Chapter 1081: Steal

Bang!

The heavy magic book landed on the wooden coffee table in front of Stephen Strange with a dull thud, stirring up some fine dust. It was evident that this magic book, locked away on the bookshelf, hadn’t been touched in a long time.

“I was hoping to gain something…” Stephen Strange murmured as he looked at the significantly heavier magic book in front of him, which was obviously thicker than the ones he had seen before.

Then, Strange began to flip through the magic book he had obtained through special means from the library of the stone palace. However, after reading a few pages, Strange suddenly lifted his head and stopped reading further. He felt that this magic book was probably not what he was looking for.

Humming~

Strange quickly waved his hands as he lifted his head. After a slight magical ripple, a faint golden light scattered onto the heavy magic book on the coffee table.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, this weighty magic book, filled with a strong sense of history, actually began flipping its pages as if it were enchanted. Initially, the pages turned slowly, seemingly matching Strange’s browsing speed.

However, as he progressed, having grasped the general content of the book, Strange accelerated the page-turning process. It was perfectly normal for him to flip through more than ten pages in a second, with no golden light flickering in his eyes.

Whoosh, whoosh, pū!

At such a rapid page-turning speed, the magic book with several hundred or even a thousand pages quickly reached the last page before closing itself. Once the book finished its swift journey, Strange gradually lowered his extended hand, and the faint golden glow in his eyes faded away.

“While this book does indeed introduce several powerful magics, it still doesn’t mention how to create the Mirror Dimension…” Strange closed his eyes for two seconds, then reopened them, silently pondering this thought.

“Since it’s not in this book, I’ll switch to another one! I’ll find what I’m looking for sooner or later!” Strange didn’t feel too disappointed that the first magic book didn’t contain what he wanted. Instead, he encouraged himself.

Exhaling deeply, after a brief meditation, Stephen Strange once again extended his hand and traced the pattern of a Magic portal in front of him. This time, his target was still the row of bookshelves storing the forbidden magic books. However, before he reached the second forbidden book of magic, Strange returned the one he had just finished reading.

In this way, under Wang’s watchful eyes, Stephen Strange borrowed one magic book after another from the library of the stone palace, without being discovered. As luck would have it, on the sixth occasion when Strange took out a magic book and quickly skimmed through its pages, the book in front of him, which had been automatically flipping, suddenly stopped. This was because a crucial section of the magic was missing from this book.

“Hmm? Could this be…” Noticing the missing page in the book, Strange muttered curiously to himself.

Then, Strange began to carefully read from the page that hadn’t been torn out at the beginning of the book. After nearly an hour of reading, Strange finally reached the page just before the torn one.

“It’s actually a summoning type of magic… It seems to be a forbidden magic that summons something from another dimensional world…” After thoroughly reading the content around the torn page, Strange spoke to himself with a serious expression.

Ever since Stephen Strange learned about the existence of Sorcerors on Earth, he was no longer the arrogant and exceptionally skilled neurosurgeon he used to be. He gained a deeper understanding of the essence of this world.

Therefore, when he saw that the magic book in front of him contained records of summoning something from other dimensions, Strange instinctively sensed that something was not right.

“The most crucial summoning section has been torn out. Who tore it? What are they planning?” Strange murmured with a deep tone, glancing at the torn page with only a small piece of the edge remaining.

Unable to figure out the reasons, Strange could only shake his head helplessly and close the magic book. At this point, Strange was still unaware of the existence of traitors within the sorcerers.

Ancient One didn’t intend to involve these highly talented and gifted young sorcerers in the events concerning the traitorous sorcerers and Dormammu unless the situation reached a point beyond his control. At that time, the entire sorcerer lineage would need to mobilize.

“Never mind, let’s continue searching for magic related to the Mirror Dimension.” Strange muttered with a furrowed brow as he closed the magic book. He then waved his hand again, sketching a small magical spatial portal.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Returning the magic book with a missing page to its original place, Strange skillfully pulled out another magic book. In this manner, Stephen Strange repeatedly read through forbidden magic books from the library, which he was not yet qualified to access.

The Guardian, Wang, remained unaware of Strange’s actions. Of course, it could also be a deliberate act on Wang’s part to pretend not to know.

During these clandestine endeavors, Strange finally found his target: the magic that could construct the Mirror Dimension. Once he discovered this remarkable magic, Strange wasted no time and immediately began studying it within his own dwelling.

It must be said that Strange was a genius. For ordinary sorcerers, learning the construction of the Mirror Dimension would undoubtedly be extremely challenging, requiring a great deal of experience and a long time to make any progress.

However, by simply following the instructions in the magic book and utilizing the Magic Cube, Strange managed to barely create a spatial barrier after only three attempts.

Humming!

Placing his left hand on the elbow of his right arm and extending his right hand forward with an open palm, Stephen Strange conjured translucent glass-like spatial barriers constructed from the power of space in front of him.

“These are…!” Strange exclaimed in amazement, struggling to control the appearance of these spatial barriers. He sensed something extraordinary within them.

Exhaling, just as Strange had constructed a few spatial barriers, a magical portal suddenly appeared beside him. Then, with a serious expression, Wang rushed out.
