Chapter 286 Tragedy in the Sanctuary!
Greenwich Village, Manhattan.
117A Baker Street.
It is inside this supreme sanctuary that no mortal can see.
Mage apprentices in apprentice robes were walking back and forth in the hall on the second floor.
They tried hard to open their palms.
Countless healing spells with repeatedly jumping blue runes continued to scatter around him.
And on the cold floor covered with gorgeous patterns.
The formal mages, some with broken limbs or severely burned, kept uttering uncontrollable moans of pain.
Only when the cooling energy of the healing spell completely enveloped their bodies could they barely relieve the severe pain they were enduring.
At the same time, even Strange, who was in a deep coma, was lying among the wounded and receiving continuous treatment from spells.
Miraculously, he survived.
Sizzle, sizzle—
At this moment, circles of sparks flew.
A circular portal suddenly appeared above the magnificent floor not far away.
Then, the slightly plump Wang with a solemn expression on his fat face quickly stepped into the New York Sanctuary.
With a frown on his face, he glanced at the tragic scene in front of him.
Then he walked straight towards the man not far away who was holding a magical staff in his hand.
A strong black man whose face turned almost pale due to massive blood loss.
"Master Daniel, how are your injuries recovering?"
The king quickly asked the guardian mage of the New York Sanctuary named Daniel.
"You're not going to die yet... Why are you the only one who came to our call for help?"
Daniel with a wizard's robe draped over his broad shoulders.
Subconsciously, he glanced at the exposed chest wrapped in a blood-oozing bandage.
Then he blinked slightly.
He stared at the solemn king with a puzzled look and continued to ask:
"Where's Mordo? Where's Casillas? Has Master Ancient One already known about our situation here?"
"Not long ago, a strange situation of cannibalistic zombies suddenly broke out near the Hong Kong Island Sanctuary. At the invitation of the Spear Bureau, Master Hamil, Mordo and most of the official mages went there to deal with the impending zombie tide. The remaining official mages needed to be stationed in Kamar-Taj, so they couldn't spare any more manpower."
The king shook his head slightly and continued with a serious expression:
"As for Master Gu Yi, all messages have been sent, but no response has been received yet. Perhaps the master is also dealing with something important that we cannot participate in."
After listening to Wang's brief narration.
Daniel took a deep breath.
He tried hard to suppress the slight pain coming from his chest and other parts of his body, frowned and said:
"What about Casillas? Didn't he not participate in any missions? Whether it was the attack on the Hong Kong Sanctuary or the encounter with the New York Sanctuary, he must have shouldered the important responsibilities of a Kamar-Taj wizard, right?"
"Casillas' dissatisfaction with Master Ancient One is growing day by day, especially after he was seriously injured by a guest from the mortal world last time. I can clearly see that the hatred in the depths of his eyes has gradually obscured his heart. This is a taboo for a mage!"
"Whether he is willing to guard the sanctuary or not, I am worried about letting him leave Kamar-Taj...Mage Daniel, the Casillas you and I knew in the past may no longer be here."
The king stared at Daniel, whose face was pale, and sighed earnestly.
"Maybe it was fate, or maybe it was his personality, Master Gu Yi shouldn't have listened to his desperate pleas and taken him in."
At this moment, Daniel, whose face was pale, also nodded slightly.
He moved his dry lips and said softly,
"Forget it. This is not something I can decide... King, let's get down to business. You should have understood the situation in the early stages. The infamous Ghost Rider has lost control again, and this time the situation seems to be more serious than before."
"Almost all of the more than 30 official mages who went to suppress the rebellion were seriously injured, including me."
"Vishanti's white magic power can hardly control the Ghost Rider now. If we hadn't arranged the mirror space in advance, I'm afraid not only would we not be able to return, but even the nearby big city of New York would be in real trouble..."
"Seven or eight million mortals, how many of them can withstand the Judgement Eye of Ghost Rider?"
"Fortunately, the endless mirror space can still trap it for a while, but I am also worried that it will not last long, because this time the out-of-control Ghost Rider seems to be recovering its lost memories. When the gradually returning terrifying power expands to a point that the mirror space cannot bear it, perhaps only the invincible Master Ancient One can help us solve this problem."
Hear Daniel's report and analysis of the current situation.
Wang thought for a moment with a serious expression, then nodded slowly and said:
"Then we can't give it the chance to continue accumulating strength, otherwise it will cause a greater disaster. I'm going to contact Mordo to see if the Hong Kong Island Sanctuary can spare some manpower to help us."
"Besides, since Vishanti's white magic doesn't work, then we should fight poison with poison and give some black magic a try. We can't just let the out-of-control Ghost Rider continue to wreak havoc on the mortal world, right? I think Master Ancient One will understand our decision."
At this moment, Wang's words immediately aroused Daniel's approval.
The burly black man nodded solemnly.
He subconsciously tightened the magic staff in his palm.
Then he held up his strong body even though his injuries had not yet healed, with great difficulty.
Crackling——
At this moment, there was a loud noise accompanied by a burst of space tearing.
A space crack with a broken edge suddenly appeared above the staircase in the lobby of the New York Sanctuary.
"ah--"
"No!"
In an instant, two mage apprentices came back from outside carrying medical supplies.
The fragile body was silently scratched by the flying space fragments!
Those extremely terrifying spatial forces kept tearing their flesh and blood, but did not hurt their bones at all!
The endless pain of not being able to die in a short time also made the mage apprentices subconsciously let out a tragic howl!
The next second, a tall body wearing an exquisitely crafted white suit appeared.
The white-haired old man with a monocle in front of one eye slowly stepped out of the space crack with his hands behind his back!
At this moment, this leisurely white-haired old man.
He stared at the mage apprentices who were torn into bloody skeletons by the space debris with a smile, and praised calmly:
"If you hadn't come back from your trip, it would have been really hard to break into the defensive formation of the Supreme Sanctuary... Thank you, thank you for your cooperation, young men."
The white-haired old man hadn't finished speaking.
The space crack behind him actually slowly closed up and finally disappeared completely into the air!
"Who are you? Why are you invading the Supreme Sanctuary?"
At this moment, an angry roar from behind interrupted the white-haired old man's hypocritical remembrance.
With a smile on his face, he slowly turned his sturdy body.
A peaceful look through a monocle.
He stared at the furious Mage Daniel and the livid-faced King.
"Let me introduce myself... My name is Faust."
"I am a tourist from Europe and a great magician who does this out of interest."
"I originally came here to investigate the so-called Terra Star Legion. After all, old people also need to relieve their loneliness and have some fun. But not long ago, the Great Demon Shadow, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly gave me a new prophecy."
"I'm sorry, young mages. I have no grudge against Kamar-Taj, but for my faith and pleasure..."
"Please just die!"
Thank you for your support!
