114 Rank 10 Magus (2/2)

”Your words have moved me. In light of that I will take you on as my apprentice”.

Zane's words made everyone in the room go silent. Seraphine and Ragnar thought that they heard wrong. They were sure in their hearts Zane would have torn off Desmond's head at one point or at least pulled out his heart a couple of times. Desmond on the other hand was shocked that his spur of the moment request actually got him what he wanted. For a second Desmond also believed that was a symbol that his luck was turning around.

Zane not wanting to damage his student (property) any more than he has to gently tossed Desmond on the floor. Zane's accepting Desmond, so easily made Seraphine feel uneasy, but because of her deal with Zane all she could do at the moment was watch.

Zane looked at Desmond's pathetic form on the floor and said to him, ”you requesting to be my pupal is like an outer branch member in a large clan skipping ahead of everyone in front of him including the core disciples of a clan. The ones with actual skill, then kneeling in front of a clan elder expecting him to teach you all that he knows.

In other words your request was insane and stupid. Two qualities that are very much needed to become my disciple”.

Zane's words irked Desmond, irritated Desmond said to Zane, ”I am not stupid”

”Yes you are and it is that stupidity that has gotten you this far, so rejoice for you have a long journey ahead of you.

Now, If you truly want to become my disciple then you must swear to me that you will conceal all my secrets as if they were your own. Swear that you will defend your masters honor, support your master when he is in need, be unwavering in your pursuit of immortality”.

Desmond listened to Zane's rant about the things he was suppose to swear to and didn't like any of them.

”Hell no, I'm not swearing to any of that stuff. Conceal all your secrets fine I have no problem with that. Swear to defend your honor fuck no, I am not going to die defending your honor. Who knows how many people want you dead all of which I'm betting are a whole lot stronger then me. I could defend your honor all day and I would still make no progress. As for supporting you when you are in need anything that you need help on is definitely out of my league. Your already getting bits of my soul stop trying to turn me into a slave.

As for the whole immortality thing I honestly don't care about immortality. Its not my goal reaching the pinnacle of magic is my goal. What in the world am I going to do if I become immortal and can not die. I think I I will just spend my time seeking death”.

Zane could accept Desmond not becoming his lap dog, but a mage not pursuing immortality is something he couldn't stand. Just as fast as before Zane slapped Desmond to the floor then he stepped on his head. Desmond felt as though Zane's foot weighed a thousand tons it was im possible for Desmond to slip out.

Without emotion Zane said, ”if you don't want to swear to what I said then fine, but not persuing immortality is a deal breaker. Cultivators go against heaven and the earth while mages seek to understand it. Once a person becomes an immortal their eyes will be open to the secrets that have alluded them and everyone for, so long. Unless you become an immortal you will never reach the pinnacle of magic that you seek.

As for your worry of not dying there is no reason to have it because immortals can die just by the hands of other immortals. You might be confused of that part, so let me explain Rank 9 immortality does not imply biological immortality. True immortality is when you understand the laws of both time and space pushing you into the realm of immortals were you can construct your own personal law with all the knowledge that you have gathered that even the very universe will have to follow.

I risked my life for that little bit of information you should be thankful that I gave it to you for free”.

While Desmond head felt like it was going to explode he also felt as though he was enlightened. Zane was an asshole Desmond knew that, but he knew his stuff and above all loved magic.

Desmond knew for sure Zane was the best kind of teacher for Desmond to have if he wanted to survive in Theotera and become a true mage.

Wanting to be enlightened once more Desmond said, ”I am indeed thankful, but I must know why are their only 9 ranks is their a higher realm then immortal.

Zane blew out a puff of smoke then gave Desmond his reply, ”Indeed there is”.

Wide eyed and curious Desmond asked ”what is it?”.

”its more of a joke then something actual obtainable”.

”I still want to know”

Zane's reply wasn't what Desmond was expecting, but it made complete sense”.

”Your inside of it right now. Rank 10 Magus is The Universe”.

Everything that you see, eat, drink, breath. Everything that you are, everything that you were, everything that ever will be is Rank 10. There can only be one thoughts of reaching such a hight it is nothing more than a fools dream.
