Heroes of Marvel Chapter 1042: Sanctum Might

Chapter 1042: Sanctum Might

Feeling the overwhelming magical energy filling the entire hall, the pressure on Lin Rui gradually increased. Clearly, upon hearing Lin Rui mention the traitors within their ranks, Rick erupted like a pile of gra.s.s ignited by a spark.

The traitors of the Sorcerers were taboo among them. They would never mention those traitors in normal circ.u.mstances, and outsiders would have no way of knowing about them. So, upon hearing the words “traitors” from Lin Rui, Rick became so angry that he even triggered the magical array within the Sanctum.

Buzzing~

“Rick, calm down, let’s talk slowly!” Lin Rui had to use his internal energy domain to resist the energy suppression from the magical array, frowning and shouting loudly.

Originally, Lin Rui thought that his recent increase in power was quite substantial. At least on Earth, he considered himself quite formidable. Even if he faced Hulk, who once knocked him unconscious with a punch, Lin Rui believed that he could withstand a few rounds with the help of his internal energy domain.

However, under the shroud of the magical array in New York Sanctum, Lin Rui felt that his internal energy domain could not hold on for long.

Huff~ Pū!

In the midst of Lin Rui’s loud shout, his released internal energy domain shattered under the pressure of the magical array after only two seconds. It must be said that Lin Rui underestimated the power of Earth’s Sorcerers.

Of course, the magical array guarding the Sanctum’s interior was undoubtedly extremely powerful.

Huff~

“d.a.m.n it!” Just as the internal energy domain instantly collapsed, Lin Rui muttered and drew out his Beheading Spirit Sword, while a small sphere appeared in his left hand.

Swish!

As the surge of magical energy from the collapsed internal energy domain pressed toward Lin Rui, the Beheading Spirit Sword in his right hand quickly blocked it, while the small sphere in his left hand was ready to be crushed at any moment.

Buzzing! Huff~

Just as the Beheading Spirit Sword in Lin Rui’s raised hand made contact with the surge of magical energy, the immense magical energy that filled the entire Sanctum disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared.

“Huff… That was close!” Feeling the oppressive magical energy that had been weighing on him completely dissipate, Lin Rui took a deep breath and muttered to himself.

While muttering to himself, Lin Rui lowered his raised right hand. Although he still tightly held the Beheading Spirit Sword, his right palm was already sweaty, and his entire right arm trembled involuntarily.

The powerful energy had injured his right arm the moment it disappeared upon contact with the Beheading Spirit Sword.

As Lin Rui retracted the Beheading Spirit Sword, the small sphere he had been holding in his left hand also disappeared.

Uncertain about whether he could withstand the suppression of the magical energy, Lin Rui decisively exchanged for an item from the System Shop that provided permanent magical defense power. However, in the final moment, Lin Rui decided to save this valuable defense item.

Shaking his numbed right arm, Lin Rui looked up at Rick in front of him. Lin Rui still felt lingering fear in his heart at this moment. If the magical energy hadn’t disappeared at the last moment, Lin Rui was worried that he wouldn’t have been able to withstand it, even with the defense item.

“Rick! Can’t you listen to me for a moment longer?” Looking at Rick, whose expression had already calmed down, Lin Rui said helplessly.

Although Lin Rui’s right arm was injured and he had some internal injuries due to the disruption of his internal energy domain, he didn’t get angry because of it. Lin Rui also knew that the betrayal of the sorcerers was definitely a secret unknown to outsiders.

So, when he mentioned the betrayers, Lin Rui had a premonition that Rick would react strongly. However, he didn’t antic.i.p.ate that the other party would directly attack him with the protective magic array of the Sanctum!

Upon hearing Lin Rui’s words, Rick’s gaze visibly fluctuated. Perhaps at this moment, he also realized that his actions just now were indeed too extreme. After all, Lin Rui was someone who had personally received recognition from the Ancient One.

Even if he learned about the betrayers among the Sorcerers, it didn’t seem to be something he couldn’t accept.

Moreover, even the Ancient One had tacitly approved the Earth’s Sorcerer’s a.s.sistance to the Mirage Knight. How could he possibly be a bad person? So, Rick felt somewhat embarra.s.sed deep down, but of course, he couldn’t show it on his face.

“Cough, Mirage Knight, I apologize. Are you certain that you understand the significance of the words ‘betrayers’?” Deliberately ignoring Lin Rui’s injuries, Rick asked with a solemn tone.

“Well, although I definitely don’t understand as much as you do, I still know what those words represent. And, if I didn’t have some power left, wouldn’t you have blasted me to pieces with your magical powers just now?” While answering Rick’s question, Lin Rui also complained.

“Cough… Well, I was too angry just now. After all, betrayers are a taboo word for us. But do you truly understand them?” Awkwardly explaining, Rick continued to inquire. The information about the betrayers was indeed too important.

“Alright, I forgive you. I can actually tell you a few things about them since I managed to utter those words. I must have some information about them,” Lin Rui reluctantly replied to Rick’s questioning.

“Well, if you truly have some information about the betrayers, perhaps you should go and meet the Ancient One. It would be better to explain this directly to the Ancient One,” Rick said with a serious expression upon realizing that Lin Rui didn’t seem to be joking.

If Lin Rui really had some information and details about the betrayers, then this matter was undoubtedly of great importance. Reporting it to the Ancient One as soon as possible would be the most correct course of action.

“Um… Where is the Ancient One now?” Lin Rui asked after being taken aback by Rick’s words.

Originally, Lin Rui mentioned the betrayers to attract the attention of the Ancient One and have another meeting with him.

Lin Rui believed that it would be better to have a face-to-face conversation with the Ancient One to discuss the possible imminent dangers. Rick’s current behavior is undoubtedly aligned with Lin Rui’s plan.

“The Ancient One is currently overseeing the selection of the new Sorcerer Supreme in the Himalayas. The first round of selection has just ended, and now it remains to be seen if those young sorcerers who made it through can continue with the subsequent rounds of selection. Jack was fortunate enough to stand out in the first round and is now undergoing training in the Himalayas,” Rick truthfully replied to Lin Rui’s inquiry.
