Just as Blaine wanted to rush to the exit first to prevent Dormammu from slipping away, his Danger Perception suddenly stung again. This was the prelude to Dormammu's attack.
Feeling that Dormammu's sneak attack this time was definitely not simple, Blaine also stopped. He raised his full-body defense to the maximum, and golden light appeared on the surface of his body. It was the Diamond Body, activated to its ultimate level. At the same time, a transparent light shield wrapped around Blaine's body.
That was right. It was the energy shield.
It was not that Blaine was being too cautious, but that Dormammu was too strong. Blaine had to keep his heart in his throat at all times.
Moreover, from the feedback of his Danger Perception, Blaine learned that aside from Dormammu's attack being far from simple, he also sensed Dormammu's aura in every direction around his body.
It seemed that around Blaine's body, whether in front, behind, to the left, to the right, above, or below, there was a Dormammu. And every Dormammu was brewing an energy field that made Blaine's heart palpitate.
Blaine was very familiar with this situation. No, it should be said that Blaine had seen it before, and not long ago.
Yes, just a few weeks—or perhaps a few days—ago, Blaine could not remember the exact time because the time in the Hunter Space had made him a little confused. At that time, the Ancient One had not yet died, and Blaine had proposed sparring with her.
During the battle, the Ancient One had used this move.
That was, transforming into countless avatars, surrounding Blaine's body from every direction, and launching precise strikes.
However, unlike the countless Ancient Ones, this time there seemed to be only six Dormammus. But although the number was smaller, the danger was much greater.
Suddenly, the warning from Danger Perception rose to its highest level, and Blaine knew that Dormammu's attack had arrived.
"Come on."
"As a Bounty Hunter, I've never been afraid of anyone."
Feeling the breath of danger, Blaine said that he was not afraid, but in fact, his body was the best proof of the opposite. He was fully armed, and every defense had been raised to the highest level, just in case of an accident.
Hiss, hiss, hiss...
Crack, crack, crack...
Rumble, rumble, rumble...
Hiss, hiss, hiss...
Suddenly, Blaine only felt as if the sound of poisonous gas leaking came from every direction. Soon, the "poisonous gas" spread within Blaine's field of vision.
In the distance, that dark mass, like a black cloud formed from dark energy, swept over crazily. It seemed as if it intended to submerge Blaine in this sea of dark energy capable of devouring everything.
"Cuckoo, cluck, cluck..."
"Taste my energy legion."
Through the black cloud, Blaine could hear Dormammu's insane laughter.
"Oh, shit."
"This is too perverted."
"We're not even in the same class."
Seeing these waves of energy surging over like black clouds pressing down on a city, Blaine felt somewhat apprehensive. This was just one of Dormammu's methods, and he still could not even see Dormammu himself. What was he supposed to do?
"I don't believe this."
Although Dormammu was very strong, how could Blaine be the kind of person who bullied the weak and feared the strong? The stronger the opponent he encountered, the stronger he became. This was the blood in Blaine's bones.
"Arrows, come."
Blaine flicked his wrist, carrying the Dragon Trident behind his back, and once again held the Elemental Bow in his hand.
Drawing the bow and setting the arrow were completed in one smooth motion. Now that the enemy was attacking, Blaine was not someone who would simply sit still and wait to be killed. Strike first and catch the opponent by surprise—this was Blaine's principle.
Whoosh, whoosh...
Whoosh, whoosh...
In an instant, dozens of arrows, each dragging a long trail behind it, rushed without hesitation into the waves of energy that were about to approach Blaine. Although he had not yet reached the effect of firing ten thousand arrows in a single instant, he could still shoot hundreds of arrows in just one moment.
Just ask, who else on Earth could do that?
Hawkeye?
Too bad.
These were also the arrows Blaine had inscribed while he was on vacation at home. Even if they were not enough, Blaine could immediately continue manufacturing more, forming a constantly operating production system. It could be said that, with the help of the Hunter Dimension, one person was equivalent to a small equipment-processing factory.
Not only that, Blaine did not skimp on the quality of these arrows. Every one of them had magic circles engraved on it and advanced elemental power added to it. Each arrow could reach the power of blasting apart a city. With such a large number, even destroying the entire United States would not be a problem.
However, arrows that powerful, precious, and numerous lost contact with Blaine the very next second after they shot into the dark cloud of energy. Even with Absolute Hit, Blaine could no longer seem to feel their existence.
Were they swallowed? Corroded? Transferred somewhere else? Taken away by hand? Or shot down by something inside?
Blaine had no idea at all.
This thing was too damn evil. Blaine had no idea what was inside it. Even Hawkeye could not penetrate through it. The only thing Blaine could do, it seemed, was guard the only exit. His mental power fully spread out, preventing Dormammu from escaping under the cover of the black cloud.
Since he could not sense the arrows that had gone in, Blaine had no choice but to try every long-range attack he had. But none of them seemed capable of stopping the speed of the black cloud's "Ten-Direction Wave."
In the blink of an eye, together with the exit behind Blaine, Blaine's entire body was enveloped by this dark energy, so dense that it had almost turned into mist.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
The moment the black cloud touched Blaine, Blaine felt its harm. His energy shield was constantly being corroded by these evil energies and continuously consumed. Even from several meters away, Blaine could see white smoke rising from the erosion of the energy shield.
How powerful was this corrosiveness? Compared with this, things like sulfuric acid or aqua regia were weak, right? Even Blaine's Moon Bite could not be said to have such a large-scale corrosive effect.
Moreover, once Blaine was inside it, he immediately felt that his movements seemed to be seriously hindered. It was like being trapped in a quagmire. Not only his limbs, but even his senses had become dull. At present, Blaine could only see within a hundred meters around him. Even if he concentrated, it seemed he could only detect less than five hundred meters.
This was terrifying. Blaine had no idea how large this black cloud, this wave of dark energy, really was.
He did not even know what hidden dangers were lurking inside.
