Marvel: I'm just the Supreme Master's sidekick.

Chapter 36 Casillas

"What the hell...?"

Qin Wuying tried again and again to drag his heavy legs.

However, just like sinking into a quagmire, the harder you try, the deeper you sink.

"Hahahaha, the Venerable One has arrived! You can just wait to die!"

Although the attack failed, the three surviving dark mages revealed a sickly smile.

Venerable One, what Venerable One?

If the Ancient One were to come, shouldn't they be the ones running away and suffering the consequences?

Qin Wuying looked up, filled with doubt.

A tall, slender man with heavy eyeshadow and an artistic hairstyle stood before me.

The man's calm expression could not conceal the certain longing in his eyes.

"You seem to be special."

The man's tone was relaxed and carefree, as if he were commenting on a painting.

Upon seeing the man, the three men instantly became extremely respectful.

"Your Excellency, welcome."

Huh? Qin Wuying immediately sensed something was wrong.

The current Sorcerer Supreme is the Ancient One, so where did they find this imposter?

Unless he is—

"Casillas..." Qin Wuying squeezed out the name through gritted teeth.

As a gifted mage, Kaecilius has been the focus of attention since he entered Kamar-Taj.

Modu even took him in as his disciple and nurtured him with great care.

But what happened? This guy came into contact with dark magic and never came back.

"Hmph, just like master, like disciple."

"Don't compare me to that stubborn old man who doesn't understand progress!"

"Alright, alright, although I think you're both equally bad."

Qin Wuying let out a cold laugh, which seemed to anger the other party, causing Casillas to roar.

They're really two extremists.

Mordo was obsessed with conservative and traditional things; while Casillas always sought to break the mold.

What I hate most is this kind of binary opposition.

"Humans are greedy creatures; they always want more."

Casillas patted the dust off Qin Wuying's shoulder and began his sermon.

"For so long, we have longed for eternal life, yet we did not know that the answer was right before our eyes."

Needless to say, he was referring to dark energy.

"You think the seemingly righteous Ancient One is actually..."

"I know she draws energy from the dark space to prolong her life."

"How did you know?!"

Casillas was very surprised to hear Qin Wuying steal his lines.

He thought it was a secret only he knew.

As it turns out, someone who hadn't spent many days in Kamar-Taj also knew the inside story.

Casillas secretly pondered that perhaps he could recruit Qin Wuying to his side, which would greatly enhance his fighting strength.

"Since that's the case, you must hate her a lot too, right?"

"Why should I hate her?" Qin Wuying feigned indifference, further provoking Casillas's emotions.

"After all, she kept her immortality a secret from us! While we are destined to face death!"

"So what? What can be done?"

Qin Wuying's completely unreasonable reply made Casillas extremely anxious.

It seems that only by letting Qin Wuying taste the sweetness of dark magic can we persuade him.

Casillas, as if performing magic, gently shook his hands and skillfully moved his fingers.

Two thin, long strands of energy, like silk threads, extended into Qin Wuying's two ears respectively.

Instantly, the life force brought by the dark energy surged into his brain.

Oh, how indescribably wonderful this is!

With his eyes tightly closed, Casillas did everything he could to transmit information to Qin Wuying.

Those messages were full of all sorts of temptations.

"Now do you understand its benefits to humanity?"

"..."

"Um?"

There was no response. Casillas realized something was wrong and opened his eyes to find no one in front of him.

"I'm here..."

A faint voice sounded behind him.

Qin Wuying looked at Casillas, who was still completely unaware of the deception, with an expression that said, "You've finally fallen for it."

"My prison formation... what are you doing?"

"When you transmit dark energy, I figure out its incantation and spell, and easily break it."

This startled Casillas, who retreated several steps.

As one of the top sorcerer students under the Ancient One and Mordo, he considers himself a genius that comes along only once in a century.

How could someone break his magic circle in just a few minutes?

It's unbelievable, unbelievable to the point of being maddening.

"Just who are you?"

"You're not worthy to know."

In the blink of an eye that Casillas was pondering—

The abdomens of all three dark mages were pierced by azure energy swords.

Actually, melee mages are pretty fun, right?

Turning his head, he saw the deaths of his three disciples and Casillas shook his head.

Before he arrived, he had somewhat underestimated Qin Wuying's fighting strength.

He was convinced that as long as he could restrict the opponent's movements, spatial abilities would be rendered useless.

He even fantasized about turning Qin Wuying against him.

As a result, the guy surnamed Qin remained completely unmoved.

Now, Casillas is completely indifferent to the death of his disciple.

Because even more troublesome and difficult obstacles lie ahead.

If he cannot resolve the major threat posed by Qin Wuying, his grand undertaking will likely face even greater difficulties.

"Have you thought it through? Next time we meet, I will kill you."

"You're welcome to try, but remember to bring a hundred men. They won't be enough for me to kill."

Qin Wuying was not afraid of the other party's threat at all, and instead responded with a smile.

Once the leader of the dark mages is dealt with, we'll turn around and make sure that evil Mordo gets his comeuppance.

Seeing that there was nothing more to say, Casillas created a cloud of black smoke around himself.

He then slowly retreated, immersing his entire body in the smoke.

Even the retreat was so fancy.

Qin Wuying shrugged, preparing to withdraw his magic power and go home first.

Wait, is there something important I forgot?

He quickly opened the portal and jumped to the other side.

On a babbling brook stood three men in armor.

Tony Stark, Rod, and Ivan Van Kerk.

The "whip" stands in the very center, lashing out with one whip to the left and one to the right, preventing the other two from getting close.

Iron Man and War Machine's lasers were always unable to break through Whiplash's defenses.

Now, Whiplash had come up with a brilliant idea.

With a powerful swing, he bound Iron Man and War Machine together, then turned the power up to maximum.

"Aaaaaaah!"

"Aaaaaaah!"

The two people were immediately struck by a powerful electric current, screaming in pain.

Seeing their clumsy and dull appearance, Qin Wuying couldn't help but rub his temples in exasperation.

Couldn't my teammates be a little smarter and more decisive?

"Alright, you two idiots, now listen to my instructions, understand?"
