Swish! Su Chen effortlessly erased the spatial distances around him, drawing four figures near. There was no traceable trajectory, nor any detectable energy fluctuations. The concept of distance erased, the sanctum sorcerers were dumbfounded.
"Not good!" they sensed the impending lethal intent. Swish! Su Chen's waist emitted energy waves forming tentacles, which then struck at the surrounding figures.
Squelch! Squelch! The sound of blood splattering filled the air as the unfortunate sorcerers were impaled, their chests pierced by the energy tentacles. Their bodies fell lifelessly.
"Your life ends now," came a roar from behind. An unseen sanctum sorcerer, utilizing space travel and invisibility magic, attacked.
In a flash, his magically forged blade, shining in the sunlight, aimed at Su Chen's vital point. He was unaware that Su Chen, with his keen spatial awareness and perceptive abilities, had already detected the attack.
"With such paltry means, you dare to ambush me?" Su Chen scoffed. He swept an energy tentacle backward, sending the assailant flying.
Swish! Another crimson-robed sorcerer charged from the front, his magical blade aimed at Su Chen's chest. "Courting death," Su Chen's expression remained unfazed. He reached forward, catching the blade, shattering it with his strength.
The sorcerer, shocked, realized too late the futility of his attack. Su Chen grabbed the broken shards and, without hesitation, drove them into the sorcerer's heart. "Ugh..." the sorcerer spat blood, eyes filled with despair, realizing the formidable nature of his opponent.
"Damn it!" Watching from afar, Baron Mordo clenched his teeth. The boy's growth had far exceeded his expectations, becoming even stronger. Yet, the Ancient One was about to intervene.
Swish! Chains, imbued with magical power, emerged from the void, binding Su Chen's limbs. "Enough," said the Ancient One. The boy's ruthlessness and skill troubled her; he had slaughtered so many of Kamar-Taj's sorcerers before her eyes.
"Do you think these chains can hold me?" Su Chen sneered, feeling the draining power of the void chains. But before fatigue could set in, his magic resistance surged, breaking the chains with a loud crack.
"Hmm..." the Ancient One, surprised by his resistance to magic, sensed an unknown power acting on her. He was again erasing the concept of distance between them. The Ancient One remained calm, her face showing no sign of panic.
Swish! Hundreds of meters were erased as Su Chen closed in. This was his home turf advantage. With his anger burning, he clenched his fist and struck forward, the force of the blow shattering the fragile space, creating numerous cracks.
But just before his punch landed, the Eye of Agamotto around the Ancient One's neck emitted a brilliant green light. The oval green gem in the magical pendant unleashed its power. Time waves took effect, causing Su Chen's punch to reverse, as if time was rewinding. His precise attack was undone by the Ancient One's time manipulation.
Returning to her original position, the Ancient One drew a sigh of relief, but Su Chen realized the change. [Time Resistance +200] his system updated his gene mutation information.
Compared to David's time-stopping ability, this woman's green gem was more adept at manipulating time. "It's over," the Ancient One, recognizing the boy's reality-altering and distance-erasing abilities, now fully wielded the Eye of Agamotto, the Time Stone.
A wave of time energy spread out, like a clock's pendulum swinging backward. The reversal force aimed at Su Chen. The Ancient One could effortlessly age a perfect apple into a withered state. Now, she intended to rewind Su Chen's time, reducing his power by sending him back six months or a year.
