Who let this Dementor into Hogwarts!

Chapter 26: The Good Kids Think Avada Kedavra Is Too Inefficient
"I just think that the Avada Kedavra curse is too inefficient in killing people, so I want to learn the Imperius Curse."

Three days had passed since his last interview with Dumbledore, and Cohen came to Quirrell's office again on the weekend.

The Incorrigible Evil Dementor Child

Anyway, after leaving, Cohen secretly used his soul to go back and eavesdrop on what was happening in Dumbledore's office. His plan went smoothly, and now anything he did that violated school rules was Quirrell's fault.

If someone takes the blame, you can be bolder - of course, you have to be careful not to actually hurt the students.

"So the Imperius Curse can only hit one person at a time?"

Cohen said with great disappointment that in front of him were several rabbits that were under the Imperius Curse and were doing pole dancing.

"But, but... that's what the Unforgivable Curses are like..." Quirrell said with a cold sweat, "Isn't it enough to kill or control a person with a spell..."

"Is there a magic trick that lets you string together a bunch of wizards and then cast an Avada Kedavra curse to kill them all?"

Cohen recalls:
"This is more efficient—"

If he hadn't seen Coin casting the Unforgivable Curses as if they were Life Spells, Quirrell would have thought the person who said this was crazy.

But the person who said this was Cohen, so he just felt that Cohen was a natural-born "Dark Lord".

"Well... currently there isn't..." Quirrell said stiffly, "or rather, I haven't heard of it..."

Where does a little kid get so much negativity from using the Unforgivable Curses?
As expected, she was the child that the Dark Lord had taken a liking to...

After the extracurricular tutoring session, the kind-hearted Cohen took the rabbits back to the Room of Requirement to prevent them from continuing to be tortured by the dark wizard.

"I think you are more dangerous than a dark wizard," the Earl commented.

"The good owl can't have my roasted rabbit leg."

Cohen responded, flipping the roasted rabbit on a stick and sprinkling it with cumin.

Life should be like roasting rabbit in the Room of Requirement.

At this moment, the Room of Requirement has an extra kitchen in response to Cohen's request, and even has a brand new barbecue grill and a secret passage leading to the school kitchen - Cohen asked the elves for a bunch of barbecue seasonings.

Cohen liked this place more and more. It was like a paradise.

I'm thinking of living in the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts for the rest of my life, secretly moving in on graduation day, and then becoming a Hogwarts termite...

The count finally succumbed to the roasted rabbit, admitted that he was willing to go along with Cohen, and promised Cohen to take him to find the troll's lair.

For the rest of the weekend, Cohen slipped back into the Forbidden Forest.

Since he had souls to eat, Cohen had no intention of going to the dinner.

After all, apart from holiday dinners, there were always many students absent from the Hogwarts Great Hall because the Book King was everywhere - Cohen had seen Hermione packing dinner at noon more than once to save time reading.

The last Fire Ash Snake genocide plan caused Cohen's soul integrity to be stuck at 15%. This time, Cohen decided to shift his target to another creature in the Forbidden Forest.

Deep in the forbidden forest, the originally dim sunset could not penetrate the treetops, and it was almost dark here early.

The only light sources in the forest were small, glowing creatures flying around and pale blue fluorescent mushrooms on some tree trunks and exposed roots.

"Kaka——"

The lone Acromantula's claws snapped menacingly. It was just out to grab a bite—but a strange creature appeared in the forest.

The creature was wearing a cloak that looked like it had been soaked in water. It had scabbed hands and a rotten, hollow, and blurry body, floating in the air like a rag.

Although it was still several trees away, the instinctive fear made this lone eight-eyed giant spider want to escape immediately - so it was retreating while making threatening sounds.

[Soul Strength: 7]

Coin must attack in Dementor form immediately!
The next second, Cohen pounced on the eight-eyed giant spider, and his wide and rotten robe rustled in the wind.

Fortunately, unlike other Dementors, I don’t have to kiss mouth to mouth to suck souls. I just need to be within one or two meters of the target.

Otherwise, Cohen would definitely not touch these arthropods covered with hard thorns. Only the count would like to pick up insects.

Cohen swallowed the soul in one gulp, and he could clearly see the soul's strength increase on his system panel.

15.1%!

This is how to replenish the soul of a young eight-eyed giant spider!

After an animal's soul is taken away, its body will die soon.

But Cohen didn't just leave the giant spider alone to roam the forest—he gave the spider, which was actually dead, a little help.

This way, Cohen could safely obtain the venom from the giant spider's huge claws.

A pint of Acromantula venom alone could sell for one hundred Galleons - Cohen felt that Hagrid was simply a gold mine, and any rare species could be raised by Hagrid to become a disaster.

Then Cohen accepted the Galleons.

After taking a small bottle of venom, Cohen clearly saw that the spider's venom sac had shriveled up.

"It's a bit weak, it doesn't seem to last long."

Cohen commented with some regret.

Of course, one eight-eyed giant spider is not enough. Cohen plans to continue floating a distance into the forbidden forest to see if he can find more spiders.

Somehow, Cohen had never sensed any emotion in these animals, which meant that their souls were bland. Perhaps this was why other Dementors didn't attack animals? The Acromantula's tribe wasn't hard to find. Floating in the direction the young spider had just fled, Cohen soon spotted the sticky spiderwebs connecting the ground to the tree trunk.

These spiders were more like burrow spiders, and they didn't live in webs all the time. Those webs were more used to catch prey—Cohen had just seen a panicked stag run into one.

The next second, a giant eight-eyed spider that was chasing the stag quickly rushed out from the woods, and its claws pierced deeply into the stag's abdomen. After a twitch, the stag finally died.

The moment it died, more and more spiders began to crawl out from the surrounding area, including a few pups that looked only the size of hounds.

[Soul Strength: 7]

[Soul Strength: 8]

[Soul Strength: 6]

……

Due to food reasons, the population of the eight-eyed giant spider has always found it difficult to expand. After all, they cannot cross the boundaries set by the centaurs.

But today their savior Cohen is here!

Cohen helped them clear out half of the spiders in the colony so that they could continue to reproduce without restraint - and then Cohen continued to kill and they continued to reproduce.

Cohen is happy, Spider is happy too, win!

Acromantula eggs only take six to eight weeks to hatch, and Cohen feels he can sell Acromantula venom for the same price as ash snake eggs.

Those who made the potion were also happy, win again!
"Suck it-"

"Click——"

"Suck it-"

"Click——"

Under the cover of night, Cohen ate the souls of the eight-eyed giant spiders one by one from the edge of the spider group, while the eight-eyed giant spiders also shared the sturdy stag they had just caught.

Everyone was very content when they died. Cohen felt that if spiders had emotions, this place would be a pool of honey now.

In a short while, Cohen sucked up all the sixteen adult spiders and three young spiders around him, and his soul integrity reached 17%.

The next bottleneck hadn't yet arrived. Cohen had been planning to continue looking for spiders to kill, but an old man showed up.

"Kacha kacha——"

More and denser spider sounds came from all directions, surrounding the Dementor-like Coin. The one leading the group was an extremely old-looking spider with eight white eyes - Aragog.

[Soul Strength: 20]

In addition to Aragog, the older spiders around him also have a soul strength of 17 or 18 points.

Damn it, I only need thirty spiders to kill them all!
"Outsiders... leave here..."

Aragog's voice was angry and rough. He was very dissatisfied with Coin's behavior of killing his offspring.

"Oh."

Cohen ate the soul of a nearby eight-eyed giant spider - the soul's completeness had reached 17.1%.

Normally, they wouldn't be so cruel to intelligent creatures, but Cohen really didn't have a good impression of these spiders.

Hagrid raised and protected them, but during the Battle of Hogwarts, they turned against Voldemort and sided with him.

So...you're a fence-sitter, there's no need to reason with them, you deserve to be killed!

"Kill it—"

Seeing that Cohen refused to change despite repeated warnings, Aragog roared hoarsely.

The slightly more powerful spiders around it pounced on Cohen almost at the same time.

But they apparently didn't realize one thing: Cohen wasn't limited to hovering a foot off the ground—in fact, Cohen could fly much higher.

So when Cohen flew upwards, the spiders unsurprisingly missed him.

Spider silk and venom sprayed towards Cohen, but Cohen could avoid them by just dodging a little. He dived and climbed up, killing a few more spiders along the way - perhaps even an elite monster with 17 points of soul strength.

The soul completeness has reached 19%, so it’s time to stop now.

Cohen wandered through the woods, counting the spiders below.

It looks like there are still about twenty left, so they won't be wiped out by the centaurs who are hostile to spiders because of the sharp decline in their population. It shouldn't take long to make up for the dozens of spiders Cohen killed today.

[Ding! Goodwill value +33]

It’s a good thing indeed!

"Thank you for the treat. Good luck in having kids. I'll come again next time!"

"*** (acromantula swear word)!"

Cohen left a message to Aragog and his children with satisfaction, but unfortunately, the only response Cohen received was Aragog's angry curses.
