Aaron, who was pulled away by Erin, thought something major was happening.
Unexpectedly, Erin simply handed him a magic book, warned him to be cautious of a woman named Amora, and then left.
"Amora? That name sounds so familiar…"
"Could it be her?"
Aaron thought for a moment, and some information about the Enchantress Amora surfaced in his memory.
The Enchantress's reputation was no small matter.
As a master of psychic magic, Amora wasn't respected like Erin but instead inspired more fear.
Regardless of men or women, as long as they knew Amora's nickname, it was impossible not to be wary.
Men feared Amora would control them, while women feared she'd charm their men.
Thinking of Erin's warning to be careful of Amora…
Could the Enchantress be targeting me?
Aaron felt a headache coming on.
He had only just started learning magic, and the spells he'd mastered were few. He had no magic to resist psychic influence.
Against Amora, he probably wouldn't last a single round.
She'd take him down the moment they met!
But he wasn't worried that Amora would actually harm him.
Otherwise, Erin wouldn't have just given a warning.
And this was Asgard—Odin was still alive. Amora wouldn't dare step out of line.
Fortunately, the magic book Erin gave him was just what he needed to address this urgent problem.
"Is it magic to resist psychic charm?"
"It seems I need to put other plans on hold and learn this magic first."
Flipping through the magic book, he found the spell he needed most right now: Mind Barrier Magic.
Once practiced, it could create a mental shield in the brain.
It could resist bewitchment and control on a psychic level.
This magic was very difficult to master, but its effects were relatively niche since it couldn't be used for offense or to block physical damage.
It wasn't very effective against direct psychic attacks either.
And in all of Asgard, there were very few mages who specialized in psychic charm magic.
Men didn't need to charm their enemies—they preferred reaping lives with spears and axes.
Women, meanwhile, also had the hearts of warriors and disdained using charm to achieve their goals.
Among this small group of psychic charm mages, the most famous were the Enchantress sisters.
One was imprisoned in a dungeon, while the other was monitored by female mages at the Magic Academy.
Moreover, since most mages in Asgard were female, very few people bothered learning this magic.
If it weren't for the imminent threat of facing Amora, Aaron would rather spend this time improving his energy absorption.
Aaron found a spot to sit on the floor and entered study mode.
[You performed the Mind Barrier Magic once seriously and gained a little insight. Your Mind Barrier Magic proficiency +1]
[You performed the Mind Barrier Magic once seriously…]
Soon, the Mind Barrier Magic reached LV2.
But then a problem arose.
Because he'd used magic so many times, his magical energy was completely depleted.
There was no energy left to continue improving the Mind Barrier Magic.
A mere LV2 Mind Barrier—Aaron wasn't confident it could resist the infamous Enchantress.
According to Erin and Fandral, someone who could be called a master in a field had to at least reach peak LV3 or even LV4 in that area.
Since Amora was known as a master of psychic magic, an LV2 Mind Barrier wouldn't stand a chance.
But at that moment, Aaron, who had a master-level grasp of illusion magic, noticed he was surrounded by an illusion.
The person capable of creating such a high-level illusion was most likely Erin.
Clearly, Erin had anticipated that Aaron would need time to recover his magic and learn psychic magic, so she'd set up this barrier before leaving.
It was to keep Amora from finding him too soon.
Seeing this, Aaron felt completely at ease and began restoring his magic power.
Outside the illusion,
Amora cautiously followed the traces of Erin and Aaron.
But as she tracked them, they vanished!
"Where did they go?"
"I was clearly following them—how could I lose them?"
Confused, Amora quickly realized it was illusion magic.
"Erin… I didn't expect you'd go this far to keep Aaron away from me."
"But how long can you hide him from me?"
"It's just illusion magic. Do you really think that because you're a master of illusion, no one can break it?"
Amora smirked coldly, a look of defiance on her beautiful face.
She was indeed a master of psychic magic, but her skill in illusion magic wasn't far behind.
It was just that outsiders feared her charm more and overlooked her other magical talents.
So, while Aaron intensified his magic training within the illusion, Amora worked to crack it from the outside.
More than an hour later,
"Hahaha, it's just illusion magic? That's all it is!"
"Erin, you lose!"
"I've seen through your trick!"
"A mere master of illusion? Hmph!"
Amora strutted forward with a proud, cat-like gait, calmly navigating the illusion. Soon, she passed through the illusory outer layer and entered the real inner space.
As soon as she stepped in, she saw Aaron sitting alone on the ground.
As for Erin, she was nowhere to be seen.
No one was guarding him?
Seeing this, Amora couldn't hide her smile.
"Hehehe, little genius, your sister Amora is here…"
