Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 118 Ingenious Application of Magic (Third Update)

In fact, in terms of understanding magic and the amount of magical power, Sun Long far surpasses Jerry.

Although the combat power of the world's top magicians does not seem to be that strong.

However, Sun Long is at least in the third tier, just below Balthazar and Horvath in the second tier.

(The first tier consists of the already deceased Merlin and the sealed-off strongest dark wizard, Morgana.)

Furthermore, he had been imprisoned in the hands of Death for over two hundred years, and the amount of magic power accumulated within him was certainly incomparable to that of Jerry.

The reason Jerry hasn't been defeated immediately is mainly because he's not a conventional magician in this world, and the spell system he uses is different from that of this world.

Just like the armor charm on his wizard robe, it's a high-level defensive spell that even adult wizards in the Harry Potter world rarely master.

Aside from the Killing Curse, most spells, unless extremely powerful, are difficult to break through the Ironclad Curse's defenses. While Sun Long's fire magic is formidable, it won't be able to harm Jerry in a short time either.

However, this only works for a short time. As the stalemate continues, Jerry's magic will eventually run out, and he will naturally lose.

Moreover, Jerry knew that Sun Long's strongest magic wasn't fire magic, but a special kind of magic that could summon a giant dragon to assist in attacks.

With Jerry's current strength, he's no match for that dragon.

But since Jerry dared to stay behind to cover the retreat, he must have been somewhat confident; he wouldn't do something he wasn't sure of.

Actually, although Jerry's strength is not as good as Sun Long's, it would still be a very simple thing for him to kill Sun Long.

Why do I say that?

Because he knew Sun Long's trump card, while Sun Long knew nothing about his magic, this was his advantage, and a very big one at that.

Especially considering Jerry knows the Killing Curse.

The Killing Curse is a curse that guarantees death. Unless you dodge it or block it with an object, no magical shield can stop it.

In the world of Harry Potter, everyone knows the properties of the Killing Curse, so few wizards would be foolish enough to use a magical shield to defend against it. However, the wizards of this world are unaware of this.

At this moment, if Jerry were to unleash a fatal curse on Sun Long, and Sun Long continued to block with his powerful fire-style technique, there would likely be only one outcome.

He died a horrible death!

This is Jerry's biggest trump card, which allows him to stay behind alone to deal with Sun Long.

His original intention was to capture Sun Long alive, obtain his magic ring, and then use the Soul Reaper's Curse to gain all of Morgana's magical knowledge.

So unless he really can't beat the opponent, he won't use this spell.

Moreover, he was somewhat envious of the opponent's magic that could summon a giant dragon to aid in battle.

At this moment, Sun Long saw that his fire magic was useless against Jerry, and his anger flared up instantly.

He, the dignified number one magician in Hong Kong, was dragged here by a teenager today, which he found intolerable.

So he stopped trying to use fire magic to attack Jerry and break through Jerry's highly defensive magic robe. Instead, he controlled the fire shield while focusing his mind to unleash his strongest mimicry magic—the Dragon Transformation Spell!

Under his incantation, the dragon-shaped carving inlaid on the armor instantly came to life.

Meanwhile, below the rooftop, the fake dragon that had been waving around was transformed into a solid black dragon under the influence of the dragon carving on Sun Long's armor.

The dragon flicked its whiskers, spewed a huge ball of flame into the sky, and then leaped up to climb the building to the roof to help Sun Long in battle.

However, just as the dragon's head reached the rooftop, Sun Long, who was struggling to control the dragon, suddenly let out a muffled groan.

"Looks like I succeeded. If I hadn't, I really would have had to use the Killing Curse!"

Jerry's ears twitched, and his expression immediately relaxed.

Sure enough, as Sun Long let out a muffled groan, the giant dragon that had poked its head out also came to a complete stop.

Two more muffled groans followed, and the giant dragon, which had materialized, fell directly to the ground, returning to its original form.

Clearly, Sun Long's magic had been dispelled.

After putting away his wizard robes in his second form, Jerry looked over at Sun Long, who was now foaming at the mouth and unconscious on the ground.

With a wave of his wand, three black mamba snakes, their tongues painted, appeared beside Sun Long.

It turned out that just as Sun Long was concentrating on casting the Dragon Transformation Spell, Jerry took the opportunity to use the Snake Summoning Spell to conjure three Black Mamba Snakes, and even insidiously cast the Illusion Spell on the three Black Mamba Snakes.

Three invisible black mamba snakes bypassed Sun Long's flame shield and bit his calves several times, instantly poisoning him.

This is where the benefits of learning more spells become apparent. As long as you are quick-witted, you can combine many not-so-powerful spells to achieve surprising and effective results.

In the study of magic, some people choose to specialize, which means spending a lot of time learning a few spells that they consider most useful and maximizing their power.

Some people choose to cast a wide net, learning as many spells as possible and combining them to make their magical abilities more comprehensive.

In terms of sheer destructive power, specialization is definitely stronger. Like Harry, who relied on a single Disarming Charm to fight Voldemort to the bitter end. Hermione, despite being proficient in so many spells, didn't possess Harry's actual combat prowess.

However, Jerry preferred the second option, which was to learn as many spells as possible.

Because of his special circumstances, he is not in one world. He may appear in many worlds in the future. So even if he specializes in a few of the most powerful spells, he may still be countered.

Only by learning and mastering more spells can one cope with any situation with ease.

Moreover, he always believed that there was no such thing as useless magic. As long as magic is used well, even life magic can play a significant role.

For example, seemingly useless spells for hair growth and hair loss can actually be life-saving when used correctly.

For example, if an enemy grabs your hair during battle, cast a hair loss spell on yourself. Or, if an enemy tries to get close and fight you, cast a hair growth spell on them.

After all, everyone has body hair, and getting someone to remove or grow hair can be quite effective in certain situations.

Most importantly, Jerry felt that simply pursuing the destructive power of magic and fighting was not the mark of a qualified magician. The most important thing for a magician should be knowledge, specifically knowledge of magic.

Only by mastering more magical knowledge and spells can one grasp the true essence of magic at a deeper level.

Jerry took out the antidote and went forward to remove the snake venom from Sun Long. He then cast a sleeping spell on him and knocked him unconscious. Jerry then began to search for the magic ring on Sun Long's body that served as the medium for casting the spell.

"Huh, where is it?"

It turns out that Sun Long wore no rings on his ten fingers, except for ten gold nail guards popular in the Qing Dynasty.
