Who am I?
Where am I?
Lockhart's mind was confused, and many questions kept popping up. He seemed to remember something very important, but he couldn't recall it clearly.
This made him feel very uncomfortable.
But then, he suddenly felt a cold, refreshing sensation rush into his brain, and his consciousness gradually returned.
At the same time, the jade pendant around Lockhart's neck began to emit a lavender light, gradually disappearing into his mind, seemingly restoring his mental state.
Soon, Lockhart regained full consciousness and opened his eyes, looking at the unconscious people around him, including his pet, the basilisk, with a wry smile on his face.
Immediately afterward, he saw that the golden door, which originally symbolized the dragon bone seal, had collapsed, leaving a dark hole.
But Dormammu's physical carrier had disappeared, and Lockhart's expression changed.
He might have messed up this time.
Who would have thought that Dormammu would come in person?
According to their original plan, even if there was a flaw, both Kaecilius and Morin could hold off the enemy.
As for Lockhart and the basilisk, as long as they quickly dealt with Elektra, they might even bring her into their camp.
The battle would have been basically won.
But Dormammu actually entered the scene, which was beyond Lockhart's expectations, and immediately after, the situation completely collapsed.
It seemed that he could only use his last trump card.
With his thoughts turning, Lockhart waved the wand in his hand and cast a soul revival spell, covering Kaecilius, Morin, and the basilisk, helping them quickly regain consciousness.
After casting the spell, Lockhart took out a few bottles of potion and began to replenish his magic power.
At the same time, he walked up to Elektra and continued to correct her consciousness, adding a certain amount of combat power for the final decisive battle.
Well, while the Hand's Five Fingers were still in a coma, he might as well kill them conveniently.
But what surprised Lockhart was that after the Five Fingers of the Hand died, there were no bodies left behind—they instead turned into ashes, which made him pause and think.
However, he didn't ponder for long.
Kaecilius woke up first, with Morin following closely behind.
Only the basilisk was still unconscious, which made Lockhart a little anxious inside, though he remained calm on the outside, continuing to call out through the contract in his mind.
After a while, the basilisk shook its body slightly and slowly recovered.
At the same time, Elektra, whose consciousness had been corrected, also followed Lockhart.
Kaecilius and Morin naturally knew the plan and said nothing more.
The four of them, along with the beast, looked at the entrance of the dragon bone cave ahead of them and entered without hesitation.
Kaecilius had already sent a signal for help.
Therefore, they didn't need to defeat Dormammu. The most important thing was to delay and not allow Dormammu the chance to obtain the energy needed to come to Earth. The Sorcerer Supreme would handle the rest.
After everyone entered the dragon bone cave, the space shifted, and Lockhart found that he and his group were in an underground bronze hall.
In the middle of the hall, a huge skeleton was placed on the ground. The skeleton had many defects but emitted huge energy fluctuations, a trace of desire involuntarily rising in their hearts.
They immediately understood that this was the dragon bone.
Lockhart's eyes fixed on Lawrence—or Dormammu—who was sitting cross-legged in the hall in front of the dragon bone.
They saw the figure sitting cross-legged, touching the dragon bone with his hands. At the same time, a large number of black lines were found on the ground, forming a magic formation.
"No, we need to stop him!" As the guardian sorcerer of the New York Temple, Kaecilius's face changed drastically after recognizing the formation. He held a battle staff and rushed toward Dormammu.
However...
Boom!
Kaecilius swung his magic weapon, the battle staff, trying to strike Dormammu hard, but less than a meter away from Dormammu, a protective shield glowing with black light quietly appeared.
With a bang, it resisted Kaecilius's attack.
Dormammu inside didn't care, continuing to absorb the power of the dragon bone, chanting at the same time, and sacrificing it to his main body.
"Lockhart, no! This is a formation to summon the true Dormammu!" Sorcerer Morin, next to him, saw Kaecilius rushing forward and quickly introduced the spell. He then followed to assist Kaecilius in attacking.
Hearing Morin's introduction, Lockhart's heart sank. If Dormammu came to Earth, it would definitely be a huge disaster.
Thinking quickly, Lockhart ran toward the defensive shield.
He waved his magic wand and took out a machine from his space-extension bag.
At the same time, he spoke quickly to Kaecilius and Morin: "Kaecilius, Morin, leave quickly."
Then, to prevent any information from being leaked, Lockhart waved his wand and sent them both a message.
After receiving the message, the two left quickly.
Seeing this, Lockhart looked regretfully at the magic jammer in front of him, made purely of Uru metal.
Thoughts flashing, Lockhart pressed the red button in the middle.
Immediately, a ripple invisible to the naked eye began to spread rapidly around.
Lockhart, being closest, instantly felt the magic in his body becoming chaotic and uncontrollable.
The same happened to Kaecilius and Morin nearby.
The basilisk behind them twisted its body uncomfortably, as if a human had lost both hands.
The black defensive shield in front of Lockhart began to flicker, as though it was being interfered with by a powerful force.
Soon, as the magic jammer began to heat up, the defensive shield disappeared.
Dormammu inside felt the magic in his body being intensely disrupted, and his expression changed.
Just as he was about to use his powerful mental abilities to suppress the chaotic magic inside him...
He suddenly noticed a ball with flashing red dots that had appeared next to him. He reacted.
Then...
Zhi! Zhi! Zhi!
The ball exploded, and a large amount of black liquid spewed out, spraying directly on Dormammu's physical carrier.
Ah!
Almost instantly, Dormammu found his body rapidly eroding from the black liquid, turning black at a speed visible to the naked eye.
A large amount of toxins appeared inside his body, severely damaging the dark magic within.
At this moment, Lockhart, Kaecilius, and Morin quickly retreated, afraid of being contaminated by even a drop of the basilisk's venom.
The bomb just now was actually a venom bomb Lockhart had specially developed with Tony.
It was made specifically for situations where magic interference or anti-magic fields occur.
Inside was the venom of the basilisk. Not only did it contain incredibly strong toxins, but it also possessed powerful magic-breaking properties and was corrosive like sulfuric acid.
In Lockhart's eyes, the part of Dormammu's body contaminated with the venom was almost completely eroded, leaving only pieces of pitch-black bone.
This was Lockhart's carefully prepared trump card for facing powerful enemies.
First, ban magic, causing the enemy to lose control of their powers, and then apply the basilisk's venom, rendering them unable to defend themselves.
In most cases, once contaminated, the enemy would die on the spot.
It was very clean and neat. As long as the opponent wasn't prepared in advance, there was absolutely no escape from this death move.
However...
Lockhart saw Dormammu, his body mostly skeletal and corroded by poison, look at him and say in a cold tone:
"Ant, you are seeking death!"
