At the Martial Arts Training Ground, Kamar-Taj
This is the 5th match that I have to use Mystic Arts, summoning swords, whips, and fans to fight against opponents who all want to crush and defeat me, who is annoying disciple in their opinion
But I can easily block the attacks and seal the other party's movements with the Seraphim's Shield to end it every time.
'It's a pity that I have to hide the power of the Ope Ope fruit, otherwise I would be able to prank these jealous people and make them have nightmares like those other dimensions, moving their noses from their faces to test the smell of the food they eat, that it has been digested in the stomach and absorbed nutrients in the small intestines. And absorb water from the large intestine, what will the smell be like? Hehehehe'
I thought to myself, while squeezing the space in the Seraphim Shield tighter and tighter on the target.
"No, no, no, I can't lose to this new kid!" The former Taoist priest with 6 black ink dots on his bald head shouted loudly, while trying to use the Chinese priest's staff, which had a shovel with 6 rings on the top and a crescent moon at the end, to try to crack and break the Seraphim Shield, but it didn't budge at all.
"Give up, Senior Brother YueYi. Even Master Wong took 5 minutes to destroy Strange's Seraphim Shield."
"Yes, if you don't give up now, it will be even more humiliating to be squeezed and defeated, Senior Brother!!"
YueYi's junior disciples shouted in unison. I shook my head in exhaustion at this Chinese drama scene, where a junior disciple challenged me. After losing, that guy went to complain and call his friends over. Then, the five sworn brothers challenged me one after another, but they all lost.
"Ugh… Okay, I give up. But only for now! In the future, the five disciples of the Yi family will come to take revenge on you!"
"Oh, okay, whatever makes you happy." I nodded perfunctorily before untying the Seraphim shield and turned to ask Master Mordo, who was watching the competition, for permission.
"Master Mordo, I'm going to study a new spell."
"Which spell do you want to learn?" He asked with a slightly irritated tone, but his eyes seemed to accept me more. Of course, from the history of Kamar-Taj, I was the first person to learn the Dao Mandala, creating a strong Seraphim shield after learning it in 1 day. According to the latest statistics, even Ancient One took 7 days to master it to the level I've shown now.
But deep down, Mordo still wasn't happy or pleased with me, which was easy to understand. It was like he was running a race, approaching the finish line. To be the next highest mage on the track where everyone starts at the same starting point,
but who am I?
Where did I come from?
Just riding horse and running past he like crazy!
It's against the rules, break the law , against the traditions to the max.
"I haven't decided yet...let me try it out first," I replied. He nodded before suggesting that I study more binding spells. Because the Seraphim Shield was originally a self-defense spell. Using it as a cage to trap enemies, even though it's a good idea, a great application, but its effectiveness in binding enemies is nothing compared to spells that were created specifically for arrest.
"If we were to compare it in numbers, the Seraphim Shield has the ability to trap enemies at 50-60%, but other real binding spells are at 80-100%."
"Thank you for the tip," I bowed to him before walking out of the arena, heading to the library where Master Wong, the librarian, was sitting and taking notes on the table in front of the library as usual.
"Strange... what more spells do you want to learn?" He asked without looking up. His senses seem to be sharp enough, comparable to a good Hati user. But I think he should use the method of detecting magic waves rather than using his psychic sense like people in the One Piece world.
"Master Mordo suggested that I learn the true binding spell."
"I agree. The Seraphim Shield was not born to imprison enemies, but to protect himself and his comrades. Using the wrong spell, it will not be able to show its effectiveness by 80%." Master Wong looked up, then waved his right hand, opened a dimensional door, used the golden yellow Mystic Whip, pulled out a book almost 2 rulers thick, with a red-brown cover, then used the spell to control objects to float in mid-air, sending it to him.
"It's so thick... Just one spell, you have to read a book this thick?" I took it and held it, before trying to estimate its weight. "I think it's 5 kilograms. Is this a book or rice?"
"Huh? Rice... Rice nutritious for the body. Books also nourish the brain." Master Wong compared it with his accent, gestures, and facial expressions like a Dragon Land master teaching his disciples. I felt strange, but I chose not to say anything. Then he explained further,
"This book is only 100 pages thick. It is the history and background of the owner of this spell. The heavy part is because it is a box containing the Cyttorak Red Gem, a magical object used to connect minds to negotiate with the owner of the spell. The cost depends on the owner of this spell's satisfaction."
"Negotiating to learn a spell with the owner?" I raised my eyebrows in surprise.
"Yes, our Mystic Arts can draw power from the Mystic Dimension because Kamar-Taj made a contract with an entity in that dimension, swearing to use the power to protect this world. It's easy to use because this world is the source of energy for Mystic entities. But for other spells, some of the owners are good entities, some don't care about anything, and some are out to destroy the world. Sorcerers and sorcerers must use their intelligence, wit, and mindfulness to carefully consider before making a contract with those entities."
I nodded slowly as I understood and listened to Master Wong's warning in a firm voice:
"Don't be fooled by power. Don't be fooled by sweet talk and lies and accidentally make a contract with entities beyond human comprehension who hold immense power from other dimensions. Remember, our goal is to protect the world, not to dominate it."
"Yes," I answered before carrying the book and walking to a quiet corner of the library to open and read, understanding my first binding spell… Crimson Band of Cyttorak
The owner of that spell It is a fiery red giant who has been aiming to take over the world since ancient times before being defeated by Wisanthi and being expelled back to his own dimension. As the loser, the war wager is to give the power of Cyttorak to the sorceress Kamar-Taj to protect this world from the enemies of other dimensions. As for the conditions, it depends on Cyttorak and the contract maker to agree on.
There are 2 important conditions: 1. Cyttorak is prohibited from taking over the body of the sorceress, unless the sorceress pledges allegiance with her own body, mind, and soul. If Wisanthi finds out that Cyttorak has used magic to interfere, he will be stripped of hismagic power in an amount appropriate to the wrong he has done.
However, if the sorceress betrays Wisanthi and Cyttorak himself, Wisanthi will not do anything to Cyttorak. This is a condition that truly tests the sorceress's heart and soul, whether she will seek power from outside the world to take over the world or not.
Another condition is that every time uses the power of the Scarlet Ribbon, must share her magic power with Cyttorak, but in exchange for giving this ribbon, It can also draw energy from the target to Cyttorak. It is an easily understood condition that the spell caster is a bridge, a passageway, letting this band come out of Cyttorak's dimension, rushing to find food/energy that the spell caster can benefit from in binding, dealing with enemies, and the spell owner can benefit from increasing their own magic.
'These conditions... all seem to be beneficial to Cyttorak, or is Vishanti... a sibling of Cyttorak, but they are divided, they have a falling out because the red giant wants to take over the world for himself, but Vishanti wants to take care of the world, by letting the creatures on earth grow and evolve according to nature?' I thought to myself before opening the book to the box of sealed gems. The way to open it is to transfer magic power from Vishanti's dimension through the Mystic Arts to the seal, which requires steadfast concentration, nourishing the golden yellow energy line to run throughout the ancient characters on the front of the box, which I did without difficulty.
Crack
The sound of the seal being released, revealing a red gem the size of a fist floating in the middle, emitting a magical, powerful, and attractive aura. I looked at it with interest. Before I heard Wong say in my head again:
"Don't be obsessed with power…."
"Huh, there is no power greater than death, right… DEATH… Use the letter E on your left hand, learn the Crimson Band of Cyttorak!"
