Kol Mikaelson – Journey To The Multiverse - Chapter 3

=PART-1

Years flew by and when Kol turned fourteen, Esther gave birth to Henrik, the youngest sibling.

Kol knew that the time was approaching, so he studied even harder and eventually learned to conjure magic as a means of self protection. One must be quite adept in conjuring magic constructs, to be able to learn eldritch magic manipulation like the Ancient One.

Doctor strange could do eldritch magic manipulation after a few months of learning in Kamar-Taj and even create portals, but this was a different world altogether and Kol needed to adjust his spells. There was no instruction manual for what he needed to do.

The witches here could only cast spells if, either their bodies generated mana on their own or they channeled someone else’s mana into themselves. They could also use different celestial phenomenon to channel universal energies. They used the mana they had to manipulate the nature around them or summoned spirits of their ancestors, who would then channel universal energies into the caster and even help with the spells. The method was quite similar, but more crude.

From the knowledge that Kol knew, the magic was divided into three different categories —- Personal energies, Universal energies and Dimensional energies. All the magic was built on the concept that all realities could be reshaped by tapping into the existing power that was found in either themselves, the Universe, or other dimensions.

Kol’s body also generated mana but only a small amount which was right for his age, so he used that little mana to summon more mana from the other dimensions to cast spells. The mages from the Kamar-Taj could directly summon mana from different dimensions, but that was not how magic worked in this world. However, with all the knowledge of magic from the marvel and DC world and the highest possible talent, magic came quite easy for him.

=PART-2

When Kol turned sixteen, he spent most of his time in magic formations but he still managed to learn eldritch magic manipulation. Since then, it became near impossible for Mikael to defeat his ever changing Tao Mandalas. They could act as shields or war fans that could be thrown at a distance.

————Scene -Kol VS Mikael.

Early in the morning, Kol and Mikael were standing face to face. Now Kol was reaching Mikael in height and it looked like two men were facing each other. All his siblings besides Henrik and Finn, who was taking care of the young Henrik, were watching from a distance.

Mikael showed a little confusion on his face and suddenly spoke, “Boy! Where is your sword? Did you forget your sword?”.

Kol replied with a stoic face, “No father! I did not forget anything. I am going to defeat you with witchcraft today.”

Others were a little surprised by this sudden revelation. This was not the normal routine.

Mikael replied with an annoyed expression, “Boy! Do you think that I have time for games? By the time you cast your spell, I would have already put you down. Go and get your sword.”

Hearing this, Kol looked Mikael in the eyes and replied, “Old man! Today is the day I defeat you.”, then he hooked his finger at Mikael, in a provoking manner. Now Mikael was not a vampire and his pride was not heightened, so he was mostly just a normal, relatively strict father.

“Bring it on!”, Kol shouted and started doing hand signs with his hand, while standing still.

Mikael was a little annoyed, but he knew that Kol wasn’t just playing, so he drew his sword with one hand and walked towards him with a quickened pace.

Kol knew that he wouldn’t have time to cast Eldritch magic. He had just recently learned it and he wasn’t as adept in it, but he could still conjure the mana in his own body, before Mikael could reach him.

Mikael pointed the tip of his sword towards Kol’s throat to make him admit defeat, but Kol suddenly conjured a yellow energy rope and deflected the incoming sword sideways while tying up Mikael’s forearm with the rope.

Mikael ignored the rope in disdain and punched towards Kol with the other hand. Kol ducked under it and when the punched passed over him, he tied up Mikael’s upper arm and the forearm with the other end of the rope, while taking a step towards his back, before Mikael could turn around.

At this point, Mikael was facing the front and Kol was standing sideways. If it was any other day, then Mikael would now either hold the sword with both his hands and swing it at him or kick him aside and then charge at him. But not this time.

Kol kicked at the back of Mikael’s knee and shifted the side of the rope that had tied up Mikael’s sword holding hand towards the other side of Mikael’s neck.

Afterwards, he tied up Mikael’s neck and tightened the rope while going under the shoulder of his sword holding arm from the back side and pushing it up with his shoulder.

Mikael’s other arm was tied even more tightly to his back with the other end of the rope.

At this point, it became a battle of strength and beside the disadvantage of being tied up, Mikael would eventually win, but he found that the magic rope tying him up was tightening, a bit too much. No. The rope was in fact shortening itself. A normal rope could not do that, but this was a rope conjured out of magic. It could lengthen or shorten itself, according to caster’s will.

Mikael’s sword dropped and then, Kol pushed him towards the ground. Eventually, Mikael passed out due to the interruption in blood circulation.

This way, Kol won for the first time against Mikael and even though it was because Mikael underestimated his magic, Kol was still a little happy.

The very next day, Kol lost and sometimes he would win while sometimes he would loose, until he finally became adept enough in Eldritch magic to use it during battle.

Kol would remember for a long time how surprised everyone became when he first used the Tao Mandalas to defeat Mikael. It was completely a one sided duel.

Eldritch magic was a unique magic for this world and it would take years of practice for the mages from this world to be able to master it, even if they had the knowledge that Kol had, but Kol’s magic talent came form the marvel and DC world which gave him quite the edge.

————Scene END———-

As time passed by, Kol found that Ayana was becoming somewhat distant to him, as if he had done something wrong. He already knew that this would eventually happen, because she was usually with him when he practiced magic.

Kol tried to hide his magic from others, but there was a limit to how much he could hide it. He could be considered a genius, if he leaned a new spell by himself and could be considered a monstrous talent, if he learned several, but there was no way that he could create a different school of magic, all by himself.

At this point, Kol could tell several lies that would make things right again, but he just let the situation be. There was no need to be overly attached to someone who was about to die in a few years. Ayana would never accept immortality because it went against the laws of nature, so Kol just focused on his magic and didn’t try to hide it as much.

When Kol turned seventeen, one day he found that Rebekah was holding a sword and standing against Mikael.

Apparently, Mikael had been beating Niklaus with a belt and Rebekah rescued him. After taking off the bird necklace, Niklaus was indeed different and was becoming stronger, until one day he became weak again. It was obvious that Esther had done her witchcraft again.

————Scene -Kol defending Niklaus.

Kol stood with Rebekah to defend Niklaus and eventually Elijah joined them. In the end, Mikael was about to leave with an annoyed face before Kol challenged him. It resulted in Mikael’s defeat. Mikael would remember the words Kol spoke to him for a long time.

After the defeat, Mikael was kneeling on the ground while holding a sword handle. The sword had been severed from the middle. This normal iron sword could not be compared to the sharp Tao Mandalas. Mikael was defeated within two seconds. It was utterly shameful for a viking.

Kol suddenly spoke, “Father! There is a higher mountain somewhere for any high mountain we can see. You are strong, but not the strongest in the world. So, perhaps before you scold Niklaus next time, for being miserable and weak, you should remember how pathetic you are now.”

Mikael was shocked that his dearest son would talk to him this way.

After a short silence, Kol continued, “Use the time you waste in scolding my siblings to train yourself instead. Your youth is not over yet.”. Then, he walked away before Mikael could respond.

Mikael replied with an angry face, “Boy! I’ll let you eat those words of yours later.”.

————Scene END———-

It was right around this time that Kol finally found the magic formation that he was looking for, from his consciousness. It was the bloodline transfer formation from the Chthon Scrolls, also known as the Darkhold.

Kol needed the bloodline transfer formation for what he was going to do, but the formation from Chthon scrolls was not good enough. So he continued to study formations.

He had become adept enough in formations that he could patch up his own needed formation based on the ones he already knew, but Kol was aware that this was not good enough. He had to know formations from their very essence, to know what every little expression meant and what kind of effect it had on every other expression written in different manners. He needed to know the ‘why’ and the ‘how’, so he continued to learn formations.

=PART-3

Years flew by and when Kol turned twenty, he finally created an entirely new bloodline transfer formation. It was a completely new formation from it’s very essence. It used all the knowledge he had learned about formations.

A simple bloodline transfer formation was not even that complicated compared to the other formations that he had in his consciousness, like the reality warping formation, spirit transfer formation, temporal evolution formation, quantum bands rearrangement formation, energy conversion formation. etc.

Kol’s new bloodline transfer formation used elements from all these formations but he would still improve it every day and double check or even triple check every single aspect of it, because he knew that he would only get one chance. It was life or death for him, literally.

Kol was trying to learn mirror dimension and magic portal as well because focusing too much on one thing was not good either. Such a thing would only confuse him more. So, he tried to learn everything with a calm mind.
