From Hogwarts to Strixhaven.

Chapter 156: Summon my fist in attack position

Although Ivy is already a wizard who can cast 6th-level spells, the most familiar lethal spell he is familiar with is still the chain "Avada Eats the Big Melon".

Because the Killing Curse is a well-known Unforgivable Curse, Ivy generally does not use it in a battle where bystanders cannot be cleared.

Apart from the Killing Curse, the second most powerful attack should be the ancient magic Thunder. Through the use of ancient magic, Ivy can release powerful lightning to attack. Generally speaking, those who are hit by this move will be turned into powder without exception.

However, the recovery speed of ancient magic is really not fast, so Ivy usually does not use it easily.

Faced with the ghosts hiding in the basement of the Opera Garnier, Ivy still prefers to use DND's magic to fight.

Firstly, he had just become a DND wizard, and the number of battles he had in this year was very few, far from the era more than a hundred years ago when dark wizards were rampant in the Forbidden Forest.

The best way to improve combat skills is of course to personally engage in combat. If Ivy had not used the fifth-level spell Light of Dawn herself, she would not have discovered that this spell could not be blocked by cover.

Perhaps similar situations are not uncommon in DnD spells, so Ivy can only gain truly useful experience in battle. As the saying goes, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Using the spells that you have been studying in battle is also a means of improvement. Ivy is not going to be a thorough academic mage. If he has the opportunity, he will definitely go to other planes and other worlds to take a look.

Ivy is not far from this method. When his wizard level reaches 13th, he will be able to learn the 7th-level spell of teleportation.

This conjuration spell transports up to nine people, including the caster, to a different plane of existence. The destination can be a location known to the caster or a place that is roughly described.

If the Harry Potter world that Ivy is in now is compared to a box, then through the existence of the Grimoire of Destruction, he has learned about another box outside the box - the country Tianyu where the DND series of stories takes place.

There is a multiverse collection that contains many worlds. Since Ivy can find many spells in the Tome of Destruction that do not belong to the DND5e version rules, it means that the worlds with multiple versions of DND rules may exist independently. Of course, they may also be in a fusion worldview.

Moreover, the expertise of Strijheimer and Yuan Xiang also revealed to Ivy the possibility of the existence of another multiverse group, that is, the Magic: The Gathering Universe, which belongs to Wizards of the Coast, the same company as DND.

Since the world of Harry Potter that exists in novels, movies, and games already exists, the two multiverses mentioned above must also exist. After all, Ivy can successfully cast the DND spell and create a Strixhall statue from scratch.

More mysterious and vast magical knowledge is almost right before his eyes, and Ivy will never give up on going to these universes to experience them.

But for now, Ivy has to deal with the Phantom of the Theater hiding underground first.

The dazzling beam of light formed by the dawn light disappeared after destroying the audience summoned by the Phantom of the Theater. But Ivy's Silence Spell had not yet ended. There was still no sound in the entire secret room, as if it was performing a pantomime.

Those destroyed ghosts left no trace, as if they had never existed. Ivy could only guess that the Phantom of the Theater had summoned them in some way, just like wizards cast spells to bring objects to life.

This was the first time he had seen a ghost that could cast spells. He had never seen the ghosts staying in Hogwarts use any magic before.

Ivy silently took out an exquisite little cage from the Grimoire of Destruction. He was not sure whether the Soul Cage would work on ghosts, because this spell was used to capture the souls of dead creatures, not on a dead mark.

A huge fire suddenly ignited in the secret room. The flames were silver, like leaping shadows. These silver flames did not raise the temperature in this enclosed space, but instead made the three living people exhale.

Ivy couldn't help but think of the Deathday party at Hogwarts. Every Halloween, the ghosts gathered in Hogwarts would hold a banquet in the basement of the hall. A large group of ghosts from all over the world would gather there to taste food that had long been rotten, and dance to sad music.

When many ghosts gather together, the temperature of the air will drop rapidly, as if their presence takes away the heat in the air. The silver flame burning in the secret room now seems to have the same effect as the ghosts gathering together.

Before Ivy could react, many milky white figures emerged from the walls of the secret room again. Unlike the last time, they ran for their lives, and each shadow's face was filled with extreme fear, as if they were avoiding some unspeakable monster.

fire!
They are hiding from the fire!

Among the desperate people were young ladies dressed in fancy clothes, band members in tuxedos, and opera singers who had no time to take off their costumes. The flames might be an echo of the past, including the figures running around in the secret room.

Ivy cast a spell again. He opened his palm and clenched it towards the space in front of him. A giant fist shining with golden light suddenly appeared in the space of the secret room and slammed forward fiercely.

All the shadows that were hit by the giant fist without time to dodge were melted. Even so, they were able to stop the flow of people from continuing to rush towards Ivy and the other two.

The giant fist shining with golden light is the 5th-level Shaping Spell Bigby's Palm. It is a transparent palm created by a force field. Its health is equal to the maximum health of the caster, and it has 26 points of strength and 10 points of agility. It can act according to the caster's commands and imitate the movements of the caster's palm.

Bigby's Palm can move at a speed of 10 feet per second and change into various forms according to the caster's instructions. The first form summoned by Ivy was the Diamond Fist. All targets hit by the Diamond Fist will suffer 4d8 force damage once, but Ivy obviously relied on the Awakening Grimoire to modify it into radiant damage.

Seeing that the milky white fleeing ghost that bypassed Bigby's Palm was about to merge in front of Ivy, he hurriedly gave Bigby's Palm more orders.

The giant hand loosened its fist and swept across all the ghosts in its path. The large number of ghosts meant that each individual was of low quality, but they all disappeared after being swept by the golden hand.

Ivy's command is the protective palm, which will faithfully block in front of the caster to provide him with cover. All targets who try to pass through the protective palm cannot pass through this force field palm if their strength is lower than or equal to the protective palm. Even if the target's strength is higher than the protective palm, the space where the protective palm exists is also a difficult terrain for them, which means that they will suffer a penalty of halving their speed when passing through.

The golden protective palm blocked Ivy and the fleeing ghost army, and behind him were the Delacour sisters hugging each other tightly. The duration of Bigby's Palm was still one minute, which meant that if Ivy and the other two did not take the initiative to attack, they would soon face the pressure brought by endless ghosts again.

Although being pierced by a single ghost would only feel a chill, like someone pouring cold water into your collar, if a person was pierced by many ghosts at the same time, they would face the risk of hypothermia and death. Moreover, the ghost wave that was rushing towards the three people was the enemy's masterpiece, and Ivy was unwilling to take the risk of being pierced by such a large group of ghosts.

Ivy sighed, raised his silver basswood wand again, and said clearly: "Expecto Patronus!"

A golden mist spurted out from the tip of the silver basswood wand, swirling around the three people. All the ghosts that passed through the mist disappeared.

The Patronus Charm is a very difficult spell, and its complexity is far beyond many magics. And when a dark wizard uses it, it is very likely to cause backfire, summoning many maggots to devour the caster.

Ivy has never denied his identity as a dark wizard, but he has always believed that he is a simple person who is simply pursuing magic.

When studying this spell, he also tried to integrate the arcane formula he summarized from DnD into it. The golden light mist that is different from the ordinary Patronus Charm is one of the proofs. Because the Patronus Charm can generally only be used to expel specific dark creatures, such as Dementors and Voldemorts. Even Dumbledore only invented the technique of letting the physical Patronus summoned by this spell convey information.

In other words, the Patronus Charm has no real offensive power. This has always been a flaw for Ivy, so he tried to incorporate light damage into this magic. However, so far, the revised Patronus Charm still cannot summon a physical Patronus, and Ivy always feels that there is a lack of opportunity.

He closed his eyes and thought about the year he had lived and studied in Hogwarts after the seal was broken. Ivy felt genuinely happy, and he was extremely glad that he still had the opportunity to continue using magic. He thought about every spell he cast, every beat of the silver lime tree wand, how he could feel the surge of magic in his body, and how his brain was filled with knowledge after using magic and reading books...

Every one of these memorable moments made Ivy laugh uncontrollably.

The golden light mist that diffused throughout the secret room suddenly changed, and a ferocious beast leaped out.

It was a giant dragon with four legs and wings. It had two smooth, metallic horns on its head. Every scale on its body was lifelike. Its spread wings almost took up the entire secret room. Its back with long fins was extremely broad, and its thick and powerful tail made it a majestic and wise beast.

As soon as the golden dragon summoned by Ivy with the Patronus Charm appeared, it used its huge body to destroy countless ghosts rushing in. The silver flames that originally caused the temperature in the secret room to drop continuously were no longer scary, because the golden dragon opened its huge mouth and sucked all the silver flames into its stomach like a whale sucking water, and then spit it out again, and the golden light mist immediately filled the entire secret room.

Under the influence of the golden light mist, Ivy's silent spell to block the transmission of sound also ended, and noisy sounds suddenly came from all directions, drowning people. To be honest, after getting used to the silence, the sudden noise is still quite uncomfortable.

"This is impossible! Who are you?" Ivy heard the voice of the Phantom of the Opera again. He was no longer as domineering as before, and every word he uttered was filled with deep fear.

The golden dragon stretched its huge head downward and completely sank into the floor of the secret room. This magical creature, like a ghost, had no collision volume and easily passed through the barrier of earth and rocks.

"Ah—what is this?" The Phantom of the Opera screamed.

The golden dragon raised its head again, and a milky white shadow was held in its mouth. It was the Phantom of the Theater who was so arrogant before!

The golden dragon closed its dagger-like teeth and swallowed the milky white ghost whole. Through the golden dragon's translucent neck, Ivy clearly saw that the Phantom of the Theater had not yet fallen into the golden dragon's stomach, but had melted like ice cream.

The dragon raised its head and roared silently. It flapped its wings and was about to fly. However, the next second, the sky was filled with golden light particles, which slowly fell down, looking like a golden rain. However, the beautiful scene only lasted for a short time. Before the golden rain fell to the ground, the secret room returned to darkness again.

In the silent darkness, a nervous voice spoke: "It's over? Right?"

Ivy lit up the fluorescent light of his wand and said with a smile, "Of course. We won."

"No!" A warm body crashed into his arms, and Ivy realized it was Furong, "You won, you saved us sisters."

In the fluorescent light emitted by the magic wand, before Ivy's hand could reach Fleur's shoulder, she felt a wet kiss on her cheek, accompanied by a loud "smack".

Ivy was stunned, but heard more "smacking" sounds, but he did not feel Furong's lips on his cheek again, and even the warm body in his arms disappeared.

Ivy moved the wand a little closer and saw that it was Fleur who was kissing her sister. Her love was pouring down like raindrops, causing Gabrielle to close her eyes and wave her hands around, almost drowning in her sister's love.

It seems that Furong's kiss did not contain any love between men and women, but only gratitude and relief for the rest of her life after the festival.

Ivy shook her head and said, "Well, Ms. Delacour..."

"Call me Furong." The silver-haired girl turned around and smiled brightly, and then Ivy couldn't understand the second half of her sentence.

It seems that the duration of language proficiency has expired.

"We should go out, Furong." Ivy blessed himself with proficiency in languages again and repeated Furong's name.
