The HYDRA, which had originally fallen silent on the ground, suddenly began to grow flesh on its snake heads at a visible speed!
In less than half a minute, each snake body had grown two heads.
Their eyes were blood-red, glaring menacingly at Kaecilius, the enemy who had caused their death once.
It seemed that as soon as Sharlot gave the order, they would immediately pounce on him!
Kaecilius looked at the HYDRA in front of him… no, it should be called an eighteen-headed snake now, and a chill ran down his spine.
Is this still proper magic?
How is this even darker than Dark Magic!
Chop off one head of the HYDRA, and another one grows back?
How, how can I fight this!
If I keep chopping, won't it grow hundreds, even thousands of heads?
The thought of a snake with hundreds of heads appearing before him made Kaecilius's skin crawl.
So, he quickly withdrew the Mirror Dimension space, and conceded.
"Alright, Sharlot, you win.
Quickly take back this HYDRA."
Looking at the two of them returning to the Sorcerer Supreme's Sanctuary in the real World.
Sharlot couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
He had really wanted to witness the different abilities of each HYDRA head, including venom, intense Fire, ice, lightning, skeletal wind, giant rocks, tsunamis, fear, and Chaos—what effect all nine of these abilities would have when simultaneously striking a person.
However.
Judging by Kaecilius's current abilities, he would probably be pulverized, beyond any hope of survival, right?
If that were the case, how could he learn new magic from him?
It seems that the scene of the HYDRA simultaneously unleashing all its abilities would have to wait until his next exorcism.
So, Sharlot put away the HYDRA and said to Kaecilius.
"Master Brother, don't forget what you just told me.
If I won, you would teach me new magic skills."
Kaecilius gave a wry smile.
"Actually, Sorcerer Ancient One had already told me beforehand.
Today was originally for me to guide you in learning new magic.
That's why I've been waiting for you in the Sorcerer Supreme's Sanctuary.
Alright, back to the main topic, Sharlot, what new magic do you want to learn?"
Sharlot pondered for a moment; he already had a clear idea of what type of magic he wanted to learn.
The magic he currently possessed included Hell's Gate, Bone Spike Whip, and Chaos Shield.
In practical combat, these fell into three main categories: summoning, attack, and semi-defense/semi-offense magic.
As for defense, Sharlot wasn't too worried.
After all, he had the cloak of the undead, and the black skulls on it were loyal, capable of transforming in countless ways according to his will.
Just now, they formed dozens of large hands, wrapping around him like a cocoon.
The splashing bone thorns couldn't harm him in the slightest.
Although Kaecilius eventually used the Blade of Space to cut through the black hands, that was only after Sharlot, hearing no more bone thorns splashing outside the cocoon, knew that the opponent had likely dealt with the Bone Spike Whip, and then he voluntarily released his defense.
Normally, no matter how many Blades of Space Kaecilius used, he probably wouldn't be able to break through the defense of those black hands!
Since his defense was maxed out, and he had the HYDRA as a powerful summoning ultimate move.
Therefore, Sharlot wanted to learn two new offensive magic spells.
He explained his needs to Kaecilius.
Kaecilius listened to his analysis and nodded slightly.
Indeed.
Although Sharlot's Bone Spike Whip could be swung and also dispersed like a shower of pear blossoms, at its core, its original energy whip was just a very basic offensive magic.
Within the entire Kamar-Taj, it was a common, run-of-the-mill item.
Sharlot's growth potential was very high, and he would certainly have to deal with more and stronger Dark Creatures in the future.
Therefore, it was time to teach him higher-level offensive magic.
So.
Kaecilius spoke.
"In that case, Sharlot, I shall teach you a new offensive magic spell—
the Vishan Emperor Holy Sword!"
Vishan Emperor Holy Sword?
Hiss—
This is a good one!
Sharlot remembered that in the Avengers 3 movie, Dr. Strange, on Titan, wielded a holy sword of Fire magic, enveloped in the rich White magic energy of Vishanti, and fought Thanos, who was a single cosmic entity, back and forth.
This was enough to show just how powerful this so-called Vishan Emperor Holy Sword was!
It could be said to be a weapon Dr. Strange regularly carried in the later stages, occupying an important position in combat!
Moreover, if an ordinary, common energy whip could be transformed into a Bone Spike Whip, whose power far exceeded it by several levels under the dark magic system's influence.
Then how overpowered would this Vishan Emperor Holy Sword become when transformed into a Dark Magic skill?
Thinking of this, Sharlot couldn't help but get excited.
"Okay, Master Brother!
I want to learn this!"
Kaecilius nodded.
"It's good that you have such an enthusiastic attitude towards learning magic.
However, this location is too narrow and not suitable for casting.
Come with me, we're going to Mount Everest."
Saying that.
He waved his hand and opened a golden Portal.
As soon as the Portal opened.
A powerful skeletal wind, mixed with icy, bone-chilling snow, struck Sharlot like bullets.
For a moment, he was even unable to open his eyes due to the wind.
Feeling the biting cold, Sharlot gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but admire how Dr. Strange, who couldn't even cast a single spell back then, managed to learn the Portal under such bone-chilling conditions.
No wonder this person became the next Sorcerer Supreme in the original plot!
He really did have some tricks up his sleeve!
However... this bone-chilling, bullet-like snow is useless against me!
Sharlot gently patted his cloak, and soon, the cloak of the undead, formed by black skulls, quickly enveloped Sharlot, forming an extremely warm jacket with black skull patterns.
After putting it on, Sharlot felt no cold at all; instead, he was as comfortable and warm as if he were in a sauna.
And so, Sharlot, wearing his skull jacket, casually stepped through the Portal and arrived at Mount Everest.
Kaecilius looked at Sharlot, whose expression was normal, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
He had thought that with Sharlot's strength, mere wind and snow would be nothing to him.
But he hadn't expected Sharlot to handle it so easily!
This truly exceeded his expectations.
Just then, another gust of cold wind blew.
It swept away his jumbled thoughts.
He cleared his throat twice and said.
"Sharlot, let's get down to business.
The so-called Vishan Emperor Holy Sword is formed by the condensed energy of the Vishanti, a trinity of gods.
The energy of the Vishanti is supremely strong and pure, capable of easily slaying any evil spirits or Dark Creatures.
Mere wind and snow are even less of a concern.
Now, I will demonstrate the effect of using the Vishan Emperor Holy Sword."
After speaking, Kaecilius's hand suddenly held a half-person-tall long sword, completely enveloped in sacred flames.
He gripped the Vishan Emperor Holy Sword tightly and swung it fiercely in the air!
With a whoosh!
The flames originally attached to the Vishan Emperor Holy Sword were flung outwards!
Like fireballs, they struck several hundred meters away, creating giant, pitch-black indentations visible to the naked eye.
Each indentation was five meters wide.
Demonstrating the impressive power of the Vishan Emperor Holy Sword.
Looking at the attack effect, which was like a heavenly Fire descending, Sharlot's eyes lit up.
This is the kind of move a mage should have!
Just a casual swing has such an effect?
Learn it, I must learn this magic!
Seeing Sharlot's eyes sparkling with golden stars, revealing his craving for magical knowledge.
Kaecilius smiled, and the slight frustration he had felt from being easily defeated by Sharlot in the Mirror Dimension earlier vanished.
He said to Sharlot.
"Alright, next, let me tell you about learning the Vishan Emperor Holy Sword magic and its application in practical combat..."
Sharlot listened, cross-legged.
His expression was serious.
Soon.
The mechanical voice of the system sounded in his mind.
"Ding!"
"Detected that the host is learning the White magic Vishan Emperor Holy Sword!"
"It has been automatically converted into the Dark Magic fallen angel's nether sword!"
