The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts

Dumbledore smiled and nodded.

The reason why he brought Link this time was not only because of Link's active request, but also with some intentions to examine Link's exact abilities and to teach Link something.

And so far, Link's performance has made Dumbledore very satisfied.

"Then let's go." Dumbledore said, "Actually, to tell you the truth, there is indeed a Horcrux nearby, and I have already sensed its exact location."

Link pouted and said nothing.

He had already guessed all of this.

What surprised Link was that the next Dumbledore did not take Link to find the Horcrux for the first time, but imposed a large number of structures on the entire Riddle House before leaving, similar to the previous ones. A fiery magic trap.

These magic traps are densely filled in every corner of the old house, so that the magic level in the old house has risen a little.

The explanation given by Dumbledore is to use this method to protect the crime scene from others coming in and destroying it.

But no matter how Link looked at it, he felt that Dumbledore was avenging Voldemort for setting a trap for him.

Dumbledore kept busy like this until the moon was high before he led Link out of the old house, walked through the back gate of the fence all the way to the back of the hill, and finally stopped in front of an open wasteland.

"This is... a cemetery?"

Looking at the broken tombstones on the wasteland in front of him, which were twisted and crooked among the dead grass and rubble, Link said with some uncertainty.

"Yes, this is a cemetery. The cemetery of the Gaunt family."

Dumbledore said expressionlessly, and while speaking, he dug up a piece of iron fence gate that was almost rotten from the soil beside his feet.

Most of the details on it have been erased by time, but the S-shaped emblem at the top, which is made of an iron snake, still maintains its general shape.

"It's the hallmark of Slytherin."

Link sneered and said, "It's funny that a bunch of guys named Gaunt are using the Slytherin logo as their family crest."

Dumbledore also seemed to be amused by Link, and said with a smile:

"It's hilarious, but who made the Slytherin Descendants' name get them enough respect and interest?

And it's a Gaunt family tradition.

If you don't believe me, you can see Tom. Wasn't he also reluctant to admit his surname Riddle and changed his name to Voldemort? I bet he'd be very angry if you called him Tom Riddle in front of him now. "

After saying that, Dumbledore seemed to think of the real scene, and laughed even more happily.

Link smiled happily.

It wasn't how funny Dumbledore's jokes were, but he thought the very fact that someone like Dumbledore was joking with him was funny in itself.

It's a pity that Link's good mood didn't last long.

Because Dumbledore quickly took out his wand and fired a red beam of what appeared to be a disarming spell over the wasteland ahead.

Snapped!

Dumbledore obviously didn't use much force. After his Disarming Charm hit the ground, it only exploded into a small hole and then completely dissipated.

But his behavior was like flipping a switch.

A series of rustling sounds continued from all around the wasteland, as if something was burrowing out of the ground.

"Link, this is the last level where Tom stays to defend his Horcrux." Dumbledore patted Link on the shoulder and said, "I hope you can solve this problem alone, come on!"

"Wait! Dumbledore you're talking about..."

Link was shocked when he heard the words.

Turning to question.

Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, Dumbledore disappeared completely.

At the same time, the initiators of those rustling noises finally appeared in front of Link.

It was one corpse after another.

The clothes on their bodies were tattered, and the styles were from ancient to modern. Link even saw a guy in a tuxedo, a high-horned hat, and gold teeth in his mouth.

Time has left a lot of corpse spots and rot marks on their pale bodies, but now they have crawled out of their resting places and stumbled towards Link.

This kind of scene with dozens or hundreds of corpses pouring in at the same time, like the outbreak of a biochemical crisis, will definitely make ordinary people feel weak.

But after seeing their faces clearly, Link was greatly relieved.

For no other reason, Link recognized the true identities of these corpses—living corpses.

A corpse is a dark magic creation.

Its production principle is to use magic and various alchemical materials to repair the corpse, and refine the corpse into a puppet that only obeys the maker.

Link has seen accounts of living corpses in the original book and in the book "The Secret of Cutting Edge Dark Magic".

It is a pity that the detailed production process on it has been erased by Mrs. Foley, and only a general introduction has been made.

The method of making living corpses is quite ancient, dating back to the Middle Ages.

Wizards at that time often slaughtered Muggles in large numbers, making living corpses for use in wars between wizards.

However, their combat capabilities are actually not too strong.

Because their actions are generally slow, their attack methods are monotonous, and their attack intensity is not high, some of them are similar to the loss in film and television, but they are not contagious.

After fully recognizing the enemy he needed to face, Link immediately raised his wand and controlled a large force of curse to form a blade that shot out from the tip of the wand and attacked the surrounding corpses.

Living corpses are still corpses in essence, and their physical strength is not that high, so Link's spell should be able to easily settle these living corpses.

At the beginning, the situation was exactly what he thought.

Those controlled invisible blades invaded the corpse like chopping melons and vegetables. Wherever they went, the stumps and arms kept flying, and all the living corpses were as fragile as butter like hot knives in front of them.

But what happened next was somewhat unexpected to Link.

I saw that the chopped up living corpses did not lose their ability to move like Link imagined.

They seemed to be able to perceive the lack of their own limbs, and soon they found the body parts around again, regardless of whether it was their own, whether the parts were accurate or not, they directly pressed them on themselves and continued to attack Link.

This directly creates a bunch of weird corpses with arms on their feet, feet on their stomachs, or other parts.

As for some who couldn't find their limbs, they gave up later, just lying on the ground and using the remaining limbs, and even struggling with their teeth to move towards Link.

On top of that, Link's attack seemed to anger them.

The movement speed of the corpse group has not slowed down compared to before, but has become faster.

Link's brows furrowed.

Thinking of the introduction about zombies in his previous life, he also tried to smash the heads of living corpses.

However, the result has not changed at all.

Even if those living corpses lost their heads, they would come to Link resolutely under the guidance of some kind of strange magic.

Looking at the group of living corpses with disorganized bodies and many hands and feet, Link finally felt a little pressure.

He no longer hesitated, and the powerful magic power roared out, turning into a monstrous flame, an invisible blade, and a red glow to attack the corpse.

Since the absence of limbs cannot destroy them, then it is good to destroy every inch of their flesh!

This is not too difficult for the current Link!

Flames and invisible blades enveloped the entire cemetery in a very short time.

Under the influence of this powerful force, many living corpses were directly turned into ashes.

But more living corpses gathered together.

They hugged each other tightly in a tragic gesture that was almost like ants piling up into ant balls to fight the fire.

Seeing this, Link showed no mercy, and he controlled these magical flames and rushed towards the ball.

The result of this was that the corpse ball began to slowly shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye, like an ice cream ball lit by the blazing sun.

However, there seems to be something hard inside the ice cream ball composed of living corpses.

No matter how Link attacked, when the corpse ball was melted to only one-tenth of its size, it didn't change at all.

Then, Link was stunned to find that the remnant ball at the center of the flame moved.

It slowly stretched out, and quickly rushed out of the fire with an extremely strange posture of 5 feet on the ground!

"Hi!~"

Seeing that it was really behind Link, he took a deep breath.

Link really doesn't know how to describe this monster, because it's just weird and huge, but the body full of human body traces is so terrifying to the limit of human endurance, even Link can be said to be a guy who is used to seeing killing scenes. Couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Is this... a living corpse?"

Link muttered to himself, and at the same time kept throwing various spells in his hands.

However, these powerful spells that could easily obliterate living corpses before had lost their former prestige when facing this aggregated monster, and could only play a role in slowing the monster's charge.

"Yes, and no." Dumbledore's voice suddenly sounded in Link's ear, "Whether it's the God's Shadowless Charm or the Blazing Flame Charm, the method you use to deal with the living corpse is actually correct. But the problem is, These corpses are Tom's work.

Tom has obviously improved the production method and material strength of the living corpse. Those magical flames you unleashed, and those attacks, couldn't completely destroy them all. Instead, a man-made furnace and blacksmith's hammer were created for them, and they were forged like iron from a group of living corpses into a more powerful monster that was immune to your attacks.

Still an old question, Link! Your control of the power of the curse is indeed very subtle, but the attack power used is too low.

The essential reason for this situation is not that your magic power is not strong enough, but that you have chosen the wrong direction of research.

The reason why the power of curse is feared and feared by people lies in its strange and irreversible characteristics.

And look what have you done?

With the power of the curse, it will become a knife blade, a stabbing ball to stab someone, a hammer to hit someone, and...

You have only been using the power of the curse to do physical attacks all the time, and the use of the power of the curse is only superficial.

I hope that in the future you can focus your research on the characteristics of the power of the curse itself, rather than the changes in the form of the power of the curse.

This is my first lesson with you, and I hope you will keep it firmly in your mind.

Of course, this cannot be done overnight. So leave the rest to me. "

While speaking, Dumbledore's figure slowly appeared beside Link, and he pulled out his wand with a smile.

Link was lost in thought.

Due to the successful improvement and development of "evaporation", "leifa" and even a series of mischievous spells, it has always put the nature and morphological changes of the spells at the top of his research.

To this end, he even re-read a lot of Muggle books on chemistry and physics, hoping to get more inspiration from them.

However, with little success.

In fact, Link's strength has fallen into a bottleneck since a long time ago.

His current strength growth is almost entirely dependent on physical development and the growth of magic and spiritual power brought about by meditation, which has nothing to do with the development of his magic spell.

But what Dumbledore said just now opened the door to a new world for him.

'The magic spell brought about by the change in nature may indeed be more gorgeous and weird, but perhaps the most powerful development direction of the magic spell is - purification! ’

Thinking like this, Link's eyes lit up more and more.

At the same time, Dumbledore had also raised his wand, ready to help Link deal with the living corpse in front of him.

But before he could actually make a move, Link's voice made his movements abruptly froze.

"Wait, Headmaster Dumbledore, maybe I can..."

Link's words paused for a while, followed by a brief chant, "Burn it up!"

The mighty power of the curse resurfaced from the tip of his staff.

But this time, it turned into an invisible blade like before, and instead enveloped the corpse gathering monster as gentle as the morning mist.

Then, as Link's wand slammed down, all the power of the curse began to vibrate violently, and finally turned into endless dark red flames!

"Are you hot?"

Dumbledore looked at the scene in front of him and said, and the eyes he looked at Link became inexplicably complicated.

But at this time, Link didn't have time to pay attention to Dumbledore's expression. He was focusing on controlling these devil flames transformed by the power of the curse!

Under Link's control, Li Huo showed a power that was far more terrifying than when he was in the old house.

The black fire that filled the sky gathered and concentrated without any pause, forming a fire snake that looked like Arkham, biting fiercely at the aggregate of living corpses. The living corpse aggregate could not escape, and was directly bitten.

"Wow!!"

The shrill screams kept coming from the flames.

From Link's point of view, all he could see was a flaming python that was constantly tossing and struggling.

Then, the screams gradually stopped, and the flame python gradually quieted down.

But at the same time, Link's expression became more serious.

Casting Fiery Fire is actually not too difficult.

The real difficulty of the curse of fiery fire lies in how to extinguish it.
