American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

At the end of the street, that enormous green thing looked like a moving mountain of flesh.

His thick arms were twice as thick as Carter's thighs, and veins bulged under his green skin.

As he roared madly, he tore an alien spacecraft in two with his bare hands.

Sparks and parts flew everywhere.

Although the Hulk's name had long been known throughout New York, the visual impact of witnessing this nearly three-meter-tall, over 1,000-pound monster go berserk was simply breathtaking.

He grabbed a car and threw it at the alien soldier in mid-air like a sandbag.

The whole of New York seemed to have become his personal playground.

"Senior Brother! It's time for you to show your skills!"

Lin Jie looked at Hulk, not afraid at all, but excitedly took a step back to make room for Carter.

Since Carter boasted so much just now, this is a great opportunity to witness the advanced magic of Kamar-Taj!

If I could secretly learn a couple of tricks from the sidelines, this trip to New York would have been worthwhile.

Lilia, who was standing next to her, also took two steps back.

Although she had martial arts training, she was still clear-headed.

These inhuman monsters would be no match for you; they'd just be delivering takeout.

"Senior brother, it's up to you! Let us witness the true power of Kamar-Taj!"

Lillia stared at Carter with shining eyes.

Carter stood frozen in place, his back to the two men, on the verge of tears.

Those two are such a pain!

I'm just a half-baked guy who didn't even manage to get a permanent position!

Go up and fight the Hulk?

Hulk could slap me so hard I'd fly to the next state!

Carter's calves were shaking so badly they looked like they had motors, and his feet were rooted to the ground, unable to move an inch.

But if I back down now, all the high-minded image I've worked so hard to build will be ruined!

Just as Carter was having an internal struggle.

Hulk, who was in the distance, seemed to have sensed something and suddenly turned his head, his lantern-sized eyes fixed on Carter.

The two, one human and one strange, stared at each other across the messy street.

Surrounded by raging flames and alien corpses, the atmosphere froze instantly.

"roar--!"

Hulk opened his gaping maw and let out a deafening roar at Carter.

A foul-smelling wind, carrying sand and dust, swept towards us.

Carter felt his heart skip a beat from the shout, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

His junior brothers and sisters behind him were still eagerly waiting for him to display his prowess.

There's no way they can escape now.

Do you value your reputation or your life?

Carter gritted his teeth, screaming inwardly: So what if I die? At least I should die like a man!

"You all better watch out!" Carter roared, trying to bolster his courage. "The mages of Kamar-Taj don't have the word 'retreat' in their vocabulary!"

While shouting slogans, Carter's fingers were already frantically gesturing behind his back, quickly forming a telepathic spell to send an urgent distress signal to the unknown Master Wang.

Carter's roar successfully enraged Hulk.

With a roar, the green fat man strode forward with his long, thick legs, charging towards Carter like a raging heavy tank.

Despite his large size, he is incredibly fast.

After running a few steps, Hulk slammed his legs off the ground, crushing the hard asphalt road.

"boom!"

His massive body soared into the air, leaping as high as ten stories!

In mid-air, Hulk clenched his fists into a giant fist and smashed it straight down on Carter with the terrifying force of Mount Tai crashing down!

If you get hit by that, there won't be any bones left, not even a pulp!

"Senior Brother! Be careful!"

"Senior brother! Get out of the way!"

Lin Jie and Lilia were terrified and retreated repeatedly.

However, Carter remained rooted to the spot like a wooden stake, looking up at the Hulk crashing down like a meteor, without moving an inch.

"Too strong..." Lilia murmured to herself, her face full of admiration, looking at Carter's unwavering back. "To remain calm in the face of such a desperate situation, Senior Brother's level is something I can never reach in my entire life..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Hulk's massive fist had already slammed into the ground less than a meter above Carter's head!

The violent gust of wind even flattened Carter's hair.

At this critical moment.

Carter suddenly raised his hands and used all his strength to make a large circle in mid-air.

"Buzz!"

A dazzling golden portal instantly opened above Carter's head.

"Whoosh—"

Hulk, wielding immense power, plunged headfirst into the portal without even making a ripple.

The portal closed instantly.

The streets were quiet.

Carter remained with his hand raised, drenched in sweat and panting heavily.

Lilia: "...This?"

Lin Jie: "...Holy crap, this even works?"

To be honest, Lin Jie felt quite uncomfortable.

When Hulk charged at him in a frenzy, he thought Carter would unleash some devastating attack.

Turns out, after all that, it turned out to be just a portal.

I'm already tired of this trick, so I've never had a chance to learn a new spell.

"Senior Brother, you went through all that trouble, and all you got was a teleportation portal?"

Lin Jie pursed his lips, looking utterly dejected.

Carter, feigning composure, sternly reprimanded, "What nonsense are you spouting! What's this about spells being ranked high or low? As long as it works! If it can drive the enemy away, it's a good spell!"

"The eldest brother is right."

Lilia nodded earnestly in agreement.

Lin Jie scratched his hair.

Could this senior disciple be a fraud?

All you can do is talk?

Forget it, since Master Wang is in charge of teaching me now, I don't expect to learn anything from him.

"Alright, senior brother, let's continue rescuing people."

Lin Jie shrugged.

Carter waved his hand: "You two go ahead, I'll rest here for a bit."

Lin Jie and Lilia exchanged a confused look, but didn't ask any further questions, and turned to walk towards the ruins ahead.

Little did they know, Carter didn't want to rest at all; his legs were so weak he couldn't move!

"Good heavens... I was terrified! If I had been even a fraction of a second slower, he'd be a pulp by now!"

Carter lowered his voice, trembling as he forcefully pounded his wildly beating chest.

He watched his two junior brothers and sisters walk away and was just about to find a curb to sit down and catch his breath.

Just then.

Lin Jie's altered voice rang out from ahead: "Senior Brother!"

Carter quickly adopted the air of a master and looked up ahead.

Upon seeing this, Carter was practically terrified!

"Big Brother! Hulk is back!"

Lin Jie pointed ahead and shouted.

"Nonsense! I'm not blind!"

Carter was almost in tears.

How powerful could the portal he created be, given that he's just a half-baked nobody without even a formal position?

At most, you'll be teleported to a few streets away.

Hulk tumbled out of the door, but found his way back around the corner.

Moreover, the Hulk was clearly provoked this time.

He learned his lesson; instead of smashing cars or doing long jumps, he simply took two big, thick legs and, like a raging high-speed train, hurtled straight towards Carter, skimming along the ground!

The speed is more than twice as fast as before!

Its entire body was covered in green muscles that were trembling, exuding a murderous aura.

Carter wanted to try drawing another circle, but his hands were shaking so badly they felt like they were being electrocuted and wouldn't obey him at all.

Fear instantly overwhelmed his reason; he couldn't even muster a complete incantation, let alone concentrate on mobilizing his magic.

If you stand there like that any longer, you're definitely going to be crushed into a meat pie!

In that life-or-death moment, Carter suddenly turned around and roared at Lin Jie, "Lin Jie! It's your turn this time!"

Lin Jie stood there, stunned, and pointed to his nose: "Me?"

Wasn't it supposed to be that the senior brother would carry us through the journey?

"Nonsense! This is your practical training exercise! Let me see what real skills you've learned these past few days! Don't be afraid, I'll come to your rescue if things get too tough!"

Carter roared with righteous indignation.

He was truly terrified. Instead of using Lin Jie, such a freakish monster, he insisted on taking the hit himself.

With Lin Jie's current strength, he could easily outclass him by a wide margin with a single strike!

"Get started! Don't dawdle!"

Carter was so anxious he kept stamping his feet.

Hulk had already charged close.

A giant green fist was raised high, bringing with it a pungent, fishy smell, mixed with flying sand and stones, and then it crashed down.

Lin Jie didn't have time to think much; his muscle memory instantly took over his movements.

He suddenly raised his right hand and made a rapid slash in mid-air.

"Buzz!"

A golden halo, twice the size of the previous one, instantly formed!

With immense force, Hulk couldn't stop himself, and his massive body plunged headfirst into the portal with a loud thud.

The halo vanished instantly.

The streets were quiet again.

"My God! That was close!"

"How come you opened the door so fast!"

Carter and Lillia gasped in surprise, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

Lin Jie drew circles so fast just now that they were practically blurry!

This casting speed is absolutely comparable to that of Master Wang!

How could a novice who has only been practicing magic for a few days become so proficient?

abnormal!

That's insane!

Carter wiped away a cold sweat, panting heavily, and asked, "Lin Jie, where did you throw this monster this time?"

Lin Jie awkwardly withdrew his hand and scratched the back of his head: "Senior brother... in my panic just now, only a familiar coordinate flashed through my mind..."

"Where did you go?"

"It seems... he's been thrown back to Asgard."

Carter's vision went black, and he almost fainted on the spot.

"Holy crap! Why aren't you closing the door properly?! I really want to piss Odin off and have him come down and chop you to pieces!"

That brat, he's such a worry!
