Chapter 216 - 215. The Deal
----
When Nolan told her outright she didn’t stand a chance against them, Magik didn’t argue.
Because it was true.
She’d already sensed the overwhelming magical pressure radiating from him and saw firsthand how Nolan had shattered her minions not just physically, but on a soul level.
Even her trump card, the [Soul Sword], wasn’t enough. He was her equal in sorcery and far beyond her in every other way.
Worse still, Mordo was only slightly weaker than her. And Wanda, somewhere below, was tearing through infernal creatures like a vengeful goddess.
Magik wasn’t stupid. She had already surpassed Belasco, inherited all the dark magic he could offer including the Soul Sword itself, a spell he never mastered.
But that was the problem.
She had learned everything he knew.
And without new knowledge, without new structures or guidance, she had hit a wall.
Magic wasn’t about power it was about understanding.
