Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts

[Shadow of Destruction] This curse is somewhat similar to the enhanced version of [Corrosion Curse]. Not only is it more powerful, it also has silent and lightless characteristics.

But this spell should actually be used in conjunction with an alchemy tool called [Lightless Dust]. Anduin found a lot of this equipment during the previous inventory. They were a bunch of metal cans similar to small wine bottles.

Anduin inspected this container and found it to be very ordinary, except that it had the function of automatically exploding after being thrown.

In fact, this kind of alchemy equipment is very similar to smoke bombs, except that the spreading [lightless dust] blocks the field of vision more effectively, and also has some sensory shielding functions. After being covered, it is almost equivalent to being blind, and the vision will change.

It is pitch black, and it also has strong wind resistance. It is difficult to blow away with ordinary 'hurricane spells', and you can only wait for it to settle naturally.

In Phoenix's notes and handwritten notes, it is clearly recorded that this [Lightless Dust] is paired with [Shadow of Destruction].

During the battle, first use [Lightless Dust] to cover the enemy's vision, and then cast the silent and shadowless [Destruction Shadow] spell. It is simply a magic weapon for Yin people.

The other magic [Soul Elegy] is a large-scale AOE magic. To use this magic, you need to collect enough souls in advance and store them in the body or container.

When it is cast, it will first emit a scream that directly hits the soul. The scream will form a compound attack with sound waves and soul, causing triple effects of fear, knockback, and mental attack to enemies within a range of at least 50 meters.

Then all the souls stored in the caster's body are released, and multiple "soul aggregations" are formed to seek out enemies and launch attacks on their own. The attacks of these soul aggregations not only have attack characteristics such as corrosion and fear, but also these soul aggregations

It also has splitting properties.

After receiving a devastating blow, the 'soul aggregation' will first self-destruct, then split into multiple small soul aggregations, and continue to entangle the enemy.

If Anduin hadn't made a prompt decision and cast the extremely powerful [Desolate Thunder] to annihilate those souls, these soul aggregates would have been able to entangle them for a long time even if they could not cause casualties to the wizards.

However, after reading the magic introduction of [Soul's Elegy] from the information, Anduin found that the power of [Soul's Elegy] previously cast by Phoenix was obviously insufficient.

Because the strength of this magic is not only limited by the determination and magic control of the caster, but also the most important thing is related to the number of souls sealed in advance.

Anduin then turned his attention to the pile of alchemical props he had sorted out before, and took out several jar-shaped urns made of magic metal.

During the previous inspection, Anduin discovered that these urns had the function of storing souls, but he didn't understand why Phoenix collected these souls for a while, so he just threw them aside and ignored them. But for props with unknown purposes like this, he

In fact, several were found.

Now it seems that these urns use the casting materials of [Soul's Elegy]. I am afraid that Phoenix had to deal with the enemy in a hurry, so he could only mobilize the soul sealed in the body to cast the spell.

If these urns had been in her hands, the power of [Soul Elegy] would have been terrifying!

Whether it is [Shadow of Destruction] or [Elegy of Souls], they need to be combined with alchemy props or casting materials to achieve real effects.

But even in the absence of these materials, Phoenix was still so difficult to deal with. This also made Anduin realize once again that there was still a big gap between him and these immortals who had lived for who knows how many years.

After all, most of Anduin's strength is also reflected in his equipment. If he was only given a wand, his performance might not be as good as Phoenix tonight.

However, as a harvest, these magic notes are indeed of extraordinary value to him. The magic of [Soul Elegy] is somewhat harmful to the truth, and when used, it requires spiritual contact with those souls. This kind of harm is harmful to people.

He will not learn his own magic.

But just from the spells, he was able to extract sufficient knowledge and information, which gave Anduin the opportunity to have a glimpse of the extremely profound magic category of [Soul].

And props and magic like [Matte Dust] and [Shadow of Destruction] are even better things that can be picked up and used.

Especially the [Matte Dust]. In fact, when he was making tactical equipment, he had long thought about making a prop similar to smoke bombs. However, he often engaged in actual combat and knew that ordinary smoke could be used in wizard battles.

The effect is actually not big.

If you want to block your vision, you usually just use the 'Misty' spell. However, in actual combat, the 'Misty' spell is not as useful as expected, because an ordinary 'Hurricane Charm' can easily blow it away.

At the same time, slightly stronger wizards can use their magic perception to detect their opponents, while ordinary wizards with poor magic perception don't have to deal with them so troublesome.

But with the [Lightless Dust], Anduin could make real 'tactical smoke grenades'. The thought of new equipment being available on the market made him feel happy immediately.

Gutama

After calming down a little, Anduin took stock of Phoenix's information again. In Phoenix's research notes, he found that the other party's research in the fields of soul and death was very in-depth, almost to the level of a master.

And these things are reflected in strength, and have evolved into various strange spells, as well as those huge armies of inferi and undead.

At the same time, Anduin also learned that the Inferi and Nether Guards that seemed to be able to be summoned infinitely actually had limits.

These undead spirits were actually made by Phoenix using the corpses that she had collected over the past hundred years. The corpses came from the enemies they killed, tomb robberies and wars. During the war, she collected several of them.

It can be called a huge corpse.

You must know that Phoenix was a person who experienced World War I and World War II, and Germany was the main war country during World War I and World War II.

Phoenix clearly recorded in her notes that when she wanted to get some corpses for experiments, how easy it was. She only needed to find a concentration camp established by the Japanese in Germany, and she could choose at will from the pile of corpses like a hill.

, she can even choose the shape, specifications and dimensions of the corpse.

At the same time, Anduin also discovered that Phoenix often complained in her notes that the German soldiers always starved the prisoners in the concentration camps to the point of becoming thin and weak, which made the materials she selected very fragile.

After being processed by Phoenix, these collected corpses were transformed into the Inferi and Nether Guards that Anduin had seen. At the same time, Phoenix specially built a large-scale "corpse raising ground" to store these corpses.

When you need to use them, you only need to summon them and they can be immediately converted into combat power. Whether it is the summoning ritual used by the Phoenix by sacrificing itself, or those 'Inferi Summoning Bags', they are all just opened and can be connected.

It's just a portal to the 'Corpse Ground'.

It's just that the 'Corpse Ground' where the 'Netherworld Guard' is stored is very far away from here. Even if it is a one-way portal, you still need to use 'casting materials' to summon it, and when there are no casting materials, you need to use self-sacrifice.

means of sacrifice.

The main reason why Phoenix is ​​so keen on studying the soul and death is that she wants to find a way to truly live forever.

Unlike the other naive spears in the club, Phoenix never believed that true immortality could be achieved by relying solely on the elixir.

First of all, she thought it was stupid to place her life in the hands of others. At the same time, she also felt that the elixir might have its own limits and could not be trusted absolutely.

In Phoenix Notes, it is recorded as follows:

'The adoptive father said that he would give us true eternal life, but if eternal life means turning into his ghostly appearance, then it proves that the so-called elixir is nothing more than that.'

'We still took the magic potion given by our father half-voluntarily and half-forced. The irritable Gerald almost fell out with his father because of this, but we couldn't refuse in the end.'

'The effect of the elixir is even more amazing than I imagined. I feel like I'm 20 years old again. Whether it's appearance or physical functions, this feeling is really intoxicating. But I still have to keep reminding myself that the elixir cannot be trusted.

, if you don’t want to become like your father, you still have to find another way out.'

"Why do all the so-called immortality methods in history turn people into neither humans nor ghosts, and the flaws are so big? Methods like Horcruxes that place the soul on foreign objects are simply stupid!"

'Don't the inventors of Horcruxes know that all items will gradually decay over time? Even holy weapons can only survive for thousands of years. What I want is true immortality. It's unimaginable that any idiot would do it for a few thousand years.

A lifespan of hundreds of years divides the soul.'

'Is the only thing that can achieve immortality without side effects the Philosopher's Stone? But the only known Philosopher's Stone in the world is only in the hands of Nick Flamel, a legendary wizard who has lived longer than his father. What should I do?

Get it?'

'It is said that my father exchanged several pieces of Flamende alloy from Nick Flamel back then. I don't know if he still has contact with Nick now.'

‘Nick Flamel might be in France, my father is very sure! I’m going to France too!’

'It's been 20 years, why can't I find him? Is this road really dead?'

'Philosopher's Stone! Even if you just let me take a look at you, I feel like after so many years of research, I really want to get into a dead end. Doesn't immortality mean abandoning death and letting the soul live forever? Or is there another explanation?

'

'Oh my god! Recently, I actually had the idea of ​​making a Horcrux for myself. I feel that the side effects of the elixir have begun to slowly appear. It is making me gradually stupid. Splitting my soul will only make me incomplete and become a different person.

Even more fragile, I'm afraid only the product of incestuous marriage would pursue that cerebral palsy-like Horcrux!'
