Harry Potter: The Age of Magic

Chapter 147 Transformation Ritual and Horcruxes

Although he didn't understand why Christina looked like she was facing an enemy, Rossi immediately became vigilant.

At this moment, the white bones on the ground suddenly floated one by one, and quickly rotated around a group of black mist in the center.

"Attack that black mist!"

While reminding Rosie, Christina waved her wand and pointed towards the black mist, "Thunderbolt explosion!"

The red light group quickly rebounded around the black mist with an ear-splitting roar. Just looking at the scope and momentum was enough to shock people.

"Expelliarmus!"

Standing next to Christina, Rosie raised her wand and pointed it at the black mist. In order to ensure that she could hit the target, she deliberately changed the output mode of the disarming spell so that the red beam would continue to attack the target.

However, both Christina's explosion spell and Rossi's disarming spell were ultimately blocked by a transparent barrier outside the black mist.

Not only that, not even a single whirling bone was injured.

"Huh? What's going on?"

"The ceremony is going to be a success!"

"The container that holds the lich's soul. It can be any object, even a living thing. It doesn't have to be a box."

"In the legends I've read before, aren't lichs all human wizards who abandoned their lives and joined the undead? But what's going on with those red hats?"

Sensing Rossi's change, Christina immediately pointed her wand at Rossi and emitted a short red light.

"The flames are blazing!"

Rossi immediately thrust his wand forward, and an arc-shaped barrier like an umbrella quickly stood up in front of him. Then, it turned into transparent armor and covered their bodies.

Christina cried out in surprise. The scene that happened before her eyes was obviously beyond her cognition.

While tentatively releasing magic to attack again, Christina muttered and answered, "The phylactery you mentioned reminds me of a ritual magic I saw in a book called "Decryption of Advanced Black Magic," an ancient

The ritual magic created by wizards imitating the transformation ritual of lich, hmm~ let me think about it, it seems to be called...horcrux?"

"Is that the Lich's body? Isn't the Lich's body a phylactery?"

"The Lich has never been a human being. It is an undead spirit that was accidentally born under extreme conditions. Did you see that black mist? It is the body of the Lich. Those red hats before were just part of this transformation ceremony.

Consumables.”

"Revitalization!"

At this moment, the white bones flying in the air suddenly gathered together, enveloping the black mist, which looked like a huge egg.

Christina, who also felt this change, said as she tapped Rosie with the tip of her wand.

Christina glanced at Rossi in surprise, "This is a new term. Did you read it in some novel?"

Rossi explained, and then felt amused by the settings of other popular science games, "I saw it from fictional novels, you don't need to care about this."

“Keep warm from the cold!”

"Undead?"

Fear: The spirit is suppressed, the movement speed is reduced by 15%, and you cannot attack when you are scared.

Immediately afterwards, Rossi saw that the shield value of the defensive magic he had released was rapidly decreasing.

"Isn't this too strong? It seems like I'm really a burden!"

After turning the wand and adding a cold-proof spell to herself, Christina said again: "Don't worry, generally speaking, the lich that has just completed the transformation is not very strong. The two of us can handle it."

Christina said solemnly, "The lich's transformation ritual! But the strange thing is that the lich's transformation ritual is very easy to be interrupted. Any offensive spell can interrupt it."

Also, since the transformation ritual exceeded her expectations, will the lich after the transformation be successful still be the lich she knows?

"Fictional novel? It doesn't sound entirely fictional."

Thinking of this, Rosie moved a small step to the side inconspicuously and stood side by side next to Christina.

"Phylactery?" Christina tried to understand the meaning of Rossi's words.

I saw that the shield value, which was originally less than 3,000, actually broke through to 5,000 with the blessing of Christina's spell.

A harsh and weird laugh suddenly came from the egg. Even though there was a magic spell to keep out the cold, Rosie still felt a cold and terrifying feeling in her heart, and her body began to tremble involuntarily.

Christina gave a soft drink and raised her wand high to point at the bones, which were peeling off the skin layer by layer like an onion.

After a pause, she got back on track:

Rossi finally understood why this main quest was not started until so long after the game was launched. If a newbie who had just entered the game was doing the main quest, he might not even be qualified to do so, right?

"It's a transformation ritual."

Since he is not an explorer, Rossi, who does not have advanced detection skills, did not know how much shield Cristina had before.

"Armor protection!"

"Protect everything!"

In an instant, the defensive barrier that had been blessed by the Safeguarding Spell surrounding the two people showed signs of rupture.

It wasn't until this time, after the other party blessed her defensive magic, that she was shocked to have a clear understanding of Christina's defensive magic from the changes in shield volume on the skill panel.

Rosie was startled for a moment, and suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

Rossi muttered subconsciously.

Rosie, who had only realized that she had been "feared" until then, felt a little embarrassed. She didn't even realize that she was being frightened. Could it be that I had become a burden?

As soon as the second word "thank you" was spoken, the egg in the air exploded with a loud bang, and immediately after, white bones shot towards the two of them like flying swords all over the sky.

The practical cold-proof spell instantly adsorbed on the surface of Rosie's skin, making her whole body feel warm.

Just as she was complaining to herself, the outermost defensive barrier cracked into pieces under the attack of waves of bone swords.

The moment the iron armor spell was formed, she turned the wand in her hand, and a transparent screen that was smaller than the spell Christina cast was suddenly covered.

The next moment, this chill manifested itself in reality, arousing fine goosebumps on her smooth skin.

Seeing Rossi releasing defensive magic, Christina immediately added a magic spell to it:

"Peaceful guard!"

Although she said that, the action of her taking a step forward to protect Rosie made Luo instantly understand that the lich that was about to take shape in front of him was not as simple as she said.

"Thanks!"

"What is that?" Rossi asked curiously after finding that the attack was ineffective.

"Jiejiejie..."

Lich's transformation ritual? What's going on with the planning of this game? Is there a lich in Harry Potter?

Hearing this, Rossi couldn't help but frown, recalling the settings of lich in other games, and asked in confusion:

"Horcrux!!!"

The next second, a burning flame swirled on the tip of her wand.

Huh? Why didn't she release the fireball?

Just as he was wondering that the magic cast by the other party was different from his own, Rossi saw the fireball at the tip of Christina's wand getting bigger and bigger, and soon formed a giant fireball with a diameter of three meters long.

As she took a step forward, the giant fireball flew out suddenly, breaking through waves of white bones, and hit the bones hard.
