"Fuck!"
Strange was sent flying like a ragdoll, crashing into the ground and getting a mouthful of dirt.
He spat out the dirt with a look of disgust and hurried to stand up.
But before he could, a Ti's Up Bird kicked him away again, sending him tumbling across the ground, his Apocalypse Staff knocked from his hands.
The creature charged in, grabbed Strange by the throat, and lifted him into the air.
The Ti's Up Bird's grip was terrifyingly strong—Strange couldn't breathe.
His face turned red, his eyes rolled back, and it looked like he was about to suffocate.
He had no strength left to cast a spell.
"BANG!"
Just then, a bolt of magical lightning struck the Ti's Up Bird in the head, blasting a hole through it.
Strange fell to the ground, saved.
"Haaahh... haaahhh... haaahhh...!!"
Strange gasped desperately for air, greedily sucking in the fresh oxygen.
"You need to be more careful."
Mordo stepped out from the side, tossing the Apocalypse Staff back to Strange.
Strange didn't catch it properly, and the staff fell onto him, knocking him down.
"Couldn't you be a little gentler...?"
Strange grumbled at Mordo.
Mordo just smiled faintly.
With a flick of his wrist, he lashed out a magical whip, striking and dispersing a nearby Ti's Up Bird's psychic form.
"Hurry and get up. These creatures are crafty and unpredictable. So of our sorcerers have already been killed."
Mordo said gravely.
"If these monsters escape, it'll be a disaster."
Just as Mordo spoke, he spotted a figure dashing through the jungle, trying to make a break for it!
"Damn it! We can't let them get away!"
Mordo was about to chase after it.
"Don't worry, leave it to ."
But Strange had another idea.
He rubbed and rotated his hands together, and with that motion, the surrounding environnt began to shift.
Grass, trees, and the valley itself seed like building blocks, moving according to Strange's will, forming into new, bizarre shapes.
A labyrinth of complex walls erged, sealing off the escape routes.
"The Mirror Dinsion, huh? That's the right choice."
Mordo nodded in approval as he watched.
"Exactly. With this setup, those bird-like freaks aren't going anywhere."
Strange spoke with a hint of pride.
Just as he was about to step forward, a swamp-like hole suddenly opened beneath his feet.
A hand shot out, grabbed Strange, and dragged him into the darkness.
Before Strange could react, the black hole snapped shut behind him.
"Strange!"
Mordo turned around, just in ti to see the black hole vanish, leaving only a dark liquid residue on the ground.
"Shit. That old man... he's still in this dinsion. He's escaped!"
Mordo realized the gravity of the situation, staring tensely at the traces left behind.
"Aaahhhh!!!"
Strange was now in a pitch-black space, free-falling, screaming in terror.
He plumted down, finally crashing into a pool of black liquid with a heavy splash.
"Ughhhaaahhh!!"
The entire space was filled with a stench so foul that Strange couldn't help but vomit, almost retching up his internal organs.
"Damn it... why did I get dragged in here? That old bastard... can't he ever behave?"
Strange muttered in frustration as he looked around, quickly understanding the situation.
"Splashhh!!"
The next second, countless torrents of black, corrosive water surged toward Strange like a tsunami.
Strange quickly conjured a magical shield to protect himself, holding back the flood.
"DIE! DIE!"
The Terrifying Old Man's voice echoed from all directions.
His exact location remained hidden.
But the voice alone made it clear—he held an intense hatred toward Strange, the one who had trapped him here and kept him from escaping.
"Sorry... but I'm not that easy to kill."
Faced with the Terrifying Old Man's murderous intent, Strange replied with a steely determination.
He imdiately cast a spell, slamming his hands outward, creating a fierce storm that split the floodwaters apart.
Frantically, he scanned the surroundings, hoping to find the old man—but there was no sign of him.
Instead, black holes were opening all over the dark space, unleashing compressed balls of black liquid that bombarded Strange like cannonballs.
Strange quickly spun up a magic circle and slamd his hands onto the ground.
A surge of powerful lightning erupted, striking the water balls from all directions.
Each water ball was shattered into countless droplets.
But it wasn't over yet.
The black pool beneath Strange suddenly collapsed, causing him to fall again, deeper and deeper into the abyss.
Waves of black water surged down with him, enveloping him entirely.
Fortunately, Strange knew exactly how corrosive the black water was.
He quickly covered himself in magical energy, forming a protective shield.
"Ssssss!!!"
The black water relentlessly corroded the magical barrier, making a sickening sizzling sound.
Strange was completely surrounded, unable to stop maintaining the shield.
And he was still falling—he didn't know when, or if, he'd ever reach the bottom.
"Well, if you want to play hide-and-seek, then I'll play along. It's the perfect chance to test out my new magic."
Strange's eyes glead with determination as a wicked idea ford in his mind.
"Darker than black, deeper than shadows... rge with my true crimson... the awakening mont has co! Plunge into the realm of pure distortion—manifest!"
"Explosion!"
This was the new magic Strange had earned after defeating the Blood Pool monster—the Explosion spell.
According to the system, its power was imnse.
That's why Strange had never dared to test it in the outside world.
But now, inside the Terrifying Old Man's pocket dinsion, no matter how much destruction he caused, it wouldn't affect the outside world.
It was the perfect opportunity to test the Explosion spell's power—and teach the old man a lesson!
This spell would drain all of his magical energy, and Strange's magic ca from Kamar-Taj's mystical source.
In an instant, he felt his magic being sucked away, leaving him weak and dizzy.
"Shit... this is that powerful?!"
Strange realized the true might of the Explosion spell.
But what ca next would be even more astonishing.
