Kaecilius was dissatisfied with having to sit next to Edward to watch this movie, but knowing that in a few minutes he could unmask this boy in front of the whole monastery, he calmed down and started to pay attention to the program.
On the screen, a man with pale skin was controlling his tongue like a snake and beating up an old man. From their conversation, Kaecilius realized that these two men were both master and disciple.
It reminded Kaecilius of the Ancient One, who if he hadn't died, would probably be someone he would have to deal with in the future to fulfill his goal.
The abilities of these two men in the movie were quite powerful, especially that old man, at one point he made an earth dragon that seemed to be quite powerful.
Kaecilius even wondered if he could handle this old man with the knowledge of magic he had, but from what the snake man said, this old man wasn't even showing his most powerful abilities!
Without him realizing it, Kaecilius was very focused on this movie that Edward was watching, the abilities of these two men looked a lot like magic, but unlike the Masters of the Mystic Arts, these men in the movie used an internal energy to control these spells, without needing to borrow no energy from another dimension!
The battle between the two was very realistic, to the point that Kaecilius was getting more and more focused on the battle on television and ignored his initial goal of coming here.
But suddenly, the snake man did a spell that surprised Kaecilius, three coffins appeared from the ground where they were fighting, but while the old man managed to prevent one of the coffins from appearing, the other two had already appeared without any problems.
And when these coffins appeared, two powerful looking men appeared.
It wasn't enough to shock Kaecilius, but after hearing the old man's explanation to the warriors around him. Those two men who came out of the coffin were actually the first two leaders of this village where they lived! And the most surprising thing is that even though these two died, after the snake man used this ability, they still kept their memories and managed to act like normal people!
Kaecilius' heart raced a lot, he was watching this battle but his mind was constantly thinking about what he could do to make this skill viable in the real world. Until a voice snapped Kaecilius back to reality.
"Are you interested in Edo Tensei?" Edward asked with a friendly smile.
"Edo Tensei?" Kaecilius asked confused.
"It's the name of that technique that Orochimaru, that snake man, just used to revive the two village leaders." Edward explained. "I know you joined Kamar Taj to try to revive your relatives, but I believe you still haven't found a way to do that, am I correct?"
Kaecilius was truly shocked now, without a second thought he got up from the couch and stood on high alert. If Edward knew what he wanted, then it was possible that Edward knew what he intended to do here today.
Luckily he saw that Edward hadn't gotten up from the couch, and just kept smiling at him.
"This technique, Edo Tensei, is really tempting, but this is just a movie, it's impossible for something like this to work in real life." Kaecilius said trying to convince himself.
"You know, if someone told you in the past that there was magic in the world, and that mages could go anywhere on the planet, what would you say?" Edward asked still with a smile.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
Kaecilius was shocked by what Edward said, not in the literal sense, but because he understood the meaning of what Edward said.
"Are you saying… does this Edo Tensei exist?" Kaecilius asked in disbelief.
All he ever wanted was to resurrect his dead wife and son, but he'd never found a way to do something like that, but now, in front of him was this young man saying this was really possible? It's like showing a man who wandered for 10 years in the desert that there is a river of fresh water in front of him, as much as he was seeing, his mind kept screaming that it was a mirage and that he should be careful.
"Yes Kaecilius, not only does Edo Tensei exist, but what you just watched is not a movie as you initially thought, but something like a depiction of another world. And of course, if you're interested, you can also learn to energy of that world and perform the spells they use in that world, just like Orochimaru's Edo Tensei." Edward replied.
In Edward's mind, as soon as the Edo Tensei appeared on television, System gave him a warning that a disciple named Kaecilius was considered to be compatible with Orochimaru and that a System could be created for him.
But Edward wouldn't just give Kaecilius a System like that at no cost, Edward wanted Kaecilius to beg him for it, for only then would Kaecilius value this chance he'd given him, and stop having the dirty thoughts he had when he came to here.
Yes, Edward noticed Kaecilius' anomaly, and the malice-filled looks he gave himself, despite the identity Edward had. But he didn't mind that, as he knew it would only be a matter of time before he converted Kaecilius to become a true disciple of his.
"That's how you…" Kaecilius stopped mid-sentence and began speaking in a more respectful manner, almost bordering on fanaticism. "Forgive me for the way I acted Sorcerer Supreme, but may I ask how you came to know these powers?"
Edward just smiled and said a sentence. "Didn't I say I spent a few years in seclusion? I didn't say I stayed in a locked room just studying, but I got to know a lot of things from other worlds."
He didn't explicitly say that he visited these worlds to learn these spells, but Kaecilius understood exactly that.
Soon he realized that this apparently 20-year-old young man in front of him might not even be 20 years old, but he could actually be a man who has lived for centuries traveling through different worlds!
Without thinking twice, Kaecilius knelt down and looked at the floor as he said it in a very respectful manner. "Sorcerer Supreme, Kaecilius has been disrespectful to Your Excellency and deserves to be punished."
He realized that Edward was his only chance of being able to revive his relatives, so before asking for anything, he apologized for the way he acted earlier and even proposed that he be punished for it.
But Edward just smiled. "Don't worry Kaecilius, as this was the first time, we can just ignore it." But suddenly Edward's expression and voice changed to a much colder one. "But we know there won't be a second time, right?"
Cold sweat trickled down Kaecilius' back. Edward had unleashed some of his magical power, but to Kaecilius who was only a Master of the Mystic Arts, the strength of a Sorcerer Supreme was like an Ocean pulling him to drown.
"Yes sir Sorcerer Supreme, that will never happen again!" Kaecilius said in a serious way.
Then Edward smiled again as if nothing had happened and told Kaecilius.
"I hope this serves you well, and helps you fulfill your goals. You can leave."
Kaecilius was confused as to what Edward was talking about, but when he lifted his head, he saw a golden screen floating in front of him.
[Do you wish to accept the Snake Sage System?]
Kaecilius remembered that the man who used the Edo Tensei was a man who looked like a snake, and upon reading the description of that System, Kaecilius saw that he could learn all the abilities of this System. snake man in the future!
With a shocked expression, Kaecilius nodded to Edward even more respectfully than how he acted with the Ancient One, and turned to leave with his eyes shining as he looked at this System.
'I will finally be able to revive you two.' He thought with a smile. But in the back of his mind Edward's strength became more and more mysterious, for being able to teach magic in a way that no Kamar Taj book explained, Edward's strength could not even be imagined by him.
--------
The forces at Kamar Taj are divided into.
Apprentice -> Mage -> Veteran Mage -> Master of the Mystic Arts -> Grand Master of the Mystic Arts -> Sorcerer Supreme -> ??????
These forces are unofficial, but to make it easier for readers to identify them, I've decided to break them down this way. We know that Dr. Strange was the Sorcerer Supreme when he fought Thanos, but he couldn't defeat Thanos alone, so there will likely be more powerful power levels in the future, to also rank the mages' strength compared to the Asgardians, Odin, Thanos, Galactus, and others mighty enemies of the universe.
Don't worry, It will not become a Cultivation novel hahaha, the disciples will just use these methods to quantify their strength with their Systems.
