Hogwarts: From Luna's House to Godhood Through Intense Competition

Vizette pursed her lips and continued to focus on brewing the potion.

To his surprise, Voldemort actually kept his word and talked about some things that Vizet was interested in.

“Vizet, my student… do you remember what I told you before? To cast magic freely? That’s not easy to do…”

"Especially since you've been misled by your current professors, which has rigidified your thinking and made it difficult to change your spellcasting methods, it will become very difficult to achieve 'freedom'!"

"The so-called 'freedom' is not just about 'relaxation' in words; it requires the application of your magical knowledge, your understanding of things, and all sorts of things..."

Vizette gritted his teeth; this time he was indeed affected, and even his movements faltered.

Although he loathed Voldemort, he was also filled with longing for the knowledge Voldemort shared.

Voldemort's infamous reputation is so great that, at least in the English magical world, most wizards would not call him by his name directly, for fear that doing so would threaten their lives.

When they had to mention Voldemort, they only dared to refer to him as "the mysterious man" or "the one whose name they couldn't even mention."

To instill such unspeakable fear in so many people, Voldemort's magical abilities were undeniable.

That is precisely why the various magical viewpoints he utters can be described as resounding and eloquent...

Chapter 106 What is meant by "freedom"?

Vizet desperately wanted to take out his notebook, write down everything Voldemort had said, and then take it back to the castle to study it slowly.

Even if much of it is misleading, he can consult with professors at the school and avoid the hidden pitfalls.

“Vizette…my student!” Voldemort’s tone was smug. “What a pure Ravenclaw. Is he just having trouble writing down what I have to say?”

"Have you considered leaving Hogwarts with me? I can tell you more about magic! You're an Obscurial, such a unique talent, don't let it go to waste!"

"Leave Hogwarts?" Vizet let out a long breath, her eyes incredibly clear. "I still prefer staying here!"

He scooped the potion from the cauldron into a potion bottle. "The Soul Soothing Potion is ready!"

"What a pity!" Voldemort sighed and waved his hand to dispel the magical energy field.

"Actually, I've really had some doubts... Your talent and abilities are worth nurturing. What a pity! What a real pity!"

Before Voldemort could finish speaking, a rustling sound came from afar, and the tall trees trembled eerily.

"I didn't underestimate your talent; the timing for brewing the potion was just right!" Voldemort put away the potion bottle, then sighed again, "What a pity!"

The trees trembled more and more violently, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, and a dark shadow appeared among the trees.

The dark figure landed with a thud, scattering withered leaves, branches, and broken bones across the ground, raising a cloud of dust and debris.

With a sharp whistling sound, the dark figure suddenly burst through the dust, its eight eyes blinking simultaneously, revealing a burning malice as hot as a branding iron.

With the help of the night vision spell, Vizette was finally able to see what the shadowy figure was...

It was a giant eight-eyed spider nearly a meter tall, its chelicerae constantly opening and closing, making a "click-click" sound. Its thick, dark bristles shone brightly, making it look quite terrifying.

Vizette used the Guardian Meditation Technique to maximize her perception while rapidly retreating and thrusting her wand forward, shouting, "Transformation!"

The flying dust particles coalesced into vines, which then formed a net in the air, trapping the menacing eight-eyed giant spider.

As Vizet dealt with the eight-eyed spider, Voldemort said with a smile, "Only a small one came. It seems they don't know what's good for them and didn't realize you were delicious..."

He tried to lift Quirrell's wand by manipulating Quirrell's body, but his arm went limp the next moment.

"Tsk... Since you can't contribute to the upcoming performance... Vizette, this is a little test I'm leaving for you as your professor."

"If you can pass this little test, I'll tell you what the real final exam questions are next week... Stay tuned!"

After saying this, Voldemort strolled away into the distance, leaving Vizzett to deal with the eight-eyed spider alone.

Vizzet wasn't sure if Voldemort was observing from the shadows or had actually left, so he had no reason to act rashly.

He still doesn't know how others view ancient magical powers.

To be on the safe side and prevent what is "excellent" from becoming "outrageous," it is best to keep ancient magic out of the public eye.

Therefore, he tried to avoid using ancient magic and instead used his wand to cast shapeshifting spells to restrict the movements of the eight-eyed giant spider.

Wizette learned from the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" that adult giant spiders are as tall as a horse-drawn carriage, reaching two or three meters in height.

The giant eight-eyed spider in front of us is less than a meter tall and cannot be considered an adult.

Although this eight-eyed giant spider is not yet fully grown, it is still worthy of the XXXXX rating.

It opened and closed its chelicerae repeatedly, injecting venom while tearing at the vines. In the blink of an eye, it destroyed the vines and landed in front of Vizette.

Using fire magic in such an environment full of withered grass would be unwise, as it would inevitably cause a fire and attract unnecessary attention.

Vizette attacked with a cutting spell and used a knockback spell to create distance from the eight-eyed giant spider.

While dodging the webs spewed out by the eight-eyed giant spider, he pondered his next move.

The eight-eyed giant spider has strong magic resistance. Cutting spells that can easily cut materials can only leave shallow marks on its carapace.

This shows that it is quite difficult to deal with the eight-eyed giant spider simply by using magic.

After eliminating that option... there's no doubt that using black magic is the best solution at present.

Even if ordinary dark magic has no effect, he can enhance its power through Obscurity.

Even though the eight-eyed giant spider has excellent magic resistance, it is not difficult to deal with it as long as the power of dark magic is strong enough.

The problem is that the feeling of having evil thoughts sweep over your mind is really unpleasant.

The last time I used the full power of the Curse of Sickness was in the castle, with Fred and George by my side, so nothing serious happened.

This time is different from the past.

The extent of the dangers lurking within this vast forbidden forest remains unknown.

If dealing with a juvenile eight-eyed giant spider causes evil thoughts to invade one's will, then one must have fallen into Voldemort's trap.

and many more!

Voldemort!

A sudden thought struck Vizette as she recalled what the undulating demon had once said—

To cast magic "freely" requires coordination from multiple aspects, and ideally, one should have a thorough understanding of the principles of magic itself in order to adjust the power of magic "freely".

He didn't take notes; instead, he focused on piecing together fragments of memory and, based on his understanding of magic, summarized the following points.

Vizette intends to combine concepts from her past life to understand the meaning of these words.

“Adjusting the power of magic…is this what they call ‘the dragon soaring too high will regret it’? There’s a way to change things!” he murmured, continuing to use shapeshifting magic to restrain the eight-eyed giant spider.

"If I were to unleash the full power of the Sickly Curse, I could easily defeat the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider, but I would be corrupted by its malevolent energy... This is something I don't want to see!"

"What if I bind the eight-eyed giant spider first, and then adjust the power of the Sickness Curse? I should be able to do it! First, I need to find the eight-eyed giant spider's weakness!"

Thanks to Quirrell's instruction, Vizet had a deep understanding of the Curse of Sickness, which allowed her to try Voldemort's theories and cast spells "freely".

He continued to conjure vines to restrain the eight-eyed giant spider, while observing its weaknesses.

For most animals, eyes are a weakness, let alone an animal with eight eyes.

Even if you can't hit its eyes, hitting the head of the eight-eyed giant spider is still a good option.

Based on the movements of the eight-eyed giant spider, Vizet mentally rehearsed what would happen next.

The eight-eyed giant spider broke through the vines' blockade once again, its eight legs propelling it forward a great distance, arriving in front of Vizette in the blink of an eye...

Chapter 107 The Centaur Ferenczec

"A clever change!" Vizet's eyes lit up, and several vines burst forth from the withered leaves, trapping the eight-eyed giant spider once again.

The eight-eyed giant spider seemed to have seen through Vizette's trick long ago. Its eight eyes showed the same disdain and mockery as it slowly tore the vines into pieces.

"The torment of death!" Vizette murmured, his core trembling slightly, but showing no sign of going berserk.

The next moment, the eight-eyed giant spider sensed a strong sense of crisis, causing it to hastily increase the speed at which it was tearing at the vines.

Vizette flicked her wand, and a thin, dark gray beam of light shot from the tip, heading towards the eye of the eight-eyed giant spider.

He smiled; this time, the feeling of casting the spell was right—a feeling of complete ease and control over the curse.

While the core of the silent man did indeed exude a hint of malice, it did not affect his actions.

He could reduce the power of the Sickness Curse while increasing its release speed; everything was under his control.

The giant spider's chelicerae clicked incessantly as it desperately twisted its head, trying to avoid the deadly beam of light.

But it was too late. The dark gray light shot out at an extremely fast speed and disappeared into the outermost eye in the blink of an eye.

The eight-eyed spider's head shook violently, its chelicerae opening and closing with intermittent sounds.

Its body, however, drooped and remained motionless.

Vizette waved her wand, and the vines transformed into a giant cocoon, completely enveloping the eight-eyed spider, leaving only its head exposed.

The eight-eyed spider showed no reaction, continuing to shake its head and occasionally spit out spider silk mixed with green liquid.

"It should still be alive, even if it's not a fully grown eight-eyed giant spider, its venom should fetch a good price!"

Vizette was not one to hesitate; once she decided to do it, she acted immediately.

He continuously cast cutting spells on the chelicerae, slicing open the giant spider's head and revealing a cluster of venom glands behind the chelicerae.
