The one who faced Stephen Strange right now was a normal looking man.
And even though his appearance looked normal, Strange could feel that. He was very strong and dangerous.
This normal looking man, his name was Regulus Corneas.
He was actually the Sin Archbishop of Greed.
He was a major antagonist in the Re:Zero series. He represented the sin of greed and was very powerful.
"Who are you? And what do you want to do with my disciple?"
Strange asked him but didn't answer at all. He was checking his power if it worked properly or not.
Regulus had come here after he heard about Emilia from someone in the sin archbishop of greed group.
And when he came to check. He instantly wanted Emilia for himself.
He tried to bring her with him but the mage that was with her did something to him.
"How can you stop my power?"
Regulus had used his authority of greed, Lion's heart.
Lion's Heart was a defensive ability that allowed Regulus to freeze his heart's time, stopping his heartbeat and granting him a temporary state of invincibility.
While active, Regulus became completely cut off from the world's flow of time, becoming a walking anomaly.
He didn't need to eat, drink, breathe, or perform basic human functions like sweating or excreting bodily waste.
He could also ignore physical laws, allowing him to move at inhuman speeds, seemingly teleport, and defy gravity.
However, when he came near the mage, His authority was interrupted by an unknown force. It forced him to stop using his authority otherwise, he might be caged outside the flow of time forever.
And that was something that was even more scary than dying.
"I don't know, and even if I know why should I tell you?"
Strange looked at Regulus and checked his Parameters. And he found the reason why he felt that this normal looking man was dangerous.

'I can never win in a confrontal fight…'
Strange felt the need to do something.
This man had come to kidnap Emilia for sure. And If he successfully kidnapped her. He didn't know what he would do to her.
"Step aside, I have come to bring my wife back."
"Your wife?"
Strange was confused. He had never heard that Emilia had a husband before.
She even looked like having a huge crush on the adopted son of the genius playboy.
He looked at Regulus again and found his appearance to be so average and unremarkable, Neither attractive nor unattractive.
"Who do you mean your wife?"
"Her, she is my wife."
Regulus pointed toward Emilia's office.
"Since when?"
"Since she was born!"
Regulus said it like it was an obvious thing. Strange couldn't find any word to describe him except for weirdo.
Regulus didn't want to speak with Strange anymore.
"I will bring my wife back with me."
He disappeared before Strange's eyes.
"Shit! I can't even see his movement."
Strange flew to Emilia's office. He was sure that Regulus would definitely head that way. His target was Emilia after all.
Inside the office.
She was still confused. She didn't understand what had happened before. The next thing she knew, Strange had disappeared.
"Where did the teacher go? He was still here a moment ago."
As Emilia looked around the office.
Suddenly, Regulus appeared before her eyes.
She was startled and ready to fight.
"Who are you? How did you get in here?"
Regulus looked at Emilia from head to toe and he nodded with satisfaction.
"I came here to take you away from here, my wife."
"Your wife? I'm not your wife."
Emilia felt threatened and she tried to call Puck, but Regulus wouldn't let her do that. He stopped her time.
"This is for your own good."
Regulus felt happy that he would be married to such a pure and innocent wife.
And as he was about to bring Emilia with him.
A portal appeared behind him and then he felt someone pulled him inside of it before the portal closed.
The portal was actually connected to the other dimension.
Strange used the newly created Mirror Dimension and threw him inside.
Strange was initially unable to use the Mirror Dimension, but now that he had learned the magic of this world, he could adapt.
"Teacher, what's going on?"
Emilia was released from Regulus's authority. She was very worried. She looked left and right, and when she saw Strange and that scary man wasn't around, she felt relieved.
"Don't worry about it. I have sent him to another dimension. He won't be able to come here again. Maybe…"
Strange let out a sigh.
Luckily, he took the opportunity when the weirdo was paying too much attention to Emilia and ignored everything else.
He sent him to another dimension just in time.
If he hadn't been careless, Strange wouldn't have been able to protect Emilia.
"So it's already over?"
Beatrice arrived at the office and found that the one who had her master scent had gone.
"Yes, it is fortunate that he is careless. Otherwise, I might not be able to protect her."
Strange looked at the small girl. He could also feel that this small girl was dangerous. She might even be more dangerous than the weirdo.
He tried to check her parameters but Beatrice looked at him with a dangerous expression.
"I don't know what you are doing, but I suggest you stop it."
Strange nodded his head and he even sweated a little.
'What the hell is going on in this world? Why are there so many hidden dangers… I need to be more careful from now on.'
Strange could not let his guard down. Otherwise, he might meet his downfall here.
…
Arthur returned to the 1st floor with everyone and then he led them toward the mansion.
Everything seemed to be very peaceful now.
"So this is the new world."
Azula felt the shift in the fire element. She felt that bending fire here might be more difficult than when she was in her original world.
"You can't bend elements here easily because there are so many elemental spirits in the living world. Unlike your world where the living world and spirit world are separate."
Arthur explained to her. In this world using magic was more convenient.
Everyworld has its own rules and principles.
"Is that the mansion we are going to be staying in for a while?"
Ty Lee pointed toward the big mansion from far away. She felt very excited. The new world's thing ignited her adventurous self.
"Can you stop being too excited Ty Lee…"
Mai sighed. She thought of not coming here with them but when she thought about it more carefully. There was nothing that tied her there anymore.
So why not try to start a new life in a new world?
She also heard that in Arthur's world. Women and Men were equal. She didn't want to be just a flower on the wall anymore.
"You know that I can't Mai. You are the same both as us right now. Do you still remember what we promised to each other when we were young?"
Mai felt uncomfortable when she heard that.
"You are the only one who remembers it."
"Nope, Azula also remembers it!"
Mai looked toward Azula and she just smirked at her. Mai felt embarrassed for the first time in a long while.
She looked at Arthur who acted like he didn't hear anything.
"Jerk…"
She pouted and then looked away. She was sure that she was also as beautiful as Azula and Ty Lee but Arthur didn't pay any attention to her at all.
Even Toph got his attention.
'Should I be more active?'
Mai didn't see any bad side when it came to sharing a man with her friends. It should be even easier to manage her life.
