Harry Potter: I started checking in from Diagon Alley

The Dementors were like being hit head-on by the high-speed Hogwarts Express; similar to the raindrops earlier, they were uncontrollably shot out in the same direction as the magic.

At the same time, the parts of the Dementor's body that came into contact with magic began to dissipate and collapse piece by piece.

Whether it was limbs or the wide cloak worn by the Dementors, the moment they came into contact with Dumbledore's magic, they all turned to ashes and vanished into thin air.

The Dementor howled and screamed, then fled at its fastest speed ever.

When it finally managed to escape Dumbledore's magical influence, only its upper body remained, floating alone in the air.

The lower half of the body, including the hem of the robe, had completely vanished.

This Dementor has been visibly weakened.

It looks exactly like the Dementor whose head was devoured by the Guardian that Eric summoned.

Seeing the fate of their companion, the remaining Dementors awoke in shock and turned to flee.

They were as thirsty when they came, and now they are just as disheveled.

But Dumbledore had no intention of letting them go.

During this process, nearly half of the Dementors were affected by Dumbledore's magical outburst.

Some of them, like the first Dementor, lost the part of their bodies that they had directly contacted, while others only suffered minor injuries, but without exception, they all tried to stay as far away from Dumbledore as possible.

The professors' stands were located near the Hufflepuffs and Slytherins, directly opposite Eric and his group.

Many Dementors, in their panic, rushed toward the Gryffindor stands.

Everyone present stared in disbelief at the scene.

The magic emanating from Dumbledore was so solidified that it was visible to the naked eye, without the need for a mental field.

For example, Ron could clearly see that Dumbledore's actions were so powerful that they caused the air to vibrate.

Although he couldn't see the magic, he could see a semi-transparent, arc-shaped halo emanating from Dumbledore's hand.

Ordinary students have never seen anything like this.

The Dementors who had been so arrogant just moments before were all driven back in a single encounter.

The Weasley twins, still riding on their flying broomsticks, were the first to cheer.

"Long live!"

"Dumbledore!"

They spoke for many people.

Led by the Gryffindor students, most of them looked eagerly at Dumbledore's tall figure.

Dumbledore also came from Gryffindor.

As Gryffindor students, they had never felt so proud.

He truly deserves to be called the strongest wizard of our time!

Of all of them, only Eric noticed something was wrong.

How could a simple burst of magic possibly harm a Dementor?

It's not like he hasn't tried using spells on Dementors before.

Dementors have extremely strong resistance to spells other than Patronus Charms.

In some ways, they are even more difficult to harm by spells than dragons.

Spells are merely one manifestation of magic.

Spells are released based on the characteristics of the incantation, the casting gesture, and the wizard's belief.

Essentially, it is still just another transformation of the magic power within the wizard's body.

Just then, Eric noticed Dumbledore turn his head, glance briefly in his direction, and then turn his head back.

Ok?

Eric was startled. Dumbledore's expression wasn't obvious, but through his mental stance, he could sense that Dumbledore had indeed been watching him.

He thought it was just his imagination.

What was Dumbledore trying to express?

Eric focused intently, scanning the entire stadium.

Some of the Dementors, having been repelled by Dumbledore, are now fleeing in disarray toward Eric's viewing platform.

Through his understanding of the underlying principles, Eric finally discovered a clue.

The Dementors that Dumbledore had been driven away had faint, blinding white smoke emanating from their wounds.

This is……

Eric was very familiar with this phenomenon.

The white smoke, like flames, relentlessly scorched the Dementor's body, which was composed of emotional energy.

These white wisps are traces of the Guardian Angel's spell!

Eric also found the same traces in the aftershocks of magic emanating from mid-air.

Dumbledore's magical outburst was imbued with a Patronus Charm!

Chapter 82 Guardian Spell: Top-Tier

That's right.

Dumbledore's magical outburst was indeed imbued with a Patronus Charm.

Eric took another look to make sure he wasn't mistaken.

This understanding of spells completely departs from conventional usage.

Eric never imagined that the Guardian Charm could be used in this way.

"Treat the guardian deity as a part of yourself, and let the guardian deity act according to your will."

"The form of the guardian deity is not fixed."

Dumbledore's words in the headmaster's office echoed in Eric's ears once again.

[Ding, spell proficiency increased.]

[Guardian Spell: Top-tier.]

The system's voice sounded at the right time.

After analyzing Dumbledore's understanding of the Patronus Charm.

Eric's proficiency with the Guardian Charm actually increased by a whole level.

In Eric's mind, all the previous details about the Patronus Charm were connected by a simple and clean framework.

Whether it's the emotional supply when using spells or the form of a guardian deity.

During their conversation in the headmaster's office, Dumbledore directly addressed Eric's doubts about the Patronus Charm.

Now, he's demonstrating it directly to Eric.

The guardian spirit is the embodiment of a wizard's inner will.

The form is never fixed.

It can be changed at any time.

If you want to!

Eric had never had more confidence in the Patronus Charm than before.

The proficiency in spells becomes increasingly difficult to improve as you progress.

Dumbledore's two key insights into Eric directly enabled Eric to truly grasp the Patronus Charm.

A wizard's understanding of spells directly affects their combat abilities.

The same spell will definitely have different effects in the hands of Dumbledore and in the hands of an ordinary student.

Eric understood immediately, feeling incredibly comfortable all over, a faint thought flashing through his mind.

He didn't let go of that feeling.

Some of the Dementors that Dumbledore had repelled headed straight for Eric and his companions.

The Dementor was terrified and lost all interest in taking advantage of the student; all it wanted to do was escape.

But it was a Dementor after all.

Their sheer size alone provides ample intimidation.

Many of the younger students were so frightened that they burst into tears and ran off the field.

As the people around Eric began to run away, just as the professors had avoided the enraged Dumbledore earlier, Eric's departure highlighted him, forming a semicircle.

Luna cried out in alarm, "Run!"

She cried out and turned around, leaping over several steps, trying to pull Eric along to leave with the crowd, but Hermione, who had been following Eric, grabbed her arm.

Luna, puzzled, met Hermione's determined gaze and asked curiously, "Let's go together!"

“No, we don’t need that!” Hermione shook her head firmly and pulled Luna to stand next to Eric.

Luna was about to ask why when she noticed that even Ron, who had fallen to the ground in fright, hadn't left. Instead, he had hidden behind Eric as much as possible.

Ron was pale, but his eyes showed little fear of the Dementors.

Eric turned to Luna and smiled, "You'll be fine as long as you stay by my side."

After saying that, Eric, imitating Dumbledore, also raised his wand high, aimed it at the Dementors charging towards them, and began to gather magic.

Luna instinctively held her breath, staring in astonishment at Eric, whose actions were almost identical to Dumbledore's.

A terrifying sense of oppression, no less powerful than Dumbledore's, suddenly surged from Eric.

Luna watched helplessly as the air around Eric began to distort and deform.

In the pouring rain, the spot where Eric stood seemed to be radiating heat, as if it were about to burn everything around it to ashes.
