Hogwarts: My Spell Infinite Derivation

Chapter 57: Power Surges, Hand of Glory, Sun Without Light!

After taking a deep breath, Charles slowly calmed the burning desire in his heart to enter R'lyeh again.

After all, although R'lyeh seemed to him like an all-you-can-eat buffet, the sheer number of deduction points provided by the water and rocks in R'lyeh showed just how ancient and powerful the magic of this place was.

Dark has only just ascended, but if Sharl didn't have the ancient dragon form of the magical Animagus, it would probably be a lot of trouble to deal with him.

Trying to induce madness through brain manipulation to gain access to R'lyeh is something that should be approached with caution.

Moreover, the commotion that Charles has caused this time is quite significant. If he were to force his way into R'lyeh again in a short period of time, it could lead to something terrible being unearthed, which would likely be disastrous.

Therefore, Charles suppressed his desires and instead focused his attention on the gains from being drawn into R'lyeh.

This time, the Shire reaped a huge reward in R'lyeh.

The Ancient Dragon form gained two new Dragon Language spells, Destruction Torrent and Storm Call, whose range and power surpassed those of Eternal Sun cast in human form.

And after that final storm summoned the dragon's roar, amidst the howling winds, Shar's dragon body was further tempered.

Its magic resistance, strength, speed, and size have all been comprehensively improved.

If Shire were to transform into its ancient dragon form now, it wouldn't look like a juvenile dragon at all; it would look like it has already entered adolescence.

Its ancient majesty far surpasses that of the fire dragon; the two are simply not on the same level!

With just this dragon body, over 99% of wizards and magical creatures in the magical world would feel despair in the face of Shire.

Moreover, at this moment, as Charles quietly felt his body, his eyes revealed a look of surprise and shock.

He tried to clench his fist.

A powerful force arose spontaneously from within his flesh and blood.

He casually threw a punch, and a crisp sound like a whip cracking through the air echoed in the room!

Although Shire participated in various sports competitions in the Muggle world and was much stronger than children of the same age, he was definitely not this strong.

This is absolutely abnormal!

A look of understanding appeared on Charles's face.

"The wizard's human form and Animagus form are not completely separate, but rather influence each other."

"Peter Pettigrew is a prime example."

"He was timid by nature, therefore his Animagus transformation was a rat."

"After that, he lived in hiding for more than a decade, turning into a rat to evade capture. When he finally regained his human form, he still retained many of the behavioral characteristics of a rat."

"..."

"In ordinary Animagus, this effect is not noticeable, and it only becomes apparent after a long period of change."

"But the effect is much greater on the Animagus magic I have mastered. The powerful magic of the Ancient Dragon form has undoubtedly contributed to my human form as well."

"My physical strength was thus greatly enhanced, reaching a level that was almost inhuman."

Ciel sensed the magic power within his body again, and his joy deepened.

Compared to before, his magical power has also undergone a near-qualitative increase, almost as if he has experienced a permanent magical transformation, far surpassing most adult wizards.

This also boosted the combat power of the Charr form.

For example, the power of the Transfiguration spell is much stronger than before.

Previously, Ciel's skill in Transfiguration was already sufficient, but due to limitations in magical power, he was unable to use some transformations.

Now, none of these are problems.

Perhaps the most significant change is reflected in the Eternal Blazing Sun Mantra.

When the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell was first deduced, a single cast of the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell could put an enormous burden on Sharl, to the point that he would collapse from exhaustion.

Not long ago, Charles used the Eternal Blazing Sun Curse to erase the traces. Although he didn't collapse from exhaustion, he was still very tired.

Now, thanks to the feedback from the Ancient Dragon form, Ciel can't say he can use the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell as something to knock him unconscious, but he can at least cast seven or eight spells without much difficulty.

The strength of this human form has increased by far more than just a tiny bit compared to before!

A look of relief appeared in Charles's eyes.

"Transfiguration is indeed a field that powerful wizards like Dumbledore and Voldemort would delve into deeply."

"The investment in Animagus transfiguration has truly paid off handsomely."

"This is only the first Animagus transformation. Once I have enough blood from the other two powerful magical creatures, the feedback from the three transformations may be even stronger."

"Then, after four, five, or even more transformations, the magical Animagus might be able to conjure up creatures from mythology!"

Then, Xia Er's gaze fell on the thirty-five million deduction points.

After hesitating for a moment, he decided to use some of his points to further enhance his wizard form.

His previous efforts in the wizard form were mostly focused on control and escape.

Because magic was a major weakness at that time, even if many powerful combat spells were deduced, the burden was too great and they could not be used, so they did not significantly improve strength.

But now that magic is no longer a constraint, we can focus on improving it.

The Ancient Dragon form is a trump card; Ciel will only use it as a last resort.

After all, the appearance of an ancient dragon in this era is truly astonishing, and countless reclusive wizards might be drawn out.

Not to mention that Sharl's ancient dragon form is achieved through Animagus transformation, which is truly sensationalist.

Countless people would covet this power.

Wizards have so many ways to prolong their lives, who knows if there are any among those who covet it who can rival Dumbledore or Voldemort?

How can anyone say that such a bizarre place as R'lyeh exists?

Therefore, before he grows to the point where he can still protect himself against two or three Dumbledores, Ciel does not intend to reveal his Ancient Dragon form. It is still necessary to improve his Wizard form.

After a moment's thought, Charles made his decision.

His gaze fell upon the glowing spell that had been with him the longest and the spells it derived.

Having already progressed to the point of the Eternal Blazing Sun Curse, this series of curses naturally cannot be abandoned.

In terms of power, the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell is already extremely powerful, only slightly weaker than the roar of an ancient dragon, and it's more than enough to deal with 99% of opponents.

However, even with the control of the Dustless Land Curse, the Eternal Blazing Sun Curse is too conspicuous and its activation speed is a bit slow, which is still a major flaw.

Charles had also considered making the Eternal Blazing Sun Curse as quiet as possible, ideally so that the enemy wouldn't be able to detect it.

However, the projection points given by Deep Blue in this direction amount to millions, which is not a negligible number even for Xiaer now.

Deep Blue's reasoning was that the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell radiates light and heat like the sun.

How can we make the sun less dazzling?

This is too difficult, so naturally more deduction points need to be added.

However, before that, Shire obtained a dark magic item from the Borgin-Bock shop in Knockturn Alley, which happens to have this property. Using it as material might greatly reduce the points needed to deduce in this direction.

Then, Charles rummaged around and took out a withered hand.

This hand is known as the Hand of Glory.

Its unique feature is that the light source on it can only be seen by the person holding it, and it can illuminate most of the magical mist.

It should be noted that those magical mists contain concealing magic, yet they can still be pierced by the Hand of Glory.

This indicates that the light source illuminated by the Hand of Glory also possesses a certain degree of demon-dispelling effect.

Whether it's light that's only visible to oneself or the ability to dispel magic, these are characteristics that Ciel needs.

If the light of the Eternal Sun is only visible to Charles and no one else can see it, then even if the enemy is struck by the Eternal Sun, they probably won't be able to react in time!

In addition to the Eternal Sun, the Laser Spell also inherits this characteristic.

The laser that cuts through everything can only be seen by Ciel; this is the true meaning of "Divine Sharpness Without a Trace"!

In addition, its demon-repelling properties will greatly increase its destructive power!

So even in wizard form, Ciel could easily break through the defenses and kill magical creatures with strong magic resistance!

A moment later, Ciel waved his wand.

A tiny, firefly-like ray of light fell toward the Hand of Glory and landed on its fingers.

Strangely, the light vanished without a trace the moment it touched Glorious's hand.

This light can only be seen when Charles grasps the hand of glory.

Just as he was experiencing this phenomenon firsthand, Deep Blue's notification sounded in Xia Er's mind.

"The host has obtained high-level materials that can be used for the deduction of the Glowing Spell, and the subsequent deduction points for the Glowing Spell will decrease."

"Following the direction previously proposed by the host, perform four deductions of the Glowing Spell, adding the 'Only I Can See' property and the 'Demon-Breaking' property. This will require one million points."

"Should we perform a simulation?"

Upon hearing the prompt, Charles's eyes lit up.

One million simulation points is a significant reduction compared to the several million points required when the question was asked previously.

In Xia Er's opinion, it was still a worthwhile trade to gain a significant boost to the stealth and lethality of the Eternal Blazing Sun Curse.

Therefore, Charles decisively chose to agree.

"Deduction!"

A moment later, Deep Blue had finished analyzing the magical knowledge contained within the Hand of Glory.

And they began to try to integrate it into the Eternal Blazing Sun Mantra through repeated deductions.

How can I make the sun invisible and invisible, visible only to me?

Such a proposition would be considered a madman's idea even by countless whimsical wizards.

But the miracle was achieved.

In Charles's mind, the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell, as dazzling as the sun, gradually dimmed while retaining its intense light and heat, until it disappeared without a trace.

A deep blue notification sound immediately followed.

"The fourth deduction of the Firefly Spell is complete."

"The host has obtained an improved version of the Glowing Charm - Light of Concealment."

"The host has acquired an improved version of the Laser Spell—Night's Edge."

"..."

"The host has acquired an improved version of the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell—the Sun Without Light!"
