American Comics: Borrowed Magic By Skill, Why Should I Return It?

Chapter Three: Hexagram Formation! First Borrowing!

Enter the Kamar-Taj Library.

Chu Xiu suddenly felt as if his underwear had been seen through.

Fortunately, this feeling quickly passed.

"That's scanning magic."

"To prevent people from bringing magical tools inside and stealing books from within."

"Your name is Chu Xiu, right?"

"Mordo just used voice transmission magic to tell me about you."

Wong walked out from behind a pillar.

Holding a book in his hands.

"Hello, great magician."

Chu Xiu behaved very politely.

"Just call me Wong."

Wong put down the book in his hands and gestured for Chu Xiu to follow.

They walked side by side.

Heading towards the depths of the library.

"This area is only open to magicians."

"I mean...real magicians."

Wong added, then continued, "But if I'm willing, others can come and take a look too."

They arrived in front of a row of books.

Wong stopped and selected a few.

"The Universe Reconstructed," "Chronicles of Magic," "The Secrets of Agamotto," "The Great Vishanti."

"I recommend you start with these books to understand the secrets of magic and the origins of the Vishanti."

"This will help you establish a magical connection."

When Wong received the voice transmission from Mordo, he didn't believe it at first.

Although magic is highly dependent on ability.

Over the years, Kamar-Taj has accepted countless magic apprentices.

Most of them may never learn more than a few basic spells in their lifetime.

But to fail at the first step...only Chu Xiu!

Wong was very curious.

Just how lacking is his magic ability?

That the great Vishanti would refuse to establish a connection with him?

"What are those books over there?"

Chu Xiu took the books Wong gave him.

But his attention fell on a row of special bookshelves.

The books on these shelves were all locked with chains engraved with magical runes, clearly extraordinary.

"Those are the Ancient One's collection."

Wong glanced at them, not paying much attention.

"Can I take a look?"

Chu Xiu revealed his true purpose.

He came to the library for these books.

"At Kamar-Taj, knowledge is shared, but some things cannot be practiced."

Wong was about to say a bunch of profound words when he suddenly realized.

He looked at Chu Xiu with a strange expression.

"If you want to look, go ahead."

Wong's expression.

It was as if he wanted to write "since you can't practice them anyway" on his face.

Chu Xiu didn't hesitate either.

He immediately put down the book in his hands and started searching.

Just then.

Another magician entered the library.

Wong glanced at Chu Xiu, who was earnestly searching the shelves, and shook his head.

"These books cannot be taken out. You can take your time reading them here."

After saying that.

Wong turned and left.

It wasn't until Wong's figure completely disappeared that Chu Xiu took the first book off the shelf.

"The Book of Kamar-Taj."

Unlocking the chains.

Chu Xiu quickly flipped to the middle of the book and found that a few pages were missing.

"Snap~"

"The method to summon Dormammu is gone."

"I also don't know which stage the timeline of this world has reached."

Chu Xiu felt helpless.

He was too late.

The petty thief from the movie had already joined Dormammu.

The missing pages were precisely the method to summon Dormammu and draw power from the Dark Dimension.

Dormammu was no longer an option.

Chu Xiu could only search for other people's contact information on the bookshelf.

Soon.

A book with a fiery red cover caught Chu Xiu's attention.

"The Book of Hell."

Flipping through the pages of the vintage parchment, there were numerous vivid demon illustrations and accompanying texts.

The book recorded one hell dimension after another.

In the Marvel Universe,

There is not just one Hell!

There's Mephisto's Hell, Lucifer's Hell, and Hela's Netherworld. Chu Xiu was excited to see all of this.

What is this?

These are potential clients!

"If only there was a summoning ritual."

As Chu Xiu spoke, he flipped through the book and a piece of paper floated out from between the pages.

He picked it up and took a look.

On it was a complex hexagram pattern.

Next to it was a line of small text: "Used for Advanced Combat Training - Now Abandoned."

"Hmm?"

After reading the contents on the paper, Chu Xiu flipped to the page that held the paper.

After reading it, he finally understood everything.

The pattern on the paper was a Demon's Call ritual.

In the past, Kamar-Taj used it to summon demons and train their magic apprentices in combat skills.

Later on, this method caused strong dissatisfaction from a big shot in Hell and was ultimately abandoned.

"The training program may be abandoned, but the summoning ritual should still work."

Chu Xiu said.

He decisively put the piece of paper in his pocket.

Then he put the Book of Hell back in its original place and left.

Before leaving the library, he felt that same feeling of being caught with his pants down, but nothing happened.

Obviously, this piece of paper was not on the library's record list.

Wang was still recommending books to other magicians.

He didn't even notice Chu Xiu leaving.

...

Back in his room,

Chu Xiu spread out the piece of paper on the table.

He wasn't sure if the bald Ancient One was constantly monitoring him, but he couldn't worry about that right now.

In a world like Marvel, where "extraterrestrial beings are as common as dogs and super villains are everywhere,"

Without strength,

One cannot survive for long.

Faced with what could be his only opportunity to become stronger, Chu Xiu couldn't give up.

"First, draw a hexagram on the ground, place candles, and then drop a drop of blood in several corners..."

Chu Xiu read through the ritual of summoning demons.

But he didn't rush to take action.

Instead, he opened the Exorcism Encyclopedia in his mind and found a method to banish demons from Hell.

"Is it really that simple?"

There were many methods, and Chu Xiu chose the one at the top of the encyclopedia.

He found an empty space.

Drew a pattern.

Done.

No need for candles or blood, he could even draw the pattern with chalk!

"System, are you sure this thing is reliable?"

Chu Xiu didn't want to summon a demon with Demon's Call and end up unable to deal with it.

[Host, please rest assured, this plan is 100% reliable.]

"Alright."

Once again receiving confirmation from the system,

Chu Xiu no longer hesitated.

After all, even if things went wrong, there would be no threat to his life.

After all, this was Kamar-Taj. If the situation wasn't right, he could just run away. What kind of storm could a small demon from Hell cause?

At most, he would be expelled from Kamar-Taj for the "illegal summoning crime."

He didn't care!

...

Soon,

Chu Xiu finished drawing the exorcism array in the corner.

To ensure that nothing went wrong, he drew two at once.

"Now I can summon."

Chu Xiu drew the hexagram.

Placed the candles.

Lit them.

"I summon you, a demon from Hell... Oh, do I have to write down the name?"

"Forget it..."

"I, Chu Xiu, summon one demon from Hell!"

As Chu Xiu spoke,

He quickly pricked his finger and let the blood drip.

Boom!

The flames of the candles instantly surged.

They turned into a fiery red from Hell.

In the room, a pungent smell of sulfur gradually filled the air.

"Who summons me?"
