Hogwarts: My Spells Unlimited
Chapter 114: Life-taking Curse Lightning Chain, 1 curse to clear the screen!
Chapter 114: Lightning chain of life-taking curse, clear the screen with one curse!
However, while he was looking forward to it, the shortcomings of the Killing Curse also emerged in Charles’ mind.
Although the Killing Curse in the original book is very powerful, it is certain to cause death in the hands of a wizard who can unleash its power, and there is almost no protective magic that can be effective against the Killing Curse.
But its shortcomings are also obvious, that is, there is no lock, no range effect, only extreme single-point lethality.
This resulted in the fact that in many of the battles in the original novel, the number of people killed by the Killing Curse was actually not that large as the characters were constantly moving.
In the hands of Voldemort, the wizard who knows the Killing Curse best in the magical world, the Killing Curse can be called “the finger of death”, which can kill anyone who points it.
But that was only true when facing wizards who were far below him in rank. In the original book, when Voldemort was fighting Dumbledore at the Ministry of Magic, the Killing Curse, which was said to be fatal, was completely useless. Instead, he made extensive use of Transfiguration to fight against Dumbledore.
This is actually a reflection of the shortcomings of the Killing Curse.
At this level, the battle pace is too fast, and Apparition is used extensively, and the reaction speed is astonishingly fast due to the strong spirit.
There is no difficulty in avoiding the green light of the Killing Curse unless you are restricted by other spells.
As for the shortcomings of the Killing Curse, everyone understands it, and it’s not that no one wants to improve it.
But the Killing Curse is a spell that is extremely advanced in itself. How easy is it to improve it?
Even Voldemort himself, after so many years, was unable to create a better Killing Curse. At most, he made some minor improvements that only he could make.
But for Charles, with the existence of Deep Blue, even the Killing Curse can be deduced and improved to make up for all these shortcomings!
However, Charles was not in a hurry to start deducing the Killing Curse, but planned to deduce the rest of the black magic first.
After all, in the process of deducing other black magics, new knowledge will be acquired, which may be used in the subsequent deduction of the Killing Curse.
Anyway, after Charles gained the transformation into the Cerberus Three-Headed Dog, the first three deductions of all black magic did not consume any points. This was completely enough for him to become a top master in the field of black magic!
Charles’ eyes lit up.
“Dark blue.”
“The Imperius Curse, the Cruciatus Curse, the Shadowless Curse, the Fiery Curse…”
“All the black magic I obtained, all three deductions!”
Following Charles’ whisper, the next moment, his mind was flooded with seemingly endless knowledge of dark magic like a tide.
Torture, manipulate, chop, burn…
All kinds of strong malicious thoughts emerged, but they had no effect at all in front of Charles’ brain blocking surgery.
A look of understanding also appeared on Charles’ face.
After coming into contact with black magic, he also understood why black magic was called “black magic”.
Because unlike white magic which requires positive emotions, black magic requires strong evil thoughts in people’s hearts.
It requires the caster to have a strong desire to torture, kill, burn, or manipulate others like a puppet.
Compared with positive emotions such as protection, beauty, and kindness, such evil thoughts will be clearer and stronger.
This results in a situation where two wizards with the same magical power and mental strength, one using white magic and the other using black magic, often the spell cast by the one using black magic will be much more powerful.
But at the same time, releasing black magic comes at a price, and that is that the mind will gradually become distorted.
Just like killing someone, friends who often kill people know that the first time is the hardest and it is difficult to take this step.
But once you take the first step, it will become easier the second and third time.
Using the Killing Curse, even if no one is killed, is mentally equivalent to releasing an extremely strong murderous intent, which is more powerful than the mental impact of killing three or five people.
It may not be a problem to use it once or twice, but if you use this kind of black magic for a long time, your spirit will inevitably be alienated.
Killing people indiscriminately and torturing people are the inevitable consequences of using the Killing Curse and the Cruciatus Curse.
Other black magic can also bring about mental distortion, so most wizards immersed in black magic are extremely vicious.
Charles also felt a strong mental shock at this moment. Although his Occlumency could block these influences, no one could guarantee that under the long-term impact of black magic, Occlumency could completely isolate all influences.
Just look at Voldemort. When Voldemort first appeared, the formation of the Death Eaters was actually just a political party, which was not particularly extreme.
But as time went on, the behavior of the core members, including Voldemort himself, became more and more extreme, so that the reputation of the Death Eaters is now completely ruined.
So Charles immediately designated the direction of deduction for the first two times of these black magics.
“First, enhance the stability of the spell, just like deducing the Patronus Charm. I don’t need a spell that can’t be performed without a certain emotion.”
“Secondly, remove the mental impact of the black magic. I don’t need this kind of spell that will affect me.”
“A spell is a tool. How can a person be changed by a tool? In that case, is it the person who controls the spell, or is it the spell that controls the person?”
After pondering for a moment, Charles designated the direction of the third deduction.
“Finally, deduce it in a more extreme direction.”
“I think the effects of dark magic in the wizarding world are still too mild, especially the Unforgivable Curses. Is this unforgivable?”
“The Imperius Curse can be resisted, and the duration of the curse is not long, and there are no side effects. It is a bit watered down to be an Unforgivable Curse.”
“Give me the Mirror of Samsara deduced by combining Legilimency with it to strengthen the control effect of the Imperius Curse, while also having the effect of permanently modifying memory, consciousness, and even personality!”
“And Cruciatus, it’s not working, it really isn’t working.”
“It’s OK for those with weak wills, but for those with strong wills and deep hatred, even piercing their hearts and cutting their bones won’t be enough to scare them.”
“For example, Neville’s parents never gave in when they were tortured by the Death Eaters with the Cruciatus Curse. In the end, they were even driven crazy by the curse.”
“This kind of torture is really not acceptable. It’s too rough.”
“The Cruciatus Curse I want not only tortures the enemy’s body, but also their mind. It seems that it can also be combined with the Mirror of Samsara to interweave the pain of the body and mind. I don’t need to cast the curse so many times. Only one time is needed to make the enemy feel what it means to be in excruciating pain.”
“And the other black magic, the same goes for Deep Blue, they’re all fucking black magic, let’s do something extreme!”
As Ciel spoke, Deep Blue was spinning frantically.
Every minute and every second, the knowledge of dark magic that flashed through Charles’ mind was enough to horrify those dark wizards who claimed to be proficient in dark magic.
Because even if all the dark wizards in the wizarding world were gathered together, it is unknown how long it would take to complete so many improvements in dark magic.
And the things that flashed through Charles’ mind were too evil and too extreme.
Compared to these things, even the most ruthless dark wizard is as docile as a sheep!
After all the black magic spells that Charles knew had been deduced three times, when Charles opened his eyes, he felt as if he were in another world.
This deduction is the longest one in history.
Although there are only three deductions, there are so many spells to be deduced, and the knowledge and materials involved in the process are also vast!
But the gains after this deduction are also terrifying.
The deep blue prompt sound rang out like a screen refresh.
“The Imperius Curse has been deduced three times. The host has obtained the mental spell – Soul Reconstruction.”
“Based on the Imperius Curse, combined with the derivative spell of Legilimency, the Mirror of Samsara, it constantly controls the life and mind of the cursed person in reincarnation after reincarnation. Each reincarnation will permanently modify the other person’s memory and consciousness.”
“The greater the difference in mental strength, the more significant the modification effect. For a cursed person whose mental strength is more than one generation inferior to the host, the host can even modify him into another completely unfamiliar personality!”
“…”
“The Cruciatus Curse has been deduced three times, and the host has obtained the mental spell – Pain Penetrating the Soul.”
“Unlike the Cruciatus Curse, which purely creates extreme physical pain to destroy the spirit, this spell also combines the host’s other materials in mental spells, which will multiply the mental pain of the cursed person.”
“The one who is cursed will feel the extreme pain that destroys his spirit. All the pain of his life will appear before his eyes, and even the strongest spirit will suffer a heavy blow.”
“…”
After the side effects of black magic were removed, they were pushed to more extreme directions.
At this moment, Ciel can be regarded as one of the only three masters of dark magic in the recent ancient times. Although his absolute depth of dark magic may not be as good as Grindelwald and Voldemort, his breadth of dark magic is not comparable to those two.
After all, human energy is limited, and Grindelwald and Voldemort are no exception. It is impossible for them to master all aspects of the dark magic.
But Charles is different. He is proficient in almost all the black magic currently available!
Fiendish fire, malicious deformation, evil spells, curses…
Charles knows everything!
Especially in the rather niche field of black magic, curse magic, Charles’ attainments can be said to be unparalleled in this era.
After all, this thing doesn’t cause direct damage. Compared with the Killing Curse that can kill the enemy directly, it is still too inefficient.
Therefore, among the few dark wizards who would study curses, there have not been many since ancient times.
In today’s wizarding world, the most famous curse is still the curse that Voldemort cast on the Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
He traveled around Europe that year, underwent several transformations through dark magic, and after his strength soared, he failed to get the position of professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, so he cursed that no one could stay in this position for the next year.
To be honest, this curse is a bit of a joke and it has been quite a long time since then.
But now, the effects of the curse are still continuing.
Even Dumbledore had no way to deal with this curse and could only change the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts every year.
Not even the protective magic of Hogwarts could stop this curse.
This is enough to prove that the field of curse magic is too niche, and even the top wizards have no solution to this problem.
And now, Ciel’s attainments in curse magic are definitely more than one level stronger than Voldemort’s back then.
In this field, there is absolutely no problem for him to call himself the strongest in the world!
Even in Hogwarts, under Dumbledore’s nose, Charles could cast a curse that left Dumbledore helpless!
A smile appeared on Charles’s lips.
“Also, I remember my time-space marking magic, which allows me to curse the marked being from thousands of miles away.”
“It’s just that I never had the opportunity to deduce the curse before, but now I can finally take advantage of this feature.”
“You know what, this guy is really good at disgusting people.”
“If that old bee Dumbledore disgusts me again, I will use curse magic to teach him a lesson!”
In addition, Charles’ mental strength also soared after these black magic deductions.
So many spells are being deduced three times at the same time, which also means a vast amount of knowledge.
At this moment, Charles filled all the knowledge generated in the process into the Memory Palace. The area of the Memory Palace has expanded by nearly half compared to before, which naturally has a significant impact on Charles’ mental strength!
Even though he hasn’t deduced the Killing Curse yet, just the deductions of black magic have made Charles’ strength reach a higher level compared to before!
After digesting these gains, a fiery light ignited in Charles’ eyes.
“Then it’s finally time for the killing curse.”
“Deep Blue, deduce for me!”
“The direction of the first two deductions is the same as before, removing unstable casting conditions and side effects. As for the third one…”
Charles thought for a moment.
The instant death in the Killing Curse is already extremely powerful. Even if the power is increased, a person cannot die twice, right?
Therefore, there is no need to continue to deduce the power for the time being, but instead we should work on the hit rate.
Therefore, Charles gave an order to Deep Blue.
“For the third deduction, I want to greatly increase the hit rate of the Killing Curse. It would be best if the Killing Curse has the function of automatically searching for the enemy!”
Even Voldemort would have scolded Charles for being greedy if he heard such a request.
The killing curse automatically locks the enemy?
What good things are you thinking about!
But Shenlan said nothing and silently took everything.
A moment later, a deep blue reminder sounded in Charles’ mind.
“The three deductions of the killing curse are complete.”
“The host no longer needs to have murderous intent when casting the Killing Curse.”
“The host will no longer suffer side effects such as mental distortion when releasing the Killing Curse.”
“The killing curse released by the host will be linked with the time-space mark curse. The killing curse will constantly track the location of the time-space mark and correct its route until it hits the target or the magic power is exhausted!”
Ciel took a deep breath, a look of surprise on his face.
He also didn’t expect that although Deep Blue failed to make the Killing Curse itself have the function of searching for enemies, he could achieve it indirectly with the help of the Time and Space Marking Curse that he had deduced.
The Time and Space Marking Spell was the most irresistible spell in Charles’ hands. Even the ancient being in the Dragon Blood Sea in Romania could only watch as Charles printed the word “demolish” on his coffin.
I’m afraid even Dumbledore can’t do anything about the Time and Space Marking Spell.
In other words, it is very simple to cast a time and space marking spell on the enemy.
With the help of the mark of time and space, the Killing Curse can continuously search for the enemy and greatly increase the hit rate!
The next moment, Charles looked up at the sky and his sight fell on a flying bird.
With a wave of the magic wand, a mark of time and space was instantly imprinted on the flying bird.
Then, Charles chanted the Unforgivable spell.
“Avada Kedavra.”
A dazzling green light suddenly whizzed out and then flew into the sky on its own.
This magical power with the breath of death was so terrifying that even birds felt terrified. They kept flapping their wings faster and faster in an attempt to escape.
But the green light of the Killing Curse seemed to have life, chasing the flying bird, drawing arcs, and then hitting it accurately.
In an instant, the bird lost its life and fell straight down from the sky.
Seeing this scene, Charles nodded with satisfaction.
In this way, even if the enemy is riding a broomstick or various flying props, your killing curse can hit accurately!
Unless the enemy flies too far in such a short time and the magic of the Killing Curse dissipates too much, he will be killed.
If Voldemort in the original book could develop the Killing Curse to this extent, Harry Potter would have been finished long ago!
But then, Ciel licked his lips.
He still has a lot of points now, and he didn’t even consume any points to deduce so many black magics.
The Killing Curse is totally worth further deduction.
“The accuracy of the Killing Curse has been resolved, but there is still a problem. It can only target a single target and cannot attack a group of targets.”
A classic spell from some fantasy games in his previous life emerged in Charles’ mind – Lightning Chain.
As long as it hits one enemy, the spell will chain jump and hit more enemies.
If the Killing Curse could be like this, wouldn’t it be a truly magical skill for clearing the field in large-scale battles?
With one killing curse, the battlefield is cleared out instantly!
When this idea came into his mind, Charles couldn’t stop.
“Deep Blue, the fourth deduction of the killing curse…”
“Push it in the direction of strengthening group attack, the idea is lightning chain.”
“Send me a killing spell lightning chain!”
