Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Sometimes, social death comes after excessive arrogance!

Even so, Mordo just said someone used Dark Magic in Kamar-Taj.

But this did not stir too many waves in Sorcerer Ancient One's heart.

After all, she understood Mordo.

He was extremely zealous in his hatred for Dark Magic.

If a Dark Magician were to use Dark Magic in Kamar-Taj, the underlying code would have triggered long ago, chopping them into mincemeat.

There would be no need to notify her to take action.

Therefore, there must be a hidden reason.

Sorcerer Ancient One's voice carried a soul-soothing buff.

Mordo, who had been anxious and uneasy, inexplicably calmed down.

He recounted everything he had seen and heard to Sorcerer Ancient One and Wong.

After listening to Mordo's narration, the usually serious Wong couldn't maintain his composure again.

"You're saying an Apprentice Sorcerer named Sharlot learned and mastered Portal in less than ten minutes?

And it was a cross-dimensional Portal!?

This, how is this possible?!

Perhaps even the Sorcerer Supreme couldn't do it!"

Wong, who usually spoke few words, had said almost a month's worth in just a few minutes, which was enough to show how shocked he was at that moment.

Mordo finished speaking and slapped his thigh, exclaiming, "Exactly!

I also think it's impossible!

But we checked this batch of Apprentice Sorcerers before.

They really had no magic foundation.

So it shouldn't be some big shot pretending to be a newbie to fish here.

It's just that this disciple named Sharlot really has talent!"

"It's just... how did this talent point get skewed!

How could opening a Portal lead to the Dark Dimension!

This, this is simply an innate Dark Magic Holy Body!"

After hearing Mordo's account, Ancient One's unchanging heart couldn't help but ripple slightly.

She rarely found herself interested in Sharlot.

Since acquiring the eye of agamotto, she had seen too many possible futures over these thousands of years.

But she had never seen a situation like this.

This was a 'variable' in the path of destiny!

Interacting with him might produce unexpected results.

For example... allowing her retirement to come a few years earlier?

Thinking of this, Sorcerer Ancient One put down her teacup.

Her right hand traced a circle in the void, and large golden sparks rose out of thin air.

A Portal opened, and she stepped through to the training ground.

She looked at the two massive Hell's Gates that still lingered in the training ground, emitting a cold and eerie aura.

Ancient One touched them, feeling the distinct uneven texture different from traditional Portals.

Her expression became slightly solemn.

She nodded. "Indeed, this aura is undeniably Dark Magic!

Where is that Apprentice Sorcerer named Sharlot?

Let me see him."

Mordo also returned to the training ground from the main hall via a Portal.

Hearing Sorcerer Ancient One's words, he quickly said, "Alright, Sorcerer Ancient One.

I'll call Sharlot he..."

Mid-sentence, Mordo suddenly choked.

Because he realized that Sharlot, who looked innocent and foolish, like an honest person, had disappeared at some point!

"Sorcerer Mordo, Sharlot already ran off."

"That's right! Less than half a minute after you left, he directly ran into that terrifying Portal!"

"We couldn't stop him!"

"We couldn't even react!"

Listening to the Apprentice Sorcerers' accounts, Mordo's little brain directly crashed.

What?

He ran off in less than half a minute?

Doesn't that mean he had planned this all along!?

I knew it!

Why did he stop halfway when I asked him to cast a Portal?

So, the fellow had a plan back then, right!

I never thought! I never thought!

Sharlot, a seemingly honest guy like you, actually betrayed the revolution!?

"Sorcerer Ancient One, what should we do now?"

Mordo lowered his head, his face full of remorse.

After all, allowing a Dark Magician to enter Kamar-Taj and cast Dark Magic was a serious dereliction of duty!

At this moment, he only wanted to quickly capture Sharlot and hand him over to Sorcerer Ancient One for punishment.

Sorcerer Ancient One looked at the Hell's Gate leading to the Dark Dimension, her eyes thoughtful.

After a moment, she spoke, "No matter, come with me into this Dark Dimension.

I have a premonition that we will see Sharlot very soon!"

...Meanwhile, on the second floor of the London Sanctum, in the magic artifact display room.

When Sharlot arrived here, he felt the entire World fall silent.

The whole room exuded an ancient, mysterious, and tranquil aura.

Countless ancient and powerful magic artifacts were placed in transparent glass cabinets, awaiting selection and use by sorcerers.

And Sharlot's gaze was immediately drawn to the red cloak of levitation floating in the void, exuding an 'arrogant' aura.

So, without much hesitation, he grabbed a small Dark Creature that had been constantly rubbing against his pants in the Dark Dimension, through the Hell's Gate.

Holding it in his hand, like throwing a stone, *bang*!

He directly smashed the glass cabinet containing the cloak of levitation.

(Dark Creature: So, love disappears, right?)

After the glass cabinet was shattered, the red cloak of levitation, as if sentient, immediately darted out of the cabinet.

It seemed to be trying to warn Danny, the Guardian Sorcerer of the New York Sanctum.

How could Sharlot, who had finally made it here, give it such an opportunity?

He grabbed it directly!

And instantly refined it!

The next moment, the system's cold voice rang in his mind again.

"Ding!"

"Host detected holding the cloak of levitation!"

"It has been automatically converted into a cloak of undead!"

The next moment, the cloak of levitation, which had been struggling and trying to fly away in his hand, instantly quieted down.

Its originally soft, comfortable red fabric immediately looked as if it had been corrupted, becoming rotten and pitch-black!

It slowly transformed into a cloak of undead made entirely of black skeletons, exuding a dark aura!

These black skulls had ferocious expressions, as if screaming in agony!

They looked dilapidated, sinister, evil, and powerful!

Sharlot caressed the Undead Skeletons that looked full of dark punk style.

The system's functional description appeared before his eyes.

"Weapon: cloak of undead

Function 1: Undead born from the death dimension can block damage for the user again and again, until the user's magic energy is exhausted.

Function 2: The Undead Skeletons forming the cloak can actively attack, forming an Undead Bone Wind that surrounds the enemy, causing them to experience fear, panic, and other emotions, and inflicting damage with a decaying effect on their body.

Function 3: The cloak of undead always maintains the ability to let the user fly, but its shape can be decided by the user. For example, it can maintain the normal state of a cape cloak, or be transformed into a short shirt with a skull pattern, or even shoes with a skull logo, etc..."

Looking at the system's description, Sharlot's face once again showed a smile.

It must be said, this dark magic system is great!

An ordinary red cloak of levitation, besides flying, could only perform simple physical attacks.

But this cloak of undead, full of dilapidated and sinister aura, besides flying, could also cause mental damage and debuffs.

At the same time, its defensive capability no longer depended on the cloak's own endurance limit, but rather on the user's own magic energy storage.

This avoided the situation in Avengers 3 where Doctor Strange's cloak was burned with a hole, reducing its defensive range.

Moreover, it could be reshaped into an inconspicuous shirt or shoes.

This looked much more natural than Doctor Strange walking on the street draped in his cloak.

Before this, Sharlot might still have had some doubts about the dark magic system.

But after the transformation of the Hell's Gate and the cloak of undead, he, Sharlot, was determined to become a loyal Dark Magic believer!

Thinking of this, Sharlot couldn't help but drape the cloak of undead over his shoulders.

His body slowly floated in the air.

Looking at himself in the mirror, hundreds of Undead Skeletons stretched out black arms, enveloping his body like a thousand-armed Guanyin.

His entire body exuded a dark aura, making people feel scared and trembling.

Sharlot couldn't help but feel a little arrogant, letting out a villain's standard laugh.

"Hehehehehehehehehe!

I am a Dark Magician!

I will rule Kamar-Taj!"

No sooner had he spoken than a golden Portal appeared before Sharlot's eyes.

The Sorcerer Ancient One, dressed in simple clothes and with a 'kind' expression, walked in.

Looking at Sharlot, she softly said, "You just said you want to rule Kamar-Taj?"

Sharlot: !!!
