Like Blaine, the magic cloak that had been watching from the side was now frantically striking the glass display case that trapped it.
At a certain moment—no, in an instant—the magic cloak slammed forward, shattering one side of the glass, then flew toward Stephen Strange as he fell toward the ground.
This scene not only stunned Kaecilius, but also made Blaine feel like a fool. What the hell? This thing also had an automatic savior function? Was this blood recognition? Why was it so intimate with Stephen Strange?
Originally, Blaine had thought that this glass display case would be smashed by Kaecilius's attack during the fight between Kaecilius and Stephen Strange just now, or that Stephen Strange would accidentally break it and release the magic cloak.
Moreover, the Marvel plot had also unfolded like that. But why had it become the magic cloak smashing the glass by itself to save its master at this time?
Wasn't this ridiculous? Since it could come out, it had deliberately pretended to be trapped in the glass display case. What did it mean? Actor, did it have to put on a show? Didn't that mean the display case just now was only a decoration...
"What the hell?"
"Fortunately, I was kind enough to save you."
"And you still dare to play me..."
"Next time, I'll replace it with tempered glass."
"I'll see how you come out then..."
Looking at the magic cloak that had smashed itself out of the glass display case, Blaine suddenly felt cheated. He could not help muttering a few words to himself.
He continued to look at the magic cloak flying out.
Just as the cloak aimed itself at Stephen Strange, in the next second, Stephen Strange flew up from downstairs wearing the magic cloak.
Not only that, but Stephen Strange also very pretentiously pulled his hands together, summoning a long magical whip. This was the start of his counterattack, the beginning of his road to reversal.
However, only Blaine knew that this was just a superficial phenomenon. Blaine did not need to use the Marvel plot to calculate it. Even common sense told him this was a battle with no chance of winning.
No matter how powerful the magic cloak was, how much it protected its master, or how flexible it was, it was still a magical artifact after all. A powerful magical artifact needed to be in the right hands to exert its proper power.
On the other hand, Stephen Strange was a rookie. If magical ability was calculated according to the Ancient One's level—for example, if the Ancient One had one hundred points—then Stephen Strange had less than ten points, while Kaecilius had at least fifty points to start with. After all, he was the villain who could kill the Ancient One, so his magical energy had to be obvious.
Now, even if Stephen Strange put on the magic cloak, at best, no matter how powerful he became, he could barely reach ten points. Ten points against fifty points—a full fivefold difference.
Stephen Strange was not someone a single magic cloak could make up for.
And the result was just as Blaine saw. Although Stephen Strange had put on the magic cloak, the next battle was still one-sided.
It was just that, with the cloak's magic, Stephen Strange's beating was no longer as embarrassing as before. The magic cloak even directly saved Stephen Strange's life several times.
Stephen Strange was kicked away by Kaecilius again. It took several rolls on the ground before his body, which had kept tumbling, finally stopped.
Looking at Kaecilius, perhaps he also felt that he had played enough and that it was time to deal with Stephen Strange and complete the task. Therefore, after succeeding with one blow, he walked toward Stephen Strange step by step without stopping. This time, Kaecilius might truly be about to kill Stephen Strange.
However, on the beam, Blaine, who was watching this scene, instead showed a meaningful smile. This time, who would be injured and who would die was really not certain.
At that moment, Stephen Strange might have sensed that something was wrong. But when he looked up, he happened to see the two axes and the metal shield beside the moving painting Blaine had mentioned.
Stephen Strange looked at the weapons on the wall in front of him, then at Kaecilius, who was approaching step by step. In his desperation, he seemed to have no choice but to pick up the weapons—that is, the two axes or the shield—to resist for a while.
However, the next second seemed embarrassing. No, Stephen Strange had just gotten up and was ready to rush toward the weapons on the wall, wanting to catch him by surprise. As a result, Stephen Strange had only run two steps when his body suddenly gave a sharp pause, and he almost fell to the ground again.
What happened? It turned out that at the same time Stephen Strange ran over, the magic cloak behind him suddenly turned and flew in the opposite direction.
"What—"
"..."
"Wait..."
"Don't..."
"Quick!!!"
The next scene was even more comical. Seeing that Kaecilius was getting closer and closer, the magic cloak and Stephen Strange seemed to be playing a game of tug-of-war. Stephen Strange also seemed to have been strangled by the throat of fate by the magic cloak, and his voice became incomparably strained.
Stephen Strange and the magic cloak: one went crazy, using both hands and feet as he tried to take down the axe and shield on the wall, while the other, the magic cloak, refused to compromise and still dragged Stephen Strange in the opposite direction.
In the end, human strength still could not defeat the magical power of the artifact. It might also have been that Stephen Strange chose to give up, or that he could not compete with the magic cloak and had run out of strength. In the end, just as Kaecilius raised the weapon in his hand, preparing to launch a fatal strike, the magic cloak finally flew to the opposite side in a flash with Stephen Strange's body.
Following the direction in which the magic cloak flew, Blaine, Stephen Strange, and Kaecilius all saw something on the wall.
Made of metal and shaped like human bones—wasn't it the same metal bone device Blaine had seen before?
In front of the device, Stephen Strange was still somewhat at a loss and still did not know what the magic cloak meant.
In the emergency, the magic cloak seemed to be anxious for Stephen Strange. Without any explanation at all, the hem beneath the cloak floated up and suddenly wrapped around the metal device, taking it down from the wall.
If Stephen Strange still did not understand the meaning of the magic cloak at this time, then he should stop learning magic and simply go home to collect rags. After all, collecting rags did not require brains.
However, he was, after all, the person chosen by the Ancient One. Not only did he have strong learning ability, but his ability to understand was also top-notch.
