The Visitors
A/N: Pat-reon: HelloDarkness07
First of all, sorry for being late to upload. I was busy the last three days, thanks to the wedding of a friend of mine. I usually don't like going to weddings, but this friend had been with me for my BSc as well as my MSc, and he was also my roommate during our MSc, as well as my partner during our projects.
Plus, he invited me like a month in advance, and it would have been rude not to go.
Anyway, the place I was in was too far away from the city, and the network was not good at all. I didn't get to come online for more than a minute or two at a time, thanks to either the lack of network, or the lack of time.
The wedding was amazing, my buddy was happy, the bride was happy, we all enjoyed ourselves a lot. And now I'm back home.
So.. read on!

"Welcome.. to Sanctuary!" I say, spreading my arms wide as Tatiana and I walk through the portal, on a beach of my Island.
Tatiana looks around, smiling at my enthusiasm, and asks, "You never said, what is this a Sanctuary for.. or from?"
"This entire Island, my dear Tatiana, is a Sanctuary for all manners of creatures, both Magical, and Mundane. Dragons, direwolves, Yeti, Nundu, Diricrawls, Snidgets, Cerberus, any Magical creature that is hunted by us.. by humans.. will be protected here. No human will hunt them on Sanctuary, and no Mage will try to harm them."
As a matter of fact, the only Potion ingredients I will collect will come from the naturally dead animals, or from willing donors.
"Wow!" Tatiana exclaims, now looking around in a new light.
"I'm really aiming towards making this Island the safest place on Earth, at least for Magical creatures. To that end, there's a Ward on the island that prevents any person other than me from using Magic. That's even if they manage to make it here, because there's another Ward that surrounds the Island preventing mundanes and Magicals alike from seeing this place, or accidentally coming here. Any portal or Teleportation will be brought on this beach, and I will know of it, and be ready." I say, as I start looking around, smiling.
"I don't think your first ward works." Tatiana says, and I see her waving her hand, with some of the sand flying over her hand, guided by her hand movements.
Chuckling, I say, "That Ward is actually a bit inside the Island borders, around 100 meters in." Tatiana closes her eyes, no doubt feeling for the Ward, and then frowns, feeling nothing. "Good, my Wards work then. They're Egyptian Wards, Tatiana, modified by yours truly to serve all my purposes. Let's just say that no one will know the wards are there, and those that try to attack the island.. well they won't have a happy ending."
I then hold my hand out to a scowling Tatiana, and say, "Now come, I'll add you to the Wards, and then we will go meet the dragons."
"Dragons?!" Tatiana excitedly squeaks, as I apparate us both to my Castle, causing me to chuckle. Well, of course she's excited, who wouldn't want to meet Dragons?
---
Tatiana stays in my Castle for a week, both of us enjoying the relaxing atmosphere there. We went swimming almost every morning, either in the sea, or one of the lakes, obviously skinny dipping. And we also took advantage of being the only two people on Sanctuary to have sex anywhere we wanted.
Trust me, no matter how sexy it might look, don't do it on the beach. The fucking sand goes everywhere, and we didn't remember to cast spells to prevent it.
Tatiana also met with the dragons, and I enjoyed the shock of my Parseltongue reveal. Tatiana had enjoyed flying on top of Aplistia, though, both of them somewhat bonded with each other. Good for them.
And then, Tatiana left for Kamar Taj, having accepted Master Ayesha's offer. She had some concerns about learning Dimensional Magic, and was almost ready to not learn it. Well, I was sure to disabuse her of that.
As I learned far too late in my own life, there's a difference between Forming Connections, Making Pacts, and Making Deals. And yes, the final two are different.
Pacts bind you to a Dimension, and have a very small price, at most eternal Servitude, or corruption of the Soul. Deals usually cost you your entire Soul.
When Tatiana left for Kamar Taj, I myself left Sanctuary for Britannia, to become the Britannia Sanctum's Master. The Britannia Sanctum was built in a Forest, originally, but then it was moved to the corner of a small town, after one of the many battles against Demons destroyed the previous building.
The Sanctum is strangely normal, at least from the outside. The only thing that distinguished the Sanctum from the houses beside it, was the Symbol of the Vishanti painted on the rooftop. It is what marked this building as the Sanctum Sanctorum.
From the outside, however, it was a different matter. The building was magically expanded, and it was as big as my own Castle, which is.. impressive. There were magical lights hanging off of the roof, as well as flame torches lighting the paths.
Currently, Master Murgiel, the temporary Master, was showing me around, while Master Ayesha followed us. We had already been through the bedrooms, the Kitchen, the prisons, the bathroom, and even the Portal Room. The Portal Room was just a single Hallway that housed the single always-on portal, with Kamar Taj on the other side. Kamar Taj's Portal Room housed three Portals leading towards all three Sanctums.
As we walk through the Library door, Master Murgiel says, "This is the Library, I don't need to tell you what its main purpose is. The secondary purpose is that the Library leads to the Wardstones for the Protective Wards of the Sanctum. Come."
Master Murgiel then walks towards the centre of the room, while I look around. The Library, while nothing on the Library of Alexandria, or even Kamar Taj's Library, was pretty impressive. It held around 10,000 books, as far as I can see.
My eyes go back towards Master Murgiel when she leans down once at the exact centre of the Library. With a single swipe of her finger, she unlocks some sort of spell, and I widen my eyes, when I see a trapdoor appear. I hadn't even smelled that!
She then pulls at the circular handle, and opens the trapdoor, showing us a staircase. As she starts climbing down, she says, "The Ward only responds to the three Sanctum Masters and the Sorcerer Supreme themselves; no one else can open it. Once you're the Master of the Sanctum, the Ward will open for you, and not me."
I nod, as I curiously look around, now at the end of the Stairway. Master Murgiel keeps walking forward, and I conjure a Lumos orb over our heads, to light the way. Around a dozen meters away, I see a single stone pillar, going from the surface of the floor, to the ceiling, and even further on both sides. There were a lot of Symbols carved in them, reminiscent of the Geometrical shapes that make up our Tao Mandala spells, and there were a few Runes too.
Master Murgiel places her hand on a circle, which starts spinning in a counterclockwise direction, points at another similar circle, and says, "Cut into your palm, and place your hand there."
I look at Master Ayesha for confirmation, and when she nods, I approach the pillar. Taking a dagger enchanted for this exact purpose of keeping my wounds open, I cut into my palm, and place my bleeding hand on the pillar.
Master Murgiel closes her eyes, and there's a simple flash of light, before I feel something slam into my head. And then.. I know. I am the Master of the Sanctum now, I have control of the Wards that protect the Sanctum!
With a simple blink, I start getting used to the feeling, and say, "That.. was weird."
Master Murgiel nods, and says, "It takes some getting used to. Now, only one room remaining. The Relic Vault."
We climb the stairs back up, and I lock the trapdoor with the swipe of my hand, after healing myself back. And then, Master Murgiel takes us towards the Relic Vault, which had its door right in front of the Library door.
As soon as Master Murgiel opens the door, something flies out of the Vault, and slams into my face, its speed too high for even me to react, causing me to fall on my back. Ignoring the pain of that happening, I move both my hands towards whatever was now starting to cover my face, and hold my breath.
Extending my nails, I try to find a ridge, from where I can claw the offending attacker away, but then I hear, "Atharva.. stop resisting, it is not harming you."
I freeze, recognising the amused voice of Master Ayesha. Speaking of, they hadn't even tried to help me.
I open my eyes, and blink, surprised at my sight not being blocked at all. I could see everything clearly, as if my entire head wasn't covered in something metallic.
Sniff, sniff.
Is that Gold? No.. it is similar, but not the same.
Ayesha and Murgiel stood above me, looking amused at my actions, as Master Ayesha says, "Congratulations, Master Joshi, you've been chosen by a Relic."
Relic.
Oh! So that's why they didn't help me. I let out my breath, and breathe in, pleased to feel that the air I breathed in was as fresh as that on Sanctuary.
I look up, and ask, "Can someone help me take this off, ple-"
As soon as I say that, the Gold like metal covering my head turns into liquid, and slides down my neck, making me shiver. It finally condenses into a solid, when it reaches my chest, and settles down over my heart. I poke at it a few times, weirded out by the almost alive metal.
Wide eyed, I look at Master Ayesha, point at my chest and whisper, "What the fuck is that?" As if I was afraid of waking the offending thing back up.
Master Murgiel snorts, and says, "You must know the tale of Mahabharata, right? The Kurukshetra War? You look like you're from those lands." I nod, prompting her to continue, "There's this character in there, a Son of Surya, the Sun God. Karna. He was born with a set of armour and a pair of earrings that together made him invincible."
I gasp, and look down at the circular disk covering my heart, and only now notice that it had the image of the Sun on top of it.
Is this it? The legendary Kavach, that made Karna invincible?
"No that's not it." Master Murgiel says, much to my disappointment. She snorts, obviously amused at the look on my face, and says, "A Sorcerer from your lands, Master Nagarjuna, got inspired by the tale and began crafting a Relic for himself. The Vedic Craftsmanship God Vishwakarma himself stepped in, and blessed the Relic once it was completed, turning it into what you can now see. It's called the Prati Kavach, and it definitely won't make you invincible. A dead Master Nagarjuna can attest to that."
Master Ayesha takes over, and says, "If I remember correctly, the Prati Kavach only covers a single body part at a time. Either one of your arms, one of your legs, your torso, or your head. It can defend against a lot of attacks, both physical and Magical, but some Demonic and Divine attacks will pass through."
Right, that needs some research.
I look up at Master Ayesha, and ask, "Will I be allowed to Reforge this Relic if it feels insufficient?"
Masters Ayesha and Murgiel, both snort simultaneously, and Master Ayesha says, "Relics are not easily destroyed, Atharva. Only something Divine or Demonic might harm them, so I have issues understanding why you might find it insufficient. And you won't even be able to melt the Prati Kavach, let alone reforge it. Remember, the Craftsmanship God Vishwakarma himself blessed it."
I nod, and say, "Still, if I do manage to melt it, will I be allowed to Reforge it?"
I know that no defense is absolute, which means this Prati Kavach has some limits. And I doubt those limits will hold when I fight the enemies that I foresee myself fighting in the future. Which means, I need to enhance it, but not yet obviously.
Master Ayesha shrugs, and says, "If you manage to reforge this, and improve the Prati Kavach, I myself will hand the Eye of Agamotto to you for reforging."
"That's.. not a reward?" I say, confused.
Master Ayesha rolls her eyes, and says, "Why would I reward you for reforging your own Relic, Atharva? The Reforged Relic is a reward by itself."
With a shake of my head, I turn towards Master Murgiel, and ask, "Is this all?"
Master Murgiel nods, and says, "Yes. The Relic Vault was the last one, but I suppose you don't have any interest in touring it now. Be warned that the Library, and the Relic Vault, are your responsibility above all else. Not a single piece should go missing, and if it does, you're responsible for hunting the thief, and bringing them here, along with the missing piece. Same goes for books. Understood?"
I nod, completely understanding, but my mind was still focused on my new Relic. Master Murgiel nods, and turning towards Master Ayesha, she says, "Shall we go then? Merde will be waiting for us, you know. You haven't visited us in a while."
Chuckling, Master Ayesha says, "Yes, I realise I haven't. Let's go visit your grandchildren then." She then turns towards me, and says, "Don't worry, Atharva. I am just a portal away, if you need my help. But, I doubt you will come for something trivial. Anyway, goodbye, Master Atharva."
As soon as Masters Ayesha and Murgiel leave for Kamar Taj, from where they will no doubt go to wherever Murgiel lives, I turn to go towards the Library, and immediately stumble, finding myself already standing inside the Library.
Fucking Master Ward will need some time to get control over. But first..
Placing my hand on a study table, I close my eyes and intone, "Nagarjuna."
Immediately, twenty five books fly out from various shelves, and stack themselves on top of the table. A handy enchantment, if I say so myself. Useful when you're looking for keywords, and not actual subjects.
Still keeping my hand there, I intone, "Prati Kavach." And smile, seeing a single book from the stack itself float up, and drop down on the table, away from the stacks.
Time to study my Relic.
---
Imbued with the Magic from multiple dimensions, the Prati Kavach was an amazing Relic, and I am damn excited to have it in my possession.
Crimson Cosmos's Magic gives its user a little bit of superstrength, not much, just a 20% boost over the original strength. It gives a bigger boost to those with either Pacts with the Realm, or deals with the Demon Lord Cyttorak himself. And there hasn't been a Champion of Cyttorak since.. ever.
The Magic from the Haven Realm, specifically from the Seraph, gave the Prati Kavach a manner of shielding capabilities. Magic, as well as Physical objects can be stopped from harming its user. But, you have to physically bring it in the way of the attack to be successful.
Considering that it is just half a centimetre thick at all times, no matter what body part it covers, it is something else. Vishwakarma's blessings probably have something to do with it as well.
Then, the energy of an unknown Dimension, that Nagarjuna called the Plane of Change, allowed the Prati Kavach to shift forms to cover whatever body part it is needed over.
There were more connections, most of which formed because other Sorcerers used spells through the Gauntlet mode that allowed the Prati Kavach to channel Dimensional and Universal Magic as if it was my own hand.
Nagarjuna wrote a lot about the Prati Kavach, the process of its creation, how he contacted Vishwakarma for the Blessings, etc. It seems Vishwakarma not only blessed it, but limited its benefits. The Vedic Gods were afraid of another mortal with the capabilities of Karna, at least on the defensive side. And so, Vishwakarma made the Prati Kavach thousands of times weaker than the actual Kavach.
The Prati Kavach can still be penetrated, but only by highly Magical weapons, or at least by weapons made by Magical Metals, or if I am hit by a strong enough force. Which means that while the Prati Kavach is good, it's not a perfect defense.
Well, it doesn't matter anyway, I am not planning on relying on the Prati Kavach. It will just be an additional defense for me, nothing more.
Soon, I get used to staying in the Sanctum, thanks to the new library I now have access to. I've catalogued the books, and even the Relics in the Vault. There weren't any regular attacks or anything like that, so I would frequently visit the Sanctuary to make sure everything was running smoothly, and to make sure the dragons were alright.
Some days, Tatiana would visit through the portal to come spend the night at the Britannia Sanctum, and some days, us Sanctum Masters would be called to Kamar Taj to discuss one thing or another. Usually, it was to warn us if a Sorcerer went Rogue.
Which.. isn't actually a Crime, as far as Kamar Taj laws are concerned. Anyone can leave Kamar Taj, stop being loyal to it, and become, as I said, Rogue. We were only warned so that we can be prepared for an attack or something by them, just in case they lean towards that.
You know, like Kaicilius or Karl Mordo did. Huh, makes me wonder why Dr Strange and Karl Mordo came together again to follow Sise-Neg. A butterfly effect because of my presence maybe?
Not my problem.. not yet at least.
Speaking of Sanctuary, it was.. getting bigger. Not by area, no. The number of Elves had gone up to 10 now, with the new Elves binding themselves to the Island itself. And now, they don't even come to ask me what to do! They just divided the work amongst themselves, distributing areas to be looked after.
They still stay in the Elf Quarters in my Castle though, so they still technically work for me. But, I will soon be ready to completely cure them. I know exactly how to do it, but I'm just waiting till the number of Elves on Sanctuary is high enough.

Around 6 months after I became the guardian of the Britannia Sanctum, I get my first visitor. It was the middle of the night, around 2 AM or so, and I was sleeping when the Perimeter Ward going off woke me up.
Someone Magical had crossed the Perimeter Ward line, with the aim of coming towards the Sanctum. And their intentions were not good, nope.
Sighing, I get off the bed and cast a single spell to freshen up with the wave of my hand. My hair settles down, my mouth freshens up, and my body becomes odourless, as I simply appear in a balcony above the welcoming hall, to wait for the Magical person.
The Master Ward in the Sanctum gave complete control over this Sanctum to the Sanctum Master. I can summon anything from anywhere if it was in the Sanctum, I can teleport anywhere I want with barely a moment of time passing, and I can sense where everyone who is inside the Sanctum is.
There is no hiding from me inside the Sanctum.
It takes around 5 minutes for the person to approach the door, and I hear them whisper an advanced unlocking spell on the lock, in latin. So.. a Mage, then.
Obviously, it fails, but I unlock the door anyway, with a simple command through the Master Ward. Thinking the spell to be successful, the person slowly pushes the door open, careful not to make noise, and walks in.
I lean on the balcony rails, and observe the woman, and it is a woman I notice. While the person wore a long, loose robe, that made identifying the gender a tough task, there were subtle movements above the chest thanks to the swinging tits. And I can smell her gender, so there's that.
Sounds creepy, doesn't it?
Anyway, the black robe she was wearing also covered her head, which means she's definitely not here for anything good.
As she starts looking around the welcoming hall, I observe her from the balcony, just waiting to see what she wants to achieve. Bringing her wand out, she points it at the ground, and whispers, "Requaero Bibliotheca!"
Okay, that's it.
Before her spell can succeed, I appear in front of her, startling the woman into taking a few steps back. "What.. do you think you are doing.. Mage?"
The spell she had just cast was one I knew fairly well, since it was what the Point Me spell had evolved from. The Requaero Charm pulls the wand towards whatever you are seeking, guiding the Wand holder to that item, or place. And this woman was looking for the Library.
The woman glares at me, and snarls, "Nothing that concerns you, Sorcerer! Go back to wherever you came from, and leave me to my task. I will leave once I am done, and you won't be bothered by my presence any more than necessary."
"Nothing that concerns me? You break into my home, start seeking out my Library, and you believe that this doesn't concern me? Now, I give you one chance to answer, before you will be thrown out.. with prejudice." I say, all the while standing calmly in front of her.
I see the woman's nose flare, as she angers at my words, and then, the woman raises her wand, to point it at me. I start walking forward, and step to the side when a brown curse exits out of her wand tip, and flies towards me.
Within 5 steps, after dodging just three curses, I appear in front of the woman, and slam my palm into her forehead, forcing my Telepathy to tear through her mental barriers.
What I find is exactly what I expected.
A woman who wanted to rule the world, become its immortal Queen, after making a Deal with a demon. She didn't know how to contact a Demon, however, and so, she began searching for the Sanctum, knowing that Sorcerers have such knowledge.
And so, she planned to steal knowledge from the Sanctum, so she can contact a Demon, become a champion to them, and take over the world in the Demon's name.
Fucking idiot.
Taking my hand off her head, I erase all her memories of having even heard about Demons, or the Sanctum, and knock her out. As she starts falling down, now unconscious, I create a portal underneath her and send the woman to her house, in North Ireland.
This woman is.. something else altogether. She's unhinged, but unfortunately for me, she hasn't committed any serious crime yet. Oh sure, she's killed a dozen or so people, but she was assaulted by every one of them first, most of them with sexual intentions in mind.
But.. that said, I don't trust her mind to heal enough, which is why I didn't send her to Kamar Taj. I just made her forget about Sorcerers, Demons, and Mystic Arts, so she doesn't come looking for the knowledge again.
Well, she's gone now. I'll just.. go back to sleep.

A year and a half later, I was sitting in my Library, working over a piece of Parchment, calculating. "No, this won't work. The power itself would tear me apart." I mumble, scratching it off and conjuring another parchment to begin from the top.
Runes are drawn, calculations made, and finally, after 3 months of continuously working on this, my spell was ready. I hope.
From the Nowhere, I bring a thick tome out, Enchanted by yours truly to have infinite pages, and to never run out. The book itself, however, was completely empty of anything literary. It was just an empty book that was around 4 inches thick, and as large as the Darkhold.
Floating the tome behind me, I start walking towards the centre of the Library, and bring something else out of Nowhere. An ink pot, and a ½ inch brush, made completely out of Unicorn hair, bound to a porcupine quill.
Once at the centre, right above the Trapdoor that leads to the Ward Control Pillar, in fact, I stop and kneel down. With the brush and ink, I draw an exact circle with a diameter of 13 inches, and start drawing seven tiny Runic arrays around it. Once done, I place the empty Tome in the centre of the Circle, and take a step back.
From the Nowhere, I summon my (Mopane, Dragon Heartstring core, with a Magic Silver dipped Basilisk Eye) Staff, and gently tap the butt on the ground.
The Staff's butt, not mine.
From the Staff, a wave of Magic is emitted as it flows outside. It stops at the Library walls, and then disappears, with no hint of it having ever appeared, remaining out in the world. The Runic Scheme glows white, and I smile, at my Spell succeeding.
If any normal man were to see, including Wizards, then the spell had failed, with nothing happening. But, for Sorcerers.. it wasn't so. And a single peek into the Astral Plane made me understand that yes, my spell was succeeding.
Ghosts of books, their Astral copies, were being let out of the physical book bodies, and sucked towards the large infinite tome left on the floor. Hundreds of Astral books would fly towards the Tome, and then return back to their spots. Meanwhile, nothing happened in the Physical world.
It takes 15 minutes, until the last Astral Book returns to its physical body, and only then do I move from the spot. Approaching the Tome still on the ground, I pick it up, wincing when I feel how hot it had become, and gently open it up to its first page.
And then, I smile, looking at the index page. All the other pages are empty, however, and they won't show anything until I actually call for a book.
"Journal number one of Sorcerer Supreme Pythagoras of Samos." I whisper, while placing my hand on the index page. Immediately, the book flashes with a white colour, and now in front of me, is the first page of the book I had called for.
This.. is going to make my life as a Knowledge thief very easy.
15 minutes to suck in all knowledge within a room, condense it within a single tome, and only those who can see within the Astral Plane know something is happening. Damn, I really should have figured this out earlier.
Suddenly, I hear the Perimeter Ward go off once again, the first time since I kicked the Witch out. After hiding my new Compressed Tome in the Nowhere, I appear on the balcony to wait for the person to approach, wanting to first see what actions they take.
Surprisingly, the person just knocks on the door, and waits. Curious, I wave my hand to unlock the door, and open it up. And then, I slowly float down the stairs, which coincidentally are right in front of the door, and see a man in his thirties, looking at me wide eyed.
Shaking his shock at my flight show off, he looks around, and asks, "Is.. is this.. the Britannia Sanctum for Sorcerers?"
"No, this is actually the Han Dynasty Sanctum." I say, completely straight faced.
The man's eyes drop, a bit disappointed. He sighs, and says, "Well, sorry for wasting your time. Can you point me towards the Britannia Sanctum, please?"
Well now I feel bad for messing with him.
"This is the Britannia Sanctum, I was just having a jest. Come on in, how can I help you?" I say, and wave him in.
What? He's actually polite! I'm not going to Mind rape someone if he's actually polite with me. I have manners.
..Some of them.
The man blinks, and widens his eyes as he starts walking in. He then asks, "You're the man who made the Dark Witch Morgause flee!?"
Morgause, now that's a name I'd almost forgotten. She had tried breaking into the Sanctum to steal from my Library around 18 months ago.
I frown, and say, "Actually I knocked her out and sent her back home. How the hell did you even know about that?"
I'm pretty sure I completely erased her memories, I'm sure I did. And I didn't tell anyone what had happened with the woman. Except for Master Ayesha, but she's literally my Sorcerer Supreme.
So.. how did this man know?
He bows to me, slamming his sword down into the ground. As I manipulate my Prati Kavach to cover my arm, ready to defend myself if necessary, the man says, "Please, Master Sorcerer! I need your help to defeat the Witch! She killed my entire family, and has held my wife hostage! My wife.. she's with a child, my Lord! Please, help me!"
I scowl, now regretting my decision of not killing the crime-less Witch, Morgause.
Sighing once again, I teleport both of us to a Sitting room, already seated on the chairs, and say, "Start from the beginning, and don't leave anything out."

A/N: I won't write Romance every chapter, because it'll get really boring real soon. And a story focused on Romance, when the story is not supposed to be, ruins the chances of it being completed.
Currently, Tatiana is still learning at Kamar Taj, so don't expect her to show up permanently in Mason's life for another year or two, except for some visits.
The Spell has no name, but it is one I had made early on in Mason's life in the previous book. It compresses all the knowledge inside a room and keeps it inside a single Tome. Currently, the Tome just stores the knowledge, and Mason just needs to summon it forward. But, later he will improve it, making it sort by subject or something.
Now, Prati Kavach. It was inspired by Karna's armour, as well as that Talisman from the movie, Transformers: The Last Knight.
Like the Talisman, it can move around his body, but right now it can only happen when Mason wants it to happen. It can cover his arm into a Gauntlet, up to his shoulder, that looks like Colossus's arm in his metal form, only made of the Gold-like metal. Or like the Destroyer, which is also pretty similar.
The Prati Kavach can also cover his head in an Armoured helmet that looks like the Destroyer's head, but it doesn't inhibit Mason's senses even a little bit. Magic, eh?
It can cover his chest, or his back, or one of his limbs, or his head. But it will not cover everything at once. It's also not too durable, and will probably only survive a few hits from Hulk, Thanos, Thor, Hela, Ikaris, Gilgamesh, or Mjolnir. If that.
Sorcery, obviously, will definitely have some spell to get around it.
And Stormbreaker will probably cut through, and so will Hofund, Gungnir, and whatever the fuck Hela's swords are made of. Depending on my mood when writing it.
I haven't had Mason reforge it in this chapter, because it's too soon. Relics are bound to be difficult to destroy, or melt, and he will need a lot of preparations before he can do that.
Hope you enjoyed this chapter! Thank you for your support! Tata!
