Heroes of Marvel

Chapter 1055: Kaecilius

Swish, Swish, Swish!

A dozen golden whips swiftly lashed towards Lin Rui in mid-air from various angles, making him appear like a helpless bird with nowhere to escape and it was as if a cunning hunter was about to capture him.

“Haha! Now it’s getting interesting!” Laughing loudly, Lin Rui shouted while floating in mid-air, surrounded by the approaching golden whips from all sides.

Pū!

Then, Lin Rui quickly stomped on the air beneath his feet, swiftly maneuvering and evading them in mid-air. Having upgraded his lightness technique to an elite level and with a significant increase in his internal energy reserves, Lin Rui had acquired a new special ability: Flight, and it was an incredibly agile one.

Swish, swish, swish!

As Lin Rui maneuvered left and right in mid-air, he not only evaded the attacks but also used his Beheading Spirit Sword to unleash sword energy attacks to cut through the golden whips.

However, every time a whip was severed, it quickly recovered and continued to lash toward Lin Rui. It seemed that Kaecilius intended to teach Lin Rui a harsh lesson this time.

“I’ll handle this guy; you all go to the Sanctum!” While manipulating the golden whips to attack Lin Rui in mid-air, Kaecilius commanded the other renegade sorcerers beside him.

Their objective was to disrupt the Sanctum’s protection in New York. Engaging in a battle here with this inexplicable individual was unwise. Although the Mirror Dimension was enough to isolate this space from the original world, it would eventually be broken if formidable sorcerers from Earth arrived.

Kaecilius wasn’t willing to take risks, as his current power was still insufficient to confront the entire sorcerer lineage of Earth.

“Yes!” Upon hearing Kaecilius’s order, the renegade sorcerers who had been standing by and observing quickly ran towards the central Sanctum to carry out their mission.

“JARVIS, intercept those people!” Lin Rui, entangled by Kaecilius, quickly shouted to JARVIS upon seeing the actions of the renegade sorcerers.

Swish, swish! This chapter is updated by Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

Hearing Lin Rui’s words, the two Iron Man armors that had been standing by sprang into action, launching numerous attacks along the way. Although the standalone version of JARVIS hadn’t analyzed how to deal with these sorcerers with peculiar energy, the two Iron Man armors under his control still had many offensive capabilities yet to be deployed.

Boom!

Soon, JARVIS managed to intercept the four renegade sorcerers who were running towards the Sanctum, using various powerful firepower.

Seeing that JARVIS had successfully stopped the four renegade sorcerers, Lin Rui, who was dealing with the dozen golden whips, breathed a sigh of relief. If their opponents managed to damage the Sanctum, all their efforts would be in vain. Lin Rui then redirected his attention to his immediate adversary.

Pū!

“If I’m not mistaken, you must be Kaecilius, right?” Lin Rui severed two golden whips that had reached him, his gaze fixed on his opponent below, whose head was completely covered by a hood.

Upon hearing Lin Rui’s words, Kaecilius, who was casting a spell, noticeably paused. He silently raised his head, revealing half of his face from within the hood. Kaecilius, with half of his face exposed, stared intensely at Lin Rui in mid-air, his eyes icy and cold.

“It seems you’re not an ordinary fellow. Or perhaps… Iron Man has already allied himself with those hypocrites,” Kaecilius said in a cold and indifferent tone, fixedly gazing at Lin Rui in mid-air.

“Hypocrite? Are you referring to the Ancient One?” Upon hearing Kaecilius’s words, Lin Rui’s eyes flickered as he continued to inquire.

“Hmm? It seems you really know something. But even if you know, so what? Today, I won’t let you stop my plan!” Hearing Lin Rui mention the Ancient One, Kaecilius appeared visibly surprised, but he quickly responded with a cold and harsh tone.

Boom!

After his retort, a powerful aura surged from Kaecilius’s body. Unlike the aura of ordinary practitioners, the aura emanating from Kaecilius carried a hint of something repulsive that made Lin Rui instinctively feel disgusted. It was as if that repulsive presence should not exist in this world.

“It seems you really are Kaecilius.” Sensing the formidable aura emanating from the person before him and that repulsive presence, Lin Rui furrowed his brow and spoke.

As Kaecilius’s own aura surged, Lin Rui felt immense pressure. Although it didn’t compare to the pressure he faced when confronting the Ancient One and Odin, it still gave Lin Rui a dangerous feeling. Unless there were special circumstances, Lin Rui was not a match for Kaecilius!

“Now that you know my identity, you should also know that you are no match for me.” Kaecilius halted his hand seals, and as the golden whips slowly disappeared in mid-air, he gazed calmly at Lin Rui.

“Whether I’m your match or not, we’ll find out after we fight!” Upon hearing Kaecilius’s words, Lin Rui bluntly retorted.

Boom!

In the next moment, a powerful force surged from Lin Rui’s body. Facing the strongest enemy he had ever encountered, a sorcerer with a highly unique combat style, Lin Rui unleashed his own internal energy domain without hesitation.

During his time in the Himalayas, Lin Rui had tested the restraining effect of his internal energy domain on magic. Although it didn’t exert the same intense suppression as it did on other things, it still had an effect. However, if the opponent’s strength far surpassed Lin Rui’s own, perhaps this domain would be of little use.

“Take this!” With his internal energy domain unleashed, Lin Rui’s aura soared, and he shouted loudly as he swung the Beheading Spirit Sword.

Swish!

Without any preparatory motion, Lin Rui directly cleaved a sword energy attack toward Kaecilius through the air. Following the trajectory of the sword qi, Lin Rui’s entire person followed suit, rushing swiftly toward Kaecilius.

Compared to continuous long-range attacks with sword qi, Lin Rui preferred close-quarters combat. After all, the sword energy attack consumed in long-range attacks relied on the energy provided by his internal energy. In close combat, Lin Rui could leverage more of his advantages.

“Hmph! Do you really think I’m one of those fools who haven’t experienced true power?” Seeing the sword qi unleashed by Lin Rui and the figure swiftly approaching from behind it, Kaecilius stood still and disdainfully retorted.

Hummm!

In the next moment, a golden magical portal quickly appeared behind Kaecilius. Unlike other sorcerers who required a certain casting time, Kaecilius seemed capable of creating magical portals with ease.
