O Grave Where is Thy Victory?
While searching for Clea, Doctor Strange comes into combat with members of the Sons of Satannish, however his initial battle against them turns up no leads. Meanwhile, Asmodeus manipulates Clea into doing their bidding, ordering her to return to Doctor Strange's Sanctum, murder Doctor Strange and steal the Book of Vishanti from him.
When Clea returns, Doctor Strange casts a spell to learn what the Sons are up to, and allows Clea to take the book so that he can follow her to the Sons' base. There, Doctor Strange battles Asmodeus, however Asmodeus is able to overpower Strange with his Crystal of Conquest, and relinquish not only the Book of Vishanti, but Strange's Cloak of Levitation and the Eye of Agamotto before ordering them to death.
