Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

But almost a moment later, Voldemort seemed to realize something.

"Your body... no, your soul..."

He looked at Ryan's unique appearance at the moment and whispered in disbelief.

"Your soul left your body on its own and was shaped into a physical form by your magic? This is impossible!?"

He had realized why Ryan was still alive.

Avada Kedavra, also known as the 'death curse'.

It is the first of the three unforgivable curses and also the most terrifying one among them.

Its effect is very simple - it carries malicious intent, kills enemies, is undefensible, and will kill anyone who is cursed.

This effect may fail unless the malice is not strong enough or the magic power gap between each other is too large.

For example, a first-year wizard cannot kill a sufficiently powerful elite wizard even if he recites the Killing Curse.

But apart from this extreme situation, in any other case...the killing curse seems to have no solution.

And as the person who is best at the killing curse.

Voldemort knew the nature of the Killing Curse very clearly - its essence was to 'kill the soul'.

Like the other two unforgivable curses, it is a magic that acts directly on the soul!

But Ryan's current posture is extremely special.

His soul left his body and was shaped into a completely new form by the enormous magic power in him.

Magic power surrounded him, forming his current body, bones, and veins... They allowed Ryan to exist here!

In Voldemort's opinion, this is almost impossible!

Unless they turned into ghosts after death, the wizards' souls would uncontrollably cross the boundary between life and death and head to the 'other side of the curtain' the moment they left their bodies!

Unless one is like him, who creates a Horcrux and stores part of his soul in a container, thus turning his soul into a wandering soul, he can be tied to this side of the curtain.

But there is no doubt about it.

Ryan's current posture is definitely not that of a wandering soul.

His soul state is more complete and more...powerful!

"impossible?"

But after hearing Voldemort's words, Ryan spoke softly.

"Tom, maybe your perception is too narrow."

"It's strange—you're very advanced in the realm of 'death,' but you're clearly only a beginner in the realm of 'soul.'"

he said softly.

"The wizard's soul gives birth to magic, and the glow of magic will in turn affect the soul - you obviously don't know this, right?"

"What a ridiculous statement!"

As if realizing that something was wrong, Voldemort's voice became increasingly hoarse.

"Are you teaching me to explore magic? Do you think you are qualified? You..."

He seemed about to say something else, but Ryan interrupted him.

"Of course I'm qualified, Tom."

He looked at his hands, feeling the magic that was now lingering within his soul.

"I may still be a little behind in my exploration of the magical field. I'm still one step away from finding my own magical essence."

He said it casually, not denying it.

Even in the era thousands of years ago, he only studied magic for seven years.

This was obviously not enough for him to find the essence of his own magical path.

So in fact, as he said... as far as he is concerned, he is still one step away from the title of 'Legendary Wizard'.

but...

"I had four great teachers, Tom."

"They never spared me their teachings—including their exploration of the nature of magic!"

Ryan said this and raised his hand.

His soul shone brightly under the starlight.

"I am their only heir... I think you still don't fully understand this identity!"

Heir - not just knowledge, character, magic.

The most important thing he got from the Big Four.

It is their magical path itself!

Just like the spell he was casting at this moment - it came from Ravenclaw.

Its name is...

"Astrum Animatus!"

He would never forget what Ravenclaw had said when he had given him this spell.

"If the world is night, then our souls are the stars, Ryan."

Ravenclaws love to observe the stars.

"It gave birth to wisdom and magic in us, and it gave birth to hope in the world... There is nothing more brilliant and dazzling than the soul."

Soul magic—this is Ravenclaw's magical path!

And 'Star Soul Incarnation' is Ravenclaw's symbolic magic in this field!

Use powerful magic to shape your own soul and allow it to exist independently in the world!

Just like Ravenclaw itself - her existence is the brightest star in the starry sky of the wizarding world!

And this is the reason why Ryan was able to avoid the killing curse.

The moment the Killing Curse hit him, his soul had already left his body - the Killing Curse did not kill his soul, but only hit a soulless body!

"Anima Captura!"

So at this moment, Ryan stretched out his hand towards Voldemort.

"Buzz!"

From his soul, huge magical power surged towards Voldemort!

Under the influence of the soul, the powerful magic turned into a huge palm and pressed towards Voldemort!

Seeing this, Voldemort immediately waved his wand.

Layers of pitch-black mist surrounded him—it was obviously some kind of black magic for self-preservation!

but...

The next moment, he was shocked to find that the magic power exerted by Ryan actually penetrated the dark fog directly!

The invisible hand penetrated his body and began to pull his soul directly!

"Ahhh!"

Then, Voldemort let out an unprecedented scream.

He felt his soul being torn apart and pulled out of this body!

But Ryan was not surprised when he saw this scene.

As I just said - Ravenclaw's magical path is 'soul magic'!

And after using the spell of 'Star Soul Incarnation', all his magic will be directly applied to Voldemort's soul!

Even at this moment, Ryan could clearly perceive Voldemort's soul.

"One, two, three... six gaps... He really is a madman!"

He could clearly sense that there were six huge gaps in Voldemort's soul.

This means that he split his soul six times and created six Horcruxes!

This number obviously exceeded Ryan's cognition!

In fact, Voldemort's soul itself seemed to have become as riddled with holes as a rag because of these six gaps!

But what made Ryan feel even more incredible was...

"Ahhhh!"

He clearly saw that even in the extreme pain of his soul being torn apart, Voldemort was still able to control Quirrell's body and raise his wand.

The tip of his wand pointed at Ryan's body lying on the ground!

This made Ryan, who was in soul state at the moment, couldn't help but frown.

He even doubted whether Voldemort was human at all - even with his soul torn apart, he could still make accurate judgments.

"I don't believe your soul can survive alone for long, just destroy your body...you lowly Mudblood!"

Voldemort gritted his teeth.

His face was grim as he struggled to recite the spell.

"Thunderbolt burst!"

But it was at this time...

Ryan sighed.

He stretched out his hand, and something flew out from his body and landed on his other hand.

"Fortunately... I was moving this way during the previous battle..."

He muttered to himself, then put what he had in his hand to his mouth without hesitation!

It was a short whistle.
