Her gaze shifted briefly to the others, then back to him.
The Sorcerer Supreme nodded slightly.
"So, have you really come to see how strong you are against me?" she asked calmly.
Ethan nodded. "Yes. And also to see if I can get a magical artifact from you."
A faint smile appeared on her face.
"Your level is already at the level of a Master. No… it is beyond that. I can see it clearly," she said. "You are naturally eligible to receive one."
Frank blinked. "Magical artifact?"
Clint and Sharon also wondered what it is as Storm said " A weapon with magical abilities or it can also be not a weapon"
" Just any object with magic imbued in it is called Magical Artifact" he said as others nodded.
" Hmm I wonder if there is an Magic bow now" Client mumbled as Sharon was also wondering if she can get a magic weapon.
The Ancient one continued, "However, your magic is different from ours so don't get dissatisfied if you don't get any from here"
Ethan looked at her directly. "I understand. Still, I would like to earn it faster by fighting you."
Clint muttered under his breath, "A magical fight, I wonder what left now, Alien Invasion? No wait that already happened with Asgardian god's"
The Ancient One stepped away from the window. The room suddenly felt heavier, as if the air itself had changed.
"You are confident," she said.
"I am honest," Ethan replied.
She studied him for several seconds and then said, "Then we will fight in the Mirror Dimension."
She moved her hand, and in an instant they were shifted into the Mirror Dimension. The room began to expand unnaturally, stretching outward until it transformed into a massive arena of floating stone platforms and fractured skies.
"Woah, what is this?!" Clint asked, looking around as the world twisted around them.
"It's called the Mirror Dimension. As its name suggests, it has everything from our original world except living things," Storm explained.
"It's a perfect place to fight as you wish without holding back," he said.
Sharon and Frank looked around when they suddenly saw Coulson and Natasha appear beside them, dressed in trainee clothes.
"What is this?" Natasha asked, while Coulson looked around in confusion.
"Since they are your friends, I also teleported them here," the Ancient One said.
Ethan nodded as Coulson and the others began talking among themselves. Meanwhile, Ethan looked around the Mirror Dimension.
'I can easily sense Dark Matter here. She is using the power of Dark Matter to make all this possible,' Ethan thought as he studied the Ancient One carefully.
'But she is not affected by it. She is powerful, but most of her focus is on keeping the Dark Matter in check,' he thought as he understood why she died to Kaecilius in the movie despite being such a powerful Ancient Sorcerer.
"Ready when you are," she said, standing calmly on one side.
Ethan removed his upper coat and loosened his cuffs. He nodded. "I am."
He stepped forward and thrust his hand toward her. Dark green magic formed in a circle beneath him, and several bone spears with glowing green tips shot toward her at high speed.
The Ancient One smiled slightly. She created a portal in front of her. The spears entered it and instantly reappeared from another portal behind Ethan, flying straight back at him.
Ethan did not panic. He twisted his body and slammed his palm downward. A surge of necromantic energy rose from the ground, forming skeletal shields that intercepted the returning spears. The impact shattered bone and sent green sparks across the arena.
The Ancient One stepped forward lightly. With a simple gesture, the arena shifted. The ground beneath Ethan folded upward like a wall, trying to crush him between moving layers of stone.
Ethan raised both hands. Dark green energy wrapped around him like armor. He leapt upward just as the stone walls collided. In midair, he formed a skull-shaped energy construct in his palm and hurled it downward.
The skull exploded on impact, sending a wave of dark fire across the surface.
The Ancient One spun her hands in a circular motion. Golden sigils formed around her, and the wave of dark fire split apart, redirected into the sky.
"You rely heavily on offense," she said calmly.
Ethan landed on a floating platform. "I can do defense too."
He slammed both hands together.
From the cracks of the arena floor, skeletal warriors began to rise. Unlike before, these were not mindless summons. Their armor was detailed, their eyes glowing green with controlled soul energy. They moved in formation and charged.
The Ancient One remained still.
As the skeletal army rushed her, she lifted one finger.
The space between them multiplied. The distance stretched infinitely. The skeletons kept running but never reached her, trapped in distorted space.
Ethan narrowed his eyes.
"Spatial layering," he muttered.
He clenched his fist. The skeletons exploded into green mist, which flowed back toward him and reformed into chains of bone and soul energy.
With a sharp motion, he lashed the chains forward.
This time, instead of attacking her directly, the chains wrapped around the air itself, anchoring reality and stabilizing the warped space. The distance collapsed back to normal.
The chains shot toward her.
She moved smoothly, summoning twin golden energy fans. She sliced through the incoming chains with precise strikes, sparks flying at every contact point.
Ethan extended his hand and invoked power from the Quan Chi template within him.
Dark runes appeared in the air around the Ancient One.
"Netherrealm Bind," Ethan said calmly.
Green energy erupted from the runes, forming a cage of necromantic force around her.
For a brief moment, the cage held.
The Ancient One examined it carefully.
"Interesting structure," she commented.
Golden light flared from her body. The cage cracked and shattered outward in controlled fragments.
Before the energy fully faded, Ethan was already moving.
He vanished in a flash of green light and reappeared behind her, palm glowing with concentrated soul magic. He aimed directly at her back.
She turned without looking.
A golden shield formed behind her automatically. Ethan's palm struck it, and the collision created a shockwave that split the arena platform in half.
The Mirror Dimension reacted violently. Buildings bursted apart.
