"??? " America wore a bitter expression upon hearing this, "So we're not going to a branch to steal magic books, we're going to steal from the sorcerers' headquarters?"
"Kid, congratulations, you guessed right, but there's no prize~" Ryan patted America on the head, giving her confirmation.
America was on the verge of tears: "Can I not go? Can I just stay here and keep watch for you?"
Ryan didn't even look at the reluctant America, instead activating X-ray vision and looking down at his feet, saying calmly: "Of course not. I made this trip precisely because of you, how can you back down in the face of battle?"
"Alright, there are only three sorcerers on duty down below right now, we need to knock them out before they sound the alarm to Kamar-Taj!"
"Me... Me? I'm going to knock out the sorcerers?" America pointed at herself, and this time she was truly close to crying.
Apart from her uncontrollable crossing ability, she was completely at the level of an ordinary person; what was she going to use to fight the sorcerers, her bare head?!
Ryan glanced at the disappointing-looking America with a look of disgust: "Forget it, you don't need to get your hands dirty. Just follow behind me later and shout '666'!"
America swallowed hard: "Isn't '666' the sign of the devil?"
Ryan grinned: "That's right, given what the sorcerers are about to face next, I am indeed a thorough demon~"
Without waiting for America to react, Ryan shoved open the wooden door to the rooftop.
In an instant, the New York Sanctum was filled with golden runes.
This also meant that the New York Sanctum's passive defensive magic array had been activated.
Now, besides the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj, no one could enter the New York Sanctum.
Looking at the pervasive golden rune wall behind the opened wooden door, America panicked: "Have we been discovered? How do we get in now?"
"Naturally, by using magic~" Ryan said it as a matter of course.
America asked doubtfully: "But didn't you say you don't know magic?"
Ryan raised his own fist: "Actually, I do know one kind of magic: brute-force magic!"
As soon as he spoke, Ryan punched fiercely toward the magic barrier!
Thud!!!
A punch accompanied by a sonic boom landed on the magic barrier, causing the entire magic barrier to ripple like Water waves, and causing these ripples to rapidly spread across the entire New York Sanctum!
That is to say, Ryan's punch forced the magic barrier of the entire New York Sanctum to share the stress together, barely managing to withstand this punch of his!
But even so, the originally brilliant magic luster at this moment had dimmed by more than double!
It was just like your Apple phone under the blazing Sun, with that rapidly decreasing screen brightness!
"Hmm, this magic is even sturdier than I imagined~"
Ryan exclaimed in admiration, then raised his hand again, this time forming it into a blade shape.
Then... falling rapidly!
Snap————
Amidst a crisp sound, Ryan's entire palm pierced into the magic barrier.
Then, applying force with his right arm inserted into the magic barrier, Ryan actually forcefully ripped the magic barrier from a small crack, tearing it all the way from his fingers to his elbow like tearing a hangnail at the edge of a fingernail!
Until it was enough to accommodate a person passing through.
"OK, done, America, keep up!"
Saying this, Ryan stepped directly into the crack of the magic barrier.
America was completely dumbfounded at this moment: "Is this what you call brute-force magic? And aren't we infiltrating? Is it really okay for you to be this high-profile?"
"Brute force breaks all magic, haven't you heard of that? Besides, taking care of all the people, isn't that just infiltration?"
Ryan answered righteously, then grabbed America, who had uttered the triple soul questions, and pulled her in.
Now, she was an intruder too.
"You two intruders, stay where you are and don't move!"
At this moment, three sorcerers ran up, holding magical artifacts pointing at Ryan and America.
Ryan turned around, smiling slightly: "I'm afraid that won't do, sorcerers, we are here to 'borrow' something~"
The three sorcerers exchanged glances; two of them cast magic whips, fiercely lashing towards Ryan and America, wanting to tie the two up first.
But if Ryan could be easily tied up, then he wouldn't be Spider-Man.
He just casually sidestepped, narrowly dodging the magic whip curling toward him, and kicked America in the rear with one foot, making her tumble sideways so that she dodged it together with him.
"Like playing bondage? Coincidentally, I also know a hundred million points of it~"
Ryan crossed his hands and whipped them outward fiercely, and two strands of White Silk shot out, striking the two sorcerers with a speed countless times faster than the magic whips, tying them up!
Even the huge impact force brought by the Silk not only tied them up, but also blew them backward flying, crashing into the wall and passing out.
Seeing that he was no match, the last remaining sorcerer immediately wanted to cast magic to ask Kamar-Taj for reinforcements.
But just as he raised his hand, he was met face-on by a huge web covering him, pasting him onto the wall in a ' too'-shaped posture!
"You can't..."
"Achoo~"
Ryan walked over to the sorcerer who was stuck by the web and still wanted to verbally stop them, sneezed, and a strand of Silk 'accidentally' shot out, precisely sealing his mouth and interrupting the words he was about to speak.
"Sorry, the wind in New York is a bit strong recently, caught a cold while swinging on Silk, what was it you wanted to say I couldn't do?"
Ryan blinked his eyes, looking at the sorcerer whose mouth was sealed with Silk.
To this, the sorcerer's reply was: "Mmm mmm mmm..."
"The Silk will automatically dissolve in two hours, you can take the opportunity to sleep for a bit. Consider it a vacation I'm giving you, this doesn't count as being absent from work~"
After blinking at the sorcerer, Ryan leisurely walked past him.
"Sorry sorry sorry!"
America also bit the bullet and walked quickly past the sorcerers on the wall, apologizing to the three trapped sorcerers as she walked.
Without the obstruction of the sorcerers guarding the sanctum, Ryan familiarly led America to the fixed portal present in every sanctum.
"You're not even a sorcerer, how come you're so familiar with this place? Have you been here before?" America followed behind Ryan, asking curiously.
Ryan shook his head slightly: "No, I've never been to the Sanctum and Kamar-Taj. I only knew these places existed, yet I feel so familiar with everything here, as if I had been here a long time ago..."
America was stunned: "Why?"
Ryan turned his head to look at America, his gaze complex: "I once lost a memory, a memory locked away by my brain's self-protection mechanism, and I have a hunch that the answer to finding it is not in this Universe."
"So this is also why I'm helping you; I need to borrow your power to find my own Universe!"
