Hogwarts Study Panel

Chapter 447, Section 445: Fierce Battle
"Our dear Professor Quirrell looks like he needs at least ten minutes?"

Dumbledore smiled.

Sheen didn't answer, but whispered it again:
"Please, Professor. No matter what happens, please do your best to destroy the Resurrection Stone."

"As you wish..."

Quirrell stared tremblingly as a ring appeared out of thin air behind him—Pukch, the butler, was drawing his bow and nodding at him with his nose raised.

It was obvious that Will had secretly obtained the ring from the Wizarding Book.

"cocoa……"

After a pause of one second, Quirrell looked at the two people beside him and finally couldn't help but speak up.

Pukki possesses mysterious magic, and the fairy race is indeed stronger than the newly enrolled young wizards.

However, the fairies were clearly no match for the powerful individuals among the upper wizards.

But now, standing between them is a newly enrolled young wizard, even less capable than Pukchi.

"Perhaps it will allow me to..."

Quirrell said haltingly.

Sheen shook his head.

If it were Professor Quirrell, this might not be a practical lesson.

Then, Fiendfire rose up, and Dumbledore's eyes narrowed even more.

Sheen flicked his finger, bent slightly, and simultaneously extended his wand forward:
[Name: Sheehan Green]

[Transfiguration Talent: Purple (Master Transfiguration title already granted). Note: Regular wizards have Green.]

Transfiguration Classification:

Magical Transformation: Expert Level (170/3000)

Matter Deformation: Expert Level (150/3000)

Soul Transformation: Expert Level (1500/3000)

[Evaluation: A wizard who has reached the master level in the field of Transfiguration, possessing the combat strength of a qualified Transfiguration master, and is undoubtedly one of the best in the magical world.]

Yes, when all the transformation techniques reached a high level of proficiency, Sheen's combat power evaluation system underwent another change.

But that's still not enough...

[Name: Sheehan Green]

[Dark Magic Talent: Gold (Blessed with the title of Dark Magic Saint). Note: Regular wizards are green.]

[Barrier Charm: Master Level (1700/?)]
Petrification Spell: Master Level (1100/?)

Divine Sharpness Shadowless Spell: Master Level (2300/?)

Shattering Spell: Master Level (100/?)

……

[Evaluation: You are a rare genius in the history of dark magic. Dark magic will embrace you. You are the born king of dark magic.]

Black magic is just two spells away from becoming a master, and in actual combat, black magic and polymorph are undeniably practical spells.

At night, the narrow road is lined with tall, dense hedges.

The dirt road was winding, potholed, and full of rocks, and like all the paths here, it went straight down to a small patch of dark woods below.

Sheen's eyes transformed into vertical pupils, his green pupils carrying a faint air of arrogance.

Dumbledore seemed to enjoy the sight; he raised his wand, held it close to his waist, and bent slightly forward.

From this point on, both of them had completed the rituals required before the duel.

"Fire Dragon Spreads Its Wings!"

Sheen murmured.

A fire dragon suddenly descended upon the dark forest, setting all the dry branches ablaze.

It opened its fiery maw, and its roar made Dumbledore smile slightly.

"A delightful exploration—have you read my notes?"

Dumbledore raised his hand, and the fire dragon vanished without a trace.

"Yes, Headmaster Dumbledore, some trivial explorations."

Sheen realized it was the reverse spell of Transfiguration—the Restoration Spell. Even though he cast Multiple Transfiguration on the dragon, he still couldn't stop Headmaster Dumbledore.

The gap between him and Headmaster Dumbledore was still too great. Difficulty, still difficulty... Facing Headmaster Dumbledore, even under the guise of a practical lesson, Sheehan only had one chance to make a move.

"Please be careful, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Sheen said abruptly.

He has always been afraid of magical outbursts and magic going out of control. All his transfiguration spells are based on the knowledge system that wizards have accumulated and created over thousands of years.

But stability does not equate to strength.

"Move the stone blocks out!"

"They've all turned to stone!"

Sheen did not hesitate; his spell combination technique allowed him to use two spells in an instant.

But that wasn't all; at the same time, he threw out a ball.

It was a portable anti-apparition barrier, engraved with an anti-apparition spell, capable of blocking a wizard's apparition for a certain period of time.

Sheen knew that the stronger the wizard, the shorter the duration of the barrier would be.

Therefore, he only gave himself one minute.

"Interesting creation, decent dueling skills."

Dumbledore gently waved his wand.

He conjured a gleaming silver shield out of thin air to defend himself.

Sheen didn't know what kind of spell it was, but her spell didn't damage the silver shield. A deep, gong-like tremor came from the silver shield—a strange sound that was chilling.

Dumbledore then looked at the stone pier running towards him, and at the pale-faced, cold-eyed little wizard.

He told himself to be careful...

Thinking of this, Dumbledore felt even happier.

As Dumbledore easily shattered the running stone pillar, Sheen remained calmly holding his wand.

He appeared motionless, but his robes inexplicably billowed.

Professor Quirrell would have a hard time stopping Headmaster Dumbledore, and Will would be dealt with by Headmaster Dumbledore in an instant.

In fact, his plan had always been for him to complete this difficult task.

This task was certainly difficult; even his old classmate Tom Riddle had failed to accomplish it—whether during Tom Riddle's time or during Voldemort's time.

In the battle of the Department of Mysteries, Voldemort was also the first to escape.

But there is still a chance for this task to turn around.

The turning point was that Sheen had no idea how strong he was.

In other words, he never unleashed his magic to its fullest extent.

Wizarding magic has always followed simple patterns.

The Theory of Magic frankly states:

When you master a spell, you also need sufficient mental strength to truly unleash its full power.

The spiritual power here includes emotions and the wizard's level of will.

Sheen rarely reveals his emotions, and he does not usually use emotion-driven magic.

But now he needs it.

He remembered that gray photograph, the warm candlelight in the Great Hall of Hogwarts, and the stumbling, arduous life of an old man.

Having lost his mother in childhood and lost love in his youth, he helplessly passed the days burdened by guilt and remorse for killing his own relatives.

Now, he wants to stop him.

"Fujiishi Guard!"

Sheen sings.

The entire valley trembled, and terrifying ravines split open in the ground where the bushes and hedges stood.

The rumbling sound startled flocks of sparrows.

Dumbledore was surprised for the first time.

Before him, a large hand made of vines and rocks held him firmly, separating him from the rest of the world.
