"What happened? Don't recognize me?" John asked Mordo and Wang whose spells were still activated.
"You are really John Jameson? What is this new thing?" Mordo asked.
"Well now I finally know magic. So I came to pay the ancient one a visit. Don't worry I am not here to attack or something." John said. Mordo and Wang who had known John from beginning believed him even though they didn't understand where John got magical knowledge as Kamar Taj was the only source of magical knowledge.
Both of them deactivated their magic and other followed him. John didn't look evil in anyway but they were just surprised that John now had access to magic too. Kaecilius too was present when John had arrived. His eyes twinkled as he thought of something looking at John.
"The ancient one is inside. You can go in." Mordo said as he followed John. He was curious about the helmet so he went to the main hall inside. Mordo could also tell that the golden cloak and even the amulet of John were magical items.
John walked right in to see the Ancient One standing and waiting for him. She saw the floating helmet for quite sometime and even at John's other two magical items without saying anything.
"Are you not going to say something?" John finally couldn't hold himself and asked.
"Can you control the power?" She finally asked.
"Yes. Nabu you can speak with her." John said.
"Hello sorcerer. I am Nabu, the last Lord of Order." a voice from helmet said. Mordo was taken aback as he had never seen a magical item speak but the Ancient One looked clam as if expecting that the helmet could speak.
"Are you the God that had been directing him from behind the scenes?" the Ancient One asked directly.
"No, the power behind John is more powerful. I am not sure who or what is the power behind but that entity seems to be very powerful." Nabu said as John had directed him to lie.
"I understand. Well John how does it feel to be on the magic side?" the Ancient One asked.
"It's more amazing than I realized. The helmet has immense power than even I didn't expect." John said.
"Yes. I can feel the immense magic power inside it. So your name is Nabu. Nice to meet you." The ancient One finally greeted Nabu.
"Nice to meet you too." Nabu replied.
"Mordo do you want to have a duel with me?" John asked Mordo as he saw Mordo still being interested.
"Can I?" Mordo asked as he was interested. Even the Ancient One was interested.
"Why not? We can battle in the mirror dimension." John said as he put on the helmet. John then directly opened the mirror dimension with the wave of his hand as he already had all of the knowledge.
John and Mordo went inside followed by the Ancient One.
"You don't have the sling ring to go outside of mirror dimension." Mordo reminded.
"I don't need it Mordo. The helmet provides all the powers." John said.
"Wow. That must be really convenient." Mordo said as he activated his staff and his boots. John on the other hand waved his hands changing the whole surrounding according to his need while levitating.
"You can fold space and matter so easily?" Mordo was surprised.
"I can do that in reality too." John said while eyeing the Ancient One as she could do that too due to her connection to Dormammu.
"Huh! You possess that much magic power?" Mordo was more surprised now. John didn't reply to that and vanished from his place and appeared next to Mordo. Mordo who was ready defended using magic.
John conjured a two magical discs and threw towards Mordo. Mordo after being struck by John had to take steps back after the first strike of John. As he saw the magical discs he again conjured rings of Raggadorr as a shield to defend against the flying discs.
The force generated made Mordo take more steps back. He was on the verge of fall but his boots helped him to stop it.
" So how was it?" John asked.
"You have too much magic power. But I haven't lost yet." Mordo said as he took the staff and hit John while using the boots to accelerate towards John. John had to defend this time. He conjured a rope made of magic and used it as a lasso to wrap around the staff.
John then proceeded to divert the staff away from him. this prompted Mordo to lose his balance as he was still holding the staff. John saw this as a chance and directly used his hands to hit the abdomen of Mordo. Of course he didn't use his superhuman strength as that would kill Mordo.
