38 - The Cost of Mastery

No wonder Amora suddenly thought of surrendering.

It was truly because Aaron's magical talent was too terrifying.

For others, those difficult magics that take a lot of time to master were still no different from simpler magics like illusions for Aaron.

After being taught just once, he learned them and was still improving at an astonishing speed.

If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed it.

At this moment, Aaron's face flashed with an unnoticeable paleness.

Feeling the huge consumption of magic power, Aaron immediately stopped thinking about continuing to improve.

There was no way; the portal required too much magic power.

Compared with space storage, there was a difference between heaven and earth.

With his current magic power reserve, it would be difficult to achieve a large amount of improvement in a very short period of time.

In addition, the energy shield had to be upgraded to maintain a huge illusion space.

Under multiple burdens, the portal could only be upgraded to level 2.

Going further would require taking it slowly.

As for the energy shield, the same was true.

The energy shield, to put it simply, released magic power and converted it into a protective shield, which was the most effective defense against energy attacks.

But when it came to defending against physical attacks, it was less effective.

If they continued to improve, they might be able to make up for this shortcoming.

It had to be made up for!

Because the superheroes and villains currently active in the Marvel world relied more on physical strength to fight.

Even magic warriors like Thor rarely used thunder after awakening.

The defensive power of the energy shield was also related to energy supply, which was similar to energy explosion magic.

Therefore, to maximize the ability of the shield, one had to have a huge amount of magic power.

As for the mind charm, Aaron had not yet started practicing.

Looking at Amora, Aaron had an idea.

[You have carefully cast the mind charm magic once, gained a little bit, and your mind charm magic proficiency +1]

[Are you serious...]

Amid Amora's horrified look, Aaron used her to increase his proficiency in mind charm magic.

This time, Amora finally experienced for herself the terrifying and exaggerated speed of improvement.

The psychic attacks she felt were getting stronger and stronger. At first, she could completely ignore them, but later, she had to use part of her mind to resist the invasion.

That kind of speed was something she had never seen before.

Even though she saw Aaron learning other magics, the experience was not as shocking as feeling it personally.

She struggled to bear the impact one after another.

Before long, the gurgling stream turned into a surging river.

She used all her strength to resist the impact, using mental barriers and psychic power to counteract, and tried every means to defend herself.

Until later, it was difficult for her to distract herself with other thoughts.

Most of her mind was absorbed in the ferocious attack.

"Wait! I surrender! Please stop messing with me. I am willing to surrender to you and be loyal to you forever. No matter what you ask for, I will abide by it unconditionally!"

After realizing that if she continued, she would become Aaron's puppet, Amora quickly begged for mercy.

She had controlled other people, and the men controlled by her would lose all consciousness and be driven by her willfully, without any freedom.

She did not want to be that kind of person, and she knew the pitifulness of those being manipulated.

Especially since the target was Aaron, a master of illusions. Even if he did this or that to her, no one would notice, and even Odin could not see the flaw.

When that day came, her life would be more uncomfortable than death.

"Are you telling the truth?" Aaron stopped and looked at her.

"True! Everything I said is true!" Upon seeing this, Amora hurriedly expressed her feelings. "I swear to the gods, as long as I dare to go against any of your wishes or have bad thoughts about you, then my magic will never be able to go further, and I will also be damned!"

At this point, she looked up at Aaron again and found that he had not yet agreed, so she gritted her teeth and said, "And after my death, I will never be able to enter Valhalla, and my soul will be tortured in the endless Hades!"

Valhalla is the Hall of Valor.

The place where the souls of the Aesir go after death.

There, the Aesir who died in battle will continue to live in the form of souls and may even have a chance to be resurrected in the future.

It can be said that it is a place that no Asgardian can desecrate.

Amora's oath to this was quite weighty.

And this is Marvel, where oaths sworn by the gods are powerful.

Once violated, the consequences would be unbearable.

Even Odin would not dare to swear like this easily.

Let alone Amora.

After hearing this, Aaron stopped practicing mind charm magic with her.

Amora finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the other party did not say it, she knew that her freedom and her life were in his hands.

But then she thought that she would not be able to refuse Aaron's orders in the future, and her whole person seemed to lose its luster all of a sudden.

Amora, oh Amora, why were you stupid enough to trouble him?
