The Villain Boss Personally Gives Me a Cheat Skill!

In Kaecilius's meditation room, an icy chill that warned strangers away permeated the air.

With both hands behind his back, he looked Raine up and down, his gaze almost tangible.

Being watched by a future villain boss like this...

To be honest, Raine did feel somewhat uneasy.

However, he wasn't worried that Kaecilius would make a move against him right now.

Before he was bewitched by Dormammu's Dark Power, Kaecilius was absolutely an exemplary, model employee of Kamar-Taj.

He had led teams on the front lines year-round, fighting alien fiends and earning countless military achievements.

If not for his overwhelming obsession after losing his wife and children, and the collapse of his faith after discovering that The Ancient One had been secretly siphoning power from the Dark Dimension...

He should have become Kamar-Taj's greatest Sorcerer Supreme after The Ancient One.

But history had no ifs.

Facing a big shot destined to turn evil, staying vigilant was a must.

"You seem rather nervous?"

Kaecilius suddenly spoke, his voice low.

"This is my first time meeting Master Kaecilius, so I'm a little excited."

Raine quickly adjusted his state, his tone respectful.

The corner of Kaecilius's mouth lifted into an almost imperceptible cold smile. He seemed to have seen through Raine's disguise, but didn't expose him.

"Relax."

"I know you're Wong's apprentice, but I won't do anything to you."

Kaecilius walked over and sat down in a chair, his posture arrogant.

"I called you here merely to prove one thing to those mediocre fools at Kamar-Taj."

"Not only can I trample them beneath my feet on the battlefield..."

"When it comes to teaching apprentices, I can crush them just as easily!"

Hearing this extremely arrogant declaration,

Raine inwardly muttered, So, I've become a tool for two big shots to compete over who's better.

Still, Raine didn't really mind.

Being a tool while getting to freeload a god-tier Spell was a deal that could only make money!

Kaecilius didn't take Raine's so-called title of "genius" seriously at all.

In his eyes, it was merely those sheltered old fellows at Kamar-Taj hyping themselves up.

Back then, he had been praised in exactly the same way.

Real gold feared no fire. Whether something was a mule or a horse would be clear once it was brought out for a walk.

"Since we're being frank, then study with all your heart."

Kaecilius's gaze sharpened. "Strive to master what I teach you in the shortest possible time."

"I believe that when Wong sees you perform my unique technique, his expression will be quite spectacular."

Raine obediently nodded.

"Very good. Desire is the only driving force behind a Sorcerer's continuous growth."

Kaecilius was highly satisfied with Raine's obedience and began instilling his radical ideology.

"Only by maintaining sufficient yearning can you break free of convention's shackles and obtain even greater power!"

If Wong or The Ancient One heard these words, they would definitely rebuke him on the spot for falling into the path of evil.

But Raine didn't care in the slightest.

Who cares whether it's the righteous path or the evil path? As long as it can max out my skill level, it's a good path!

"Watch closely. I'll demonstrate it once first."

Kaecilius stopped wasting words. He stood up, extended the fingers of his right hand like a sword, and lightly slashed through the empty space before him.

Crack--

The air shattered like tempered glass struck by a heavy blow, instantly splitting into countless cracks that reflected fantastical colors.

Raine's pupils narrowed slightly.

Although this was also the opening move for the Mirror Dimension,

his horizons were no longer narrow. Combined with the mutated Multiple Mirror Dimensions he had mastered, he saw the trick behind it at a glance.

The edges of the spatial cracks Kaecilius had cut open weren't smooth and crystal-like.

Instead, they were covered in imperceptible serrations. Every Spatial Fragment radiated a razor-sharp aura that made one's hair stand on end!

This wasn't merely spatial isolation. It was the complete manifestation of Spatial Law as a weapon of slaughter!

"Can you tell what's special about it?" Kaecilius glanced sidelong at Raine.

"Master's Magic is far more dangerous than an ordinary Mirror Dimension, and it carries an extremely destructive force."

"But I'm still too inexperienced to see through its specific energy structure." Raine answered honestly. Half of it was true, and half was to conceal his abilities.

A trace of disappointment flashed through Kaecilius's eyes when he heard this.

With this level of comprehension, he dares call himself a genius?

Back when he had observed advanced Spell in front of The Ancient One, he had been able to see through the core logic at a glance.

It seemed the rumors had indeed been exaggerated.

How boring.

Kaecilius felt somewhat listless, and his tone turned colder.

"Your powers of observation are barely passing."

"Now I'll teach you this Spell. How much you can comprehend will depend on your own fortune."

The instant his voice fell,

Kaecilius suddenly thrust his right hand into the shattered space.

As though plucking a leaf from a tree, he actually tore a long, narrow Spatial Fragment out of the void by force!

The fragment rapidly solidified in his hand, transforming into a completely transparent blade with a cold, ghostly radiance flickering along its edge!

Space Blade!

Raine could even sense the air around the blade being continuously cut and torn apart by an invisible force!

This method was simply inconceivable!

To fold and compress the ethereal nature of space into a tangible weapon—such abnormal control was rare even throughout the entire Marvel Universe.

No wonder this guy would later be able to remain at ease while being hunted by The Ancient One.

Kaecilius casually flourished the blade in his hand. The transparent blade nearly blended into the air.

"When mental power compresses Spatial Law to its extreme, space itself becomes the most indestructible weapon!"

Kaecilius flicked his wrist.

Whoosh!

The transparent blade instantly left his hand, transforming into a streak of light that struck a thick ironwood support pillar in the center of the meditation room.

There was no earth-shaking explosion.

There wasn't even a sound.

That century-old ironwood, whose hardness rivaled steel, had actually been cut in half without a sound.

The cut was as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been precisely sliced by a laser.

Raine sucked in a cold breath.

That penetrating power!

His level-6 Magic Shield, which he was so proud of, would probably be no better than paper in front of this thing.

"Listen carefully. I'll only explain it once."

Kaecilius began explaining the techniques for compressing energy. His tone was mechanical, clearly not expecting Raine to understand immediately.

However,

he had no idea what was happening inside Raine's mind.

[Ping!]

[The host listened to the teachings of a top-tier slaughter mage and successfully comprehended the Spell: Space Blade!]

[The host is enveloped by Kaecilius's "War Frenzy Aura"!]

[The cultivation efficiency of all offensive Magic has increased by 300%!]

[Ping!]

[Your "Space Blade" has been infected by the fervent atmosphere. Your battle intent is boiling, and you have directly entered a state of extreme enlightenment!]

[Congratulations, host. "Space Blade" has jumped two levels and reached level 2!]

Listening to the passionate notification sounds in his mind, which rang out like war drums,

Raine kept his head firmly lowered.

He was afraid that if he raised his head, the wildly upward-curving corners of his mouth would drive this arrogant villain boss mad on the spot.
