They discover the source of her hallucinations, and realize the only way to save her is to kill her and then quickly bring her back to life before her body completely shuts down, which would "reset" her brain.

Strange recovers the lost pages stolen by Kaecilius and realizes that the Eye gives him control of the time itself. He is discovered by Wong and Karl Mordo, who both warn Strange not to disturb the natural law, and they note that misuse of items of such incredible power could cause Strange to become trapped in a time loop forever as a result.
 * Wong and Mordo take Strange to the Sanctum Chamber and reveal Strange the real purpose of the Masters of the Mystic Arts for keeping Dormammu and other mystical evil entities away from Earth.

Strange sees Kaecilius murdering Daniel Drumm, the master of the New York Sanctum.

During the fight, Strange discovers that, due to Dormammu's powers, they are capable to alter the real world being outside the Mirror Dimension, so he creates some whips and shields to protect himself from their attacks. Suddenly, he uses the Rotunda of Gateways to trap one disciple in the desert and the other, Lucian, in the jungle, leaving only himself and Kaecilius to continue fighting throughout the New York Sanctum. They continue the fight and Strange attempts to intimidate Kaecilius with the Brazier of Bom’Galiath, but he does not use how to use it.

Before he could do nothing, Lucian makes it back through and stabs him with a Space Shard, almost killing him.
 * The Cloak of Levitation protects Strange by attacking Lucian and removing the Sling Ring from his hand. Strange uses the Sling Ring to transport himself to Metro-General Hospital where he calls out Christine Palmer so she can tend to his wounds secretly.

 * Duel on the Astral Plane: However, Strange uses his Astral Form to help her, shocking Palmer and leaving her bewildered. Lucian uses his Astral Form to escape from the Cloak of Levitation and uses the portal Strange forgot to close to transport himself to Metro-General.

Strange is able to kill Lucian after being charged with a defibrillator.
 * Strange returns to his body as Palmer finishes her work on his wound. Strange explains that he went to Kamar-Taj in order to heal his wounds but he also learned magic which had allowed him to do what he could now do. Now mostly cured, Strange decides to return to the Sanctum Sanctorum and to continue his fight against the Zealots. Strange shows Palmer the portal he made with his Sling Ring confirming that what he was saying is completely true.
 * Strange arrives at the Sanctum Sanctorum where he meets with the Ancient One and Karl Mordo, discovering that Kaecilius escaped from the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak. Impressed by his actions, the Ancient One names him the new protector of the Sanctum Sanctorum.

 * Mordo and Strange discuss about the Ancient One but they are interrupted by Kaecilius and his Zealots who has arrived again to destroy the Sanctorum.
 * Battle of the Mirror Dimension: Strange drags every of them into the Mirror Dimension so Kaecilius is unable to destroy it.

Mordo and Strange proceed to run away so they can escape locking Kaecilius and his Zealots in the Mirror Dimension forever, but Kaecilius and his group start to chase them. Kaecilius distorts the terrain around them so Strange and Mordo could not escape. The Zealots chase and warp nearby buildings and skyscrapers, causing Strange and Mordo to plummet down the New York City landscape. Kaecilius and the Zealots eventually manage to separate the two before cornering Strange. Fortunately, the Ancient One arrives rescuing Strange and Mordo by warping the dimension herself, confirming the fact that she draws power from the Dark Dimension after the dimension's symbol appears on her forehead. A battle ensues between her and the Zealots led by Kaecilius, where her old student stabs her and pushes her out of the Mirror Dimension and back into the Earth Plane using the Sling Ring, where she falls several stories to her death.

 * A few hours after the surgery began, the Ancient One leaves her physical form and goes out onto a balcony, prompting Doctor Strange's astral form to follow once he realized what she is doing. They both talk and she tells him about the Dark Dimension and why she had drawn her power from there claiming that it was necessary.

However, Kaecilius breaks free and stops Strange from completing the spell, freezing time around them and ensuring that the Dark Dimension would come back despite Strange's best efforts. Kaecillius says that Dormammu's arrival could not be stopped anymore saying that his Dimension is "beyond time". Hearing this, Strange figures out a way to defeat Dormammu and heads to the Dark Dimension where time is irrelevant.
 * Skirmish in the Dark Dimension: Strange arrives at the Dark Dimension and before he confronts Dormammu he uses the Eye of Agamotto to create an unending loop. He tells Dormammu he wants to bargain but the evil entity refuses killing him several times before Strange reveals that the loop he created has put them in a endless cycle for the whole eternity, the only trap Dormammu could not escape from since the Dark Dimension was a place beyond time itself and therefore Dormammu had no power over it. Eventually, Dormammu begins begging Doctor Strange to end the time loop, which he does, on the condition that Dormammu banishes himself and the Zealots from Earth forever.
