Hogwarts: Starting as a Serpent Demon

Another blue treasure chest.

Witt casually tapped the box; it contained magic stone powder.

finally......

Witt covered his face with both hands and pulled down, his excited voice mixed with pain.

It's finally out.

Witt took out the magic stone powder and said to the Serpent Demon, "Let's go to the new home and I'll upgrade your bloodline."

Upon seeing the magic stone powder, the Serpent Demon was also extremely excited.

He had sensed the blood alliance barrier a long time ago, but he just couldn't break through it. Without external help, it would take him at least three years to break through this barrier.

A bottle of magic stone powder certainly wouldn't have such a great effect.

This brings us to another function of the Golden Achievement: helping cards break through bottlenecks.

A gold achievement can help a character break through their limits, and to cultivate them to the top level, it generally requires two breakthroughs.

Because gold achievements are relatively difficult to complete, Witt originally designed it so that combining seven purple achievements could also help a character achieve a breakthrough.

The blue achievements are purely for farming treasure chests and have no other function.

Additionally, helping a character break through will consume the power of a gold achievement, but it will not affect the records in the achievement list. The consumed gold achievement will not disappear from the records.

This does not conflict with the ability to activate the field slot function after completing three gold achievements.

Witt never cared about this feature.

In the game, once cards like James and Venda are leveled up to the maximum, they can be combined into various gameplay strategies.

It's not necessarily true that they can't defeat the Snake Demon.

If players get tired of cards like Serpent Demon or Dumbledore, they can also build their own favorite lineup and try some unconventional strategies to challenge themselves.

To try out new strategies, you have to grind for achievements.

It can be considered one of the driving forces behind games.

In reality, Witt doesn't even bother to level up his other cards; he's reluctant to even use magic stone powder, let alone use golden achievements to help them break through.

All resources were allocated to powerful legendary wizard cards like the Serpent Demon, while everyone else was left to fend for themselves.

He just loves to have a great time, the more enjoyable the better.

The idea of ​​challenging oneself simply doesn't exist.

Moreover, natural growth is not impossible to achieve breakthroughs, it just takes longer.

Hagrid naturally broke through to the second tier.

With resources focused solely on key characters, breakthroughs were more than enough, so Witt hadn't paid any attention to it before.

As the magic stone powder was swallowed, Ninety-Nine's experience points were instantly replenished, and then Witt broke through to the next level.

The Serpent Demon's body began to thicken, its cute face turned ferocious, and scarlet crest hair grew on its head. Next to the two venomous fangs in its mouth, a row of sharp white teeth grew out.

A cloying, fishy smell emanated from the Serpent Demon.

Except for his eyes, the Serpent Demon was indistinguishable from a basilisk.

At the same time, the magic power within Victor's body roared like a flood bursting its banks, increasing more than threefold in just an hour and a half.

When the snake demon opened its eyes, it said, "Master, why have you shrunk?"

Witt (!_!)ノ: "Look at what you're saying, and stop the hell from climbing any higher, my pants are going to fall down."

He used to be able to hold the Serpent Demon in his hands like a toy, but now, Witt probably can't even carry it on his back.

The original Snake Demon was less than a meter tall, but now, according to Witt's rough estimate, it's at least four meters tall.

Even if it were wrapped around his waist, let alone his arms, he couldn't hold it up.

The Serpent Demon also realized something was wrong. He closed his eyes and whispered, "Master, wait a moment, let me restrain my magic."

As the Serpent Demon's magic power gradually contracted, his body slowly returned to its original state.

Victor curiously went over and poked him: "You have this function? How come I didn't know?"

“It’s magic,” the Serpent Demon whispered. “I used magic to restore myself to my original form; it’s not an innate ability.”

"Oh."

Vitti nodded, not delving into the matter further, and instead began to study the abilities that the Serpent Demon had gained after his breakthrough.

First, there's magic defense. As a level 5X magical creature, the basilisk has extremely strong magic defense, comparable even to that of the yak Hagrid.

Jaime's Stun Curse hit Witt, but was immediately deflected.

The serpent demon's stun spell was effective, but its power was greatly reduced. Witt only felt a little dizzy, far from enough to make him unconscious.

And then there's magic.

The sudden increase in magic power greatly enhanced Vittor's magical power, but it also slightly reduced his control over his magic, requiring some time to gradually adapt.

Finally, there's the basilisk's strongest ability: an instant-death spell cast with its eyes.

Although the second-stage Serpent Demon still possesses the ability to petrify, the intensity of this magic has been increased by an unknown amount.

If eyes meet, Witt's petrification spell, emitted from his eyes, can reflect the instant-death spell of the basilisk, and can even freeze ghosts.

Even Dumbledore, in his second year, couldn't undo the spell; he had to wait for Sprout's mandrake to mature.

I'm so strong.

Witt gripped his wand tightly, the powerful magic making it more obedient to him. He felt he could definitely go up against Voldemort, a remnant soul residing in the back of someone's head, not in its complete form. Witt might not necessarily lose.

Safe now, in this dangerous magical world, Victor finally felt a sense of security.

There's no need to worry about a dark wizard suddenly appearing, nor about some double-hamburger-faced guy attacking him.

Even with Dumbledore around before, Witt was still hesitant and timid in his actions, but now, he felt great.

Indeed, one can only feel at ease when power is in one's own hands.

After finishing everything, Witt glanced at the clock and realized it was 2:30 in the morning. He should go home; he had classes tomorrow.

As for the idea of ​​clashing with Voldemort, Witt wasn't sick; he was just talking.

They choose to fight when they're at a disadvantage and not when they have the upper hand.

Harry has protective magic; what does he have?

Why not wait a few years until you've developed and are in a favorable situation? Why insist on fighting a camper when you're at a low level? Why create difficulties for yourself when there are none?

The next day, breakfast time.

As soon as Witt entered the Great Hall, Snape and McGonagall turned around. They sensed a threat, a threat that came purely from the depths of their hearts.

“Witt”.

McGonagall looked at Witt with some skepticism, wondering if the student in front of her had been switched.

Good morning, Professor McGonagall.

Witt greeted her very politely, but in McGonagall's eyes, he was a giant python, opening its mouth and hissing menacingly at her.

“Professor McGonagall.” Witt waved his hand in front of McGonagall. When McGonagall came to her senses, Witt quickly explained, “Last night there was a sudden surge in magic, and when I woke up this morning, the magic in my body had inexplicably increased by a lot.”

"It's gotten a little out of control. Are you alright?"

At this point, Witt was somewhat helpless, as the surge of magic power had overflowed from his body.

The etherealization outside the body produced some unusual phenomena.

Not to mention McGonagall, even the Serpent Demon saw him as a serpent monster.

Vitt had no good solution to this, so he could only try to improve his control over his magic and hopefully grow faster.

Although the magic power from equipping the Serpent Demon Card is harmless, his body simply cannot handle that much magic power; any excess magic power will overflow.

It's almost like they're threatening you at any moment.

It can't be hidden, it simply can't be hidden.

McGonagall, having seen her share of grand occasions, carefully observed Witt and confirmed that what he was experiencing was indeed a magical outburst, and an extremely powerful one at that.

She said with concern, "Why don't you take a few days off and wait for the magic disturbance to subside before resuming classes?"

"With your grades, you don't need to worry about the final exams at all."

"No need," Witt said, shaking his head. "Learning makes me happy."

Hermione, the exam queen, studies every day. Witt feels that if he makes even the slightest mistake and doesn't get a perfect score, his first place will be surpassed by Hermione.

Ultimately, the first-year exams were a limitation for Witt; it was like competing with Hermione while wearing shackles.

In this situation, the competition is about who makes fewer mistakes, not which side can do better.

Vittor would never give up a purple achievement point.

Meanwhile, Quirrell was secretly talking to Voldemort behind his head.

"Master, is he really not your child?"

During the first month of school, Quirrell and Voldemort had already noticed Witt; the Slytherin student with snake eyes was simply too eye-catching.

However, Voldemort did not take Witt seriously at the time.

His purpose in coming to Hogwarts was to find the Philosopher's Stone to resurrect himself, which was an extremely dangerous act. Voldemort had no energy to consider anything else.

Besides, he's just a first-year wizard; even if he's talented, so what?

Could he possibly be more talented than me?

Once I am resurrected, everything will no longer be a problem.

Voldemort was extremely arrogant; apart from Dumbledore, no one in the wizarding world was anyone he respected.

Even Harry Potter is the same.

Others may not know what happened back then, but as someone directly involved, how could Voldemort not know?

Harry is just a pushover; his Killing Curse was deflected by Lily's magic. This savior, touted by the wizarding world, doesn't actually possess any powerful magical abilities.

In 1991, Voldemort never gave Harry a second glance.
