New York City, 177A Old Town. A building with mage runes on its roof. Wave after wave, like a wave of heat, is emanating from it. The mana fluctuations then fade until they dissipate.

Legend has it that the founder of Kama Taj was the first Supreme Mage Agamotto, in order to protect the earth from the invasion of other space creatures and from other dimensions. As a result, three powerful temples were built in each of the three places on the earth.

The three sanctuaries complement each other, forming a special magical barrier that keeps out the peeps of evil creatures from the Outlands. The three temple locations are located in London, New York, and Hong Kong. Every few years, in Kama Taj the current generation of Supreme Mages personally select a few powerful mages to guard the three sanctuaries just in case.

Without exception, these Templar Mages were the best of the best, far from being comparable to ordinary mages. One of the temples in New York is 177A in Old Town.

The Templar Master Stanford, who was supposed to be guarding this temple, was long gone, and the entire temple was empty and empty.

With bursts of spatial magic, Mage Strange flew upside down from the New York Temple's teleportation door to Kama Taj. Before he could get up from the ground, there was a bang, and the portal was blown up. Countless rubble fell down the buried passage ahead.

Dust and mud poured down, and Strange took a mud bath.

Strange staggered against the wall to the hall of the main hall, his mind still a little confused. A moment ago, he was still learning some of the secrets of this world from the two mages, Mo Du and Wang.

The next moment Kama Taj's alarm bell rang, and one of the three doors leading to the temple in the depths of the library was opened, and a mage he had never seen before was casting a spell he had never seen before.

The king and Mordo tried to stop it, but they were still one step too late, and a huge explosion rose, and then he was blown up here by the aftermath.

Strange shook his buzzing brain and began to look at his position. According to what the king just said, this is the temple?

Someone is trying to carry out some dangerous activity, and it is very unpleasant, and it seems that he has been drawn into some mysterious war.

Originally, he had just come to heal his hands and get back to his old life. I don't want to be involved in this mess at all.

Now that my hands are healed, I want to quit but it's still a step too late.

What to do? Strange was confused.

An object in the temple hall catches Strange's attention.

Phone.

By the way, this is New York. He remembered what Jerf had said to him before leaving, so he quickly picked up the phone and dialed the number.

After hanging up, Strange let out a long breath. If he is amnestied, his body will be much lighter.

Jelf told him that he would be there soon.

Only then did he notice the anomaly of the temple, and it stands to reason that the temple mages stationed here should have noticed such a big movement just now.

But now it was quiet, as if he was alone.

The fluctuation outside the main gate caught Strange's attention. I tiptoed over.

There were four more mages at the gate, and three white mages in the same costume were approaching a black mage with a swarthy iron bar.

At swords' points!

The terrifying mana fluctuations and surging magic emitted by the four of them could be felt from far away Strange.

Swallowing his saliva, Strange began to tense.

If his eyes were not wrong, the man led by the white mage Fang was the one who unleashed the powerful spell in the London Temple.

If I remember correctly, Master Mordo called him Ka... Casillas, yes, Casillas.

He's certainly not going to be a good thing here.

"Mage Daniel, they actually made you a Templar Mage here." Kaslas seemed to know the black mage.

It turned out that this black mage was the Templar mage of the New York Temple, no wonder he possessed such a huge amount of magical power. But what is the origin of this man called Casillas? Why is the magic in his body even greater than that of a thousand-chosen Templar mage?

Then you should understand that you will die protecting the temple. You can't stop me. ”

The black mage Daniel looked disdainful, and the black, thick and hard big stick in his hand padded in the palm of his hand: "You can try, I won't be defeated by thieves who steal other people's power." ”

"Just like before, you will never be able to defeat me."

"Hehe..."Casillas chuckled, "thief? Stealing power? No, it's not. It was given to us by our Master. ”

"Master Daniel, I'm not who I used to be. I've never been so alive for a moment. You were able to hold on for so long just now just because I felt like I could bring it into our ranks. Surrender, you're a good mage, and I don't want to see you die in vain. ”

Strange noticed that the periphery of his eyes seemed to be covered with a strange layer of crystals, and the purple patches seemed to have some kind of skin freshness.

Strange felt an uncomfortable aura on it.

"Phew." A mouthful of thick phlegm spat at Casillas's feet, Daniel: "Don't be delusional, Dormammu's lackey. ”

Called a lackey by Daniel, Casillas is not annoyed, but has a sense of glory.

Dormammu? Strange looked stunned. It was the third time he had heard the name, the first time in the Book of Cagliostro. The second time was in a conversation with Wang and Mordo.

That is the master of the dark world, as long as the dark space exists for a day, he will not grow old or die, and he is a very terrifying monster. Extract power by devouring space and devouring planets.

I saw Casillas stretch out his hand and shake it in the void, and wipe it with his other hand. A transparent blade appeared in Casillas' hand.

"Good. Let's see the gap between us, Master Daniel. ”

Casillas winked at the two men beside him. The two used the same moves as Casillas to create weapons.

One on the left and one on the right, approached Mage Daniel.

The black, hard tip in Daniel's hand burst with sparks.

To be named a Templar Mage, Daniel's strength is far stronger than many of Kama-Taj's mages. It's a pity that his opponent is a mage who borrowed his power from Dormammu.

Oooo Daniel's stick was heavy and powerful, and Casillas's two men were out of breath.

It gives the illusion that he is actually a warrior.

Kama Taj is a mage with an unusually fierce fighting style, and he will do it if he doesn't accept it. They were more warriors than mages, and their fighting style was similar to that of Gandalf.

All of them are melee combat-based, supplemented by spells.
