Snap—
In a moment of carelessness,
Kaecilius's robe corner was scratched by a bone thorn.
The fine orange-yellow robe sizzled under the corrosive green liquid.
Kaecilius frowned slightly; he knew he couldn't continue like this. If he kept waiting to die, wouldn't he be pricked into a hedgehog by these bone thorns, not even leaving a complete corpse?
He glanced again at Sharlot, who was tightly wrapped by countless black hands.
Kaecilius muttered to himself.
If I secretly cheat a little, Sharlot probably won't know, right?
Thinking of this,
Kaecilius formed a hand seal with his left hand and gently waved his right hand.
Immediately after,
Except for the Mirror Dimension where Sharlot was, which remained still, the remaining Mirror Dimensions, using fifty centimeters as nodes, began to rotate counter-clockwise at different high speeds.
And each node was slightly separated by a distance.
Under this operation, like a tumble dryer's rotation speed,
The bone thorns that were previously splattering chaotically in the narrow space became traceable due to centrifugal force.
They all clung to the walls and shot out into the void behind the nodes.
Meanwhile, Kaecilius held a Magic Shield in his left hand and a Blade of Space in his right.
As if entering his own home, he stood steadily on the high-speed rotating spatial wall, dealing with the white bones that were launching bone thorns.
Not long after,
All the white bones in the entire Mirror Dimension were completely cut away by Kaecilius with the Blade of Space.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked up to Sharlot, and used the Blade of Space to forcefully cut through the large hands formed by Undead Skeletons.
Putting on a nonchalant facade, he said to Sharlot in the middle of the black hands,
"Sharlot, after a month of study, your cultivation in magic is indeed good. If you have any other moves, just use them all!"
Although he said that,
Kaecilius couldn't help but feel a secret trepidation in his heart.
After all, he was the one who opened this Mirror Dimension space.
It was equivalent to him being both the judge and the contestant.
But just now, facing Sharlot's simple Bone Spike Whip attack, he had to constantly shift and dodge, looking quite disheveled and strenuous.
And he even used the power of spatial rules.
If it weren't for the fact that he opened this Mirror Dimension, he might have been knocked down directly with one strike like last time!
Of course, Sharlot couldn't possibly know what Kaecilius was thinking.
He only heard Kaecilius say—
"If you have any other moves, just use them all!"
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Tsk tsk tsk, look at that, look at that.
As expected of Kamar-Taj's Master Brother!
His strength is truly formidable!
He easily broke through my Bone Spike Whip attack.
It seems I also need to unleash some big moves!
So,
Sharlot took a deep breath.
Hundreds of small Hell's Gates, densely packed, opened like black holes behind Sharlot.
Behind each Hell's Gate, a dark long snake with a crimson, flicking tongue looked at Kaecilius with malevolent eyes.
Kaecilius looked at the hundreds of crimson eyes behind Sharlot and couldn't help but feel his heart pound.
Did I speak too boldly just now?
I told you to use all your moves, and you actually used all your moves!
Do you really have to pick on your old senior?
He quickly took several deep breaths, forcibly calmed himself, and thought to himself,
Wait!
Calm down!
Kaecilius, you need to calm down!
It's just hundreds of dark long snakes from the Dark Dimension!
At most, this is a quasi-A-Rank difficulty!
You are a man who has handled multiple A-Rank exorcism missions, and even collaborated with Sorcerer Ancient One on S-Rank exorcism missions!
How could you be afraid of these little things?
Moreover, summoning so many Undead creatures by opening so many Portals simultaneously, surely the strength of each Undead creature isn't that great, right?
So, for this battle, just respond with confidence!
However, just as Kaecilius was constantly giving himself psychological hints,
The next moment, Sharlot slowly spoke.
"HYDRA... Hail!"
As the words fell!
Countless dark long snakes with crimson eyes shot out from behind the Hell's Gates!
These black long snakes each opened their mouths, devouring and merging with each other.
Finally,
A HYDRA monster appeared before Kaecilius, exuding a deathly aura, covered in deep black, hard scales, with nine heads, each snake head's eyes emitting different colored lights, looking extremely oppressive, as if it would burst through the entire Mirror Dimension space.
Kaecilius was dumbfounded.
No, are you telling me that the small snakes, which were originally not even palm-sized, would eventually form such a huge HYDRA, five or six meters tall!?
And this is HYDRA!
The HYDRA that, if not for Captain America Steve's obstruction, would have led its army to rule almost the entire Earth during World War II!
And you just blurted out 'Hail HYDRA'.
What's up?
Sharlot, you're not planning to put on a Black Skull mask and become the new HYDRA leader, are you?
Is this a legitimate White Mage's move or skill?
Are these words a legitimate White Mage would say?
This is too sinister!
If you say 'Hail HYDRA', then I might as well say 'Hail Dormammu'!
Due to the enormous size of the HYDRA in front of him,
Kaecilius couldn't help but retreat a little, and this also made him discover a fatal flaw in the HYDRA.
That is, this guy is simply too big!
It's almost bursting through this entire Mirror Dimension space!
In that case, doesn't that mean the opponent is at a disadvantage in terms of movement, attack, and defense?
Thinking of this,
Kaecilius's eyes lit up!
Finally!
Finally, he found an opportunity to turn the tables!
Just as he was about to swing the Blade of Space to decapitate the HYDRA in front of him,
Suddenly,
An incredible scene occurred.
He saw.
The gigantic HYDRA in front kept rubbing against the surrounding air walls, emitting chilling hissing sounds from its mouth.
Kaecilius clearly saw at this moment.
One of the HYDRA's heads was spraying purple acidic liquid at the surrounding walls.
It hit the air wall with a 'smack', immediately making a sizzling sound.
And the Mirror Dimension, which should have been fixed in position and maintained constant length, width, and height, actually began to distort and extend under the effect of this acidic liquid.
Kaecilius's eyes widened instantly, his face full of disbelief.
One must know that he was the one who opened this Mirror Dimension!
Under normal circumstances, unless the opener actively expands the Mirror Dimension, it's simply impossible for the Mirror Dimension to expand again!
But under the effect of the opponent's acidic venom, the Mirror Dimension space expanded so easily?
The only disadvantage of this massive HYDRA was that it was in a narrow space.
If he really let the opponent expand this Mirror Dimension to a distance where it could freely stretch, wouldn't he be completely defenseless?
No, he had to resolve this as soon as possible before all of that happened!
So, Kaecilius no longer hesitated.
He lightly tapped his toes, and his entire body flew into mid-air, holding the Blade of Space and severing all nine heads of the HYDRA in front of him with one stroke!
Standing over the motionless HYDRA lying on the ground, he looked at Sharlot, whose figure had been hidden behind the HYDRA.
Kaecilius couldn't help but smile triumphantly.
"Sharlot, are these all the moves you have?
If it's just like this, then I have to tell you, I won this battle!"
However, what surprised Kaecilius was that,
Sharlot's face didn't seem to show any expression of helplessness or disappointment after defeat; instead, he still had a confident demeanor, as if everything was under his control.
Sharlot slowly spoke.
"Master Brother Kaecilius, have you ever heard a saying?"
"What saying?"
"Cut off one head of the HYDRA, and two more will grow back!"
As the words fell!
The HYDRA, whose heads Kaecilius had cut off and was lying on the ground,
Suddenly underwent a strange transformation!
