American comics: Incredible comprehension, hand-crafted forbidden spells

The morning in Kamar-Taj was originally peaceful and serene, but now it was as if a bomb had been dropped on it, causing it to explode completely.

"What happened? Why did it suddenly get dark?!"

"I feel extremely anxious and short of breath. Is a major disaster about to happen?"

"Level One Alert! All mages, assemble in the plaza immediately! Hurry!"

Terrified screams echoed through the corridors and courtyard.

Outside the temple, the sky, which had just begun to brighten, quickly darkened as if someone had suddenly covered it with a black cloth.

This darkness is not simply the absence of light, but rather a profound and soul-chilling sense of oppression.

All mages with magical perception sensed it in that instant: an extremely terrifying evil force was frantically approaching Earth!

To be more precise, they came directly to Kathmandu!

The entire Kamar-Taj instantly entered a state of highest alert.

Meanwhile, inside the temple.

The Ancient One stood by the window, watching the sky outside being rapidly swallowed by darkness, his face more grim than ever before.

As the Sorcerer Supreme who has protected the Earth for centuries, she didn't even need to sense things carefully; just by smelling the familiar, decaying odor in the air, she knew who had come.

The Ancient One, who had lived for hundreds of years and whose heart had always been as still as water, suddenly found her heart pounding uncontrollably.

She turned her head sharply and stared intently at Lin Jie, who was still standing in the center of the magic circle.

"Lin Jie," the Ancient One's voice was hoarse, "this...you summoned him?"

Lin Jie nodded obediently: "That's right, Master. Didn't you ask me to test the limits of the summoning spell? I just used all my strength to pull it, but I haven't even seen what it pulled over yet."

Gu Yi: ...

I told you to push your limits, not to challenge the limits of human survival!

The Ancient One is now completely defeated by his disciple's thought process.

She took several deep breaths to force herself to calm down, and said, word by word, "I know what you summoned. It's Dormammu."

God knows how desperate the Ancient One felt when she uttered those three words.

Sometimes she really felt that she hadn't taken in an apprentice, but a living ancestor who was here to scare her!

For centuries, the Ancient One went to great lengths to keep Dormammu out of Earth. She fought him every time she saw him, chasing him away like flies.

But who could have imagined!

Despite all his precautions, it turned out that his own apprentice's summoning spell had given Dormammu a one-way ticket to Earth?!

If she had known that this kid's summoning magic could pull people across dimensions, she would never have uttered the words "challenge the limits"!

When others learn summoning magic, they start by summoning an apple or a water glass.

This unlucky kid went and bypassed inanimate objects, directly summoning living beings! And he even pulled over the ultimate boss from the Dark Dimension in one fell swoop!

The Ancient One finally understood why Lin Jie had spent so long casting his spell, sweating profusely, without making a sound.

It turns out that this kid forcefully broke through the dimensional barrier by relying on his enormous magical reserves, dragging the behemoth Dormammu into the summoning channel!

To summon a dimensional ruler from another dimension, you need to know how terrifying the energy that would consume.

Dormammu originally wanted to come to Earth, but he still needed his fanatical followers to kill and sacrifice people and carry out complicated summoning rituals on Earth.

Now, Lin Jie has thoughtfully taken care of the entire ceremony, providing chartered plane transportation!

"Dormammu?!" Lin Jie's eyes widened when he heard the name.

Holy crap! This is a disaster!

He was simply testing the limits of his magical power; he hadn't used any specific summoning technique. Who knew that a casually cast net would yield such a huge shark!

"Master, can we return this? Can I send it back right away?" Lin Jie panicked.

Before the Ancient One could answer.

The screams of extreme terror from the mages could be heard from outside:

"It's Dormammu! The Lord of Darkness has descended!"

The Ancient One's face darkened, and she strode towards the temple's exit: "It's too late!"

Lin Jie quickly followed.

The two rushed out of the temple and looked up.

The sky above Kathmandu was completely shrouded in thick darkness.

In the heart of that boundless darkness, a gigantic, grotesque face covered in wrinkles and purple markings looked down upon the entire city!

It was Dormammu!

"This is a huge problem," the Ancient One murmured, looking up at the sky.

At this time.

Dormammu, suspended in mid-air, was also in a complete daze.

"???" Dormammu was completely bewildered. "How did I suddenly end up on Earth?"

He was peacefully in the Dark Dimension, plotting how to win over more Earth believers. Suddenly, he felt an extremely powerful suction force lock onto him, and before he could react, he was already above Kathmandu!

Dormammu lowered his head, his enormous eyes sweeping over Kamar-Taj below.

He quickly spotted a figure in a gray robe in the crowd—Lin Jie!

Dormammu recognized him immediately. Wasn't this the arrogant kid who had followed the Ancient One to his territory last time and then slipped away right in front of him?

Isn't he the Ancient One's apprentice?

Why were I summoned to Earth?

Could it be... that this kid has suddenly come to his senses and decided to betray the Ancient One and join the great dark forces?!

Dormammu imagined a grand drama unfolding before his eyes and was overjoyed!

No matter how outrageous the process was, he has now broken through Earth's defense barrier and has truly arrived!

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Dormammu's deafening laughter echoed across the sky, shattering countless windows in the buildings below.

"Ancient One! You've been wary of me for so many years, but in the end, it was your disciple who invited me in! Now, feel the baptism of darkness! Earth will eventually become my territory!"

Dormammu roared arrogantly, and a vast amount of dark energy began to spread in all directions.

Looking at the arrogant Dormammu in the sky.

The Ancient One was so angry that his teeth itched.

She taught Lin Jie magic, originally intending to cultivate a super-powerful fighter to combat Dormammu.

As it turned out, this kid hadn't even mastered all his skills yet, and he'd already lured out the final boss!

With Lin Jie's current level, although he has a large amount of magic power, he doesn't know any high-level attack magic at all, so going up against him would be a waste of time.

Moreover, once Dormammu arrives, his power will be continuously amplified by the Dark Dimension, making him stronger with each battle!

The Ancient One took a deep breath and quickly formed a hand seal.

It seems there's no way we can avoid this tough battle today!
