Kaecilius couldn't hold it in anymore.
The reason he had sought Karl out was, honestly, pretty malicious.
He wanted to secretly teach Karl dark magic.
Later on, Karl would naturally be at his mercy.
Kaecilius was a Master Sorcerer; Karl was just a small-time sorcerer. Tell me—who would the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj believe?
No matter how Karl explained himself, nobody would believe him.
When the time came, Karl would have no choice but to be like him and embrace the great Dormammu's embrace.
But what Kaecilius hadn't expected was—
Before he even had the chance to tamper with anything…
This brat had already learned the spell!
That caught Kaecilius completely off guard.
How could he have imagined this kid was this freakish?!
Kaecilius fell silent for a long time.
This was his personal secret art: the Spatial Blade.
It was also a form of magic derived from the Mirror Dimension.
It possessed an incomparably sharp cutting property.
And the learning difficulty was absurdly high.
Think about it.
Peeling off a fragment of space, turning it into your own weapon, and not injuring yourself in the process—
How difficult was that?
You needed ultimate control over spatial power.
It could be said that, within Kamar-Taj, this was definitely one of the harder spells to learn.
And yet now…
Karl had learned it just by taking a single look?
Was there any justice left in the world?!
Kaecilius sucked in a cold breath and said, "Use it again. Let me see."
Karl didn't say anything.
With a flick of his hand—
A transparent blade appeared in Karl's hand.
Though it was semi-transparent, the existence of the blade was still clearly visible.
Its aura was completely restrained—there was no outward fluctuation at all—yet it carried a terrifying sharpness.
Karl reached out and thrust forward.
Shk!
A barely audible sound rang out.
In front of Karl, a mountain peak about a hundred meters tall was cut open silently.
Half of the mountain slid down to one side without a sound.
The cut surface was smooth as a mirror.
Kaecilius's mouth twitched.
This kind of power…
Wasn't much different from when he used it himself.
That power was indeed the Spatial Blade.
This kid… he really learned this advanced spell with just one glance?
Was this kid even human?
He was a monster!
Kaecilius couldn't stop his lips from twitching.
Didn't that mean all his plans had fallen through?
Wasn't this "losing the wife and the soldiers"—a total loss?!
No.
He couldn't let this continue.
He refused to believe this kid was really that freakish.
Kaecilius took a deep breath.
"Not bad. Not bad~"
"I didn't expect your talent to be even better than I thought."
"With this, I'm even more confident about defeating Mordo-san."
A smile appeared on Kaecilius's face.
But…
That smile looked extremely forced.
A moment later, Kaecilius calmed down and said, "But if you want to beat Mordo-san, relying on just this one spell won't be enough."
"How about this—I'll teach you another spell."
Kaecilius spoke again.
Inside, Kaecilius steeled himself.
He didn't believe it!
Was this guy really so talented that he could learn any spell just by seeing it once?
Kaecilius decided—
This time he would teach a more complex spell, and do it more slowly.
He refused to believe it.
Could this brat still learn it in a single try again?
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Kaecilius hardened his resolve.
This time, he would definitely trap this brat!
This spell was unbelievably complex, and it even mixed in the power of a god-like being—there was no way it could be learned that quickly!
He would have plenty of time to rig it from the inside.
As long as he slightly altered the energy structure, he could make dark energy seep into the spell.
At the same time, it would make the spell contain dark magic.
When that happened, his objective would naturally be achieved.
"Watch closely. I'll demonstrate it again."
After saying that, Kaecilius didn't even wait for Karl to react—he snapped his wrist and directly threw out three spells.
He swept both hands across each other.
A massive Spatial Blade formed.
This blade looked like the double-bladed sword in Thanos's hands, except it was transparent.
Both sides gleamed with a pale white sheen.
And the edge aura it emitted was terrifyingly strong.
Karl could even feel an intensely sharp presence coming off it.
The skin on his face stung slightly.
That alone showed how frightening this spell's power was.
"This is the superior form of the Spatial Blade—Vishanti's Severing-Void Blade."
"This is also one of my personal secret arts."
"Try it. See if you can use it."
Kaecilius spoke with pride.
At the same time, he was smug inside—use it? As if.
He refused to believe this brat could still learn it at a glance.
This was a spell mixed with god-like power.
In the whole of Kamar-Taj, how many people could learn it?
Kaecilius almost wanted to laugh triumphantly a couple of times.
[Ding!]
[Detected the host is observing a god-demon spell—Vishanti's Severing-Void Blade. God-tier talent triggers a hundredfold critical strike.]
[You have mastered Vishanti's Severing-Void Blade.]
The system notification sounded.
Karl felt his head swell.
A massive amount of knowledge poured into his mind.
This was a spell even stronger than the Spatial Blade.
The Spatial Blade was a single fragment of space—whereas the Severing-Void Blade contained two dimensions within it.
How powerful it was… went without saying.
Even for Karl, using this spell required real expenditure of power.
His formidable mental force surged.
He reached out and swept his hand.
A weapon shaped like Thanos's double-bladed sword appeared in his hand.
On its blade, powerful force rippled—like the cutting edge of a plasma weapon.
This was power that belonged to the great Vishanti.
The smile on Kaecilius's face instantly froze.
At that moment…
His face looked like it was wearing a fake mask.
Anyone could see how badly he'd lost control.
And in fact, that was exactly the case.
What the hell was going on?!
This was a spell that contained god-like power—and this brat could learn it with one glance too?
Was this some kind of joke?!
Kaecilius's heart surged with stormy waves, like he was staring at a monster.
This was too outrageous! Too outrageous!
Not to mention the god-like power mixed into it—even the Severing-Void Blade itself was extremely complex.
You had to compress a small, sub-dimensional pocket!
Capturing a small sub-dimensional pocket was incredibly time-consuming.
So this absolutely wasn't something an ordinary person could learn in a short time.
Kaecilius had chosen this spell precisely because it was time-consuming.
But this brat…
How did he learn it in such a short time?
Was he still human?
Kaecilius fell silent.
