"Before you learn magic, you must first understand the nature of magic." Before formally teaching Luke magic, Frigga began to tell him about the nature of magic in this world.
"In the world we live in, magical energy has an owner. Whether using black magic, white magic, or magic from other dimensions, we need to borrow the energy from the owner. The source of white magic is the Trinity Vishanti, who is also the source of power for the lineage of the Supreme Sorcerors of Midgard."
"The source of black magic is the ancient god of black magic, Chthon . He is chaotic and evil. It is said that he once left the Darkhold written by himself in the atrium. Even many demon gods in many dimensions have borrowed power from him."
"As for the magic in other dimensions, they are controlled by the demon gods that dominate the dimensions, such as Dormammu in the dark dimension and Mephisto in the hell dimension."
"There is a price to pay for using magic. The more power you borrow, the greater the backlash you will suffer in the end, especially for black magic and certain dimensional magic."
…
As a half-Marvel fan in his previous life, Luke naturally had some understanding of the magic in the Marvel world. The person who knows this lending game best is Ancient One on Earth, even though her boss is Vishanti.
However, in order to ensure that she would not die before the next Supreme Sorcerer grew up. So she borrowed dark energy from Dormammu in the dark dimension to maintain her own life.
However, her way of lending is no different from robbery, as she has not obtained the permission of Dormammu, the master of the dimension.
Even when Dormammu, as a creditor, wanted to take revenge on her, he was beaten by her. It was not enough for her to beat him up herself, she also asked her student Doctor Strange to continue beating him up.
What can Dormammu do when he feels wronged? He can only swallow his anger.
Therefore, Luke did not take too much to heart what Frigga said about the cost of using magic. After all, magic is just a tool for him to overcome his own shortcomings.
He has no intention to use it as the main source. Besides, as long as the strength is strong enough, it is no big deal to beat those so-called dimensional demon gods.
When it comes to combat power and growth potential, the ancient Kryptonian bloodline is not weak at all.
Moreover, his greatest power is the system that can bring him endless surprises.
"But you don't have to worry. Asgard and Vanaheim are two of the nine realms on the World Tree. The magic energy we use comes directly from the World Tree. And the World Tree has no self-awareness, so it will not have any impact on those who borrow its energy, so you can rest assured."
As if seeing that Luke hadn't said anything, Frigga immediately smiled and comforted him. Indeed, compared to some sources of magic that cost life, health or soul, the World Tree is an exception.
Borrowing and not returning is fair and aboveboard, and you don't need to have an incredible background to do so.
However, the magical energy of the World Tree can only be used by creatures born in the Nine Realms. This may be the preferential treatment for our own people.
"Lady Frigga, I'm not worried. I'm just thinking about how to communicate with the magical energy of the World Tree." Although Luke was also a dragon born in Vanaheim, he did not have even a single bit of so-called inherited memory in his mind.
"Don't worry about that. I have a small branch of the World Tree here, which was left when Odin forged Gungnir."
"Although a section of its handle was used up when forging Mjolnir, there was still a little left. You can communicate with the World Tree through this branch." As she spoke, Frigga took it out, and it was indeed a small piece.
It was about the size of half her palm. It was so small that Luke felt that any toothpick he picked up would be several times bigger than it.
So, looking at Frigga's outstretched palm, Luke felt that it was not right for him to extend his claws, nor was it right for him not to extend his claws.
Just when Luke was feeling a little embarrassed, Frigga also noticed Luke's predicament.
"You see, I've said so much, but I forgot the most important question. Regarding shrinking your size, let me think about it. Odin's grandfather, the God King Buri, seems to have created such a spell."
"It's just that I don't have much knowledge about that spell. But don't worry. In Asgard's library, there are books collected by successive God Kings over the past thousands of years. Some secret magic can also be found in them."
"Tomorrow, I will personally go to the library and bring back the magic book that contains that spell. So, let's stop learning here tonight." Frigga looked at Luke and said.
"Thank you, Lady Frigga. I wonder if you could cast a few more spells like the one you just cast on me, preferably spells that would last the entire night. I want to test the limits of what my body can endure." At this time, Luke made his request to Frigga.
"Are you sure you want me to do this? That spell just now should be enough to make you realize how weak your body's resistance to magic is, if I cast a few more spells, I don't think you will have a good night." Frigga couldn't help but hesitate when she heard Luke' request.
She herself knows best the spells she uses. Although it is not a fatal spell, it is definitely not pleasant to have a series of negative effects applied to you.
"Please, LadyFrigga." Luke was already deeply touched by his weak state just now. The reason why he wants to try to use his body to resist these spells is also to do an experiment.
That means he will have to face tomorrow's sun while facing all these debuff spells. Under the sun's radiation, he doesn't know whether his body can temporarily eliminate the effects of these spells.
"Since you insist so much, I have no reason to refuse. I hope you have a great night." Frigga looked at Luke and couldn't help but feel a little mischievous.
Hmm! It's hard to say that Loki becoming the God of Mischief has nothing to do with his mother and teacher.
After agreeing to Luke's request, Frigga raised her hands and began to cast a spell. Each gesture represents a spell, and in this short period of time, more than thirty debuff spells were inflicted on Luke.
Moreover, Frigga didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. The spells continued to stack up, and finally stopped when it reached fifty-five.
Frigga felt a little overwhelmed after casting so many spells in a row, but her eyes showed some excitement.
At this moment, Luke felt that his body had become extremely heavy, and endless fatigue came over him like a tide. Not only his body, but even his spirit became weak. The originally shiny black scales on his body turned dull.
However, this was within his expectations. After all, he could get a glimpse of it from the initial weakening spell.
He was about to leave with some difficulty when Frigga called him.
"If you don't mind, you can rest outside my bedroom tonight. When you can't hold on any longer, I can remove the spell for you at any time." Frigga looked at Luke, staggering like an old dragon on his last legs, and couldn't help but speak.
"No need. Good night, Lady Frigga." Luke refused and went away. This was his own request. He would hold on even if he had to kneel.
