Chapter 053 Can You Pick This Up Too?

Kama Taj, Training Ground

By the time Luo Bai and Wang arrived at the training ground, the mages had already begun their training.

Modu was guiding the students while the more experienced mages stood aside, observing.

Seeing Luo Bai approach, Modu came over to greet him. "Supreme Mage, King."

"Yeah," Luo Bai nodded.

Before he could say more, the senior mages stepped forward to greet Luo Bai one by one.

After exchanging polite words, Luo Bai and the others began watching the training of the sect's mages.

Of course, this was merely a façade.

In reality, Luo Bai was searching for the intruder.

Using energy fluctuations, he quickly located the uninvited guest.

At that moment, the mage was hiding among the entry-level students, practicing with them.

"Supreme Mage, have you found the intruder?" Wang asked in a low voice.

Luo Bai nodded and replied, "Third row, fourth from the left."

Following the cue, Wang quickly spotted the intruder, which left him even more confused.

"She broke into Kama Taj pretending to be an apprentice? It's too easy to be exposed! Modu conducts these apprentice training sessions every day; it will soon be obvious that she is not a mage of Kama Taj," Wang remarked.

In fact, Luo Bai couldn't understand why either.

The only explanation he could think of was that the mage didn't want to hide at all.

To be more precise, she might simply want Luo Bai to notice her.

Just as he was pondering this, Modu realized something was wrong.

Among the apprentices was a new face he had never seen before.

"Who are you?!" Modu demanded, stepping in front of the intruder. "Why have I never seen you before?!"

The intruder smiled sinisterly before answering, "My name is Agatha."

Kama Taj's library contained information about many mages, including Agatha.

She was one of the most powerful witches on Earth, and her strength was terrifying.

So when Modu heard the name "Agatha," his expression shifted dramatically.

"Agatha? The witch?! What are you doing here at Kama Taj?" Mordo asked.

"Hahahaha! Of course, I'm here to see who the Ancient One has chosen to be the Supreme Mage!" Agatha replied, grinning.

As she spoke, a powerful black and purple magic aura enveloped her entire body, and soon Agatha reverted to her original witch appearance.

Though she appeared to be a middle-aged woman in her forties, Agatha was actually a ten-thousand-year-old witch. She used special methods to delay her aging, allowing her to maintain a youthful appearance. Otherwise, she would likely resemble a classic old witch; after all, she had the nickname "the Old Witch."

Agatha's appearance shocked all the mages present.

Everyone knew her intentions were anything but benign.

In fact, she was definitely not a "kind" mage; her philosophy starkly contrasted with that of Kama Taj.

To many mages at Kama Taj, practicing black magic was strictly forbidden.

But Agatha didn't care. As long as it benefited her, she would learn it.

Because of this, Agatha was labeled an "evil witch" by the mages of Kama Taj.

Evil intentions often come with a purpose.

Realizing this, Modu shouted, "All mages, prepare for battle!"

In an instant, all the mages of Kama Taj assumed fighting stances, setting up their magic circles, ready for war.

Luo Bai knew that even if all the mages combined their strength, they wouldn't be able to defeat Agatha.

So he immediately issued an order: "Modu, you take the mages and continue practicing."

Modu was taken aback.

"Continue practicing?"

Worried, Mordo replied, "Supreme Mage, Agatha is an evil witch. She must have malicious intentions for coming to Kama Taj!"

Luo Bai responded calmly, "I understand; she won't disturb you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the mirror dimension opened.

A powerful force enveloped the entire Kama Taj, isolating the space completely.

With the mirror dimension activated, only Luo Bai and Agatha remained in that realm.

"Mirror dimension? Yes, yes. It's impressive that you can reach such a level at such a young age. I thought there would be no one left after the Ancient One departed, but I didn't expect someone as talented as you to remain," Agatha said, looking around with a smile.

She showed no trace of fear; instead, she seemed indifferent.

Glancing disdainfully at the mirror dimension, she continued to taunt, "Child, you don't think this mirror dimension can contain me, do you? If so, you must think I'm weak."

Luo Bai shook his head, replying calmly, "No. I opened the mirror space to prevent Kama Taj from being affected."

Before Agatha could react, Luo Bai silently recited a spell in his mind and summoned the form of Ikeen. In an instant, countless duplicates emerged, filling the entire mirror dimension.

He controlled all the duplicates and unleashed the Ring of Raggador.

At the moment of release, a red circular magic shield materialized in the hands of countless duplicates, which then followed Luo Bai's lead and attacked Agatha.

Seeing the first wave of attack, Agatha quickly responded, engaging in a fierce battle with Luo Bai's duplicates.

It's no wonder they called her a ten-thousand-year-old witch.

She easily dealt with Luo Bai's countless duplicates, even finding time to say, "These melee magic spells of your Kama Taj pose no threat to me at all. Don't you have the 'Book of Darkness'? Come on, kid. Use the power of the Book of Darkness against me."

Agatha said with a strange smile.

Honestly, if Luo Bai hadn't understood the plot and known that Agatha could absorb magical energy, he might have been fooled.

As one of the most powerful witches on Earth, Agatha certainly possessed formidable abilities.

Although the book didn't detail Agatha's specific powers, Luo Bai, who was familiar with the plot, did.

Agatha could not only resist most magical attacks but could also absorb magical energy.

Thus, melee magic would be far more effective against her.

Of course, Agatha's strength stemmed from one key factor: she had studied the "Book of Darkness."

From her tentative words earlier, Luo Bai could roughly guess her intentions.

She had come to Kama Taj to retrieve the "Book of Darkness."

Thinking of this, Luo Bai responded while attacking, "It seems you already know that the Dark God Book is with me."

Mentioning "The Book of Darkness," Agatha clearly became excited. "Of course, that is my book! I've always treasured it! But one day, it just disappeared! I searched for it for a long time and finally found it; it turns out it was stolen by you!"

"Stolen? No, no, no. I picked up that book. Besides, that book isn't yours either," Luo Bai replied calmly.

Agatha: "??? What do you mean you picked it up? That book has been with me for hundreds of years, and you're telling me you just picked it up???"
