Start by logging into the Old Man's Ring at Hogwarts

What's this energetic young man thinking?

What happens after that? Hagrid mentioned there are several challenges ahead.

Was he planning to just barge in like that?

Hermione sighed helplessly and went back to her dorm to prepare her gear.

Back in her dorm, Hermione pulled a suitcase from under her bed, which contained Zicomo's various alchemical creations.

Most of them were his impromptu creations.

After making it, he realized it was useless to him, so he gave it to Hermione as a toy.

Of course, there are also some excellent ones.

For example, the dragonhide armor Hermione is wearing right now.

It was made by Zicomo using dragon skin from the border region.

When attacked by magic, it can reduce the magic's power by 50%.

This is the dragon skin's own resistance to magic.

He made the armor into a lining style, and also embedded a Life Stone in the heart area.

Whenever the wearer is injured in battle, the Primal Stone will replenish the user's life force through a special circuit.

To achieve the therapeutic effect.

Furthermore, when encountering a Death Curse, the Life Stone will consume all of its life force to offset the damage caused by one Death Curse.

There's also Hermione's bracelet; Zicomo made her a new protective bracelet.

The bracelet features a modified version of 'armor protection' by Zicomo.

While forming a round shield that provides complete protection, the round shield also has a certain effect of reflecting evil curses.

Moreover, Zicomo uses the technology of the Philosopher's Stone for power supply.

What are the characteristics of the energy within the Philosopher's Stone?

The most prominent feature is its large volume.

The fact that it would take Nico VIII 00 years to deplete the Philosopher's Stone demonstrates its energy storage capacity.

At this time, Hermione's necklace was the 'Blue Amber Pendant +2' amulet that Zicomo gave her for Christmas.

He had a bag full of second-generation magic grenades in his pocket.

The other bag contained the magic potions that Zikomo usually brewed.

With Hermione's current level of magic, one bottle can restore most of her magic power.

These are not the works that Zicomo is most satisfied with.

What pleased Zicomo most was a consumable item he named 'Light Feather Bead'.

It's about the size of a transparent glass bead, and you can clearly see a feather inside.

The effect is to reduce one's own weight and increase movement speed by 200% for five minutes.

Note that there are two effects here.

Reducing one's own weight and increasing one's own speed result in a boost that is not simply one plus one.

This was prepared by Zicomo for the flying species in the border region.

Increase your speed and take them down before they can fly.

At the very least, we should disable their wings first.

Zicomo has been rampant and domineering in half of the border region, but he has a fatal flaw.

He can't fly.

So he created the 'Light Feather Bead'.

Later, Zicomo remembered the flying broomsticks of the wizarding world.

His need for the 'Feather Beads' diminished, so he gave some of them to Hermione.

Hermione is now fully armed.

Some adult wizards arrived, but even they were defeated by Hermione due to their carelessness.

Chapter Forty-Four: The Birth of the Magic Crystal

Hermione had everything ready, except for one crucial element.

All geared up and ready, just waiting tonight to go with Harry and the others to unlock the Philosopher's Stone dungeon.

Hermione was quite looking forward to this adventure.

Ever since the troll incident, Hermione felt as if she had flipped some strange switch.

Occasionally, I also yearn to experience a fantastical adventure of fighting monsters.

Clearly, he's not exactly a peaceful person at heart.

The little witch was even considering whether she should try to get her hands on the Philosopher's Stone and give it to her cousin.

After all, that's a magic stone that can be used to make the elixir of immortality.

The little witch has her own ideas too.

…………

Meanwhile, Zicomo was still busy in his alchemy room.

He has a lot to prepare.

The moment a creature dies at the border, it returns to the Golden Tree.

He didn't know whether this was forced by the golden tree or voluntary by the creatures.

But he doesn't care either.

His original plan was to kill a demigod and then instantly take the demigod into the system space.

This would prevent the demigod from dying and returning to the Golden Tree.

But he wasn't sure if it was his speed that was faster, or the speed of the golden tree.

These are not the dragons he had previously collected.

The two have different weights in the consciousness of the Golden Tree, that is, in the eyes of the Elden Beast within the Golden Tree.

So, just in case, he decided to develop a product that could solve all problems in one go.

He called it an enhanced version of the Philosopher's Stone.

First, he needed a stone that could contain the life force and soul of a god.

Secondly, this stone has the function of shielding the outside world from probing its interior.

This is in preparation for the next feature.

This is also the most important function.

That is, the ability to absorb life force and soul from the outside world.

At least the part that comes into contact with the stone surface should be able to absorb it.

At that time, Zicomo directly implanted the stone into the bodies of those gods and demigods, and the stone naturally absorbed their life and soul.

Once the absorption was complete, the stone's surface severed its connection with the golden tree.

In this way, the golden tree will not notice anything.

Zikomo didn't want the final boss to suddenly appear in front of him after he had just defeated one boss.

The people in these border areas are not the kind of NPCs in the original game who simply follow the rules.

"Sigh, I never thought that after all the hard work of separating the life and soul powers from the Philosopher's Stone, I would have to fuse them back together now~"

Zicomo said he was very tired of this.

Compared to when Nicole Kidman was young, how much better was he?

The two types of raw stones he separated cannot be said to be useless.

in contrast.

The Life Stone can be used to create potions that restore life force, while the Soul Stone itself is a great tonic for a remnant soul like Voldemort.

Unfortunately, his skills weren't good enough.

They borrowed the techniques used to make magic stones to create these two types of raw stones.

This will make these two types of raw stones less than perfect when they are formed.

Transform a creature into these two types of stone.

The raw stone will retain the imprint of the organism itself.
