American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 295 Mission Reward: Black Magic!

Mera walked out of Bruce Wayne's office angrily. The indifference and disdain on her face could not hide her inner anger.

She was eager to find a place to vent her resentment, and suddenly her mind flashed with the image of Xiao Xian, who looked at her with lustful eyes when she arrived at Gotham Bay.

"We need to teach this humble human who doesn't know how to respect the great Atlanteans a lesson." Mera thought to herself. She quickly found a staff member and asked coldly, "Have you seen the little henchman next to Bruce Wayne and Selina?"

The staff member was obviously a little surprised by Mera's momentum, and nodded quickly and replied: "Yes, I know where he is. He is in the rest area now."

A cold light flashed in Mera's eyes, and she smiled slightly: "Take me there."

The staff took Mera through a long corridor and finally stopped in a quiet corner. The staff pointed to the room in front and said, "He is in there."

Mera gently pushed the door open, and the scene in front of her made her slightly stunned. Xiao Xian and Bruce Wayne's wife Selina were sitting on the sofa, each holding a glass of wine in their hands, the two of them were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very intimate.

Mera was stunned by Xiao Xian's relaxed expression and Selina's smile. She didn't expect that this little follower of Bruce Wayne would dare to be so close to his wife.

Mera walked forward without hesitation, stood in front of Xiao Xian, and looked down at him. Xiao Xian looked up at Mera with a hint of doubt and confusion in his eyes. He asked doubtfully, "What's the matter?"

Mera smiled coldly, with a hint of mockery in her eyes, "Were you looking at me very hard just now? How was it? Do you want to take a closer look now?"

Xiao Xian didn't take it seriously, but replied easily: "Sure, you asked me to see it."

Mera's eyes turned cold in an instant, and she said disdainfully: "You really do look at it when I let you look at it." As she said that, she grabbed Xiao Xian's collar and threw him to the ground.

At this time, Selina quickly stood up and walked to Mera, trying to calm her anger, "Queen Mera, please calm down. I don't know how Abin offended you."

Mera looked at Selina coldly, with a hint of contempt in her eyes, "As Bruce Wayne's wife, you are actually having an affair with such a servant. Aren't you afraid that Bruce Wayne will know about this? How dare you come to stop me?"

Selina was a little flustered, but still said calmly, "In fact, Bruce Wayne knows about this."

Mera was stunned when she heard this, and then she seemed to understand something and said coldly, "You dirty humans!" After that, she took out a dagger from her bosom and looked down at Xiao Xian, "Forget it, I don't care about your dirty deeds. But you dare to look at me with disrespect, now it's time for you to pay the price."

After saying that, Mera raised the dagger and cut into Xiao Xian's eyes.

After saying that, Meila stabbed the dagger into Xiao Xian's eyes without hesitation. Blood gushed out instantly, and he screamed and fell to the ground in pain. Meila looked at him coldly, then threw the dagger on the ground and turned to walk out the door.

However, halfway through the walk, she suddenly stopped, frowned slightly, and looked down at a pearl on her waist that was shining with a faint white light. In an instant, her consciousness came to her mind like lightning, "No, this is an illusion."

Mera slowly turned her head and her eyes fell on Xiao Xian. He was still lying in a pool of blood, his hands tightly covering his injured eyes, wailing miserably. Selina stood beside Xiao Xian worriedly, her face full of fear and anxiety.

All this seemed so real, as if she was in reality. However, Mera looked down at the orb on her waist that was glowing with a faint white light, and her heart suddenly brightened. She knew that what she saw was definitely an illusion.

Mera took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and began to chant an ancient spell. Her hands danced in the air, and a soft light emanated from her fingertips. As her spell became faster and faster, the surrounding scene began to distort, as if a layer of mist was dispersing before her eyes.

When she opened her eyes, everything in front of her had changed dramatically. Xiao Xian, who had been lying in a pool of blood, was now sitting calmly on the sofa, still holding the glass of wine in his hand, taking a leisurely sip. Selina leaned in Xiao Xian's arms, with no worry in her eyes, but a hint of teasing and mockery, looking at Mera with a smile on her face.

Mera's eyes were cold. She glanced coldly at the two people in front of her, knowing in her heart that everything that had just happened was just an illusion cast by the other party.

Mera looked at Xiao Xian angrily, her eyes filled with coldness and anger. She said coldly: "Despicable human, a third-rate wizard actually dared to use magic to tease me." Her voice was like the cold wind in the winter, biting and cold.

However, even in anger, Mera's beauty is still hard to ignore. Her tense face, slightly wrinkled brows, and eyes flashing with anger make her particularly attractive. Anger does not reduce her charm, but makes her more beautiful, like a rose blooming in a storm, so beautiful that it is breathtaking.

Although Mera appeared cold and frosty on the surface, she was secretly surprised. Such exquisite illusion magic was rare even in Avales. She didn't expect to encounter such a superb spell on the first day of landing on land. It seemed that the humans on land were not as weak as she imagined, and there were many hidden talents among them.

"It seems that I underestimated you." Mera calmed down, with a trace of scrutiny and vigilance in her eyes. "But, provoking me is the biggest mistake you have made in your life!"

Mera took a deep breath and stared at Xiao Xian coldly. She raised her hands, and the water elements gathered around her, forming a powerful stream of water that rushed straight towards Xiao Xian. However, Xiao Xian just smiled indifferently, and with a slight movement of his fingers, a flashing protective shield appeared in front of him, easily blocking Mera's attack.

Seeing that her magic was easily dissolved, Mera curled the corners of her mouth and sneered, "Something." She then cast a more advanced water magic, and the water turned into a sharp blade, attacking Xiao Xian fiercely.

However, Xiao Xian's protective shield was still as solid as a rock, without any wavering. Xiao Xian and Selina were still sitting on the sofa, drinking wine calmly and looking at Mera with a smile on their faces.

Mera was stunned for a moment, then said confidently: "It seems that I still underestimated you. Then can you block this next one?"

Mera took a dazzling gem from her waist and cast a powerful water magic with the power of the gem. A huge water dragon rushed out of her hand and roared towards Xiao Xian.

But shockingly, Xiao Xian still blocked the attack effortlessly. He stood behind the shield, drinking a little wine with a smile on his face, and occasionally pinched Selina's cheek, as if he was disdainful of Mera's powerful magic.

The confidence on Mera's face finally wavered. She looked at Xiao Xian in shock and said, "How is this possible? How come your magic level is so high?"

Xiao Xian looked at Mera and said calmly: "Maybe it's not that the level of magic I displayed is high, but that your magic level is too low." Xiao Xian's words were not really to belittle Mera. Based on the level that Mera has displayed so far, she is just an apprentice in Kamar-Taj, and an apprentice who is far from becoming a master.

Facing Xiao Xian's teasing, Mera was a little embarrassed and her face turned slightly red, but she still said firmly: "I'm just not used to casting spells on land. If it was in the ocean, the magic just now would be enough to crush you."

Xiao Xian shrugged, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, and said, "Really?"

Mera was even more irritated by his attitude. Anger flamed in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "Next, I will show you the true magical power of the Atlanteans."

Mera took out a crystal shining with green light from her waist, clenched her hands, and began to chant an ancient and complex spell in a low voice. As she chanted, a cold breath filled the air, as if countless dead spirits were whispering.

As she was chanting, Xiao Xian chuckled and said, "What do you think would happen if I attacked you at this time?"

When Meira heard this, her face changed, but she couldn't stop chanting, and could only look at Xiao Xian in fear. A trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she knew that if she interrupted the spell, the summoning would not be completed, and she would be seriously injured by the backlash.

However, Xiao Xian only said this, he was actually still sitting on the sofa, hugging Selina and drinking leisurely, with no intention of taking the opportunity to attack Mera.

Time seemed to be extremely long at this moment, and every second Mera was extremely worried that Xiao Xian would attack her. However, until the long chant was completed, Xiao Xian did not make a move.

Mera looked at Xiao Xian and sneered, "Not attacking while I was chanting was your biggest mistake. Now my magic is complete."

After saying that, Mera roared, and countless undead souls poured out from the green crystal, turning into a dark mass that seemed to devour everything. Her eyes were filled with ecstasy and victory, and she looked at Xiao Xian and said:

"These are the souls of the most outstanding warriors in Atlantis' history. No matter how strong you are, you can't escape unscathed from their attack. Prepare to die! Arrogant human wizard, you will pay the price for your arrogance."

Xiao Xian was still sitting on the sofa, with a smile on his face. He looked at the countless dead souls wrapped in green smoke rushing towards him, with a hint of teasing in his eyes. Selina was still nestled in his arms, seemingly unconcerned about the upcoming battle.

The wailing of the dead souls was as piercing as the cold wind, and the whole room was instantly plunged into a gloomy atmosphere. Mera's laughter was particularly piercing in this gloom, and she seemed to have seen Xiao Xian being torn into pieces by the attacks of the dead souls.

Xiao Xian's magic shield began to crack under the violent attack of these ghosts, and then was torn apart with a loud bang. However, just before these ghosts were about to pounce on Xiao Xian, a cold light flashed in Xiao Xian's eyes.

Then, Xiao Xian used the power of the god of death obtained from Set to suppress the dead souls. In an instant, a powerful pressure of the god of death was released from him, covering the entire room.

Xiao Xian looked at those dead souls and said in a voice as cold as ice: "How dare you!"

Feeling the pressure from the god of death, the ghosts stopped their movements and retreated tremblingly, like cats seeing mice. Their ghosts' eyes flashed with fear, as if they were facing an irresistible existence. After a moment, the ghosts all let out a shrill wail and fled back to the green crystal in panic. The whole room instantly returned to peace.

Meila watched Xiao Xian easily scare away all the ghosts, stepped back in fear, and said to herself: "Who are you?"

Mera understood that only the power of the true God could make these dead souls so frightened. So she looked at Xiao Xian with a hint of doubt in her eyes and asked, "Are you the messenger of God?"

Xiao Xian looked at Mera with a smile, his eyes carrying a hint of teasing and contempt, "The level of this magic is still acceptable. But this is the magic of the dead, right? How did you, an Atlantean, learn the magic of the dead instead of studying water magic?"

When Mera heard this, her expression changed slightly, and she said hesitantly, "This is my secret, I will never tell it."

Xiao Xian looked at Mera who was hesitating, smiled faintly, and said: "Even if you don't tell me, I know that your undead magic must be related to the lost kingdom of Nekros."

When Meila heard this, her face changed. She looked at Xiao Xian in shock and said in a trembling voice, "How did you know?"

This world is full of evil people, and it's not surprising that Mera is somewhat involved with the Lost Kingdom. Xiao Xian has let it go.

At this moment, the long-lost task reminder sounded.

Ding~ Mission: The Lost Kingdom has been triggered!
Mission Name: The Lost Kingdom
Mission Description: King Kodax of Necruz is secretly plotting his resurrection, trying to return to the world and use black magic to rule the world, and you will tell him what times have changed.

Mission requirements: Defeat the resurrected Kodax
Mission Reward: Kodax - Dark Magic

Kodax - Black Magic: A collection of Kodax's knowledge of black magic, which not only contains a large number of black magic spells, but also includes but is not limited to knowledge about coordinates of other worlds such as dimensional worlds and alien worlds, as well as how to trade with powerful beings in them, and Kodax's various experiences.

Xiao Xian was overjoyed when he saw this. He didn't care about Kodax's black magic power. After all, it can be seen from the movie that Kodax's power is just so-so. He transformed himself into a monster without being a human, but still couldn't beat his brother Atalanta.

As a magician, if Strange has the awareness that he is not a human being, let alone Atlanta, even if Poseidon, the god of the sea, comes, he may not be able to defeat Strange, who is not a human being.

However, what Xiao Xian needs are the coordinates of various dimensional worlds, alien worlds, trading methods, and Kodax's various experiences.

Although Xiao Xian has improved his strength through various means such as the system and dimensional space, he still lacks knowledge and experience. If he can obtain Kodax's magic experience, it will greatly make up for Xiao Xian's foundation in this area.
