Chapter 57: The surge in strength, the hand of glory, the sun without light!
After taking a deep breath, Charles slowly calmed down the desire in his heart that was eager to enter R'lyeh again.
After all, although R'lyeh seemed to him to be a buffet restaurant with unlimited supplies, the deduction points provided by the sea water and reefs in R'lyeh alone showed how ancient and powerful the magic of this place was.
Dark had only just ascended, but if Ciel didn't have the ancient dragon form of the magic Animagus, it would probably be difficult to deal with him.
One should be cautious when trying to drive oneself insane by performing Occlumency to gain access to R'lyeh.
What's more, the commotion caused by Charles this time was quite big. If he forced his way into R'lyeh again in a short period of time, it might lead to something serious being uncovered, which would be disastrous.
Therefore, Charles suppressed the desire in his heart and instead focused his attention on the gains from being pulled into R'lyeh this time.
This time, Charles reaped a huge reward in R'lyeh.
The ancient dragon form gains two new dragon language magics, Destruction Torrent and Storm Call, whose range and power surpass the Eternal Blazing Sun cast in human form.
And after the final storm-calling dragon roar, Charles' dragon body was further tempered in the howling wind.
The anti-magic effect, strength, speed, and size have all been comprehensively improved.
If Charles were to transform into an ancient dragon now, he would not look like a young dragon, but rather a young adult.
The ancient majesty it exudes is much stronger than that of a fire dragon. The two are not on the same level at all!
Relying solely on this dragon body, more than 99% of the wizards and magical creatures in the magical world can only feel despair in front of Ciel.
Not only that, at this moment, Charles was quietly feeling his body, with a look of surprise and shock in his eyes.
He tried to clench his fists.
A powerful force arises naturally in the flesh and blood.
He threw a punch casually, and a crisp sound like a whip hitting the air was even heard in the room!
Although Charles participated in various sports competitions when he was in the Muggle world and his physique was much stronger than other children of the same age, he was definitely not as strong as this.
This is simply abnormal!
Charles' face showed understanding.
"A wizard's human form and Animagus form are not completely separate, but influence each other."
"Peter Pettigrew is a prime example of this."
"He is a coward by nature, hence his Animagus transformation is a rat."
"After that, he hid his identity for more than ten years and turned into a rat to avoid being hunted down. When he finally regained his human form, he still retained a lot of rat behavioral characteristics."
"..."
"On ordinary Animagus, this effect is not noticeable. At least it will take a long time for the change to be noticeable."
"But on the magic Animagus that I have practiced, this effect is much greater. The powerful magic of the ancient dragon form has undoubtedly also had a promoting effect on my human form."
"My physical strength has increased significantly as a result, reaching an almost inhuman level."
Charles sensed the magic power in his body again, and his face became even happier.
Compared to before, the strength of his magic power has also undergone a nearly qualitative improvement, as if he had undergone a permanent magical transformation, far exceeding that of most adult wizards.
This has greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the Charr form.
For example, the strength of Transfiguration is much stronger than before.
Previously, Charles had mastered the art of transfiguration, but due to limitations on his magical power, he was unable to perform some transformations.
Now, these are not a problem.
The most significant change may be reflected in the Eternal Blazing Sun Curse.
When the Eternal Blazing Sun Curse was first deduced, one cast of the Eternal Blazing Sun Curse could cause a huge burden on Charles, to the point of causing him to become exhausted and pass out.
Not long ago, Charles cast the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell to eliminate all traces. Although he was not exhausted to the point of passing out, he was also very tired.
But now, thanks to the feedback from the ancient dragon form, Charles didn't dare to say that he could use the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell as a knockout, but at least it wouldn't be difficult to cast seven or eight.
Compared to before, the strength of this human form has improved by more than a little bit? !
A look of relief appeared in Charles' eyes.
"Transfiguration is indeed a field that powerful wizards like Dumbledore and Voldemort delve into in depth."
"The investment in Animagus Transfiguration has paid off handsomely."
"This is only my first magical Animagus transformation. Once I gather the blood of two other powerful magical animals, the feedback from the three transformations may be even stronger."
"Then by performing Transfiguration four, five, or even more times, the magical Animagus may be able to transform all mythical creatures!"
Then, Charles's eyes fell on the 35 million deduction points.
After hesitating for a moment, he decided to use some of his points to continue improving his wizard form's strength.
Most of his previous investment in wizard form was on control and escape.
Because at that time magic power was a fatal flaw. Even if one deduced more powerful combat spells, they were too heavy a burden to cast, and did not bring much improvement to one's strength.
But now, since magic power is no longer a constraint, I can improve it.
The ancient dragon form is a trump card, and Charles will not use it unless it is absolutely necessary.
After all, the appearance of an ancient dragon in this era is really shocking, and I don’t know how many hidden wizards might be blown away. Not to mention that Ciel’s ancient dragon form was transformed through Animagus, which would really blow up the world if it were made public.
Countless people would covet this kind of power.
Wizards have so many ways to prolong their lives. God knows if there is anyone among those who can compare with Dumbledore and Voldemort?
Who can explain the existence of a strange place like R'lyeh?
Therefore, before he grows to the point where he can protect himself against two or three Dumbledores, Ciel does not intend to reveal his ancient dragon form. It is still necessary for him to improve his wizard form strength.
After thinking for a moment, Charles made a decision.
His eyes fell on the Luminescent Spell and its derivation spell that had accompanied him the longest.
Having already deduced to the point of the Eternal Blazing Sun Curse, this series of spells naturally cannot be abandoned.
In terms of power, the Eternal Blazing Sun Curse is already extremely strong, only slightly weaker than the dragon roar of the ancient dragon form, but it is enough to deal with 99% of opponents.
However, even with the control of the Pure Land Curse, the Eternal Blazing Sun Curse is too conspicuous and its activation speed is a bit slow, which is still a flaw.
Charles had also thought about making the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell quieter, preferably so that the enemy couldn't detect it.
But the deduction points given by Deep Blue in this direction reached millions, which was not a number that could be ignored even for Charles today.
The reason given by Deep Blue is that the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell radiates light and heat like the sun.
Want to make the sun less dazzling?
This is too difficult, so naturally more deduction points need to be added.
But before that, Ciel obtained a dark magic item from Borgin and Burke's in Knockturn Alley, which happened to have this property. Using it as material might significantly reduce the points needed to deduce in this direction.
Then, Charles rummaged around and took out a dry palm.
This palm is called the Hand of Glory.
Its property is that the light source lit on it is only visible to the person holding it, and can illuminate most magical mists.
You have to know that those magic mists have obscuring magic power, but they can still be penetrated by the Hand of Glory.
This shows that the light source lit by the Hand of Glory also has a certain degree of magic-breaking effect.
Whether it is light that is visible only to oneself or the magic-breaking effect, these are the characteristics that Ciel needs.
If the light of the Eternal Blazing Sun is only visible to Charles and no one else can see it, then even if the enemy is struck by the Eternal Blazing Sun, they will probably not be able to react!
In addition to the Eternal Blazing Sun, the Laser Spell can also inherit this characteristic.
The laser that can cut through everything is only visible to Charles. This is the real "Invisible Divine Edge"!
Coupled with the magic-breaking properties, the lethality will skyrocket!
Then, even in wizard form, Charles can easily break through the defense and kill some magical animals with strong anti-magic ability!
After a moment, Ciel waved his wand.
A firefly-like light fell towards the Hand of Glory and landed on its fingers.
The strange thing is that once this light fell into the Hand of Glory, it disappeared without a trace.
This light can only be seen when Charles holds the hand of glory.
Just as he was experiencing this phenomenon personally, a deep blue reminder sounded in Charles' mind.
"The host has obtained high-level materials that can be used to deduce the Luminescent Spell. The points for subsequent deductions of the Luminescent Spell have decreased."
"According to the direction previously proposed by the host, perform the Luminescent Spell four times, add the feature of only being visible to me, and the feature of breaking magic. This requires one million points."
"Do you want to deduce?"
Ciel's eyes lit up when he heard the prompt.
One million deduction points is a lot less than the several million points required for previous inquiries.
In exchange, the concealment and lethality of the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell are greatly enhanced, which is still a good deal in Charles' opinion.
Therefore, Charles decisively chose to agree.
"Deduction!"
After a moment, Deep Blue had completely analyzed the magical knowledge contained in the Hand of Glory.
And he began to try to integrate it into the Eternal Blazing Sun Curse through repeated deductions.
Want to make the sun invisible and only visible to me?
Such a proposition would be considered a madman's idea even to countless whimsical wizards.
But the miracle was accomplished.
In Charles' mind, the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell was as dazzling as the sun. While retaining its blazing light and heat, its light was gradually dimming until it disappeared into thin air.
A deep blue reminder sounded immediately.
"Four deductions of the Luminescent Spell have been completed."
"The host has obtained an improved version of the fluorescent spell - the light that breaks invisibility."
"The host has obtained an improved version of the laser spell - the Edge of Night."
"..."
"The host has obtained an improved version of the Eternal Blazing Sun Curse - the Lightless Sun!"
