No, you don't understand. I found something we can use to fight the Empirikul. It was horrible, I barely got away from it, it was in the cellar and it...

Synopsis for "The Last Days of Magic: Chapter Three"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Doctor Strange (Vol. 4) #8
Doctor Strange and the other magicians of Earth are collecting magical artifacts from around the world that contain the last scraps of magic in them that hasn't yet been destroyed by the Empirikul. A group of the magicians consisting of Strange, the Scarlet Witch, Talisman, and Médico Místico all risk their lives for a magical bone in the abandoned lair of a dragon. They are attacked by the Empirikul's Witchfinder Wolves, which they are surprised to find now shoot lasers from their eyes, but manage to get away. Doctor Strange slices his arm to spill some blood onto a map to show where the next magical object is, and they head out.

Meanwhile in the Sanctum Sanctorum, which has been almost completely razed by the Empirikul, Zelma Stanton hides in the fridge and manages to steal the last book from the Doctor's library before the Empirikul burn it. She is then rescued by Wong, who uses a magical artifact to transport them to the mountains of Tibet. In the mountains, she tells Wong that they have to go back because she has seen something in the Sanctum's cellar that can help them defeat the Empirikul. Wong is appalled that Zelma went into the cellar.

At that moment Strange, still in the car with his friends, realizes with horror that the Empirikul are going to enter his cellar which will release a being made entirely out of pain and suffering.

Synopsis for "The Last Days of Magic: Chapter Four"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Doctor Strange (Vol. 4) #9
People from all over the world who were touched by magic in some way wander to a hidden monastery in Tibet without, pulled by an urge that they don't understand. Doctor Strange's aides, Wong and Zelma Stanton are there, and explain to the people that they are there to take on Doctor Strange's injuries as whenever he uses magic.

Meanwhile in the cellar of the Sanctum Sanctorum, the Imperator confronts Mister Misery, a being made out of pure pain and suffering that has also been taking on the pain Doctor Strange has been inducing on himself by using magic over the years.

In Tibet, Doctor Strange and the rest of the Magicians left on Earth finish collecting the last remaining magic artifacts left in the world and decide that it is time to take one last stand against the Empirikul. On their way to New York City, though, Strange stops at the monastery that Wong and Zelma are at, and realizes what the two have been doing behind his back. He orders all of the people there to leave so that they won't have to pay the price for his magic usage. When Wong protests and tries to stop the Doctor, Strange knocks him unconscious.

The magicians all travel to the Sanctum Sanctorum in New York and begin fighting the Empirikul. Strange himself goes down to the basement joins the battle Mister Misery and the Imperator are fighting against each other.
