Chapter 94: Hogwarts is in shock! I would like to call Ciel the strongest!
The silver light of the Legilimency spell gushed out from Ciel's wand and hit Snape at close range.
Snape instantly felt as if his brain was hit by a sledgehammer.
His mind was already in a state of confusion, and the occlusion spell on his brain had loosened somewhat. At that moment, a crack was created in his brain's defenses, allowing the magical power of the Leviticus spell to invade.
Immediately, Snape's memories began to play out.
The child who grew up in the dark Knockturn Alley, who was of mixed-race descent and full of inferiority complex, met the Muggle-born witch named Lily by chance.
At that moment, under the sunlight, the withered lily petals in Lily's hands gradually revived, making her look like a pure angel...
The moment Lily appeared in her memory, Snape's Occlumency was instantly restored.
He is considered to be the most powerful Occlumency master in the wizarding world. He was able to evade even the temptations of Dumbledore and Voldemort, and was even able to forge memories without directly using his wand to cast Legilimency.
It was easy to resist the Legilimency that Charles released casually.
"Get out of here!"
"How dare you peek into my memories!"
Snape's voice roared in the mind like thunder.
Facing Snape's counterattack, Charles's Legilimency was like facing a wave hundreds of meters high. It collapsed at the first touch and kept retreating.
Just as Snape's eyes showed murderous intent, he even wanted to use this opportunity of mental confrontation between Legilimency and Occlumency to leave an irreparable trauma in Charles' spiritual world.
The next moment, the strength of Charles's Legilimency skyrocketed at an astonishing speed.
The growth rate was so fast that even Snape was stunned.
"How can this be?"
"How can there be such a rapid progress..."
Then, Snape gritted his teeth, his eyes fierce, and continued to launch a mental counterattack against Charles, hoping to crush Charles' spirit in one fell swoop.
What he didn't know was that while he was using Legilimency to fight Snape's Occlumency, the deep blue prompting sound continued to ring in Ciel's mind.
"The host has obtained advanced materials for Occlumency. The points required to deduce Occlumency will be greatly reduced."
"The host has obtained advanced materials related to Legilimency. The points required to deduce Legilimency will be greatly reduced."
"The host has obtained materials related to spiritual magic. The points required to experience spiritual magic will be greatly reduced."
"..."
A series of prompts almost filled the screen.
The progress of Legilimency that Charles was currently practicing was skyrocketing, but the points required were also decreasing.
At the same time, Ciel's already impressive brain occlumency skills were also honed in this mental confrontation, becoming even more resilient.
All this combined made Snape's mental counterattack seem to have landed on an unshakable reef.
No matter how high the waves are, the reefs remain unmoved!
The waves are gone, only the deep blue remains forever!
"The first deduction of Legilimency is complete. The host's Legilimency has become instinctive and can be used without a wand or spell."
"The second deduction of Legilimency is complete. The host's Legilimency has the ability to see through people's hearts. The host can tell at a glance whether the person in front of him is lying, and even see through his mental weaknesses."
"..."
The deep blue prompt sound continued, and this was what horrified Snape - the strength of Ciel's Legilimency was skyrocketing at an alarming rate, and seemed to be even more tricky, heading straight for the loophole in his Occlumency!
The scene that had just been interrupted continued to reappear, and Lily's appearance flashed in the memory.
The years when he and Lily were childhood sweethearts were the best time in Snape's memory.
Even when it appeared in such an attack and defense, there was tenderness in Snape's eyes.
However, Ciel didn't want Snape to relive such happiness.
The next second, Snape saw the Sorting.
This was the first time that something painful happened to him.
Lily went to Gryffindor and he went to Slytherin, and distance began to appear between them.
Then there were more and more pictures.
Barriers, barriers, more and more barriers emerge.
As the innocence of childhood sweethearts fades, the essential differences between the two become more apparent.
Lily was moving closer to light and love, while Snape was becoming more narrow-minded, madly worshipping the power of dark magic.
Arguments, arguments, and more arguments.
Especially when Lily began to be pursued by James Potter, the quarrels became more and more intensified.
Until that time, Snape was hung upside down by James Potter and humiliated in public, and his dignity was completely lost.
When this memory came to him, Snape was horrified.
"No, no!"
He roared in his mind, even pleading with Charles.
It was certainly painful for him to repeat this humiliating experience.
But over the years, Snape is no longer the student he was back then, and he has suffered all kinds of humiliation.
This part was not enough to break his defense.
What really frightened Snape was what happened next.
After being rescued by Lily, he angrily uttered the three unforgivable words - Mudblood.
From then on, Lily broke off her friendship with him and the two went their separate ways completely.
As Ciel ruthlessly flashed back this memory, Snape's spirit seemed to have suffered a severe blow, and the cracks in his brain occlusion were spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He regretted these three words throughout his life.
At this moment, Charles sneered in the spiritual world.
"Professor Snape, you are so stupid."
"Wouldn't it be possible to redeem you by replacing the unforgivable word 'mudblood' with some other insult?"
"You've spent your whole life regretting being a mudblood, but you don't regret your other vicious words?"
"If you say something wrong, especially something that hurts others and tramples on their dignity, you will pay an irreparable price. It seems that you haven't really repented enough."
"It's okay, let's continue."
Charles said faintly.
"James Potter, Potter, he is Harry Potter's father right?"
"So, Lily is Harry Potter's mother?"
"Then I'm very curious. They all say that they were killed by the mysterious man. Why did the mysterious man kill them personally? Why did he target a baby like Harry Potter?"
"I think your memory must have the answer."
Snape's spirit was on the verge of collapse, and his brain was covered with spider-web-like cracks and holes.
He already knew that he couldn't stop Ciel.
All he could do was to beg her not to recall the heart-wrenching incident again.
But Charles rejected him without any mercy.
"Oh, it's so touching and affectionate, but what does it have to do with me?"
The next moment, what Snape had done in the past emerged in his memory.
He overheard the prophecy about the "Son of Prophecy", but only heard half of it and didn't know who the Son of Prophecy was.
In order to take credit for it, he told Voldemort the prophecy.
Unexpectedly, Voldemort set his sights on Lily's child, Harry Potter.
Snape begged Voldemort to spare Lily, but he never expected that Lily would not be afraid of Voldemort, but sacrificed herself to protect Harry Potter...
When this bloody memory emerged, especially the anticipation and pride when Snape went to Voldemort to ask for credit, and the humility and pitifulness when he begged Voldemort, Snape was like a dead tree.
"Kill me, kill me..."
"I killed Lily."
"You meant to make me feel pain, didn't you? Now you did, kill me!"
Snape's mental voice was hoarse.
Charles sneered again.
"After Lily died, you confessed, right? But what did you confess?"
"You just confessed that your informant led to Lily's death. You are angry that Harry Potter implicated Lily. You are angry that James Potter did not protect her well..."
"But you never remember that if you do something wrong, you may regret it for the rest of your life."
"When you try to use the life of a child to achieve your own success, you pay with the life of the love of your life."
"Now, when you trample on the dignity of a group of children and cast a shadow on them for the glory of Slytherin and your own sense of superiority, you will pay with your reputation, honor, life and everything."
"Do you think this is the end? No, not at all!"
At this moment, the deep blue voice sounded again in Charles' mind.
"The fourth deduction of Legilimency is completed. The host obtains the spiritual magic - Mirror of Samsara."
"In the Mirror of Samsara spell, the host can create everything that is like reincarnation based on the memories of the cursed person, in which the cursed person's happiest and most painful experiences can be repeated over and over again, and the cursed person can even experience a brand new life..."
"In this process, the host can obtain all the secrets and the most crucial knowledge in the cursed person's memory..."
Charles' eyes lit up.
Snape was not a generous person by nature, and all of his good qualities were shown to Lily and Lily's continuation, Harry Potter.
Charles Evans? He has a dirty relationship with Lily?
Because of this, since he had decided to take action against Snape, Charles didn't want to leave such a disaster behind.
However, Snape's knowledge is quite important to Charles.
Not only the material for Occlumency, but also the knowledge of Potions.
If Charles wants to obtain the second magical Animagus transformation, he also needs an atavism potion to increase the blood concentration of the three-headed dog Fluffy, so as to obtain the transformation into the three-headed dog of Hell.
Originally, he was planning to find an opportunity to make a deal with Snape and let Snape conduct relevant research for him.
As long as Snape can come up with an idea, Ciel can use relatively fewer points to let Deep Blue deduce and complete it.
But now, Snape is useless. After digging out his value, Ciel will develop the atavism potion by himself!
The Mithril wand was pressed against Snape's temple again, followed by a mental spell derived from Legilimency.
"Mirror of Samsara..."
"Triple cast!"
Without holding back at all, Ciel wanted to complete it all before Dumbledore and the other professors arrived.
The mental burden that the triple spellcasting and reincarnation realm brought to Charles was so great that blood was flowing from his nostrils. His mind felt dizzy as if he had been through three days and three nights, and there were bursts of tingling pain.
But what followed was that Snape's mind fell into complete confusion.
In front of Snape's eyes, memories related to Lily kept repeating.
Happiness and pain are constantly intertwined.
The joy of meeting and making friends with Lily will make the subsequent pain more obvious.
The more painful it is, the more precious happiness seems.
After this repetitive cycle, Snape's brain-blocking technique completely fell apart.
His own spirit was completely lost in the mirror of reincarnation and was on the verge of collapse.
Until a certain moment.
"Snape?"
Lily's voice rang in his ears. Snape opened his eyes blankly, and before him was Lily with a concerned look on her face.
"Why did you fall asleep?"
"We're almost at Hogwarts. We need to get ready to get off."
Snape stared blankly at the scenery on both sides and found himself on the speeding Hogwarts Express.
He looked in the mirror and found that he seemed to have returned to the age of eleven.
Everything in my memory is fading away rapidly like a nightmare.
Ecstasy surged in Snape's heart, and he couldn't help but grab Lily's hand, causing Lily's eyes to widen and her cheeks to flush.
“This time, those things will not happen again.”
Snape swore to himself.
Everything that was going to happen next surfaced in his mind.
He carefully handled his relationship with Lily and everything after the Hogwarts Sorting.
He did not throw himself into the embrace of the dark arts again, nor did he listen to the instigation to join the Death Eaters. Instead, he kept a distance from his bad friends.
He and Lily have always maintained a very close relationship, and the estrangements and quarrels that once left a deep impression on him have never happened again.
He also used the potion knowledge that was impressed in his memory to become a remarkable new star in the field of potions. In his fifth year, he had already become a potion master, and fame, honor and wealth followed.
James Potter, who originally made him feel a little inferior, was nothing in front of him.
Finally, one night, he brought Lily to the Black Lake, confessed his love to her under the bright moonlight, and got Lily's nod.
At that moment, Snape felt joy from the bottom of his soul.
All he had to do was eliminate one more minor threat, and Lily would be his forever.
James Potter will never be allowed to harass Lily again in this life.
It's very simple to make, just one potion is enough.
With Snape's arrangement and design, everything went so smoothly.
James Potter fell seriously ill and passed away unexpectedly, but no one doubted Snape, who had always been polite and respectful to James.
Until one day, Lily saw his notes and saw a potion that behaved exactly like James Potter's.
At that moment, Snape's world collapsed again.
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was on the Hogwarts Express again.
Snape blinked in surprise, and then he was filled with the same ecstasy.
"We must learn from this lesson again this time."
"Lily can't see the notes. Or rather, there's no need to leave any notes."
"Who takes notes, seriously?"
So everything followed the same trajectory as before, except that it went much more smoothly this time.
James Potter died, and Lily didn't find out until graduation. Snape started his new life as he wished.
Until an unknown potion master whom he had never cared about in the past came to his door and maliciously revealed the truth about James Potter's death that he had been researching and investigating.
Snape killed him without hesitation.
But the consequence of this incident was that the truth was revealed again.
He was back on the Hogwarts Express again.
Snape clenched his fists and decided not to bother with James Potter in this life.
However, this time, James Potter pursued Lily passionately.
What Snape feared happened.
No matter how famous he is, no matter how powerful he is, no matter how little James Potter means to him, Lily still loves James Potter more.
No matter what, it seems that he and Lily will not be able to make it to the end.
Countless reincarnations, all with the same ending.
Until the last reincarnation.
This time, James Potter no longer existed, and Snape married Lily and had children like a dream.
This time there is no war, no dark clouds, everything is peaceful and beautiful.
Snape witnessed the little changes in Lily in his mind.
Lily couldn't understand the field of potions that he was deeply involved in.
The help he needed, Lily couldn't provide.
As for emotional comfort, Snape no longer needed it.
He discovered with horror that he had never really understood Lily. Except for their childhood, they had not had an open conversation about anything for a long time.
What made Snape even more terrified was that a younger Potions apprentice who looked more like Lily in her youth appeared beside him.
She could understand his pain when he encountered the potion problem, his ambitions, and even his unrequited and anxious love for Lily and his deep-seated fear...
At this moment, a question that Snape had never thought about pierced his heart sharply.
What exactly do I love about Lily?
Is it the little half-blood wizard who has low self-esteem, no friends, and a disharmonious family, who finally gets the gratitude and appreciation from his friends after seeing the little witch?
Is the love that follows still love, or is it something that cannot be obtained?
Without letting such doubts spread in his mind, Snape seemed to understand something and looked up at the sky.
"You won't succeed."
"My love for Lily is unshakable!"
Snape gritted his teeth, raised his wand towards himself, and released it on his own initiative, ending this cycle.
After this reincarnation, Snape's spirit had completely collapsed and he went insane, so much so that the Mirror of Reincarnation was no longer effective.
Snape himself fell to the floor of the office like mud.
Charles showed surprise on his face, but for him, the goal had been achieved.
After so many reincarnations, Charles already knew all the magic that Snape knew and the potions that he learned.
The deep blue notification sound almost filled the screen.
"The host has obtained the advanced materials for the Hanging Golden Bell Curse..."
"The host has obtained the advanced materials for the Divine Sword Shadowless Spell..."
"The host has obtained advanced black magic materials..."
"The host has obtained advanced materials for potion science..."
Coupled with the Legilimency and Occlumency materials he had previously obtained, Snape's value had been completely squeezed out.
Charles said faintly.
"Then the next thing should be the last one."
……
At the same time, the little Hufflepuffs had followed Ciel's instructions and explained to Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout and Dumbledore how Snape had insulted and humiliated them.
At this moment, no matter what they felt in their hearts, several professors and the principal were furious.
After hearing that Charles was going to teach Snape a lesson angrily, Professor Sprout, the head of Hufflepuff, was even more worried and rushed to the office of the head of Slytherin.
Her concerns were simple.
Snape had been a Death Eater, and they all knew that.
God knows what Snape can do to Ciel in his anger?
Professor McGonagall also looked at Dumbledore meaningfully. Before she got a response from Dumbledore's deep blue eyes, she rushed over with Professor Flitwick.
No matter what, they couldn't let Ciel be harmed by Snape.
The mental humiliation suffered by the little Hufflepuffs has brought shame to Hogwarts.
If something happened to a genius like Ciel again, the reputation of Hogwarts would be completely ruined, and they as professors would be extremely heartbroken.
When several professors rushed out, something even more unexpected happened to them.
The corridor was packed with students from Hufflepuff.
In addition, students from Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, from lower grades to higher grades, and even the seventh-year students who were about to graduate were all standing here.
They gnashed their teeth.
"Professor, Principal..."
"We have to help Ciel too!"
"Old Bat Snape deserves it!"
"He is extremely biased and mean to us students from other colleges. I don't know how many people are afraid of taking Potions classes, and how many people have cried because of being scolded in Potions classes."
"No one likes Snape except the Slytherins!"
"We support Ciel, and we're going to help Ciel beat up the old bat!"
Seeing this scene, Professor McGonagall and others looked at Dumbledore, and the meaning in their eyes was already very clear.
Dumbledore didn't know what to think and lowered his head.
He really didn't expect that the resentment Snape caused in Hogwarts had reached this point.
But I don't have time to think about these things now. I will deal with Snape later. Now I have to save Charles Evans first.
Dumbledore and several professors rushed towards Slytherin, followed by a large crowd of students.
They rushed to the door of the Slytherin Headmaster's office.
Just as Dumbledore waved his wand to force open the office door, the office door opened by itself.
With a swish, all the students took out their wands and pointed them at the door with a common hatred, intending to curse old bat Snape who came out.
But the next moment, Charles' figure appeared in their sight.
In the office was the unconscious Malfoy and the unconscious Snape who was lying on the ground.
At this moment, no matter it was Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick, Professor Sprout or a group of students, they all stood there in a daze, as if they were under some kind of immobilization spell.
Hannah and Hermione, who were worried about Ciel, opened their mouths in confusion.
"Charlotte..."
The usually lively Weasley twins were also stunned.
"He beat the old bat?"
The next moment, there was a loud uproar, and the sound like a landslide and tsunami was really going to overturn the dome of Hogwarts.
Countless eyes firmly remembered the scene of Ciel walking out of the Slytherin Headmaster's office.
A first-year student, on the first day of class, knocked the Slytherin headmaster to the ground to seek justice for his classmates.
This is a legend that has never appeared in the thousand-year history of Hogwarts!
At this moment, no one doubted Ciel's title as the strongest anymore.
Even the young wizards who were Dumbledore's loyal fans couldn't help but shout along with the people around them.
"Ciel Evans, the King of Luminescence, the strongest in Hogwarts!"
(End of this chapter)
