As soon as Dormammu's voice fell, Blaine immediately felt that something was wrong. The sudden activation of his Danger Perception made Blaine feel somewhat at a loss.
However, his body had already leaped into the air, and the arrow was already on the string, leaving him no choice but to fire. This strike would definitely make Dormammu suffer.
However, in the next second, Blaine's face turned pale with shock. Because Dormammu's huge face suddenly disappeared right in front of Blaine. When the trident fell, it struck nothing but empty space.
The moment his attack missed, Blaine entered the Hunter Space without the slightest hesitation.
Only after a while did Blaine dare to come out again. Even when he emerged, he remained extremely vigilant and even activated his energy shield.
No matter what was happening outside, Blaine had to come out. Time passed very quickly inside the Hunter Space. If Blaine stayed inside for even one second, several minutes might pass outside. In those few minutes, if Dormammu became impatient and rushed out to wreak havoc on Earth, Blaine's losses would outweigh his gains.
So, this time, he really could not use the Hunter Space to wear Dormammu down the way he had when he first met him. Blaine was afraid that today, unless it was a matter of life and death, he could not enter the Hunter Space again. Losing this final guarantee made Blaine's mental focus rise by several more levels.
Through the energy shield, Blaine was surprised to discover that the place where he had been standing had already been shattered. All the space there had broken into fragments and turned into ruins. Even the remaining dark energy was so dense that, if not for Blaine's Hawkeye, he might not have been able to see what was in front of him at all.
"Hm?"
"You're not dead yet?"
"You really are like a cockroach."
"Oh, right."
"I almost forgot. You still have that trick where you suddenly disappear."
"Hmph."
"Brat,"
"You won't be able to hide this time."
"Otherwise, the unlucky ones will be the people outside."
Dormammu, who had been about to break through the seal again and head to Earth, suddenly discovered that Blaine was still standing in the same place he had attacked just now. Only then did he remember that when he had first fought Blaine, Blaine had often used this trick to avoid his attacks.
However, Dormammu was no ordinary villain. He was extremely cunning. He directly fired a Dormammu ray toward the exit of the seal, which was also toward the city below Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong.
In other words, if Blaine still entered the Hunter Space, then the people below and the entire city would suffer. But if he did not enter, Blaine would have to resist this attack no matter what.
Although Blaine thought he was not a good person, let alone a superhero, since he had accepted the Ancient One's mission at this moment, he had the responsibility to block Dormammu's ray.
Now that he had made up his mind, Blaine did not dare to hesitate. Holding the Dragon Trident, he moved instantly and arrived directly at the exit. He immediately swung his weapon and stood there, not only to resist this attack, but also to block Dormammu inside the Dark Dimension.
Thinking quickly, Blaine spun the Dragon Trident with both hands. That was right. It was the same move—the move from the Spring and Autumn Saber Technique, and also the move Blaine had used last time to block Dormammu's ray.
The dark ray shot by Dormammu flew rapidly toward Blaine, and the Dragon Trident in Blaine's hand spun faster and faster. Blaine's body, and even the entire exit, were tightly shrouded behind it.
Crack... crack, crack... crack, crack...
In the next second, the corrosive effect of the ray began. Leaving aside the terrifying magical effect that could tear space apart, the sheer force and impact alone were enough to make Blaine suffer greatly.
Sure enough, the moment he came into contact with Dormammu's ray, Blaine felt that power travel into his body along the Dragon Trident. For a moment, Blaine's internal organs felt as if they had been twisted together, and the pain was impossible to describe in words.
Fortunately, after its promotion, the Dragon Trident did not disappoint Blaine's high expectations. Not only did it withstand the blow, it even did so without forming a single crack. That alone was already very impressive.
The same was true for Blaine. The force was diverted away from his internal organs, and the magical corruption was also filtered out by the Dragon Trident. Because of that, Blaine simply stood there without taking even half a step back. However, the expression on his face seemed to tell everyone that the attack just now had been extremely powerful.
"Huh?"
"It actually blocked it."
Seeing this scene, even Dormammu was a little surprised. Other than Blaine, Dormammu knew better than anyone how powerful that ray just now had been. Ever since the last time he had met Blaine, Dormammu had been absorbing dark energy without stopping for even a single day. Therefore, his strength was no longer the same as before.
It was just that he had not expected today to still begin so poorly. First, Blaine had made a feint and returned to the Dark Dimension, and now he had actually blocked his attack.
Dormammu seemed to feel somewhat embarrassed. He opened his mouth, and an even thicker ray flew straight toward Blaine.
"Oh, shit."
On the other side, even though Blaine had taken the attack just now, he still did not feel good. He had not even recovered yet when he saw an even stronger attack rushing toward him again. Blaine could not help but curse inwardly.
Cursing was one thing, but Blaine had no choice but to use the same move again. The Dragon Trident continued to spin rapidly in front of him.
...
Ugh...
At the moment the ray struck the Dragon Trident, Blaine finally could not bear it anymore. Blaine was not made of iron, and it was not as if he felt no pain at all.
As a mouthful of blood overflowed from the corner of Blaine's mouth, the Dragon Trident also stopped spinning. This time, Blaine still forced the attack down. He still did not take even half a step back.
"You've got guts."
Dormammu could no longer sit still. His expression changed, and several more rays shot out again.
"Fuck."
"You really are fucking shameless."
There was no time to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. Blaine was forced into having no other choice. He picked up the Dragon Trident again and went back to work.
This Dormammu, relying on his own strength, was attacking continuously and shamelessly, again and again, each attack stronger than the last. It had to be said that Dormammu could be just as shameless as Blaine...
Boom...
After three consecutive high-intensity attacks, Blaine finally could not hold on anymore.
