Hogwarts: What are the four great masters doing?

Page 112

But he already had a rough idea of the ability he had gained - that was the pinnacle of life magic, which brought with it an incomparably powerful vitality.

Just like the unicorn before.

He can indeed bring the dead back from the dead, but there is at least one prerequisite... that is, the other person's soul still exists in the body!

but...

"The Killing Curse kills the soul directly, Headmaster Dumbledore."

He said in a deep voice.

The soul that is killed will of course not exist in the body, but will go directly to the other side of the veil.

but...

"You can do this, Ryan."

Dumbledore said firmly.

So Ryan frowned.

He did not argue again, but came to Dumbledore.

He leaned down and touched Harry's body.

Using his own magic, he began to determine the truth about Harry's situation.

Several professors didn't even dare to breathe - they didn't know why Dumbledore thought Ryan could save Harry.

But they sincerely hope that a miracle will happen.

Especially Snape...his fists were clenched so tightly that his nails were almost digging into his flesh.

And soon, Ryan discovered something unusual.

"Harry's soul, he's still there!?"

Ryan looked up at Dumbledore, the surprise in his eyes almost beyond words.

He could feel it - Harry's soul was still in his body.

Even though the soul was extremely weak, but...

"Some power has grabbed him, protected his soul, and kept him on 'this side'!"

This discovery made Ryan curious.

And soon, he discovered the source of that power.

It was somewhere deep within Harry's soul, that...

"A spell."

Ryan felt the presence of the spell.

It was an ancient, magnificent spell, a spell that even Ryan had never seen before.

The magic of the spell protected Harry's soul, it was connected to his blood, like a mother hugging her child.

Ryan analyzed the incantation structure of this ancient spell.

So, he soon became even more surprised.

Because he found that the complexity and sophistication of the spell structure far exceeded his expectations.

Even he had never seen a spell similar to this one - its antiquity even exceeded all the knowledge Ryan knew a thousand years ago.

This forced Ryan to make a guess.

"Perhaps this spell comes from an even older time!"

"From what the teachers said... that once more glorious age of magic!"

That's right.

Ryan certainly knew that the Big Four were not the founders of magic.

Before the Big Four, there were even more ancient wizards.

He had heard his four teachers mention it more than once.

They all believed that there had been an ancient glorious age of wizardry before their time.

Many great and legendary wizards appeared in that era.

Even the few names that survive today are already well-known enough—for example, the most famous are the legendary wizards of ancient Greece, 'Andros the Invincible', 'Herbo the Vile', and 'Mopsus the Prophet'.

Their reputations may be good or bad.

But the magic they left behind and their achievements in magic were recognized even by the Big Four.

And the Big Four believe they are not alone.

"In more ancient times, the wizarding world might have flourished."

"But that ancient, glorious era vanished for some reason... Most records have vanished, leaving only a few scattered names."

And Ryan knew it very well.

This is where it all started.

It is precisely because we believe that the ancient, glorious era of the magical world once existed.

So the Big Four began that great journey.

That's why Ryan Elias met them.

And now, Ryan is very suspicious - this powerful ancient spell on Harry may come from that era!

So, Ryan continued his analysis.

Soon, he understood the general effect of the spell.

This result almost shocked Ryan.

"A soul connected by blood is shattered."

"A life full of love voluntarily sacrificed."

"And this great sacrifice forged this unprecedentedly powerful soul-protection spell!"

Yes, this is the effect of this spell.

Someone cast this spell at the cost of their own utter shattering of their soul—it meant she could not pass to the other side of the veil, not even as a ghost.

She sacrificed herself to protect Harry's soul from being harmed by evil.

And Ryan could naturally guess who cast the spell.

"Lily Potter..."

Ryan murmured the name in his heart.

He then continued to check on Harry's condition.

"It seems the protection created by this spell has been attacked by some powerful magic—hmm? This magic seems familiar. Oh... I see!"

"So that's how Tom was 'defeated' by Harry? By having his most famous spell bounced back?"

Ryan found it incredible.

He had seen Voldemort's Killing Curse with his own eyes - a powerful spell that had already glimpsed the essence of magic!

And this ancient curse on Harry could actually deflect Voldemort's Killing Curse... and even kill him with it!?

"This spell can even record the magic it has resisted... This means that Voldemort can't actually harm Harry directly, so it definitely wasn't him who attacked Harry!"

"But it's strange. Harry's mother is dead, and this protection should have dissipated over time, but it still exists... Why is that? Oh - bloodline, yes... No wonder Harry has to live with his aunt and uncle!"

Ryan kept analyzing it in his mind, and he gradually understood how special Harry, the 'boy who survived', was!

In a sense, he is really Voldemort's nemesis!

But just a moment later...

"this..."

Ryan's complexion changed visibly.

Because at this moment, he discovered something else deep in Harry's soul.

That was an evil soul that did not belong to Lily Potter or Harry Potter!

"damn it!"

Ryan realized what it was almost instantly.

"What's wrong, Ryan?"

At this moment, Dumbledore, who was also concerned about Ryan's every move, looked at him.

"Did you find anything?"
