Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 669 Traitor Casillas (Second Update)

"This is a mirror space. Although it exists, it is difficult to detect. Everything that happens here is unrelated to reality. It is the best way for us mages to practice large-scale magic and monitor the outside world."

Of course, we sometimes use it to avoid danger.

Inside the mirrored space of the living room, the Ancient One was instructing Stephen on how to learn and use mirror magic when suddenly a portal appeared, and Jerry walked in.

"Long time no see, Your Excellency, and Stephen, not bad, you've changed into blue robes!"

The robes worn by sorcerers of different ranks in Kamar-Taj are also different colors.

The most basic robe is grayish-white, worn only by novice mages. Then comes red, indicating that one has gained a basic understanding of magic.

The fact that Stephen is wearing a blue robe shows that his magical skill level in Kamartaki is quite high, making him a formal mage.

"Long time no see, Mage Carmen!"

The Ancient One was not surprised by Jerry's appearance. Jerry did not conceal his presence when he came, so the Ancient One sensed him when he appeared on the training ground.

Stephen was pleasantly surprised by Jerry's appearance and stepped forward to shake hands, saying:

"Thank you, Mr. Carmen, for helping me find a way to heal my hands and for allowing me to access this new world."

When he was in a car accident and lost both his hands, Jerry guided him to Kamar-Taj, enabling him to become a sorcerer and also healing his hands.

So deep down, he was still very grateful to Jerry.

"I only helped you with a small favor; it's mainly up to you!"

Jerry smiled, then looked at Gu Yi Dao:

"Your Excellency, please continue. I have nothing to do; I just came to check on things."

Gu Yi nodded. She knew Jerry had something on his mind, but it seemed inconvenient to say it in front of Stephen. So after giving Stephen some pointers, she told him to go back and read on his own.

"Jerry, what's up?"

"Your Excellency truly understands me. I sensed a great crisis was about to unfold, and the origin of that crisis lies in Kamar-Taj. Therefore, I wish to seek Your Excellency's guidance."

Jerry saw Gu Yi smiling as he made himself a cup of tea, and then his eyes lit up as he spoke.

Gu Yi paused for a moment upon hearing this, then sighed:

"It's normal that you can sense it. It's Kaecilius. He and a group of his followers betrayed Kamar-Tajki and became Dormammu's followers."

I thought he might change, but I never expected it to end like this.

"So, that crisis refers to Dormammu's impending invasion of Earth again?"

Jerry asked, feigning curiosity.

Gu Yi nodded:

"Yes, Kaecilius infiltrated the library to obtain the Dark Ritual Book that could contact Dormammu and establish a passage for Dormammu to descend to Earth."

They have now successfully performed the dark ritual, become followers of Dormammu, and gained dark power.

Next, they'll probably destroy the three sanctuaries!

Dormammu has invaded Earth many times, but the Ancient One has repelled him each time by using the three Sanctuaries.

The combined power of the three Sanctuaries on the Ancient One is akin to a dimensional daemon fighting in its own dimensional world, its strength breaking through boundaries and reaching the level of a single universe.

Dormammu's power would be greatly weakened if he left his dark dimension to invade Earth, making him no match for the Ancient One.

However, if the three sanctuaries are destroyed, then the Ancient One's chances of winning against Dormammu will be very low, even if all the mages in Kamar-Taj are added.

"Your Excellency, with your strength, even if Casillas and the others absorbed the power of darkness, they would still be no match for you."

"And you have the Time Stone to see the future, so even if they hide, they can't escape your detection. Do you have some other plan?"

Jerry got straight to the point.

Kaecilius's strength was indeed passable, but even after absorbing Dormammu's dark power, he was at most at the peak of Earth-level strength, while the Ancient One was at the peak of the Skyfather and possessed the Time Stone.

If you really wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Gu Yi looked up at Jerry, and finally smiled helplessly:

"As expected, I couldn't hide it from you. Actually, I was planning to ask you for this favor. I'm about to die, and I plan to pass on the position of Sorcerer Supreme to Stephen before I die."

And Kaecilius and Dormammu are the final trials I left for him.

However, just in case, if he is unable to complete the trial, I hope you can help drive Dormammu off Earth. I've also spoken to His Majesty Odin; he will also assist in that matter.

The sorcerers of Kamar-Taj all knew that the Ancient One was powerful, but they didn't know the exact extent of her power. Therefore, they never questioned why the Ancient One didn't find and eliminate Kaecilius after his betrayal.

Unlike Jerry, the Ancient One learned from Odin that Jerry was creating dimensional worlds and that Jerry's current strength was no less than hers.

Therefore, she was perfectly aware of the difference in strength between herself and Casillas.

However, she never intended to hide it from Jerry in the first place; in fact, if Jerry hadn't come over, she might have gone to see him again in a few days.

Although she was proficient in time magic and had used the Time Stone to examine various possibilities for the future, all of which turned out to be positive, beings of Dormammu's caliber had already interfered with the future.

The result she sees now may not be the real result.

Therefore, she also needs to add another layer of insurance for Stephen's trial to become the Sorcerer Supreme.

Originally, this insurance was intended for Odin, since Earth also belongs to the Nine Realms. So Odin promised her that if Stephen couldn't handle the Dormammu invasion, Odin would step in to help.

However, relying solely on Odin is not entirely safe, as Odin's power will decrease significantly after leaving Asgard.

With Jerry as the second layer of insurance, then everything is foolproof.

So, the Ancient One then revealed her entire plan to Jerry.

Jerry didn't hesitate when he heard this and agreed to help Stephen cover for him, because that was his original purpose for coming here.

"Stephen is the most talented sorcerer I have ever seen besides you. I believe he will become a qualified Sorcerer Supreme in the future and lead Kamar-Taj to protect the Earth."

The Ancient One finally let out a sigh.

Jerry didn't reply, but he knew in his heart that without the panel and the little red star, his talent was actually far inferior to Stephen's.

Stephen has been in Kamar-Taj for less than a year, and he has gone from a complete novice with no magic knowledge to a Blue Bubble Wizard. He has even begun to master time magic, which even veteran wizards like Mordo cannot.
