Chapter 153 - 149
The young sorceress standing before me, though not much older than the apprentices, had managed to impress every sorcerer in Kamar-Taj in just a few short months. It wasn't just because the current Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One herself, had named this girl as her successor—it was also because her magical talent was undeniable.
Just how talented was she?
In the few months since she'd begun studying magic, she had already surpassed everyone else in both her knowledge and her intuitive understanding of the mystical arts. Even seasoned masters like Mordo and the elder sorcerers had openly acknowledged her exceptional skill. A month ago, when other-dimensional creatures attempted to invade Earth, she personally stepped forward and vanquished a terrifying entity on her own.
Despite her gentle manner, there was a regal strength about her. She exuded a warm presence that made people feel at ease, yet she approached everything with a quiet courage and determination.
Because of this, the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj unanimously saw her as the rightful successor to the Ancient One, someone who would one day lead them in the battle against the darkness and protect Earth.
Today, the girl was officially taking over Mordo's duties, teaching the young apprentices. Her mastery of magic was second only to the Ancient One, and her teaching methods were uniquely captivating.
With a snap of her fingers—Bang!—the entire world seemed to shatter around them. Instantly, everyone was transported into the Mirror Dimension, a feat that left the young sorcerers in awe.
Then, she stretched out her hand and pressed it toward the ground. Boom! The mirror world flipped upside down. The ground quaked, mountains crumbled, and buildings fractured, sending rocks and wooden planks flying through the air. The earth beneath their feet surged as if pressing down, while a powerful wind whipped through, blowing her hair in every direction.
In the stunned eyes of her young students, the landscape of the Mirror Dimension transformed entirely. Suddenly, they found themselves standing on the shore of a vast, endless ocean. Waves lapped gently at the sand beneath their feet, while behind her rose the mountains of a secluded island, and above, seabirds wheeled in the sky.
