic state, and the cloak led him to the sky and left the extreme range of the magic of the black wizards.
Behind him, the vampires chased each other reluctantly.
The wild mage looked back and saw a smile on the corner of the handsome former doctor's mouth. He took out something from his waist bag, a silver, ball-like object, and a purple light floating in the center.
This is a gadget made by the Mechanical God Cult.
When leaving New York, Strange brought a lot of these things.
Who doesn't know that vampires appear in Romania? Strange has already made plans to deal with vampires.
"Swoosh"
The thing was thrown behind him. The moment he left his hand, the light shining in the silver grenade suddenly became faster. After a few seconds, a ball of purple light exploded in the air.
Just like the sun shining on the sky in the dark, ultraviolet rays that were hundreds of times higher than normal levels stabbed out like lightsabers, and the unexpected vampires screamed terrifyingly.
In just a moment, these guys were severely burned, smoked all over their bodies and fell to the ground. The most unlucky ones were directly burned to ashes by the explosion of ultraviolet rays.
But vampires have amazing self-healing power and they will recover soon.
But less than a second after the ultraviolet grenade exploded, Strange, who had already rushed into the sky, turned around and rushed down quickly.
His hair roared in the air, and he was holding the battle axe mixed with sacred silver in his hand.
In the horrified gaze of the fallen vampires, this guy who was called a mage, but who looked more like a warrior, swung his axe and kept raising his sword in the air.
The movements are accurate and the experience of being a doctor made Strange know how to use a sharp weapon to cause maximum damage to the enemy.
In just over a dozen seconds, the vampires who were chasing them were wailing and turned into burning ashes under the fatal injury of the Holy Silver cutting off their necks.
"Although I'm just starting out, I've also received complete combat training for the witch hunter... It's not a boast. I'm much easier to use an axe than a magic wand."
Strange cut off the head of the last vampire, and he whistled, saying to the terrified head in his hand:
"This is how our wild mage fights."
After getting rid of the vampire, Strange was about to fall back to the ground to kill the dark wizards who were hiding.
The attacker this time was average in strength, and he should have just been thrown out as cannon fodder to test Strange's strength. The black wizard who stole his other half of Watum's wand should have not appeared yet.
Maybe I should leave a living place.
Strange's hands were wrapped with rune halos, and the power of the group attack secret technique Sabot Thunder was ready to go.
Just when the wild mage falls into the ground, the rolling liquid thunder will bring a fatal blow to the last few guys who have not escaped.
But just as he was about to fall to the ground, the magic floating cloak behind Strange seemed to have noticed some kind of crisis, and changed direction at the moment of falling, like a vector thruster, rushed back into the sky with surprise Strange.
The next second, a white beam of light appeared in Strange's horizon.
The pillar of light rushed straight into the dark sky, like a raised sword, suddenly slashing towards the dark alley where the black wizards were hiding.
"boom"
It was like a nuclear bomb exploded in this small area. The flying light made Strange unable to help but cover his eyes. He could feel the stinging pain in his eyes.
The attack just now is definitely not something he can resist now.
And the light pillar came and went quickly. After a few seconds, the night reigned on the earth and everything became quiet.
The wild mage looked down and saw that the abandoned alley, along with the surrounding half of the deserted block, were crushed into powder under that blow, which was like a demolition site.
Wild mages no longer need to worry about the problems brought by the dark wizards who have hidden their heads and tails.
The owners of those problems have been solved.
Driven by the Magic Floating Cloak, Strange slowly fell to the ground. He grabbed the crystal skull wand with his left hand and an axe with his right hand, and looked vigilantly at the lady standing on the edge of the ruins.
She had blonde hair, green eyes, and a black lady's suit, with her right hand in her pocket and a one-handed sword with a blue-red hilt in her left hand.
The most eye-catching thing is that there is a bunch of dull hair swinging in the wind at the top of her hair.
"I have solved all the black wizards who play with evil magic."
The girl in suit looked at Strange who was alert. The sword in her hand turned into a light spot to dissipate. As the light feathers were flying, she said in a cold voice:
"You are safe, Wild Mage."
"So who are you?"
Strange did not relax his guard because of the girl's words, he asked:
"I don't remember that I have a friend as good as you..."
"We are not friends, you can rest assured of this."
The girl in suit snapped her fingers, and a moment later, a black classic car drove from the dark night in the distance and stopped behind the girl in suit.
She opened the car door and made a "please" move to Strange, she said:
"But my Lord has some connection with you. She wants to talk to you before the battle for the Supreme Master begins. No need to worry, this meeting will not anger your mentor."
Seeing Strange still hesitating, the girl in the suit spoke again and persuaded:
"When facing a strong enemy, the weak are united together, which is the only way to win. I think Mr. Merlin should have taught you this principle."
"You just said 'Master'?"
Strange blinked, and he looked at the girl in the suit in front of him. After seeing the unnatural magic line on her body, the wild mage suddenly realized, and he said:
"You are a hero...ah, I get it. It was Ms. Hermione who invited me, another contestant."
The wild mage looked back at the abandoned block that had become ruins. He thought for a moment, then put away his wand and battle axe and sat in the classic car.
More than ten minutes later, the car parked in a mountain manor outside Bucharest.
Strange opened the car door and saw the British Deputy Minister of Magic, Merlin's sister, Ms. Hermione, waiting at the door.
She was wearing a lady's suit like a heroic girl, but strangely, she had a mechanical long sword around her waist, looking like a legendary magic swordsman.
"Welcome to you, Mr. Stephen Strange."
Hermione reached out to Strange in the unique, cold and gentle tone of the British.
She looked into Strange's eyes and said:
"You are my brother's disciple and the seventh person participating in the competition, so I won't waste our precious time."
"The battle for the Supreme Master is about to begin. I want to form an alliance with you, if you agree..."
