Chapter 67: Ciel's killing curse! Deducing the patronus!
When the time and space marking spell cast by Charles printed the word "demolish" on the coffin.
The Dragon Blood Sea, which was originally raging with bloody waves, calmed down because of this.
It seemed as if the beings in the coffin were all shocked by this unstoppable marking magic, and they began to feel fear in their hearts.
Such strange magic was unheard of even though he had existed in the magic world for so long.
Is this symbol printed on his coffin some kind of magic circle, or a rune with special powers?
Charles's performance was beyond his expectations, forcing him to concentrate and be on guard.
Just a moment later, the being in the coffin reviewed all the magical knowledge in his mind, and his expression gradually changed.
He could confirm that the symbol printed on his coffin was not any known word or rune.
After it was printed, nothing else happened.
Like it was just a simple mark.
And the existence in the coffin also dug out the meaning of this text in a corner of his mind.
It seems to be a text from some oriental country, and it means——
Demolition?!
When he realized this, his shock and anger were truly beyond words.
It is a great shame to have such a mark printed on one's coffin. It is really a great shame!
A low roar came from within the coffin, the iron chains wrapped around the coffin clanged, and the coffin lid began to tremble continuously, as if something was trying to get out of it.
In the sea of dragon blood, raging waves far more ferocious than before were surging one after another.
Those bone dragons also roared angrily.
"Are you humiliating me?"
"Wizard, you have no idea what you have done, or what kind of being you have angered!"
"Even Dumbledore can't protect you forever. No matter how much it costs, I will crawl out of the coffin and make you pay the price!"
As the being in the coffin became furious, Charles could see a red light emerging from the shadow in front of him.
A sense of crisis arose from this, which made his scalp tingle.
It seemed that even through the shadow, the spell that was being brewed by that existence would pose a fatal threat to him.
Ciel estimated that his wizard form would not be able to withstand this spell.
Even if he transformed into an ancient dragon and used his most powerful dragon language magic - Storm Call to fight against this spell, he would probably suffer heavy damage.
"Is this the strength of the old monster hidden in the magic world?"
"Yes, Nick Flamel can survive until now with the help of the Philosopher's Stone, and Voldemort also has the Horcruxes. How could those former wizards and powerful figures in the wizarding world not have similar means to prolong their lives?"
"The accumulation of power over the long years is enough to make their strength even more terrifying. According to what the being in the coffin said, although they are afraid of Dumbledore holding the Elder Wand, they can definitely fight him."
Charles felt a little heavy in his heart.
He is very strong now, extremely strong.
Ordinary wizards were like playthings in front of him, even most of the professors at Hogwarts and the so-called elite Aurors of the Ministry of Magic were no exception.
But Charles still felt that he was still some distance away from reaching the level of Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and Voldemort.
Not to mention anything else, Grindelwald's Fiery Fire Curse alone was enough to burn down a small city, and even if Ciel used Storm Calling now, he couldn't match it.
This was Grindelwald decades ago, when Dumbledore didn't even have the Elder Wand in his hand.
Now, if Dumbledore were to use his full strength, the destructive power he would display would probably be far greater than that of Grindelwald in the past, and Charles would be far from being able to reach that level.
And the old monster hidden in Romania is an existence of that level.
However, although he was extremely fearful in his heart, Charles did not show it on his face, and his expression even became more arrogant.
When he didn't have enough deduction points, he chose to deduce the Apparition first. Why?
Isn't it just about being able to escape at times like this?
Looking at the red light in the shadow, Charles' face showed a crazy expression.
"Old man, you're already lying on the bed and you're still restless, do you want to get out?"
"Then I'll have to weld the lid of your coffin shut!"
"A spell fight, huh? Come on, watch me cast a spell!"
Immediately, the mithril wand in Charles' hand burst out with dazzling green light.
The unforgivable curse came out of Charles' mouth very smoothly.
"Avada Kedavra!"
When hearing the curse, the being in the coffin was startled.
A death curse?
Even though he was in the coffin, he had heard of this famous spell and had his servants perform it for him.
Regarding this spell, he could only say that just like the dragon language magic of the ancient dragons that once amazed an era, the Killing Curse, a spell with instant death attributes, was also a masterpiece of this era, a pure work of a madman.
Whenever a wizard of the same level or one level weaker than him casts this spell, he has to be extremely careful to make sure he is not hit, otherwise he will be in real trouble.
But how could a young wizard like Charles have such a strong desire to kill that he could use the Killing Curse without any hesitation?
I haven't paid attention to the outside world for a few years, and the magical world has become like this?
And just as Charles chanted the killing curse, a dazzling green light swept out from the tip of the staff like a tide, drowning everything in front.
Seeing this scene, the being in the coffin felt his scalp tingling.
Is this a killing curse?
Isn't the Killing Curse a single-target spell? When did it become a range spell?
Who taught Ciel to cast the Killing Curse like this? The Ministry of Magic should keep him in Azkaban until he dies! Then, thinking of Ciel's previous extremely weird and unstoppable marking magic, the being in the coffin felt a little empty in his heart.
He dared not underestimate Charles's curse anymore.
What if this outrageous killing curse is as strange and unpredictable as the previous one, and cannot be blocked or avoided at all?
Immediately, the spell that was ready to be cast in the coffin paused, and the being concentrated on preparing to deal with this killing curse.
But just when his bloody spell paused, a playful look appeared on Charles' face.
He really didn't know how to cast the Kedavra spell. The Avada Kedavra spell was just a prelude to long-distance Apparition, and it was quite effective in confusing powerful enemies.
As for the green light that swept across like a tide, it was merely the application of the fluorescent spell.
With Ciel's mastery of the fluorescent spell, doing this is easier than eating or drinking.
But the combination of the two successfully allowed the being in the coffin to interrupt its dangerous magic, buying Ciel time to Apparate over a long distance.
So when the being in the coffin was still concentrating on guarding against the "Killing Curse", a smile appeared on Charles' lips.
With a loud bang, his figure disappeared from the spot.
In the shadow that appeared in Knockturn Alley, the being in the coffin was stunned for a moment before realizing that he had been tricked.
What is the killing curse?
I was just stalling for time, but I ended up getting cheated!
Being teased and humiliated time and again by an eleven-year-old wizard really broke the defenses of this self-proclaimed ancient and noble being.
"Ahhh, Dumbledore, look at what you taught!"
The sea of blood was surging and the bone dragon was roaring.
"Little wizard, just wait for me, just wait for me!"
……
At the same time, Charles' figure appeared in a forest.
After confirming that he was no longer being targeted by the being in the sea of blood, Charles breathed a sigh of relief.
It will be really troublesome if we get caught up again.
Even though this old guy doesn't seem to be very smart, his strength is unquestionable.
Even from such a distance, he was able to reveal his shadow through the marks left on the vampire lord's servants, and even cast powerful magic from a distance.
This also served as a reminder to Charles.
"There are so-called ancients and great old ones in the magic world. With a mysterious place like R'lyeh, it's normal for there to be more ancient beings in other places."
"I thought I was already very strong, but now it seems that the strong strength in the original book may not be enough to dominate the magic world."
Thinking of the sea of dragon blood and the mountain of dragon bones, Charles felt his eyes brimming with envy.
"How many deduction points does that require?"
"It's a pity that I'm not strong enough, otherwise I could just Apparate over and demolish it, and that would be a huge bounty!"
He took a deep breath, his eyes showing determination.
"I prefer to take the initiative rather than letting that old monster come out of the coffin."
"We still need to improve our strength."
Then, Charles concentrated on thinking.
Although he had no idea of his identity and origin when dealing with that old monster this time, Charles could be sure of one thing: he was definitely not a good person.
Just from the sea of dragon blood and the several types of magic displayed by the other party, it can be seen that the magic is most likely related to blood, controlling death, etc.
In addition, with the vampire lord as his servant, sleeping in the coffin, a guess gradually emerged in Charles' mind.
"This old monster might also be a vampire."
"Even if it's not, it still belongs to the category of dark creatures, and has nothing to do with light, holiness, or anything like that."
"In that case..."
Ciel's thoughts finally fell on the Clean Ground spell that made him invincible against ordinary wizards.
This spell was derived from the expelling spell against dark creatures and dark wizards. If it is further deduced, it should have a stronger effect against dark creatures.
At the same time, Ciel also remembered the Patronus Charm that he had obtained a long time ago but had never had the extra points to deduce.
In terms of restraining dark creatures, the Patronus Charm is even better than the Exorcist Charm and is almost the highest representative of sacred magic in the original work.
Charles' eyes showed anticipation.
The original Patronus Charm is very effective against dark creatures and is the only means to deal with Dementors. So if he and Deep Blue work together to deduce it, to what heights will it be pushed?
The next moment, Charles said decisively in his mind.
"Deep Blue, the Pure Land Spell, the Patronus Spell..."
"Keep on deducing in the direction of the dark creatures!"
